A Women's Touch.
Chapter 1: Exploding Nerds!
It had been about two years since Charlie Buckets went to live with Mr. Wonka at his factory. Charlie had become a young man, and as he grew so did his curiosity for things other than candy. He and Mr. Wonka worked very well together since day one, and since then Charlie had become a bit more outgoing, as young men do.
"Charlie? Helloooo, Charlie? … CHARLIE!"
Charlie Buckets snapped out of his daydream. Mr. Wonka repeated his question, "So do you think cherry or strawberry for the Exploding Nerds?" Charlie Stared blankly at him, What the heck are Exploding Nerds?
"Mr. Wonka, If you don't mind me asking, have you ever.. Been .. Kissed?"
Mr. Wonka looked taken aback a bit, but then rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Hmm, No, cant say I have, I never really was interested in women," (Charlie scooted as far away from him as he could.) " I was a bit too preoccupied with candy and such."
Charlie sighed and stared into space. Mr. Wonka studied him curiously. There was obviously something on the boys mind.
"What brought about that question by the way?" Mr. Wonka asked. Charlie looked up at him again and shook his head.
"Nothing in particular, I was just…well, wondering.." Charlie replied quietly. Mr. Wonka quietly examined his expression. Charlie looked at Mr. Wonka and gave him a weak smile.
"I was just, sort of… thinking that, well.. I think that the factory could use a bit of a women's touch." Charlie explained.
"And what made you think that?" Wonka asked looking around at his factory as if inspecting if there was anything wrong with it.
"Well, I was talking to my mother the other day and, well, I realized that she makes everything so cozy and all, so.." Charlie said. Mr. Wonka opened his mouth as if to argue about having a girl help run his factory but then rubbed his chin, furrowing his eyebrows and thinking.
"I don't see how a girl could do my factory any good…," Mr. Wonka started saying but then caught the pleading look on Charlie's face and said "But if that's what you wish for, you're my heir and I believe your old enough to help making decisions so.. Ok" Wonka said.
Charlie grinned happily and turned back to the table where the Exploding Nerds were.
"Cherry" Charlie answered, smiling.
