The Six Golden Tickets
Chapter 25: Busch Gardens
Before Dawn had fallen asleep. She reached over and purposely un-set her alarm clock. She wanted Willy to come wake her up. She loved it when he did. She also got a kick out of it.
The next day came fast. Willy had his alarm set for 11:00 AM. When the alarm went off, he got up and was a bit groggy. He took a shower, got dressed and left his room. He went to Dawn's door and walked in. Willy saw Dawn was still sleeping. He was confused. He could have sworn he set her alarm. He walked over to her bed and looked at the alarm clock on the nightstand. He now realized that it had been un-set. He shook his head with a smirk on his face. He walked over to the side of the bed she was sleeping on, grabbed the covers and pulled them off shouting "Wakey, Wakey!"
Dawn made it look like she didn't hear him, she just rolled over the opposite way giggling to her self with her eyes open. Willy looked over her shoulder to see her face, she shut her eyes quick. Willy shook his head with a smirk on his face again and said "Come on starshine! You said you wouldn't give me a fuss."
Dawn still giggled to herself quietly so he would not notice. Then she pulled the sheets up over he head. Willy sighed, he walked away and went into the bathroom. He took a paper cup, filled it with cold water, came out and went over to her. He tipped the cup slightly, hesitating and said to himself "I couldn't do that, could I?"
Dawn had no idea he went to get cold water. Willy pulled the cup back and said "No." In a low tone of voice. Then he tipped the cup again and hesitated again, then he said to him self "Oh boy would she be surprised."
Then he sighed, he just couldn't do it. So he went back to the bathroom and dumped the water down the sink. Then he came out and had a better idea. He grabbed the pillow out from under he head, pulled it, then gently whacked her with the pillow and said "Wakey, Wakey starshine!"
Dawn's eyes lit up, she put her hand up, while trying to pull the sheet off and said "Hey!" She rolled off the bed, with her hand blocking the pillow. He kept gently hitting her with the pillow. She grabbed the other pillow next to her and said "My turn!" Then she swung the pillow and whacked him with it gently. Willy gasped, he dropped the other pillow and ran for the bedroom door. She chased him with the pillow but tripped on the blanket he pulled off the bed. He ran out the door, down the hall and hid behind a corner in the hall. She went down the hallway looking for him, but she couldn't find him. She slowly walked down the hall and said "Oh, Willy! Come out, Come out where ever you are!"
He was giggling to himself, when she passed where he was hiding. He quietly began to follow her with out her even knowing he was right behind her. She stopped to think where could he be. Then he put his hands on her eyes and said "Guess who?"
She laughed and said "Uh!" She tried to turn around to swat him gently with the pillow, but he grabbed her by the arms from behind, so she couldn't turn around. He had a smile on his face and he said "Drop the pillow."
Dawn struggled to get loose, while laughing and said "No. Let me go."
Willy wrapped his arms around her, holding her still from behind and said "I don't have too. Not until you drop the pillow."
She put her head up to laughed and said "Well since you put it that way. I think I'll hold on to the pillow for a little longer."
Willy shrugged his shoulders and said "Well if you insist."
So he stood here holding her, waiting for her to drop the pillow. She didn't want to drop the pillow, she wanted to stay in his arms. He knew this too. So he did what she wanted and held her a little bit. Then he leaned his head up against her head. After a few minutes, he turned his head to kiss her on the cheek. Her eyes lit up and she dropped the pillow when he did that. Then he let her go and said "Ha!" Then he smiled at her and said "Come on, lets get ready."
Dawn nodded her head okay. He turned around to head back down the hall. She grabbed the pillow and snuck up behind him….WHAM!….. She whacked him in the back with the pillow.
He smiled, turned around pretending to look mad and said "Uh!"
She gasped, dropped the pillow and ran back to her room ahead of him laughing. She shut the door behind her and locked it. Willy grabbed the pillow. Went to her door, knocked and said "Open up!"
She was laughing with her back against the door and she said "No way."
Willy shook his head with a smirk on his face and said "Oh. Okay then." Then he stood there quietly for a few minutes to see if she would open the door, thinking he was gone. Well she wasn't that dumb so she didn't unlock it yet. So he took out his set of keys quietly, he had a key to ever room even hers.
At the same time he unlocked the door, she unlocked it too, she could hear the keys rattling. She opened the door and pretended to gasp when she saw him there. As if she didn't know he was there.
Willy warmly smiled, he held up the pillow in his hand like a tray. He closed his eye's half way and said "Oh! Hello starshine." Then brushed the top of the pillow off with his other hand and said "I believe you forgot this."
Before she could say anything, he grabbed both ends of the pillow and swung the pillow at her. Her eyes lit up, she ducked quickly and said "Oh no you don't!" Then she ran over to where Willy dropped the other pillow and grabbed it. She swung it up and back at him. They swung pillows, hitting each other gently, they had a pillow fight.
After a few minutes, Willy stopped, he caught her pillow from her last swing and said "Come on starshine! Lets call a truce. We must get ready for Busch Gardens."
Dawn calmed her self down from giggling so much and said "Oh okay." Then she let go of the pillow and said "That was fun!"
