Chapter 1 A friend from the past
Charlie woke up early in the morning to the soft bed in his new room in Wonka's factory. He was glad that Mr. Wonka made a new room in the factory just for him and his grandparents to live. It was very hot in the mornings even more so than the evenings and it was the start of summer so, Charlie expected that. He got dressed and went out of his room to say hello to Mr. Wonka. He walked out into the long hallway to look for his mentor; He usually was in the inventing room working on new recipes so he decided to look there first. Then a small man with vibrant cyan hair and brown overalls stopped Charlie from going any farther." Oh! Umm… Master Charlie, W-What are you doing up so early. He said sheepishly. "Oh, Hello Mr. Oomapa Loompa, Just going to see if Mr. Wonka has any new inventions to be tested or just to say hello." Said Charlie. "You can call me Hoss if you like. Well, Mr. Wonka is quite busy right now with something very important and he said for me to tell you to ummm… To go out for a nice walk around town! Yeah, it's a beautiful day outside and he said you could use some fresh air." Hoss said pushing Charlie towards the door." Ok? Hoss can you tell Mr. Wonka that I am gone." Said Charlie. "Yes, Master Charlie". Said Hoss cheerfully.
Charlie decided to go out into town and get some breakfast from a coffee shop or something like that. Then something caught his eye in the distance. It looked like a black blur, and it was coming right for him. "Whoa!" said the blur said rushing towards Charlie. The two collided in a huge crash. " Ouch, God Damn it!" said the blur. Charlie looked up at what the blur was and to Charlie's surprise he knew the blur. A black haired boy with brown eyes like him but, a little bit darker wearing a black T-shirt with a skull and dark blue jeans landed on top of Charlie. " Hey man, watch were your going!" The boy said in an angry tone getting up." Well, a Hello to you to Mike." Said Charlie. " Wait.. Charlie!? What the heck! What are you doing walking around here?" Said Mike. "Just walking around town, I see your doing better." Said Charlie smiling. " Michael! Wait for me!" said a voice coming from behind Mike. " God Damn it." A taller boy who was a little bit chubbier than Mike ran towards him and caught his breath. He had ginger hair with bright blue eyes wearing a red and white polo shirt with jeans. " Why do you have to run so fast?" he whined. " Gus, you have to keep up with me. It's not that hard." Said Mike rolling his eyes. Charlie giggled under his breath a bit. " Hello Augustus." Said Charlie.
"Hallo Charlie!" said Augustus cheerfully. "What are you two doing together? You guys are friends?"Asked Charlie. "Yeah, I was just in the hospital for a few days and - Mike stopped. " You went to the hospital!? Was that after the tour?" asked Charlie. "Yeah, it was no big deal." He said. Augustus elbowed Mike and gave him a look. "Yes, it was a big deal. Your insides wear in the wrong place and they were flatter than usually." Said Augustus. Mike gave his taller friend a mean glare that made Augustus shutter. "Well, do you feel better now?" ask Charlie. "If I'm standing in front of you right now do you think I fine?" Said Mike. " Oh, Right. Sorry." Said Charlie. Mike looked at his phone and was shocked. " The Game Center is about to close! Sorry Chuck we have to go. Bye!" Said Mike running away leaving the two boys. " Mike! Wait up!" Shouted Augustus trying to catch up to Mike. Charlie waved and continued to walk. " I didn't know that Mike had to go to the hospital, He surely didn't want to talk about it." Thought Charlie. Mike finally stopped and waited for the large boy behind him. " Why didn't you want to talk about the hospital?" ask Augustus. " Look, you saw what happed to her you're the only person in the world who I told my secret to. I don't want anyone else to know. You're the only person who was close to me when you saw what happened to…her." Said Mike. "You still miss her, do you." Ask Augustus concerned. " Yeah, a bit. Come on, I will walk the rest of the way." Said Mike. Augustus smiled, "Thank you."
