12 years ago Coraline Jones defeated the Beldam and saved the souls of the ghost children that where killed by the women disguising herself as the other mother. It's been twelve years since Coraline locked the door and threw the key down the well. Since then Coraline and Wybie both grew up and moved out of Oregon, and her parents eventually moved as well. Mrs. Lovat also died of old age, and the pink palace went under new ownership. With new ownership comes new occupants, and a new adventure for the new family.


"Mom, I still don't understand why we're moving" 12 year old Noel Con said to his mother

"What don't you understand" Sara Con sighed, "Your dads been relocated, that's why we're moving" She told her so for the umpteenth time

"Okay let me rephrase. We don't live that far from where dads been relocated, so why are we moving" Noel rephrased

"What do you mean we live close" Noel's father Stuart said looking at his son through the mirror, "We moved from Massachusetts, to Oregon" Stuart explained

"You could have done it" Noel told his father

"Yeah, alright" his father rolled his eyes, "you obviously don't pay attention in social studies"

"besides, after the whole freaky Zombie accident that happened, I feel like the whole family would feel safer away from that town" Sara explained to her son

Leaning back in his seat Noel sighed and looked out the window. His parents wanted to reveal where they would be living as a surprise, and Noel was anxious to see his new house. As the car drove up the driveway Noel's eyes widened at the pink house the car was driving close to.

"What. The Heck. Is this" Noel asked as his eyes widened at the pink house

"Welcome to our new home" Stuart smiled

"IT'S SO PINK" Noel's younger sister Angelica yelled in excitement as she tore off her seatbelt and scrambled over Noel to peer out the window

"It's called the pink Palace" Sara said smiling at her youngest

"I love this place already!" She yelled

"Shut up and Get off of me" Noel said annoyed, while pushing his sister off of him

"NOEL" Sara yelled, turning around to face her son, "What did I tell you about putting your hands on your sister

"She put her hands on me first" Noel tried to defend himself

"I don't care, you do not put your hands on girls"

"what if they put their hands on me first"

"Then you ignore it, or you tell the teacher, or you leave" Sara told him

Noel rolled his eyes as the car came to a stop. Getting out of the car first, Noel jumped out of the way of Angelical who ran up to the house. His father opened the trunk to the car door, and Noel ran towards it, grabbing his skateboard and running towards the gates that his father just drove through.

"NOEL WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING" Stuart yelled at his son

"I'M GOING EXPLORING" he yelled back

Not waiting for his father to call him back Noel ran out of the gate and threw his skateboard down, stepping on it and skating on the path surronding by trees. To be honest Noel didn't care about exploring, he just didn't want to be around his family at the moment, and he didn't want to be stuck with unpacking.

Skating around Noel looked around at his surroundings. There wasn't mich to see except trees, bushes, flowers, grass, dirt, and the obvious things you find outside. The bushes shook in front of Noel and he stopped. Raising an eyebrow Noel hopped off of his skateboard and cautiously walked towards the shaking bush.

Reaching towards the Bush red eyes opened, scaring Noel who jumped back, when a small, all white animals jumped out. Shocked Noel screamed and fell to the ground.

"Ahh, what the hell" Noel crawled away from the white animal with blood red eyes that snarled at him. Getting a good look at the animal, Noel realized that it was a small wolf. Barking at Noel, the white wolf ran away. Shaking his head Noel got up off of the ground and continued on with his exploration.

Stopping Noel raised an eyebrow at a covered up hole on the ground. Walking over to the covered hole, Noel stomped his foot hard down on it.

"I wouldn't do that if a where you" a female voice said from above. Looking up towards the cliffs, Noel seen a girl. She looked to be his age with long dirty blonde hair, wearing baggy cargo pants and a long coat with skeleton gloves.

"and why not" Noel said smartly

Rolling her eyes the girl walked down the path, pushing Noel off of the Wooden cover. She bent down in front of Noel, picking up a stick and peeling the cover open with all her might, once it was off, she looked towards Noel

"Because this cover isn't that sturdy and you might fall into the well" she explained

"Ha, what a cliche" Noel rolled his eyes

"So are you new here" the girl asked as she covered the well again

"Gee how did you know" Noel said sarcastically

"No need to be sarcastic" the girl said, "then again it was pretty obvious seeing as my aunt is the new owner of the place you live in" She told him

"Your Aunt owns that pink house" Noel asked

"Yup"

"Why the heck didn't she change the color then"

The girl laughed and sat down on a stump. Now that she was closer Noel seem she had fairly tan skin, with grey eyes, and pouty full lips. She was also really skinny.

