Disclaimer: Nothing in this story is mine.

A/n: As you've probably already noticed, Confusion has had a rating change! It is now rated M. That's right, M! Also, this chapter is going to be slightly different than what I mentioned in the preview last time. This chapter will mostly be about Willy, and Ronnie will appear again next chapter. Sorry, but you'll have to wait to find out why Ronnie ran off after supper until the next chapter! There's a scene in this chapter, however, that should make up for it! Well, I hope you enjoy it, and, as usual, please review! Oh, and I had to make my own page breaks.

Chapter 5: Uncertainty

The Buckets looked at each other in shock, wondering what had caused Ronnie to run off. Everybody was quiet for awhile, unsure of what to say. Suddenly, Willy jumped up from the table, a funny look on his face. "Willy, is everything okay?" asked Mrs. Bucket. "I…I have to go take a cold shower!" Willy exclaimed as he hurried out of the Buckets' house.

As Willy headed to the Glass Elevator, he noticed that several Oompa Loompas were giving him strange looks. Obviously, they had heard his little outburst about the cold shower. He blushed as he stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for his living quarters.

When the elevator finally reached Willy's living quarters, he quickly stripped and headed into the bathroom. Then, he stepped into the shower and turned on the water. The Chocolatier felt extremely grateful as the cold, refreshing water ran down his body.

Before long, Willy began to relax. Ordinarily, he wasn't a person who sang in the shower. That night, however, was an exception. "Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka, the amazing Chocolatier…" he sang. After several minutes, he was finally finished with his shower.

Much to Willy's relief, the shower had done the trick. He dried himself off with one of his favorite towels (monogrammed with his trademark W, of course) and headed back to his bedroom. Even though it was still kind of early, he decided to get ready for bed.

The Chocolatier looked through his pajamas, trying to figure out which pair he want to wear that night. Finally, he selected a purple silk pair and put them on. Then, he climbed into bed and grabbed a book that was sitting on his nightstand. It was called Chocolate: A Bittersweet Saga of Dark and Light, and it was one of his favorites (naturally, it was all about the history of chocolate). The Oompa Loompas had given it to him.

Willy read for quite awhile. He got about half-way through the book before he started feeling sleepy. Yawning, he placed a bookmark in the book and put it back on the table. He turned off the light and prepared to go to sleep…

Willy was sitting by the Chocolate River. A women was sitting next to him. He thought it was Ronnie, but he wasn't sure. She was unbuttoning his waist coat (his outer coat had already been removed). Soon, the garment was off and flung to the side.

As Willy stroked her hair, the woman went to work removing his shirt. Once it was off, she began running her fingers down the Chocolatier's bare flesh. "Ohhh!" Willy moaned. The woman smiled at him as she unzipped his trousers, causing him to moan again.

Willy's moans intensified as the woman slipped his trousers down his legs and off of him. Then, she went back to stroking him. Not just on his chest this time, but all over. Suddenly, Willy felt a wave of pleasure and excitement wash over him, and he cried out…

The Chocolatier awoke with a start. At first, as he tried to catch his breath, he wasn't sure what was going on. Then, he noticed a warm, sticky feeling between his legs. His eyes went wide with surprise as he realized what had happened to him. "I haven't had one of those since I was a teenager!" he said aloud.

Still feeling shocked, Willy went into the bathroom to clean himself up. He felt extremely confused. Why on Earth had that happened to him? And what was he supposed to do now? Willy still hadn't come up with any answers by the time he joined the Buckets for breakfast.

It didn't take the Buckets very long to notice that something was up with Willy. He was being much quieter than usual. He also seemed extremely jumpy. "Willy, is something wrong?" Mrs. Bucket asked gently. Willy giggled nervously. "No! Haha, you're really weird!" he said. The Buckets weren't fooled, though. Willy didn't even eat half of his breakfast, which was extremely unusual for him.

"Well, I must be off! Lots of candies to check on, you know," said Willy as he got up from the table. He was relieved that he hadn't had to tell the Buckets about what had happened. Willy was just about to check in with the Chocolate Room Oompa Loompas when he heard a familiar voice say, "Willy, wait!" It was Mr. Bucket.

Willy sighed. "Terrific, just what I need!" he thought. "I really need to get to work. I need to make sure everything's running okay, talk to the Oompa Loompas, look at some of my newest inventions…" Willy began. Mr. Bucket interrupted him. "Willy, I think we need to have a talk," he said.

Willy knew he didn't have much of a choice. Like the rest of the Buckets, Mr. Bucket could be extremely stubborn when he wanted to be. "Let's go over there, 'kay?" Willy suggested, pointing to an area of the Chocolate Room that was pretty much free of Oompa Loompas. "That's fine," said Mr. Bucket. So, Willy led the way to the spot he had suggested.

"Willy, I can tell that something is bothering you," Mr. Bucket said. "I really don't want to talk about it," said Willy. Suddenly, Mr. Bucket remembered the Chocolatier's "cold shower" outburst from the night before. "Willy, if this is about some male problem, you don't have to worry. I'm a man, too, after all," he said.

Willy took a deep breath. He told Mr. Bucket about his dream. He finished up with, "Then I woke up and realized…um…" Mr. Bucket understood. "Willy, I know what you're talking about," he said gently. "But why did it happen?" Willy asked.

At first, Mr. Bucket wasn't sure how to answer Willy's question. Then, he remembered the way Willy had been acting around Ronnie the night before. "Willy, how do you feel about Ronnie?" he asked. "I…She's 'kay, I guess," Willy answered. Mr. Bucket knew there was no sense beating around the bushing. "It seems to me that you really like her, Willy," he said. "Just because she's a girl doesn't mean I like her. Now, I really must be getting to work," said Willy. With that, he got up and headed for the elevator.
