A/N: Hey everyone! Back again with another chapter. I hope you all like it. Just a heads up, there's a lot going on in this chapter, switching between all different scenes, so it's broken up quite a bit, but it doesn't really matter much...you still get the whole story.

I absolutely love the song Tim McGraw, by Taylor Swift, so I thought that I could work it into the story some how...it'll make more sense in later chapters too. I decided, with some help from my wonderful PIC, that I would base it around the song instead of actually putting the song in here. Who knows, I might put it in at some point, or parts of it...we'll see.

Also, I adore the film and book; The Notebook, so that kinda inspired me quite a bit, particularly for this chapter and the next. So keep an eye out for some fluffy and cute moments coming up.

A picture of Jackie's dress is going to be posted in my profile so keep an eye out.

I would like to dedicate this chapter to my beloved Grandad, who passed away a year ago. He encouraged me to be anything I wanted to be and told me that I could do anything I wanted to do in life. He also was one of the few whom I let read my writing at first and was always behind me one hundred percent. I miss him more than words can say and I know he is with me always.

Disclaimer: I don't own Charlie and the Chocolate factory or any of its characters. I only own the plot from about chapter 17 onward, and the characters Natalie, Jackie, Alice, Tim, Daniel and Holly. Nor do I own the songs Tim McGraw [Taylor Swift] and It's your love [Tim McGraw] or the film/book The Notebook.

So, with that said, on with the chapter!

After telling Charlie to wait for him downstairs, Willy sat down on the couch and waited for Natalie to get out of her shower. A few minutes later the bathroom door opened and Natalie came out, attaching her badge to her jacket. Willy couldn't help smiling. She really did look beautiful, even if she had just woken up, or was drenched from the rain, like she was the night before coming home from work. Now she looked more awake and ready for the day and simply took his breath away. Willy smiled and took her hand as they headed out to the elevator.

"So, what's on the agenda today?" He asked as they headed down to the house. Natalie checked her watch.

"Well, it's about twelve now. I'm getting my hair cut later this afternoon then Jackie and I are going to look around for Bridesmaids dresses and have a bit of a girls afternoon." Nat said. "After that...I have no idea."

Willy nodded as he took her hand once more as they headed out to the house. He tried his best to hide the smile from his face. Everyone was already in the house. Even Jackie was there, sitting on the couch talking with Charlie...well, more like laughing and holding hands. Natalie couldn't help smiling at the sight.

"Oh there you are." Noah said, looking up from his paper. "Had a good sleep in?"

"Yes I did." Nat said, sitting down at the table. "Although, I wasn't asleep very long."

"Why not?" Noah asked. Helena walked over with a cup of coffee for Natalie and a piece of toast.

"Reminiscing." Natalie replied. As she was about to walk away, Helena noticed the badge on her daughter's jacket.

"Nat, I haven't seen that badge since...forever. Where did you find it?" she asked. Natalie smiled weakly.

"Willy had it." Natalie said quietly, hiding away behind her coffee cup. Helena looked at her daughter, then at her future son-in-law before finally putting two and two together.

"You jumped the factory gates?" she asked. Natalie flinched a little at the loudness.

"Umm...yeah?" she said. She honestly felt as if she was fifteen all over again and was being grounded by her parents.

"Natalie Kathleen Bucket, why did you do something so incredibly stupid?" Helena wondered.

"Mum....I...just...Danny dared me." Natalie said in her defence.

"Daniel always dared you...that don't mean you had to do it." Helena said. She hardly ever got into this part of 'mother mode', for Natalie or Charlie. It was usually fretting and worrying, never screaming.

"Mum...it was what, thirteen years ago." Natalie said. "It doesn't even matter any more. Willy doesn't..."

But Helena wasn't listening. She kept ranting on more. Natalie sighed and looked at her father for help. Noah had now completely abandoned his newspaper and was watching his wife and daughter with interest.

"Darling, Natalie's got a point. It doesn't matter any more. She was just having fun, like all kids do at that age. She wasn't really hurt and Willy doesn't seem to mind." He said. Helena sighed and nodded. Nat smiled at her father in thanks. She took another drink and checked her watch.

"Well...now that that's all good and over, we gotta get going." Natalie said. "Jac, let's go honey."

