Author's Note: Sequel to Candy Crossed. The Doctor in this episode is the Tenth.
A month had passed since William Wonka crossed paths with his alternate self in an alternate universe, where he had gone to rescue four of the Golden Ticket winners from being trapped in the wrong dimension. In the end, he not only succeeded in bringing them back home, but he had proven his theory that the raw time crystals he had used in his candy could open gateways through time and space. And while he couldn't be completely certain that it was safe in the long run, the fact that Violet Beauregarde and Mike Teavee had been restored to their normal selves in the time tunnel gave him hope that any consequence of time travel would not be so terrible. Even still, he hadn't used any of the Time Candy since then. It was sitting in a locker in the Inventing Room, along with a few time crystals he was planning to experiment with later. He was considering returning them to the place he had found them, since they had caused so much trouble. But then again, why get rid of them if he could just use them up? He smiled as he thought about visiting the alternate universe where his own alternate, Willy Wonka, lived. William was grateful for the other Wonka's help in getting the Ticket Winners back to their own dimension. He was also curious how Willy's Tour turned out. Perhaps he would go over and ask.
William strolled toward the Inventing Room, glad that Charlie was busy with his schooling under the smartest Oompa-Loompas, and the rest of the Bucket family was making adjustments to living and working in the massive factory. The old grandparents had a great talent for accounting, since they knew how to make the most out of everything, and Charlie's father turned out to have a great mind for mechanics. Mrs. Bucket found joy in caring for the Oompa-Loompa children while their parents were at work, and they all adored her in return. Yes, the Bucket family was a great addition to the Wonka Company, but more than that, they had accepted Wonka as family. He smiled fondly to himself as he walked down a long corridor that was decorated with various statues. While Wonka appreciated art, the Oompa-Loompas seemed fascinated with it and sometimes "acquired" local pieces. There were bronze busts of old officials, plaster replicas of Greek gods, and marble columns engraved with curious scenes from history. There seemed to be a new addition today, and William chuckled as he passed it by - a stone angel that was covering its face with its hands, as if it was weeping. No doubt a church somewhere in the village was missing a statue, William thought. He made a mental note to scold the Oompa-Loompas for stealing, but that could wait until later. He moved on, unaware that when he turned away, the angel began to move...
