I don't own any characters aside from my own. I am finally back and the new story shall start with a bang! By the way, my recent story, Charlie and the Bizarre Behavior of the Blueberry Girl instantly became my most viewed story, so I thank you!
Disclaimer: In order to understand this story, it is highly recommended you first read Willy Wonka and the Trial of the Century and then Trial of the Century: Clive's Revenge. If you don't, you may end up getting confused, and at this point, I don't blame you considering this is the 3rd in the Trial of the Century series I'm writing. A thanks to VerucaBeyotch for requesting this! Now I've made you wait long enough, so on with the story!
Chapter 1: A Birthday of Sad Memories
It's a very common tale, where revenge starts and destruction follows. An endless cycle begins revolving and one small thing can set it off. It can wait for weeks and remain stagnant, but can go back to turning again. Hopefully, the wheel of revenge hasn't waited so long, it has cobwebs on it. That would be really gross. Either way, it's already began turning and turning. It was only a matter of time since the aftermath of Clive's path toward destruction, as things were rather quiet. It began turning on a chilly October night, when a former blue girl was being celebrated for a day she wouldn't be feeling so happy about.
"Happy Birthday, Violet!" The shout in unison was heard as soon as she walked in the room. Violet had forgotten all about today. She had been all around town patrolling. She and the others were heroes, after all.
"You guys remembered!" She had a fake smile up and tried to hold back her feelings, but Charlie immediately recognized that face. It was the face she made when she had something to hide.
"Are you okay, Violet?" Charlie asked with reluctance. He may be her boyfriend, but he knows her temper (Even though she wouldn't really lay a hand on him). "You haven't seemed like yourself lately."
Violet looked around, trying to change the subject. "Where's Mike?" She curiously asked.
Charlie wasn't backing down. His experience had changed him, made him tougher. "Violet, we've talked about this. You can trust us, just like we trust you! Please tell us what's wrong!" Violet started tearing up as Charlie tried to comfort her. Suddenly, Mike burst through the door in his armor with a bunch of crystals in his hands.
"I'm back with the crystals! I told you I could do it, so Augustus owes me 20 bucks. I hope Violet isn't back yet, because I still need to hook these up to the light fixtures. Man, I tell you, it took a lot of time to make these, but dimensional crossing makes it so much easier. These babies will make a killer chandelier!" He stopped because he realized everyone was staring at him. "What?"
Violet finally spoke up and said, "Guys, I really appreciate what you did. I really do. It's not anyone, it's me. I didn't want to celebrate my birthday, and I hoped you would forget. Now before anyone asks why, it's not that I regret being born. It's just that it reminds me of everything terrible I did. Not to mention my mother left me, so I have practically no family. But I do feel like celebrating now with all of you!" Everyone cheered on and began the festivities.
The air was suddenly filled with comfort. Everyone was having fun, except Augustus, who was paying Mike the $20. Mike wickedly smiled as he was counting his earnings. I have to stop making bets with Mike, Augustus thought to himself. Everyone laughed while Veruca went over to ask Augustus to dance. Violet and Charlie also got up to dance. Having no partner, Mike decided to dance with the money he got. Jokes on them, Mike thought. I still won the bet.
Violet looked at Charlie and said, "I'm sorry I didn't appear so enthusiastic. I guess I'm just not feeling very happy."
Charlie looked right back and replied, "It's perfectly fine. You have me, and it will be better tomorrow. I invited your siblings to the factory."
Violet immediately yelled, "You did what?!" The room fell silent as everyone looked surprised. Mike immediately grabbed Charlie and made an excuse to leave the room.
Mike whispered to Charlie, "My friend, I would run if I were you, because you just made a bad mistake. Violet's told me about this. She has a twin sister named Vera and an older brother named Victor. She's always been in the middle, and she always considers herself the black sheep of the family. You shouldn't have invited them. They make her feel bad."
Charlie whispered back, "I'm sorry, but nobody told me about this and it's too late."
They made their way back in and saw Violet had calmed down. She looked at Charlie and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be upset, but you should've told me. It's going to be okay, so there's nothing to worry about. But Augustus is taking my patrol shift." Everyone began to laugh as Augustus let out a frustrated sigh. Violet looked up and said, "Now I think it's time to continue the celebration!"
As the celebration continued, a man was standing at the summit of a mountain overlooking the factory. He was wearing incredibly dark clothes and a black hat. He was looking at Violet and Charlie with incredibly focused binoculars. He continued observing them...
That's the first chapter, and I hope to see you all again!