Jackie nodded and got up off the couch, but not before she gave Charlie a quick kiss. She grabbed her bag and went to wait by the door. Natalie said goodbye to her parents and Willy before grabbing her bag and her piece of toast before she and Jackie left.

As soon as she was gone, Charlie came over and sat by Willy. They both looked out the window to make sure that the girls were long gone before they talked.

"Okay, so here's what I'm thinking." Willy said.

oOoOoOoOoOo

"You look great, Natalie." Jackie said as they left the hairdressers. Natalie smiled as she ran her hand through her now shoulder-length hair.

"Really?" she asked. Jackie nodded. "I wasn't too sure. I mean, it's not that much shorter is it?"

"No, it looks really good." Jackie insisted. Natalie grinned at her friend.

"Okay, now that's out of the way, time to look for dresses." She said. Jackie's face lit up as they started walking. There weren't many stores around their neighbourhood for dresses. But luckily the two were only looking for ideas and inspiration today. The two stopped off at a nearby cafe and grabbed some hot chocolate before continuing on their journey.

"Willy's birthday's coming up, isn't it?" Jackie wondered. Natalie smiled and nodded. "What are you planning?"

"Well, he insists that he doesn't want anything." Natalie said, rolling her eyes. "According to him, all he wants is all of us together with a cake."

"All of us?" Jackie wondered. Natalie smiled again.

"Of course. You know you're family now." She said, making the thirteen year old smile even brighter.

"So you're just gonna get everyone together?" Jackie asked. Natalie shrugged.

"I'll probably figure something else out later." She said. Jackie nodded as they kept walking. They arrived at a dress shop a few moments later.

"Alright, let's have a look around." Natalie said. Jackie smiled and the two started their search.

oOoOoOoOoOo

Meanwhile, Willy and Charlie were in the middle of a search of their own. After Natalie's story that morning, Willy had an idea on how to keep her away that night. He would get her the Chevy truck that she'd always wanted.

They were now looking around at all the different kinds of cars in the yard. They looked around for any sight of a red truck, just like the one in the picture. So far, they haven't been having much luck.

"I'm gonna go have a look over there." Charlie said. Willy nodded and watched as the young boy walked in the other direction. Willy sighed to himself and continued to look around when a sales assistant walked over to them.

"Hello, can I help you?" he asked. Willy smiled and nodded.

"I hope so." He said "I'm looking for a red Chevy truck, like the one in this picture." He said, handing the photo over to the assistant.

"Hmmm....well, let's see what we can do."

oOoOoOoOoOo

At the dress shop, Natalie and Jackie were still searching through the dresses in the store. They knew it was a long shot that they would find anything, but it would have been good to find at least some inspiration or ideas. But either some were too old or too young. Some too over the top and some far too simple. In total, Jackie had tried on about fifteen or so dresses, but none were right.

"Found anything yet?" Natalie asked. Jackie looked at her on the other side of the shop and shook her head.

"Not really. Have you?" she asked. Natalie sighed and shook her head. She put down the dress she was looking at and walked over to the young girl.

"It's alright." She said. "As long as it's before the wedding we'll be fine." Jackie nodded her head.

"Yeah, you're right. But we will have one before the wedding. "She laughed. Natalie smiled and the two headed towards the door. Jackie was halfway out the shop door when something caught her eye.

"Wait a second." She said. Natalie looked at her confused as she watched her head over to a small rack towards the back. After riffling through a couple of dresses, Jackie pulled out a simple purple halter dress. She held it up so Natalie could see.

"What about this one?" she asked. Natalie walked over and had a look at the dress. It was a beautiful purple colour, much like the coloured part of her wedding gown. It was a halter neck and had a slight pin tucked effect around the neck. It was stunning. It was perfect.

"Go try it on." She smiled. Jackie beamed and nodded before running off to the dressing rooms. Natalie smiled and walked behind her, sitting down and waiting for her.

After a few moments, Jackie came out of the dressing room. The dress came up to Jackie's knee. She smiled and did a small twirl to show off the rest of the dress. Natalie couldn't help but smile. She looked beautiful. That was definitely the dress.

"Well?" Jackie wondered hopefully.

