The Six Golden Tickets

Chapter 12: The Plan

One the way to Scarlett's house, Willy had the oompa loopma stop by a store in Scarlett's area. When they got to her area, the oompa loompa pushed a button, for the Wonka Craft to go invisible. This was a recently new feature, because of what had happened at six flags. Once it was invisible, the oompa loompa landed in a hidden area, then it was driven like a car. They drove to a store, like Willy wanted. Willy got out quickly, went into the store. He had bought, a triple layered chocolate cake and he quickly left.

They have now arrived at Scarlett's house. It was afternoon here, because of the time difference. The car stopped in front of the house and he got out.

Violet was there, she looked out the window and saw this, then she shouted "Mother, I think Mr. Wonka is here."

Scarlett's eyes lit up in surprise. She was sitting on the couch in the living room where the door was. She got up quick and ran to the window to look. She saw Willy walking up to the door, she turned to her daughter Violet and said "Violet, why don't you go to your room and practice for that karate tournament coming up next week."

Violet did as she said and went to her room.

Scarlett opened the door before Willy could knock. Willy was standing at the door looking at her, while holding the cake he had bought. Scarlett had a big smile on her face and said "Why hello, Willy. What a pleasant surprise."

Willy turned his head in disgust quick, puffing his cheeks to fake a gag. He then turned to look at her again with a forced smile on his face and he nervously said "Y-Yeah, nice to see you too."

Scarlett's eyes lit up again and stood there gawking at him. She then finally invited him in, after a few minutes.

Willy walked in, with a smirk on his face and said "Oh!" He then handed her the box, with the cake in it and said " Here, I bought this cake for you. As A peace offering. Heh."

Scarlett smiled and took the box saying "Why thank you, Willy. Let's go to the kitchen and I'll put on some coffee."

Willy put his head down, shuttered at the sound of coffee, then he looked up at her and asked "Got milk?"

Scarlett looked at him with a smirk on her face and said in a seductive way "I have what ever you want."

She then turned to lead him to the kitchen. He followed, with a disgusted look on his face, while her back was turned. Then he blurted out "Oh good."

In the kitchen, Scarlett had set the cake box down on the table. She got out some plates and forks. When she was getting them something to drink, Willy sat down, while sitting down, he put his hand in his pocket and turned on the tape recorder.

This tape recorder was a Wonka Recorder. It could run for hours and never end. You wouldn't have to change the tape in it. It can run by it's self too, with no batteries, you didn't even have to charge it. It was like a ever lasting recorder, that was self powered and it could capture crystal clear sound, it could even capture a whisper, clearly.

Scarlett turned around with the plates and forks in her hands. She set them on the table. Willy quickly took his hand out of his pocket when she turned around. She glanced at him and asked "So, what brings you here?"

Willy shrugged his shoulders, looked at her and said "Oh, I wanted to apologize to you. I did not mean for you to fall down the garbage chute. I wanted to thank you too. For pushing Dawn down the chute. I thought maybe we could be friends and get to know each other. " Then he pointed to the cake box. "So I got that cake as a peace offering."

Scarlett looked at him confused, she thought for sure he liked Dawn. She thought now maybe he didn't and liked her instead. So she smiled at him and carefully asked "What ever do you mean, by me pushing Dawn down the chute?"

Willy forced a fake warm smile on his face, this was very hard for him to do and he said "Well, you did, didn't you? Charlie told me what you said to her too in the lobby. I thought it was clever. I wanted to hear all about it and thank you for it, she sure was annoying."

Scarlett, being a bit gullible, was buying it and asked "Really?"

Willy looked at the table with his eye brows raised, he nodded his head and said "Oh-yeah. I was hoping you would win. I'm terribly sorry Stardust had pushed you down the chute. I don't know what came over him. Heh."

Scarlett couldn't believe this. She sat down at the table. This was like music to her ears. So she said "Oh, that's alright, you're welcome."

Willy, now looked at her with a fake smile and said "So, you did do something? Tell me all about it. I would love to hear it. Great minds think alike. Eh-heh."

