AN3/
Okay, before I get the disclaimer out of the way. I'm going to let of those who didn't get the incredibly corny joke I made in the last chapter.
Anyone who has watched the original Willy Wonka movie knows that Gene Wilder played as Wonka. So when Willy says his line at the end of the last chapter, it's just a shout out to one of my fave actors.
So...nothing is mine. No money. There. Everything is taken care of. Shall we boogie?
When the door opened, Marie thought she'd entered a utopia of some sort. A dreamland. "Lorien." She heard Legolas breathe in an awed voice.
"It's beautiful." She gasped, her eyes wide with amazement. "All the colors."
The Chocolate Room was indeed filled with color. Large candy trees with fruits of swirled colors stood in groves and bushes with edible daffodile teacups decorated the landscape. And in the midst of it all..
"A chocolate waterfall!" She announced. "That's..that's.."
"Do you like it?" Asked Willy, an indulgent look in his eyes.
"Do I like it?" She echoed. "It's the most wonderful thing..I mean, there just aren't words!"
"Thanks." He said proudly. "And you know it's all eatable." He informed them with a wave of his magnificent cane and a mischievious grin. "Even I'm eatable. But that is called cannibalism, my dear guests, and is frowned upon in most societies." Marie chuckled, while the others just stared warily at him.
He led them over a bridge and to the Chocolate River. "This is where the Buckets found you." He said with disappointment and strain showing in his voice. "Though, you all had ruined a whole batch of chocolate by the time we fished you out."
"Sorry." Marie said. "We didn't really have much choice as to where we would land."
Willy nodded. "Just take care not to fall in again." He advised with concern.

Flames make me frown more than Severus Snape on a bad day.
