1Chapter 1: Billie and chocolate factory
Charlie knew he had to be very careful, one wrong move and he and the assisting Oompa-Loompa's
Would all turn into Blueberries.
He carefully squeezed the last drop of Blueberry extract into the beaker and as soon as the drop hit the chemicals inside it began to turn a bluish-green.
"Success!" One oompa-Loompa said while the others clapped.
"Well glad that's done," Charlie said to himself while he took off his lab coat and goggles. He was truly proud of himself, as soon as the chemicals solidified, he would have the perfect mixed flavor gum and it is right on time for release in the summer.
While Charlie looked away, a young girl with light brown hair in a ponytail snuck up behind the lab table. She grabbed the beaker and was about to drink the new chemical flavor when charlie grabbed her by the back of her blue sweater and took the beaker out of The girl's hands.
"And just what do you think your doing, Billie?"
"Ah c'mon papa, I just wanted to try the new gum flavor."
"You can try in Jun like everyone else young lady besides we still have to run a few more tests before we know it's safe for consumption."
"So let me try it, I'll be your guinea pig."
"Absolutely not, I don't even let the Oompa-Loompa's taste test new products so I sure as heck won't let my own Daughter try it."
"Papa, don't you think you're being a little too overprotective? Besides worst case scenario I'll just turn into a Blueberry girl like mom did."
"No, you will not." Charlie and Billie were joined by Charlie's wife and Billie's mother, Violet Beauregarde.
"Trust me Billie, you don't want to go through that, it took years for my skin to turn back to normal."
"So? I think it would be cool to have blue skin."
Both parents sighed to themselves.
"I hope you don't act like this when the other children get here," Violet said.
Billie's smile immediately turned into a frown.
"Ugh, I forgot those jerks are coming here. Remind me why."
"Because I thought it would be nice to invite the other kids that came along with your mother and me all those years ago, I thought it would be good to invite them back after all these years."
"Oh, I see what ya mean papa. You wanna show off all the great stuff we have to those spoiled brats, I'm impressed Dad."
"No it's not that, I want this to happen so it can heal some old wounds between myself and the others."
Now it was Billie's turn to sigh.
"Isn't it enough that you made up with mom all those years ago, I mean you married and had a kid with her Isn't that enough?"
"No it's not and I expect you to be on your best behavior when they arrive next week."
"Fine but if one of these kids starts bullying the Oompa-Loompa's or trying to copy candy Recipes, I'm not gonna hold back. I'll meet um with old righty and lefty!"
"I'm sure you will but if they don't do either of those things you'll be nice and leave them alone." Charlie then kissed his daughter on the forehead.
"Now go to bed, it's past 8:30."
Billie rolled her eyes and walked out of the laboratory.
Charlie then kissed violet on the cheek.
"What was that for?" Violet asked.
"Just because," Charlie replied
"Charlie, I know you have high hopes for the others but do you really think that they will want to make up after all these years?"
"I hope so violet, I really do but if they don't, I know for a fact Billie will keep our factory safe."
To be continued.
