IRIS POV 

It has been almost a month since Amber and Willy had been together in this factory. Willy is often on dinner parties with important people from this town. Something that he didn't bother before. But now he s acting like the millionare he is. 

I was walking through the factory when I saw a siluette sitting infront of the chocolate fall... I got inside of the room and walked closer. Willy was sitting there just staring at the waterfall. 

"Hey stranger" I said as I walked and sat next to him. 

"I feel like a stranger" He said with sadness in his voice. 

"Why do you say that?" I asked looking at him. He was wearing what looked like n expensive tuxedo and his curls were combed to the back. Something inusual for him. 

"I'm often at parties with boring people who just talks numbers and numbers. They don't care about my chocolate. Just how much money they will win. " He said a little down. I touched his shoulder and he looked at me. He gave me a soft smile. 

"I miss you. I feel like I haven't seen you in forever, eventhough we work together and live in the same home." He said looking at me. 

"I miss you too... you are not the same Wonka I-" I said and stood quiet. 

"You what?" He whispered looking at me and getting closer.  I love. 

"That I ... I.... knew" I said. He looked down and got a little away from me. 

"Well people change... I need to be a serious person so they can take me seriously. That's what Amber says." He said. 

"Well I believe you have to do what you love and things will come easily, money, fame. And if is not with those boring people, they will be another who will apreciate the Willy Wonka full of magic. I missed your magic." I said smiling at him. 

"My magic? You believe in my magic?" He asked looking at me. He looked at my eyes then to my lips. He got closer and closer. 

"Yes" I whispered. "You made me believe in magic, friendship and.... love" I said letting a breath. This was it... His eyes sparkled and his smiled grew. 

"Iris... you..."He said as his lips almost touched mine. 

"WILLYKINS!!" We heard a voice screamed through the factory. It was Amber. He rolled his eyes and got up. 

"I have to go. This is the party where I will meet the investors that will help me expand to America. I have to make a really good impression." He said fixing his bow.  I got up and helped him. 

"You will do great. Remember who you are. You are Willy Wonka, the famous magician and chocolatier. "  I said placing my hands on his shoulders, He smiled and kissed my cheek. 

"Thank you" He said, leaving to meet Amber. I sat and stayed a while. 

I was sitting there watching the waterfall well chocolate fall when I felt someone sitting beside me. I looked at him and it was one of the oompa loompas.

"When are you going to tell him?" He said in a British accent. That surprised me. No oompa loompa have ever spoken to me.

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"This is getting boring. You like him, he likes you. Kiss and be over with it." He said drinking what looked like a martini?

"Who are you?" I asked.

"My name is Lofty. And I was the first Oompa loompa here. Let me tell you a story with a song. " He said taking off a flute.

"Please don't!" I said.

"Too late... Once we start we can't stop." He sang how he met Willy. (AUTHOR NOTE: IF YOU DON'T KNOW...I RECOMMEND TO WATCH THE MOVIE ;)

"Wow! That was quite an adventure." I said after he finished his story. He nodded. Then all of a sudden I heard thunder. That made me jump.

"Are you alright, darling?" Lofty asked. "Should we call Willy?" He asked.

"No! He needs to be in that party. He needs to expand his store and accomplish his dream.He needs to be there. " I said my heart starting to beat faster. "I'll just go to my room and I will be fine." I said, almost running to get under my sheets.

"Okay. Iris, let's count. 1,2,...umm 1, 2. What's after 2?" Another thunder.

"Oh God!" I said aloud.

WONKA POV

I went into the party with Amber in my arm. Everyone salute me and Amber. They all told me that she was so beautiful and so elegant. Worthy of me. A future millionaire. I just smiled and thank them.

"Daddy!" I heard Amber shout and then we met the Johnsons. We talked. Well, they talked about my store and how they will save money if they didn't let the kids try on my candy and if I took out the "magic tricks".

"But... My store is magical" I said.

"We want quality Mr. Wonka, elegance. Not Magic." Robert said.

"But candy and magic makes people happy and that makes me happy." I said. "I made that store to bring magic to people's life."

"Darling... Daddy knows about business. He knows what he is talking about. " Amber said faking a smile and kissing my cheek. Then I heard it. Thunder.

"Is it raining?" I asked. "There is thunder?"

"We are safe here. Don't tell me you are afraid of a little thunder." Sam Johnson laughed at me.

"I have to go." I said.

"Willykins. The party isn't over.. daddy will see this as a bad manner. You leaving him here. This could ruin your chance of expanding the store." Amber said.

"I'm sorry gentleman, but someone needs me." I said walking away. Amber grab me by my arm.

"Where are you going!? You can't leave me here!" Amber screamed at me.

"Iris needs me and I will be there for her!" I said grabbing my coat.

"If you walk out of that door, this is over. I don't want to ever see you again" Amber said.

"Well.... What a shame" I said in a sarcastic way.

"You are ruining your life! Your dream for her! For that bitch!" Amber said stomping her feet like a little girl.

"She is my dream. I might even like her more than chocolate. " I said smiling walking out the door.
