A/N: Sorta kinda of a sequel to both Cherry and the Chocolate Factory and An Evening with Mr. Boddy. Read the Clue story first if you haven't already, but this is a bit of a crossover sequel for both. AnnaleaseTurner and I only own our OC's, everybody else belongs to their respective owners. This is so exciting! :) Read & Review!
One of the Oompa Loompas came out to greet Katie and Cherry, smiling at them and allowing them inside and to follow him. Cherry looked around seeing that not all that much had changed since they last came to the factory, though back then, just as guests and nothing more much like the Gloops, Beauregards, Salts, and TeeVees.
They were the lucky ones though. Katie looked around. She was happy to be back. Cherry was finishing off the lollipop as they walked in together with the Loompa as their guide. Willy had his hat off as he was sprucing up the place just a little bit for the comfort of his one true love. Katie hummed a little as they walked.
Willy saw the girls coming. "Ah, Katie, my dear, so good to see you again!" He instinctively went to her, then remembered the cast. "Oh, who's the rotten scoundrel who did this to you? I oughta fight him for laying his hands on my fair lady!"
Katie instantly hugged him. She could allow herself to show a little weakness around her beloved.
"I was so worried..." Willy whispered gently, hugging her tight, but not too tight.
"I'm sorry, Willy." she says softly.
"Oh, dear, you've done nothing," Willy gently stroked her face. "If I could've been there, that man would definitely not had gotten away with it."
Katie sniffled slightly, but showed her message she got on the cast.
Willy saw it and was both angry and sad for her. "Stealing from me and threatening you!"
Cherry was dully texting on her phone since no one was paying attention to her. Katie flinched of the shouting.
"Oh, sorry, it's a habit, I'm trying to quit, sticky filth..." Willy smiled gently to his love. "Why don't you have a seat, hmm?"
"Nature calls first..." Katie blushes.
"Of course, you do remember where it is, right?" Willy smiled at her.
Katie nodded softly. She kissed his cheek and then went off to the bathroom. Willy and Cherry decided to catch up while Katie was away. Katie went to the bathroom to do her business, and came out drying her hands. She looked more relieved now.
"Cherry, after lunch, would you be a dear and mail this envelope for me?" Willy handed her the sealed envelope.
Cherry took it with a shrug. "Okay."
Katie looked up at the massive contract, smiling in reminiscence.
"I just want to ensure people they'll be fine as long as they follow rules and if they don't, there are consequences." Willy said as he looked with her.
Katie was having a daydream.
Willy put an arm around her. "Cherry, what's that?"
"My new phone..." Cherry showed her new phone which was an iPhone.
Katie blinked, coming back to the present. "Oh, hello." she blinks.
"Hello, my dear." Willy greeted back with a light chuckle.
Katie blushed.
"I never saw a phone look like that." Willy looked back at the iPhone.
Cherry continued to slide her finger on the phone in order to operate it.
"Why don't you ask Nee-bear to show you how to use one?" Katie suggests.
"Would you mind, Cherry?" Willy asked.
Cherry looked up. "I'll try my best."
Katie smiled happily and let him see what to do. Cherry took out her phone for him to see and Willy leaned in vast interest, he never saw a phone like this before and it doesn't come with a cord? How fascinating. Katie giggled and held her casted arm up to her chest a little. She took a few calming breaths. One of the Oompa Loompa's came up, seeing Katie's arm and looked to her as if to ask if she was alright.
Katie smiled down at him. "Yes, I'm okay, just aching a little." she says softly.
The Loompa gave a small smile, feeling relaxed now that she was fine.
"What does this button do?" Willy asked, pushing one which made an alert sound, that horrified him. "Oh, no!"
Cherry laughed a little as she took the phone back to stop it. "Relax, you just activated the 'alarm' ringtone."
Katie looked over then giggled. She smiled at the Oompa Loompa. The Oompa Loompa hugged Katie a little, he was also very happy to see her.
Katie leaned down slightly and hugged him back. "You're a cute thing." she smiles.
