Author's Note: Happy Belated Holidays everyone. I fast-forwarded to Christmas, yeah I know an entire year passed but bear with me I'll fill you in.
I stepped outside the factory and pulled my heavy coat higher on my back. The cold winter wind whipped at me. I started walking out of the huge chocolate factory and out the gate. A long time had passed since we moved into the factory. Willy and I had officially become and couple and Charlie had to yell at him when they were brainstorming because he'd be thinking of me instead of chocolate; but by no means was the chocolate worse. It was better in fact!
I had to do my Christmas shopping because Christmas was only a few days away. A cold gust of wind pushed me back and I stepped behind a building as a woman chased her hat down the sidewalk. I stepped into the Walmart (sry I love that store) and walked up and down the warm isles. I pulled out my list of people I had to buy for and smiled, because it wasn't very long.
For Charlie I bought him a gameboy SP and two games, Kingdom Hearts and Harry Potter. For Helen I bought set of pajamas, for Noah I bought him a snowboard, because oddly enough my uncle liked to go snowboarding. For the grandparents I bought them each a large thing of chocolate—made by Wonka of course. Then for Willy, I walked up and down the isles and I couldn't find anything! I was about to get him a movie when I saw it!
The hat was standing in a silhouette from the other hats. It was plain black but I could change that. The top hat was perfect! I moved closer to the shelf but an old lady reached up and grabbed it, she put it in her cart. I followed her for the next half hour waiting for her not to look and my chance came! I pushed my cart fast as she turned to face the shelf. I reached into the cart and pulled out the hat. I put it in the little kid's seat in front of me and smiled.
I bought a few things to put on the hat, paid for everything, and left the store the same time as the old lady I took that hat from. She looked at me and I turned my head away to make sure I didn't smile. I got home in record time because I was so cold. I went up to my room and asked an Oompa Loompa to bring me some hot chocolate. I was wrapping presents when he came back in. I smiled and thanked him for the coco.
It was topped with hot chocolate and cookies were on the plate next to the cup. I love the Oompa Loompas, but sometimes they just overdid it. I finished wrapping and called the elevator to go put the presents under the huge Christmas tree in the entrance hall. I put my presents under the trees when I ran into Willy. He was carrying a large pile of bags and tissue paper.
"Willy what are you doing?" I asked. He stopped abruptly and I think he smiled.
"Finally! Someone who can help," He grunted under his heavy load, "I need to wrap the Oompa Loompas' presents! Follow me!" I followed him into one of the greenhouse rooms. He set the stuff down and jumped on one of the trees. I stared wide-eyed as he shimmied up the tree. "Catch!" He yelled.
I jumped forward and caught the brown thing he flung from the tree. It was a coco bean. I stared at it. He jumped down from the tree and took it from me. He put it in a bag and covered it with tissue paper.
"Don't you pay the Oompa Loompas in coco beans?" I asked.
"Yes, but they love coco beans," Willy answered. So I helped him wrap the presents and put them under the tree.
I woke up very early, so early it wasn't even light out. I got out of bed and pulled my blue robe over my pajamas. I walked down the hallway and pushed the button for the elevator. It zipped up and I pushed the button down to the entrance hall with the tree. I sat down before it zinged off. I was almost used to the elevator but it still jerked me around.
In the entrance hall I was amazed. The tree was all lit up and decorated with Wonka candy canes, lights, tinsel, and… coco beans. I could smell bacon cooking and I followed my nose. It took me to a silver kitchen with several Oompa Loompas running around making breakfast. I said Merry Christmas to them, but they kept working. I went back into the hall and waited for everyone to arrive.
I was sitting on the ground when Willy came in. He smiled at me and pulled me up. He held me in his arms and kissed my lightly.
"Merry Christmas," He whispered.
"Merry Christmas to you too," I laughed. He let me go and sat down next to me. The rest of the Bucket family followed in slowly after Charlie bolted into the room. The Oompa Loompas came in with food and everyone ate. Then the Oompa Loompas each picked up a bag and sat down and opened it. They thanked Willy and went off to party… I think.
"Charlie why don't you pass out presents," Noah said. Everyone agreed and Charlie jumped up and started to pass them out.
"Emily. Willy. Mom. Dad. Grandpa," He passed out the presents quickly and opened all of his first. He got a game boy advance with a whole bunch of games, clothes, and a few books from me. Helen opened hers next, pajamas and a coffee maker. Noah opened his snowboard and jumped up and hugged me.
"Thank you Emily, I've needed a new one for ages," He said. I nodded. The grandparents opened their presents and then Willy.
"Ohh!" He squeaked. He pulled off his hat and put the one I got him on, "Thank you Emily." He kissed me again and Charlie gagged. "Shut up Charlie," Willy said. I laughed.
"You're welcome," I said laughing. He opened the rest of his presents and I finally got to open mine. I got a movie from Charlie, a coat from Helen and Noah, and I was opening Willy's present. It was a card and inside he wrote 'later' I smiled and kissed him. I was pulling back when something hit me in the head. I looked down and a ball of wrapping paper was lying on the floor. I looked up at Charlie.
"You're going down!" I yelled. I threw it back and balled up another strip and threw it at him. He threw it back but I ducked to the side and it hit Willy. Willy jumped up and threw it at Charlie who threw one at Noah. Suddenly the room was full of flying wrapping paper balls and everyone was laughing before it was done.
I waited for Willy at the bottom of the stairs. He had a surprise for me and I was excited. He came down the stairs looking so happy… and hot in the hat I got him. Not that he wasn't always hot but still. He smiled and took my hand. He led me into a room with a huge television and a big comfy row of couches.
In the back were a popcorn maker, a pop machine, and a hot dog stand. I sat on the couch and bounced in place. Willy put in a movie and sat next to me. He yawned with a stretch and put his arm around my shoulder. I laughed and snuggled close to him with my feet up on the couch.
I looked up at Willy as he watched the movie. He was so cute when he watched movies because he didn't notice anything. I smiled and pushed myself up and kissed him. He was surprised at first but then he leaned into the kiss and deepened it. He put his gloved hand in my hair and pulled me closer. I was on his lap when he shoved me onto the couch and lay on top of me, kissing my lips and neck. One hand was on the small of my back and the other was massaging my thigh. We stayed like that for a long while and eventually we pulled apart.
Willy sat back up and pulled me with him. "Emily I love you." I smiled and kissed him again.
"I love you too," I smiled. He kissed me passionately and reached behind his back.
"Merry Christmas," He said. In his hand was a little puppy. I pushed Willy off of me and awed at the puppy. He was so cute.
"He's so cute!" I cooed. The puppy jumped up and licked my face. "Aw." Willy laughed and put a hand on the puppy's back.
"It's a mix breed. It has mostly wolf in him so I thought you'd like him," Willy said.
"I love him, almost as much as I love you Willy," I said. Willy smiled. "I will name him Morgrim. From the wolf in the Chronicles of Narnia. Except that wolf was mean and he won't be mean."