Well, when he said that. She bought it, hook line and sinker. She smiled at him with a seductive look on her face and said "That's right. I told her you hated us. That you pushed us down the chute, to disqualify us. She had no idea that it was me who pushed her."

Willy's smile went to a faint smirk, with his eye brows raised and he asked "Oh really? So you lied to her?"

Scarlett nodded her head yes, while smiling and she said "That's right. I lied to her. I told her you hated us from the start, that you pushed us down and that it was all just a game to you."

Willy turned his head with a irritated look on his face. He was mad, but his plan worked. He then forced a big smile on his face to look at her, acting excited and said "Eh-heh-WOW. That sure was brilliant."

Scarlett smiled at him, with a creepy smile and said "Yes it was. I had to get rid of her some how. She was a interference with me getting to you…." She then covered her mouth and said "Ops."

Willy puffed his cheeks out when she said that, like he was going to puke, he couldn't take it no more. He stood up and said in a nervous tone of voice "I think I should be going."

Scarlett stood up too and grabbed him by the arm saying "Oh no. Don't go. I just cant help it that your so attractive."

Willy freaked out when she grabbed his arm, he gave her a dirty look and said "Uh-Ew! Let go! I'm sorry to burst your bubble. But you just don't stand a chance!" Then he puffed his cheeks again, looked at her, like he outsmarted her and he said" I believe, I got what I came here for."

Scarlett let go of him and looked at him confused. Willy then picked up the cake in his hand, up to the side of his head and said "See where lying get's you." He slanted the cake in his hand and smashed the cake in Scarlett's face. He puffed out his cheeks giggling and then laughed with a crazy laugh "Eh-heh-heh-heh-heh". She looked at him with an angry look on her face, while she whipped the chocolate frosting off her eyes. He saw this and ran for the door. When he ran for the door. Scarlett chased after him. Willy slammed the door behind him quick. Scarlett had run into the door, fell down and passed out.

Once Willy was outside, he booked to the Wonka Craft and got in quick. The craft flew up and took off.

Willy shook his head in disgust and sighed in relief, that she didn't get him. After getting a hold of him self, he reached in his pocket, for the tape recorder. He edited it a bit, then put it back in his pocket. He then pushed a button in the Wonka Craft, a carpet privacy panel between the back of the car and the driver seats had rolled down. Once the panel was down, he told the oompa loompa, who was steering "I need you to head to Dawn's apartment now, Kay? It's in Manhattan, New York, Kay?"

The oompa loompa nodded. Then Willy nodded too with a proud smirk on his face. He pushed the button again, for the carpet panel to go back up, so he could have privacy.

On the way there. He quickly, in the back of the car, He grabbed the bag he had taken with him and changed his cloths. He put the bugs bunny T-shirt on, shorts, six flags sun glasses, base ball cap on with his hair pushed up under it and his sneakers. Once he was dressed, he took the tape recorder out of his coat pocket and put it in a deep pocket he had on his shorts that zippered. He then set his other cloths into the bag, including his gloves, hat and cane.

They have quickly arrived in Manhattan, New York. The oompa loompa had disguised the Wonka Craft again, landed the craft in an alleyway and drove it out. Then he pushed the button to take the invisibility off.

They have finally arrived at Dawn's apartment complex. When the car came to a complete stop outside the complex, Willy got out. Willy was clever, he looked at the mail boxes inside the main lobby of the building, until he found Dawn's. When he found hers he headed for her door.

When he got to her door he knocked. But no one answered. So he knocked again. Someone finally came to the door, but it was not Dawn. Dawn's friend Becky was there. She was there to feed Dawn's cat for her while she was at work. Becky looked at him funny and said "Can I help you?"

Willy gasped when someone else answered the door. Then he thought maybe this was a relative of hers. So he smiled and asked "Is Dawn home?"

Becky stood there looking at him funny and asked "No, who are you?"

Willy's smile went to a straight face and he said "I'm a friend of hers." Then he smiled at her and asked "Could you tell me where she is ?"

Becky looked at him funny again, she shrugged her shoulders and said "She's at work."