The Loompa smiled, putting his gloved hands on his cheeks. Cherry looked over and smiled, she knew how much Katie couldn't wait to grow up and get married to have kids of her own and knew she would be a natural with her personal instincts. Katie giggled. She loved the Oompa Loompas... they were adorable. She straightened his dungarees for him, smiling again.
Cherry took her picture and showed Willy. "This is called a 'selfie'."
Willy blinked, very taken aback. "And you didn't need to get a camera for that? You can do it on the phone too!?"
"Uh-huh..." Cherry grinned with a nod.
Katie looked over and giggled. Willy was funny. She looked down at the oompa loompa. "Tell the others that their work is always appreciated, and so is your work." she tells him.
The Oompa Loompa gave a nod, he then decided to get back to some private business.
Katie smiled. She started to come over to her friend and her soon-to-be fiance.
"So, what's for lunch?" Cherry asked.
"Well, you know, I'd give you candy, but I don't want to give you a bunch of cavities to anger your parents and dentist, but I had accidentally made these vitamins," Willy took one out as a sample. "Here, try it."
Cherry took it and put it in her mouth to chew it up and had a look of approval. "Wow, my favorite turkey sandwich!"
Katie smiled. She started to come over to her friend and her soon-to-be fiance.
"I still find your device fascinating." Willy said as he held the phone himself, getting a closer look at it. "Goodness, how do you make calls on this thing with no keypad?"
Katie smiled as she watched him.
Cherry looked over to Katie. "I thought the technology lessons for me would be over by now... Maestro gave me this phone."
Katie smiled. "How is Maestro?" She asks.
"The same," Cherry laughed. "He said he has a surprise for me when I graduate college."
"I bet he wants to marry you." Katie half-jokes.
"Ugh, that'd be disgusting, he's like, a jillion years old." Cherry snorted.
Katie looked at her friend. "Age is irrelevant." she says, crossing her arms. The crossing of her arms was more playful.
"I'm pretty sure he's not my type." Cherry said as she put her phone in her pockets.
"Who is this 'Maestro'?" Willy wondered.
"Maestro Forte, French court composer extraordinaire..." Katie explains to her fiance.
"And a total creeper..." Cherry deadpanned.
"I know that man, I thought he would be dead by now, oh, no offense..." Willy sounded familiar.
"He probably gets that a lot." Cherry knew how unusual it would sound.
Katie looked at Willy, then Cherry, and back. She shook her head amused, but in disbelief too.
"You know him?" Cherry wondered.
"Yes, a long time ago when I was younger, I was trying to run away from home." Willy explained.
Katie looked in awe. She felt something bad would happen but she didn't know when or what though.
"I loved candy, more than anything, but my father was a dentist," Willy explained. "Whenever I would go trick-or-treating, he would throw my candy in the fireplace, but the first candy I really got to eat was some chocolate my mother would have and I fell in love with the taste. I told my father that I wanted to make candy of my own, but he disapproved, so I ran away one night and I got terribly lost... That was when I met Maestro Forte and he had helped me, I was bent on giving up and he told me to never give up. He let me stay with him a little while until I was old enough to go on my own and became my new father for a short time and I became the candy man everyone knew me as."
"Wow..." Katie says softly.
"It was rough, but despite his gloominess, that man made me who I am today." Willy smiled.
"He never told me that..." Cherry blinked.
Katie reached out for to hug her fiance. Willy saw this and came to her to give her a hug. One of the Oompa Loompa's dressed like a chef came out to have them come to lunch now.
Cherry smiled as she put her phone away for sure now as they were going to eat. "I'm starved!"
Katie hugged him and then grinned.
"Let's get our lunch on, shall we?" Willy smiled at the girls, leading them.
Cherry kept the envelope, remembering her little job Willy assigned to her for after they would eat. Katie glanced outside before they went off for lunch. There was visibly someone outside the factory gates, but he or she did not move at all. Katie stiffened. She wondered if she should tell or go and see herself.
"Come on, Kat!" Cherry called as she was in the dining hall with Willy with the array of food which had a lot of Katie's favorites.
Katie turned then headed to follow.
