Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

(I do not own Mr. Wonka, Charlie or any other character except the ones I have created. I also don't own the Chocolate Factory [starts crying] or any other place, thing, creature, plant, mineral or object that is in Roald Dahl's story.)

Chapter 25: Television Chocolate

They all stepped out of the lift into a room so dazzlingly bright and dazzlingly white that they screwed up their eyes in pain and stopped walking. Mr. Wonka quickly ushered them all over to the wall where a row of huge bug-eyed shades sat and said, "Put these on quick! And don't take them off in here whatever you do! This light could burn your eyes right out of your skull!" Mr. Wonka snatched up a pair and carefully placed them on Chesper's face. His hands lingered on her cheeks a moment, making them turn a shade of pink, before turning to help the others.

As soon as Charlie had his dark glasses on, he was able to look around him in comfort. He saw a long narrow room. The room was painted white all over. Even the floor was white and there wasn't a speck of dust anywhere. From the ceiling, huge lamps hung down and bathed the room in a brilliant blue-white light. The room was completely bare except at the far ends. At one of these ends there was an enormous camera on wheels and a whole army of Oompa-Loompas where clustering around it, oiling its joints, adjusting its knobs and polishing its great glass lens. The Oompa-Loompas were dressed rather strangely, they were wearing completely white space suits, complete with helmets and goggles – at least they looked like space suits – and they were working in complete silence. Both Chesper and Charlie could sense that there was something dangerous about this whole business and the Oompa-Loompas knew it too. They all moved about in the room slowly and carefully.

At the other end of the room a single Oompa-Loompa (also wearing a space suit) was sitting at a black table gazing at a very large wide screen television.

"Here we go!" cried Mr. Wonka, hopping up and down with excitement. "This is the Testing Room for my very latest and greatest invention – Television Chocolate! Now before I can explain, do you know how ordinary television works?"

Chesper hesitantly spoke, "I think I do." Mr. Wonka sent her a smile that warmed her and gave her confidence. "It's very simple. At one end, where the picture is being taken, you have a large camera and you start photographing something. The photographs are then split up into millions of tiny pieces; they then hit the antenna on your roof and go into your television set. Then the television puts them back together again and the photograph appears on the screen,"

"Exactly!" praised Mr. Wonka. "Now the very first time I saw an ordinary television working, I was struck by a tremendous idea. If you could do that with a photograph then why can't I do the same thing with a bar of chocolate? Why can't I send a real bar of chocolate whizzing through the air in tiny pieces and then put them back together at the other end, all ready to be eaten?"

"Impossible!" interrupted Mike Teavee.

"Oh you think so?" replied Mr. Wonka. "Well, watch this! I shall send a bar of chocolate from one end of the room to the other – by television. Bring in the chocolate!"

Immediately, six Oompa-Loompas marched into the room carrying the most enormous chocolate bar you could imagine.

"It has to be really big," Mr. Wonka explained, "because when you send something by television it always comes out much smaller than when it first went in. Here we go then!"

One of the Oompa-Loompas went to a small panel on the wall and pushed a big button. There was a blinding flash.

"The chocolate's gone!" cried Charlie in astonishment. He was right, that enormous bar of chocolate had disappeared into thin air.

"Told you!" said Mr. Wonka. "It is now rushing through the air above our heads in a million tiny pieces. Quick! Come over here!" He grabbed Chesper's hand and dashed over to the other end of the room where the large television set was standing and everyone else followed. "Watch the screen!" he exclaimed. "Here it comes! Look!"

The screen flickered and lit up. Then suddenly, a small bar of chocolate appeared in the middle of the screen.

"Take it!" said Mr. Wonka, growing more and more exited.

"It's just a picture on the screen," announced Mike.

"Charlie!" cried Mr. Wonka, turning to him. "You take it! Just reach out and grab it!"

Charlie slowly put his hand out to touch the screen and suddenly the bar of chocolate came away in his fingers. He was so surprised he nearly dropped it.

"Eat it!" shouted Mr. Wonka. "I'll be delicious! It's the same bar! It's just got smaller on the journey, that's all!"

"It's absolutely fantastic!" gasped Chesper. "It's… it's… its genius!"

Mr. Wonka looked flattered as he said, "Just imagine. You'll be sitting at home watching television and suddenly a commercial will flash onto the screen and a voice will say: 'EAT WONKA'S CHOCOLATES! THEY'RE THE BEST IN THE WORLD! IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE US, TRY ONE FOR YOURSELF!' and you simply reach out and take one! How about that?"

"It will change the world," breathed Chesper as she realized just how close they were. She was staring into his intense, purple eyes which could just be seen through the shades. Completely enchanted and transfixed. She couldn't look away even if she had wanted to. His hand, which he had kept intertwined with hers, was surprisingly warm even through his latex gloves. She felt her heart rate speed up even more as he leaned forward slightly. But he reached up with his other hand and gently swept a loose strand of hair behind her ear before stepping away, much to Chesper's disappointment. Then she suddenly remembered that there were other people in the room. She turned to find Charlie staring at her with a sly grin on his face and she had to look away in embarrassment. He was definitely not going to let her forget this.

Meanwhile Mr. Wonka was extremely frustrated. He hated that there were so many people around. Still the tour must go on, even if he would rather be tasting those juicy lips of hers in an empty room. In his mind he quickly went to his internal 'To Do' list and replaced the number one thing with: Must have a COLD shower ASAP.
