On with the story, everyone! :)

Everyone stared at her, absolutely shocked.

"W-what?" said Bertie Wood, confused.

"T-that...just...wow!" said Claire Wood.

"Why didn't you tell me that earlier, Mommy?" said Alexis, as shocked as the rest of them.

"Because," said Matilda Williams, "knowing that the type of hyper, 'tell all' girl that you are, I didn't tell you because I didn't want people to know that I am Matilda. I didn't want my secret getting out. I don't want to be a celebrity. I just want to be the best mother that I possibly can."

"Awww!" said Emma P. Perr.

Alexis looked at her mom, and then, she hugged her tightly and lovingly. Matilda hugged her back.

"Miss Williams…" began Emma, but then, Matilda interrupted her.

"You can just call me Matilda," said Matilda Williams, smiling at Emma.

"I-I heard that you can some sort of like, eye power, or something," said Emma. "Can you please show us it?"

"Meow!" said Cat-Adam excitedly.

"Wow," murmured Oleg Perr to himself.

"That's amazing!" murmured Veruca Perr.

"I'm extremely sorry," responded Matilda, "but I'm afraid that I cannot."

"Why?" said Mr. Wonka.

"I am afraid that I haven't been able to use it for years," said Matilda. "Ever since I defeated-or should I say, thought that I defeated-Miss Trunchbull, my powers left me. It's kind of a long story, and I do not want to take up any more of our precious time on this tour. I hope that you all understand."

"It's OK," murmured Alexis, showing a very slight hint of disappointment.

"Yeah, it's OK," murmured Emma, also slightly disappointed.

"Meow," said Cat-Adam, agreeing with Alexis and Emma.

"I'm glad that you all understand," smiled Matilda at everyone.

"Mr. Wonka?" said Claire Wood suddenly. "I'm tired. My feet hurt!"

"But, my dear lady, transportation has already been arranged!" said Mr. Wonka, extending his arms.

A few seconds later, a yellow bus that looked like a school bus came into view. A horn honked, and the bus' double doors were opened up by a male Oompa-Loompa with a blue driver hat on. Everyone got in the bus, and they were off! A few minutes later, the bus began to surely but slowly pick up speed.

"Ummm…" said Alexis, starting to get a little nervous. "Mr. Wonka?"

"Yes?" said Mr. Wonka, with a smirk on his face.

"Are you sure that this is safe?" said Alexis.

"Why, of course!" beamed Mr. Wonka.

A few seconds later, the bus did an extremely sharp turn, causing everyone to fly out of their seats and go into the middle of the aisle.

"Hey!" exclaimed Alexis.

The bus gained even more speed, and did even more sharp turns. About five minutes later, Alexis noticed that they were approaching a black tunnel, almost exactly like the one in the Chocolate Room.

"Hey!" cried Emma. "What is this, a freak-out?!"

Cat-Adam had his head buried in Emma's shirt in fear, and Emma was trying her best to pet him and console him and keep him calm.

"Hey! Turn us around, Wonka!" yelled Bertie Wood. "I want off!"

"Round the world and home again, that's the sailor's way!" yelled Mr. Wonka maniacally.

With everyone freaking out, they went into the tunnel, and when they came out, they realized that they weren't in the Cyber Room anymore, and they weren't riding a bus any longer. They were riding a train, like the ones seen in Wild West movies!

"My, my, Mike Teavee would really like this!" gasped Matilda Williams.

"Welcome to the Wild West Room!" said Mr. Wonka

They kept riding, faster and faster!

"Faster! Faster!" cried Mr. Wonka happily. "Faster! Faster! Faster!"

Everyone could see saguaro cacti surrounding them, and tumbleweeds blowing, and everyone suddenly heard a noise that made everyone jump, even Mr. Wonka. It was a gunshot!

"Hurry!" exclaimed Mr. Wonka. "Faster, please! Faster!"

"Neeeiiigghh!" cried a horse, as an evil cowboy, now shooting at the train. He looked exactly like Crazy Pete from Marvin Trout's demise!

"Hahaha!" laughed the evil cowboy. "Crazy Pete will get y'all!"

"It is Crazy Pete!" exclaimed Alexis, snuggling her mother, frightened. "Ahhhh!"

"Oh, my gosh!" exclaimed Bertie Wood.

"I-I'm scared!" cried Claire Wood.

"Me too!" exclaimed Emma, with Cat-Adam still burying his head in Emma's shirt.

"Oh, Adam!" exclaimed Emma, scared.

Quite unexpectedly, Cat-Adam began to cuddle Emma to try to make her feel better! Soon, they began to snuggle against each other, and they began to calm down.

"H-how are we going to get Crazy Pete off of our trail?" exclaimed Matilda Williams, as a bullet came through one of the train's windows, and everyone ducked.

"Yah!" cried Alexis. "Everyone, get down on to the train's floor!"

Frightened, everyone got down on to the train's floor, just like Alexis said. More and more bullets blasted and blasted through the windows.

"We should be approaching our next destination soon!" yelled Charlie Bucket, over the noise of the bullets.

"I sure hope so!" responded Grandpa Joe.

Suddenly, the bullet noises abruptly stopped, and everyone got back on to their seats.

Mr. Wonka looked around.

"Whew!" said Mr. Wonka, breathing a sigh of relief. "I think we lost him!"

"Think again, you marauder!" said a gruff voice.

It was Crazy Pete! He was actually on the train!

"Help!" cried Alexis.

Everyone looked, and they saw another tunnel, but this one was made out of grey stone bricks.

"A pier?!" cried Emma.

The train flew right off of the pier, and, as it did so, Crazy Pete flew right out of the train! They were safe!

