Charlie had woken up bright and early the next morning and went up to the living quarters. He knew his sister loved to sleep in when she could so he knocked on Willy's door first.
"Willy? Are you there?" asked Charlie through the door. He got no reply.
"Willy, it's me, Charlie." he said. Still no answer. Charlie just shrugged it off.
"He's probably either at the house already" Charlie thought to himself. So he walked down the hall and tried Natalie's room. He bedroom door was opened a tiny bit, so Charlie looked through the crack.
"Nat? Are you up yet?" wondered Charlie. Strangely, he got no answer. He opened the door further and saw that Natalie wasn't in her room. He decided to take the elevator and go look for them.
Natalie slowly opened her eyes and tried to remember what happened last night. She then remembered having a nightmare and going down to the lounge and found Willy. They must have fallen asleep and forgotten to go back to bed. Once her eyes were more focused she saw the sleeping form of Willy, lying peacefully next to her. Nat smiled and rested her head against his chest once more and went back to sleep.
Charlie could hear voices coming from inside the house, so that was a good sign. His mind started to ease as he approached the door. He looked inside but could see no sign of the two he was looking for.
"Hey has anyone seen Willy and Natalie?" Charlie asked.
"No dear, I haven't seen them since yesterday." said Helena as she was starting to prepare breakfast. Charlie looked at the rest of his family, who were all shaking their heads.
"Ok, ill be back." said Charlie as he left the tiny house again. Once in the elevator again, Charlie tried to think of where they could be. He had flown past a fair few rooms but still hadn't found them. Charlie gazed over the buttons until his eyes landed on an unfamiliar one. he pressed it and was on his way.
Charlie had never been to the lounge before. he recalled Willy telling him about it and letting him know that he was most welcome there, but had never had the chance to visit it yet.
The room was quite a sight. There was a huge open fire place and a couple of sofa's scattered around the room. Charlie's eyes fell upon one of the couches. He saw Natalie and Willy asleep in each others arms. Charlie smiled and quietly left the room. He didn't want to disturb them and figured he would see them later of anyway. Quietly closing the door behind him, Charlie returned to the glass elevator and headed for the chocolate room.
It wasn't until later that morning that Willy and Natalie woke up again. Willy smiled and kissed Natalie's forehead before she got up. they walked together to the elevator that was waiting for them outside the door. Once inside Willy pushed a button and they were off. However the balance that Natalie had shown the previous night had since not returned and she fell right into Willy's side.
"I thought you were getting better at this?" Willy teased.
"I am, i'm just half asleep, that's all." said Nat. Willy laughed at her and Natalie, being the mature woman that she was, stuck her tongue out at him, before laughing to herself quietly. When they reached the floor Natalie tried to leave but Willy stopped her.
"How do I know that when I let you go, you won't fall over again?" he mocked.
""I guess you don't." said Nat. she tried again to move but Willy wouldn't let go.
"Oh come on, sweetie." Nat pleaded. But he only smiled at her. Nat smiled slyly and turned around to face him. She looked deep into his eyes before kissing him. Immediately Willy's grip loosened as he deepened the kiss. But once she was free, Natalie pulled away from him and exited the elevator. Willy rolled his eyes and laughed to himself quietly before walking to his room, leaving Natalie to get dressed.
"Nice to see you both this morning." said Noah as Willy and Natalie entered the house.
"Sorry, we saw a movie last night and we decided to walk home. We didn't get back until pretty late." explained Natalie.
"That's alright. Did you both have a good time?" wondered Helena.
"Yeah, we did." smiled Willy. The entire family sat down to a wonderful breakfast.
"I was thinking I could go down and visit the store today. Maybe you could come with me Charlie." said Natalie.
Charlie was about to agree when Willy spoke up,
"Actually Charlie I was kinda hoping you could help me with something today." said Willy.
Charlie looked at him confused. Willy nodded slightly in Natalie's direction and winked when she wasn't looking. Charlie smiled and nodded.
"Sure, you don't mind do you Nat?" wondered Charlie.
"No, course not." smiled Natalie. so after breakfast Natalie went down to the store and Charlie and Willy went off to the inventing room.
"What was it you wanted me to help you with?" wondered Charlie.
"I have a surprise for Natalie and I wanted to know if you thought it was a good idea and perhaps you could help Me." said Willy. He walked over to a cabinet and pulled out a box, which he took over to Charlie.
"Go ahead, take a look." smiled Willy. Charlie lifted the lid of the box and gazed down as to what it held.
"It's perfect, she'll love it." he said.
"You really think so?" wondered Willy. Charlie smiled.
"I know she will."
