"If only his father were alive" grandma Josephine said thoughtfully 'I wonder what happened to him' I thought "Josephine you might want to wake the other grandparents, Charlie's almost home" when they woke up grandma joe said "soon as I get my strength back I'm gonna get out of this bed and help him"

ms. Bucket looks at him before finishing the cabbage water, "dad, in all the years you've been saying you're going to get out of that bed, I've yet to see you set foot on the floor" ms. Bucket says.

"Well maybe if the floor wasn't so cold" grandpa joe retaliates

I hear the door open and Charlie enters. "Hi everybody!" He greets.

"Hello Charlie!" I said with a little wave

He comes over and hugs me "Hi melody" he turns around and goes to the grandparents "Grandpa George, Grandma Georgia, Grandma Josephine, and Grandpa Joe!" He looks at Grandpa Joe's bowl "is this your supper, Grandpa?"

"Well, it's yours too, Charlie." Grandpa Joe said looking at the cabbage water then to Charlie.

"I'm fed up with cabbage water. It's not enough!"

The grandparents look at him with shock, I smile. "Charlie get the bread out" I said looking at his bag knowing that he has the bread ignoring the looks of confusion from the grandparents.

"Sometimes I forget that you know what's gonna happen" Grandpa Joe said shaking his head. Charlie looks at me with confusion before asking "but I thought you only know the movie?".

"The movie has started Charlie, now get the bread!"

He nodded and opened his bag to revealing a loaf of bread. Everyone, even though they knew, were surprised. "Charlie, where did you get this?" Ms. Bucket asks

"What difference does it make where he got it? The point is he got it."

"Its first payday." Charlie said handing the bread to Ms. Bucket

"Good for you, Charlie. We'll have a real banquet" Ms. Bucket stated proudly, putting the bread on a plate on the table to cut it up. Charlie gave her the rest "Mom..? Here's what's left. You keep it. Except for this" he said holding up a small coin, walking over to Grandpa Joe, holding the coin out, "from now on, I'm going to pay for your tobacco."

"No one's going to pay for it, Charlie. I'm giving it up"

"Joe" I look at him "take it, your gonna need it later"

"Go on, Grandpa. Please take it." Grandpa Joe nods and takes the coin.

-later that night-

I was sitting on the grandparents bed when Charlie came and sat down and started talking, "after I finished my paper route, I was in front of Wonka's. There was this strange man there. I think he was a tinker. He was standing right behind me, looking up at the Factory. Just before he left he said, 'nobody ever goes in, and nobody ever comes out'."

"And right he was, Charlie. Not since the tragic day that Willy Wonka locked it." Grandpa Joe said

"Why did he lock it?" Charlie asked looking at me then at Grandpa Joe.

"Because all the other chocolate makers in the world were sending in spies, dressed as workers! To steal Mr. Wonka's secret recipes. Especially Slugworth. ..oh, that Slugworth, he was the worst! Finally Mr. Wonka shouted, 'I shall be ruined! Close the Factory!' And that's just what he did. He locked the gates and vanished completely. And then suddenly, about three years later, the most amazing thing happened. The Factory started working again, full blast! And more delicious candies were coming out than ever before. But the gates stayed locked so that no one, not even Mr. Slugworth, could steal them."

Charlie looked at him before stating "But Grandpa, someone must be helping Mr. Wonka work the Factory."

"Thousands must be helping him."

"But who? Who are they?"

"That is the biggest mystery of them all." They both looked at me "do you know?"

"Yes But Charlie will find out and so will you" they looked at each other before Charlie said "But going in that Factory will be impossible" I looked at him 'really?' I breathed "yeah and traveling into a movie is impossible, yet I'm here!..Charlie" he looked at me "yes?"

"Nothing is impossible, Charlie"
