(The next day while at school Vivian pulls out the bag that was given by Charlie out of her pocket. Curious about what the cubes are, she pulls one and smells it. Vivian pop the cube in her mouth and starts chewing. Vivian then puts the rest of the cubes in her locker for later)

Shelby: Hey girl!

Vivian: Hey. Have you guys tried this gum yet? It tastes like tomato soup

Shelby: A gum that tastes like tomato soup? I don't know about...

Vivian: Wait! Now it tastes roast beef!

Harper: Must be one of those exotic flavored candy

Vivian: Baked potatoes with butter?!

Harper: Wait, hold on. Tomato soup? Roast beef? Baked potatoes? That's no ordinary gum. It's....

Vivian: Blueberry pie and ice cream

Shelby (nervously): It is!

(As she continued chewing, the girls began noticing Vivian's nose turning blue)

Shelby: Vivian, your nose

Vivian (confused): What about it?

Shelby: It's changing color

Vivian (confused): What are you talking about?

Harper: look! (Harper holds out a compact mirror)

Vivian: What's happening to me?!

Shelby: The same thing that happened to your mother

Vivian: You mean I'm going to turn into a...

Harper: Not if you spit out the gum

Vivian: I can't stop now. I've already gotten through dessert!

(As Vivian kept on chewing, her skin, hair, and clothes became fully blue and her hips lower body began to swell up. Her bum then starts doubling in size as well as her stomach. Vivian's whole body starts swelling, and her cheeks swelling and her eyes turn blue as well. Vivian's head, hands, and feet are sucked into her body. Vivian stops swelling and she is unable to move due to her roundness and size. Some people pulled out their phones and began taking pictures, while others just stand there)

Vivian: Someone call my mother!

Shelby: I'm on it

(Shelby contacted Violet and she answered)

Violet: Hello? Oh Hey Shelby. My daughter became a what?!

(Violet ran to her car, started the engine, and zoomed off to the school)

Violet (to a crowd of students): Ok! Ok! Out of my way! Mom is coming through!

Vivian: Mother?!

Violet: Vivian, honey. What happened?!

Vivian: I chewed gum

Violet: Let me guess...3 course meal flavor?

Vivian: Unfortunately

Violet: Don't worry. Everything is going to be alright

Vivian: Alright?! I'm a ten foot blueberry!

Violet: Not for long!

(Violet walked behind Vivian in order to roll her)

Vivian: Now I know you feel. I'm sorry about everything mother!

Violet: No worries Honey, All I'm worried about is getting you back normal. Someone help roll to the entrance. I need to get my Vivian outside

Harper: But she won't be able to fit through. With her being a giant blueberry and all

Violet: You're right. Which is why I called backup

(Out of nowhere, Charlie appeared in the hallway. The students were shocked about who they were seeing)

Shelby: You're Mr Bucket. The new owner of the chocolate factory

Charlie: I came here to save Vivian. It seems I might have accidentally gave her a bag of 3 course dinner flavored gum. But no worries, I have a cure

(Charlie began scaling the lockers to reach Vivian. Charlie then reached into his pocket and grabbed a silver colored candy ball)

Vivian: What is that?!

Charlie: No questions, just trust me on this. Open your mouth

(Without question, Vivian opened her mouth and Charlie plopped the candy ball in her mouth. Vivian began deflating back to her normal size, and changed back to her normal color).

Vivian: I'm not a blueberry anymore, and I'm not permanently blue!

Violet: What? How?

Charlie: De-swelling drops. Your book taught me a lot

Violet: I guess you have

(As everyone is walking outside. A news team starts crowed Vivian)

Vivian: What the....

News anchor #1: Vivian. How did it feel when you became a blueberry?

Vivian: What?

News anchor #2: Did know it was going to happen?

Vivian: Huh?

News anchor #3: Do you have any other concerns?

Vivian: What is going on here?

News Anchor #1: There you have it folks, Vivian Beauregard-Gripes (nicknamed "Blueberry Girl") has no comment on any of this. Back to you Tom

(As the news team continue talking at once, Charlie pulled out a tiny purple colored rectangle. He threw it at the news team and the bar exploded and out came a purple gel like substance that began rock solid instantly. The news team tried getting out but they were trapped).

News anchor #1: Hey, what gives?!

Violet: Leave my daughter only. It wasn't her fault. If anything it's my fault. It's my fault I was caught in the fame! It's my fault for keeping my daughter live a normal life! And It's my fault for not tell my own daughter the Charlie Bucket is her god-father

(Vivian smiled and hugged her mom tightly)

Vivian: That's all I wanted to hear. I get it now. The gum, and card. It was planned by both of you.

Charlie: That's just to show you that your mother truly loves you

Violet: He's right. Like mother, like daughter. Blueberries for life

Vivian: If I'm being completely honest, I kind of liked being a blueberry

Shelby: Speaking of blueberry, I still have your bag of gum if you still want it

Vivian: Thanks. I'll take that

(Vivian took the bag and placed it in her pocket for later)

Vivian: What a day. Let's go home

Violet: Same

(The two walk home)
