The group of four soon arrived an elevator, and Willy showed them the wonders of it. Eventually, Mike wanted a turn, and clicked 'television'. They arrived to a white room, and Willy had them put on huge white goggles. They watched a giant chocolate bar get shrunk and transported to a television, and Mike was in disbelief.

Atlas wandered a little closer to the machine, curious, when he got shoved out of the way as Mike pushed past him onto the machine. The force knocked the goggles off Atlas' face, and he scrambled to put them back on. Willy spotted that Atlas didn't have his goggles, and and leapt over the guard rail to cover Atlas just as a bright flash occured.

When it was over, Willy sat back to see if Atlas was alright, to find that he had screwed his eyes as tightly shut as he could, and was covering them further still with his thin hands. "Is it over?" He whispered. "It is. You can open your eyes now." Willy said, gently grabbing Atlas' wrists and bringing them down as Atlas blinked his eyes open.

"Where did Mike go?" He wondered quietly. "He got shrunk." Willy said simply. "My son!" Mike's dad cried out in horror, running over to the TV. Willy helped Atlas up, and together the two went over to the TV, where they found that Mike had indeed been shrunk. Willy picked Mike up out of the TV, and Mike turned to Atlas. "I'm really sorry Atlas." He said in a high-pitched voice, "I didn't mean to nearly make you blind. Are you okay?" Atlas smiled. "I'll be fine Mike. Mr. Wonka covered me when the flash went off, and I had my eyes closed the whole time. My eyesight is perfectly fine." "That's good." Mike sighed in relief.

Willy sent Mike and his father off to have Mike stretched to normal size again.
