Chapter 3

Losing Ones Mind Can be Difficult for the Head To Understand

"Oh my…" Aspen whispered clutching the railing by her stairs. Before her was not the white and blue kitchen she had grown accustomed to. No, before her was stainless steel, weird machines and contraptions. This room where she now stood was not anything she could hallucinate for it was far more amazing than anything her 19-year-old mind could conjure up.

She sat on the stairs and felt not carpet but more steel and snapped her head back to see that nothing about this place was hers anymore. Slightly panicked and confused, she stuffed her hands in her pockets and began to feel around for her cell phone, but what she found was not a phone but the golden 'W' she distinctly remembered leaving on her side table.

"How odd…" Aspen whispered, fingering the metal piece.

Just as Aspen went to pull out the ornament a small man walked by and saw her. Both shocked to see each other, they said nothing but stare at one another surprised that each was there. From what Aspen could see, the small man was harmless, in fact she found him cute and charming. He had odd dark hair that was pointed awkwardly away from his head in a large clump; he also had tanned skin and wore a yellow vinyl jumpsuit. The thought crossed her mind to ask the little man where she was and who she might speak to in order to get back home and so she made the decision to communicate with him.

"Hello, my name is Aspen. Where am I?"

The little man jumped at the sound of her voice but did not run or look frightened. She could however, tell that he was cautious of her and how to answer. After a moment or two without a response, Aspen decided to try something else.

"Could you take me to the owner of this place?"

The little man nodded immediately and pulled at her skirt as if to follow him, so she did.

Wonka was very annoyed that he had lost his neck broach. And for all the everlasting gobstoppers in the factory, he couldn't remember where he might have lost it. He had searched his entire factory and came up with nothing.

Wonka eventually decided that it was never going to be found and so gave up and headed to his office. He had not been there long when a small knock sounded at his half door. Indeed he was surprised to have anyone disturbing him since he knew nothing was wrong.

"Enter!" He called, his back facing the door.

Not a moment later he heard small footsteps approach his desk and into view came an Oompa Loompa, "Yes, what is it." Wonka asked cheerily, a large cheesy smile plastered across his pale face.

The Oompa Loompa made many hand motions and then crossed his hands across his chest. Wonka did the same.

"A girl you say?" Wonka giggle and nodded, seemingly interested at the prospect of a strange person in his factory.

"Well this should be fun!"

Willy grabbed his top hat and cane and followed the Oompa Loompa to where the girl waited.

Aspen was instructed to wait in a lobby type room by the little man, of course by now she had grown suspicious of it and thought it reminded her of an Oompa Loompa from the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie, although technically they didn't exist. Then again, neither did Willy Wonka but she saw him with her own eyes.

Aspen's thoughts were interrupted when the little man entered the room again. He looked about the room and spotted her then he turned and left again.

"How odd?" She mumbled, fanning herself lightly. It was so hot in this place!

"Gosh, it 's so damn hot in this place, don't they know about air conditioners?"

"Of course, but the Oompa Loompas can't stand the cold!"

Aspen's head shot up and her eyes locked with the speaker's.

"You!" he yelled pointing at her comically.

"You!" she yelled pointing back.

"How did you get here?" Wonka asked, his eyes narrowing down to small slits.

"How am I supposed to know! You're the genius Wonka. You figure it out!" Aspen crossed her arms over her chest and huffed. She was in Wonka's Factory somehow, a factory that wasn't supposed to exist. How the hell DID she get here?

The chocolatier's eyebrows rose when she said his name and he began to look a bit nervous.

"How do you know my name little girl?"

Aspen shot Wonka an evil glare, something she never expected to do a man she was completely in love with. "I am NOT a little girl buddy! I'm 19 and for your information anyone who doesn't know your name must live under a rock!"

Wonka giggled nervously and turned to leave, "Wait! Where are you going?"

Wonka turned his head slightly and smiled one of his large toothy grins, "Back to work of course! Busy, busy you see. I haven't the time to dilly dally!"

"Aren't you going to help me?" Aspen sounded a bit desperate now, and she hated it.

Wonka looked thoughtful for a moment before he turned back to her still smiling widely, "No!"

And with that the chocolate wiz turned and left poor Aspen alone in the lobby of the Chocolate Factory, alone, very upset and confused.

As calm and uncaring as Wonka seemed to be, he really wasn't. In fact he was quite bothered that people knew who he was, granted he knew it was a given since his chocolate was so famous.

Willy looked at the Oompa Loompa beside him; it was frowning disapprovingly but knew not to challenge his boss's decision so it walked off to continue with his duties. Willy slightly miffed by what happened in the room was too distracted to care. He made way to leave when something swung open the large door in front of him knocking the chocolatier to the ground.

"Oh my! Mr.Wonka? I'm so sorry! What were you doing standing behind a door?" It was Aspen and she was red with embarrassment and leaning down beside the fallen Wonka.

"Well dear girl, since it is my factory I don't think it is any business of yours why I would wish to stand behind a door. If I want to stand behind a door and do nothing as I was doing then I shall. I didn't expect some crazy woman to run through it and hit me of course!"

Aspen frowned and stood up, "You are a real jerk you know that! For someone who makes candy you sure have a sour attitude!"

Wonka stood up and came face to face with the brunette, "Hey! Not all candy is sweet yah know?"

"Obviously not and neither are all men! Looks sweet on the outside but is bitter on the inside!" Aspen turned to leave; crushed that Will Wonka was not how she imagined and fed up of his childishness. She would find a way out of here herself!

"Yeah well, lucky for you there is nothing sweet looking about you on the outside or inside!"

Aspen turned back to face Wonka, tears streaming down her face and shocking Willy into silence, " I thought you were different but you turned out to be nothing but a crazy, stuck up jerk! I don't even know how I got here and all I asked is for a little help to get home and you act like I'm some little flea unworthy of your precious time! Well you know what?"

Wonka blinked but said nothing, " Here!" Aspen reached into her pocket and pulled out the broach and threw it at Wonka's chest, "You dropped it outside on the path where I ran into you! I don't need your help and I take back ever thinking you were good looking and kind!"

Aspen went to lave but stopped and turned back once again, " And another thing, your candy tastes like shit!"

With that Aspen stormed out of the room leaving a very shocked and ashamed chocolatier.
