Noodle drags her cart away from the laundry as y/n walks beside her. Willy is hiddenin a laundry bag on the back along with the other Workers. "He came back?!" she questioned "Yes! And y/n was there too" Noodle looked at y/n "Yeah it's true." she smiled "A little green man?" Abacus said from the bag. "Orange man, green hair." Piper pipes in "Yes! I set a trap and he walkedright into it!" Noodle looked at y/n for confirmation "So where is he?" She asked "He had a fight, you see. He won.Hit him on the head with a fryingpan, kissed my hand fair well, and jumped out the window." Noodle rolled her eyes "Of course he did." y/n nodded "Yeah he did the little Oompa Loompa beat Willy it was funny to see" Willy who was in the bag defended himself "I was not expecting it okay!"

Noodle stops the cart in the quiet alley just out of sight ofthe laundry. Willy emerges from his laundry bag. "You don't believe us, do you?" Noodle Shook her head "Honestly? No." Willy looks at the other bags "Do any of you believe me?" One by one, the others emerge from their bags. "No," they each said one by one "Definitely not." y/n and Willy frowned "I get why you won't believe Willy but what about me guys" Everyone looked at each other and shrugged "As much as we love you y/n, that is hard to believe. It could have been a dream."  y/n looks shocked "Wow okay yall I see how it is" She giggles. 

"Anyways if we have to take a day off,at least y/n can give you anotherreading lesson." Willy looks up at Noodle from the cart "Not reading." y/n smiles "Yes reading." Abacus gives the two girls a sly look "Good idea, Noodle. We'll run a fewerrands and meet while y/n does that then we can meet y/n and Willy later." y/n smiles to the gloomy Willy "It'll be fun! We're going on afield trip. To the library." She grabs his hand and leads the way waving bye to the others. 

Y/n bounds up the steps to a LIBRARY. Willy hesitates, toonervous to go in. Y/n drags him in by the hand. Y/n starts to sing as she leads Willy in. "Come with me and you'll beIn a world of pure imagination.Here for free, you can seeEvery fact and fabrication." y/n opens an atlas. "Take a look in this book You can visit every single nation,Even fly through the sky's constellations!"  y/n turns the page to an ASTRONOMICAL MAP. Willy stares inamazement as STARS LIFT OFF THE PAGE. "If you want to see Paradise,Simply turn a page and view it " y/n opens a copy of PARADISE LOST -- and Willy beams as anILLUSTRATED ANGEL FLIES OFF THE PAGE. "Find out how Da Vinci drew it?Want to go to Mars?There's nothing to it." She opens more books. Willy watches, entranced, as DA VINCI'SHELICOPTER and a JULES VERNE ROCKET fly off the pages. "Spend the day far awayIn a world of pure imagination.Stay up late reading Great--" Willy finishes for her and reads the title "Expectations!" y/n looks at him with pure joy "Say that again." she said excitedly "Great Expectations, a novel inthree volumes by Charles Dickens."y/n, I can read!" He smiles happily "You can read!" he then yells "I CAN READ!!!"  Various readers shush him. "Sorry!" he now speaks quietly "I can read! You've given me theworld, y/n. I can go anywhere." 

He hugs her tightly then He races through the library, glancing over other readers'shoulders at their books. Illustrations fly off the page andcome to life around him. "Down the rabbit hole with Alice tothe Mad Hatter's tea party! Acrossthe seas with Moby Dick! Into thecellar with Cinderella - and yes,Noodle, we shall go to the ball." The ballroom scene from Cinderella appears in the library, with hundreds of illustrated dancers waltzing around them. Willyand y/n join them. "If you want to see Paradise,Simply turn a page and view it.Find out how Da Vinci drew it?Want to go to Mars?There's nothing to it." everyone starts to sing. The library clock chimes twelve and the illustrated peopledescend back into their books. The spell is over.Y/n sings the last verse alone "There is no life I knowThat compares with pure imagination.But now he's made me dreamThere's a better world for me."  Willy looks around, awestruck. "A whole world of literature,y/n. Where should we start?" She smiles as she grabs his hand and then a book "How about here?"