"So what's your name kid" She asked him

"Kid?" Noel raised an eyebrow, "I'm pretty sure I'm older than you"

"how old are you then?"

"12"

"when's your birthday?"

"August"

"I'm July, so that means I'm older," She smirked "Kid"

"Because a month apart makes you so much more of an adult than me" Noel rolled his eyes

"So what's your name" she asked, ignoring his sarcasm

"Noel" he introduced, "Noel Con"

"Noel Con Huh" She tested out, "I like it, sounds cool"

"right" Noel nodded slowly, looking at the blonde weirdly, "so what's your name"

"I rather not tell you that" she declined

"Why, I told you mine"

"If I told you my name, you wouldn't believe me"

"Oh, it's one of those stupidly retarded names that get you bullied" Noel established

"Stupidly retarded Yes, but please, they wish they could bully me"

"so tell me your name" Noel urged

The blonde haired girl name really was weird, but then again, he's gonna find out one way or another. "Remember" she answered"

"Remember what" Noel said looking at the blonde weirdly

"Remember Stone"

"I just moved here, how could I remember Stone" He said seriously

"I don't know if you're being serious, or if you're being sarcastic"

"You told me to remember stone"

"no, my name IS Remeber Stone" She clearified

Noel stared at the blonde haired girl named Remember. He knew what to say, but Remember isnt a name, it's a word used for forgetful people.

"Your parents must hate you" Noel said after a long pause

"Not everyone can have a cool sounding name like Noel Con okay" Remember said loudly

"yeah, whatever," Noel dismissed, "Anyway I should be heading back, I realized that I left before I could pick a room so my sisters most likely got the biggest of the 4"

Waving his hand Noel got on his skateboard and kicked the ground to go. Remember watched afte him, sensing something bad. Shrugging her shoulder she got up from her stump and continued doing what she was doing.


Arriving at his at his new house Noel walked up the stairs to the porch, and entered through the front door. The inside of the house was huge. When walking into the Fouer you was faced with the stairs that led upstairs, with a closet on the side. To the right was double doors towards the Livingroom, and to the left was an arch that led towards the kitchen and diningroom.

Jogging up the stairs two at a time, Noel reached the top of the stairs. walking through the halls Noel looked in each room to find Angelina in a big room, and Angelica in a big room. He also found his dad setting up what seemed to be the Office. Reaching the end of the hall Noel looked into the very last room, and seen his stuff piled inside. Walking I to the room, Noel looked around. It was obviously smaller than the other rooms by a lot and it had a nice bay window with a couch attached to it. To make it even worse, it couldn't even fit his Keyboard stand, and there was no room to even push his desk chair out.

"DAD" Noel yelled as he walked out of the room, "DAD" he yelled again as he reached the office

"What is it Noel" His father grumbled

"I can't live in that room" Noel exclaimed, "it's too small"

"Who's fault is that for running off instead of helping"

"Yeah but I barely have any space for anything" Noel told him

"Oh well"

"What do you mean oh well. If my stuff can't fit into my room, then where is it going to go"

"In the trash, or stored somewhere"

"But that's not fair" Noel argued, "why can't I switch rooms with Angelica"

"Because she picked that room first"

"What about the time when I woke up first and wanted french toast for breakfast, but when Angelina woke up and asked do pancakes she got pancakes"

"What you're talking about, and the situation you're in doesn't go together" Stuart raised an eyebrow at his son

"What about when I was watching TV first, and then Angelica wanted to watch TV and I had to give it up so she could watch the stupid wonder pets" Noel asked annihed

"Because she's your little sister and you need to be nice to your little sister" Stuart tole him

"Do I also have to be like that to my older sister as well" Noel rolled his eyes

"Go unpack your room Noel" his father dismissed him

"No ones ever nice to me in this stupid family" Noel mumbled under his breath as he walked away from his father and back into his room. His queen sized bed was already set up, and so was his dresser, bookshelf and desk. Sighing Noel started unpacking his things.

Noel lived in a family of 5. Their was his mother Sara Con, a writer and editor for a popular cooking magazine. She had short Brown hair, with blue eyes, fair skin, and freckles covered her face. She was petite, being only a couple of inches taller than Noel himself. Noel's father Stuart Con is the 6'4 tall and muscular new local Doctor/Psychiatrist with short black hair, green eyes, and pale skin due to his strenuous schedule.

