"How many children are left?"
Charlie shared a look with his grandpa joe, then spoke up.
"Just one, sir."
"Really?! What happened to the others?"
After locking another confused expression with the old man, Charlie forced himself to remember the fates of the other children. Before he could voice them out,

though, Willy Wonka cut him off.
" my dear boy that means you've won!" The man started shaking his hand vigorously.
"Oh I do congratulate you, I really do. I had a hunch, you know, right from the beginning. Now we mustn't dilly or dally, because we have an enormous number of things to do before the days over! But luckily for us, we've got the great glass elevator to speed things a-"

The chocolatier turned so fast he went nose-first onto the transparent elevator door.

"-speed things along."

The three males climbed onto the see-through vehicle and Mr. Wonka pressed an odd button.

"Up and out? What kind of a room is that?"

"You'll see."

Charlie waited and…nothing. The chocolatier frowned and tried a few more times. Nothing. Then he tried another button, this one with a phone Oompa Loompa came to elevator door and did a series of hand gestures, to which Wonka responded with a quite disgusted face.

"Trapped?! But how are these rotten little brats supposed to leave?! And I've been waiting for so long to press that button!"
He turned back to the puzzled visitors.
"What happened, Mr. Wonka?" Charlie's grandpa asked concerned.
"There seems to be a massive thunderstorm going on. I'm afraid we can't leave until it subsides"
"What exactly will we do until then?"
Wonka turned back to the Oompa Loompa.
"Warn the other guests. And prepare the rooms; we'll have extra company for a while. Come on now, my heir, we have so much to arrange!"
He pressed a different button-chocolate room. The elevator zoomed down, and to multiple more directions before suddenly halting beside the chocolate riverbank. Charlie and his grandfather clumsily staggered out, followed by Mr. Wonka.

When they reached the entrance hall, Charlie did a double take.