"That's the dress." Nat said. Jackie smiled and went to look at herself in the mirror. She actually looked quite shocked for a moment when she first saw herself. Natalie smiled and stood by her.

"You look beautiful." She said. Jackie smiled and turned to look at her.

"You really think so?" she asked. Natalie chuckled and nodded.

"Of course." She said. "I know a certain little brother of mine who won't know what hit him." Jackie couldn't help but blush at that comment.

"I actually think I have a pair of shoes that will go really well with It." she said. Natalie grinned.

"Perfect. Why don't you go get changed. We'll pay for it then grab a hot chocolate to celebrate." She said. Jackie smiled and nodded her head before disappearing back into the dressing room.

oOoOoOoOoOo

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wonka. I just don't think we can help you here." The assistant said. Willy sighed sadly. They had been around the entire caryard but there was nothing that resembled the truck from the picture.

"That's alright. I appreciate your help." Willy said. He shook the man's hand before he started to walk off to find Charlie. He was about to head off when he heard a voice behind him.

"Willy! Willy, I think I found it!" Charlie called out. Both Willy and the sales assistant turned and saw the young boy running towards them. Charlie eventually made his way towards them and stopped right in front of the two, almost knocking them over.

"I...think...it's..." he panted. Willy put his hand on his shoulder in a bit to calm him down.

"Breathe Charlie." he said. The two waited until he was breathing normally once more. "Now, what were you saying?"

"I think...I found it..." Charlie said. "There's a red truck around the side of the yard."

"That one?" the assistant wondered. "Surely you don't want that. It's really not worth that much...we're not even sure how far it'll make it."

"That doesn't matter." Willy said. "We'll take it."

The assistant looked at the two with curiosity for a moment before nodding and going to organise paperwork for them. Willy smiled, pleased with their work and turned to Charlie.

"Charlie...do you know anything about cars or trucks?" he wondered.

"A little." Charlie said. Willy nodded.

"Good."

oOoOoOoOoOo

Natalie was curled up on the couch in her room. Her shopping trip with Jackie was a total success. They had managed to find the dress much sooner than they expected and then went window shopping for a bit, then out for a late lunch to celebrate. When they got back, it was about four thirty, and Nat had just headed upstairs to relax for a little while. Jackie decided that she would wait downstairs with the family for Charlie to return.

Natalie was now upstairs in her room, determined to relax for a little while. Her nose was buried once again in a book. This time, she was reading Phantom of the Opera. She was about to turn the page when a pair of hands covered her eyes.

"Guess who?" the voice asked. Nat grinned to herself and pretended to think about it.

"Uhh...The Phantom of the Opera?" she wondered jokingly. Willy chuckled from behind her and removed his hands. Nat smiled and turned around to face him.

"Hey." She smiled as he leaned down to give her a kiss.

"I really like your hair short." Willy said. Natalie smiled and ran her hand through her hair.

"Really?" she asked. Willy nodded.

"Thanks." Nat said. "How was your day?"

"It was alright." Willy shrugged as he sat down next to her. "Yours?"

"Jackie and I found the perfect bridesmaids dress for her." Natalie smiled, closing her book.

"You did?" Willy wondered. "I thought you were just getting ideas?"

"That's what we were planning, but we saw this dress and just...loved it." Nat said. She closed her book and put it on the coffee table in front of her.

"So, we had nothing planned for tonight. I was thinking curl up with a movie, maybe some popcorn...what do you think?" Nat asked. Willy smiled and thought about it for a moment before shaking his head.

"As lovely as that sounds, my dear...I have a better idea." He said. Natalie cocked her head to the side.

"Oh?" she asked. Willy smiled and nodded.

"I've got a surprise for you." he said. Natalie sat up straighter and smiled.

"Surprise?" she asked happily. Willy couldn't help but laugh at her enthusiasm.

"Yep." He said. Natalie sat there quietly, waiting for him to go on. Willy looked at her shocked.

"No more questions? No asking what the surprise is?" he wondered incredulously. Nat shook her head and shrugged.

"I know your policy on surprises, so why bother?" she asked. Willy grinned and nodded.

"So, what do I have to do?" Nat asked, resting her chin on her hand. Willy checked his watch.

"Just go get dressed." He said. "I've got everything else ready."

"Anything in particular I need to dress up for?" Nat wondered. Willy shook his head.

