In Mrs. Scrubbit office, she sat in Bleacher's lap, moving her feet back and forth with a smile on her face "So tell me about Bavaria"

"What?" Bleacher asked, confused

"Where you're from" her smile faded a little

"Oh, well, yes, it's very Bavarian"

Wonka was hidden in a laundry sack and was being carried away in the cart, which was pulled by Noodle. Once they were out of that place, the girl opened up the sack and looked down at him

"All clear!" she smiled

"Really?" Wonka looked up at her

"Yeah" Noodle moved a little as Willy got out of the sack "I can believe it worked"

Wonka climbed out of the laundry cart "Okay, well, now, if you would do me the honor of giving me my hat" he extended his hand

Noodle giggled "Of course" she said, passing him the hat

"Wait till you see how much chocolate I made last night" Wonka reached into his hat, taking an empty jar. He frowned "Not again..."

"What's going on?" the girl narrowed her eyes

"I don't know how to tell you this, Noodle, but... they've been stolen, by the little orange man..."

"What? A little orange man?" Noodle asked, confused

"He's my nemesis, comes in the dead of the night and steals my chocolate" Wonka explained

"Really?" she narrowed her eyes, not sure whether to believe him or not

"Yes! He also has green hair... he has been stealing from me these last few years" Wonka continued "Wait, does what I'm saying make sense?"

"...I don't know... I... never heard anything like that"

"What other explanation is there?" Wonka questioned

"...Well... maybe you eat your chocolate while you're asleep? And dream about a little green man?" She shrugged

"I... huh... that makes a lot more sense" he muttered, looking away

"And what will you do now? If Mrs. Scrubbit would seen us, I would be in so much trouble now!" Noodle exclaimed

Wonka quickly approached her "Yes, look, I'm so sorry, Noodle" he placed his hands on her shoulders "We can make more chocolate, the problem is I don't have any more milk..."

She looked around, seeing a batch of milk put aside, "Here, milk" Noodle said as she grabbed a bottle

Wonka gasped "That's stealing, Noodle!" he put the bottle back where it was "And I don't mean regular milk, I mean giraffe milk"

"Okay... well, there is a giraffe at the zoo"

"Excellent, Noodle!" the young man exclaimed, walking off

"...The zoo's not that way" she shouted after him

He stopped and turn around "Alright, thanks!" Wonka began heading the other way

"Wait!" Noodle grabbed his arm

"What?" he questioned

"They won't let you just walk in and milk a giraffe" Noodle explained

"Well, that, my dear Noodle, is gonna be very easy to do, you see the little orange man forgot about this" Wonka tapped the top of his cane, making it open up, revealing a tiny box of chocolate

"What will you do with that?" the girl asked

"Well, I have a plan, so don't worry"

When the night fall, Wonka and Noodle snuck out, beginning to head towards the zoo. She head to the box office, taking a deep breath and slid the box towards the guard

"Huh... I was told to give you this... as a thank you gift for your years of loyal service" she smiled awkwardly

"...But I've been there working for only a year..." he raised a brow in confusion

"...That's why there's a single piece of chocolate in there" Noodle murmured

When the man accepted the chocolate, Noodle quickly run to their hiding spot, behind a car

"Good! Well done, Noodle" Wonka said with a smile

"Thank... so, what does it really do?" she asked as she kneeled down beside him

"Well, it's called a big night out, the outer layer is champagne truffle, the next is white wine followed by red" Wonka explained while the two watched the man

Noodle was still a little confused

"That's when the singing and dancing starts" he added, seeing that the man got up from his chair and began to dance around "When he'll hit the layer of whiskey fudge he'll get emotional"

The man began to cry

"And he might do something reckless" Noodle saw how the man grabbed the telephone and began to dial a number, talking to some woman. Then he fell asleep

"Huh" Wonka hummed "Let's go, Sweetie" he got out of the hiding

"...Why did you call me that?" she questioned

"What? Sweetie? Well my mother used to call me that so..." he stopped before finishing the sentence "...Forget it, Noodle"

Then they snuck into the zoo
