4. Chew, chew, is that all you do?!
Charlottes P.O.V
Dad lead us down the grassy hill, we stopped in front of the chocolate river as the pink boat pulled up. The oompa loompa's laughed at us.
"What are they laughing at?" sneered mike.
"It's the cocoa beans, it gives them the feeling of being in love" I explained smiling at Charlie. He smiled back.
Willy's P.O.V
That's the second time I've seen my charlotte smile at that Charlie kid. I don't understand it, first no nicknames and now this!
We sat at the back of the boat with Charlie and his grandfather, charlotte took the ladle and dipped it over the side of the boat.
"Try it!" she said handing it to Charlie.
"It's great" he exclaimed.
'it's the waterfall" she said "no other chocolate factory in the world mixes its chocolate by"-
"You already said that" snapped verruca.
I glared at her "I just realized how short you all are."
"Well yeah, we're children" violet said.
"That's no excuse" I said "I was never as short as you. Know why? Because I remember putting a hat on top of my head. And one day charlotte will wear one too."
"Charlie" said charlotte "do you think I'd look good in a top hat."
"I think you look great in anything" he said.
That's when I started to space out into a flashback:
"Okay! Bedtime!" I said coming into charlottes bedroom.
"No!" yelled a three year old charlotte.
"Yes" I said.
"No!"
"Yes!"
"But I'm not even tired" she said.
"Then why are you rubbing your eyes?" I asked her.
She took her hand away from her face slowly.
"Come on, in bed" I said.
She made a run for the door, only to be greeted by three oompa loompa's. She sighed defeated and crawled into her bed.
"Sweet dreams" I said kissing her forehead.
"Daddy?" she said.
"Yeah?" I said.
"When will I get my own hat?" she asked.
"When you're old enough" I replied.
"Okay" she said "goodnight."
~end of flash back~
"Dad, were headed for the tunnel" I heard charlotte say.
"Oh yeah, full speed ahead!" I called up to the oompa loompa's
"How can they see where they're going?" asked voilet.
"They can't" I said.
"that's why it' so fun!" said charlotte putting her arms up and screaming like she was on a roller coaster.
Charlottes P.O.V
We were in the inventing room and I was trying to make sure nobody touched anything, when violet asked my dad "hey Mr. Wonka, what's this?"
Dad and I walked over to the tank, dad held up the candy ball and said "these are everlasting gobstoppers. They're for kids that get little allowance money, they were charlottes idea."
"You can suck on them all year long and they wouldn't get any smaller" I added.
"It's like gum" said violet.
"Uh no" I said giving her an 'are you stupid' look "and can you please stop taking about gum for five seconds."
Dad and the others had already moved on, I went to follow them, but violet grabbed my shoulder.
"Look, I'm the world record holder in gum chewing" she told me "so, don't push me around!"
"Daddy!" I called making my voice sound like a three year olds.
"Yes my little- I mean charlotte" he said rushing over.
"Violet's being"- I started but she cut me off.
"My new best friend!" said violet, smiling and chewing her gum at the same time.
My dad cringed at her. "Okay, glad to hear it."
We came to one of our newest machines and dad said "watch this" and pulled a lever. And out popped a stick of gum.
"That's it?" asked mike.
"Do you even know what the heck it is?" I asked him.
"Its gum" said violet- of course.
"Oh, so wrong" I said to her.
"This is the most amazing and unique piece of gum that there ever was." said dad.
"Know why? Know why?" I asked excited "because it's a three course dinner all by itself!"
"Why would anyone want that?" asked Mr. Salt.
"Uh, why would anybody not want it?!" I asked giving him a duh look "its tomato soup, roast beef and blueberry pie!"
"It sounds great" said Charlie's grandpa.
"It sounds weird" said veruca.
"Sounds like my kind of gum" said violet, she took out her old gum and stuck it behind her ear.
I wrinkled my nose "okay that's disgusting and this is an experiment, which means no eating yet!"
She gave me a look and put the gum in her mouth.
I rolled my eyes at her, don't say I didn't warn you I thought.
"How is it, honey?" asked Ms. Beauregard.
"It's amazing!" said violet "tomato soup I can feel it running down my throat!"
"Yeah" said dad "spit it out."
"Young lady, I think you should"- Charlie's grandpa said.
"It's changing!" she said cutting him off "roast beef with baked potatoes! Crispy skin and butter!"
"Spit. It. Out." I said.
"No! Wait!" she said "blueberry pie and ice cream!"
"Oh no!" I said putting my head in my hands.
"What's happening to her nose?" asked veruca.
"It's turning blue!" exclaimed Mr. Salt.
"Your whole nose has gone purple" violet's mother said "what's happening!?"
"Well, I told you I haven't got it quite right" explained dad "because it goes a little funny at the dessert part. It's the blueberry pie that does it. I'm terribly sorry."
"Well, we warned ya" I shrugged.
Dad picked me up and we hid behind one of the machines and laughed.
"Mother, what's happening to me?" I heard violets panicked voice say.
I giggled even more.
Dad snuck up behind violet's mom and said "I've tried it on twenty different oomp loompa's and every one of them ended up as a blueberry. It's just weird!"
"But I can't have a blueberry as a daughter!" said Ms. Beauregard "how is she supposed to compete?"
"You could put her in a county fair" said veruca.
"Wow" I said to veruca "you know what a county fair is? I thought you were too rich."
Just then the oompa loompa's stared another musical number, which dad and I danced to, then we noticed Ms. Beauregard staring at us.
An oompa loompa came up to us and I said "we want you to take violet to the juicing room right away, please."
"The juicing room? What will they do to her there?" asked her mom.
"Get all the juice out of her" said dad "like a pimple."
Her mom ran off and as they went to close the door to the juicing room, I gave violet an evil smile and waved.
