A/N: The first nine chapters of this story was written by CiceroGuided. I will update about once every week, but the tenth chapter on will be my work, the first nine will be hers. She couldn't continue this story due to personal reasons, so I'm taking the reins since I felt this story had such potential. For the most part, I haven't touched her writing, just corrected some grammer and spelling. Hopefully by the tenth chapter, I will have finished my half of the story and complete this wonderful tale. Enjoy.

peace, love and lipgloss,

Smell of Peanuts

Gabriella Frost is Charlie Bucket's new friend. But she's a twenty-nine and three quarters year old receptionist at a pediatrician's office. And apparently, she had one run in with the eccentric candy man Willy Wonka years ago. And they both haven't been able to forget about each other since. But while Willy tries to ignore the funny butterflies in his stomach, Ella won't let him. Determined not to let the one man she really ever wanted slip through her fingers, she's and the Bucket Clan are going to launch a full scale plan of attack to show Willy there's sweeter things in life than candy.

Chapter One

Grandma Georgina looked at Willy Wonka and smiled, "You smell like peanuts. I love peanuts."

Willy Wonka smiled back at her, but his eyes told her he was far away. "Thank you. You smell like old people, and soap. I like it."

The old woman gave a cry of delight and hugged Willy just as he zoned out.

Flash Back

A rather tall young man with a purple top hat was pacing back and forth in an alley. He was muttering something about everlasting gob stoppers to himself. Just as he stopped pacing and turned to go through a door, someone crashed into him.

Willy managed to stay up right but the person who crashed into him didn't. After taking a moment to straighten his hat, he went to help them up. It was girl with long braided brown hair.

As he offered a purple gloved hand to the girl she burst out, "You smell like peanuts!"

Willy grabbed her hand and pulled her back on her feet. He lifted an eyebrow as if to say so?

She flushed and played with the huge red bow on the end of her braid. "Sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. It just surprised me that you didn't smell like chocolate." Seeing Willy raise his other eyebrow she blustered, "Well you are a chocolatier and I…well I just assumed that you would smell like chocolate."

"Why were you wondering what I smell like in the first place?"

She started to stammer from nervousness, "Well…I… I wasn't really wondering what you smelt like at all! I just thought that since you love chocolate so much…" she trailed off.

"That I'd smell like my beloved candy?" Willy finished her thought.

She nodded.

Willy humphed. "Well I don't."

"Ella!"

Both Willy and the Girl jumped at the sudden shout.

Ella-otherwise known as 'the Girl'- gave Willy and apologetic smile, "That's my Mum. I've got to go." Turning she walked away.

Willy stood there and watched her go. She paused right before she left the alley and waved to him. Raising his hand hesitantly Willy waved back.

End Flashback

Willy Wonka lay on his bed staring at the ceiling. Full from the delicious meal Mrs. Bucket and served and tired from the day's work he was quite ready to sleep. But his busy brain wouldn't let him. Once again he was wondering about what happened to Ella.

She appeared to be his age, but he had never seen her before that day. And he never saw her again after.

Sighing he snuggled deeper in to his lilac scented sheets and feel asleep.
