Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: The Loneliest Abyss

Chapter 6- Birthday Plans and More Winners

Isabella's POV


I watched as Charlie looked around at some items in the store. I had decided to take him clothes shopping. He needed it. This trip also gave me time to think about what to do for Charlie's birthday. I had already decided to get him a cake, a card, and another present. But, I wanted to do something else as well.

"Hm…what should I do?" I thought before feeling the sleeve of my shirt being pulled. Looking down I saw Charlie standing there with a shirt and pants in his arms. "Is that all you want? You can get more, you know. I don't mind." I told him. He smiled and shook his head "I don't want anymore. You've done enough for me as it is." He said. I smiled. Charlie was such a considerate kid. You don't find that in too many children these days.

"Well then, let's go check them out, alright?" I told him. He nodded and we walked over to cash register. There were a few people in line so we had to wait a while. Whilst we were waiting I suddenly had an idea of what else I could so for Charlie's birthday. "Hey, Charlie, would you like to come spend the night over my house, on your birthday that is?" I questioned him. He looked at me, eyes shining, before nodded "Yeah!" He said excitedly. I grinned "Great! When we get back to your house we'll ask your mother and father." I told him. He nodded.


At the Bucket Residence


When Charlie entered his house he immediately asked "Mom! Dad! Can I stay over Isabella's house for my birthday?" He questioned. I shook my head "You could've at least waited a short while before asking Charlie" I told him amused. He grinned sheepishly before apologizing "Sorry" He said. Aunt Bucket smiled "That's fine with me, dear." She said. Uncle Bucket nodded "I'm fine with it as well." He said. Charlie then smiled wider "Thanks!" He said before hugging both of them. I chuckled.

"Hey, Charlie, why don't you go and try on your new clothes. I want to see what you look like." I told him. He nodded before going up the stairs. Once he reached the top Aunt Bucket looked at me. "He sure does favor you, Isabella." She said. I smiled "Yeah, he's my favorite cousin as well. I've never met a child so considerate before." I told her. Grandpa Joe smiled from the bed "Yeah, that's Charlie for you. Oh! And by the way, while you and Charlie were out we found out that there were two more winners." He said. I blinked "Who are they?" I questioned.

"A girl named Violet Beauregarde and Mike Teavee. " Uncle Bucket said. "What are they like?" I questioned. Grandpa Joe answered this one "Well, Violet chews nothing but gum all day and Mike does nothing but play video games all day." He said. "And Mike also, somehow, cracked the code to the system for the chocolates. That's how he won. He didn't even eat a single bar of chocolate, he hates it." Grandma Josephine said.

I blinked "Then why is he going to a chocolate factory then?" I questioned. Aunt Bucket shrugged "We haven't a clue." She said. And it was the end of that conversation. After a few moments, however, another one started as Charlie came down the stairs. I smiled at him when he stopped at the bottom of them.

"They look good on you Charlie" I told him. Aunt Bucket looked at him and smiled "It really does, Charlie." She said. His father nodded in agreement. "Thanks Isabella, for the clothes that is." Charlie said to me. I nodded "Anytime." I told him. Then I told him about the two new golden ticket finders.

"So, there are only two golden tickets left?" He said or questioned. I nodded "Yeah, but don't worry. You still have a chance." I told him. He smiled brightly at me before nodding. Aunt Bucket then looked at me "Would you like to stay for dinner, Isabella?" She questioned. I smiled sadly "I would, but I can't. I have to go home for I have to wake up really early. Some of the things I had ordered to be sent over here are arriving and I want to get them as soon as possible." I told her. She nodded "Alright then, have a good night." She said. After I said good-bye to everyone I walked out of their home and over to my car. Today was fun.
