"Are we there yet?"
"No…"
"…Are we there yet?"
"No…"
"Are we……..there…yet?"
"For the last damn time, no!" Leon was now loosing his temper as Cloud and Yuffie each asked him if they were there yet.
"Eyes on the road, Leon, eyes on the road" Aerith said calmly. "Don't worry, we'll be there in a few minutes, just wait and see" she told Cloud and Yuffie.
"Hmph…" simultaneous sighs were heard from the back seat and suddenly the car came to a stop
"Are we there now?" Yuffie asked jumping from her seat.
"…yes Yuffie…we are…" Leon answered, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"WOO!" Yuffie jumped out of the car and pulled Cloud outside. They were standing in front of a giant factory, smoke coming out of the top. The huge gates began to open as the figure of a man dressed in purple walked towards them.
"Good morning starshine, the Earth says hello!" the man said excitedly. Cloud waved in response. The man spotted him and went over to him and Yuffie.
"So Yuffie, is this the one that goes by the name Cloud?" The man asked eyeing the blonde.
"Yup, sure is! It's his birthday today!" Yuffie said, nudging Cloud painfully in the ribs.
"Well, well, well…so it's your birthday………"
"Uh huh…."
"Then welcome to the one and only, Wonka factory! I am Willy Wonka, at your service!" The man bowed to Cloud.
"Normally, what I would do is give you guys a tour…but…since it's your birthday I'm gonna let you do whatever you want; my factory is yours. You may go right ahead"
"Wait a second!" said Leon, stopping Cloud and Yuffie dead in their tracks. "Cloud, come here"
Cloud sheepishly walked over to Leon, who, without a word, put two dog collars on him. "It's for your own safety…..and ours…." Leon answered, tying the leashes to his hand.
"……..ok…?" Cloud answered, utterly confused.
"Leon's such a party pooper" Willy Wonka said, imitating Leon's voice perfectly.
Cloud, Yuffie and Aerith started to laugh until they saw the death glare Leon gave them.
"…party pooper" Willy Wonka whispered in Cloud's ear, who replied with a chuckle.
"Can we please go in now?" Yuffie said loosing her patience.
"Yes we may" Aerith answered, motioning for Willy Wonka to lead the way.
He led them through a long hall and through some small, colorful rooms until coming across the smallest door any of them had ever seen.
"Why is the door so small?" Cloud asked curiously.
"Well, that's to keep all the chocolaty goodness inside of course!" Willy Wonka crouched down and inserted a small key into the door. "Now, your about to see some of my most creative candy creations. You're about to enter a room where everything you see is edible…even Leon over there….but that is called cannibalism and is indeed frowned upon in our society. Now, without further ado-" He opened the door, which opened the whole wall, revealing a place that looked like it came out of a fantasy movie.
"-go wild" Willy Wonka finished as Cloud, Yuffie, Aerith and Leon, who was being pulled by Cloud, ran inside the room.
"Cloud! Cloud stop running! CLOUD!" Leon yelled in attempt to stop the wild, blonde beast. Seeing that all his attempts were in vain, Leon stopped running and sat down, stopping Cloud dead in his tracks.
"Leon! I want chocolate!" Cloud whined.
"You aren't getting any chocolate until you behave" Leon answered turning around to not face Cloud's pouts.
Silence…………….snip
Leon turned around, swearing he had heard a scissor or something. Surely enough, Willy Wonka was there, instead of Cloud, holding a pair of scissors in his hand; the leashes had been cut and were thrown on the floor.
"What have you-?"
"The kid needs some fun"
Leon looked at him wide-eyed. "It's your factory" He said before taking off after Cloud, whom he saw soaring above some candy trees.
"Why does he have to have wings?" Leon muttered running towards a hill where Yuffie and Aerith sat eating a few chocolate apples.
"Leon!...Where's Cloud? Wasn't he with you?" Aerith asked looking behind him.
Leon pointed over the chocolate lake.
"O.o I see…Well we better get him before he destroys the place"
"You say it like it's nothing!" Leon retorted.
"I'll help you Leon!" Yuffie stood up triumphantly.
"Really?" Leon asked shocked
"Uh huh! I've got the perfect plan!" Yuffie took a chocolate apple and shoved it into Leon's hand. "Hold this for me…"
"Huh? Why?" Leon asked, now really confused.
"HEY CLOUD!" Yuffie yelled and smiled when she saw that Cloud looked her way. "Look Leon has chocolate!"
"What-?" but, before he could finish, Cloud flew into him, taking the apple and accidentally knocking Leon off the hill and into the chocolate lake.
"Leon, are you alright?" Aerith asked concerned.
"Just…peachy….how are you?" Leon said getting out of the lake.
"Priceless…" Yuffie grinned
"What the-? Leon? Why were you swimming in the chocolate lake?" Cloud asked confused.
Out of the blue appeared Willy Wonka. "Oh you know Leon…He's a strange character…"
"Speak for yourself…" Leon said approaching them. "We're leaving"
"Awwwww!" Yuffie and Cloud both said.
"I think Leon's right, it is getting late" she turned around to face Willy Wonka. "Thank you, Willy, for giving us you factory for a day.
"Oh it was nothing! Come again anytime!"
"I don't think so…" Leon muttered. Aerith, you drive"
"Sure…Everyone in the car"
Everyone bid farewell to Willy Wonka and left toward the car. Leon got in first and sat in the back seat. Cloud sat on the seat beside him and Yuffie sat beside Aerith.
……….half an hour later……………
"So…..why were you in the chocolate lake?" Cloud asked curiously.
"Somebody pushed me in" Leon said, loudly enough for Yuffie to hear, who, in return, stuck her tongue out.
"That looks tasty" Cloud said taking a little bit of chocolate from Leon with his finger.
"Shit…"
…Boom…Crash!...Bang!...ouch….
"Would you please keep it down back there! I'm trying to drive" Aerith said.
"Smile!" Yuffie said, taking a picture.
"Are we there yet?" Leon asked, trying to restrain Cloud who seemed determined on eating Leon.
"Yes. I just have to park and-"
"AHHHH!" the chocolate-covered-Leon opened the car door and jumped out, running toward his house; a hungry Cloud followed close behind. Everyone in the street stared at them and then at the car.
"If anyone asks, I don't know them…" Yuffie said and Aerith nodded in agreement.

Oh my God! That took me sooo long! I had it all in my head and as I was about to type it:
1) The keyboard died (wtf)
2) The floppies died (WTF!)
3) My train of thought flew away from impatience (T-T)
I felt so bad………stupid technology………I hope to update the next chapter much faster than this one…
