Thanks for the reviews guys.

Disclaimer: I do not own Charlie, Wonka or most of the factory. They are property of Tim Burton and Ronald Dahl. I own pretty much everything else.

The next day of school went by quickly. Charlie and Laura hadn't seen each other all day, and they didn't even have Lit. today. When school was over Laura quickly ran outside. Teachers yelled at her to slow down but she answered with a "Fuck you" before they even had a chance to chase after her. She finally zoomed into sunlight and didn't mind the blinding effect as she raced past her peers. She looked to the pink tree and there Charlie was. She pumped her legs harder and when she reached him she bent over, clearly out of breath. Charlie laughed.

"Anyway, I talked to Mr. Wonka. And I have the news you've been waiting for... You can come over TODAY!"

Laura squealed with glee. She got out her cell phone and made a quick call to her mother. Then her and Charlie went to the spot behind the school and got into the elevator. They both sat down as it lifted into the air. And yet again they picked up their conversation from the day before. After about an hour they were done and felt like they'd known each other all their lives. Then they just enjoyed the ride. After a while Charlie spoke.

"Almost there!"

Laura looked ahead. She saw a huge factory. She'd never seen anything like it. She quickly glanced at her watch. 5:30. They had flown for little over two hours. She watched as they flew over the factory and began to fly downwards twards it. Laura gasped but the elevator went through a hole and they landed in a big room filled with machinery.

"This Laura, is my chocolate factory. Well it will be mine in a few years. Right now it's Mr. Willy Wonka's."

After he said that an odd man appeared. She assumed he was Willy Wonka. She looked him over; he had a hat, pale skin, and a big dark red coat. He was quite handsome. He spoke.

"Did someone say my name?"

"Yes Mr. Wonka. This is Laura. And Laura, this is Willy Wonka."

Laura offered her hand, but he ignored it and walked off mumbling, "Chocolate and candy is fine and dandy."

"Sorry, he's kind of shy," Charlie apologized for the man.

"Oh, that's perfectly all right," Laura said, perfectly understanding though she thought the man was quite weird.

Then for about an hour Charlie gave her a tour of the factory. Laura studied a machine in the Invention Room when a small man walked in and whispered something to Charlie.

"Sorry Laura! I have some business to attend to for a while. Feel free to explore! And if you get lost just as one of these small men. They are called Oompa Loompas."

Then he dashed out of the room. Laura soon walked out and went down a corridor to her left. She went down it a bit, briefly looking in the rooms.

'I wish I lived here! This place is so cool! I feel like Alice in Wonderland…' She thought.

She passed a room that was all blue and had a single silent machine in it... and by the Machine was Willy Wonka. He was pacing. Laura stared at him wondering what he was thinking about. She hadn't realized that she'd been staring, but then he noticed her.

"Oh, sorry! Charlie told me I could explore!" She apologized.

Then embarrassed she quickly walked away, but she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and was greeted by a warm smile.

"No! It's all right! You know, it's good that Charlie's made a friend! Come, follow me!"

She giggled at how excited the man sounded. He began to walk off and she followed him through the winding corridors. Finally they reached a relatively normal looking one. He opened one of the doors and walked in. Laura took a step in and looked around. This was a huge bedroom, with a big bed, fireplace, and couch. Everything was of great quality in dark rich colors. She espied a door on the right side of the room. She was in awe at the room, but realizing that she was in his bedroom she gave a questioning look.

He looked away and said, "Don't worry... I only want to talk."

He offered her a seat on the blue couch and she sat. It was very comfortable. He sat on the opposite side. He asked her questions and she answered and for about twenty minutes they talked. In that time she'd spilled her life's story and he'd... barely covered his own. She felt that was all right, she understood. She's like that sometimes, but with the people she likes she opens up quickly.

"I see you've finally talked to Wonka," said a voice from the door.

Startled Laura looked over to it and there was Charlie.

He spoke again, "It's 7:00, I think we should get you home."

Laura stood up, as did Mr. Wonka.

"Well it was nice meeting you," She said. He suddenly gave her a hug, but quickly he backed off and walked out of the room. So she walked out of the room as well and her and Charlie walked through the halls.

That night Laura couldn't sleep. She really wanted to return to the factory. She loved every part of it and she thought the 'oompa loompas' were funny. And she really liked Wonka. Little did she know that he was lying in his bed, awake as well. He tried to concentrate on new ideas for candy, but she kept floating into his mind. Eventually they both got to sleep only to have dreams filled with eachother…
