Chapter 1: An unexpected call
It was a rather comfortable day outside, and Willy Wonka was sent to go pick up Charlie,
because Mrs. Buckett was very ill, and Charlie's father was at work, and you should know the grandparents' excuse. Charlie was in a state of depression, because recenty his grandpa Joe recently passed on, but everyone, including Wonka, were there to get Charlie out of grief. When Willy arrived, he didn't see Charlie in his usual spot, then realized that he had to go inside of the school, because Charlie was in the office window. As soon as he noticed his teacher/best friend, he buried his face into his bookbag like he did something wrong. As soon as he walked into the office, Willy looked at Charlie confused.
"Are you Charlie's guardian", asked a strange voice. Willy looked up to see a figure about as tall as Charlie. She was wearing a navy blue dress, sapphire earrings, and her hair was up in a ponytail. She looked to be about in her late 50's.
"Yeah", Wonka answered as if she was stupid or something.
"Well, sir, Charlie got himself into a fight today", she said.
"Charlie? Fight? With who? Why?", Willy asked.
"Mr. Wonka, yes there was a fight, Charlie was involved, and by school rules, I had no choice but to suspend him," she said. Charlie wanted to know why he was the only one who was suspended. Why didn't the other kid get suspended.
"I didn't start the fight though, Jeff stared it," Charlie explained. There was a bit of fuss going around but there's no need to explain that.
Later that night, Charlie's mom was a bit flabbergasted when she heard that he got suspended for getting into a fight, so he got grounded. And that meant he couldn't work with his teacher. Charlie decided to skip dinner, he was mad enough for one: getting grounded,
and two: getting suspended. And he didn't even start the fight. During dinner, Charlie just hung out under a candy cane tree. When Willy stopped by, he decided to talk to Charlie about what happened at his school.
"Hey, Charlie."
"What do you want," Charlie asked, rather rudely.
"I just wanna know what really happened today. I know you too well, you didn't...well at least start a fight," Wonka responded.
"Well," Charlie started, "you're right. I wasn't the one who started the fight."
"Can you tell me who did," said Wonka.
"It was some jerk in my class. His name is Jeff," said Charlie.
"Oh," Willy started,"I get it now. Some kid started a fight with you and took you out on starting it, huh?"
"Yep," Charlie responded.
"Well that's dumb," Willy stated. "You know what, Charlie? Just ignore him, that's what I did when I was your age."
"I try to do that, but, it's kinda hard to ignore someone that sits by you in every single period of the school day," said Charlie.
"I wanna know why he's bullying you all the time," Willy said. Charlie just gave a blank stare, wondering why Willy cared so freaking much.
"Well, for one, he's making fun of me because I'm still upset about...well, ya know,"
Charlie started. "And he isn't just bullying me, he's bullying my friends, too."
"But, I don't understand. Why do people think it's okay to do that crap," Willy asked.
"I don't know," Charlie responded. There was some awkward silence going on for a minute and Willy decided to break that.
"Well, I think you should probably get to bed, kay," said Wonka.
"Okay, goodnight, Mr. Wonka," Charlie said tiredly.
"Night, kiddo," Willy said back. When Charlie made it to his house in the candy meadow, Willy went to his home inside the factory. By the time he was in his study, he heard the Dr. Mario theme song. He realized that it was his cell phone ringing. He saw it was his niece, Graceanne.
Every once in a while, Graceanne, or Gracie is what Willy likes to call her, would call her uncle to see how he was doing. Gracie now lives in the state of Oklahoma, and Willy remains in Alaska. Willy flipped open the phone and answered it.
"Hello," Willy asked.
"...Willy," a voice said through the speaker.
"Is that you, Gracie," Willy asked with concern.
"Y-yes," Gracie said in an upset tone.
"What's wrong, kiddo? You don't sound so happy," Willy asked.
"I-I'm scared, man," Gracie said. " I don't know what to do! Mom and Dad are dead, and you're the only one I thought to call."
"Wait, what. They're gone," Willy asked even more concerned than before.
"Yes, and I don't know what to do, I don't know where to go," Gracie cried.
"Aw, kid. I'm so sorry," Willy started. "God, I wish you weren't so far away. I wanna help you out."
"Well, maybe you could. Mom and Dad did get me a plane ticket to visit you," said Gracie.
"I'd be more than happy to see ya, kiddo," Willy said.
"Maybe I can use it, but I probably won't be there until two weeks from now," Gracie said.
"Well...why not," Willy started. "It has been a long time after all."
"Okay then, see ya in a couple of weeks," Gracie said happliy.
Then they hung up. Willy was excited. Though it was a while ago, Willy and Gracie have been BFFs for a long time, and tend to keep it that way. Gracie was pretty excited, too. But she is still very upset that she lost her parents to a stinkin fire. Willy hopes to God that she'll reconize him, and he will reconize her. After the call, Willy went straight to bed.
I'll have chapter 2 up if I figure out how to add chapters. Well the begining was like that because I needed to think of how Gracie is gonna contact Willy about the...well ya know.
Yes, Willy's ringtone is the Dr. Mario theme song because it was his favorite game growing up in the story...plz review!