"Anything comfortable." He said. Natalie smiled and nodded.

"Meet you downstairs?" she asked. Willy nodded. Natalie kissed his cheek and got up to get ready. As soon as the bathroom door was closed, Willy packed a few things before heading downstairs.

oOoOoOoOoOo

"So what time are they arriving?" Noah asked. He, the kids and Willy were sitting around the table down at the house, waiting for Natalie to get ready.

"Alice said that their flight was landing about seven thirty, so they should be here about eight-ish." Charlie said.

"Meaning we have a little less than an hour before their plane lands." Jackie said.

"But I'll try and keep Nat away for as long as possible." Willy said.

"It'll be lovely to have them all here together again." Grandma Josephine said happily. Helena was in the kitchen, packing up some things for the two to take with them.

"This really is a wonderful thing you three are doing for Natalie." She said, bringing over a picnic basket for Willy. He smiled in thanks and resumed talking with the two younger ones.

"Charlie, would you be able to go and pack everything into the truck please?" he asked. Charlie nodded and took the basket out to the truck.

A few moments later, Natalie walked through the door. She was dressed in a pair of old faded blue jeans and a grey sweater dress.

"Okay, I'm ready for whatever it is." She said. Willy smiled and got up from the table. The two said their goodbyes and headed out of the house.

"So, when do I get to know this surprise?" Natalie wondered. Willy sighed dramatically.

"I knew you'd start asking questions eventually." He said. Nat couldn't do anything but shrug. "Fortunately, part of it happens to be outside right now."

"Okay, now I'm really confused." Natalie said. Willy chuckled and took her hand as he lead her down the hall and out to the factory grounds.

They stopped when they reached the door to outside. Willy reached inside his pocket and pulled out the blindfold. Natalie sighed and turned around so that he could cover her eyes. When she could no longer see, she felt Willy take her hand and lead her outside. He guided her down the steps and down to the ground.

"Alright, are you ready?" Willy asked. Natalie nodded her head enthusiastically. Willy smiled as he slowly untied the blindfold from her eyes.

"Alright, open." He said. Natalie did as she was told and opened her eyes. Her mouth dropped open as she saw the red truck parked in front of her.

"No way." She said. She turned around to face her fiancé. "You got a truck?"

"Well no." He said. Natalie looked at him in confusion. The truck was parked right in front of them. Willy sighed and pulled a set of keys out of his pocket. In one swift movement, he threw them at Natalie, who caught them.

"Technically I got you a truck." He said. Natalie looked at him in complete and utter disbelief. She looked down at the keys in her hand and smiled. She threw her arms around him in a hug.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" she said. Willy laughed and hugged her back before setting her back on the ground.

"You're welcome." He said. "Although, I can't really take all the credit. Charlie was the one who found it."

"That little... I gotta go say thank you." Nat said. She started to turn towards the door, but Willy held onto her hand.

"No, you can't. Not right now." he said. Nat looked at him confused. But Willy simply smiled and walked over to the truck, pulling her along with him. In the bed of the truck, there was a picnic basket and a couple of blankets. Natalie's smile widened as she realised what was going on.

"You see, you can't right now, because we are on our way out." Willy smiled. Natalie smiled at him and shook her head. Even after almost four years, he still never ceased to amaze her. She looked down at the keys in her hand.

"Can I drive?" she asked. Willy smiled and nodded. Natalie grinned and raced around to the diver's side. Willy laughed as he got into the passenger side. Nat put the key in the ignition and started the car.

"So where are we going?" she asked. Willy thought about it for a second. He had to come up with the perfect place for a picnic. He was supposed to do it before, but the whole 'finding the truck thing' kinda took a little more time than expected. Natalie giggled at his response.

"Don't worry. I know the perfect place." She said. The factory gates opened and the two drove down the street in the new truck.

oOoOoOoOoOo

"So, is this the dress?" Helena wondered. Jackie nodded her head.

"Yeah, we were about to leave the store when we found it." she said. "And I have shoes to match it."

Jackie handed Helena the bag from the store. She carefully took the dress out of the bag to have a look at it.

"It's beautiful." She said. "Can we see how it looks?"

Jackie nodded her head as Helena handed her the dress and she went to get changed. While she was gone, Charlie came back.

