The remaining people walked down another hallway with a red carpet going down it and Charlie decided to ask a question.

"Mr Wonka why did you decide to let people in?"

"Why so they could see the factory of course"

"But why now and why only five?"

He was about to answer but Mike Rudley interrupted by asking his own question.

"What's the special prize at the end and who gets it?"

"The bust kind of prize is a SURprise haha"

"Will violet always be a blueberry?"

"No. Maybe. I don't know but that's what you get for chewing gum all day long it's just disgusting"

"If you hate him so much then why do you make it?"

"Because other people like it and that's how you sell things, by making things they will want to by" lily chimed in softly after being quiet for a while. She was still upset over her dress.

Mike glared at her and Charlie decided to change the subject.

"Do you remember the first piece of candy you ever ate?"

Will suddenly stopped walking and got that distant look on his face again as everyone stared at him a little freaked out. Lily Stepped forward and tugged on his sleeve again.

"Will?"

He looked down at her then back at the group.

"I'm sorry I was having a flashback"

"I see" Mr Salt said while pulling Veruca colder to him.

"Do these flash backs happen often?"

"Increasingly. Today"

They started to walk forward again and approached a room labelled the nut sorting room.

"Ah this is a room I'll know all about" Mr Salt said happily "you see Mr Wonka I myself am in the nut business"

He handed Wonka a business card which he threw over his shoulder without even looking making lily giggle. He put his purple gloved hand over her mouth so no one would hear, he put a finger to his lips silently telling her to be quiet to which she nodded and he out his hand down.

"Are you using the hammermax 4000 to do your sorting"

"No, hahahaha your really weird"

He opened the door into a large blue and white room that had huge hole in the middle. There were squrrirels lined around the whole throwing things into it. They approached a gate at the edge of a platform.

"Squirrels!"

"Yeah squirrels, these ones are especially trained to get the nuts out of the shells"

"Why use squirrels why not use oompa loompas?"

"Because only squirrels are able to get the while walnut out almost a hundred percent of the time"

"Oh look look" he pointed the squirrel nearest to the balcony on the right "I think that one's got a bad but"

"Daddy I want one of those squirrels, get me one of those squirrels, I want one"

"Veruca dear you've got many marvoulus pets"

"All of got at home is 1 pont and 2 dogs and 4 Cats and 6 bunny rabbits and 2 paraketes and 3 canaries and a green parrot and a turtle and a silly old hamster. I want a squirrel"

Lily turned and whispered to Charlie

"I've never even heard of half of those"

"Alright pet Daddy will get you a squirrel as soon as we get home"

"But I don't want any old squirrel I want a trained squirrel"

"Alright, Mr Wonka! How much do you wan for one of those things, name you price"

Veruca turned to Mr Wonka with the biggest fake smile she could make.

"Oh there not for sale, she can't have one"

Her smile sooner faded into a scowl.

"Daddy"

"I'm sorry darling Mr Wonka is being unreasonable" Will said in a perfect impression of Mr Salt.

"If you won't get me a squirrel I'll get one myself" she went to crawl through the gate but passed and stood back up.

"Actually you can get me one, you look enough like a servent" she took a tight hold of Lily's wrist and dragged her thought the gate with her.

"Hey leave her alone!" Charlie shouted, he reached for his sister but Veruca pulled her away. The spoilt girl acted as if she heard nothing. She dragged her down the stairs as her father called after her.

"Veruca"

She didn't listen.

"Veruca you leave that little girl alone and come back here at once!"

Lily was getting scared, she knew that this wasn't going to end well at all and she wanted to go back to Charlie.

"Charlie!"

"It's alright Lils just stay calm" He tried to convince her but he was terrified for his sister.

Veruca ignored everything going on around her and carried on walking looking around at all the squrrirels who stopped and turned to face the two girls. Veruca set her eyes on one of the squirrels and made her way over to it.

"Get off me you little brat!"

"Little girls, don't touch that squirrels nuts, it'll make him crazy"

She dragged lily over to the squirrel at the end of one of the rows and shoved her towards it.

"Get it for me. Now."

"Don't touch it lily!" Charlie warned his little sister.

"I said get it" Veruca kicked Lilith in the back to make her go further forward.

Lily turned around and shoved Veruca making her fall backwards.

"Veruca!"

"I'm about to do it so if you would just shut up and give a minute that would be nice" Veruca glared at the smaller girl as she got back up and brushed down her dress.

Hesitantly Lilith turned back around to face the animal.

"I'm sorry about this" She slowly reached her arms out towards the poor animal.

The squirrel the jumped if it's still and all the squirrels followed surrounding the two girls.

"Veruca!"

"Lily!"

Mr Salt gave Wonka a look who took out a big ring with many keys attached to it and stared trying them in the lock.

The squirrels began jumping on the two girls clawing at their faces while their backed away and tried to get them off. Lilith was first to get knocked on to the floor since she was smaller and lighter.

"Lilith! Me Wonka please do something!" Charlie shouted frantically.

Will kept checking through his keys, he knew what was about to happen so he pretended not to know which one was the right one. Soon Veruca was on the floor two being pinned down by the squirrels limb by limb.

"Veruca!"

Will kept trying different keys in the lock but just couldn't find the right one.

"Daddy!"

"Charlie!"

"Daddy I want them to stop!"

One of the squirrels jumped onto Veruca's chest and crawled up to her head knocking on it with its little fist.

