Authors Note: Sry I haven't written in a while. My computer crashed and it didn't' start working until last week and we've been installing stuff. Well here's part three enjoy your Willy Wonka.
The next morning I was awake before anyone else. I left the house to clear my nose when I saw Charlie sitting on the front steps. I went and sat down next to him.
"How's it going bud?" I asked him ruffling his hair.
"Pretty good. I'm so nervous," He said rubbing his hands together. I put my arm around him.
"Nervous excited or nervous scared?" I asked. He let out a misty breath and smiled.
"Excited."
The huge gray factory loomed before us. Helen and Noah stood in front of me waving at Charlie and Grandpa Joe. Noah turned around.
"Emily your still not jealous of Grandpa are you?" he asked.
"How can I not be! That factory is the most amazing thing I've ever seen," I answered looking through the gate.
They day passed so slowly. I went to the bookstore, bought a book, sat on the huge factory stonewall and read it. It wasn't even dinnertime when the doors opened again. First came Augustus Gloop. He was covered in something brown and I prayed it was chocolate. Then came Violet Buealreguard, she was blue and doing flips. The Veruca, the buckteeth girl, came out covered in garbage. She was only at the door but I could still smell her. Then Mike Teevee. He was so tall. As he walked past I couldn't see him anymore.
I was expecting Charlie and Grandpa Joe to come out next, but they didn't. I sat on the wall waiting until something caught my eye. Up in the sky was a flying glass elevator. Inside was Charlie, Grandpa Joe, and…… Willy Wonka! I jumped off the wall scaring the spectators and ran for the house. I was too far away.
By the time I got through the door the glass elevator was leaving through the roof, Charlie was almost crying, and Grandpa Joe was sitting on the bed. I saw everyone looking grim. Including Grandma Georgia, which was a first.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Well," Noah started to say; he looked over at Charlie and continued. "Mr. Wonka was going to give Charlie the factory. But we wouldn't have been allowed to come with him so Charlie stayed." I went over to Charlie and hugged him.
"Noah I should have known that's what Mr. Wonka would have done!" I said angrily outside the house. "He's selfish and childish, but I didn't think he wouldn't let a family come and ruin his chance to find an heir."
"Emily don't beat yourself up. Charlie knows what he wants. As much as a chocolate factory appeals to him, he wants a family more," Noah said. I shook my head and sat down.
"Go on in Noah, I'll come in later," I said sitting down on the steps. He went back inside. I stared at the Chocolate Factory. There was one light on towards the front but that's all I could see.
Noah got a job back at the toothpaste factory fixing the machine. We fixed the roof and Grandpa Joe stayed out of bed all day. A week passed and food was more plentiful on the table. I walked with Charlie into town that morning and sat with him while he cleaned his first pair of shoes.
"All right Charlie I have to go to work," I said standing up with a groan, "Here's your lunch money and remember to stop by when you're done so we can go Christmas shopping." I turned to leave when I bumped into a guy with a newspaper in front of his face. "Sorry, excuse me," I said. He stopped moving and peaked over the top of the paper. I shook my head and hurried to the restaurant.
My day went fast and I finally got a break at one. I drank a cup of coffee and ate a sandwich, and I was back to work. When my shift was over I put my apron in the back, put on my coat and went to the 'shining booth' for him. He wasn't there. I looked around for him and even went back to the restaurant. I gave up and went back home. I was just outside of the house when I heard them talking.
"So when do we move in?" Helen asked.
"As soon as you want, tomorrow would even be fine!" Someone answered, sounding oddly familiar.
"And all of our stuff, including the house?" Noah asked.
"Everything!"
"Shouldn't we tell Emily we're leaving?" Grandpa Joe asked.
"Shit, I forgot about Emily," Noah said. I opened the door and stepped in.
"Damn right you should tell Emily!" I yelled. Charlie was sitting on the bed. The Grandparents were at the table, Noah and Helen were standing in front of a man and they all turned to look at me. Charlie, wide-eyed, stood up and walked me over to Helen, Noah, and the man.
"Emily I'd like you to meet Mr. Wonka, again, we're going to live in the factory. Including you."
