Chapter 2 - Introducing...the Golden Tickets!

Hello, everyone! I'm terribly sorry about the wait. The last two months have been quite busy for me, but I'm back now, and fresher than ever! I have loads of ideas in mind for the rest of this story, and I can hardly wait to make them come alive. Again, since this is a parody, please do NOT take this story seriously. Now, on with the story!

(Note: I do NOT own Batman, Final Fantasy, the Geico gecko, Disney, Sonic the Hedgehog, Scary Movie, Star Trek, 2001: A Space Odyssey, or any of the other pop culture references you'll see later on in this story. They all belong to their respective owners. If you recognize it from elsewhere, it isn't mine.)

The next day, Chuck stepped outside to find large groups of people clustered around some random lamp posts. He ran towards one of the posts, politely squeezing his way through the dense crowd of people until he managed to get a good view of the announcement that was taped to the post. It read:

Dear people of the world: I Billy Bonga, have decided to allow five children to visit my factory this year. Those lucky five will be shown around personally by me, and will learn all the secrets and the magic of my factory. In addition, one of these children shall receive a special prize beyond anything you could ever imagine.

Five Golden Tickets have been hidden underneath the ordinary wrapping paper of five ordinary Bonga Bars. These five candy bars may be anywhere—in any shop, in any street, in any town, in any country, in the world. Good luck to you all, and happy hunting! :)

Everyone ran off to raid the nearest candy shop, much to the annoyance of the lone person working behind the counter. Of course, that wasn't the only place where the action began to unfold...

In Tokyo, Japan, a large mob of people stood just outside the large glass doors of their nearest store, texting each other on their phones. As soon as the doors slid open, they practically flooded the store, frantically grabbing all the bars off the shelf.

"This is even harder than finding the Rainbow Pudding!" one person complained in Japanese as he failed to grab the last bar. He grunted and walked away.

In Marrakesh, Morocco, a man was stealing bars from other people, clutching them all under his chest. Suddenly, a horse walked in front of him and it proceeded to do a number two right on the spot, causing the man to slip on the poop. He fell flat onto his back, and the empty-handed people standing nearby hastily reclaimed their bars.

In New York City, a pyramid-shaped shelf was piled high with candy bars. Thousands of people grabbed the bars and ran off, revealing the statue of a naked woman! All the parents rushed their children out of the store to escape the scene which would have turned this story's rating from T to M.

In San Francisco, people were using crowbars to smash the windows of a nearby car, since a single chocolate bar could be seen on the dash. One person quickly snatched the bar, and they all left the scene.

The car's owner then showed up, and he yelled, "What the *bleep* happened to my car?! My insurance had better cover this, or else!"

Just then, a random gecko jumped onto the roof and said, "Hey dude, did you know that with Geico, you could have saved fifteen percent or more on your car insurance in just fifteen minutes?" The gecko continued telling the guy how to choose his car insurance, and guess what? IT WORKED!

The scene randomly changed FOR NO APPARENT REASON to show that Grandpa Schmoe, Grandma Schmosephine, Grandpa Gorge, and Grandma Gorgyna were in bed. BORING.

Chuck lamented the fact that he only gets one candy bar a year, for his birthday. Or at least, that's what the author initially thought. In reality, it was because the story just had to take a break from all the action that took place moments ago. Grandpa Gorge decided to spice things up by saying that the first ticket winner will be "fat, fat, FAT!" Little did he know that his prediction would turn out to be true very soon.

Author's note: Once again, I'm sorry that I took so long to publish this chapter. I hope it was worth the wait! How do you think the first two winners might be parodied? You'll find out soon! :)

In case you're wondering what on Earth Rainbow Pudding is, I put it in as a reference to Final Fantasy IV. Just look it up if you want more information.
