Chapter 1: Clerk Chaos
Author's Note: Hey, everyone! I hope that you'll enjoy this story that I created! It was influenced by me getting a box of real-life Everlasting Gobstoppers for Easter. I wondered, "If Mr. Wonka came here, what would he think about them?"
Also, Matt, funny story. The first Everlasting Gobstopper I got out of the box was red. I thought, "Wasn't that the color of Mindy's Everlasting Gobstopper?" I picked out another one, and got green, which was sour apple. "Hey, that was one of the flavors in the X-tra Sour Gobstopper, wasn't it?" The third one that picked was yellow-lemon-flavored,the same thing that Mindy Bell turned into from the X-tra Sour Gobstopper. XD
(Credits: I do NOT own Walgreens.)
Now, everyone, enjoy this oneshot! :D
Mr. Wonka and Charlie Bucket opened their eyes, and they found themselves laying on a small patch of grass next to a parking lot.
"W-where are we?" asked Charlie Bucket, getting up, extremely surprised.
"I-I don't know," remarked Mr. Wonka. "A-all I remember was seeing a blue and purple circle in front of me, then everything went dark."
"Hey, look over there!" pointed Charlie Bucket. "What's that?"
Charlie was seen pointing to a tan and white building with red letters that said: "WALGREENS."
"That entire building is false advertising," Mr. Wonka said, pretending to be cross. "It's not green, and I don't even see any walls close to it at all, hahahaha!" he laughed, extremely childish and high-pitched.
"It says on it that it's supposed to be a pharmacy," Charlie Bucket said, "but it looks like they sell much more."
He pointed to a woman coming out of the Walgreens, carrying groceries with her little boy following behind her.
"Let's go see what this Wallter Greens place is all about!" Mr. Wonka giggled.
Mr. Wonka and Charlie Bucket entered the Walgreens and looked around. They saw tons of displays and greeting cards and plush toys and medicine bottles, and even food, like the groceries that the lady had with her son. Suddenly, one certain shelf caught the duo's eyes-especially Mr. Willy Wonka's.
"Hello, sir, is there anything that I can do to assist you?" asked the clerk.
He picked up a box labelled: "WONKA EVERLASTING GOBSTOPPERS."
"What is this?" said Mr. Wonka in a stern voice.
"This company...could Walgreens work for Fickelgruber?" said Charlie. "Or Prodnose? Or even Slugworth?"
"Okay, buddy, I have no clue what you're talking about," responded the clerk to Charlie Bucket.
"You mean, you have no idea that this company is making candy under my name and making low-quality knock-offs of them?" said Mr. Wonka firmly.
He looked back at the shelf, and picked up a box labelled, "WONKA CHEWY SWEETARTS" and "WONKA NERDS."
"How do you explain...this?!" Mr. Wonka exclaimed, shoving the candy packages into the clerk's face.
Despite Mr. Wonka's harsh nature, the clerk remained rather calm.
"I can assure you...and your…" the clerk paused.
"Heir," Mr. Wonka added.
"Horse hair or whatever...that...we sell legit candy from real companies," the clerk said. "If you have a problem with that, I'd suggest that you talk to my manager."
"MANAGER!" Mr. Wonka shouted suddenly, causing Charlie Bucket to jump about a foot in the air. "HEY, CLERK'S MANAGER! WE NEED YOU HERE, RIGHT NOW!"
Charlie Bucket tugged on his mentor's arm.
"Huh?" asked Mr. Wonka.
"Mr. Wonka, even though we don't know where we are, we're still in a public place, and you're being rude. Quite rude, in fact."
Mr. Wonka looked around and chuckled nervously as he saw people glaring at the two of them from absolutely everywhere.
"Hehe, sorry," Mr. Wonka chuckled nervously.
The manager never came.
"EXPLAIN IT!" Mr. Wonka shouted. "THIS PHONY COMPANY IS TAKING CREDIT FOR MY CANDIES!"
He began taking the candy bags and boxes off of the shelves and throwing them into the air.
"DOWN WITH FICKELGRUBER!" Mr. Wonka screamed. "DOWN WITH PRODNOSE! DOWN WITH SLUGWORTH!"
He began ripping the bags open, and tearing them open as Charlie and everyone in the Walgreens watched in horror.
"Mr. Wonka, no!" shouted Charlie Bucket, running towards his mentor, who was now out of breath.
Suddenly, Mr. Wonka ran towards Charlie and pushed him out of the way. He ran towards the sales clerk, who was behind the desk, and tackled him to the ground!
"You're behind all of this!" Mr. Wonka screamed in the clerk's face as they wrestled on the ground. "You must be one of those despicable spies who everyday tried to steal my life's work and sell it to those parasitic copy-cat candy-making cads! I don't know how you did it, but you obviously did!"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" the clerk cried desperately.
"Oh, yes you do!" Mr. Wonka shouted. "And you know what?! I bet that you're nasty Elmer Slugworth in disguise!"
He began to pull at the clerk's face as he screamed in pain.
"Mr. Wonka!" shouted Charlie Bucket, running towards him and the clerk. "You're acting like a savage! Stop this right now!"
"SECURITY!" shouted the clerk in extreme pain.
A bunch of police officers ran toward Mr. Wonka and Charlie as the clerk wobbled back on his feet and rubbed his left eye, which was now black.
"TAKE THIS CRAZED EBENEZER SCROOGE-LOOKING GUY AND HIS HORSE HAIR OUT OF HERE!" he shouted, wobbling on his feet.
"It's heir!" Mr. Wonka shouted as he was grabbed by a bunch of security officers. "With an e, not an a!"
"Whatever," murmured the clerk.
"Hey buddy," said one of the security officers in a gruff voice, "Before you go assaulting an innocent sales clerk about some stupid candy, I suggest you should reconsider your life choices."
They stomped back inside, but not before one of the security officers tossed a destroyed Everlasting Gobstoppers box behind his back, and it landed right in front of Mr. Wonka.
