Pure Imagination

One night in the early summer months, I find myself walking through town with Willy Wonka, hand in hand, when he suddenly pulls me to a stop and turns me to face him. He wears his usual grin, but the nervous undertone is not normal for the overly confident man. He cups my face gently in his palms and tilts it forward, pressing a light, affectionate kiss to my forehead.

It's not the first time he's done it, either. Multiple times during our stroll, he's stopped and pulled me close, seeming nervous, before simply kissing my forehead and continuing on.

"Are you alright, Willy?" I ask softly, staring up at him.

"Hmm?" He hums. "Why wouldn't I be, my love?"

"You're awfully affectionate today."

"Am I not allowed to love on my girlfriend?"

"You are, but-" I pause. "You know what? Nevermind."

The two of us finally reach our destination, an abandoned rooftop with the perfect view of the sunset. He tugs me along to the railing at the edge, leaning against it as he watches me. He just admires me for a while, not paying any mind to the sunset, his beautiful chocolate-brown eyes filled with adoration. Finally, he steps closer and cups my face again, a hint of anxiousness in his eyes as he gazes at me before sinking to one knee.

He fiddles around in his pocket for a moment before procuring a ring, clasped tightly in his slightly shaking hands.

"Come with me, and you'll be, in a world, of pure imagination..."

My breathing is instantly shaky, a hand coming up to cover my mouth. Tears fill my eyes as I stare down at him, on one knee, asking me to marry him. The only thing I've ever really wanted in life was someone that loved me enough to keep me.

"Reach out, touch, what was once, just in your imagination."

I hesitantly reach out and brush a lock of his unruly brown hair out of his eyes, my hands shaking, and I'm biting my lip a little to hold myself back from grinning like an idiot. But I'm hesitant, shy. What if he doesn't like who I am once hes stuck with me forever? What if he doesn't actully love and he's just leading me on? What if I'm not good enough?

"Don't be shy, it's alright if you feel a little trepidation..."

As he continues singing, my heart fills with warmth. He knows me so well. 

"Sometimes these things don't need explaination."

I stare down into his warm brown eyes, feeling like I'm drowning in chocolate. (haha, you see what I did there?) I nod.

He slides the ring on my finger, the anxiousness that was present in his smile now nowhere to be found. He stands, wrapping an arm around my waist, his other hand still holding mine, the one that now shows that I'm promised to him. He leans his forehead down against mine. 

"If you want to view paradise, simply look at them and view it..."

I smile up at him, a wave of elation washing over me.

"Somebody to hold on to, it's all we really need, nothing else to it."

He leans down and kisses me softly.

*TIMESKIP*

We're running, hand in hand, laughter trailing behind us as we traverse the winding roads and alleyways of London. 

"Come with me, and you'll be in a world of pure imagination."

I grin at him, marvelling at the fact that my fiance can sing and run at the same time. We finally stop on the outskirts of town, a ruined castle off to one side, a for sale sign hanging from the front of the bridge across the river that's sparkling in the sunlight. Willy starts towards it at a walk to let me get a good look, and when he sings his next verse, I sing along.

"Take a look, and you'll (I'll) see into your (my) imagination."

He leads me inside the ruin, bowing to me in an invitation to dance when we reach the center. I take his outstreched hand, curtseying back, a bright smile on my face. 

"We'll begin with a spin,"  we both sing, giggling as he twirls me around. "Travelling in the world of my (your) creation."

He pulls me flush against him again, his signature smile even wider than normal as we dance in the middle of an old ruined castle.

"What we'll see will defy explaination,"  We sing, as Willy takes my hand and leads me up a set of stairs. 

We stop at the top of the spiral staircase, coming out at the top of the main wall. 

"If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it."

I look out at the view in awe, my imagination running wild with all the possibilities. 

"Anything you want to, do it, wanna chance the world? There's nothing to it." Willy grins at my expression.

*TIMESKIP*

Six months later, we've officially tied the knot. The wedding was held in the old ruined castle, and it was the best day of my life.

Eighteen months later, and I have some news to share with my husband. 

"My love," I call, walking into the sugary wonderland he's created out of that old castlle we got married in. His chocolate factory. And I couldn't be more proud.

"Yes, my darling wife?" He loves calling me that, reminding either him or me that I'm his wife I'm not sure. He steps out from behind a giant lollipop, pulling a funny face at me. 

I giggle at him before wrapping my arms around his middle, resting my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. He returns the embrace, holding me close against him. 

"I have news to share," I murmur. 

"What news?" 

"You know how you've always said you couldn't wait to teach your child to make chocolate..."

He freezes. "...really?" He looks down at me, eyes wide with surprise and smile wide with joy.

I nod, biting my lip as I smile. He lifts me up in his arms, spinning me around as he holds me against him. 

"There is no life, I know, to compare with pure imagination."

I giggle, my arms wrapping around his neck so I don't go flying. He finally sets me back on my feet, his smile still just as wide. I sing with him for the next verse.

"Living there, you'll be free, if you truly wish to be."
