Disclaimer: I own nothing. But I do have good news for you all. I know many of you are wondering where Mr.Wonka went. –Giggles-
He will be in this chapter, and the next. Thank you all for your reviews. I love them, so keep it up.
.w.w.w.w.w.w.w.w.w.
Two days later, Autumn found herself sitting at the rehearsal of the 'Big Day'. She was sitting on a chair next to the stage, listening to her manager go on about how they where to come out. And why this was so important.
Autumn found herself thinking between the differences of a Moulin Rouge whore, and herself.
Well, you don't sleep around. That thought came as a relief.
And…What else was there?
Autumn McKane sighed, already frustrated with herself.
"You all will be called out by your nicknames. Lady Autumn, Princess Snow, ect."
She barely heard him as he now listed off several 'important' people whom had been invited.
"Mistress Cain, Willy Wonka…"
Willy Wonka? Autumn's eyes turned towards the ground. What would he think of her then?
.w.w.w.w.w.w.w.w.
The days swept by too quickly for Willy Wonka. The invitation that was given to him was now lying in his palm. The deep red script was the thing his eyes followed. Then the simple gesture of a 'kiss mark' in the upper right hand corner.
His mind wandered. Could it be /her/ lip mark there?
With a sigh he dropped the piece of parchment onto his desk. And was soon standing in front of his mirror, looking himself over. He had told the Buckets he was not going to be in the factory for the night. And he loved the reaction on their face. Complete and utter shock. And soon it turned to happiness to find that William Wonka was now turning into a 'human being'.
He looked himself over. Straightening his black velvet jacket. It's grey pinstripes barely visible in the dim light. He wore a simple pair of black slacks, and under his jacket was a black vest. A dark grey silk shirt under the vest. Nothing out of the ordinary, for Willy. Just a slight change of colors.
His cane was placed into his right hand. Just a simple black stick with a clear ball on top. His graceful hands where covered in simple silk gloves. Black, as well.
He placed his normal top hat on top of his head. Chocolate brown hair falling over his shoulders. (Unlike the usual ponytail.)
Over the years, Willy convinced himself that he might look better with longer hair. And indeed he did. Ever since Charlie had mentioned it.
Since Charlie was soon to be Sixteen, Willy nearly asked his parents if he could go along. But of course there was something wrong with this. Innocence is a great thing for Great Chocolatiers.
Picking up the invitation, William Wonka slipped through the doors of his room. Setting his goal for that night.
Find Lady Autumn.
w.w.w.w.w.w.w.w.w.w.
Red glitter was smeared over her eye lids as Autumn sat in the chair of one of the many costume make-up artists. . Eye liner was placed under her lids. And around her unusual silver eyes. Making them stand out amongst the glitter and paint.
Even with the pale shade of her skin and the vibrant colors, Autumn had to admit the make-up artists always did a wonderful job. Even made her look pretty.
As she stood, she wobbled on her high heels. Not yet used to them. The heels strapped around her ankles all the way up her leg to her knee. Her skirts falling to her mid thigh in the front, and nearly brushing her calves in the back. A corset was placed on her upper half. Squeezing her lungs and ribs together as it was tied. They did this fairly quick, since the guests where no there.
She could already hear their voices from the ballroom. It was nerve racking.
A powerful bass of music began, and Autumn saw the happy face of Alleara. Grinning and pulling her towards the curtains.
Unlike her friend, Autumn's hair was cascading down her back in gentle waves. And she was quick to place a mask over her eyes.
It was not a second before she did, she heard her name being called. And an applause.
"Lady Autumn, and her beloved friend Mistress Sin!"
Autumn and Alleara moved out onto stage. Alleara gave a deadly smirk, and snapped her whip at an audience member, giggling playfully as Autumn moved towards her. Pinching her bottom, and pretending as if she didn't do anything. Several whistles echoed form the men in the crowd, and both females gave curtsies. Walking off of the stage and into the crowds.
It was not but a second later she found herself being pushed backwards. Loosing balance, Autumn fell forwards. Landing on her hands and knees in front of a pair of black shiny boots.
Gloved hands reached down to help her up, and she realized this was the man she had met a few days ago. William Wonka.
As she stood, she smiled up at him. Not knowing if he recognized her or not.
Willy simply smirked. Watching her eyes glitter in the neon lights as he spoke.
"I haven't seen you around, Autumn. A shame we couldn't meet up somewhere."
"Your not the only one trying to make money, Mr.Wonka,"she replied smoothly. Biting her bottom lip as she looked over his shoulder. James Carter was watching intently. And she gave him a quizzical look before looking back to Willy Wonka.
Her hands where still on his shoulders, from earlier. And she hadn't realized just how close they where. Until, of course, she felt his lips brush over her cheek. His hot breath next to her ear.
"I think they are waiting for you on stage."
