Chapter 10: Time Changes

(A/N: Ta da! Here's a surprise. In honor of the holiday season and which I'm pretty late, here is the next chapter in the story! Total improvisation. Because I never even had it planned in the beginning. I'm trying, okay?! It will turn out just fine! That's what editing is for. Don't even worry about it, man. Haha. Alright, here you go, and enjoy!)

Time kept going, yes, as usual, and nothing held Wonka back from his business. Sarah, however, had been recovering, but her own depression sunk her down. "What is there to do now?" She thought, "All my life was wasted." She huffed, and got up from her bed. She turned her head to see her mother talking to the doctor outside the door. She could hear them talking. Which went something like this;

The doctor said, "She's in stable conditions, she would've left a while ago if it wasn't for...A few mishaps."

Her mother sighed, "Alright. Fine. She'll be out by tonight."

"Well, we need her out as soon as possible. Thank you for your patronage."

"Yeah, yeah." She nodded, faked a smile, and went back to Sarah.

Sarah looked at her mother, "What am I gonna do...?"

"You can stay with me until you get a job, and get back on your feet." She smiled, encouraging her daughter.

Sarah rubbed her head, "No. No, thank you mother, but I'll have to say no. I'll...Go somewhere else."

"What do you mean?" She tilted her head.

(Time skip)

"Where are you? It's been 30 minutes!" Sarah said to her mother.

"I'm sorry, sweetie, I got a little lost finding the place. I'm here now, with your stuff." Her mother entered the building to Sarah's apartment.

"Thank you so much. I don't think I could've done this myself. Moving into a new place, and all..."

"Anything for you. I just hope you get settled in just fine. Oh, and did you get back to getting your new job?"

"Oh, about that. Right after I called you about coming down here, I got notified, that...I got the job!"

"Oh, I'm so happy for you!" Her and her mother both shared a hug.

"You're looking at the new retailer at the downtown mall!" Sarah squealed with joy.

"That is wonderful! You're getting back on your feet already. Oh, sweetie, you'll be just fine now."

"Thank you again, mom. I'm so lucky to have you."

"Now, let's get you settled in, yeah?"

They both got to work and got Sarah's stuff into her apartment.

(Another Time Skip)

Sarah's life began anew. Her job wasn't anything like she thought, but she did enjoy it. She's had her share of jobs now, and each one gives her something to remember. And one day when she thought life would stay the same, something odd happened...

"Mommy, mommy! Look!" A little girl called to her mother, inside the shop Sarah works.

"Not now, sweetie." The mother said, looking through a pile of clothes.

"Please! People keep talking about the Candy Man! Moommmyyy!" She pulled on her mother's shirt.

Sarah tried to shrug off the fact that the child said "Candy Man", but when she saw the crowd of people swarming the newspapers, she grew intrigued. She over heard some people talk about it, and she left the store right after she heard.

"Can you believe it? After all these years, this is happening!"

"I know, Wonka is a genius. Everyone is already going crazy!"

The people kept talking. I'm sure everyone tried to buy a bar of Wonka's candy that day. Well, everyone but Sarah. When she got home, she turned on her TV, seeing that it was actually true. The TV Reporter stood at the gates of Wonka's factory and said, "Five golden tickets have been hidden underneath the ordinary wrapping paper of five ordinary Wonka bars. The bars may be anywhere in any shop, in any street, in any town, in any country in the world."

After that, she shut her TV off, and for a couple hours, she sat there in thought. "Why, why is he doing this?" She thought, "I don't understand. All this time...He...I know what to do..." She laughed to herself. "A golden ticket is just the thing I need to see my Willy again."

(A/N: Sorry if this is short! It's literally almost 2015 for me. And it's already been a year since I joined this site. Well. Happy New Year and whatever! Bye!)
