Hello everyone! I'm back again with a new story! Granted, this one is much shorter than Down the Chute, but I'm hoping you like it anyway. Keep in mind that I no longer work at a schedule, and have opted to write at my own pace. I won't disappear for months, though, so there's that. Let's begin, shall we?

Chapter 1: Learn to Throw Your Voice! Fool Your Friends! Fun at Parties!

It was 10:05. The tour had only just begun. Mr. Wonka had already met the 5 children who graciously entered his factory. When he got to the end of the hall, he unlocked a small door leading to the Chocolate Room. "Welcome, my dear children, to the Chocolate Room, where everything you see is edible. Don't get overexcited, and don't lose your heads. Just bask in the delight and eat anything you like! Go on and enjoy!"

The children and adults began running around the Chocolate Room, gleefully eating all they could. That is, except for Mr. Wonka, who delighted in seeing the children enjoy his confections. "Ah, I knew it was going to be a delightful morning." That is until he saw Violet calling Charlie a loser, and Veruca whining for an Oompa-Loompa while Mike mocked her. "If only these children would just get along, it would be even better." He walked by the waterfall, and lamented. "People really need to understand each other better. We've become separated by no longer caring about other people. If only we could experience another's shoes, then we could-"

But he was soon interrupted by a loud Violet. "HEY MR. WONKA, WHAT'S THIS?" She was pointing to a tree with bluish-white gummies growing from it. Each one faintly glowed every second.

"Well, lookee here! Someone discovered my Ghost Gummies! Gather around, everyone!"

"What the heck is a Ghost Gummy?" Mike asked with the usual cynicism.

"They are candies that eject your spirit and allow you to fly just like a ghost! The gummy keeps your body preserved and clean, so you can stay out as long as you like! All you have to do is just go back in, and everything goes back to the way it was. Go on, children, try it!" He handed each child a piece and they all chewed it. Within seconds, their spirits jumped out and began flying!

"Wow!" Violet spoke with a booming voice. "THIS. IS. AMAZING!"

Veruca didn't seem to like it so much. "How come everyone has a ghostly tail but me? I want a tail, too!"

Augustus said nothing, while Charlie enjoyed himself. "Grandpa, this is fantastic, you should try it!"

Meanwhile, Mike was flying around in random directions, yelling, "HOW DO YOU STEER THIS FREAKING THING?" He bumped into Violet, who bumped into Charlie, who bumped into Veruca, who bumped into Augustus and almost fell on a shrub.

"People stay calm! Avoid touching each other, because your spirits will bounce off each other and go out of control!" Already too late to say that, as the children started flying erroneously. "Children, please, be careful-" One of the spirits crashed into him, and another spirit came out the other way. The rest of the spirits jumped into the bodies below.

"Is everybody alright?" Grandpa Joe asked.

Charlie spoke, but it didn't come from him. "I feel fine, but not like myself." He saw Violet scream, but it didn't come from her body either. Charlie and Violet looked at each other, before looking down. Charlie was wearing a blue tracksuit, and had blonde hair. Violet had brown hair and wore a sweater and brown pants. Both of them had switched bodies! "I'm...I'm...you," they both said at the same time.

Suddenly, Veruca laughed. "What's so funny about that, Veruca?" Violet inquired. "I'm in the body of a poor boy!"

Mike's body jumped up, put his hands on his hips and said, "What are you talking about? I'm Veruca, you idiot!" Veruca looked down and screamed when she realized Mike had switched bodies with her.

Augustus then walked over and spoke with Wonka's voice. "We have a serious problem on our hands."

Yay! Everything's gone horribly awry already! I hope you enjoy this story. Take care, everyone!
