As Willy and Casandra were walking back to the Bucket’s house, they saw Charlie getting into the pink sugar boat. “Hello,” Charlie shouted as he looked over his shoulder and saw Willy and Casandra coming towards him. “I need your help with something in the inventing room,” Willy said. However, Before Charlie could question him, Willy hopped into the boat and ordered the Oompa Loompa’s to take them to the inventing room. While on the way there, Charlie asked Willy what the trouble was. After being told about the situation, Charlie looked very confused. “You mean you brought her here through her dreams?” “Yes. How else could I? People don’t know we exist, so we don’t. In reality at least. Only in our devoted fans hearts and dreams. So I had no other choice,” Willy replied, tossing his head in a matter-of-fact way. “Well, we had better invent something to get her back quick before it’s too late!” exclaimed Charlie.
Once they arrived at the inventing room, for the second time that day, everyone got out of the boat and started looking around for good ingredients. “Hey Willy,” Charlie said, “How about testing some wham bangers and cotton spice on the Oompa Loompa’s?” “That might work! Let’s see,” Willy said as he walked over to Charlie carrying a box of cotton spice in his hands. Charlie took the two ingredients and mixed them together in a big vat filled with water and sugar. After a couple of minutes, Charlie fished around in the vat and pulled out a tiny, hard piece of rainbow colored candy. He handed it to an Oompa Loompa, who immediately popped the candy in his mouth. The Oompa Loompa gave an approving smile, and then disappeared! “Where did he go?” asked Casandra, as she looked around the room in shock. “I think he went to the real world,” Charlie said happily. “We did it! We did it!” Willy chanted with child-like excitement, as he hugged Casandra. “We had better see if another Oompa Loompa can get to the same place as the other when he eats the candy,” Charlie said seriously. “That’s right,” Casandra, agreed, “We’re not quite out of the woods yet.” So, Willy made another piece and gave it to an Oompa Loompa. He disappeared too. “But did they get to the same place?” Casandra wondered. “How can we know for sure if the candy did what it was supposed to do?”, Casandra asked Willy. “I’ll just take the candy that allowed me to see you in the real world. Then, I’ll be able to see them. Maybe,” said Willy. So, he ate a piece of flat, yellow, ‘spying candy’ and his eyes turned dark as he looked into the real world. He didn’t say a word; he just looked like he was in some kind of dark daydream. After a while though, he finally came back to being himself and his eyes became shiny and purple again. “What did you see, darling?” Casandra asked. “The two of them where together safely, in your room. Now to bring them back before your mother sees them.” Willy said hurriedly as he grabbed the candy which he used to bring Casandra to him. That particular candy was called, ‘get in here’ candy (ironically). It was bright pink with purple stripes on it. Willy popped the candy into his mouth and the two Oompa Loompa’s appeared before them, smiling. “No one in the house saw you, right?” Willy questioned. The two Oompa Loompa’s nodded ‘no’. “Oh, good.” Willy said, relieved. “Won’t mom come in to wake me up before we can get married and everything? I mean, I’ve been here for more than a day now. She has gotta see that something’s wrong when I don’t get out of my bed for two days,” Casandra said. “Oh, no need to worry about that, my dear Casandra. A year here is only an hour in your world,” Willy said with a wide smile. “Man, am I glad to hear that!” Casandra said as she thanked Charlie for his help. “Anytime at all, Casandra,” Charlie said politely, walking towards the door. “Are you going to take the boat, Willy?” Charlie asked, as he reached for the door handle. “No, thank you. I think we’ll take the elevator. I have a surprise for Casandra,” Willy replied. “Another surprise? You never run out of ideas do you, Willy?” Casandra said as she smiled, taking Willy’s hand as they left the room. “But anyway, I’m so glad we made that candy. Now, I can rest assured knowing that I can have the best of both worlds!” Casandra said.
Once in the elevator,Willy took Casandra to a new room he had been working on for some time called, ‘The happily ever after room’. “Since we don’t have to worry about the ‘get outta here’ candy anymore, I think we should start planning our wedding,” Willy said as he hugged Casandra. “Sounds good to me!” said Casandra with excitement. When the elevator door opened, Casandra’s eyes lit up brighter then ever before. The room was decorated with the most beautiful colors Casandra had ever seen. Colors that had not yet been invented in the real world, colors that shined and sparkled with radiant light that was unexplainable. There were chandeliers of crystal hanging above, and soft, marshmallow flooring below. The whole room had the sweetest aroma ever. Willy literally had to grab Casandra by her wrist and lead her out of the elevator. Casandra was afraid she might pass out again. “Baby, you’re going to have to stop making everything so beautiful! I can’t take it all in at once!” Casandra said as she walked beside Willy, looking around at the room he had prepared just for the two of them. “But, you like it don’t you?” Willy said, suddenly sounding worried. “Oh, you know I do!” Casandra replied as she let go of Willy’s hand and sat down on a large, silky pillow. “Good,” Willy sighed with relief as he sat down beside her. “So, where do we start? I’ve never planned a wedding before,” Casandra said. “Hmm, I dunno. I’ve never planned a wedding before either. You’re going to be the first wife I’ve ever had,” Willy said, lovingly. Casandra just had to laugh at what he said. “I hope I’m the only one too!” she said as she gave him a kiss.
Finally, time to plan the wedding! No more tears (of sadness, at least) for a while. It’s all going good. Let’s just hope those two ‘kids-in-love’ know what to do, as far as getting prepared for the big day goes.
By the way,that Ciera song, “Promise” would fit into this moment good wouldn’t it? LOL! If you have sound on your computer, listen to it and you’ll see what I mean. But, if you don’t have sound, look up the lyrics.
