She unlocked the tiny door and opened it to reveal a giant candy forest, or garden, or wonderland. This was (Y/N)'s, Loki's, Selena's, and Maddie's favorite room. Their chocolate room. It took them seventeen and a half years to finish this. (Y/N), Loki, Selena, and Maddie told everyone to stay calm and not lose their heads over this room made out of pure candy, including a chocolate river. (Y/N), Loki, Selena, and Maddie led them over a bridge while explaining the waterfall and river. Every drop of the river was hot, melted chocolate of the finest quality. Maddie also began to sing because she loved the room so much.

"Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination. Take a look and you'll see into your imagination. We'll begin with a spin. Traveling in the world of my family's creation
What we'll see will defy. Explanation. If you want to view paradise. Simply look around and view it. Anything you want to, do it. Want to change the world? There's nothing to it. There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination. Living there you'll be free. If you truly wish to be. If you want to view paradise. Simply look around and view it. Anything you want to, do it. Want to change the world? There's nothing to it. There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination. Living there you'll be free. If you truly wish to be." Sang Maddie.

And the waterfall is most important. It mixes the chocolate. Churns it up. Makes it light and frothy. No other factory in the world mixes its chocolate by waterfall. Only (Y/N) and Loki does that. As the walk continued, (Y/N), Loki, Selena, and Maddie saw some pipes above them and decided to explain what they do. The pipes suck up the chocolate from the river and carry it away all over the factory. They were so proud of this room. They told the group to try the grass as it was so delectable and so good-looking.

Peter asked if they really could eat the grass. (Y/N), Loki, Selena, and Maddie said that they could. Everything in the room was eatable. They were eatable. But that's cannibalism and we don't want to get into that. But (Y/N), Loki, Selena, and Maddie let everyone roam free and have some of the candy that the room had to offer. Ned was the first to leave before everyone else followed. Flash smashed up a candy pumpkin with jam inside. His dad told him not to but Flash reminded him that (Y/N), Loki, Selena, and Maddie told them to enjoy. So, he continued. Peter tried reaching for a candy apple on one of the trees but Yelena took it instead.

She spat out her gum and put it behind her ear. Peter asked why she held onto it instead of starting a new piece. Yelena replied that she wouldn't be a champion if she did. She would be a loser, like him. Mrs. Leeds was taking some candy in her purse for later while Ned didn't hesitate to eat everything in sight. Morgan was having a lolly when she noticed a little person across the river. Melina pointed out that there were two of them but Mr. Tompson pointed out that there were more than two. These little people were taking things from the trees to be made into something later.

"Are they real people?" Flash asked (Y/N), Loki, Selena, and Maddie

"Of course they're real people. They're Oompa-Loompas," (Y/N) said

"Oompa-Loompas?" Tony asked

"Imported, direct from Loompaland."

"There's no such place," Mr. Tompson said

"What?" Loki asked almost offended

"Mrs and Mister Wonka, I teach high-school geography, and I'm here to tell you-"

"Well, then you'll know all about it, and know what a terrible country it is," Selena interrupted

(Y/N) and Loki began telling their story. The whole place was nothing but thick jungles infested by the most dangerous beasts in the entire world. Hornswogglers and snozzwangers and those terrible, wicked whangdoodles. (Y/N) and Loki went to Loompaland looking for exotic new flavors for candy. Instead, they found the Oompa-Loompas. They lived in tree houses to escape from the fierce creatures who lived below. The Oompa-Loompas ate nothing but green caterpillars, which tasted revolting.

The Oompa-Loompas looked for other things to mash up with the caterpillars to make them taste better: Red beetles, the bark of the bong-bong tree. All of them beastly but not quite so beastly as the caterpillars. But the food they longed for the most was the cocoa bean. An Oompa-Loompa was lucky if he found three or four cocoa beans a year. But, oh, how they craved them. All they'd ever think about was cocoa beans. The cocoa bean is the thing from which chocolate is made, so (Y/N) and Loki told the chief: "Come live in our factory. You can have all the cocoa beans you want! We will even pay your wages in cocoa beans if you wish!" And the chief happily agreed with their offer

"They are such wonderful workers," Maddie said smiling, "I feel I must warn you, though, they are rather mischievous. Always making jokes," Maddie giggled

"Ned, my child, that is not a good thing you do!" Mrs. Leeds said to Ned

Ned was drinking from the chocolate river.

"Hey, little boy! My chocolate must be untouched by human hands!" (Y/N) warned Ned

Despite the warning, Ned fell into the river. Mrs. Leeds was scared that he would drown as Ned couldn't swim. She tried to tell (Y/N), Loki, Selena, and Maddie to save him but they did nothing. The pipes she mentioned earlier had just arrived to do their job. The pipe went into the river and sucked up the chocolate, creating a whirlpool that started to suck Ned in. He was soon sucked up into the pipe where he got stuck.

But the pressure quickly shot him further up the pipe. Not all the way up because he stopped near the top of the pipe. He was stuck, blocking the whole pipe. Peter noticed that the Oompa Loompas started to bob and hum a tune, slowly stopping their work. Morgan asked what they were doing. (Y/N), Loki, Selena, and Maddie explained that they were going to treat them all with a song as it was a special occasion. They hadn't had a fresh audience in years. So many of them then came into view ready for their song.

'Ned Leeds, Ned Leeds. The great big, greedy nincompoop,' The Oompa Loompas said, 'Ned Leeds, so big and vile. So greedy, foul, and infantile. "Come on!" we cried "The time is ripe to send him shooting up the pipe!"'

'But don't, dear children, be alarmed,' An Oompa said

'Ned Leeds will not be harmed,' more joined in, 'Ned Leeds will not be harmed.'

They all started to dance while a few of them up on swimming caps and jumped into the river. They swam up safely and started to do starfishes around the pipe Ned was in.

'Although, of course, we must admit.'

'He will be altered quite a bit.'

'Slowly, wheels go round and round.'

'And cogs begin to grind and pound.'

'This greedy brute, this louse's ear is loved by people everywhere for who could hate or bear a grudge against a luscious bit of fudge?'

Ned finally shot up the pipe and he was gone.
