Loving You Like A Magnet || Charlie Bucket fanfiction

The Inventing Room

Libby's POV
I walked into the Inventing room with Charlie still hand in hand, the room was amazing but it was a bit all over the place. There was machinery everywhere but what did I expect?
Willy: "this the most important room in the entire factory, now everyone enjoy yourselves... just don't touch anything" he says shooing us off.

Charlie drags me towards a machine that has lollipops that are glowing loads of different colours, I was amazed that Mr Wonka could even think of something like this, this man sure is creative.
Libby: "so Charlie, how are you finding the factory ?" He then turns to look at me.
Charlie: "it's great !! This is the most fun i have ever had"
Libby: "yeah, I'm just scared that when this is all over we won't talk to each other again...."
Charlie: "don't worry... we will work something out" he then wraps his arms around me and I do the same to him, I felt like crying because I've never been this happy with anyone in my life and just the thought of loosing him hurts, I know I've only known him for a couple hours but I can't help the way I feel. He slowly pulls away and looks me in the eyes, a tear falls down my cheek and his gently wipes it away.
Charlie: "don't be sad, I don't even know why you would want to be my friend"
Libby: "why would I want to be your friend ?"
Charlie: "well, my parents don't make a lot of money and all my grandparents are retired so they don't get any money either... I live in a tiny house and my bedroom window is a hole in the roof" he says as he begins to tear up "I don't have the best clothes, I have to have a mini job as a shoe polisher to try and help my family, I eat cabbage soup every night because that's the only thing we can afford..." he puts his head down. I put put my hands on either sides of his cheeks and moved his head so he is looking in my eyes.
Libby: "just because you aren't rich doesn't mean you aren't an amazing person..." Charlie just hugged me again and I hugged him back. Our moment was quickly interrupted by violet asking something obnoxiously loud.
Violet: "hey Mr Wonka what's this!?"  Me and Charlie held hands and we went to the rest of the group. My mom and Grandpa Joe were smiling at us and we returned the smile. Mr Wonka then walked over.
Willy: "let me show you" an Oompa Loompa then gave Mr Wonka the thing and it was a large ball thing which I'm guessing was a sweet. "These are everlasting gobstoppers, they are for people with little allowance money. You can suck on it all year and it would never get any smaller !!"
Violet: "it's like gum" Mr Wonka then looked at Violet in disgust.
Willy: "No, gum is for chewing. If you try chewing on one of these gobstoppers you'll break all your little teeth off." He then looks at it "they sure do taste terrific" he then puts it back into the water and leads us to another machine. "And this is hair toffee, you suck down one of these little boogers and in exactly half an hour you'll have a new crop of hair growing out of your little noggin, a moustache and a beard"
Mike: "who wants a beard ?"
Willy: "well... beatniks for one, folk singers and motorbike riders, you know all those hip, jazzy, super cool, neat, keen groovy cats. It's in the fridge daddy-o , Are you hep to the jive can you dig what I'm What I'm laying down, souls brother?" He puts his hand out for Mike to high five him but Mike just looks at him in a weird manner. He slowly puts his hand by his side making his gloved hands squeak. "Unfortunately the mixture isn't quite right yet cause an Oompa Loompa tried one yesterday and..." an Oompa Loompa walked over to the group and all you could see was hair. "How are you today?" The Oompa Loompa puts its thumbs up. "You look great" the Oompa Loompa then walks off and Mr Wonka Leads us to another machine. "Watch this" he then pulls a lever and the machine starts doing all sort of noises. The end of the machine slowly unraveled and a stick of gum cake out the end of it, Violet quickly took the gum.
