Wonka

Chapter 3: Galéries Gourmet

——————————🍫——————————

The next day, Willy was at the very front of the crowd that was waiting for the Galéries Gourmet to open. As soon as the gates parted, Willy marched right inside and headed for the empty store space that was for rent.

He looked up at it, and closed his eyes, reaching into his pocket to pull out a small chocolate bar, with the word 'Wonka' written on it. The cover of the bar was old and worn, but Willy still looked at it with fondness.

"Here we go, Mama." He whispered.

Willy set his suitcase down, and stepped on top of it, like it was a mini stage. He set his cane down in the ground, and pulled the top up to reveal a smaller pole hidden in the bigger one.

A small blue flag extended from the top of the cane with a little golden 'W' on it.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the Galéries Gourmet, my name is Willy Wonka, and I have come to show you a marvelous morsel, an incredible edible, an unbeatable eatable, the like of which this world has never seen. So quiet up, and listen down...no, scratch that, reverse it. I present to you, the Hoverchoc."

He lifted up his hand, to show a small piece of chocolate, shaped like an egg. He also pulled out a small harmonica and started playing it, allowing the Hoverchoc to open and close the outside of its shell.

Just outside the entrance of the building, Noodle and (Y/n) were walking by, wheeling a giant wagon filled bags of laundry, when they paused to watch Willy's presentation.

🎵Willy: "In a...jungle near Mumbai, there's a little hoverfly, whose wings go at a thousand flaps a second, that's no lie. These microscopic fleas, like chocolate more than leaves."🎵

Willy took off his hat and reached inside, pulling out a jar full of the Hoverchocs.

🎵Willy: "And when asked nicely, lay precisely one little egg in each of these."🎵

Willy was gathering a nice crowd around him, which also drew attention from some of the other chocolate stores. Three in particular.

Arthur Slugworth, a man with dark skin, in a blue striped suit, Gerald Prodnose, a shorter man with short blonde hair and a mustache in a yellow suit, and Felix Ficklegruber, a tall thin man with short black hair and a thin mustache, wearing a green suit.

🎵Willy: "When it hatches from its shell, it gives a happy yell, Woohoo! How thrilling to be living in a chocolate hotel. It beats its wings with glee, and then as you will see..."🎵

Willy lifted the lid off the jar, and all the chocolates started floating up and out into the air.

🎵Willy: "The chocolate will levitate and float most gracefully."🎵

The crowd gasped in complete shock, (Y/n), who was standing by the entrance looked up in awe.

Prodnose himself was so startled by the flying chocolate, spit his drink out onto the window of his shop.

🎵Willy: "Well, there's chocolate, and there's chocolate. But only Wonka's makes your eyes pop out their socke-lets."🎵

The little eggs started flying around in circles among the crowd.

🎵Willy: "Put your hand into your pocke-let, get yourself some Wonka chocolate. Come now, I insist."🎵
