Chocolate-Covered Boy?
AN: Before I start this chapter I just wanted to give you a fun fact about this scene. Did you know that Phillip Wiegratz, who played Augustus in the movie, did all his OWN STUNTS! So when he fell into the chocolate river, he actually did that himself! Now let's continue!
🍬Wendy's P.O.V🍬
We walked into the chocolate room and everyone looked around in wonder. No matter how many times I'm in this room I feel amazed by it too.
"Now, do be careful my dear children don't lose your heads" Daddy warned "Don't get over excited, just stay very calm."
"It's beautiful" said Charlie.
"Yes, very beautiful" I said.
Daddy lead us down the green grass hill. "Every drop of the river is hot melted chocolate of the finest quality" he said as we passed the chocolate river.
We walked up the archway across the river. "The waterfall is very important it mixes and churns the chocolate" I said "and no other factory in the world mixes it's chocolate by waterfall, everyone, and you can take that to the bank."
Daddy nodded proudly and ushered them to the other side of the archway.
"People!" He said "those pipes suck up the chocolate and carry it away all over the factory, yeah."
"Do you want some grass?" I asked them "try some! It tastes like peppermint!"
"You can eat the grass?" Asked Charlie.
"Well of course you can!" I replied.
"Everything in this room is eatable even we are eatable" Daddy said "but that is called cannibalism, my dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies."
"Enjoy everybody!" I said.
They all ran off in different directions to explore, I grabbed a small marshmallow mushroom out of the ground and took a bite. Then I heard a cracking sound and looked to where Mike was smashing jelly pumpkins. His father was trying to get him to cut it out. I stormed over to them.
"Son, please!" Pleaded Mr. Teavee.
"Dad, he said enjoy" Mike said continuing to smash the poor pumpkins.
"Yeah, my Daddy said to enjoy not destroy!" I told him.
"Whatever" Mike sneered.
I was about to give him a piece of my mind when Veruca yelled "Daddy! Look over there! What is it? It's a little person! Over there by the water fall!"
Looks like our guests are about to meet the oompa loompas. We all gathered around the river bank and watched them work.
"There's two of them" said Violet' s mother.
"There's more then two" observed Mr. Teavee.
"Where do they come from?" Asked Mrs. Gloop.
"Who are they?" Asked Charlie.
"Are they real people?" Mike asked rudely.
"No, their trees" I said sarcastically.
"Of course their real people" Daddy said "their oompa loompas!"
"Oompa loompas?" Mr. Salt asked confused.
Imported, diretc from Loompaland" I explained.
"There's no such place" stated Mr. Teavee.
"What?" Daddy asked him. He knew I hated to be corrected, when I was clearly right.
"Mr. Wonka, I teach high school geography and I'm here to tell you-"
"Well then you'll know all about it and what a terrible country it is" Daddy said strictly.
As Daddy started to tell the story of how he discovered the oompa loompas, I noticed Augustus was missing. I saw him still munching at the grass.
When I felt I wouldn't be missed, I snuck over to Augustus.
"It's good, huh?" I asked him.
He stared up at me and nodded, continuing to stuff his face.
"You know the chocolate river really is real" I said "I wish I could just drink it all but Daddy says that might get germs in the chocolate."
I sighed longingly. "oh well..." I said sadly, walking back over to the group.
"They are such wonderful workers" said Daddy "I feel I must warn you they are rather mischievous, always making jokes."
"Augustus, my child, that is not a good thing you do!" Yelled Mrs. Gloop.
I watched with a slight smirk as Augustus was drinking straight from the chocolate river.
"Hey little boy!" Called Daddy "our chocolate must not be touched by human hands!"
That's when he put too much of his weight forward and splashed into the chocolate river.
Everyone gasped. Daddy rolled his eyes and my smirk grew.
"He'll drown!" Shrieked Mrs. Gloop "He can't swim! Save him!"
I looked up at the pipe that was coming near Augustus and gave a small smile.
We watched as Augustus got sucked up the pipe.
"There he goes!" Said Violet.
Mrs. Gloop watched in horror "call the fire brigade!"
"It's a wonder how the pipe is big enough" said Ms. Beauregarde.
"It isn't big enough" said Charlie "he's slowing down."
"He's gonna stick" said Mike.
"I think he has" said Mr. Teavee.
We stared up at Augustus struggling in the pipe, then the oompa loompas started to hum.
"Look, the oompa loompas" said Charlie.
"Back off, you little freaks!" Said Mike.
I scowled at him.
"What are they doing?" Asked Veruca.
"Why I believe they're going to treat us to a little song" said Daddy "It is quite a special occasion they haven't had a fresh audience in many moons."
As the oompa loompas did their song, Augustus went all the way up the pipe and was taken to another room in the factory.
Daddy and I clapped for the oompa loompas.
"Bravo! Well done! Aren't they delightful? Aren't they charming?" Daddy said clapping.
"I do say they all seem rather rehearsed" Mr. Salt said, somewhat snooty-like.
"Like they know it was gonna happen" said Mike.
"Oh poppycock!" Said Daddy.
I giggled at his funny choice of words.
"Where is my son? Where does that pipe go to?" Asked Mrs. Gloop.
"That pipe just so happens to go to the room where I make the most delicious type of strawberry-flavored chocolate-coated fudge."
"Then he will be made into strawberry-flavored chocolate-covered fudge they'll be selling him by the pound all over the world!" Mrs. Gloop panicked.
"No Daddy! We can't! It would taste disgusting!" I said, tugging on his coat.
"She's right" said Daddy "the taste would be terrible, can you imagine Augustus-flavored chocolate-coated Gloop?"
"Yuck!" I said "who would buy that?"
Daddy did one of his oompa loompa calls and one came in front of us.
"We want you to take Mrs.Gloop up to the fudge room, Kay?" Said Daddy "help her find her son."
"And take a long stick and start poking around in the big chocolate mixing barrel" I said.
He put his arms across his chest and we did the same. He bowed and took Mrs. Gloop with him.
"Mr. Wonka?" Said Charlie.
"Yeah?" Said Daddy.
"Why would Augustus's name already be in the oompa loompas song?"
"Improvisation is a parlor trick" said Daddy "anyone can do it."
"Violet, say something, anything!" I told her.
"Chewing gum" she said shrugging.
"Chewing gum is really gross" said Daddy.
"Chewing gum we hate the most!" I said with a smile "see exactly the same!"
"No it isn't" Mike told me.
Daddy looked at him "uh, you really shouldn't mumble, because we can't understand a word your saying."
I nodded. "Now on with the tour!" I said walking down the hill.
