JULIE HID HER SMILE AS WILLY JUMPED into the laundry cart, hiding inside a laundry bag. "Come on," Julie whispered to Noodle as she took a glance to see if anyone saw. "It's going to be a bumpy ride," Julie muttered into the bags of laundry before starting to push the cart out of the lodge.

"I think we're clear," Julie told Noodle who was walking in front of the cart. Noodle nodded and opened Willy's laundry bag.

"All clear," Noodle told Willy.

"Really?"

"Yeah." Julie chuckled at the shock in Willy's voice.

"We did it!" Willy grinned as he jumped out of the cart. "Good job Noodle, Julie." Willy smiled at the two girls.

"I can't believe it worked." Noodle stated.

"Wait until you see how much chocolate I made last night. Once we sell this we'll be-" Willy cut himself off as he saw the container of chocolate he pulled out of his hat was empty. "Oh no..."

"What's going on?" Noodle asked as Julie looked at Willy in confusion.

"Not again..." Willy muttered.

"What happened to all the chocolate?" Julie questioned as Willy put the container back in his hat.

"I don't know how to tell you this but, they've been stolen." Willy placed his hat back on his head.

"Stolen?" Julie and Noodle asked simultaneously. "Who by?" Julie asked. She knew no one at the lodge would do such a thing.

"The little orange man." Oh great! This guy is schizophrenic! Julie thought to her self as she rolled her eyes.

"What?" Noodle asked flatly.

"The little orange man. I didn't tell you guys about him?" Willy asked as he looked at the two people in front of him.

"No, you didn't." Noodle stated.

"He's my nemesis. About yay high. Every night he steals my chocolates. Happens every few weeks for the past, three, four years now." Willy told them. How he expected them to believe his story, Julie had no idea.

"Really?" Noodle asked, Willy must not have understood the sarcasm in her voice because he continued.

"Sometimes I see him in the strange realm between sleep and awake. The green hair glistening in the moonlight." Julie scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"Green hair? Oh great, you're absolutely off your head. Noodle lets go." Julie went to walk away but Noodle grabbed her hand and pulled her back.

"Willy. Willy. Willy!" Noodle exclaimed making Willy snap out of whatever trance he was in. "You really don't expect us to believe this do you?"

"Of course I do! What other explanation is there?" Willy questioned as he looked around.

"Oh! I don't know maybe you go to sleep and dream of the little green ma-"

"Orange man, green hair." Willy cut Julie off.

"Green, Blue, Purple, Orange! It doesn't matter! You dream of the whatever colored man and stuff your face full of chocolates!" Julie exclaimed.

"Stuff my face-That makes a lot more sense." Julie scoffed and let go of Noodles hand. "Where's she going?" Willy asked as Julie walked past him.

"How did I think this stupid chocolate would work?" Julie asked herself.

"Hey!" Willy's voice made Julie stop and turn around to look at the tall man. "There's nothing stupid about my chocolates." The sadness is Willys voice tugged at Julie's heartstrings but she simply shook her head.

"If Ms.Scubbot would have caught us me and Noodle would be in the cooke right now!" Julie exclaimed as she walked back over to Noodle and Willy. "And I don't know about you but I don't feel like freezing my arse off for some magic chocolatier that is talking about some tiny orange man stealing his chocolate in the middle of the night!" Willy winced at the tone in Julies voice.

"Look, I'm sorry, okay? But we can make more chocolate. Only problem is that i'm out of milk." Willy sighed. Noodle shrugged and grabbed a bottle of milk off someones steps.

"Well that's not a problem. Milk." Noodle held up the bottle making Willy's eyes widen.

"A, that is stealing!" Willy quickly put the bottle back.

"If you're going to be living at the lodge, you're going to have to steal eventually." Julie told Willy.

"And, C, Willy Wonka does not use any old cows milk. For this particualr craft I require milk from a giraffe." Julie gagged but it was ignored as Noodle and Willy concersed.

"Okay. There's one at the zoo." Willy grinned and exclaimed a 'bingala!'. "But, A, the zoo is not that way." Willy quickly tuned around and walked back over to Noodle.

"And, B, they aren't going to let you just walk in there and milk it." Julie grabbed Willy's arm as he walked past.

Willy leaned down making Julies heart skip a beat, but she didn't know why. "And that my dear Julie, is why we are lucky the little orange man didn't get ahold of," Willy pulled something on the top of his cane making it pop open. "This." There was a small purple and yellow box inside his cane making Julie chuckle.

"What is that? A sleeping chocolate?" Julie joked before looking at Willy. "It's a sleeping chocolate?" Willy nodded making Julie's eyes widen. "You're going to drug them?!" Julie whisper shouted at Willy.

"Drug them-What! No! Of course not! I'm just going to give them a chocolate that will make them fall fast asleep for a while." Willy told Julie.

"That sounds like you're drugging them."
