Today, Wonka's Chocolate Factory (trademark) was going to be open to the public. And by the public, that means 10 people more than who is normally allowed inside, and those 10 were selected by 5 golden tickets hidden inside random chocolate bars. Sadly, this wasn't the most foolproof fairest way to select a child since that rich little snob got on the news.

And if the rich little snob got on the news, then there was no doubt there would be lots of news stations lining up at the gates just to see more of the rich little snob (news stations were there to see the grand opening of the factory, actually). So much for just walking out. That's why he spent last night putting together a throne of puppets, and it was so magnificent (for a non-chocolate work) that he just had to see it in action, but the throne didn't give a good perspective.

"Wow, that is amazing, truly." Wonka commented. "I guess the lines were pretty corny, but the latter parts certainly give off a certain flare."

The five kids turned from the burning throne and to the gaudy man next to them, who certainly hadn't been there before. It was the rich little snob (who her dad calls Veruca) who opened her big mouth first. "Who are you?"

He smiled. Such was the sheltered life of children. "Why, I'm Willy Wonka!"

Wonka shook his head. That little Mike kid was only interested in the TV and now he was a little...littler. "Well, children, let's continue on with the tour, shall we?"

"Mr. Wonka, I'm the only kid left." Ryuko Matoi pointed out. Wonka quickly turned around, staring at Ryuko and Matoi, then trying to look behind them.

"Huh, I thought there would be a grandpa and a kid with a crowded family. One two three four...Oh, in that case, you won!"

Ryuko blinked. "Wait, what."

"The Golden Tickets were for those who buy my chocolate bars. I'm not certain if it worked out like a random lottery or a test of dedication, but that part worked out in the end." Willy explained. "From those five kids, not the ten kids and adult so that we're clear, I simply just give them a tour of my factory while seeing just how much they love candy. Granted, I didn't expect them to get sucked up in a pipe, bloat up, fall into a garbage chute, or get zapped into the TV, but at least I don't have to explain why they lost. But I'm rambling. You have won the position as my heir."

Ryuko blinked again. "Wait, you want to make me your heir?"

Wonka smiled. "That's right, you get to live in the factory with me, learn everything there is about chocolate, and when I go away, the factory is all yours. Though since you are my heir, I'm gonna ask you to give up your old dad. This is good for you, yes?"

He didn't expect Ryuko to explode on him. "Who the hell do you think I am! I'm not just going to give up my dad even if he's too busy to-"

"Ryuko Wonka! That is enough!" Ryuko paused, but hearing her dad- Mr. Matoi say her name left her shaking. "You're right, I have been too busy. Mr. Wonka will probably be a better father than I could ever be. You're living with him now, and that's final."

Ryuko didn't know what to do. Her father was just dumping her just like that? Was she truly an abandoned child?

"Um, Oompa Loompas, can you escort Ryuko to her room. Don't worry, it's not made out of sweets. Trust me, that wouldn't work. I'll be with you in a bit." The short workers guided Ryuko back to the Glass Elevator as it zoomed away to parts only Wonka knows. He then turned to Mr. Matoi. "Wow, that was pretty harsh, Soichiro. You sure you couldn't at least fought for her?"

Soichiro Matoi-Kiryuin shook his head. "Every day I work on fighting the Life Fibers, Ragyo is closer to killing me or completing her goals. I want to keep Ryuko safe from her, but in order to complete my goals, I've hurt her happiness. Perhaps with you, inside a chocolate factory, she could hold onto her innocent childhood a bit longer."

Wonka frowned. "I told you not to marry her. Ragyo's the reason why I don't try to find a wife...I mean, I am still interested in relations with women, but they're more concerned with this thing called weight rather than sweets. So yeah, Ragyo and weight are the reason I don't try to find a wife."

Ryuko headed back to the factory. After hearing about her dad- Mr. Matoi's death, she had wandered the roads of Japan until she stumbled upon Honnouji Academy. Granted, she got beat up pretty badly by a club captain, but in her dad's old ruins of a house, she found the all-powerful Senketsu and beat up the club captain with unnatural ease. Anyway, with the identity of her father's murderer in Satsuki Kiryuin's hands, she had not been interested in heading back to the factory.

"Right, right. Let me know if you start fighting evil clothes."

And then she found herself flying back to the Chocolate Factory. "Alright...Dad, what do you mean about 'evil clothes'?"

"Oh, welcome back, Ryuko. I see you brought a friend with you!"

"Don't change the...wait, what?" Ryuko turned around to see Mako Mankanshoku rolling around in the candyland grass. "Mako? Nevermind. Evil clothes."

"Well, Mr. Matoi and I went to school together. The kind with the sciency stuff. One day, he got an offer to marry a rich woman, and he became a changed man." Wonka looked behind the duo, where the Oompa Loompas provided cue cards. "Long story short, Mr. Matoi found out about these little aliens that become clothing and want to eat and destroy the world, so he created the guy on you and your red scissors to fight them."

Ryuko blinked. "...Are you serious."

"Well, I was serious when we went to space."

"...Fair point." Ryuko relented. "So that means Satsuki plans to destroy the world, or at least take it over. What kind of messed up plot did I walk into?"

"Actually, Satsuki..." Wonka read the cue cards. "That's probably not her goal, but the clothes are bad news. Fortunately, Matoi isn't the only one fighting the clothes."

Wonka led Ryuko and a slim yet stuffed Mako into the elevator. "Well, we're going to the War Room. I really hate war. They take a lot of sugar, and that just throws off the factory schedule."

Mako's eyes lit up. "Oooh, what are we going to fight the evil clothes with, Mr. Omigosh You Are Ryuko's Dad and Ryuko's Dad Is a Chocolate Man?

Wonak chuckled. "With chocolate, of course. Chocolate stains are pretty hard to get out of any kind of clothes, so I reckon they're very effective..."

Ryuko didn't think so, but Senketsu started to shiver.
