The Chocolatetier and His Cocoa Bean

A Bad Nut

Y/n's POV

"Mother, what's happening to me?" Violet asked as we backed up. "She's swelling up." I said as I pulled Charlie with me. "Like a blueberry." He said as she grew into a ginormous size. "I've tried it on twenty Oompa Loompas and each one ended up as a blueberry. It's just weird!" Wonka said as he started Mrs. Beauregard and I by appearing between us. I held my heart again and playfully glared at him as he gave an innocent smile. "But I can't have a blueberry as a daughter. How is she supposed to compete?" Mrs. Beauregard asked with a huff.

"You could put her in a county fair." Vercua said with a smile as I tried not to laugh at that. Mrs. Beauregard glared at hee as Wonka giggled at it himself. 'Not so flirty now, are ya?' I thought with a slight smile. Music started playing again as Oompa Loompas started singing again. I bopped to the catchy tune again as Wonka did little dances to it while I found it adorable.

Mrs. Beauregard glared at him as he stopped his dancing nervously. " I want you to roll Miss Beauregarde into the boat and take her along to the juicing room at once." He said as an Oompa Loompa bowed and started to push Violet with some others. "The juicing room? What are they going to do to her there?" Mrs. Beauregard asked with worry. "They're gonna squeeze her like a little pimple! We've got to squeeze all that juice out of her immediately." Wonka informed as she was more concerned now and ran over to help the Oompa Loompas.

"Come on, let's boogie! Without the boat, we'll have to move double time. There's far too much to see." He said as he leaves us to a hallway. "Mr. Wonka?" Charlie asked politely. "Yeah?" Wonka asked as he glanced at him. "Why did you decide to let people in?" Charlie asked as I smiled softly. "Why, to let people see the factory, of course!" Wonka said happily as I smiled a little more with how polite he was to Charlie after noticing how he treats the other kids.

"But why now?" Charlie asked curiously as Mike shoved past him as I glared a bit at him. "What's the special prize, and who gets it?" He asked impatiently. "You know, the best kind of prize is a sur-prize!" I said with a bright smile as he gave me an unamused expression. "Mood killer." I mumbled as I hear Wonka chuckle and smiled a little. Since we've arrived, I've been feeling warm and fuzzy around him. I knew I was falling for him.

I've been too busy with my job and helping with taking care of the family, that I had completely push finding someone special aside. Ever since my last relationship anyway. That didn't end so well. And it's been a while since I've felt like this. I didn't realize I zoned out until I accidentally bumped into Wonka. With my luck, I tripped and waited for the ground, but arms caught me and I was face to face with he man intruding my mind. "Sorry, Mr. Wonka. I was lost in thought." I said as I felt my cheeks heat up.

"Please, call me Willy." He said softly then stood me up. He cleared his throat and smiled nervously. "Let's continue on." He said as we followed him to a Nut Sorting Room. "Ah, this is a room I know all about! You see, Mr. Wonka, I am in the nut sorting business." Mr. Salt said and handed Wonka a card, I mean Willy, tossed it over his shoulder without reading it as I giggled a little. "Are you using the Hammermax 4000 to do your sorting?" Mr. Salt asked with a smile.

"No...you're really weird. Haha..." Willy said with a smile and opened the door as he lead us into the room. I smiled happily upon seeing his sorters. "Squirrels!" Vercua said with a bright smile too. "Yeah, squirrels. These squirrels are specially trained to get the nuts out of their shells." Willy said with a smile as I lean on the rail a little. "Why use squirrels? Why not use Oompa Loompas?" Mr. Salt asked as I watched with wonder.