Willy warmly smiled at her with his eyes half shut and said "I know!" Then he placed the pillows back on the bed, went back over to her, gave her a quick kiss and said "Go on, go get ready. I'll wait here for you, kay?" Then he went over to the bed and sat down to wait.
She smiled at him and nodded her head. She went to her dresser, got a fresh set of cloths out and went into the bathroom. She got a T-shirt, a pair of shorts and sneakers. She took a shower, got dressed and put her hair up, because she figured it would be hot there. When she was ready she came out and told him "I'm ready."
He smiled at her, stood up and said "Oh good!"
She walked up to him and said "Okay, you next."
Willy looked at her funny and asked "What do you mean?"
Dawn looked at him with a smile and said "Well you don't want to wear that do you?" Then she pointed to his cloths and said " You'll get noticed for sure."
Willy gasped, he looked down at his cloths, then back at her. He nodded his head and said "Oh! Right!"
Then he walked over to the door, turned around, waved his arm at Dawn and said "Come on! Come help me." Dawn smiled at him when he said that, she didn't expect him to want her to help. But she did what he said and went with him. When they were in his room now. Willy went to his closet and looked around. Dawn went into his dresser, opening the drawers. She found his six flags T-shirt. She held it up and asked "How about this?"
Willy turned to look, he puffed up his cheeks and said "Oh! Heh… I don't know."
She looked down at the T-shirt, she didn't see anything wrong with it. Then she looked back up at him with a smile and said "Come on, it wont look that bad."
Willy sighed, he closed his eyes and asked "How do you know?"
She shook her head, walked up to him with a smile and said "Hold it up to you please." Then she handed him the shirt.
He took the shirt and held it up like she asked. She stood back and smiled then said "Yeah, that'll work."
He looked down at the shirt, then back up at her and said "But, it says Six Flags on it. Were not going to Six Flags. It'll look silly." Then he turned his head to puff out his cheeks again. Because that was just not his style.
Dawn caught that, she giggled when he did that. Then she smiled at him, shrugged her shoulders and said "So, no one will care. People wear other park shirts to other parks. It's okay."
Willy sighed, he knew she was just trying to help. So he nodded his head, to go along with it and said "Okay then."
Dawn looked down for a moment to think. Then she looked up at him and asked "Got any shorts?"
Willy gasped, he shook his head quickly and said "Oh no, I don't like to wear those."
Dawn rolled her eyes, she giggled and turned to look in his closet. She searched around, she found a almost new pair of sneakers and his shorts. She held up the shorts and asked "What do you call these?"
Willy shrugged his shoulders with a smirk and said "Oh. How did those get in there."
She raised one eye brow up looking at him and said "Come on, there not so bad."
So she handed him the shorts and sneakers then told him "Here put these on."
At that moment, Willy had an attack from the taffy. He looked at her and blurted out "Fine, since your making me wear something I don't want to wear."
Dawn looked at him funny, when he said that and asked "What?"
Willy shook his head quick, but then said "Clean out your ears."
Dawn rolled her eyes and thought here we go again with the taffy. She pretended not to hear that and said "Just put them on."
Willy stood there trying to fight with him self. So she gently pushed him towards the bathroom, pushed him in and closed the door once he was in. She stood out side the door waiting. She figured if she did that, then maybe, when he came out the taffy would wear off.
Willy stood there in the bathroom waiting a few minutes, then luckily it worked and the taffy wore off. He quickly then took a shower, got dressed and opened the door. Dawn looked at him and said "You look great."
Willy smiled when she said that. Then he looked at her with a straight face and said "Why thank you! And I am sorry for-"
She cut him off, she knew what he was going to say and said "Don't worry about it." He sighed in relief and gave her a hug. She hugged him back and patted him on the back.
Then he let her go, went to his nightstand and got his sunglasses then put them on. He put his cane up on the wall, then, he went back over to the closet and got out his six flags baseball cap. He put it on, tucking his hair up under it. When he was ready he went over to Dawn and asked "Ready?"
Dawn giggled at him for something, she smiled at him and said "Hold out your arms."
Willy looked at her funny and asked "Why?"
Dawn smiled at him and said "Just do it."
So he did what she asked. She grabbed his shirt from his belly and pulled it up. He had it tucked in his shorts. So she pulled it out. She re-adjusted his shirt and said "There that's better." Then she pulled off his gloves and said "You wont be needing these at the park."
Willy smiled when she did that. He liked this and let her do this. When she was done, he warmly smiled and said "Thanks."
She smiled back at him and said "Your welcome." Then she went to his nightstand and laid his gloves on it.
He put his arm out for her to grab his arm and said "Lets Boogie!"
She walked back over to him, put her arm around his arm and said "Okay."
Willy smiled at her and said "Oh good! You caught my drift."
She turned her head to look at him, she laughed and asked "Well why else would you have your arm out ? To stand there and look pretty?"
Willy shook his head with a smirk on his face and said "MmnNo! Come on, lets go."
