I suppose one would call this a drabble, but here it is. It's kind of emotional. The setting is at the end of the movie when Willy goes to visit his father.

Willy was just getting out of the dentist chair when there was a sound from the hall.

"Poppa? Poppa, I'm home." Willy knew that voice. He'd known it for all his life. Dr. Wonka walked out of the room, motioning for Willy to stay quiet.

"Ah, Wilhelmina, you're home. Are you staying?" Willy could almost hear his sister smiling.

"Yes, Poppa, I'm staying for a week. The headmaster said I could even take off two weeks if I wished it."

Dr. Wonka's voice faltered a bit and Willy peeked around the corner, "Willa, I have a surprise for you. I know it is your birthday tomorrow, but I want to give you your present now." With that he moved away from the door, to see Willy standing there. Willa looked like she had been struck with something large and heavy. She stood there blinking disbelievingly.

"Willy?" She whispered. It that same voice, the only voice he had missed, or had known he missed, for over twenty years. Willa took a hesitant step forward, crystalline tears forming in her eyes.

Willy took two steps forward, and then his older sister rushed forward, "I can't believe it!" She said, throwing her arms around him. Willy hugged her back tightly as the two siblings were reunited for the first time in twenty long years.

They pulled back. As they studied each other's faces, they marveled at the difference, or lack thereof in each others' features.

"You look so different." Willa said her eyes full of tears. Willy shrugged.

"Well, Willa, you look pretty much the same." He felt tears coming. Oh no! He couldn't cry in front of his sister! But even as he thought this, his sight blurred.

Luckily, Willa pulled Willy back into an embrace, crying softly into his dark red coat, "I missed you, Willy." She said, sniffing.

"I missed you too, Willa." He said, nearly burying his face in the shoulder of her big black coat, so he could cry as openly as she was.

The two were silent for what seemed like an eternity, embracing and gaining control over their tears.

"Willy," Willa started as she pulled back. Her eyes were rimmed with red from crying and her hair in its exquisite bun was slightly mussed, but she put her hands on his shoulders and said to him:

"Promise me, that you will never leave again. I mean never leave my – our – lives. I couldn't handle that, Willy. I love you too much."

He drew her back into an embrace and sniffed.

"I promise, Willa. You will never be left out of my life again. You can even come to my factory. Would you like that?"

She smiled and nodded. Willy vaguely saw Charlie over his sister's shoulder, but chose to ignore him for now.

"Willy will you promise one more thing?"

"What?"

"Will you be my little brother for forever? No matter what happens?"

"I promise."
