Wonka

Chapter 8: For a Moment

——————————🍫——————————

Later that night, (Y/n) found herself standing in front of the security guard at the zoo, and had given him the little blue box.

He looked at it in confusion. "What is it?"

"From Zoo Management." She told him. "Recognition for all your years of service."

"But I've only been here a year." He said, opening the box to reveal a single chocolate inside.

"...which...is why there's only one chocolate." (Y/n) lied.

"Huh. Well, thank you very much." He thanked.

"You're welcome. Goodnight!"

She walked away from the entrance, and the guard pulled down the shade to the little box-like room he was in.

She caught up with Willy behind a truck and they could see his shadow reflecting on the shade of the box.

"Well done, (Y/n)." He praised.

"So, what is it really?" (Y/n) asked him.

"It's called a Big Night Out. A single chocolate that perfectly mimics a night on the town." He explained.

They watched as the silhouette of the guard ate the chocolate.

"The outer layer, a champagne truffle."

"That's lovely." They heard him say.

"The next, is white wine."

"Yeah!"

"Followed by red."

"Now we are talking!"

"That's when the singing and dancing starts."

The guard got up and started dancing around and singing.

"We're gonna have a party tonight!" He sang.

"It's when he hits the layer of whiskey fudge he'll get emotional."

"She was the only woman I ever loved!" The guard sobbed.

"He might do something reckless."

"Oh, I'll give her a call. What harm could it do?" He picked up the phone. "Hello Gwennie, it's Basil. I just wanted to say I've always loved you. I love you so much...What?...It's Basil Bond. We sat together at chemistry in school. No, no! Don't hang up!"

"Finally, some old port from the back of the cupboard, and..."

They watched as the guard slumped in his chair and passed out.

Willy smiled. "Let's go!"

He scurried off, but (Y/n) stayed behind in slight shock at what she just witnessed.

"(Y/n), let's go!" He insisted, grabbing her hand and pulling her along.
