with her busy parents, Mel and Charlie Jones, who stay in offices all day. When Coraline does all her tasks her parents asked her to do, she goes to meet her neighbors, Mr. Bobinsky, and Miss Spink & Miss Forcible. After the ladies tell her about an old well not far from the house, Coraline decides to find it by using a dowsing rod. While searching, she meets an odd boy named Wybie Lovat and his cat, and it would appear that Wybie has a crush on her. Although Coraline found Wybie annoying, he showed her where the well was. After returning home (shown to be the next day), we see her busy parents Mel and Charlie. The next night Coraline goes to sleep in her new bedroom.