Willy now was disappointed, then he asked "Where?"

Becky looked at him, like he was odd and asked "Why should I tell you?"

Willy rolled his eyes, he sighed and said "Uh, well. Because you should. Heh."

Becky, raised her eye brows up at him, she went to close the door and said "Get lost pal."

Willy's eyes lit up, he shook his head, stopped the door and said "Wait!"

Becky stopped, looked at him funny and asked "What?"

Willy then thought for a moment, then he sighed and said "Well, You should tell me. Because I'm Willy Wonka. I would like to speak to Dawn." Then he closed his eyes and asked " Now could you please tell me where she is?"

Becky stood there looking at him like he was nuts and said "Yeah right. Prove it."

Willy said "Oh! Okay then." He reached in his pocket and pulled out his wallet with a ID card he had always carried on him, then showed her and said "See , I'm Willy Wonka." Once she took it to look at it. He took it from her quick and asked "Now, where is she?"

Becky, well after seeing that her attitude changed completely. She let him in and said "Oh wow. I'm so sorry. Come on in."

Willy walked in, thinking good. When he walked in, he looked around Dawns apartment. Becky watched him and said "Hold on a sec." Willy nodded and continued to look. He could see Dawn was an artist. She had her art work framed and hanging up on her wall in the apartment. Willy was amazed with her work.

While he was still looking, Becky came over to him and tapped him on the shoulder. He got a little startled, he turned around to look at her, she handed him a business card and said "Here, this is the art studio she works at. It's called Alder Art Industry. This card has the address on it and everything." Then she looked at him curious and asked " May I ask why you are looking for her?"

Willy took the card, stuck it in his pocket, he happily smiled and said "MmnNo! But thanks!"

Willy then turned to walk out the door, he walked out of the building, got into the Wonka Craft and left.

They were now heading for the address on the business card. They have quickly arrived and parked outside the building. Willy got out of the craft, once it was parked and he walked into the building. He came to a large desk with a secretary sitting at it and before the secretary could speak to him, he said "I'd like to speak with Miss. Dawn Marsh please."

The secretary glanced up at him, then looked back at her computer and said "Have a seat."

Willy looked around, he saw some chairs up against the wall near the desk. So he went over to them and sat down impatiently waited. A few minutes have passed and the secretary called him over "Sir."

Willy got up and walked over in excitement, thinking he was about to see Dawn. The secretary at the desk said "I'm sorry, but Miss. Marsh has the day off today."

Willy's gasped and his smile sank. He looked at the secretary confused and said "Oh, I see…." Then he put his head down to think and asked ".Do you happen to know where she is?"

The secretary glanced at him, she shook her head and said "No. Sorry sir. Try tomorrow."

He nodded his head with a confused look on his face and said "Oh…Okay then." After he had said that, he turned around and left. He got in the craft, rolled the carpet panel down and told the oompa loompa " She's not there." Then he sighed, shrugged his shoulders and said "Well, I am a bit hungry. So lets stop at a restaurant before we go home." Willy just thought that they would try again tomorrow, like the secretary had said to do.

The oompa loompa nodded and did. He drove around until Willy saw a restraint that caught his eye and said "Oh stop!" They stopped at a restaurant called Revolution.

Willy went into the restaurant and was seated in a booth. He sat down, he looked around and picked up the menu to look at it. While reading the menu, he heard a familiar voice at his table that said "Hello Sir. My name is Dawn. I will be your waitress for today. May I start you off with a cold beverage?"

She couldn't see him because of the menu being in his face and he said trying to disguise his voice" I've got a question."

She looked at this man holding up the menu and asked "What's that?"

Willy glanced at the menu quick, to find something to ask about. Then he saw a desert and asked " This fudge over board, is it made with Wonka chocolate?"

Dawn shook her head, not thinking anything of it and said "No sorry sir. It's made with Hershey."

Willy sighed and said disguising his voice again "Oh, that's to bad. I really like Wonka chocolate."

Dawn nodded to agree, with a smirk on her face and said "Yeah, me too. But who doesn't?"

