Disclaimer: If I ever own Wonka-sama's chocolate factory, I would have wanted to whip the Oompa Loompas to make chocolate faster, but no! It belongs to Mr. Dahl and Tim Burton (film remake).

Well, that has said, on to the first chapter, only in third-person view!

1st Chapter: Beyond the Monochrome Existence

"Hello mother," came a very calm voice of Julian, holding a bunch of lilies. "I didn't forget you when I was away a long time ago. I've even brought your favourite bunch of flowers."

It was a cold white winter, with snow dropping every second in the cemetery, but it did not bother Julian even one bit. Even when he wore a jet-black coat with a pure cream-white scarf wrapped around his delicate neck, he felt neither warm nor cold around the weather. Just standing there looking at his mother's grave with the statue of the Virgin Mary on top of the grey marble tombstone that read in gold lettering:

'MARIA VEOLA WONKA

Beloved mother to Julian and William Wonka and wife to Wilbur Wonka

May her soft soul rest in peace to Heaven'

He placed her mother's favourite lilies next to the tombstone and began to pray quietly. Not a single snowdrop has fallen since his prayer and once it has ended, he began to speak with her, as if her presence was here, listening to him.

"Mother, I came to talk to you about some things that I've wished to ask you, before you went away." He said in a sad, yet calm voice with a single tear running down his cheeks. "I know that boys shouldn't weak themselves when they become strong, but I can't stop crying, even when I smile."

"I know you care for me, but lately, I don't know what has happened to my younger brother, William. Many times, I have tried to ask many people, but it ended in failure. I don't even know what he looks like now. Maybe he has the same violet eyes as you and me or maybe the same face as dad's. Come to think of it, many people that came to see me mistakenly said that I look like that person 'Willy Wonka'. However, I said no politely to them and I think once I finished my appointment with them.

"I don't even know if this 'Willy' is my younger brother or just a non-relative person with the same surname. I wished I would have tasted his amazing chocolate bars and confectionaries, but you already know I'm allergic to sugar and chocolate, due to a rash accident as a toddler. Well, at least dad is happy that the cavities won't ruin my teeth, since he's a dentist. But as for William, I'm not sure he's allergic to them as well, but that's very unlikely." With one sigh, he looked up at the sky and made one wish:

"I wish I could see my younger brother and dad again. See them if they are okay without you."

With that one wish made he sat down at a snow-covered bench that was opposite to his mother's grave.

Sitting down at the bench, Julian took out his silver pocket watch from his dark navy blue jacket that was underneath his coat and began to open. There was picture of his mother with a beautiful face with violet eyes and long dark brown hair. In her fragile arms from her simple blue dress was a baby William sleeping and next to her was the younger version of Julian himself and next to him was his dad, Wilbur, but behind the picture was a sweet mechanical chime of a tune soothing to anyone who could hear it. With that, Julian smiled at the picture as this was his only clue to find his younger brother and fell asleep.

He dreamt that he was in a field of many different flowers standing there waiting for someone. Finally, he saw a glowing person and ran towards him shouting to him:

"William? Are you here?" However, there was no reply to the person facing his back, but he turned around in a pale stance with one line, which made Julian stopped:

"I've finally found you. Brother."

But then there was another voice that was not from this dream, a voice that was from another world.

"Good morning starshine. The Earth says hello."

Julian woke up very slowly, not able to hear that voice from reality and only he could see blurred images from his eyes that he saw a person with a top hat on his head wearing a plum coat.

What's this person doing at my mother's grave? He thought to himself. Did he say 'Good morning starshine. The Earth says hello'? Rubbing his eyes and sitting up, Julian was still holding his pocket watch that chimed a soothing tune, but ignored it to close. He saw this person clearly, kneeling down silently as if he was in a trance. Only the chime was heard that broke the silence, then suddenly he stood up and turned around to him.

What was the most surprising to Julian was not only there was a pale face that looks so similar to his, but also there were the same violet eyes that he and William have. His thoughts were running with questions whether this was a joke or was it another step to find something he wants to find importantly.

"What's that beautiful tune you're hearing?" was all the eccentric, yet so familiar person asked Julian, which he stopped staring, shook his head and answered in such a calm way that he closed his pocket watch without noticing.

"Um, I'm sorry, but could you repeat the question please?" he answered.

"That beautiful tune…what is it? It sounds so similar to many years ago."

"Oh, do you mean this pocket watch? It is a beautiful soothing song that my late mother used to sing to me and to remind me that even though if I felt uncomfortable without her or when I felt homesick when I was a child, I can listen to this chime as if her soft presence is here to comfort me." The man in a plum suit said nothing, but he felt another flashback was coming into him, yet for some unknown reason the only flashback he had was a mist with voices. Julian knew that this person needed more answers to as why he was in such a sad place.

"You're probably wanted to ask me why I am here in this cemetery." Julian explained with such confident, yet calm and mature voice. "Besides visiting my mother's grave, I also wanted to ask her some questions that I want to know, even though she is dead. Oh, by the way, would you like to sit? it'll be a long explanation to you."

