The Beginning

It was early Friday morning during the summer for the Wonka family. Wilma, the mom, Winston, the dad, and Wendy, the daughter. Wendy, who was 3 at this time, was always the first one up. She always went to her parent's room to wake them up.

When she went into her parent's room, their skin was very pale. She went up to her father, and said cheerfully, "Daddy, it's time to get up!" Normally he would grunt and groan and role around, but not this time. He just lay there. She kept on trying, and finally gave up.

With a little hope, she went over to her mother and tried the same thing, but the same thing happened.

She stood at the end of their bed a thought about what she should do.

She suddenly remembered that her Uncle Willy was stopping by today.

Willy Wonka was a chocolateer. He lived in the biggest chocolate factory in the world and made the greatest candies. Her Uncle Willy has recently closed his factory, and was planning to stay for a little while to see if his brother, Winston, can cheer him up.

Wendy's parents don't treat her like they should. They lock her up in her room all day. They let her out at night. She didn't eat much. Wendy's parents often drank, and often got drunk, but hear again, she was never around to see them. When Wendy's parents left somewhere, they got a baby-sitter to watch over her. They baby-sitters name was Jenny. All she did was sit on the couch and smoke cigarettes. She paid no attention to Wendy.

Wendy heard the downstairs front door open and close. She got very excited a ran down the stairs to greet her Uncle Willy. Once she saw her Uncle Willy she jumped right into his arms.

"Good Morning Starshine!" Wendy tried to say. Willy laughed. "That's my line! But hey, you already stole it from me."

"Ha ha." Wendy giggled.

"Alright," he said putting her down. "Where's mom and dad?"

Wendy pointed up the stairs. "Up there, in bed."

"Why are they still in bed?"

Wendy shrugged, "I dunno, I tried my best, Uncle Willy, to wake them up, but they wouldn't."

Willy started to go up the stairs, "I'll be right back."

Meanwhile, Wendy got herself a bowl of cereal and ate it on the floor.

Wendy herd her uncle Willy say, "Oh, jeez…. 911? I have, uh, just found my brother and sister in-law not breathing in bed." A pause. "Thanks, bye."

Wendy did not under stand a single word he said, (after all they where all big words to her.) Willy came down the stairs and walked over to Wendy. "C'mon Wendy, lets go to your playroom."

"Ok," Wendy put her spoon down and fallowed her uncle Willy down the hallway.

Once they got to the door, Willy led her in and shut the door. Through the door, Willy said, "I'll be right back okay?"

"Yup." Wendy said. Then she began playing with her toys.

After a while Wendy started to hear sirens. The sirens quickly came a gone. All was quiet until Wendy heard the sound of footsteps coming down the hallway. She quickly got up and pounded on the door. "Mom? Dad? Uncle Willy? I want to come out!"

The door opened slowly and the great chocolateer stepped in. "Wendy," he sat on the floor. "You are going to come live with me at the factory."

He eyes widened, "Really? B-but why?"

"Mom and Dad had an accident."

"They wet their bed?"

"No-no, I'll let you know when you get older." He stood up. "Now lets go pack you bags, now, shall we?"

A grin spread across Wendy's Face, "Okay."
