Family Ties
Wake up!
Wake up Kim!
Kimberly sat bolt upright. It was just a dream! She looked around to see that she in a dentist chair. And not just any dentist chair: Dr. Wonka's!
The room seemed normal. A plain grey clock hung over the doorway to the waiting room. The walls were painted a very light blue and had posters of Willy Wonka all over them. And not just pictures. Everything from candy wrappers to old news clippings.
There was a centre piece though. A huge plague on one of the four walls read:
R.I.P
Wendy Wonka
I know how much you loved this locket
Underneath this was a brass holder. Nothing hung on it.
Kimberly squessed the silver locket in her hand until her knuckles turned white.
You stole it!
" No I didn't!" Kimberly whispered.
There she went talking to herself again. She closed her eyes, trying to stop the flow of words in her head. But it was no use.
"Your awake!" came a deep voice, spooking Kimberly. It was Dr. Wonka!
"You fell asleep! Lucky for me, that let me more easily fix up your teeth!"
Kimberly looked at her watch. 4 pm! She was late for work!
"I'm sorry! I have to go now!" she said, standing up. " How much do I owe you?"
Dr. Wonka held up a hand. " Don't worry about it!"
Kimberly nodded. Quietly, she pocketed the locket and started to dash out.
"Wait!"
Kim gritted her teeth. " Yes Doctor?"
" You forgot your toothbrush! Complimentary you know, for every visit!"
She breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't noticed the locket was gone.
Kim got outside the door. It was winter, and very cold out. She draped her cloak more tightly around herself. Heading down the hill, it was hard not to notice Willy Wonka's huge factory. Kimberly always kept her distance from the creepy building.
She pulled out the locket and let it dangle by the chain.
" I'll tell you what your going to do, Kimberly Anne! Your going to return this silver locket back to Dr. Wonka!"
Or you could give it to Willy Wonka!
" No! I'm not going there!" Kimberly yelled.
It would be easier! You give it to Wonka Senior, he would yell at you for stealing! But if you give it to Willy Wonka…
" And have my dream I had back there become reality?"
Unless your scared…
Kimberly took another look at the locket and then the factory.
