Wonka replied hurredly, as he pushed the button to open the glass elevator doors. "The rockets still are able to compensate for the extra weight, but they cant keep compensating for awhile without stressing the fuel tube. I don't get it, it was working fine before we left Atlanta. Lets push the steamer trunk out. It's waterproof, and without the extra weight, we might be able to save the elevator."
Fortunatly they were able to get the steamer trunk out in time before it hit the water, but not in enough time to stop the elevator from crashing into the Atlantic Ocean. However both the air filled glass elevator, and the waterproof steamer trunk floated in the water. Charlie asked as the elevator calmed down, "Can you get the rockets working again?"
Wonka pushed the open button and as the elevator's door which now faced the sky opened. After examining the rockets for a moment, he said, "Fraid not, kiddo. Water logged. I'm going to get some rope out of the steamer trunk and tie the trunk to the elevator."
After Willy Wonka swam over to the steamer trunk, He opened it up and saw a total mess which was to be expected after the ride this trunk just took. All the clothes and equipment were in a mess everywhere. He said to himself, "Rope, Rope, whose got the rope." and allthough he didn't expect an answer, he got one as a hand emerged from the gigantic pile of clothes, carring the rope. He said, "Ah, thank you. Now with that problem solved, WHO ARE YOU?" Violet promptly emerged from the clothes, trying her best to put on puppy-dog eyes, and a begging smile.
"I'm Soorryyy."
As the three castaways finished tying the elevator to the steamer trunk, Willy Wonka said in his best attempt of a stern voice, "Now young lady for your punishment, you are to go into the elevator and take a time out to think about what you did."
Violet replied, "Why?"
"BECAUSE I SAID SO!"
"What's that mean?"
Willy Wonka was suddenly speechless, and said, "Hmm, I don't know. I never asked my father that question, when we had this conversation."
Violet was about to protest more, but lost her will when she saw this extremly somber look of dissapointment on Charlie's face. She said defeated, "Yeah fine."
As night was beginning to fall, Violet brought herself to climb out of the elevator. Wonka was allready asleep, and Charlie was watching the sunset. Violet said, "Still not talking to me?"
"Why'd you come?" Charlie asked with a hint of a angry tone.
Violet sat next to him and said, "I needed adventure. Life had struck me down, and now that I was redeemed, I needed to really live again. And at home was not a place I could have done it. All the people I thought were my friends had betrayed me. All I had was my mom, and I've never been able to fully relate to her. She's allways played the role of my agent a lot more than she played the role of my mother."
Charlie replied, "I understand to a certain point. Now, Why'd you kiss me? Just saying thanks would have been okay."
Violet smirked and said, "Don't flatter yourself pal. So I like showing my apreciation physically. And you did quite a lot for me despite the fact that I earlier mistreated you."
It took a few more seconds of watching the sunset for Charlie to say, "So you need a friend? Cause I've been wanting one for awhile."
Violet turned to smile, but her smile faided and turned to excitement when she noticed something off Charlie's shoulder and yelled out "LAND HO!" Sure enough, there was a small land mass not far to the north.
Violet's shout waked Willy Wonka, who said."Now don't get overly excited children, it might be unihabited. He opened the trunk and pulled out a sextant, and as he took his bearings, he said, "That can't be right, there's nothing there on the map! Maybe Bermuda? No were too southwest.
Charlie inturrupted by saying, "Yeah, and last I checked, Bermuda doesn't have mushrooms the size of builings on it." Sure enough as they neared the island, he saw that the interior of the island was surrounded by a stone wall, and inside the wall were the most giant mushrooms in the world littering the island. However there did seem to be people on the beach, and under a closer inspection, he saw that most of the larger mushrooms seemed to have been hollowed out, with windows, and the people seemed to be using them for their homes.
As the castaways neared the shore, the people on the beach called out, "NEWCOMERS!" And a gate opened up in the wall and a person wearing a perfectly black suit bowed to them as we arose.
He than started speaking in an officious tone, which made the three castaways believe that he was reading from a mental cue card. "Welcome newcomers to the Isle of Mushrooms, friendliest of the Isles of Mystery. You're probably confused as to what's going, on like why isn't these islands on any chart and let me tell you now, so you can come to grips with it sooner, you have just joined the many to disappear into the Bermuda Triangle, probably never to return agian."
