For a Moment: Willy Wonka x Fem!Reader

Chapter 7- For a moment.. ♥️

Willy stands his coat magically on the ground. He presses a button and the arms of a coat hanger flip out from the side. He hangs his coat and hat over the cane.

He then sits on a stool to milk the Giraffe. Noodle is up a rickety step ladder scratching its chin -- and loving it.

Noodle- Have you done this before?

Willy- Once. In Africa. Magnificent beast.

Y/n- Was she wild?

Willy- Wild? She was absolutely furious! But once my hands warmed up, I think she kind of liked it.

Noodle smiles fondly and shakes her head.

Noodle- You sure can be silly, Willy.

Willy- I suppose that's true-dle Noodle.

Y/n- True-dle?

Willy- That doesn't work, does it? But nothing rhymes with Noodle. Where'd you get that name, anyway?

Noodle- Doesn't matter.

Willy- Go on.

Noodle- This

She shows him an amber she keeps on a string around her neck. The letter "N" engraved in the middle.

Noodle- It's all I have from my parents. See? 'N' for Noodle. Or Nora, or Nina.

or nothing at all.

Willy- Can't you trace the owner?

Noodle- You don't think I've tried? I've been to every jewellery store in the city.

Y/n looks at her, feeling for her. Noodle turns to the giraffe, finding in Abigail's eyes the courage to speak.

Noodle -When we were kids, we always hoped we'd find our parents. They'd live in this beautiful old building full of books. 

Y/n- And our Mom would be waiting for me at the door and I'd run into her arms and she'd give me this big hug like she wouldn't ever let me go. But then I realised it was just a stupid dream.

The chalk drawing floats away like a dream upon waking. Willy looks at them, deeply moved.

willy- There's nothing stupid about it.

Y/n- Isn't there?

Willy- Uh-uh. I know things haven't been easy for you, girls. But they're going to get better. I'm not going to let you rot in that wash house forever.

Y/n- You promise?

Willy- I can do better than that, I Pinkie Promise! And that's the most solemn vow there is!

They Pinkie Promise. Y/n is touched by his concern.

Willy- Now get scratching, we don't have long until the guard comes to-dle noodle- To-dle!

Noodle- It's not even a word.

Willy- I'll keep working on it.

Y/n quietly starts singing. - For a moment

Life doesn't seem Quite so bad.

For a moment

I kinda forgot To be sad. He turns night to day,

But don't get carried away. Never let down your guard,

Let them into your heart For a moment.

Willy has finished milking Abigail. He turns to y/n.

WILLY Care to dance?

Y/n- Sure!
