This is a Willy Wonka from the 2005 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory fanfic, requested by Anonymous.

Third Person's P.O.V

"The best kind of prize is a SUR-prise!" (Y/N) chuckles at her bosses words while the group walk down a pale coloured corridor, he seems to be getting quite good at dealing with Mike Teevee. Scribbling down on paperwork for the latest accident - Violet turning into a blueberry in the inventing room - she only really tunes back into the conversation when the group slows to a stop. Ah, another flashback. "(Y/N), is he alright?" Charlie asks, looking up at the woman with pleading and guilt filled eyes because - once again - it was his question that has stopped the chocolatier in his tracks.

"Just give him a moment." She said, finishing a note before lightly waving a hand in front of Willy's face, and his eyes seem to come back into focus, though he does not blink. "Sorry... I was having a flashback." He said in a slight daze, staring at the ground in front of him. "I see." Mr Salt goes, pulling his daughter further back, making (Y/N) roll her eyes at him, mumbling "He had a flashback, not a psychotic episode." while writing on her clipboard once again, voice just loud enough for the older gentleman to hear. "These flashbacks happen often?" Mr Teevee asks warily while Willy finally lifts his head a bit more.

"Increasingly... Today..." He seems to shake it off after that, and begins leading the group again, (Y/N) feeling a tug on her sleeve as they go. Looking down, she sees Charlie Bucket gazing up at her, still with guilt ridden eyes. "Was that my fault?" He asks as she smiles at him. He's kind, yet another point goes to the Buckets. "It's alright Charlie, many things can give someone a flashback, you just said the right thing to send Willy into one. It's not your fault." She said with a smile, ruffling the boys brown hair, who then smiles at her happily, Willy doing the same as he watches the two out of the corner of his eye.

Things go quite well from there, Willy throwing away a card from Mr Salt while he's not looking which means (Y/N) needs to suppress a laugh, before they enter the Nut Sorting Room. The kids are curious enough, and everything is calm until Veruca decides she wants a trained squirrel, and the only comedy moment that pops up is Willy perfectly imitating Mr Salt, which (Y/N) finds hilarious, but apart from the marvellous top-hatted chocolatier, she appears to be the only one. This, lead quickly on to this:

"I'll have you." Veruca said, reaching for one of the squirrels with a huge smile on her face, ignoring the warnings from Willy and the calls of her father as (Y/N) placed her pen down on her clipboard to watch the scene unfold. Because she, along with Willy, knows that the squirrels aren't so easily taken from their work. "Veruca!" Mr Salt cries out to his daughter as she is pounced on by the very squirrel she was reaching for, and the rest follow suit as Willy pulls out a huge ring of keys. "Gotta find the key... No, not that one..." He mumbles while trying one in the lock, (Y/N) glancing at him out of the corner of her eye, a small hint of a smirk pulling up on her lips while watching him stall, which he catches, and passes her a discrete wink. Luckily for her, he looks away as she blushes, her knees buckling and she needs to place a hand on the gating to hold her weight up.

It's not long before the whining girl has been tested as a bad nut and thrown down the garbage chute, then Willy had magically found the right key to open the gate and allow Mr Salt to go down and see if he can pull his child out. Oh how he wasn't expecting the Oompa Loompa's to appear and start singing around him, nor for him to get thrown down the chute. Then the Teevee's are left thinking Willy and (Y/N) are insane as they were dancing along to the song, only the female much less as she begins writing about the latest drop out. No pun intended.

"So they're going to be incinerated!?" Mr Teevee calls out, horrified that the two responsible people here don't seem too bothered by the fact. "No, the incinerator has been broken for about three weeks now." (Y/N) said, not looking up from her papers, her hand pausing slightly as she catches sight of an envelope she had tucked under them this morning, an emotion Willy - who is watching her - can't quite place flashing over her eyes. "Oh good! That leaves three weeks of rotten garbage to break their fall." Willy said cheerfully, turning back to the male while trying to keep the attention off his female employee, who seems to be having a flashback, much like he has been doing throughout the day. "Well, that's good news." Mr Teevee said, though still rather skeptically. "Yeah... Lets keep trucking!" Willy said, snapping (Y/N) out of her thoughts and walking away to leave the group to follow on behind, the woman trailing at the back as she relays all the details she can remember onto the paper to distract herself.