"Have they gone?" Helena asked. Charlie nodded.

"Nat's reaction was fantastic. I can't wait to see her when the others arrive." He said. He looked around for a moment.

"Where'd Jackie go?" he asked. Helena smiled.

"She's just putting her dress on to show us all." She said. Charlie nodded and sat down at the table with his father.

"Mrs. Bucket, do you think you could help me with the zip?" Jackie called out. Helena smiled and wandered over to the bedroom door to help.

A few moments later, the door opened once again and Helena walked out, shortly followed by Jackie. Charlie's eyes widened as looked at her. She looked incredible.

"You look simply beautiful, Jackie." Noah smiled. Jackie blushed and did a little spin to show off the dress.

"Thank you, Mr. Bucket." She said. Everyone agreed that it was the perfect dress. Jackie looked up at Charlie and smiled at his reaction. He smiled and nodded to her, telling her that he agreed. Jackie smiled and headed back to the bedroom to get changed once more.

oOoOoOoOoOo

The sun was starting to set as Natalie and Willy reached their destination. As they got out of the car, Willy noticed that they were in a small park area by a lake.

"Where are we?" he asked. Natalie smiled

"A very special place." She said as she climbed up onto the hood of the truck and rested against the windshield. Willy was a little confused, but followed just the same.

"Beautiful view." He said. Natalie smiled and nodded.

"Not many people know about this place. My dad brought mum here when they were dating." she said. "As did, Grandpa Joe and Grandma Josephine and, through sheer coincidence, Grandpa George and Grandma Georgina."

"Wow." Willy said. "So, everyone had brought their girlfriend or boyfriend here?" Natalie shook her head.

"Not exactly. They've only brought the person that they love more than anything." She said. "Who also happened to be the person they married. And, all three of those couples have been together ever since."

Willy smiled as he wrapped his arm around Natalie's shoulders, bringing her closer to him. Nat sighed contently, resting her head on his shoulder.

"You think this place is lucky?" Willy wondered. Nat smiled and shrugged.

"I guess so." She said. Willy smiled as the two sat and watched the sun set. After a while, Willy thought of something.

"Do you think Charlie will bring Jackie here?" he asked. Natalie smiled and snuggled into his chest.

"I hope so."

oOoOoOoOoOo

At about eight thirty that night, a black cab pulled up in front of the factory. A few muffled voices were heard from inside before the front passenger door opened and a man with dark brown hair stepped out, mumbling.

"I'm getting the damn bags." He said, walking around to the boot of the cab. The cab driver popped the boot and the man started lifting suitcases out of the car.

"How much did she bring?" he mumbled to himself. His solitude was disrupted when the backdoor of the cab opened and another man got out. He sighed to himself and grabbed another suitcase.

"Your sister is unbelievable." He said. His friend laughed.

"She's your wife." He said. Tim rolled his eyes and shut the boot before walking around to pay the driver. After a moment, the last passenger got out of the car. Alice pushed her long brown hair out of her face before reaching in and pulling a small child out of the car.

"You two got everything?" she asked, slinging the baby bag over her shoulder. The two guys grunted in response as they lugged the bags over to the factory gates. The three looked up at the factory in amazement.

It had been nine long years since the three of them were had seen the factory up close. Of course, they passed it everyday after school and on their way home and such, but they hadn't really looked at it up close since that day when Natalie jumped the fence.

"I still can't believe it." Daniel said.

"What that we're here?" Tim wondered. Daniel shook his head.

"No... I can' believe that I lost the bet. I owe Nat 5 bloody pounds!" he said. The other two looked at him in disbelief before laughing.

"But seriously though. I can't believe we're back here...after so long." Alice said. The guys smiled and nodded in agreement as they looked up at the factory before them, like they had done so many years before.

"It's good to be home." Tim said, wrapping his arm around Alice's shoulders. A small sneeze was heard and the three looked at the small child on Alice's hip.

"Let's get inside. Holly's gonna freeze." Alice said as she wrapped the blanket tighter around the two year old. The guys nodded and picked up their bags. They followed Willy's instructions and walked around to the back of the factory. They walked inside and headed around to the front.

oOoOoOoOoOo

"I honestly can't eat another thing." Willy said. "Why does your mum insist on packing so much?"

