I was wishing for it to last -
I wanted it to last forever,
And yet,
I wanted it to end so badly.

“So, Wybourne, not talking?” Coraline said.

Other Wybie waved as excitedly as he could. “Hi!” His eyes seemed to say.

“Why isn’t he talking?” Coraline asked.

“He isn’t talking because I fixed him for you, I thought you might like him better this way.” The Other Mother said kindly. Other Wybie just kept waving.

“Hm… I think I like it.” Coraline said.

“Yay! She likes me!” Other Wybie thought. “I knew I was better than that copy of me!” Other Wybie smiled a happy smile.

“Now you two better get up to Mr.Bobinski’s circus upstairs. The show’s about to begin!” the Other Mother said happily.

“Come on!” Other Wybie said with his eyes. He lightly grabbed Coraline’s arm and started to bring her out of the house.

“Alright, alright I’m coming Wybie!” Coraline happily said.

The duo quickly walked outside. Other Wybie was smiling from ear to ear.
“I can’t believe I’ve finally met her! I’ll take good care of her.” Other Wybie thought to himself.

“So, Wybie, did it hurt when she... uh, fixed you? Coraline asked awkwardly.

Other Wybie thought for a moment, before giving a look that said. “No.” and he shook his head.

He thought again for a moment afterwards though, “Maybe it did hurt... a little bit…” he thought. And he almost frowned. But they were at the top of the stairs now, and they had just seen a glowing blue mini-blimp go through a tiny window. “Now is not the time to be sad. I have Coraline now.”  He thought.

The two ran up the stairs, and knocked on the big door. At that moment, the door flipped them into the small little room. And in the room was a circus, a magnificent little circus. In front of the small tent, there were 8 cannons with foot pedals, and a chicken that produced popcorn into tiny popcorn boxes.

“Wow!” Coraline exclaimed. “There really is a mouse circus!” She ran ahead to the popcorn.

“Wow!” Other Wybie thought. “I wonder what this does…” POOSH! Other Wybie stepped on a bunch of the cannons’ foot pedals. He was covered in cotton candy. It seems that the cannons shot cotton candy.

“Wybie... hehe.” Coraline giggled and ran over to him.

“What can I say...? I didn’t know.” Other Wybie smiled awkwardly.

The two continued to marvel at the little flat that seemed alive with magic. They almost forgot the reason they were there until –

“Come one, come all, to Mr.Bobinski’s Musical Mice Circus!” A voice rang out.

“Come on Wybie, let’s go!” Coraline ran over to grab Other Wybie and she dropped the popcorn she was holding.

“Alright!” Other Wybie thought as she grabbed his arm and brought him over to the small tent opening. “This should be fun!”

The two went inside and Coraline grabbed a cotton candy off of Other Wybie’s hair.
When they came in, out of nowhere, lots of little jumping mice with button eyes started to parade in front of them. They danced and played their little instruments, and they even did some tricks.
The first thing they did after parading in was spelling the name “ C-O-R-A-L-I-N-E ” out with the bodies and tails.

“That’s my name!” Coraline excitedly said as she tugged at Other Wybie’s coat sleeve
“It is!” Other Wybie thought happily and nodded. Things were getting to be very exciting. And all the while Other Wybie kept thinking to himself, “This is amazing, Coraline, she’s amazing. I’m so happy she’s here.”

After that, the mice started to march up a platform that rose up from the circus floor.  They marched up and stood there, slightly bouncing, until the mouse at the top jumped up onto a small ball, and as the mouse rolled the ball down the sides of the platform, the mice jumped off one by one.

“Wow!” Coraline exclaimed. Other Wybie nodded his head in agreement.

And after the mice were all off of the platform, the platform gave a “POP” and there stood the Other Mr.Bobinski, in a circus conductor’s uniform, giving them a big grin set off by his big, blue, handlebar mustache.

“Wow!!” Coraline said as she clapped, Other Wybie nodded and thought “Wow!” and clapped as well.

“Ah, did thee like thee show, eh Coraline, and friend of Coraline?” Other Bobinski asked.

“Oh yeah! We totally loved it Mr.B!” Coraline exclaimed happily.

“Yeah! It was amazing!” Other Wybie thought as he continued clapping.

“Ah, vell feel free to return anytime you vant too Coraline, thee show is just for you.” Other Mr.Bobinski kindly said.

“I definitely will Mr.B!” Coraline said.

Coraline and Other Wybie then walked out of the tent. They were greeted by the Other Mother and Other Father at the front door.

“I take it you enjoyed the show, dear?” The Other Mother said kindly.

“Oh yes! I loved it!” Coraline said. Other Wybie nodded.

“Best be getting to bed then, little Coraline.” The Other Father said as he grabbed some cotton candy still attached to Other Wybie’s hair.

“ Yawn. , I guess you’re right.” Coraline said.

The four people walked back into the Other Pink Palace, and up to Coraline’s room to say goodnight.

“Goodnight everyone, goodnight Wybie…” Coraline sleepily said.

Other Wybie looked kindly at her as she started to fall asleep. “I can’t wait until she wakes up… I feel all happy when we’re together. I wonder, do I have to sleep too?”

The Other Mother, the Other Father, and Other Wybie stood there while she slept, and as she slept, she faded back into her own world.

“Hm, she went back to her world? I hope I see her again soon…” Other Wybie thought sadly.

“Well, I guess we’re done until she comes back.” The Other Mother said. “Wybie, why don’t you go outside or something, she won’t be coming back until later. Go make yourself useful in some way. Come on Other Father, we need to set things up.” The Other Mother said as she walked the Other Father out of the room.

“Huh? Alright… What’s going on? She seems… different… Less nice.” Other Wybie thought.
He then walked out of the bedroom.