Willy raised his eye brows up, with the menu still hiding his face and said "That Wonka sure is a genius. "

Dawn, was now looking at him with suspicion, she thought this was odd so she said "Yeah. I just met him the other day you know."

Willy still kept the menu up in front of his face and asked "Oh really? What was he like?"

Dawn was looking at him funny and said "Uh-huh. I would give anything to see that amazing factory again. He is a pure genius."

Willy still had the menu up. Dawn peaked over the top of menu and she knew right off the bat who he was. He didn't know she was peaking. She recognized his face, even with his hair up under the cap and six flags glasses on. His face structure and pale skin was hard for her to forget.

Willy looked up above the menu to peak, but seen her face there and he jumped back a little startled. Dawn giggled, shook her head and asked "What are you doing here?"

Willy finally put the menu down, looked at her funny and asked " Hey! How do you know who I am?"

She closed her eyes, giggled again and said "Nice disguise. But how can I forget your face. Hair up or not."

Willy looked at her with a smirk on his face from what she just said. Then Willy told her "I want to show you something."

Dawn looked at him confused and asked "You came all this way, just to show me something?"

Willy shook his head up and down while saying "Uh-huh." He then reached in his pocket and pulled out the small tape recorder.

Dawn looked at it in his hand and then looked at him confused. Willy looked at it too, then back up at her and he said to her 'Sit down."

Dawn looked around to make sure her boss, or no other co-workers were watching, then she sat down asking "What's that?"

Willy slid the tape recorder across the table to her and said "Listen to it! This will prove I did not push you down the chute. No-way!"

Dawn sighed, she looked at him with a straight face and said "You know Mr. Wonka I'm sorry for acting the way I did. I was confused. I didn't know who to believe."

Willy warmly smiled at her, then he looked at the tape recorder and said "Listen to it."

Dawn looked at the recorder. Picked it up still looking at it. She inspected it and asked "What is it?"

Willy smiled, he reached over, pushed the play button on it and said "It's a Wonka Recorder. Now listen."

Dawn sat there silent, put the recorder to her ear and did as he said. While listing her eyes lit up in shock. She stopped the recorder, looked at him like she was really sorry and said "Oh wow. I wasn't sure who was telling the truth, until now. Now I feel worse for accusing you. Oh my.." She was lost for words.

Willy warmly smiled at her again and said "Oh stop. It's okay."

Dawn looked at him still embarrassed and asked "Why on earth did you come all this way to show me this?"

Willy shrugged his shoulders, shifted his head slightly to the side and said "To prove to you that I didn't do it." Then he smiled at her and said "Because, I would like to friends with you." He then thought for a moment and looked at her with a confused look on his face and asked "Hey! Why are you working here and not at the art studio?"

Dawn blushed at him and asked "Really? You want to be friends with me?" Willy nodded his head yes when she asked this. Then she continued to say "Oh. This is my second job. I gotta make a living."

Willy looked at her with pity and said "Wow… Have you got it rough."

Dawn nodded a little embarrassed again, she looked at him with a straight face and said "Yeah. I know."

Willy thought for a moment in silence. At this moment a waitress had spotted Dawn sitting down on the job, talking with a customer. The waitress got their boss Ricky.

Ricky was a scruffy looking man, he had black hair that was frizzy. He had bushy eye brows, brown eyes, he was short and pudgy. He walked over to them and shouted "Dawn! Get back to work!"

Willy glanced at Ricky. Ricky was now standing near the table they were at, with his arms folded. Willy turned his head the opposite way, with a disgusted look on his face and said "Ew.."

Dawn stood up quick, nodded her head and said "Yes, Sir."

Ricky nodded at her, turned to look at Willy, then snapped "You! Don't come in here bothering my waitresses again."

Willy stood up. Gave Ricky a dirty look and rudely said "Oh. Well. I'm sorry, but Dawn quits."

Dawn's eyes lit up in shock and she shook her head no while looking at Ricky. She was wondering why in the heck he was trying to get her fired.

Willy glanced at her and shook his head yes. Ricky got in Willy's face and said "Look bum, get out of here. Who are you to tell me she quits!"