The two were sitting in the bed of the truck after finishing their delicious picnic that Helena packed for them. The radio in the cab of the truck was playing softly in the background. Natalie smiled and packed the rubbish back into the basket.

"Well, she's a mother for one." She said as. "But maybe because she never could really give u so much before, she's making up for it now."

"Hmm...That or she wanted us to have a nice dinner one a nice night." Willy suggested. Natalie smiled and leaned back against Willy, resting her head against his chest.

The stars up above them were shining brighter than Natalie had ever seen them. They looked like tiny diamonds on a see of dark velvet. The moon was shining bright up above them, acting like a spotlight on the lake.

"Willy?" she asked.

"Yeah?"

"Can you tell me about all the places you've been?" Nat asked. Willy smiled and kissed the top of her head.

"Haven't I already told you most of them?" he asked. Natalie smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

"I never tire of hearing them." She said. Willy couldn't help but laugh a little.

"What do you want to hear, my love?" he asked. Natalie thought about it for a moment. It was true, she had probably heard almost all his stories, but she was sure that she could come up with something that he had never told her about.

"Well, have you ever seen anything quite like that?" She asked, pointing to the sky. Willy looked up and smiled at the beauty of the sky.

"Well...perhaps once." He said. "I was in the States at the time, in Georgia." He said. Natalie frowned for a moment.

"Georgia? Isn't that where what's-her-name was from...that Beauregarde girl?" she asked. She saw Willy wince at the memory.

"Sorry." She said. Willy smiled weakly.

"It's okay...though I still flinch every time I hear gum snapping." Willy said. Natalie giggled a little as she looked up at the sky once more. Willy smiled and looked down at her. He could see her blue eyes shining brightly in the moonlight, brighter than any star he had ever seen in his entire life.

"The stars in Georgia were some of the brightest I had ever seen." He said, continuing with his story. Natalie smiled.

"I reckon these could be brighter." She said. "I've never seen anything like them."

"The stars are beautiful...but they can't compare to your eyes." Willy said. Natalie turned to face him.

"What?" she asked. Willy nodded.

"I'm serious. The way your blue eyes shine...they put those Georgia stars to shame." He said. Natalie laughed and rolled her eyes.

"I don't believe you." She said. Willy shrugged.

"Fine, but it's true." He said.

oOoOoOoOoOo

"Whoa."

That was what all three of the new arrivals said as they took their first look of the wonder that was the chocolate room. The change going from a plain white hallway to the sudden explosion of colour had both Tim and Daniel reaching for their sunglasses on more than one occasion.

"Our Natty's marrying a goddamn genius!" Daniel whispered. Alice slapped his shoulder.

"No cursing in front of my baby." She scolded. Her brother smiled apologetically. Alice rolled her eyes as the three of them made their way towards the house.

"Will you check this place out?" Tim said in awe. "I think it's safe to say this is way beyond anything we could have ever thought."

"That's for sure." Daniel said. "I wonder how all this...is that a chocolate waterfall?"

The other two looked and saw the large waterfall in the centre of the room. Daniel's eyes widened as he turned to Tim. The two nodded at each other before both starting to make their way towards the fountain when Alice pulled them back.

"Not so fast you two. We can't go looking around until tomorrow when Willy and Natalie get back, remember?" she said. "Besides, they're expecting us at the house."

The two men sighed as they walked back over and grabbed their bags once again. Alice smirked and handed Holly over to her husband before they all made their way towards the little house in the middle of the room.

"It's good to no some things never change." Tim said as they approached the house. Alice smiled and knocked on the door before opening it.

"Hello?" she asked, opening the door wider.

"Alice!" Helena cried from the kitchen as she saw the three. Alice beamed as they entered the house. Helena stopped what she was doing and ran over, pulling the young woman into a tight hug.

"Look at you, all of you." She said as she hugged Daniel next.

"How are you, doing, Mrs. B?" Daniel wondered. Helena smiled.

"I'm wonderful, dear." She said before turning to Tim.

"Oh my goodness, who is this beautiful little one?" she asked. Tim smiled proudly.

"This is our little girl, Holly." He said. Helena smiled at the little girl in his arms.

