Chapter One: We All Meet Her

"Well, this is the place soooo…what! Wh-where did it go?" Melissa looked around at the spot where her aunt and uncle's house used to be. Presently, there remained nothing but a snowy white patch with some old, rotten timber lying upon it.

She dropped her bag surreptitiously upon the snow trodden ground. What was she to do now? Every single year during her school holidays she came to her aunt and uncle's house to see them and her grandparents and her sweet little cousin Charlie. Of course she got a casual job while she was there so their cabbage soup was little denser than normal but this year… it was like the house had clean vanished into thin air!

While she stood standing there with one hand on her hip and the other on her chin and she contemplated whether or not she should go back home or attempt to track down where they had gone she felt a little hand tap her on her back.

She assumed it was a small child and turned around with a smile to see what they wanted when she saw that it was a little man, or at least, she thought it was little man (she couldn't tell through the several layers of thick clothing and the goggles) who sat upon a shiny red vesper and who had a letter held out to her with Melissa written upon it in Charlie's recognizably messy scrawl.

Gingerly, she reached out and took the letter from the little man. "Thankyou" she said, still a little shocked. The man bobbed his head once quickly before turning and speeding off up the road.

Melissa looked to see if anyone had noticed him but there was no one else around so she simply shrugged her shoulders, accepted that this was just an odd day and began to open the envelope.

The letter appeared to be upon a piece of personalized letter paper with the initials W.W in bold purple font up in the top right hand corner. The letter itself read:

Dear Melissa,

You are probably wondering where we are right now, well, something most amazing has happened but I want to tell you in person.

Go to the Chocolate Factory and ask for me at the door.

Till then, much love

Charlie

Go to the chocolate factory? She was still in a bit of a daze but picked up her bag and began trekking up the road towards the chocolate factory, in the direction that the little man on the red vesper had gone in.

"Excellent Charlie, so the lickable nailpolish is a success?"

"I think so Willy, and I've managed to create three flavours so that all girls can enjoy candy when they're waiting for something and get bored. Of course, I'll need to create an alternative for boys, we get bored too you know but I think this is a good achievement in itself for now. Hey! We can test it on Melissa when she comes can't we."

"Yeah, sure…" Willy trailed off disgustedly. From what he could remember of girls from when he was a boy, they were not worth the bother, chewing disgusting gum and flapping their eyelashes at you and expecting you to give them some of your sweets. Yuck! Of course, he hadn't seen a girl since he was about 10, apart from those two vile ones with the golden tickets.

An oompa-loompa marched into the room then, folded his arms across his chest and bowed low to them.

"She's here?" Charlie asked excitedly, before racing out of the room and down ten different corridors to the front door, not waiting for an affirmative nod from the oompa-loompa.

Charlie hurriedly pulled the gigantic bolt loose that held the door shut and swung it open.

Melissa was shocked when the enormous steel door finally swung open to reveal her enthusiastic cousin who immediately leapt at her, almost knocking her down the stairs with the force.

She was a good foot taller than him (being nearly 8 years older) and so she simply laid her hands across his back as he had his wrapped firmly around her waist with his face buried in her stomach.

She laughed softly. After a minute she said "Hello Charlie"

"Hello Melissa" he pulled back to grin up at her. "Come inside" He pulled her hurriedly by one hand while she made a quick grab for her bag on the way in and he released her for a moment to bolt the door behind them once more.

"So Charlie, what happened? What are you doing here?.." Melissa inquired as she stared around the front room of the factory in awe. Everything was red plush and regal looking yet with a quirky twist.

"()'realllivinghere,isn'tthatwonderful?"

"Huh!" Melissa said (Charlie had a habit of talking really fast when he was excited), "So this factory is yours now and your living here with…"

"Everyone, Mum and Dad and Grandpa Joe and Grandma Josephine and Grandpa George and Grandma Georgina and Willy Wonka! (Oh, and some Oompa-Loompas).

"Willy Wonka?"

Just then they heard a puffed voice and a flurry of coats "Charlie where?..."

Melissa heard the man's voice catch and she turned her head to the right and almost fell over. A guy stood before her, tall, well dressed though a little eccentric (she liked them that way anyway) and with a wide-eyed expression that she didn't realize mirrored her own at that point.

Charlie stood in between them and looked from side to side. He was the only one at present who was aware of the fact that they were standing in stunned silence staring at each other, quite comically.

"Um…" he said to break the silence, "So Melissa, this is Willy Wonka, Willy, this is my cousin Melissa."

"Hi…"

"Hello!"

"Ok then", Charlie continued after the conversation progressed no further, lets go see everyone Melissa, I'm sure they're as anxious to see you again as I am."

With that Willy turned on his heel and marched off in the direction that he had come, Charlie and Melissa in tow. Two Oompa-Loompas appeared to carry Melissa's bag for her.

"That's Willy Wonka." Melissa whispered incredulously into Charlie's ear.

"Yes, what did you expect?" Charlie asked, he was a little irritated that she seemed more interested in Willy than she did in him but then he never had understood girls.

As Willy walked, he could feel a cold shiver going up his spine knowing that they were both behind him. He didn't remember girls looking like that! They were smaller and more slimy and disgusting. This one was odd, it was like she was half a girl and half an adult. He just didn't understand what he was feeling or what was happening, you see, he'd spent his teens surrounded by candy and now all of his perceptions were being forced to change. :)