"Oh, okay." Said the eccentric and he sat besides this silver-haired person. Then, Julian explained everything. He explained about his father, though he didn't thoroughly said about his father was a dentist, how his mother has died and one vital clue that Julian would like to see, but has never gotten the chance to look for years, since he moved away from his parents to his relatives. His younger brother, William.

With one keyword of what Julian said, the eccentric person's mind started to kick, yet there was no 'visual' flashback for him to remember. Just those voices in the past that he could hear a very long time ago inside his head.

Mummy?

Yes, dear?

Am I going to miss him?

Yes, but don't worry, he'll be always be here with you inside your heart. Maybe when you grow older, you can visit him every time.

Okay. It's a promise! Once when I'm a grown-up person I'll see him.

Promise? He thought. Why have I heard that familiar voice before? Why there isn't a flashback to me?

It have been minutes, maybe an hour since the two young men met since Julian laid his bunch of lilies onto his mother's grave and the strange man laid his confectionaries onto the same grave. The cloudy white sky was about to produce tears of snowdrops. By the time it was snowing, Julian stood up began to walk away, but stopped to forget something.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. Call me just Julian for now and contact me should you be very ill, because I'm a doctor that treats sick people" Julian remarked.

"Oh right. Can I asked you one question, before you leave?" asked the eccentric man.

"Yes. What is it?"

"Why is there a bunch of lilies next to my mother's grave?"

"Hmm, because someone who is very close to her placed her very favourite flower and left without a trace." Lied Julian

"Oh, but you before you go, I should warn that…" before he would say anything, Julian walk away from the strange person, until Julian hit the glass surface of the Glass Elevator and fell on his back with the occasional 'ouch' from his voice. "…I parked the Glass Elevator here."

Later that night as Julian arrived at his house, he was putting his feet up and read his favourite novel, 'The Melancholy Girl' by Reiko Sanada, which was a big hit in Japan and it was about a Japanese schoolgirl, who was searching for her older sister, only finding the one she has befriended a person was her older sister, but never realised that fact. Julian wondered, if that strange person that he met in the cemetery could be a vital clue to find his younger brother.

Maybe, he thought to himself. Maybe that person could be the person could have some connection with William, but why do I have the feeling that strange man looks closely like him?

The next morning, as Julian woke up for a nice shower and breakfast, he went to the front door in the hallway, where he usually picked up the letters to find some usually water bills, his free bi-monthly subscription of the Cambridge Alumni magazine and some useless advertisements to win some big prizes. However, something was unusual for him as he found a golden envelope with his name and address.

He thought to himself in surprise. Strange, how could an envelope be delivered here and how did it know where I live? Shaking his head , he opened the envelope and read the letter. Much to his shock, this letter was from Willy Wonka.

Willy Wonka? I thought he was locked from the factory and never came out to the outside world again. Why would write a letter to me? I'm just a doctor. By the time he finished reading the letter, he re-read the letter again only more slowly to analyze:

Dear Julian,

You have been invited to take a tour of my Chocolate Factory, so be sharp this morning at 10 O'clock. Come alone and tell no one that you are going here.

Yours truly,

Willy Wonka

P.S. I have been thinking about your explanation yesterday when we met in the cemetery. I may not be much in use to you, but I can help you to find your younger brother. And by the way, one of my 'assistants' is very sick and he needs your help, so bring your medical equipment with you.

By the time he finished reading the letter, he was gobsmacked that the strange person he met was actually Willy Wonka himself. However, one question did stick to his mind. Why did Willy Wonka visited his mother's grave? Did he have some connections with her? Desperately finding some answers he needed to find William, he went upstairs, got changed, packed his medical equipment, locked the front door and find Willy's Chocolate Factory, which the map was provided inside the envelope.

I don't know what's going on with this, but somehow, I finally found some clues to find William…Julian thought with a sincere smile…and maybe dad. They've got to be there somewhere, with the help of Willy Wonka.

Author's Notes: 1st chapter done and Julian's off to a great start of finding his younger brother and father (Wilbur Wonka). BTW, when I was trying to find a name for Julian and Willy's mother, Maria's middle name came from a PS2 RPG called 'Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana' with a character named 'Veola' and so I said 'yeah! That could be a great middle name for her. If you want more info on Maria's quick profile, see the upcoming next chapter. I'm not bothered with fanart, but if anyone wants to put Julian fanarts or anything that's Wonka, you can post through my homepage, via clicking my username.

On another note, the reason why I made Willy a bit more normal than the 2005 film is that he only met Julian for the first time, yet Julian didn't even ask for his name so that would mean creating tension for Willy, where he couldn't have those flashbacks, yet he did remember them a long time ago through voices. Whew! I think I've written too much, so I'd better stop writing, otherwise I'll be ranting about how the film remake was my opinion better than the 70's film and how the author really hated the latter.

And before you asked any more questions, no, you can't find and/or buy the book, 'The Melancholy Girl' by Reiko Sanada, because I made that up as I go along with the story. It's like that picture book from Chobits (manga/anime series by CLAMP, so go get the manga volumes and/or anime DVDs, if you're interested).
