I do not own Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I only own Sparrow McMillian.
Story Start
The next afternoon, I went to the factory to meet up with Willy. I had already dropped by the Bucket house during lunch to see if Willy and I could come over for dinner. When I arrived at the factory, Willy surprised me by saying that he and Charlie had went to see his father together. He told me all about his day with Charlie as we walked towards the little boy's home.
When we reached the front door of the home, Willy grabbed my hand and looked at me nervously. "What if they won't forgive me?" he asked looking at me with worry in his eyes.
"Willy, deep breath, it will be fine. Just put a smile on your face and be yourself," I said and knocked on the door.
We stood outside for only a minute after I knocked. We could hear different things and people moving around the room before Charlie opened the front door for us. He had a big grin on his face when he saw us together holding hands.
"Mr. Wonka, Ms. McMillian," Charlie said excitedly and welcomed us into the home.
We entered the house to see everyone in the home either smiling or watching Willy warily. I gave Willy's hand a squeeze when he saw the wary looks.
"Hey Charlie, Mr. and Mrs. Bucket," I said and also said hello to all of the grandparents. "Thank you for inviting us to dinner," I said and saw many of the people smile at me. I looked over at Willy.
"Thank you and um I'm sorry for the other day," Willy said and the family seemed to relax more around him.
"Mr. Wonka, Ms. McMillian please sit here," Joe Bucket said as he pulled out two chairs for us.
"Thank you," I said and smiled when Willy pushed my chair in for me after I sat down, and then he sat by me. Charlie and his parents were sitting across from us.
I enjoyed the meal and a little chit chat with the family while Willy apologized and asked the family if they would like to move into the factory. He talked about how their home could be put in the chocolate room. I was surprised but happy that everything was going so well.
"So how long have you two been together?" one of the grandmothers asked.
I tried not to choke on my drink and I looked at the family, who were grinning or looking at Willy and me curiously. I jumped when I felt Willy grab my hand and he was shyly looking at me.
"Not long," Willy answered with a happy grin. "But I hope we um are together for a long time," he continued and I felt a big blush heat my cheeks.
"So cute," Mrs. Bucket said as she put down her utensils.
"So when can we move in?" Charlie asked which broke the awkward atmosphere.
"As soon as possible," Willy said with a big smile.
"How about this weekend since I'll be off work?" Mr. Bucket suggested.
"Perfect, I'll start getting things ready at the factory," Willy said and I could tell he was already planning things in his mind. "Oh this is going to be so much fun," he said and he looked at me with a big grin.
The dinner was nice and Willy and I walked to my house together. He gave me a hug once we arrived at my front door.
"I'm so happy they forgave me and they're going to live in the factory. Charlie and I are going to make such wonderful candy. Oh I cannot wait, thank you so much for going with me," he said. His eyes expressed so much joy.
"You're welcome. I'm happy that everything is working out," I said and leaned up to give him a kiss on the cheek. "Good night," I said softly.
"Night," Willy stumbled over his words for a second. Before I could go in my house, Willy grabbed my hand and made me look back at him. He shyly moved forward and kissed my cheek.
We gave each other a smile before I went inside. I locked the door behind me and the smile on my face wouldn't disappear.
The next few days, Willy and I spent more time together as we helped the Buckets move into the factory. Willy was also starting to change during that time. He was becoming more open and even more affectionate. Charlie was loving living at the factory with his family and he was coming up with great candy ideas.
Before I knew it two months had passed and our relationship was even stronger. Tonight was another night that I shared dinner with Willy and the Bucket family. I sat by Willy who leaned over and kissed my cheek.
The dinner was going great like it usually did, but I could tell something was a little off with Willy. When I was helping Mrs. Bucket clean the table, Willy grabbed my hand so I would stop and give him my attention.
"Sparrow, I know we have only been dating for a few months, but I really feel strong feelings for you. I was wondering if you would move into the factory with me?" he asked and I could see how nervous he was.
"I'd love to," I said and laughed when he picked me up and spun me in the air before hugging me close to him.
The Bucket family smiled and cheered until Willy kissed me on the lips in front of him. When he did that, they all laughed or cheered even louder. Willy pulled away and chuckled at the blush on my face.
Willy walked me home that night and gave me another kiss. "I can't wait for our next adventure," I thought as I wished him good night and looked forward to moving into the factory. I never expected any of this to happen when I met Willy Wonka, but I was happier than I had ever been.
The End.