"She's simply beautiful. How old is she?" Noah wondered as he hugged Alice.

"Almost 18 months." she said. Helena shook her head before turning and pulling Tim into a hug, careful not to harm Holly.

"That's it." she said. "You all have been away far too long."

"Would you like a cuddle with her?" Tim asked. Helena's eyes lit up as she nodded. She carefully took Holly out of her father's arms. The little girl's big brown eyes lit up as she smiled at Helena.

"Mum, we were wondering when..." Charlie called out as he and Jackie came down the stairs. He stopped instantly when he saw the four newcomers in the room.

"You're here!" he cried out happily. He jumped off the last step and raced over to Alice, giving her a huge hug.

"Charlie Bucket, look at you!" Alice cried out. "I can't believe how grown up you are!"

Charlie beamed and said hello to Tim Daniel and was introduced to Holly.

"So, this must be Jackie, right?" Tim wondered. Jackie smiled shyly. Alice elbowed Charlie to get his attention.

"She's cute." She whispered. Charlie blushed a little as Noah brought around a cup of hot chocolate for everyone. They all sat around the table to catch up on six long years.

oOoOoOoOoOo

Nat and Willy were having a wonderful time. They were just sitting in the bed of the truck, talking, listening and just being together. Natalie sighed contently as she cuddled closer to him, resting her head in the crook of his neck. She listened quietly for any signs of music coming from the radio in the cab.

"I think the radio programs over." She said. Willy frowned a little and sighed.

"Well, that kind of ruins my idea." He said. Natalie raised her eyebrow in confusion.

"Which was?" she asked.

"I was gonna ask you to dance." He said. Natalie smiled.

"We still can." She said. She got up onto her feet and held out her hand to help him up. Willy, not knowing what she was doing, too her hand and was pulled to his feet.

"Well, are you gonna ask me?" Nat asked, resting her hands on her hips. Willy tried to hide his grin and keep a straight face.

"Do you wanna dance with me?" he asked. Natalie smiled.

"Sure."

Willy smiled and walked over to her, with his hand extended.

"Now?" Natalie asked.

"Mmhmm."

"Here?"

"No, not here." Willy replied. Natalie watched him with curiosity as he jumped out of the truck and onto the ground with his arms out to catch her. Natalie smiled as he took her in his arms and lifted her down from the truck.

Once she was settled on the ground, Willy took her hand once more and led her over by the lakeside. The moon once again acting as a spotlight, casting silhouettes of them on the ground as well as their reflection in the lake.

"We don't have any music." Natalie pointed out. Willy sighed and spun her around slowly.

"Well...we'll make some." He said as he pulled her close to him. The two started to dance slowly as Willy began to hum a tune. Natalie smiled as she recognised it. He was humming It's Your Love, one of her favourite Tim McGraw songs.

"You're a terrible singer." She said, giggling softly. Willy smiled and nodded.

"I know." He said. Natalie smiled as she rested her head against his shoulder.

"But I like this song." She said. The two danced for what seemed like forever. It was if time had stopped still or the world had stopped spinning and they were the only two people in existence.

Unfortunately, the two were pulled out of their trance by a sudden sound.

'...FM would like to wish it's listeners a good night as we leave you with this last song.'

Suddenly, a familiar tune filled the air as the two danced. Natalie's eyes widened in shock as she recognised the song.

Dancin' in the dark
Middle of the night
Takin' your heart
And holdin' it tight

Emotional touch
Touchin' my skin
And askin' you to do
What you've been doin' all over again

Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go

It's your love
It just does somethin' to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell I'm under
oh It's your love

"I guess the program wasn't over." Willy smiled.

Better than I was
More than I am
And all of this happened
By takin' your hand

And who I am now
Is who I wanted to be
And now that we're together
I'm stronger than ever
I'm happy and free

Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in, no
And if you asked me why I changed
All I gotta do is say your sweet name

It's your love
It just does somethin' to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell I'm under
oh It's your love

"It's a little creepy." Natalie said. "You start humming that song then it comes on the radio."

"Maybe it's fate." Willy suggested as he dipped her. Natalie smiled.

"Yeah, maybe it is."

Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go

It's your love
It just does somethin' to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell I'm under
oh It's your love
It's your love
It's your love
