Here's 4!
"Oh,darling,We're so happy for you!" ,exclaimed Mrs. Bucket as she hugged Willy and Casandra. "So,when will the wedding be?" aksed grandma Josephine with a hint of excitment in her voice. "We haven't really set a date yet," Willy replied. "I just made the proposal a few minutes ago!" "We had better get started soon though.I don't think I can wait any longer!" ,said Casandra as she hugged Willy. "I can help with decorations.",said Mrs. Bucket with hopefulness in her voice. "That is,if you want me to.There's so many Oompa Loompa's around here,you really wouldn't need me!" "Oh,but I would love to have your help,Mrs. Bucket!",said Casandra. "I'm sure you're a wonderful decorator!" "I know a thing or two about it.I"m not bragging or anything,of course!" ,said Mrs. Bucket as she sat down at the table. "Let's talk about all of this later," said grandpa George impatiently, "I'm ready to eat!"
Everyone sat down at the table with Mrs. Bucket and gave out plates and silverware to one another. The Bucket's had a very nice dinner,complete with all of Casandra's favorite foods. They had southwestern eggrolls,rice and oddly enough,pasta. Casandra loved food's from different countries. She couldn't figure out why or how they had known that though. At this point,Casandra began to get suspicious. "I'll talk to Willy about this later,even though I'm dying to ask him now.",Casandra said to herself. After eating,Willy and Casandra again thanked the Bucket's and headed out the door. "Don't forget to tell us when the wedding is!" cried Mr. Bucket as Willy and Casandra walked to the elevator. "We won't!",reasured Casandra.
Casandra and Willy entered the elevator and pushed the button labled "Terrific View". "This room is at the top of the factory." ,said Willy. "We can stand up there and just look around if you want." He put his arm around Casandra. "I'd love to.",Casndra said as she hugged him. After a while,the elevator stopped at "Terrific View" and Mr.-and-Mrs.-Wonka-to-be stepped out. "No wonder he named this place 'Terrific View'! It's absolutely beautiful!" ,Casandra thought. And it was. They could see the whole city below them. It was getting dark outside as Willy and Casandra watched the lights flash on all over the large city under their feet. They stood and talked with each other for almost an hour,then Casandra remembered what she needed to ask Willy. "Darling," Casandra started, "How did the Bucket's know I liked foreign food?" Willy suddenly looked speechless,then he replied, "Ummm,I guess they just knew.Strange,huh?" Casandra could see without doubt that he was lying to her "But,how could they know?" Casandra questioned with frustration. "I mean,they haven't even known me a day!You haven't either,but you seem to have known me my whole life!" Casandra didn't mean to shout,but she was just so confused. "Calm down." Willy said quietly,trying to comfort her. "I wanted to tell you this later but,look's like it can't wait." Willy took Casandra's hand and looked her in the eyes. "I have known you almost your whole life," Willy admitted "After you watched my movie and fell in love with me,I saw that no one else had ever cared about me so much and I fell in love with you too. I watched you secretly,examining your heart and way of life. I discovered you were the only one for me. Nobody else made me feel the way you did." Tears again filled Casandra's eyes as she listened to Willy's confession. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier." Willy looked down at the ground,feeling a little guilty. "I wanted to really and truly be with you forever. I didn't want to just watch you drift farther and farther away from me.I wanted to be your husband and give you everything your heart desired.So,I brought you here to my factory through your dreams.I invented a new candy that allowed me to do it.So,when the time was right,I took advantage and brought you here to become my wife." Casandra was awestruck by what he had just told her.She just looked at him for a few seconds then said, "So...what's happening right now is nothing but a dream I will soon wake from?" Her face had a very worried and sad look on it. "No,of course not!",said Willy with joy. "Do you think I would bring you here just to be with me one time?No way!We are going to get married and live together in my factory forever!" This time,it was Casandra's turn not to know how to feel.Finally,she said, "I'm overjoyed at what you just said,darling,but does that mean I will never get to see my family and home again?" Another tear ran down her face. "Well,maybe,I donno.I'll have to invent another candy to get you and I back to reality and out of this dream.Otherwise,you'll never wake up and you will probably get buried alive on account of people believeing you to be dead.",Willy said,sounding very casual. "What?!",Casandra screamed. She couldn't be buried alive! She couldn't never go back home! "Oh,Willy! What have you done?" Casandra sobbed as she absolutely burst into tears. Despite her anger and sadness towards him,she buried her face in Willy's chest and cried and cried. He held her tight,knowing he had definitely made a mistake by telling her how he had known her.
Sad,huh?They'll get over and out of it though.Just keep looking for chapter 5.Willy will find a way.He always does.Hey,he's the famous candy man,is there anything he can't do?