She nodded to agree and they left. They headed for the elevator and with his free hand pushed the button for the doors to open. They got on the elevator together. Then with his free hand he pushed the button for the Candy Room. When they got to the Candy Room. They walked to Charlie's house and Willy knocked. Charlie and his family were all ready to go and had already eaten. Charlie opened the door and excitingly asked "Ready Willy and Dawn?"
Willy nodded his head at Charlie, with a smile on his face and said "Course we are!"
Dawn smiled at Charlie and answered "Defiantly! How about you little man?"
Charlie shook his head quickly yes. Then Charlie, his mom and dad came out of the house ready to go. They all went to the elevator, got in and all went to the Air Room. They quickly arrived and walked out of the elevator. Willy looked around and made his sound "Lulah-lulah-lulah." A oompa loompa came to him, he kneeled down and told the oompa loompa where they were going and handed him the directions. The oompa loompa took the directions, nodded and ran off to get the Wonka Craft.
Once the oompa loompa got the Wonka Craft ready. Everyone walked up to it and got in. Willy sat in the back next to Dawn. Charlie sat in the front row and his parents sat in the second row, next to eachother. Once they were all in, the oompa loompa started the Wonka Craft and they took off. They were heading for Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia. Willy decided to pick that one, hoping that he wouldn't get noticed at this one.
On the way there. They sat in silence. Willy broke the silence by typing in the small computer that was attached to the row of seats in front of them. He purposely put on the Willy Wonka song. Once it came on he started bopping to it.
Dawn shook her head laughing. Charlie looked back at Willy and laughed too. So to be funny, Dawn joined in and bopped to it too. He turned his head to look at Dawn with a big smile on his face cause she did that.
Once the song was over. They had a good laugh. Then he turned on a move. He picked the movie Edward Scissorhands. He purposely put this on for Dawn. To see how she would react to this. To his surprise again, it didn't phase her.
Before they knew it, they had reached Busch Gardens. Before the oompa loompa landed the craft, he pushed a button for the invisibility shield to turn on. Once it was invisible, he landed it. Once it was on the ground. He pushed a button again, the invisibility shield turned off and it looked like a car from the out side. Well, it looked like a hummer limo from the outside. So of course a limo like that pulling up to Busch Gardens is going to attacked attention. In New York, it didn't because limos are more common in New York.
So Willy's worst fear happened, people saw this vehicle pulling up and were staring. Once it was in park, the one door slid open. Everyone but Dawn and Willy got out. Dawn was looking out the window. Willy leaned across Dawn, to look out too and said "Oh…heh…. There sure are a lot of people here." then he made a gulping sound.
Dawn tried to look at him, but she couldn't because he was partially on top of her, looking out the window, so she said "Well yeah. That's why I helped you find something to wear."
He now backed off her, with a nervous look on his face. she smiled at him, she tried to make him feel better and said "Come on, they wont know who you are."
Willy gulped again and nervously said "Kay." While looking at her with a nervous look on his face.
Then he looked out the window, puffed his cheeks, then he looked back at her and said "You first."
Dawn looked at him funny and asked "How? Your closer to the door then I am?"
Willy looked at her with a nervous look on his face and said "Oh." Then he moved to the row of seats in front of him, turned around to look at her with a smirk and said "Now you can."
She shook her head, she got out then grabbed his hand on the way out and said "Come on."
He went along with her when she pulled him out, he had a nervous look on his face still and gulped, while puffing his cheeks out, a few times. When he got out and looked around at the few people gawking. Dawn looked around at the people and said "Do I go to your house and stair in your window? No! Go on, get out of her."
The crowed did, when she said that and when they noticed it was no one special in the limo, but one asked "Who's limo is that?"
Dawn looked at them, smiled at them and said "It's mine. I'm a graphic designer."
The person who asked, shrugged their shoulders and walked off. Because that was no big deal to them.
Dawn looked at Willy with a smile, once the people were all gone and said "There, that takes care of that."
Willy warmly smiled at her, gave her a big hug and said "Why Thank You!"
Dawn smiled, she hugged him back, patted him on the back and said "Your Welcome."
He let her go, then he grabbed Dawn's hand smiling and said "Kay, let's go."
Everyone went to the ticket booth, Willy bought the tickets and handed everyone one. Then they went to the ticker taker, through security and the metal guest counters.
Once they were all in, Willy grabbed Dawns hand again, looked at Mrs. Bucket and asked "Kay, so are we going to split up again like we did at six flags?"
Mrs. Bucket shrugged her shoulders and said "That's up to you Willy."
Willy let go of Dawn's hand again. He reached in his pocket, got some money out and handed it to Mrs. Bucket. He smiled at her and said "Here, Dawn and I are going to go off on our own with Charlie, We'll meet." Then he unfolded his map to look, where they could meet, but couldn't find a place. Then he took out his pocket watch, that he set for the same time zone and said "Well, We'll meet back here at 2:00PM. Then we'll get lunch."
He did this so Mrs. And Mr. Bucket could have some time alone. Mrs. Bucket smiled while nodding and said "Thank you, Willy. Alright We'll see you three at 2:00PM."
Willy nodded, then he grabbed Dawn's hand again. He pulled her along and Charlie walked along side them.
