It was 8am in the morning when the past Golden Ticket winners arrived, just like how they did 8 years prior. It was their first day working at the factory after being offered by Mr Wonka and Charlie, who saw potential in them. The now adults stood in line, staring at the factory, all deciding to ignore each and to grudgingly get their jobs done.

Violet, who had returned back to her original colour, looked over to Veruca and snickered. Veruca wasn't wearing any kind of fancy clothes that she had previously own. Instead she wore blue jeans and a white top, with a pair of white Converse Sneakers and what looked to be an old, second hand black coat that seemed to have costed not much money. Violet wondered what had happened to what she once considered a "rich bitch", now that she didn't look so snobby and rich anymore. Violet turned back and smiled that her former rival was now suffering, considering that Violet became even more successful in competitions with her newfound flexibility. However, her mother soon realised how much she was pushing her and made her stop competing in most competitions. Violets mother at first, viewed her as a freak because of her former blueness and super flexibility and disowned her for a while. But after Violet dealt with a little bullying she became very protective of her and finally cared about her daughter's well being.

Mike on the other hand, was too busy calculating his exact revenge on Wonka. Mike eventually returned back to a normal height, but he still endured months of pain and physical therapy, and was still very tall compared to the average height. Standing next to him was Augustus, who still loved chocolate but now to a much less extent, had become very athletic after his venture in the chocolate river. After being stuck in the pipe, he vowed himself to never be stuck in the same situation again. He worked out everyday, ate more healthier and eventually became very fit and wanted to run his own healthy diet program before he was offered this job. He knew he didn't have the money to start his business but knew he had to start out somewhere.

The four adults walked into the lobby and were greeted by none other than Charlie himself. He told them that these jobs were a trial, to test if they were loyal to the company and that his suspicions where right. He proceeded to tell them that he saw potential in them after hearing what they had been doing in the past 8 years. Not one of the four talked. He led them to a room that lead to a staircase, and once they climbed the stairs found themselves in what appeared to be an office. They took a look around and saw Willy Wonka peering out from his own office.

"Welcome childr-" Wonka exclaimed but cut himself off, seeing that they were no longer children. The others prayed there would be no "entertaining puppet show like performance" again.

He reached his hand out but quickly pulled back seeing the angry looks given by them. Wonka asked Charlie to show them around as he awkwardly left the room. Charlie showed them around the room. There was a lunch room in the back and a bathroom as well, it felt like a typical office room. Veruca thought this was weird because Wonka was known for being extravagant, maybe he did this because he wanted no accidents again.

Charlie then showed each to their desks and repeated to them of what their jobs were. Mike was in charge of helping to invent and build the machines, helping to apply physics so that they would actually work, and he also helped order parts for them as well. Augustus was hired to help order ingredients for the factory. He had to handle what was safe and what wasn't, and what the healthier alternates were. He eventually would taste test the products once they were finalised. Violet was put in charge of merchandising and sales, because of her competitive nature, she would want to get the best sales and would be very straight forward in selling products to other buyers. Veruca was chosen to help with any business and money purposes. She also helped Violet with sales, which ultimately made the two having their desks next to each other. Veruca immediately complained about this because of her rivalry with Violet, but Charlie told her that it was best because their jobs went hand in hand.

The two girls sat down and tried to ignore each other for the rest of the day. Charlie felt this intensity and walked over to the girls to apologise. Violet just ignored him and went back to working but Veruca told him it was fine. Charlie, clearly seeing it wasn't fine asked her again.

"I told you, its fine" She said sharply

"It doesn't seem like that." He replied. She ignored him, but he wanted to get through to her. He tried to think of what to say next but his mind was blank. But for some reason he changed the subject.

"So how have you both been?" Charlie muttered. He was confused as to why he said that, and by the look on their faces, they were as well.

"I've been okay…" Veruca replied whilst Violet ignored him and focused on not getting distracted and getting her work done.

Charlie then asked "Well what have you been doing all these years, it seems to be that you're the only one we couldn't keep a track on."

She glared at him, where they trying to spy on her? Charlie quickly responded, by saying that he wanted to know if everyone was alright after their experience at the tour, not to intrude on them.

"Well I've been… busy."

Charlie sighed, he then decided to reason with her. "Listen, if you want, I can try to move you away to another desk."

Violet scoffed at this and went back to doing her work.

"You can?" Veruca replied in disbelief, not making eye contact and focusing on her work.

"Well its not that hard, we will just have to find another desk. Besides I co-own this place so I can do it with no issues"

She smiled but quickly refrained herself. He went to return to his desk before she called him back.

"I just- I just wanted to apologise about how I was when I was 11. I'm sorry that I was such a bitch." she said head facing down.

"Well its okay. I forgive you. If you're apologising then it seems to me that you have changed a lot- for the better I mean" he replied, he then told her that she was the only one to have apologised to him, and that he believed in giving people second chances.

She soon returned back to her work, but it made her smile for the rest of the day. A genuine smile that no one had ever seen. To her, Charlie seemed to be the only person who had forgiven her and she wanted to make an effort to prove that she deserved that second chance. Not just for him, but for herself as well.

Charlie couldn't help but notice this and wanted to talk to her more, so he scheduled their lunch break to be together. Even though Charlie loved working at the factory, he felt lonely at times. Mr Wonka was like a brother to him, but he wanted a friend who was his own age. He felt as if he could finally have that with Veruca, now that she had apologised and seemed to want to make up for what she had done in the past, and he wanted to talk to her more. He told her when her breaks would be and asked that if she wanted, she could sit and have lunch with him. She accepted his offer and they went to the break room together.
