Liz opened her eyes and found herself in a room that was the most amazing thing she had ever seen. There was a chocolate river, candy apple trees, what seemed to be edible grass, and some other great candy things that look absolutely tasty. Liz heard the clicking of a cane on pavement coming toward her. This was a little confusing considering she thought that she was the only person in this lovely field.
"Hello," said a voice that was most likely coming from the cane.
"Hi cane," said Liz as she looked at the violet cane that stood before her.
"Yes, well my cane is very pretty," said the voice which Liz now realized was coming from a man. She looked up to see a very handsome man with very pale skin, purple fish eye goggles, royal purple latex gloves, a velvet purple coat, and a black cotton shirt on. He was smiling down at her with his thin pink lips.
"You're very odd looking," Liz said as she jumped up from the ground. She looked him over once more to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. He extended his hand to her in greeting but she ignored him, still looking him over. "Who are you?" Liz asked as she poked his arm just to see if he was real.
"Well I'm Willy Wonka!" he exclaimed ecstatically. He gave her a wide smile. Liz looked at him skeptically for a second before realization seeped in. Suddenly she burst into hysterical laughter. Willy gave her a concerned look as she fell to the floor laughing.
"Oh you're not kidding," Liz said as she wiped the tears of her laughter from her eyes. Willy gave her a confused look.
"Why would I be kidding?" asked Willy. Maybe she had gone crazy since high school, but he highly doubted that. She had always had a very good sense of humor.
"I have no apparent idea. Its just, when I was little I knew a Willy Wonka. He was killed though, in a car accident. His body was never found, but they were pretty sure that he died. They know that his mother died, they found her body. I think this was right after we graduated high school, like a few months," Liz said. She seemed to be gazing off into the distance, as if remembering an old friend or loved one.
Willy felt like screaming at her that he wasn't dead and that he was standing right in front of her, but he knew that would scare the crap out of her, or she would be mad that he spoke of the "dead" like that.
"I didn't know that that name was so common," said Liz as she walked past Willy. He gazed after her. Why wasn't she getting it? How many people could possibly have the last name Wonka? Wasn't that clicking for her?
"It's not," Willy said. He was getting quite annoyed with her. He knew she wasn't stupid. Maybe she chose not to come to face the facts.
"Well that's why. The Willy I'm thinking of had the last name Wacky. That would be why you guys don't have the same name," Liz said as she picked a candy apple off the candy apple tree. She had always been fond of chocolate, but she avoided eating too much because she knew it caused cavities and it caused you to gain weight super fast. She took a bite of the apple and savored its carmely goodness.
Willy cracked his knuckles in annoyance. So maybe he was wrong about her avoiding the truth. She really didn't know his last name in high school. That would explain all the "that one Willy dude". He sat there glaring at nothing in particular.
Liz quickly turned around to face him and saw him glaring. "What's wrong?" she asked as she walked over to him. Willy tensed up as he felt her touch his arm.
"You're quite tense you know," Liz said as she removed her hand from his arm. All she could really think of right now was how crazy this man was. He seemed interested enough in her, but she was more curious about his factory than she was about him. As she day dreamed about something Willy gazed at her, wondering what he could do to make her remember. Surely she remembered the kid with the head set in elementary school.
"You have straight teeth," he pointed out to her. Maybe she would catch on if he started talking about teeth.
"Yeah, both of my parents are dentists, Periodontists actually. They were always on me about brushing my teeth and about flossing and all that crap. I still have all those habits today," she said as she peered at him with her Caribbean aqua eyes.
"My father was a dentist," Willy said. He wasn't sure if this conversation would lead toward his goal or not, but it was worth the try. He thought back to their earlier conversation about who he was. "When I told you who I was you merely laughed. Most people are in shock about me being Willy Wonka the chocolatier and all," he said with caution as not to sound too stuck up.
"Well I obviously knew that you were that Willy Wonka, but to tell you the truth I have always been really fond of this architectural wonder that is this building," Liz said a little bit ashamed. "But I love your chocolate! It's about the only chocolate I eat, except for maybe Hershey, but that doesn't count," she added quickly as not to offend him.
Willy was about to respond when a little boy about the age of 10 came running up to him. The boy stopped mid stride as he caught site of Liz. He had seen many pictures of her before, but still she was way hotter in person. He could see why this was the only person that the shy and reclusive Willy Wonka could ever love. But did she even remember him?
"Hi little wee one, what's your name?" Liz asked as she looked Charlie up and down. He looked like a nice little boy. His eyes were a forest green and he was wearing really crappy clothes. She wondered if he was the boy who had won the golden ticket.
"I'm Charlie, Charlie Bucket," he said as he held out a hand to greet her. Liz grasped his hand in gratitude. He seemed like such a cute little kid.
"I'm Liz, Elizabeth Gold," said Liz as she pointed to herself to enhance the effect.
Charlie felt like saying "I know" but he knew that Willy would kill him, although it was awfully tempting. "It's nice to meet you Liz," was all Charlie said before he went back to telling Willy what he was going to tell him.
"Willy, I need to talk to you about those hair toffees but I see that you're busy, so I'll come back later," said Charlie. With that Charlie scampered off to who knows where.
"Seems like a nice kid," Liz said as she pointed in the direction Charlie had run off to.
"Yeah, he's quite something. He's really smart too. Anyway how about a tour of the factory?" asked Willy as he grabbed her arm and led her toward the chocolate river.
"Ok! I love this structure! Did I mention it's an architectural wonder?" asked Liz as she let Willy pull her toward the river. Something about his touch was familiar, but she just couldn't put her finger on it, at least not yet.
