Wolf drag the cart away from the Wash House as Willy told him and the other workers about the little orange man visiting him last night while they all hid in the cart.

"He came back?!" Wolf asked.

"Yes." Willy replied.

"A little green man?" Snake asked annoyed.

"Orange man, green hair." Shark corrected him.

"Yes! I set a trap and he walked right into it!" Willy said, excitedly.

"So where is he?" Webs asked.

"We had a fight, you see. He won. Hit me on the head with a frying pan and jumped out the window." Willy replied.

"Of course he did." Snake said and they stop the cart in a quiet alley just out of sight of the Wash House.

"You don't believe me, do you?" Willy asked, emerging from his laundry bag.

"Honestly? No." Snake replied.

"Sorry Willy, I'm with snake on this. It seems a little too far fetched." Wolf said.

"Do any of you believe me?" Willy asked and the workers, one by one emerge from their bags.

"No." Shark said.

"No." Webs said.

"Definitely not." Piranha said.

Then they went to the shop and Willy opens the door, scarcely able to breathe.

The shop has seen better days, paint is peeling off the walls and the ceiling has fallen in, sending an old chandelier crashing to the floor... but it's still somehow magical.

Willy looks around, speechless as we follow him in.

"Now I know what you're thinking. It may need a little work...." snake said.

"If that's a joke, it's not funny. And I know not-funny." Piranha said.

Shark fits two ends of a cable together and the lights come on.

"Looks like someone left the water running and the ceiling fell through. And the ceiling above that. And the ceiling above that!" Webs said.

"But that means we can afford it... for a week, anyway." Wolf said.

"And we'd finally be legitimate. The police would have no excuse to keep bothering us." Webs said.

Wolf look anxiously at Willy, who still hasn't said a word.

"What do you think, Willy? Do you like it?" He asked.

"Do I like it?! Wolf, it's just how I always imagined. No. Scratch that. Better than I imagined. I mean sure, it's a wreck, but look at the potential, the bones! This is going to be the greatest chocolate shop the world has ever seen!" Willy said, becoming more and more excited then he turns to the kids.

"You're not going to be scrub scrubbing much longer, kids. We'll all be free! As free as flamingoes!" Willy proclaimed.

The kids shout in excitement, It's ten o'clock on opening day.

Willy stands inside his shop, his clothes cleaned and repaired.

He stands in front of the door, taking a moment to prepare himself.

"Here we go mama." He whisperers.

Willy then flung the doors open and addresses the passers-by.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, greetings to you all and welcome to Wonka's! Tremendous things are in store, both literally and metaphorically!"

An old man stops, confused. "What? In there?" He asked, pointing past him.

Willy's shop, looks just as derelict and disused as ever. But Willy has a familiar glint in his eye. "Humour me." He said.

"Close your eyes and count to ten! Make a wish! Now open them!" Willy begins singing. The Old Man reluctantly does so and the front of the store transforms in front of his eyes.

The newspaper blinds in the window rise to reveal jars upon jars of chocolate. A sign made of multiple bars of chocolate slides into position and braziers burst into flame.

"Here's a store that's like no other If it were I wouldn't bother!" Willy takes the old man's arm and leads him towards the darkened store then stops abruptly at the doorway.

"Chocolate bushes, chocolate trees, Chocolate flowers and chocolate bees..."

As Willy mentions each of these chocolate marvels in turn, one of the Wash House worker kids produces an example.

Willy takes the chocolate flower and hands it to the old man, who tastes it as Willy heads into the darkened shop. Willy lights a match and puts it to the chandelier.

Shark gives a signal and the other Workers pull on a rope which hoists it upwards, revealing an enchanted land made of chocolate and candy.

Willy: "Chocolate memories that a boy once saved Before they melted away..."

A lush green meadow of chocolate grass is studded with chocolate flowers and toadstools made of icing.

In the centre of the meadow is an enormous tree, its trunk carved from solid dark chocolate, its branches dipping into a chocolate river flowing through the store.

Now a chocolate barge appears sailing along the chocolate river.

Willy has recreated his childhood home in chocolate. He steps on board as he sings, losing himself in nostalgia.

