A/N: Hey guys! Here's the next chapter! Enjoy!
As Mr. Bonka, Molly, Nonny and their parents left the Television Room, they found themselves back at the corridor again. Mr. Bonka turned back to look at them.
"My, my! 4 children gone already? This is becoming the most curious day ever! Well, anyway, since there's 2 of you guys, would you like to see another room?" asked Mr. Bonka.
"Oh, yes!" said Molly and Nonny in unison.
"Good! Now, will you all please follow me as we're going to rush along the corridor again and find the perfect room I want to show you all!" said Mr. Bonka.
"Here we go again!" said Molly and Nonny in unison.
They all rushed behind Mr. Bonka as they went past a lot of doors in the corridor. After passing 10 doors, he stopped by a door. The label on the door says "The Spotty Powder Room."
"Aha! Just the ticket! Now everyone, this stuff is going to cause a lot of trouble in schools when I sell it in the stores. Please follow me inside!" said Mr. Bonka.
He opened the door and everyone followed him inside. They were standing in front of a yellow balcony with a gate in the middle. There were stairs leading to the room too. The room had lots of pipes coming straight up out of the floor. It was like the Nut Room. The pipes were bent over at the top. There trickled a stream of white crystals coming out of every pipe. Lots of Fishie-Wishies were running around, catching the crystals in little golden boxes and stacking the boxes up against the walls.
"This is Spotty Powder! There it is! Just look at it! Fantastic stuff, aren't they?" asked Mr. Bonka, beaming in delight.
"But it looks like sugar." said Molly.
"It's meant to look like sugar Molly, and it tastes like sugar too. But it's not sugar. Goodness me, no." said Mr. Bonka.
"Then, what is it?" asked Molly.
Mr. Bonka pointed to a machine which begins with a tube. It looked like the rubbish chute in the Nut Room, but different.
"Do you see that tube over there? That's part of the machine that makes the powder. Every day, I go down to the cellar to feed the machine. But I'm the only one around here. No one ever comes with me." said Mr. Bonka.
Everyone can hear noises coming from the machine from the depths below, as the floor started vibrating. Molly stepped forward in front of Mr. Bonka as she was still holding her notebook after what Mr. Bonka explained.
"So, what's the big news? What's this stuff meant to do when you eat it?" she asked.
"Ah, I think you'd never guess Molly. Listen to this everyone. All you have to do is sprinkle it over your cereal at breakfast, pretending that it's sugar. Then, you eat it. And in 5 seconds, you'll start to have red spots all over your face and neck." said Mr. Bonka.
"What sort of a silly fool wants spot on it's face at breakfast?" asked Molly.
"That's what I'm trying to explain. Your mother or father will look at you across the table and say "My poor son or daughter! You must have got the chickenpox! You can't go to school looking like this today! I think it's best you stay in bed today!" So then, you stay at home spending time in bed all day. And by noon, the spots will disappear." said Mr. Bonka.
"I would love to use that, but I don't really want to get ill on important days such as in preschool." said Nonny.
"That's okay Nonny. You'll try it when you're older. But don't use it all the time, or it will keep the game away. Keep it for the nasty days such as the day of exams." said Mr. Bonka.
"Yes, you'll use Spotty Powder to keep you off school for the day!" said Molly, writing that down in her notebook.
But then, she stopped writing for a second and gasped.
"Wait, what? Use Spotty Powder to keep you off school? That will never do! Dad, did you hear what the power does? It's terrible! It should be illegal!" said Molly.
Mr. Gentilella stepped forward to Mr. Bonka.
"Now, see here Bonka! I am the headmaster of a big school and I refuse to let you sell this to the children! It's evil! You'll ruin my school!" he said.
"I hope so." said Mr. Bonka.
Mr. Gentilella waved his cane at him.
"It must be stopped!" he shouted.
"Who will stop it? This is for the children. I have no need for the grown-ups!" said Mr. Bonka.
"I've never missed a single day of preschool! When I move to my dad's school when I'm older, I'll be top of the form!" said Molly.
"I'm sorry to think about this, but I think you ought to miss a day!" said Mr. Bonka.
"How dare you!" said Mr. Gentilella.
"There ought to be no vacations or holidays at my dad's school!" cried Molly.