"What is it doing?"

"It's checking to see if she is a bad nut"

The squirrel made a sound.

"Oh my goodness she is a bad nut after all"

The squirrels then surrounding Veruca crawled underneath her and began moving her closer and closer to the large hole in the middle of the from as she flailed her legs.

"Daddy!"

"Where are they taking her?"

"Where all the bad nuts go, down the garbage chute"

"And where does that to to?"

"The incinerator"

"Don't worry they only light it on Tuesdays"

"Today is Tuesday"

"Well there's always the chance they decided not to light it today"

Lily could hear the sound of Veruca's nails scratching against the floor as they dragged her away.

"Charlie help me please!" Lily shouted, terrified

"It's alright Lils everything will be ok trust me"

"Okay!"

Eventually the Squirrels pushed Veruca into the hole and down the chute screaming the whole way.

As soon as they couldn't hear her screams anymore everyone's attention, including the squirrels was on lily, a squirrel jumped onto Lilith's chest and knocked on her head as the ones who had been of Veruca made their way over to the others and helped hold lily down.

Everyone was silent waiting to see if she was a bad nut or not. Lily was still because if the animals grips but on the inside she was freaking out, everything around her was fading and her breathing had increased greatly.

it took a little longer this time but eventually the little animal made a sound and all the squirrels got of Lily and scrambled away back to their stools except for one who started at her a little before picking the gum off her dress and throwing it down the chute.

Lily was to shocked at what just happened to her, she couldn't move at all and was begging to feel dizzy, she couldn't focus on conversation going on above her head. She was silently crying from fright.

"She will just be stuck in the chute so all you will have to do it just reach on and pull her out" Will was telling Mr Salt.

Wonka finally found the right key and slowly opened the little blue gate letting Me Salt go through the gate and down the stairs. He stopped halfway through as the oompa loompas came out in yellow uniforms.

When the song ended Mr Salt walked down and was pushed into the chute after his daughter by a squirrel. Then the the oompa loompas left through the doors that they came through and the music fades away.

Wonka waited for a moment before he opens the gate again and walks down the floor himself. He approached the place Where Lilith was sat just staring at the hole and breathing very fast.

He bent down and looked into her eyes.

"Lily?"

She didn't move.

"He put a gloved hand on her arm and spoke louder.

"Lilith!"

She turned to him.

"It's over now, nothing it going to hurt you, take deep breaths"

Slowly, she managed to slow her breathing.

Wonka smiled and picked her up putting her on his hip. She immediately wrapped her arms around him and burried her head in his neck. That was one of the scariest things that had ever happened to her.

"Hey it's alright no need to cry. Everything's fine now there's just a few scratches"

He took her back up to where everyone else was stood waiting.

"Lilith are you alright" Charlie asked to which she shook her head still not looking up.

"Just a little shaken up I think" Wonka responded for her. An oompa came over to him and pulled on his trouser leg, he bent down to listen to him and came back up with a smile on his face.

"Oh that's great I have just heard that the incinerator I'd broken so there should be about three weeks worth of garbage to break their fall"

"I guess thats good" Mr Teevee said

"Yeah, well on with the tour" they left the nut room and Wonka took them to an elevator and pressed the button.

"I don't know why I didn't think I'd this earlier, elevator is by far the most efficient way to travel around the factory"

"There can't be this many floors"

"How do you know Mr smarty pants this isn't just and ordinary up and down elevator by the way this elevator can go sideways, longways, slantways and any other ways you can think of. You just press any button and woosh your off haha, Woah"

They all stumbled as the elevator went zooming off.

"Oh look look, ladies and gentlemen welcome to fudge mountain"

The oompa loompas in the mountain looked up and waved as they passed and Will waved back to them. They went through a tunnel where they say a room with pink sheep being shaved.

"Oh i'd rather not talk about this one...."

Lilith shifted her head so it was sideways in will's shoulder and she could see the room.

"Candy floss" she muttered to herself and will nodded. They passed through another room where figures lay in hospital beds.

"Awww those poor people are the ok?" Lily asked.

"Oh there not people this is the puppet hospital and burns center, it's reletivley new"

They suddenly got jercked backwards into a room filled with exploding fireworks. Lily and Charlie covered their ears at the loud sounds but still watched the fireworks in awe.

"Mr Wonka what are those bright exploding lights?" lily asked lift her head up and looking at Willy Wonka, she had never seen anything like them before and thought they were beautiful. He was about to answer her but Mike spoke before he could.

"There fireworks idiot, what you never seen them before?" Mike grumbled at her.

"No.... I haven't" she said quietly. Lowering her head back down on will's shoulder sadly causing him to frown at the little boy.

"Leave her alone, we don't have enough money for things life fireworks and she barley ever leaves the house. She not stupid she's just not as experienced at others" Charlie told him and a calm voice. Lily smiled at Charlie fretfully and he smiled back.

"Why is everything here so pointless?"

"Candy doesn't have to have a point that's why it's candy" Will smiled down at the boy.

"Candy is a waste of time"

Those words stemmed to set Will off again and send him into another flashback but this one didn't last as long as he quickly snapped out of it when mike said.

"I wanna pick a room!"

A sickly sweet smile made its way onto Will's face as he replied with.

"Go ahead"

"Are you alright?" Lilith quietly asked Will.

"I'm perfectly fine lily, nothing to worry about"

After looking at all the buttons Mike finally decided to choose a room.

The TV room.
