Coraline yawned, stretching her arms up as she kicked her sheets off her bed. Legs dangling off the end of the bed Coraline sat up onto her arms and stared down at legs that were longer then last night. Coraline knew she grew and grew quite quickly but this was ridiculous. Swinging her legs over Coraline walked over to her marked door and stood

He had only been up for an hour or so, but Johnny had already learned several important* things about being older. One: he was still fairly invisible, especially compared to the rest of the island. Two: instead of growing into his nose like his mother had always said his nose seemed to be on a mission to take over his face. Three: the clothes box still disliked him. And four: shaving was difficult.

But at least he was taller and his voice no longer squeaked at embarrassing moments. Or so he hoped. Nothing particularly embarrassing had happened yet and Johnny was in no hurry to go out and hunt awkward moments down. Instead he was just walking around, trying to get a feel for this new body. It was weird. He was still him, Johnny Maxwell, age fourteen-ish. He knew he was still him, but every time he happened to catch a glimpse of his reflection or his taller shadow it was awfully hard to make himself remember that fact.

*And frankly, rather depressing.

There were some things that would never change no matter how old Coraline was or at least appeared to be. She would always love wellington boots. She would always love running and sports and activities and her new older body seemed very keen on them. And she would always love making Johnny Maxwell squeak like a girl.

Coraline lured in wait, waiting for him to pass her by before she ran straight for him and pounced. The only problem with this was that Coraline had been a fourteen year old girl before and now she was very definitely a woman. With a very womanly shape and womanly legs and certain other womanly things in the chest area.

"Hi Johnny!" Coraline said cheerily. Well, okay maybe her plan to pretend to be Caroline wasn't going quite as well but really it was only Johnny who was he going to tell.

Mercifully, Johnny did not squeak. He did, however, flail quite a bit as he tried to unwind the woman from him with the minimum amount of touching allowed. And looking. Strange women didn't just pounce on him, especially not ones that looked like this. In fact, the only person who pounced on him at all was--

"...Coraline?"

She sounded like Coraline. She acted like Coraline. But, while most of her looked like Coraline, there were several parts of her that definitely didn't.

Coraline, to tell the truth, was a little disappointed by the lack of squealing. Coraline enjoyed Johnny flailing but it wasn't quite the same and he wasn't quite the same either. He was still Johnny, she recognised him but he was taller and much more well, Johnny-ish.

"Of course, who else did you think it was? Do you often get girls lurking in bushes and jumping out at you?" Coraline asked curiously, scrunching her face up exactly like she would normally do. Coraline grinned at Johnny before straightening up and poking a finger into his, quite nice, chest. "But you're not to call me Coraline, it's Caroline. Okay? Or else no one will let me do anything and I want to do Everything. I've got a list."
