Chapter 5: Nightmare in the Inventing Room
As usual, Willy stayed up late that night, working on his and Charlie's latest inventions. The Chocolatier was quite the night owl, and did some of his best thinking in the late night/early morning hours. That night, however, he was unusually tired for some reason. As a result, he ended up falling asleep in the middle of the Inventing Room (luckily, he wasn't near any of the machines!)! Before long, he started to dream…..
"Why can't I just go with you?" eight-year-old Willy Wonka asked his father. "Willy, you know you have to stay here. Besides, you'd be bored out of your mind!" replied Wilbur, who was about to leave for a Dentists' convention. Willy knew there was no way he could change his father's mind. He just didn't want to stay with… "We're here!" called out a sickeningly cheerful voice.
It was Willy's Aunt Wanda, Wilbur's younger sister. She had brought her baby girl, Wilma, with her. They were going to stay with Willy while his father was at the convention. "Well, I'll be off, then! Willy, you be good for your Aunt, and remember, no candy!" said Wilbur. "Don't you worry about a thing! I'll take good care of Willy for you!" Aunt Wanda assured Wilbur as he left. Willy sighed inwardly. As far as he was concerned, his Aunt was worse than his father. She was constantly treating him like a baby, for one thing. For another, she was way too "touchy". She was always trying to hug him and kiss him and it drove him crazy! Worst of all, now she had that baby!
"Hi, Aunt Wanda!" Willy said politely. "Willy, aren't you going to greet your little cousin?" Aunt Wanda chided him. Honestly, she was always after him about something! "Hi, Wilma," said Willy. The moment Wilma caught sight of Willy, she burst into tears. Willy covered his ears. "What did I do?" he asked. Aunt Wanda, however, paid no attention to him. "Sssh! It's okay! Did cousin Willy's mean old braces scare you?" she crooned to Wilma.
Things went from bad to worse. When Aunt Wanda insisted that Willy hold Wilma, the baby had pulled his hair and then spit up all over him. And, of course, she cried the entire time! Another time, Willy was unlucky enough to be in the room while Wilma was having her diaper changed. He was so grossed out, he ran to the bathroom and threw up. Once, when Wilma was napping, Willy asked her, "Why do you have to be so gross?" Of course, Aunt Wanda picked that moment to walk into the room. "Willy Wonka! Shame on you! You know better than to be mean to your cousin!" she exclaimed. Then, she spanked Willy and sent him to his room. "I hate babies!" Willy yelled…
"Mr. Wonka!" Willy awoke with a start. To his surprise, Charlie was standing next to him. "Charlie, what are you doing in my bedroom?" he asked. Charlie laughed. "Willy, we're not in your bedroom. You fell asleep in the Inventing Room!" he replied. Willy looked around. "Well, how about that!" he said. "You looked so cute, sleeping like a baby!" said Charlie. "Don't mention that word to me!" Willy exclaimed. "Why?" Charlie asked. "Ireally don'twant to talk about it," said Willy.
A/n: Hope you enjoyed it! As for Willy's relativesalso having names that start with W, I just thought it would be fun to give all the Wonkas W names! Please review!
Chapter 6 preview: Mrs. Bucket is now about 6 months pregnant, and she convinces Willy to run some errands in town for her. As you can imagine, this has some hilarious results!
