Chapter 1: Drinkable Candy
Willy Wonka sighed happily. So far, he was having a terrific day. Mrs. Bucket had made Waffles (one of Willy's all time favorites) for breakfast; Charlie had played hide and seek with him in the Chocolate Room (even Chocolatiers need to have a little fun once in awhile!); "Miss Hair-puller" (otherwise known as Charlie's ten-month-old baby sister, Jenny) had actually been nice to him (in otherwords, she hadn't pulled his hair, punched his nose, or anything else of that sort) and he thought he might be finally close to a break-through on the three course dinner gum. The best thing of all, however, was that Johnny (Charlie's ten-month-old baby brother), had spoken his first word, which was: "Illy!"
Yes, thought Willy, the day had been perfect. At the moment, the Chocolatier was working on his latest Invention, a drinkable candy for babies. It had bothered him that candy is too dangerous for babies to eat. If only there was a way they could eat candy…Then he had it! If he made a liquid candy, babies could drink it and not run the risk of choking!
Unfortunately, creating such a candy was not proving to be an easy task! "Oh, hornswagglers, snozwangers, and whangdoodles!" he cried out in frustration. Several Oompa Loompas turned around and gave him weird looks. "Uh…let's boogie!" Willy said, giggling nervously. The Oompa Loompas just shrugged and went back to their work.
Willy ended up working straight through lunch. Finally, just before suppertime, he thought he was satisfied with the drinkable candy. Since he was worried that any potential side effects might be a bit too much for the Oompa Loompas, he decided to (gasp!) test it himself! "Well, down the hatch!" he exclaimed. Then, he opened his mouth wide and poured in some of the candy. Crossing his fingers, he swallowed.
"Not bad, not b--" Willy began, but, suddenly, he stopped. Suddenly, his legs gave out and he fell to the floor. For a few minutes, Willy thought that he was going to throw up. Thankfully, however, the feeling past.
Although he no longer felt nauseous, Willy still felt rather strange. For one thing, he swore that he had just shrunk several feet! In fact, he was positive he was now even shorter than the Oompa Loompas! When he tried to walk, he found that he couldn't even stand up! His legs just didn't seem to want to work. For some strange reason, Willy suddenly had a strong desire for warm milk. And why did he suddenly feel like sucking his thumb?
Willy felt very scared and confused. He ran his tongue over his gums, wanting to make sure his perfect teeth were still there. To the Chocolatier's absolute horror, he was now toothless! His hair still seemed to be the same, but his top hat was now a bit too big for him. What was happening to him? He opened his mouth to scream. Instead, to his utter dismay, he let out a loud, "WAAAAAAAAAH!"
A/n: Well, I hope you enjoyed this first chapter! I know it's a bit short, and I apologize. I promise to make the next one longer! Oh, and about Willy Wonka playing hide and seek. I don't know why, but, for some reason, it just seems that he would like somewhat childish games! As usual, please review!
