Sooooooooo, here you go:

After a long day of work, the Titans were coming back home. They had gone from place to place, from house to house, trying to find some clues that might explain how, and why the children were disappearing -since no one believed Robin's theory- and where could those children be. They had made no progress whatsoever.
First, they had gone to the Gloops' house. Both Mr. And Mrs. Gloop were big, round fellas, and half the time they spoke in German. Mrs. Gloop had been very upset about her "little baby" disappearing, and was almost in a state of shock, so it had been impossible to interrogate her. They then proceeded to interrogate Mr. Gloop, who had turned to be a butcher. Cyborg had been so excited to see all that meat, that he had eaten even the meat mincer; when Mr. Gloop had persecuted them out of the house, brandishing a large butcher knife, he had yelled so loud that even Hitler would have been intimidated.
Next they had gone to the Salt Mansion, but they didn't get the chance to interrogate anyone either. Mrs. Salt was totally drunk, to the point of throwing up on Starfire, and when Mr. Salt had seen Star wearing all that make up, covered on vomit and beating the hell out of Mrs. Salt, he had thought she was a hooker, and had ran out of sight, scared to death for some reason.
Then there were the Beauregards. Mrs. Beauregard had said her husband was not home, and the whole time they had been interrogating her, she had been trying to hit on Robin, which had been extremely weird. Robin had got annoyed to the point of accidentally slapping Mrs. Beauregard, and next thing the Titans knew, their leader was fighting the housewife, who had turned out to be black belt in everything.
The Teavees, the next couple, didn't seem too preocupied about their son's disappearance. Mrs. Teavee had kept rambling about how intelligent her lil' Mike was, while Mr. Teavee had played video games with BB the whole afternoon. BB won every time, and the bald, slim man had asked for revenge every time. When the Titans had finally announced they had to leave, Mr. Teavee had started crying.
Finally, they had gone to the Buckets house. It wasn't much of a house as it was a crooked hut with one room out of the City. The family was really poor: they only had one bed, in which the four grandparents slept, Mr. Bucket was unemployed, and, while Mrs. Bucket was devastated by her missing son, she still managed to make some cabbage soup for dinner. Such a sad picture had affected Raven so much, that she had blown the whole place up.
The only pattern they could have noticed, was the fact that in every single one of the kids' rooms, there were empty WONKA(tm) Chocolate bar wrappings all over the floor. But of course, they didn't know this, because the first one to enter the room was always Cyborg, and when he saw the wrappings, he licked them, and when there was not the single bit of chocolate on them, he ate the wrappings.
"Well… uh… I bet we will have better luck tomorrow." Said Robin.
"Shut up, man." Said BB. He was playing with his gameboy, and didn't even look where he was going.
"Well… better call it a night-what is this?"
They had just gone inside the living room, where a big wooden crate was awaiting for them. Robin picked up a small card sticking to it, and read the flourishing red letters:
A gift to the Teen Titans, protectors of Jump City, from a friend
WILLY WONKA
PS: Don't eat them all at once!
"How did this thing get here?" Said Robin, turning the card, as to see if there was more written on the back.
"Who cares, man? His sweets are AWESOME!" Cyborg was already destroying the crate. Inside were what looked like a hundred chocolate bars. "THEY'RE MINE!" The bionic teen said, grabbing half of the bars and stuffing them in his mouth.
"Wait! Don't do that!" Shouted Robin. "They might be poisoned!"
"Easy, Robin." Called Raven. "He has already stuffed half a dozen down his throat without dropping dead yet. I guess they're fine." Raven was holding one of the bars with a rather reluctant look on her face. The truth was, she was curious about these chocolates. She didn't do sweets much, but she had heard about them.
Meanwhile, BB was watching Cyborg devouring the bars with a horrified expression.
"Oh, sorry, man." Said Cyborg, taking another bar and offering it to the changeling. "Here, have a bit of glory."
"DUDE! Are you crazy? Do you know what they use to make chocolate? MILK! And where does milk come from? COWS! Those poor animals, enslaved to do whatever men wants them to-"
"SHUT UP!" Cyborg said, stuffing the bar inside BB's mouth. "And you too!" He grabbed another bar and stuffed it into Starfire's mouth, who had remained silent to the moment.
