"I don't know why I didn't think of this before, the elevator is by far the most efficent way to get around the factory." Mr Wonka said pressing a button on the wall.
"There can't be this many floors" Mike Tevee said.
"Oh and what do you know smarty pants?" Mr Wonka askd, "besides this elevator dosn't just go up and down it gos longways, slantways and any other ways you can think of."
"I sense a dirty joke" Mariella muttered under her breath but Wonka must have heard because he giggled.
Wonka pressd a button and the elevator rushd off, Mariella instantly wished she'd worn trainers as her high heels gav her very little balance and she fell backwards and forwards until Wonka grabbd her round the waist, she blushed, but didn't complain he was comfier than the wall. He smelled of candy.
Wonka's POV
They flew past fudge mountain where it snowed icing sugar and then into a strange room where they were shaving candyfloss sheep.
Wonka suddenly looked embarassed "ah i'd rather not talk about this one"
Mariella smirked "I don't want to know" she said.
He felt a warm feeling in the pit of his stomach, Mariella Salt, yes despite appearences he did know her first name, was very pretty and despite sharing an upbringing with Veruca she was far nicer than her sister and brave she had been prepared to run into a mass a psycho squirrels to save her sister.
He held her to stop her falling everywhre but he couldn't deny he enjoyed it. Holding her felt right.
He also knew he shouldn't be thinking like that sh was twenty years younger than him and would she be interested in him anyway, she was pretty and she was rich. Wonka was rich too but the point was she could probably have any man she wanted.
They past through the puppet hospital and burn centre and through the administration offices.
They passed through the candy fire works and Wonka's heart leapt when Mariella smiled in delight. However he was dissapointed when she pulled away from him to look through the glass better.
Mariella's POVMike Tevee had to ruin Mariella's enjoyment of the fireworks. "Why is everything here completely pointless?" he asked.
"Candy doesn't have to have a point that's why it's candy."
Mariella clapped her hands "hear hear".
Mr Wonka went weird again, Mariella decided to leave him alone seeing as he normally snapped out of it after a few minutes.
Mike Tevee snapped him out of it by saying "I wanna pick a room."
"Go ahead" Wonka said smiling evilly, Mariella was reminded of what had happened to her sister and the other children and shuddered. She was unsurprised when Mike chose the television room.
When the lift stopped with a jerk Mariella fell and found herself lying ontop of Mr Wonka.
She blushed "well your more comfortable than the floor. I'm sorry though, are you alright?"
"Fine" Mr Wonka said. "Just dandy".
"Will you two stop flirting." Mike asked annoyed.
Mariella quickly got up. "I was not flirting" she argued, "I fell over because I happen to have a stupid taste in shoes."
Wonka opend to door and handed out white glasss, "put these on quickly or the light from the tv room will fry your eyes out."
Wonka started talking about sending chocolate through television.
But Mike interrupted explaining why it was impossible, Mariella didn't care what Mike said, Mr Wonka clearly knew what he was talking about.
Mr Wonka clearly got fed up because he shouted "MUMBLER seriously I cannot understand a single word your saying. Bring in the choclate."
A group of Oompa Loompas came in carrying a large bar of chocolate.
"It has to be so big because on a television things looks so much smaller." He pressed a big red button and the chocolate bar was sent through the machine.
"It's gone" Charlie said amazed.
"That chocolate is now whizzing above our heads in millions of tiny particles" Wonka explained.
Wonka rushed them all over to the television. Where the chocolate appeared.
"Reach out and grab in" Wonka said to Mike.
"It's just a picture on a screen" Mike argued.
"Scaredy cat" said Wonka and then turning to Charlie "you take it."
Charlie did so.
"Holy buckets" Old Mr Bucket said.
"Eat it" Wonka said to Charlie.
Mariella smiled as the half starved little boy ate the chocolate. Charlie really deserved to win.
Wonka launchd into a speach about how he'd advrtise chocolate.
Mr Tevee wanted to know if you could sent breakfast ceral but Mr Wonka clearly wasn't impressed.
"What about people?" Mike asked.
"Why would I want to send a person, they don't taste very good at all."
Mike started yelling at Mr Wonka.
"Calm down Mike I think Mr Wonka knows what he's talking about." Mr Tevee told his son.
"No he doesn't you think he's a genius but he's an idiot but I'm not".
Mike pushed Mariella out of the way and she fell over again as Mike ran towards the machine.
"I'm starting to see a pattern here." Mariella muttered as Wonka helped her up.
Mike pressed the button and leapt into the machine despite Mr Wonka's warnings.
He dissapeared, Mr Wonka quite calmly went to chck the telvision, "I only hope none of the pieces got lost."
"What do you mean?" Mr Tevee asked worridley.
"Well sometimes only half the pieces found their way through, if you had to chose only half of you son which half would it be?"
"What kind of question is that?" demanded Mr Tevee.
"Just a question" Wonka said. Then he ordered an Oompa Loompa to change the channel.
Somehow all the tv charactrs were Oompa Loompas and they were singing.
The most important thing we've learned,
The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set
Or better still, just don't install
The idiotic thing at all.
Never Ever Let Them
Never Ever Let Them
Ooh Ooh
Never Ever Let Them
It rots the senses in the mind!
It kills Imagination dead!
It clogs and clutters up the mind!
It makes a child so dull and blind!
So Dull So Dull !
He can no Longer understand
A fairytale and a fairyland!
A Fairyland a Fairyland!
His brain becomes as soft as cheese!
His powers of thinking rust and freeze!
He cannot think he only sees!
He only Sees
He only Sees
Regarding little Mike Teavee,
We very much regret that we
Shall simply have to wait and see
If we can get him back his height.
But if we can't it serves him right.
"Ew somebody grab him" Wonka said.
Mr Tevee did so. Mike fitted in the palm of his hand.
"Thank heavens he's completely unharmed" Wonka said.
"Put me back in the other way" Mike said in a very squeaky voice.
"There is no other way it's a teleVISION not a telePHONE."
"Well what do you propose to do about it?" Mr Tevee asked.
"Well young men are extrmely springy they stretch right back" then almost enthusiastically he said "lets go put him in the taffy puller."
"Taffy puller?" Mr Tevee asked.
"Hey that was my idea." Mariella smiled slightly at this.
Mr Wonka ordered an Oompa Loompa to take Mr Tevee and Mike to the taffy puller.
"On with the tour" Mr Wonka said.
