Greetings, loyal viewers! It's been a long time to come, but I am back, and fresher than ever! Which is why I've been away for so long. Well, at first it was Christmas vacation, then it was an intense wave of depression, then I had to have a surgery on my mouth. Again. It was brutal and painful. I was awake the whole time as they removed a root the size of a large spike from my gums. Twice (because they missed it twice). And, there was infection in the tissue. Two years worth of infection. I could have died at any time in between, but I didn't. Anyway, I am ready to go back. Which makes me sad to deliver sad news. You see, I have a list of projects on here, and when I finish, I will be retiring. It's been two years since I've been on here, and so you all understand that it will come to an end. Of course, it may be another year before I actually finish. Heh. I will also be doing a collab with missingmontyoum as promised, and I will also be doing a collab with TheIndividualist. That being said, I will no longer be accepting requests, as I do want to finish my projects. Every request asked before now will still be done. Now, may I present "Down the Chute!"

Chapter 1: I Never Planned for This

Brats. They are never going to stop existing. Everyone's been one at some point in life. It's in human nature, but believe me when I tell you this boy named Charlie Bucket is kind of the opposite. I honestly can't believe he would go out of his way to save more than one. Nevertheless, he failed each time. There were four along side Charlie. Augustus, Violet, Veruca and Mike come to mind. They all knew nothing of what was ahead for them.

Augustus Gloop, the German glutton ginger, was rude to Charlie. Taunting someone with what they can't have is cruel thing. I'd say he deserved what he got, but Charlie didn't seem to think so. Wonka stood and watched in amusement as he saw Augustus about to circle the drain. Charlie chose to grab a vine from the apples and swing it over. The problem was, it was nowhere near sturdy enough. It split like wood and Augustus got sucked up the pipe. The Oompa-Loompas were sent to retrieve him from the Fudge Room.

Then there was Violet Beauregarde, the brash, bubbly blonde. She was also rude to Charlie, what with calling him a loser. Yet she met her nasty fate as Charlie and his grandfather tried to warn her not to chew the gum. Her skin, hair, eyes and clothes became a dark blue as she begun to swell up like a blueberry. All the while, Charlie could do nothing but beg Wonka to make it stop. Wonka could do nothing, however, and it was out of his hands until it was finished. She was rolled off to the Juicing Room to be...squeezed.

Now in the nut sorting room, Veruca was meeting an endgame as well. She really shouldn't have reached for a squirrel, but what can you do? Charlie had quite enough of failure. He took it into his own hands now. The squirrels wouldn't attack him as he jumped the gate and ran towards her. "Charlie, wait!" his grandfather cried.

"I can't do nothing, grandpa!" he exclaimed back. "I've done that enough my whole life!" When he made it to her, the squirrels had just let her go. He grabbed her arm as she was about to drop. There he was, her only lifeline at the moment. Keeping her from falling into a deep abyss. Veruca began to slip, so Charlie got hold of her other hand. But he couldn't pull her up. He had no strength to do so. Then he lost his balance, and they both descended into the chute.

"No!" Mike shouted. He jumped over the gate and ran to the hole, but there was no sign of Charlie or Veruca. Grandpa Joe began to panic. His grandson had just fallen down the chute.

Many questions enter my mind as I think: How will Charlie and Veruca survive the long fall? Will Mr. Salt, Mr. Wonka, Mr. Teavee, Grandpa Joe and Mike be able to find them? And what about Augustus and Violet, along with their parents? How will everyone's paths intersect? That is the biggest mystery of them all.

There's your first chapter! Next will be the perspective of Charlie and Veruca. Stay tuned for more!
