The sight of four old running across the fields brings back memories. I bet those parents never dreamed the day when their mums and dads would jump out of that bed. Though a chance to meet the president himself would most likely do it.

" , why do you look so sad?" Charlie asked.

"I'm not sad Charlie. My mouth is simply not working right," I said cheerfully.

Charlie took my word. He went back to his family, who were very excited. But to tell you the truth, I was both sad and terrified. I'm wearing a bit thin.

"Let's go! The helicopter will be here any minute!" Grandpa Joe shouted. I smiled as the family ran outside. Tonight I will tell Charlie all my secrets. How to run the factory, who the workers really are, and who I really am.

It's night now. I have told him everything. He took it quite well, but I had a feeling he would. That child understands me more then most of my friends ever did, except my wife. At times, she knew me more than I did. She is gone now, but I'll see her soon.

"Mr. Wonka!"

A female Oompa-Loompa ran up to me.

"Mr. Wonka, are you really leaving?" she said crying.

"Yes child, I believe it's my time," I said quietly.

"But sir, you could have taken some Wonka-Vite. Then you would be-"

"I have cheated death many times before, I believe it's time for me let him win," I replied.

She looked at me, tears streaming down her face. That's when it struck me.

"How did you know?" I asked.

"She told me. She told me so many thing about herself, even how to travel," she said, pointing to the Glass Elevator.

"Is that so," I said " Then will you teach Charlie how to use her after I'm gone?"

She nodded in agreement. I stepped inside, and removed the disguise. Soon, the TARDIS came back in full glory.

"You know what to do, girl."

Outside, the young Oompa-Loompa gasped as she saw the machine disappeared, just as the elders told her. Seconds later, it came back. She tiptoed inside, and saw that no one was in there. She collapsed and started to cry again.

20 years later…

"Charlie, where are you going," Joe asked. He was once again, confined to his bed, as old age made him weak.

"Just to the village, Grandpa," Charlie replied. He was far from the skinny lad he used to be. As he walked through the village, a female Loompa joined him. She was carrying a flower. When they reached the outskirts of the village, they found four gravestones. George, Georgina, and Josephine had already past on. But the other gravestone was the one Charlie was visiting today.

"We finally met up after all these years," he began, "They all changed because of you. Augustus pretty much became a bodybuilder. Violet is known as the world's best dentist. Mike is an author now! The only one who really didn't change was Veruca. She badmouths you. But she doesn't know you. The TARDIS told me everything: the daleks, cybermen, and every adventure you went on. I guess the only thing I don't know is your real name. But that doesn't matter. You're still one of my best friends. I hope, wherever you are now, that you know that. When Grandpa Joe finally get there, please make sure he doesn't get in trouble."

Charlie got up, dusting the dirt of his pants, he wipes a tear from his face. The Oompa-Loompa places the flower near the stone and walks away with Charlie.

If you look at the gravestone, you will see the name Willy Wonka. But if you look closely, you will see something written in a language that few can understand. When translated, it says:

Good-bye, Doctor