"I'll get yooouuuu!" screamed Crazy Pete, as he went flying through the air.

Everyone closed their eyes in relief, and when they opened them, they saw that they were underwater! They were in a submarine!

"Wow!" gaped Alexis.

"Me-OW!" gasped Cat-Adam, in shock.

"I think he means, 'That's wonderful!'," said Emma P. Perr.

Cat-Adam nodded.

"Wow!" exclaimed Emma. "I can speak cat!"

"Well, I can speak whale," responded Mr. Wonka. He abruptly started to make a bunch of random noises that caused everyone to put his or her fingers, or in Cat-Adam's case, paws, in their ears.

"Oooooooh-eeeee!" said Mr. Wonka. "Ooooaaafffwaaannnnday! "Eeeeee! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Eeh-ooo!"

"Oh, my!" gasped Matilda Williams.

"Make it stop!" cried Alexis. "Make it stop! Make it stop!"

"Oooo-ooohh-eee!" continued Mr. Wonka, taking no notice of them.

"Mr. Wonka, please stop!" exclaimed Charlie Bucket, over Mr. Wonka's seemingly random noises.

Quite suddenly, Mr. Wonka stopped, and said, "Look!"

Everyone looked, and through the window of their submarine, they could see a blue whale gracefully swimming through the water, observing them.

"Ooooh," said Emma, in shock.

"Meee-ooww!" said Cat-Adam, gaping.

"I think that means, 'That's amazing!'," said Emma.

Cat-Adam nodded and started to once again snuggle with Adam. Emma affectionately kissed his nose.

"I really can speak cat!" cried Emma happily.

"Meow!" said Cat-Adam.

"Now, that means 'yes'!" said Emma.

Cat-Adam nodded once more and continued to snuggle her, while Emma snuggled him back.

"Would you like me to speak whale some more?" asked Mr. Wonka.

"No!" cried everyone in the submarine together.

"OK, OK!" said Mr. Wonka, chuckling nervously.

Abruptly, everyone outside went dark. Then, the small light started to appear.

"Whew!" said Alexis.

The light came closer and closer, eventually making everyone shield their eyes. Once their eyes adjusted, though, it wasn't a pretty sight.

"YAHH!" cried Alexis, scared. "ANGLER FISH!"

And, indeed it was!

"Turbo boosters!" cried Mr. Wonka immediately. "Activate them now!"

Another Oompa-Loompa in the submarine flipped a lever, and a few seconds later, the submarine began to take off at the most incredible speed. Unfortunately, the angler fish, with its large, monstrous eyes, and its sharp, curvy teeth, was still chasing them.

"Ahhhh!" screamed Alexis. "Get it away!"

She quickly, somehow, spotted another dangerous animal!

"It's a Sixgill Shark!" cried Alexis, pointing.

Now, an anglerfish and a sixgill shark were chasing after them!

"How do you know so much about animals like those?" shouted Mr. Wonka, over the noise of the engine.

"My teacher, Matthew Barleygo, is a big help!" said Alexis. "He also has two assistants, named Igor and Frank! They do social media as well! Matthew wrote the famous book, Animals of the Deep-Dark Sea. You should check them out sometimes. Matthew's social media username is mattTheWriter072, while Igor's username is MysteriousMaker1185, and Frank's username is TheIndividualist."

"I might try!" screamed Mr. Wonka, over the noise of the roaring engines.

CHOMP! went the jaws of the anglerfish, as it tried to bite the submarine. CHOMP! Went the jaws of the sixgill shark. It took its tail and swabbed it at the submarine, but fortunately, the Oompa-Loompa managed to steer the submarine out of the way. Mr. Wonka spotted a sunken ship.

"Hurry!" said Mr. Wonka, Charlie Bucket, and Grandpa Joe together. "Into that ship!"

The Oompa-Loompa managed to steer the turbo submarine into the ship. The anglerfish and the sixgill shark tried to chomp and swing and bite at the submarine, but they got their bodies stuck in a hole at the side of the ship. Once they saw that their potential prey was gone forever, they managed to wiggle their bodies out of the ship, and they swam away.

"Whew!" said Emma, gasping for breath. "We're safe!"

"I think we should be reaching the end of this crazy ride soon, as well," said Mr. Wonka.

He turned and told the Oompa-Loompa driver, "Try swimming up to the surface."

He did so, and Mr. Wonka was right! There was another dock, and gasping for fresh air, everyone quickly got out of the submarine.

"Oh...my...gosh…!" gasped Emma.

Cat-Adam's fur was sticking up, and he clearly had a look of fear on his face.

"Don't worry," said Emma soothingly, petting Cat-Adam gently. "It's over. I'll keep you safe, my precious Adam!"

Cat-Adam then proceeded to lick Emma playfully on the face.

"Hahaha!" laughed Emma happily. "Hahaha! That tickles, Adam! S-stop it! Hahaha!"

"I've never been so scared in my entire life!" cried Alexis.

"Neither have I!" said Matilda Williams.

"That was the freakiest thing that I ever rode on!" said Veruca Perr.

"I agree!" said Claire Wood.

"I will never go on another submarine for as long as I live!" said Bertie Wood indignantly.

"Well, we're here!" said Mr. Wonka proudly.

"We're where?" enquired Claire Wood.

"Here," said Mr. Wonka.

"Where?" said Matilda Williams.

"Here," responded Mr. Wonka calmly.

"We're where?" said Claire Wood, beginning to get slightly impatient.

"Here," said Mr. Wonka, pointing his gold-topped cane at a door. Everyone looked, and it said: "THE HISTORY OF CHOCOLATE".