"Friend Cyborg! That was not a nice thing to do!" She said, taking a bite of the chocolate and pulling the rest out of her mouth. "Besides, I do not wish to eat the chocolate! I brings fat, and pimps, and-and…"
She was looking at her bitten chocolate with great interest. Then, she started eating it furiously, with a great smile on her face.
"Not bad…" Said Robin, eating one himself.
"I still prefer waffles, tough." Said Raven, with sarcasm in her voice.
"Why, hello, Titans! Glad to see you're enjoying my treats!"
Everyone turned their heads from where the high voice had come from. There, on the giant TV screen, was a slim white-skinned man, wearing a red jacket and a black top hat. And he had a funny haircut.
"Well, look at that, Star was right." Said Raven. "Chocolate DOES bring pimps."
"C'mon, Slade! Take off that stupid costume, I know it's you!"
The man on the screen seemed a bit put out by the boy wonder's words, but a second later he smiled in a way that made everyone shiver, and continued:
"I'm not Slade, and I don't know what you're talking about, my boy! I'm Willy Wonka, and I came here to invite you to spend a whole day with me in my factory!"
"Uh…" Robin looked back at his team mates. They were as weirded out as him. "Thanks, but… we're really busy. We… can't."
"Oh, but you don't really have an option!" Said Wonka, showing his white teeth again. "You see, those chocolate bars you just ate, had one very special ingredient added to them…"
"Love?" Asked BB.
"NO! Erm… I mean, no, you silly boy!" Suddenly, Wonka giggled, making everyone back up a bit. "It will make you sleep! In fact, you will be all snoring on the floor in about… five… four… three…"
PLUMP
"HEY! What are you doing on the floor already? You weren't supposed to fall asleep until I said ONE! Now get up! Get up, you-oh, well. At least the job is done..."
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Suddenly, music started playing. It was odd music, as thought from a circus or something.
"Uh… What happened?"
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka, the amazing chocolatier…
Robin opened his eyes and closed them again. Wherever he was, it was moving, and the bunch of singing puppets he had seen passing at a great speed had made him feel dizzy.
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka, everybody give a cheer
(Hooray!)
"Hey, Titans! Titans! Wake up!"
He's modest, clever, and so smart, he barely can restrain it…
The other Titans started to wake up. Turns out they were tied together in a small pink boat, going full speed down a sort of river inside a pipe-like tunnel.
With so much generosity, there's no way to contain it…
"What happened?"
To contain it…
"Where are we?"
TO CONTAIN, TO CONTAIN, TO CON-
BOOM!
One of the singing puppets had just exploded, and the others had stopped singing, staring at their burning friend. Almost like by instinct, everyone looked at Raven.
"Sorry." She said, with her face buried inside her cloak. "They were freaking me out."
"Uh… Where are we anyway?" Asked Beast Boy.
"The sewers, I bet." Said Cyborg, looking from the pipe-like tunnel to the water they were going through. It was brown.
"Please, then, why must there be singing puppets in the sewers?" Asked Starfire.
"Cuz they're CRAP, man!" Said Cyborg, and then he started howling with laughter. Everyone's eyes turned to him.
"Not funny, huh? Sorry."
"Good morning, Starshine! The earth says hello!"
Tied as they were, they turned their heads upwards. There, at the end of the tunnel, on the wall, was a giant screen-which looked really small from the Titans' point of view-from which Wonka was smiling at them.
"Alright, Slade! What do you want? What's your plan?" Asked Robin, tried to release himself.
"Why, I have already told you, I'm not Slade, you… uh…" Suddenly, Wonka pulled out a small card and read something. Then he added while grinning, "…Robin. I just wanted you to come here to see my chocolate factory!"
"THIS is a chocolate factory!" Suddenly, Cyborg started looking around, excitedly. "Then where's all the chocolate, man!"
"I doubt there's any." Called Beast Boy.
"I doubt any of us would get out of here alive." Said Raven grimly.
"Well, you really seem to have a point, my dear…" Wonka checked his little card again. "…Raven."
"What do you mean?"