"Right my girl! With no games and just work you are who you are today." said Mr. Gentilella, patting Molly on the head.
"Isn't she brilliant?" said Mrs. Gentilella, smiling at Molly.
"Come on Dad! Let's go smash the machine!" cried Molly.
"Forward march!" shouted Mr. Gentilella, as he opened the gate with his cane and he and Molly started marching down the stairs.
"No! Don't go down there! It's secret!" said Mr. Bonka.
"You can't stop us you silly horse!" shouted Molly.
"We're going to smash it to pieces!" yelled Mr. Gentilella.
They both went down the stairs and into the room. They saw the tube on the floor.
"Look! There's the tube that works with the machine! Let's smash it so the machine won't work!" said Molly.
"I love the way you're thinking Molly!" said Mr. Gentilella.
They were about to smash it, when suddenly, there was a sucking sound from the tube. It sounded like a vaccuum cleaner. Molly and Mr. Gentilella were about to get sucked into the tube that leads directly into the machine. They were both screaming in fear.
"Hey, stop!" shouted Mr. Gentilella.
"Dad, what's going on?" asked Molly.
They grabbed on to some boxes in the room hanging on tight in dear life.
"Oh no! My husband and my daughter! Do something Mr. Bonka! What have you got down there in that machine?" cried Mrs. Gentilella, watching below from the balcony.
"Oh, nothing much. Just a lot of cogs, wheels, chains and stuff like that. They all go round and round." answered Mr. Bonka.
"You evil monster! I know what you're planning to do! You're going to make them into powder! In 2 minutes, Molly will come pouring out of one of those pipes over there, and so will my husband!" screamed Mrs. Gentilella.
"Exactly, that's part of the recipe." said Mr. Bonka.
"It's what?" asked Mrs. Gentilella.
"We've got to use some headmasters or headmistresses basically, or it wouldn't work." said Mr. Bonka.
"Help!" cried Molly.
Molly and Mr. Gentilella quickly try to run back to the stairs, but it was no good. The sucking made them slow down and fall to the floor. They grab on to everything in the room, trying not to get sucked deep down in the tube. The Fishie-Wishies had to evacuate the room as quick as possible.
"Why is this happening Dad?" asked Molly.
"I don't know Molly." said Mr. Gentilella.
Mrs. Gentilella turned to Nonny and Grandpa Sam.
"Did you hear Mr. Bonka? He admits it! He's nothing but a criminal!" she shrieked.
Mr. Bonka smiled and put an arm around Mrs. Gentilella.
"My dear lady, I was just joking." he said.
"Why did they scream? Look at them! They're screaming in fear!" asked Mrs. Gentilella.
Mr. Bonka looked down and saw Molly and Mr. Gentilella getting closer to the tube as they were dragged across the floor.
"They're not screaming. They're laughing." said Mr. Bonka.
"But my husband never laughs. He's always serious. There's no way he could be laughing." said Mrs. Gentilella.
Molly and Mr. Gentilella were about to go down the tube. They tried to grab on to pull themselves out but it was no good. Their hands slipped and they both fell directly down into it. They screamed until they disappeared into the darkness.
"No! My husband and my daughter!" cried Mrs. Gentilella.
The tube then went off and the Fishie-Wishies went back into the room going back to work.
"Where are they now?" asked Mrs. Gentilella.
"They've gone into the machine, but don't worry! I know who will escort you there to come for them!" said Mr. Bonka.
He snapped his fingers and a Fishie-Wishie walked up to him.
"I want you to take Mrs. Gentilella to the boiler room to get her husband her daughter out of the machine as quick as possible." said Mr. Bonka.
He turned to Mrs. Gentilella and put his hand on her shoulder reassuringly.
"Don't worry my dear lady. They'll all come out in the wash. There's nothing to worry about. Off you go to get your husband and your daughter out. Off you go! Thank you for visiting my factory! Farewell! Goodbye! It was nice to meet you!" said Mr. Bonka.
Mrs. Gentilella and the Fishie-Wishie went out of the room. Mr. Bonka looked at Nonny and Grandpa Sam.
"Well, that's been an adventure! Let's get out of this room before anything else happens!" said Mr. Bonka.
He opened the door and he, Nonny and Grandpa Sam left the room with Mr. Bonka shutting the door behind them.
