Chocolate Coated Love *Charlie and The Chocolate Factory The musical*

Chapter 13. Pure Imagination

"Wonka what kind of factory is this!" Mr.Salt demanded.

"Where's all the Chocolate!" Veruca asked.

"Violet wants candy!" Mr. Beauregard said.

"And swag!" She exclaimed.

"We were expecting an educational tour." Mrs. Teavee said.

"With tastings!" Mrs.Gloop said

"Wonka! We just wanna see all the cool stuff," Mike said, obviously already bored.

I rolled my eyes and looked around the seemingly empty room. I knew this man had something up his sleeve, but I had yet to figure out what it was.

"Stuff? Is that what you think it takes to make chocolate?" Wonka asked.

"Isn't it?" Everyone besides Charlie and I answered.

"No," He said deeply.

"What does it take Mr. Wonka!" Charlie asked excitedly.

"One thing, and one thing only," He said cryptically.

"Beans!" Mr. Beauregard exclaimed.

Wonka shot him a funny look.

"Imagination," He answered Charlie.

I watched my brothers eyes light up and a smile bloom across his face.

"Imagination? What's that?" Mike asked.

I smacked my forehead with my hand. Why the hell was this kid here?

"Close your eyes, make a wish, and count to three"

I took a deep breath and did as I was told.

"Come with me and you'll be In a world of pure imagination. Take a look and you'll see into your imagination. We'll begin with a spin, Traveling in the world of my creation. What we'll see will defy explanation." He walked around and helped us women stand.

I giggled when Agustus held his hand out expectantly only for Wonka to take it and kiss it before letting go. And walking towards a wall the just opened and revealed the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

"If you want to view paradise. Simply look around and view it. Anything you want to, do it. Want to change the world? There's nothing to it. There is no life I know. To compare with pure imagination. Living there, you'll be free, if you truly wish to be... I've been working on this for 17 and a half years. The sugar trees actually grow! The marshmallow peeps really fly! In winter it snows powdered sugar! You can ever milk the cows and get a Milkshake! Its either something out of a dream or where I grew up. Maybe I imagined it, im not sure anymore. Yours are the first eyes ever to see it: a world made completely and entirely out of candy." He said walking around and paused next to Charlie. "What do you think, Charlie?" He smiled at my brother, handing him a chocolate flower.

"Now I know. I'll never have to dream again For I've had dreams incredible, But here's a dream that is edible!" Charlie said excitedly.

"Mr. Wonka, pinch us, please. So we can taste the forest for the trees" The children said, their voices soft and filled with wonder.

"If you want to view paradise, Simply look around and view it. Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world? There's nothing to it. There is no life I know To compare with pure imagination. Living there, you'll be free, if you truly wish to be"

He motioned for us to look around and I watched with a smile as everyone scattered.

I nudged Charlie forwards and found myself a spot next to the buttercups, simply trying to take in everything around me.
