A/N: Response Time: To purplepancakes54, Thank you for taking interest in the concept. As for the Oompa-Loompas, I always got the impression that Wonka taught them English after they moved into the factory, but nevertheless, it's not that hard to imagine that the songs weren't improvised. To mattTheWriter072, of course I was ;) I put a little note in the first chapter to tell people just that. And you'll find one of the new ticket winners in this very chapter. To Lord Candycane, well, I'm glad you thought it was clever. You'll find out in this chapter if Wonka will improve on his mistakes or not. And you'll also find out how the previous golden ticket finders will figure into this. To CottenCandyCarousel, I'm glad you've been enjoying the story thus far. And if you want to read more from me and dragonserpent18, we both have other stories you can read. I know, shameless plug. Anyways, this chapter was brought to you by dragonserpent18. Enjoy!


Wonka tried his hardest to contain his own excitement. The world had just found out that he had put out another set of golden tickets. Somehow, they still didn't realize that he was looking for an heir. Poor saps. Three days went by and there was no one lucky to find a ticket. But that didn't mean Wonka was disappointed. His wait would be rewarded when he waited one more day. He finally heard of the first finder. However, when he found out the first finder was from Germany, he became unusually curious. He decided to find out if his lucky winner was as good as Charlie.

Wonka was watching the news, hoping there was someone from Germany who wasn't like Augustus Gloop. I'd be careful what you wish for. It is usually because coincidences don't tend to happen this easily. When the ticket winner was revealed, Willy Wonka's jaw unhinged like a snake. He saw that the interview was being held at the Gloop Butchery, now owned by Augustus Gloop! "I can't believe what I'm seeing!" Wonka shouted in surprise. "How did this happen a second time?"

An Oompa-Loompa looked up and said, "Maybe it was a coincidence?"

Wonka glared at the Oompa-Loompa and then looked back at the television. The winner was not Augustus, but his daughter, Claudia Gloop. She had blazing red hair, a pale-complexion, and was extraordinarily skinny.

Claudia began to talk in a very haughty manner, "I only found zhe ticket because my daddy vanted me to do so. I can't stand food. I don't have zhe slightest clue as to vhy he even bozhers vizh it. He just told me to get him a candy bar on my vay back from school every day. Of course, as luck vould have it, ve found zhe golden ticket zhat I didn't really desire, but he's been to zhat blasted factory, and he actually vants to go back. Zhis is vhat I get for helping acquire his fix."

"His fix?" A female reporter asked.

Claudia took one look at the woman and sneered. The reporter was a little bigger than Claudia was, but that didn't stop the insult from coming. "Ja, he's cut down since being a kid, but he gets a fix of vone candy bar a day. You vould know about zhat, ozhervise you'd have a body like me."

Wonka shouted, "The nerve of that brat! No way would she ever be near the greatness of Charlie! I have to do something about this!"

He ran off to the Music Conservatory, where he began composing. Let me tell you, Wonka really knows how to work music (How do you think Charlie knows how to play?). According to what he knows, his mother was a skilled musician before she died. He definitely inherited her exquisite skill. It took a matter of minutes, but he finished a song nonetheless. An Oompa-Loompa took one look at the song sheet, and when he saw the title, he gave a look that said, "Really?"

Wonka said, "Before you say anything, I wouldn't have done this if the person wasn't absolutely detestable. I can't stand the thought that she'll be the heir."

The Oompa-Loompa asked, "What are you going to do about someone discovering it? Not only that, but they're going to figure out you've set traps for them again."

Wonka smiled and said, "I'm not going to make it that easy again. I'm going to burn these song sheets later. I'm sure you guys can improvise a dance to go with it. If you think I'm not going to be more convincing and subtle this time, think again. As an added measure, I'll let them stay on the tour, but let them know they've been eliminated, so they stay, but they'll feel bad."

The Oompa-Loompa said, "I think it would work better if you let fate decide this. But maybe having the traps be not as bad as they were, so fixing them would be no problem. That way they'll stay on and feel bad about themselves for ruining their own chances at winning. With this method, these children may just learn their lesson. How are you going to deal with the Claudia girl?"

"You'll find out soon enough," Wonka said as he left the room.
