"NO!" Wonka felt his heart tear out of his chest as he watched Connie fall out of the boat. All of his composure melted away as he watched her fall. He couldn't control himself as he screamed after her. Charlie was screaming too. Scared for his aunt. The rest of the boat was silent in shock of what had just occurred. They also couldn't help but notice Wonka's panic. They hadn't seen him like this before. It was frightening. Even Grandpa Joe wasn't sure what to do as his daughter was violently ripped from his vision. Charlie looked up to Willy, suddenly springing him into action. He didn't bother to stop the boat, knowing that it would take too log to slow down. Instead, he started running to the back of the boat and jumped off of the edge, following Connie into the chocolate. He began to swim in the direction of panicked splashes just as they started to lessen. He dove under, trying to feel for Connie. He came back up for air and dove again. After his third try, he felt a slippery arm. He clutched it as hard as he possibly could under the chocolate and started to pull the body up to the surface. Once he broke the surface, he started to blindly feel the walls for a platform to pull himself and the unconscious Connie onto. He mercifully found one and pulled himself and Connie up. He held Connie tightly to his chest as he panted for air.
*Scene Change*
Connie slowly opened her eyes as she began from what was literally a Chocolate induced coma. She whimpered slightly as she rose her head to look around. She was in a white, sterile looking room lying on what looked like a hospital bed. She noticed Wonka pacing back and forth. Clearly in a panic. His body stiffened as he hear her whimper and quickly turned to her. He practically ran to her side as she sat up.
"Connie! Are you alright? What happened? Are you hurt? I'm so sorry." This hands were checking for any cuts or bruises on my head and sides. Willy was talking too quickly for me to form any answers.
"What happened?" I asked.
"You fell out of the boat my dear. and just as I had told you to be careful as well." Wonka joked weakly. "We're in the hospital wing now. Not too far from the others." Just then I noticed bits of dried chocolate in Willy's hair.
"Did you.. fall in too?" A nervous laugh escaped Willy.
"No. I jumped in after you actually." He said shyly.
"You saved me? Thank you." Wonka smiled softly at me. "How long was I sleeping for?"
"Only an hour, don't worry. I have a few Oompa Loompas currently showing the other guests around. Now that I know you're alright I will return to them now. You should rest." Willy patted my head before turning to leave.
"Wait!" I stood up. "I'm alright. I would like to join the others." Willy gave me a skeptical look.
"Are you sure about that?" He asked, cocking his head.
"Yes." I answered. "I need to get back to Charlie and Joe so they know I'm alright." Wonka sighed in defeat.
"Fine. But if you start to look even the least bit ill it is back to bed for you." He said, trying and failing to look strict. I smiled at him. "Thank you Willy."
*A/N Sorry the chapters are so short. It's just easier to manage this way.*
