Any Ideas?/Flashback Two

Charlie got Willy's attention.


"Mr. Wonka, there's a tunnel!"


They looked straight ahead.


"Full speed ahead."


The boat was faster.


"It's so dark," Mrs. Beauregarde said.


"Oh, switch on the lights."


The lights were on. The boat went through the tunnel. 


"People, keep a look out, we're passing up very important rooms here," Willy said.


They looked at the rooms. They noticed a room where Oompa Loompas were tending to sheep.


"I'd rather not talk about that," Willy said.


Winnie smiled.


"Wonka's cotton candy?"


Charlie shrugged.


"Hair cream, why use hair cream?" Mrs. Beauregarde asked.


"To lock in moisture," Willy said floofing his hair.


They saw Oompa Loompas whipping cows.


"Whipped cream," Charlie said.


"Precisely."


"That doesn't make any sense," Veruca said.


"For your information little girl, whipped cream isn't whipped cream at all unless it's being whipped with whips, everybody knows that."


Winnie chuckled.


"Any other ideas Willy?" She asked.


"Oh yeah. Stop the boat!"


The boat stopped.


"I wanna show you something."


They got off the boat.


"Invention Room."


"Yes, it's where the magic happens. Come over here."


They followed Willy to a machine.


"Toffee!" Winnie said.


"Yes, it's called hair toffee, after you eat this, hair will start growing on top your little noggin, and a mustache and a beard. We tried it on an Oompa Loompa and it didn't go very well."


An Oompa Loompa draped with hair walked to Willy.


"How are you today?"


Both thumbs were up.


"Good."


He walked away.


"Who wants a beard?" Mike asked.


" Well, beatniks for one, folk singers, and motorbike riders. You know; All those hip, jazzy, super cool, neat, keen, and groovy cats. It's in the fridge, daddy-o! Are you hip to the jive? Can you dig what I'm laying down? I knew that you could. Slide me some skin, soul brother."


Willy stuck his hand out for a handshake, Mike just looked at him. Winnie couldn't help but smile. They walked to another machine.


"Who wants to press this button?" Willy asked.


"I will."


Winnie walked to her brother.


"Press it, watch this."


Winnie pressed the button. After a short while, a gobstopper popped out.


"These are everlasting gobstoppers, for children with little to know allowance, you can suck on it all you want and it won't get any smaller."


"It's gum!" Violet said.


"No, gum is for chewing, if chew on these it'll break all your little teeth off. We don't want that do we?"


"No," Winnie said.


They walked to another machine. He pulled a lever. All that popped out after all the anticipation was a single stick of gum.


"That?" Mike asked.


"You're mumbling again," Winnie said smirking.


Violet picked up the gum.


"It's gum."


"Not just any old gum, it's my newest invention!"


Willy took out a card.


"It'll be the end of all kitchens and all cooking. Just a stick of Wonka's chewing gum and it's all you'll ever need for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This stick contains roast beef, tomato soup, and blueberry pie."


Winnie smiled, she was proud of her brother.


"It's my kind of gum!" Violet said.


She took out the gum she was chewing on and put it behind her ear.


"I wouldn't eat it if I were-"


"I'm the world champion gum chewer, I'm not afraid of anything."


She put it in her mouth.


"How is it honey?" Her mom asked.


"Roast beef and tomato soup, I can feel it running down my throat!"


"Yeah, spit it out," Willy said.


"Keep chewing honey, my daughter's gonna be the first to have a gum for a meal."


"I think she has been for three months straight, don't you think?" Winnie asked.


"It still has some issues."


"Young lady, I think-"


Grandpa Joe was interrupted.


"Let her chew," Mrs. Beauregarde said.


"I'm just worried about the-"


"Blueberry pie and ice cream!"


"That."



"The juicing room, what're they gonna do over there?"


"They're gonna squeeze her like a little pimple ha. Go on, go."


Violet and her mom were gone.


"Alright, let's boogie."


They left the inventing room and down a hall.


"Mr. Wonka?" Charlie asked.


"Yeah?"


"Why did you invite five kids here?"


"So they can see the factory of course?"


"Why now? What's the prize gonna be if one of us wins?"


"The best prize is a surprise, ha ha ha. All of you will get a lifetime supply of chocolate bars though."


"Do you remember the first chocolate you tried?"


*Willy and Winnie Flashback*


The twins walked to the fireplace and dug in it for leftover.


"So gross to be digging in the fireplace Willy!"


"Shh, I bet it's still delicious."


He found two chocolates that were still good.


"Two, one for me and you."


They walked outside and unwrapped the chocolate.


"Ready?" Willy asked.


"Yeah."


They ate it.
