Chapter 7: In the Winner Circle
"Now, I must give you all important information. Hold on a second." Mr. Wonka grabs a few cue cards and reads them. "Dear guests, it has been long enough for your waiting. Your patience will now be rewarded, as I am to announce the special prize. The winner of this prize is a great person, a real definition of honor. The person is going to receive the special prize. I have finally chosen the winner, and the winner is Insert Name Here!"
"Wait, what?" Mike asked.
"Oops. I forgot the cue card still said that. The winner I have chosen is Charlie Bucket!"
I opened my eyes in amazement. I won the prize! Just a poor boy who hates cabbages? I never thought I'd see the day.
"Congratulations, my friend!" Mike said.
"You did it, Charlie!" Violet said while slapping me because she spasmed again.
"Well done, Charles," Veruca praised.
"mmmph!" Augustus mumbled.
"So what is the prize?" I asked.
"Well, the prize is the factory. You see, my semi-annual haircut (I always loved that line) revealed to me I was getting older. I knew I had to find someone to look after the factory after I leave this earth someday. I knew I had to find an heir, and I chose you. So Charlie, are you ready to leave the life of cabbage-hating and cynicism and live in the factory along with your family?"
I looked at Mike and Violet. It was my cynicism that gave me their friendship. If I leave that, I won't ever be their- Wait what am I saying? This isn't some fairytale! This shite is real life! I'm my own person!
"Mr. Wonka, I can't change my intense hatred of cabbage and my cynical lifestyle. But I'll live in the factory, though."
"It's a deal," He said while smiling.
From that day onward, things turned from droll and pathetic to amazing. A few days after, we fixed the others. It took a few hours of chiseling (with a blowtorch), but Augustus was finally broken out of that chocolate-statue-state. Violet's fixing was rather fun. We found her body parts scattered around, so we de-juiced them all (restoring them all back completely). We sewed them all up and then sewed her head to the body. Aside from being covered in stitches, she looked the same way she came into the factory. Veruca's was tough, but we fixed her, too. We gave her a candy that regrows skin, repairing her face back. It was difficult because the candy needed tweaking. It kept making people look like Donald Trump, and you how scary that thought is. Mike couldn't be fixed, so he had to stay that way. Eventually, the feeling in his nerves comes and goes, so it's half-fixed? I see the others visit every now and then, so things are great. To think, this all started from hating cabbages, huh?
That's the finale! I will be on a break, so here's an announcement! If you notice, the first letter in each chapter title spells out "JUMANJI." That is because next story is a story about Charlie finding the Jumanji game and playing it with Violet, Mike and Veruca! To make things better, it will be premiering on Halloween! Stay tuned for that, and as always, have a nice day!
