Don't sue me please, I'm just a sick person who needs help.

Little Willy Wonka noticed something was wrong with his father. Very wrong. Just not normal.

Wilbur Wonka had started growing out his hair and beard, it had gotten very long and very straight. Instead of his usual white dentist's uniform he'd taken to wearing elaborate white robes. He was growing his nails out. What's more, is he'd given up dentistry.

Now that would have been fine with Willy, he didn't like dentistry one bit. The problem was now his father was doing very strange things. He was locking himself up in his office and reading strange musty books. He kept mention someone named "Gandalf" and something about these things called "Hobbits". He had come home one evening with a strange glassy ball that he wouldn't let Willy even look at.

Willy's father was very strange now. Before he was against smoking, because tobacco discolored the teeth, but now he smoked from a pipe.

"Father," Willy piped up one day at breakfast.

"Why aren't you a dentist anymore?"

"Because Willy, dentists have no power." Dr. Wonka said with a wolfish smile.

"I want power."

"Well, what are you now?" Willy asked.

"I am a wizard" his father said coldly.

"Oh." Willy said softly.

"I don't think mummy would like that,"

"Your mother is dead now! It matters not what she thinks. I will become powerful beyond imagination! I will be Saruman of Many Colors!" His father erupted rising and making the room seem dark and scary.

Little Willy Wonka soiled himself.

A few days later, when Willy came home from school, he found his father sitting with a bearded man in gray with a pointy hat.

"My boy, I'd like you to meet Gandalf the Gray. He is a wizard like me." he said.

They were smoking pipes and looking like weird old codgers.

"Father" Willy said,

"As nice as it is to meet your friend, I must ask one question"

"Yes?" Dr Wonka, now to be called Saruman replied.

"Why is there a great black tower sticking out of the roof?" Willy asked, not liking at all his father's new hobby.

"I have remodeled the house. We shall now call it Orthanc." Saruman Wonka said.

"But I liked calling it Mabel." Willy said in a small voice.

There was a silence between Saruman and Gandalf. They stared at Willy and then finally Saruman Wonka said:

"Go to bed boy. How dare you embarrass me in front of my wizard comapanion!"

Willy went to bed, hoping his father's strange hobby would pass quickly just like when his father was into model trains and UFO spotting.