"Enjoy the ride!" Said Wonka, and then the screen turned blank.
"What do you think he meant?"
"LOOK OUT!"
Everyone looked up, to where Robin had already been looking. A huge pendulum with a gigantic and sharp-looking blade was coming directly to them. Everyone ducked, moving to left or right, and the pendulum passed right between their heads.
"Well, that was clo-WHOA!"
Now, they saw several pendulums swinging at them from several directions. Not only that, but also clubs, saws, and any other thing you can think about, cuz I'm lazy and I don't wanna think about them myself.
"DUCK!" Yelled Robin, and everyone ducked (excepting BB, who turned into a duck).
Suddenly, the river became full of rapids, rocks, ups and downs. The boat was going left, right, it was flying in the air, it was spinning furiously, and it was becoming really hard for the Titans to avoid the attacks coming from everywhere.
Suddenly, another boat appeared next to the one our heroes were in. It was much more bigger, red, and full with puppets dressed as pirates, and they were firing several cannons at the pink boat.
"C'mon, ye lads!" Yelled one puppet dressed as a pirate captain. "Lets kill 'em! Lets kill 'em dead!"
"Move right! Now left!" Was indicating Robin, watching the cannonballs-which looked like huge candies-fall around them. Suddenly, the pink boat was lining so much to the right, it was a miracle it didn't turn completely.
"What's going on! CY!" Yelled Robin. The big metallic man was drinking the brown water, which had caused the boat to rock.
"Robin! The water! It's not water! It's CHOCOLATE!"
"CY!" Yelled all the Titans together.
"OK, OK, sorry." Cyborg went back to a sitting position, and the boat became steady again. Suddenly, the Titans noticed they weren't under attack anymore.
"Do you think it's over?" Said Star.
"Very well done, Titans! Very well done!"
Wonka was back on the giant screen, clapping like there was no tomorrow, which in fact looked extremely fake. "You may have got out from that without trouble, but the worst is yet to come!" Then, he started pointing downwards, and whispered: "The waterfall!"
The Titans now were able to look what they weren't when the boat ride had started: right in front of them, was a huge waterfall, leading to God-knows-where, and it didn't look as something nice to fall from.
"Holly cowjuice!" Cried Robin.
"Have a nice fall!" Said Wonka, and then he started walking to the left and out of sight.
"We've gotta do something!" Said Cyborg, rocking back and forth, which made the boat rock as well.
"This… is… BAD!" Yelled Star, trying to find the ropes binding them.
"I'm sorry, exit is THAT way!" Said Wonka, re-entering the screen and exiting through the right side of it.
"I'VE GOT AN IDEA!" Said BB.
"NO! I'VE GOT AN IDEA!" Yelled Robin. "Raven, you can use your telekinetic powers to save us! All you have to do is keep the boat in the air and then put us safely on the ground!"
"I… don't think that's a good idea… my powers haven't been working right lately…" Said Raven.
"WE'RE GONNA FALL!" Said BB. It was true, they were right at the edge of the waterfall.
"C'mon, Raven! You can do it!"
"OMG, WE'RE GONNA DIE!"
"CRAP, WE'RE DOOMED!"
"ARRRRRRGH!" Screamed the Titans, as they awaited to start falling…
But they didn't. The boat was floating in the air, moving ever so slightly.
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka…
"Well done Raven! I knew you could do it! Just don't look down!"
He's the one you are about to meet…
"Why no-Oh, crap." Raven had just looked down, and seen how long the way down was. Then, the boat started trembling violently, menacing to let gravity take it down.
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka…
"Rave, you can do it! Control yourself!"
He's the one who just cannot be beat!
"I try to… but… that song!"
The magician and the chocolate wiz…
"Don't listen to it! Just concentrate! RAVEN!"
The best darn guy who ever lived…
It was a big fall.
WILLY WONKA, HERE HE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Well, that's the second chaptah, folks. Gotta tell you, it turned out to be longer than I expected, and you can see I was running out of ideas as I progressed. Meh.
Truth be said, I just wanted to end this little bugger tonight, so I can start writing next chapter tomorrow-that's where the fun begins! So… sorry if it feels kinda rushed. See you next time! R&R!
