A young and fatigued chocolatier was laying in bed. It was late at night and it seemed that everything in Scrubbit and Bleacher's was silent. Twenty two year old, Willy Wonka was hoping to fall asleep. He was in bed for at least 2 hours, trying to fall asleep. All he could hear was the sound of his breathing. It seemed that no matter how much sleep the chocolatier got, he was always tired. Sometimes, a little orange Oompa Loompa named Lofty would come in the night and take his chocolates. Willy would usually be asleep by that time. He had been so busy with creating his chocolates, going down for roll call in the early morning and trying to open his chocolate factory that he's been fatigued. Not to mention he also missed his mama. He misses his mama so much. She's been dead for so long. Just as he was about to fall asleep, a creaking sound from the floor made him jump up in bed. Willy looks down to see none other than the Oompa Loompa himself.

"Jeez, you scared me" Willy said."I thought that you were asleep" Lofty said."I usually am, but not this time" Willy told him."I was just about to fall asleep though". Lofty's eyes were adjusted to the dark well enough that he could tell that the kid looked tired."You look tired" Lofty said."That's because I am tired" Willy stated."Well, I'm just gonna take those chocolates and be on my way" Lofty told him."Oh yeah, they're over here" Willy said as he pointed to where the chocolate jar was. Willy got up and grabbed the jar and gave it to the Oompa Loompa.

"Make sure to get some sleep, sir. I am still going to keep an eye on you. You still have to pay off your debt"."Yes, of course" Willy said and got back into bed. The Oompa Loompa took one last look at the boy and walked away with his chocolate jar.

When Lofty got to the window sill, he looked back at Willy. He was starting to worry about the boy. Their was something different about him tonight, than others. He sounded fatigued. He looked fatigued. Willy was usually this happy go lucky, kid. Their was no doubt about that. Sure he was still happy, but, he was just different. Lofty let out a sigh, lifting his shoulders up, and dropping them as he did so. He knew he was gonna beat himself up over this one, but, he decided to watch the young man from a distance for the rest of the night. Just to make sure he was okay, and that he got sleep. Two hours passed and things seemed to be alright. From as far as Lofty could tell, Willy looked like he was sound asleep. He didn't get out of bed since he gave him his chocolates. Things stayed silent for a little while longer, but, then Willy suddenly, stood out of bed. Lofty's eyes widened. He was awake!? Willy started slowly walking towards the door to the room.

Lofty rushed into the room and ran towards the chocolatier as fast as he could. Willy was already by the door before the Oompa Loompa could get to him. Willy was just standing there. As soon as Lofty made it to Willy, he looked up at him. The boys eyes were closed as he just stood there. Lofty could hear his slow deep breathing. Was he sleep walking!? Willy started to walk towards the door to open it. Lofty ran up in front of the young man and started to push his leg to get him to back to bed.

"No. No. No. No." Lofty cried as he tried to push his leg, but Willy opened the door and started to walk out of the room."Willy!" Lofty cried out."Go back to bed!". Lofty ran as fast as he could, out into the hallway. Willy was already almost to the end of the hall way!"Willy!" Lofty cried again. Willy walked all the way to 's bed room. He opened it and went inside.

"No!" Lofty whispered.

Lofty ran towards Mrs. Scrubbit's room. Inside, Scrubbit's room. Willy opened the closet door and went inside. Mrs. Scrubbit was still deep asleep in her bed. But, that suddenly changed when ruckus was heard from her closet. Mrs. Scrubbit's eyes immediately snapped open. She let out a breath. She got up and opened up her closet door to find, a young Willy Wonka on the floor knocked out. A few clothes that were hung up were on the floor too. Mrs. Scrubbit smiled an evil smile. "Ooh, this is too good" she laughed. She was gonna have to throw the kid in the coop now. Mrs. Scrubbit picked Willy up by the back of his pajama shirt. The boy was still knocked out cold.

"Looks like you're getting your first punishment tonight, my boy" Mrs. Scrubbit sneered.

She dragged Willy out of her room and down the hall. The Oompa Loompa was watching from a safe distance. Mr. Bleacher was down the hall.

"What happened" he asked."Oh, I just found this little boy in my closet. He knocked over a few of my clothes too". Mrs. Scrubbit told him."What" Mr. Bleacher questioned."But, it looks like he's asleep"."Exactly. That's why Mr. Wonka is spending his very first night in the coop" Mrs. Scrubbit sneered. When Mrs. Scrubbit got to the coop, she opened the door and threw Willy inside. Since he was out, he didn't protect himself from hitting something. Mrs. Scrubbit smiled a creepy smile as she took one last look at the boy.

"Good night, little boy. Have a nice night in the coop" she said and closed the door on him, leaving him in darkness.

Mrs. Scrubbit walked away to go back to bed. As soon as the coast was clear, Lofty walked all the way to the coop and looked inside at Willy.

"Willy" Lofty called quietly, careful not to wake anyone else up and risking getting caught."Come on, kid. Wake up". Lofty found a hole big enough for him to get inside. When Lofty made it inside, he walked right up to Willy's face. Willy now looked so peaceful as he slept."Oh, Willy. What have you've gotten yourself into" Lofty sighed. The small Oompa Loompa stayed with the boy for the rest of the night. Lofty could hear the birds start chirping as soon as the small bit of sun started to peak into the cracks of the coop. Lofty yawned. It has been a long night, making sure the kid was safe.

"What have I gotten myself into" Lofty questioned and looked down at the young chocolatier."Taking care of this kid is hard work". Lofty feels like he's Willy's babysitter. Following him around everywhere he goes, at least until he pays his debt. He known the boy for too long and it feels like he would know Willy for a long time, even when the boy is an old, grown adult with a chocolate factory of his own. Even then, Lofty wont leave the boys side. Willy stirred as soon as sunlight hits his face. Lofty's eyes widened. Willy's eyes slowly opens and finds himself starring at the Oompa Loompa himself.

"Morning, sleepy head" Lofty greeted."You've been out for the rest of the night". Willy groans.

"Ugh, Lofty. What time is it? Go away. Leave me alone".

"I can't do that Willy Wonka. You are in the coop" Lofty tells him. Willy's eyes snap open and Willy sits up instantly. "What?!" Willy cries."How did I get in here? I've never been in here before".

"Woah, slow down, kid. It's a long story" Lofty said.
