How exactly is he going to deal with this, and how will he find an heir that lives up to his expectations? One can only find out!

14. Jokes Aside

Response Time: To TheIndividualist, Thank you for the compliment :) To cheesecake4life, nobody will be eliminated in this one, but who do you think will be next? And yes, I did. I love Shovel Knight so much. I've beaten all of the campaigns, too. To Sonny April, credit goes to my cousin for helping to inspire me for Agatha's character. On the subject of the song, there is a little more to it than you think, though. The song I used for inspiration is from "Scooby Doo on Zombie Island," called "It's Terror Time Again." Look it up and try to use the lyrics in place. To mattTheWriter072, beware, for the hall of confusion will give you...confusion! Also, consult my response to Sonny April, as part of it pertains to yourself as well. To JOHNHAMMOND, at least make a guess before the next chapter. You might get it right. To Tristan, I get your criticism. It was a long chapter, though. Alright, next!

Warning: Really Cheesy Jokes Ahead

Chapter 14: Jokes Aside

Down the hall, they spotted several doors. Mr. Wonka said, "Ah, I love this hallway! This is called Square Candies that Look Round!" He pointed to a door where there were square candies that had eyes. He pointed to another door that said Square Candies. "And this is the door for people who don't get the joke." The same square candies were inside.

In the next hallway, there was a door that said, "Fizzy Soda." Inside was a purple cow, and it was making said soda. Charlie said, "We'd rather not talk about this one."

Rowan blatantly stated, "I hate cows."

Ella got a little too close, and Jacob said, "Hey, you're getting in that cow's territory! Back up!"

Ella shouted back, "Shut up, you goth maniac!" She startled the cow, and it sprayed her in the face. She scrunched her face in disgust, "Yuck! I hate grape soda!"

Mr. Wonka rebutted, "Hey! People like grapes!"

In the next set of rooms, Mr. Wonka said, "All these rooms happen to be under lock and key." The children looked up, where the banner said, "Lock and Key." Everyone gave him a look that said, "Seriously?" Mr. Wonka then said, "It also says gullible on the ceiling." They all looked up, where it actually did say "gullible" on the ceiling.

Henry stated while rolling his eyes, "You can do so much better than that."

Charlie led them to the Hall of Pies. All of the doors were related to pies, such as Moon Pies, Blueberry Pies, Stars in our Pies, Snozzberry Pies, and Cow Pies. "What is a Snozzberry?" Dana asked while nodding.

"It's a-" Charlie said.

Mr. Wonka covered Charlie's mouth. "Not in front of the children!" Everyone stared at him for a second. "Come along."

Inside the next hallway, Mr. Wonka pointed to a door that had bubbling liquid all over. The Oompa-Loompas inside were laughing like crazy. "What kind of drink is that?" Rowan asked.

Mr. Wonka said, "Drink? No, that's the Break Room." He whispered to Jacob's dad, "Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker."

Ella impatiently started to shout, "THIS IS BORING! ALL THERE IS ARE CHEESY INSIDE JOKES! WHEN DO WE GET TO SEE THE GOOD STUFF?"

Charlie grumbled, "You want some cheese with that whine?" which Jacob and Henry snickered at. "Joking aside, there is a room you must see." He pointed to a room that said, "For Your Enemies." He opened the door and everyone walked inside.

That's the transitional chapter. There is another elimination next, so who do you think it will be? I wonder if anyone spotted the dirty joke, either. And it's not the snozzberry reference. Take care everyone!