After his Parents came Noel's siblings. Angelina Con is Noel's 15 year old sister. She has long blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and full lips like their mother, but she gets her 5'6 height and thin stature from their dad. Angelica Con is the youngest at 6 and the most spoiled child. She. like Angelina has long blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and full pouty lips. From the way his family treated him, Noel disliked them strongly.

The first thing Noel put away was his clothes, followed by his books, and he set his laptop down on his desk. Now all Noel needed was his shelves set up for his trophy's, and his hooks to set up for his skateboards and his poster boards. Until then Noel made up his bed, and set his guitar and easel.

Bired with unpacking Noel walked downstairs and into the kitchen where his mother www unpacking the plates and other kitchen utensils.

"Hey honey" his mother greeted, "how do you like the house"

"It's bigger than it looks, but I don't care because I have a small room"

"Who's fault is it for running off" Sara looked at him

"Shouldn't we have some type of order in this house" Noel sighed in frustration, "Like when it comes to me Angelina always gets the better things because she's older, but when it comes to me I don't get anything because I'm bith younger and older" Noel told her

"Stop being so dramatic Noel, you're younger than Angelina, and older than Angelica, so you're stuck in a stalemate" his mother explained

"Then what about being the only boy"

"You're not the only boy"

"I am now" Noel exclaimed

"No" his mother mouthed making Noel suck his teeth, "so what do you want for dinner" she asked him

"are you gonna get what I ask, or should I not waste my breath because it doesn't matter what I want if Angelica or Angelina wants something else"

"Noel" his mother warned

"I want Taco Bell" he told her

"Okay" his mother nodded, "now help me in here"

complying Noel helped his mother unpack the kitchen. Minutes later his father walked into the kitchen

"house is coming along nicely isn't it" Stuart smiled at his wife

"I know, to bad it's not a house anymore"

"dad, mom said we're having Taco Bell for dinner" Noel told his father before his sisters could ask for anything else

"Okay" Stuart said looking at his son weirdly, "I'll get Taco Bell"

"Yes" Noel cheered

"Noel I'll set up your shelves tomorrow okay" Staurt told him

"whatever you say dad" Noel mumbled. Walking out of the kitchen, Noel looked through a couple of boxes seated in the foyer to find a couple of hooks and some tape. Once he found those hooks he walked back upstairs. It was those simple and easy hooks that stuck to the wall with those sticker things. Once the hooks where set up Noel set his three skateboards down in a column. His skateboards where all personalized by himself. His favorite skateboard was designed with a red superman S shield, and superman stickers on the underside. He also set up his spray painted Superman Cavas board, and his spray painted graffiti name in Blue, red, and yellow. (If you didn't already figure it out, Noel loves superman)

Kicking off his shoes, and pants, Noel sat down on his bed and grabbed his PSP. Turning his portable game device on, he continued his mode on Metal gear solid. Somewhere around 7 Noel paused his game and put it down on his bed. Leaving his room he walked downstairs to see if his father got Taco Bell. When he walked into the kitchen he found his family eating Burger King.

"Noel, I got you a Whooper meal" his father told him, handing him a small bag

"I thought you was getting Taco Bell"

"I was, but your sisters wanted Burger King"

"I asked first though"

"Sorry champ, but majority rules"

"we'll get Taco Bell next time" his mother told him with a smile

"that's what you said last time" Noel retorted back

"Noel, just sit down and eat" his father commanded

"but I don't want Burger King"

"It's either Burger King or nothing" Stuart stated

""I rather starve" Noel rolled his eyes

"Why don't you stop acting like a selfish brat and eat" Angelina spoke up annoyed "atleast dad got you what you always get from Mcdonalds"

"No, he got me what you wanted me to get from Bruger King" Noel clearified

"People in Africa and Haiti would be happy to have this food" Sara told her son

"I don't care" Noel stated, "so I'm not gonna eat"

Before his mother could say anything Noel stomped up the stairs and into his room, slamming the door shut in the process.

"I HATE ALL OF YOU" Noel screamed loudly through the house. Falling onto his bed the 12 year old boy let the tears fall from his face. They never listen, and only think of me as nothing other than a brat, he thought angrily, I wish Joel was here... I wish they wasn't my family... I wish I had another, no a better family... He continued to cry until he fell asleep.