Willy shook his head walked over next to Dawn. Then he looked at Ricky with a dirty look and said "Uh, for your information. Dawn quits. You have no idea who you are talking to. So if I were you, I would stop while I was ahead. Kay? Oh, by the way, you should really try one of my new products. It's called Fizzy Pop Mints. It would help clear your awful breath." Then Willy waved his hand in front of his nose.

Ricky looked at Willy in outrage. Dawn stood there in shock. Willy grabbed Dawn by the arm gently and pulled her along with him outside the restaurant. On their way out, Ricky watched them head for the door and shouted "Good get out of here! Dawn! Your fired!"

When they were out side, on the side walk Dawn was still in shock from what just happened, so she asked him nicely " What did you do that for?"

Willy turned his head to smile at her and said "All in good time."

Dawn looked at him confused and said "Oookay."

Willy led her over to the Wonka Craft. Opened the door and told her "Get in."

Dawn looked at him confused still, but did what he said and got in. She sat in the back row of seats and Willy sat next to her. Willy looked at the oompa loompa and said "Drive around a bit. Kay?" The oompa loompa nodded and did. Willy then pushed the button for the carpet privacy panel to close.

Once the panel closed. Willy turned to face Dawn and asked "So, Where do you want to go?"

Dawn turned her head to look at him, she was still confused and asked "What do you mean?"

Willy warmly smiled at her and asked "Uh-Well, Are you hungry? Do you want to catch a movie? You know, I wanna do something friends would go do to have fun. So we can get to know each other."

Dawn's face lit up, she was still in sock, she smiled a little from being a little shy and said "Oh, I don't know."

Willy smiled back at her and said "It's okay. If we pass something that catches your eye, just say stop. That's if I don't beat you to it."

Dawn giggled and shook her head, she said in a shy way but to be playful "Oh no you wont."

Willy was enjoying this and he said "Uh-huh. Will too."

Dawn shook her head at him again and said " Will not."

They both looked at each other and giggled. Willy then thought he would tell her why he just got her fired and said "Oh! When I was looking for you. I stopped at your apparent. Some women, let me in. I seen some of your art work."

Dawn looked at him funny, because he just told her that her friend just let him in like that. That's how he made it sound anyways, then she blushed and asked "Oh, really? What did you think of my drawings?"

Willy turned his head slightly and said "I like them." Then he smiled at her and asked " I was wondering, can you do computer art too?"

Dawn shook her head yes, she looked at him confused and answered "Uh-huh, Yeah I can. Why?"

Willy then took a deep breath and said "The reason I got you fired back there. Is because I was wondering, if you would like to come live at my factory and work for me. I want you to re-design my website I have set up for company's to order candy from. Oh, and I want you to design new candy labels for me."

Dawn's eyes lit up in surprise. She was very excited and asked "Are you serious?"

Willy shook his head yes, with a serious look on his face and said "Oh-yeah. I'm very serious."

Dawn smiled, gave him a hug, out of excitement and said "Oh my god! Yes I would love to come work for you! Thank you Mr. Wonka, you wont regret it!"

Willy did not jump when she hugged him. She did not make him freak out and she did not make him feel startled. He really liked it. She did this out of excitement and to thank him. Dawn let him go quick then said "Oh sorry."

Willy had a half dazed smirk on his face and said "Uh-huh."

Dawn then smiled at him said "I know where I want to go."

Willy looked at her, wondering where she wanted to go, so he asked "Where?"

Dawn looked down at her cloths and said "I want to go home.'

Willy took this wrong. He didn't know why she wanted to go home. He looked at her confused and asked in a low tone of voice "Why?"

Dawn giggled, lifted up her restaurant apron and said "I need to change my cloths, silly. That's if you still want to hang out. I cant be dressed in my work cloths."

Willy turned his head away from her and sighed in relief. He understood what she meant. So he smiled at her and said "Oh!"

He then reached for the button for the privacy panel, to roll it down. He told the oompa loompa "Head for Dawn's house, Kay?"

The oompa loompa nodded yes, Willy nodded back and rolled the panel back up.
