It was another day in Maggie's small town. Every day, she would open the window, overlooking her school, and breathe in the cool fresh air. Today was no different.

"Why is this town so boring?" Maggie asked her mother. She would ask this countless times. The response would always be the same.

"Something will happen. Soon"

But how soon was soon? When was something going to happen?

It was the weekend, which meant Maggie was free to go about town on her walk, as she normally did. She enjoyed the sound of her boots making a crunchy sound underneath the soft snow. Her long brown hair, was always loose. Maggie let it be that way because she couldn't stand it being tied up. She wanted it always to be free, blowing about her face, sometimes going into her bright blue eyes.

As she passed by the shops, something caught her eye. The shop, on the corner of Cherry Street was covered in newspaper. The bakery, Maggie had came to adore was gone. A "For Sale" sign hung over the door. She had to resist crying. The man that owned the shop was so kind to her, unlike other people.

Well, she couldn't live in the past. So she continued walking down the street.

"Cherries. Chocolate Cherries. Cherry flavored chocolate? No, they won't like that. Let's see. Bananas. Do people even like bananas? Scratch bananas"

Maggie narrowed her eyes. She could hear someone muttering to themself. She looked up to see a man in a black coat and huge goggle like glasses. He had reddish brown hair, cut into a bob. On top of his head was a huge purple top hat.

Maggie was just passing by, when the man suddenly jumped in front of her.

"Hi. My name is Willy Wonka. Do you like bananas?"

Maggie's eyes were wide now. "Uh...no. I'm more of a raspberry girl"

Willy smiled, wrote something down on a pad of paper, and began to walk away.

"Why do you ask?" she called.

He spun on his heel. "I'm opening a candy shop. I need to know what pople like. Do's. Don'ts. If they sleep on their right or left side"

"Why would sleeping be important?"

"It just is. Bye now"

Maggie stared at Willy. "Where are you opening your shop?"

"Corner of Cherry Street"
