Veruca opened the door slowly,then ,hung up her coat that she was wearing outside. She wiped her feet on her fancy door mat and took off her black boots and put them on the side of the door. Veruca smelled something funny, it was coming from the Tv Room. She ran quickly to the Tv Room, where she saw Mike who was on her couch eating pretzel sticks. He was watching tv.
"Mike!Are you eating on my couch!?!, yelled Veruca. Mike's eyes widened.
"How did she know what I was doing!?", he thought.
Mike stared his eyes at Veruca, "Um...No.",he said,trying to get away with it.
"Don't tell me no! I could see you.", said Veruca.
Mike put down the pretzel stick he was about to eat,and,put it back in the bowl.
"Also...", began Veruca as she came closer to what Mike was watching on the tv. "What are you watching?", asked Veruca.
"Game Of Thrones.", answered Mike.
Veruca looked at the tv again. There was now showing some bloody battle scene. "Okay.",said Veruca as she picked up the remote from the coffee table and turned off the tv.
"Hey..I was watching that!", exclaimed Mike. Veruca walked to the coach to sit next to Mike.
"I know but I think we should talk about something.", said Veruca. Mike became silent. He had never been in an actual conversation with a real life person. The only conversations he had were people that are on online games that he played. Mike turned away from Veruca, "I can't do this!" he shouted,feeling bummed that he is going to mess up eventually. "Hey...",said Veruca as she put her hand on Mike's hand. That made him to turn around to face Veruca again.
"Let's practice, I'm Veruca Salt,what's your name?",began Veruca.
"Uh.",started Mike nervously. He shoke a little ,Veruca was staring at him. She looked very pretty to him,with those gorgeous eyes and cherry lips. She blinked at him once or twice. Mike finally has to sudden urge to speak,"I'm Mike Teavee.I play video games and watch tv.I went into a chocolate factory when I was a little boy and got shrunk into a TV set there.", Mike introduced himself to Veruca during their practice conversation. Veruca eyes slowly looked down sadly, her cheerful expression slowly faded away as she looks at the blank TV set.
"Veruca, are you okay?",asked Mike. "Do you ever felt that you always kept having memories of that factory?",asked Veruca.
Mike's mouth dropped open, sure the memories still play his head all the time. Veruca does not seem to have the same issues as Mike has? Mike gets closer to Veruca.
"Veruca, do you feel the same way as I do?",asked Mike softly. Veruca looked up at him "Sometimes every time I see a squirrel, the memories of me being thrown down that garbage shoot still plays in my head" It is trying to show me that I've should've had been so greedy and bossy as a kid.",explained Veruca.
Mike turned very quiet as Veruca looked down looking hurt "I'm sorry you need to hear that. He gets a little closer to Veruca and puts his arm around the her.
"You know ,Veruca.",he began Veruca looked up at him.
Yes?",she asked.
Mike looked into her eyes, "I feel the same way as you.",said Mike
Veruca looked at him silently.
"But.what can I say? Let it be in the past.",said Mike.
Veruca was confused, at first ,on what Mike was talking about. She decided to agree with what Mike said.
"Yeah, let it be in the past.", said Veruca, letting a smile brighten on her face.
Mike smiled at her, "Good.", he said.
All of a sudden,Veruca leaned on Mike's shoulder ,snuggling in,and fell asleep.Mike was first shocked, but,he opened his mind to possibility and ,thinking it may be a good thing,decided to lean on to sleep winding himself around Veruca.
They , both ,snuggled happily on the coach together,
