Chapter 2: Grief

Willy was in the inventing room, alone this time cause Charlie got grounded. He was making a whole bunch of candy in there because halloween was coming up soon. And around halloween,
the sales go crazy, just about as crazy as the golden ticket contest thingy. Willy was a bit depressed, his brother, and his sister in law, gone forever. Willy thought. And his poor niece, Gracie. He doesn't want to see his BFF so upset. Meanwhile, Charlie was sitting in his bedroom, frustrated. He wanted to see Willy.

"Hey, Mom," Charlie said.

"Charlie, for the last time, you're not going anywhere," Mrs. Buckett stated.

Charlie was just so, so mad. He wanted to scream to the top of his lungs, 'JEFF I WILL END YOU!' He was pretty ticked off. He wished to God that they would listen to his side of the story. Instead he sat there, reading a Harry Potter book.

Back in Oklahoma, Gracie was packing everything she owned that didn't get damaged. She's been grieving a lot, too. When she was all packed up, she was ready to go back to the town she was born in. She was excited, but upset at the same time. She had no one to help her out at the airport, since she didn't know what the heck was going on, but she managed. When she got on the plane, she was tired, very tired from grief and packing. On the plane she fell asleep. (I feel so bad for her) :(

At the factory, Willy was now in his study, in depression. He was about to get his theropist Oompa Loompa, but he kinda sat there, and sulked. "This isn't fair to Gracie, or to me. Poor kid...hope she's okay." Willy thought. All he could think about was his poor niece. When she gets there, Willy wants to make sure that she can be as happy as possible.

Gracie arrived at the airport outside of town. She was looking for Willy, but Willy found her instead. He snuck up behind Gracie to suprise her, and he kinda did.

"Wow kid, you've gotten so big since the last time I seen you," Willy said. Gracie turned around a bit startled, and saw Willy. She gave him a hug and said, "Well you haven't changed that much. Hey, whats up with your hair," Gracie asked. Willy just frowned.

"I know, it's a funny haircut, long story. We best be going, now," Willy said.

"When they got back, Willy was talking about the golden ticket thingy mabob, and told Gracie a lot about his new heir of the factory. But then he saw a tear in her eyes, and started remembering again. Willy wrapped his arm around her shoulder, to help her stop crying.

"There, there. I know it's hard, kiddo, I know," Willy said, trying to make Gracie feel better. Gracie wrapped her arms around Wonka's waisted, and hugged him.

"But it isn't fair," she said. "I wish it wasn't like this, at all."

"I know it isn't, sis-a-roo," Willy said in a half childish voice. Gracie couldn't help but giggle at that last part. She's thinking, hey, mabye everything will be fine. Since she has her BFF around, there can never be any grief going on. To be continued...

This one might've been a little short, sorry. I'll try to make the next chapter longer, mabye plz review, I couldn't help it but throw in a couple of hugs between Willy and Gracie,
it just made warm and fuzzy inside...yeah im weird...