Mike: "you mean that's it ?" I quickly glared at Mike and he just looked at me and his face softened, he looked hurt but god knows why, he looked down at mine and Charlie's hand and glared at Charlie.
Willy: "do you even know what it is?"
Violet: "it's gum"
Willy: "yeah, it's a stick of the most amazing gum in the whole universe. Know why ?! Know why !? Because it's a whole three course dinner all by itself... hehe"
Mr Salt: "why would anyone want that !?" He didn't know what to say so he pulled out his cue cards from earlier and began reading.
Willy: "it will be the end of all kitchens and cooking, just one strip of Wonka's magic chewing gum... and that is all you will ever need for breakfast lunch and dinner. This strip of gum is tomato soup, roast beef and blueberry pie"
Grandpa Joe: "it sounds great!!"
Veruca: "it sounds weird"
Violet: "it sound like my kind of gum" she takes her current piece of chewing gum out and puts it behind her ear and I mentally gag.
Willy: "I'd rather you didn't, there's still one or two that things that are-" he was quickly cut off
Violet: "I'm the world record holder in chewing gum, I'm not afraid of anything" she puts the gum in her mouth and starts chewing it while Mr Wonka just pulls a 'you know best' face. (Note the sarcasm)
Mrs Beauregarde: "how is it honey?"
Violet: "it's amazing !! The tomato soup, I can feel it running down my throat !!"
Mr Wonka: "yeah, spit it out !!"
Libby: "violet, I think you should listen to Mr-" she cut me off
Violet: "it's changing !! Roast beef with baked potato crispy skin and butter !!"
Mrs Beauregarde: "keep chewing kiddo !! My little girl is going to be the first person to have a chewing gum meal" she boasted while Veruca just glared at her and Violet.
Willy: "yeah I'm just a little concerned about the-" he was cut off again.
Violet: "blueberry pie and ice cream !!"
Willy: "that part"
Veruca: "what's happening to her nose?" We all looked at Violet
Mr Salt: "it's turning blue"
Mrs Beauregarde: "your whole nose has gone purple" violet touched her nose and then looked at her hand
Violet: "what do you mean?"
Mrs Beauregarde: "Violet !! Your turning violet !!" She turns to Mr Wonka "what's happening ?"
Willy: "well I told you I hadn't quite got it right... cause it goes a little funny when it gets to the dessert, it's the blueberry pie that does it... im terrible sorry" he then ducks down behind a machine. We all watched as Violet turned Blue and started swelling up
Violet:"mother, what's happening to me ?" Mrs Beauregarde looked frightened while all of us couldn't believe our eyes.
Grandpa Joe: "she's swelling up !!"
Charlie: "like a blueberry..." Violet had turned into a gigantic blueberry. Mr Wonka went up behind Mrs Beauregarde and scared her.
Willy: "I've tried it on like twenty Oompa Loompas and each one of them turned into a blueberry... it's just weird" he said while laughing nervously.
Mrs Beauregarde: "but I can't have a blueberry as a daughter !!! How is she supposed to compete ?"
Veruca: "you could put her in a county fair" I jumped in.
Libby: "orrrr you could care more about your daughters health then her success" Mrs Beauregarde looked at me and sighed.
Mrs Beauregarde: "I suppose your right" Mr Wonka looked at me with a shocked face and I just shrugged. Then the Oompa Loompas started singing and dancing.

Once the song had finished Mr Wonka was still dancing and Violet was being rolled away.
Violet: "MR WONKAAAA !!" Mrs Beauregarde went over to Mr Wonka and glared at him. Mr Wonka looked at an Oompa Loompa and began talking to it.
Willy: "I want you take Mrs Beauregarde and her daughter on the boat to the juicing room, Kay?"
Mrs Beauregarde: "the juicing room!? What are they gonna do with her there !?"
Willy: "there gonna squeeze her, like a little pimple. They need to get all that juice out of her immediately" Mrs Beauregarde got worried and ran over to her daughter and helped them roll her away. You could hear Violets cries.
Violet: "mother help me !!! Please!!" As they got quieter and quieter Mr Wonka began talking again.
Willy: "come on, let's boogie" he then lead us out of the room and began taking us somewhere else.
