Edward woke up to a warm beaming sun against a bright blue sky. He looked around and Jack and Sam were still sleeping. Jack's arms were out stretched above his head and his feet rested across a rock. Sam's hat was tilted over his eyes and his cane rested in his crossed arms. Grey smoke rose from the once blazing fire, as it died out.
Edward looked out across the ocean and saw something different about it. Very far away he saw a pink dot sailing towards the island. Edward stood up and walked to the water's edge.
Sam woke up and stretched, straightening his hat on his head. Cane in hand, Sam went over to where Edward was standing.
The pink dot was more clear now; it looked like some sort of pink sea serpent.
"what's that?" Edward asked Sam.
"my guess is as good as yours. I've no clue," Sam said.
The boat was now only yards away from where Sam and Edward stood. Sam squinted at it and saw tiny people, tiny rowers with funny hair. In the back of the ship sat a man, or a woman, Sam couldn't tell for sure.
Edward and Sam took several steps as the boat reached the bank. They stood in amazement and confusion at the sight before them.
A man with brown bobbed hair stepped off the boat and straightened his velvet red coat. He wore black pants, black shoes, purple gloves and a top hat. He was very pale and quite feminine looking.
"Hello!" The man said with a flick of his hand.
Sam blinked and Edward took a step backwards.
"My name is Willy Wonka. Pleased to make your acquaintance," he said with an out stretched hand towards Sam. Big white teeth sparkled as he talked and smiled. Sam smiled uneasily and nodded his head. Willy pulled back his hand and smiled.
By this time, Jack had woken up and with a groan he stood up, head throbbing. He staggered over to Sam and Edward and stopped short when he saw the boat full of little people and the strange man who stood by it. He looked confused as he tried to make sense of what was going on.
"Good Morning Starshine!" Willy Wonka said turning to Jack.
"uh, 'Ello mate" Jack said.
"I imagine all of you are wondering why I am here," Willy said.
"Yeah, why are you here?" Sam asked.
"Well to take you home, of course!" Willy said with a wide gesture to his boat. It looked like it was made of crystallized sugar.
Jack slowly approached the side of the boat and examined the little men aboard.
"HALALALALA!" Willy suddenly shouted, making Jack leap away from the boat, Edward raise his scissors in defense and Sam grip his cane tightly.
One of the little men hopped over the side of the boat and walked over to Willy. He folded his arms across his chest and Willy did the same. They went through a series of hand gestures, before the little man went back on the boat.
"Er, are you a eunuch?" Jack asked, moving over to Sam and Edward.
"Oh no I'm not, but thank you for asking," Willy said smiling.
"Do we go now?" asked Edward. Jack shot him a glance that sort of said you're bloody insane.
"If you would like, but the oompa loompas and I are quite famished. Do you have anything we could munch on?" Willy asked, looking at the three of them.
"We have fish," Sam said, gesturing towards the ocean.
Willy made a face like he was disgusted, and looked at the forest. "how about cocoa beans?"
"sorry mate, no cocoa beans here. Coconuts perhaps," Jack said.
"oh no, that won't do at all. I was afraid I would have to resort to this," Willy said.
Jack, Edward and Sam backed up close together, preparing themselves for anything. Will Wonka went over to the front of the boat and put his hand on the head of the sea serpent. He glanced at Sam, Edward and Jack and pushed the serpent's eye. There was a clicking sound and a squeaking of moving gears. The head moved outwards and down, resting on the ground. A long conveyer belt slid out from the neck and a large tube popped up from underneath it. Then it stopped with a loud hush.
Willy walked past the dumbfounded trio and picked up a handful of sand. He whipped it into the large tube, followed by a rock and three leaves. He closed the lid on the tube and pressed the other eye of the serpent. A whirring sound and a pop were heard, and there, rolling out on the conveyer belt was a candy bar.
Sam had a chocolate faddish and leaped at the candy bar. He hurriedly unwrapped it and took a small bite.
"Well?" Jack asked.
"It's great, better than fish, that's for sure," Sam said, taking a larger bite of the chocolate bar.
"oh good!" said Willy, "who else would like one?".
