"The chocolate room."

Everyone walked in and gawked at the sight of my room made from candy and my imagination.

"Hold your breath. Make a wish. Count to three. Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination. Take a look,' I whipped my cane in front of Violet and Veruca, 'and you'll see into your imagination.'

I made my way down the stairs teasing everyone, 'we'll begin,' I whipped my cane again, 'with a spin, travelling in the world of my creation. What we'll see will defy,' I whipped my cane again stopping the two girls who were fighting, 'explanation.'

I started walking down the stairs going up and down until I whipped my cane one last time stopping everyone.

'If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it. Anything you want to, do it,' I continue singing as I stroke Mike's hair, 'want to change the world,' I pulled a hair and dropped it, 'there's nothing to it.'

Final descent down the stairs and I finally let everyone explore and eat the candy. (Y/N) asked if she could have some too and I told her she could but not to have too much incase she got sick. She ran off and I walked around.

I poked my cane in a mushroom cap and used it as a parasol, 'there is no life I know to compare with pure imagination. Living there you'll be free if you truly wish to be.'

I continued walking around helping the other kids grab the candy and tried my best to watch over (Y/N). I really don't want her to be sick. I haven't felt with her being sick and I don't really want to yet.

I kicked some candy balloons in my path and walked up to a candy cane tree, 'if you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it. Anything you want to, do it. Want to change the world,' I took a leaf from the tree and ate it, 'there's nothing to it.'

I finished the leaf and walked over to a dandelion teacup bed taking my hat off and putting it in front of me.

'There is no life I know,' I took a cup, 'to compare with pure imagination. Living there,' I took a sip, 'you'll be free if you truly,' and another, 'wish to be.'

I drank the rest before taking a bite out of it.

"What a disgusting, dirty river," I heard Mrs Gloop say about my chocolate river.

"It's industrial waste, that," Mr Salt told her, "you've ruined your watershed, Wonka. It's polluted."

"It's chocolate," (Y/N) told him as I walked over.

"That's chocolate?" Veruca asked.

"That's chocolate," Charlie said amazed.

"A chocolate river," Violet also said amazed.

"That's the most fantastic thing I've ever seen," Grandpa Joe said.

"Ten thousand gallons an hour. And look at my waterfall. That's the most important thing. It's mixing my chocolate. It's actually churning my chocolate. You know, no other factory in the world mixes its chocolate by waterfall," I turned to Mr Salt, "but it's the only way if you want it just right..."

Charlie then pointed out the Oompa Loompa's working on the other side of the river. Everyone started asking questions and I told them what they were doing after Mrs Teevee asked. (Y/N) told them what the Oompa Loompa's are and I explained where they were from, what's it's in Loompaland and how I found them. Charlie then pointed out Augustus drinking from my chocolate river and I begged him not to do that because he'd contaminate my entire river and ended up falling in. Everyone was concerned for him but I was concerned about my chocolate.

"Don't just stand there, do something!" Mrs Gloop told me.

"Help. Police. Murder," I said flatly.

Charlie offered Augustus a giant lollipop to help him out but he slipped and went under. I picked up (Y/N) because she was uncomfortably close to the edge and I don't want her falling in too. I took out a bar of chocolate for us to share while everyone wondered what would happen to him. I had to tell Mrs Gloop that the suction of the pipe had already got him so he couldn't be helped now. We watched as he got stuck in the pipe before the pressure shot him up ready to go to the fudge room.

"He's gone! He'll be made into marshmallows in five seconds!" Mrs Gloop said.

"Impossible, my dear lady, that's absurd! Unthinkable!" I tell her putting the chocolate bar away.

"Why?"

"Because that pipe doesn't go to the marshmallow room; it goes to the fudge room!"

"You terrible man!"

I open my coat and, with (Y/N)'s help, take out a pipe whistle and play it, calling an Oompa Loompa over, "take Mrs Gloop straight to the fudge room, but look sharp! Or her little boy is liable to get poured into the boiler."

"You've boiled him up, I know it!" Mrs Gloop said as the Oompa Loompa took her away.

"Nihil desperandum, dear lady. Across the desert lies the promised land. Goodbye, Mrs Gloop. Adieu! Auf wiedershen! Gesundheit. Farewell."
(Translation: nothing to despair, goodbye, bless you.)

The Oompa Loompa's started singing and I went to another side of the river ready to continue the tour.

"Daddy?" (Y/N) said.

"Yes, my dear?" I ask.

"Will he be okay?"

"Nothing to worry about him, my little gumdrop. He will be just fine."

Once the Oompa Loompa's song was over, I told them we were going to take a boat trip on the Wonkatania in french. The Wonkatania arrived and I let everyone on. I sat at the front with (Y/N) on my lap. The boat started sailing down the river and I listened to everyone talk to each other and (Y/N) offered a Rainbowdrop to Mrs Teevee when she said she might be seasick. (Y/N) loves those Rainbowdrops. We headed towards a dark tunnel where disgusting images flashed on the walls and I told the Oompa Loompa's to go faster. Before we went in the tunnel, I told (Y/N) to close her eyes while I covered her ears. (Y/N) closed her eyes and hid behind her blanket. As the boat ride continued, everyone wanted off but quickly stopped talking when I started singing in a creepy way. Everyone got scared and I eventually told the Oompa Loompa's to stop the boat and they did in front of the inventing room.

(A/N: Sorry this took so long to post. I have an excuse but I'll be writing an update about that in a second. See you next chapter)
