"i'd like a word with you, young lady!" mr. fickelgruber screamed at you as he walked inside his shop.
"you think you could be with wonka? pathetic! over my dead body." he said, stirring some tea.
you sat on a couch and completely ignored him as he went on a tangent.
"and your little boyfriend is going to die tonight!" he grinned.
your eyes widened as you lunged forward.
"what? what do you mean?"
"mmm, i don't have to tell you anything." mr. fickelgruber teased you.
you sighed, but the lack of information didn't stop you one bit.

around evening, your father left the chocolate shop. you followed him, obviously. it was the only logical thing to do to save willy! you slyly slipped out of the door, making sure to make no sounds within the plan.
first, you had to go to scrubbit's so ms. scrubbit  could bail you out, obviously. legally, you were still a prisoner of her. you tapped your feet nervously as she set you all free one by one. she called you second to last, leaving noodle final of all. as you left, you heard ms. scrubbit yelling at noodle, so you put your ear up against the door to listen. she went on about how the sovereigns that mr. slugworth gave her was to keep noodle and not free her. you panicked. noodle wasn't in the risk of death, but willy was. you would tell willy later about noodle's entrapment, then you would all rescue her! but, willy needed your help; immediately!

you ran through the town, in search for your dad's shoe prints in the frosty ground. the chocolate cartel members each had a special print in their shoe, indicating their group. you kept your eyes on the ground as you scampered around, you finally located the mark. you narrowed your eyes as you followed the faint prints, you arrived to the docks.
"what are they doing here?" you wondered out loud, but kept your volume down. you noticed willy standing at the dock with the chief, and of course the chocolate cartel. it appeared that they were all talking together... 

was willy about to get on that boat and leave forever? 

you scampered closer to the docks to hear better., hiding behind a small bush. you listened into their conversation. all they were talking about was having economy... boring travel stuff. but, then you realized it wasn't just travel stuff. it was what willy would be experiencing on his boat ride to the North Pole! you immediately begun to panic, looking around. the sun was totally down, so it could be easier to hide. you saw willy step onto the ship and walk to a snow-covered bench. the sound of the steam horn blow signified that the boat was nearing take-off.

you made a run for it. you sprinted as fast as you could from the bush to the boat, running past the group of evil chocolatiers. 

"y/n! where are you going?!" mr. prodnose stupidly asked.

"to try to save willy, you idiot!" mr. fickelgruber answered.

"we know something you don't, y/n..." said mr. slugworth in an ominous tone. 

you nervously looked back with hesitation, but continued your mission to save willy. you looked around the boat, then almost immediately found where he was. you quickly approached him, but stopped in your tracks as you saw the little orange man.

"wait, he's real?" you looked down in disbelief, the Oompa Loompa glaring at you.

"I'll have you know, I am very real." he said sassily. you widened your eyes toward him, but then looked back at willy. 

"look, I don't know what's going on on this boat, but I know it's bad. like really bad." you said, looking around for possible dangers. 

"do you know how to swim?" willy asked, a nervous chuckle following behind the question.

you shook your head nervously, then looked around. 

"who's driving this boat?" you asked willy.

"the trusty captain, of course." the Oompa Loompa answered. you and willy exchanged quick glances, then ran to the captain's den. the Oompa Loompa ran behind as quick as his little legs took him. 

"wait for m -" 

dynamite was roped to the wheel, the spark nearing the bomb. 

willy gasped as the Oompa Loompa puffed out a life vest out of nowhere. he jumped in the water so effortlessly to escape, but you and willy ran to grab his luggage first.

"will the water hurt your equipment?" you worriedly asked. willy shook his head.

"don't worry about that, we need to get you to the surface." willy held your hand. you looked at him with fear. what if you didn't make it? at least you would be in willy's arms. you put your hands on his cheeks as he shifted his hands from your hands to your waist. you kissed him as if it were the last time you would be in each others' presence, maybe it was. he took in your kiss deeply as he twisted his arms around you for a hug.

"we should probably stop and actually... swim away." you said, smiling at him while remaining in deep and hypnotized eye contact. willy gripped your hand you both looked at each other before jumping.

"ready?" he asked.

you inhaled nervously.

"ready." 

the two of you jumped in unison, a splash rippling through the water. willy tugged you along as he paddled away decently quick, as he ran out of breath, a huge boom erupted from the exploding boat. back at the docks, the chocolatiers gained satisfaction from the bang in the ocean.

"looks like our problem has been dealt with, hm, Felix?" mr. slugworth nudged mr. fickelgruber.

he paused for a moment due to the fact he may have just lost his daughter at his fault, but at least willy was gone. so, he nodded.

but, little did they know, you were both alive. 

willy gasped for air above the currents of the water as he tried to keep you up, but a wave came crashing down, pulling you both under. willy swam up, but noticed you weren't to be seen. 

"y/n?" he called out, looking around. he then felt your fingers brush against his ankle, so he immediately dove under water. he felt around in the dark depths until he found your wrist. he pulled you up, putting you on his back. it turns out the waves carried you guys closer to shore. willy carried you through the more shallow area, laying you on the ground.

he looked at your unconscious body, climbing on top of you gently. he straddled your body, taking a deep breath in, preparing for CPR. as he leaned down to regenerate your knocked out body, you lightly blinked, slowly waking up. but, you didn't want him to not give you mouth-to-mouth, obviously. you closed your eyes again as willy attached his lips to yours in order to bring you awake. you fluttered your eyes open, smiling as you were greeted by willy grinning in relief over you. he yanked you up as he realized you had been awakened and hugged you tightly. 

as you both hugged, you told willy about what happened to noodle and how you all needed to band together to save her and expose the chocolate cartel. 

you both laid out the perfect plan for success, and decided to sleep on the shore for the night. willy laid his cloak out so you and him didn't get too sandy. as you both laid flat, you gazed at the starry sky. you turned over to willy and silently smiled. he noticed you and did the same.

"tomorrow, everything is gonna be different." he said, brushing your hair behind your ears with his soft hands. you delicately wrapped your fingertips around his and tilted your head slightly. 

"I know, willy. I know."