Willy: "A world of your own
A place to escape to A world of your own
Where you can be free
Wherever you go
Wherever life takes you
This is your home
A world of your own"

Customers flood in as Willy leaps onto the chocolate barge.

Wolf hand out baskets while the other kids operate the machines that lend the shop its theatrical magic.

Willy: "Here is the child that you left behind
Here is the kid with the curious mind
Here is the wonder we used to feel Back when the magic was real"

Willy disappears from the barge in a puff of smoke, then appears climbing up the trunk of the tree.

Willy: "A world of your own A place to go when you're
Feeling alone
Feeling unsure
Embrace the unknown!
Enjoy the adventure!"

Willy climbs up through the branches to the tree's canopy. Snake operates a cotton candy machine producing clouds.

Willy: "Let's go strolling in the clouds Grab a handful, it's allowed!
Clouds are made of cotton candy Just keep your umbrella handy"

Willy leaps onto a cloud and throws candy to the people below, who have been given Wonka umbrellas to protect themselves.

"Cause there's a hard rain gonna fall! Humbugs, gumdrops, and aniseed balls!" Finally, indoor

fireworks blast across the sky, leaving edible string in their wake, which customers grab eagerly.

"Fireworks bring sugar string to chew! All the colour of the rainbow.. And some others too!"

Willy grabs hold of a bubblegum balloon, leaps from the cloud and sinks slowly back to the ground floor.

Willy & customers: "A world of our own.
A place to escape to A world of our own
Where we can be free
Wherever you go
Wherever life takes you
This is our home!
A world of our own!"

The old man stands at the till with armfuls of chocolates. Wolf is packing his bags while shark tots up his bill.

"So that's four dozen roses, and a bag of pears and one giant pretzel." Snake said.

"Giant?" The old man said, surprised. Snake takes the old man's regular sized pretzel, puts it in a pretzel enlarging machine and hands him a giant pretzel.

"That comes to er... nine hundred and eighty sovereigns."

"A bargain at half the price!" The old man exclaimed wolf stares as the old man hands over ten notes.

"Thank you, sir. How do you want your change? Spendable or edible?" Snake asked him.

"Ooh, edible please!" The old man replied and the back of the till dispenses twenty chocolate coins.

"Thank you! And don't forget to eat your basket!" Snake said.

As the old man walks away, he notices other customers are eating their shopping baskets. Wolf turns to snake, delighted.

"Snake, that man just gave us a thousand sovereigns!" He said, grinning.

"I know, man!" Snake replied. "Who's next?" He asked turning back to the dozens of customers waiting to pay.

The old man cheerfully tucks into a blue flower as he heads out... then stops the sight of his reflection in the door.

"Er... Mr. Wonka?" He said. Willy who was talking to wolf, turn at his name being called.

"Yes?" Willy the kids are horrified to see the old man sprouting blue hair.

"What's going on here?" The old man asked, nervously looking up at his rapidly growing blue hair.

"Oh my goodness." Webs whispered.

"Cool" piranha says.

"What is this?" The old man asked, his hair still growing.

"Wonka what's going on" wolf tugs on his coat who was worried.

"It's... it's impossible! Unless..." Willy said and takes a flower from the old man's basket and tastes it.

"Yeti sweat!"

"Yeti sweat?!" The old man asked, now looking like a blue hair and beard wizard.

"The most powerful hair potion in the world. But I didn't put it in there.." Willy said, confused on how this is happening.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, your attention please!" Willy exclaimed, running up the curve pathway hill to get everyone's eyes on him.

"There appears to be a manufacturing error. NOBODY EAT THE FLOWERS!"

Several customers look up from the flower beds... but it's too late. Wildly coloured hair is already sprouting from their heads.

"Uh... why not?" A woman growing green hair asked.

"What's wrong with them?" A man with orange hair asked, his mouth full of the candy flowers.

"What's the matter with these toadstools! My daughter had one bite and just look at her!" A duchess said, her hair turning red as her child grows a Zapata moustache already curling at the ends.

"I like it!" The daughter said, grinning ear to ear.

"Oh don't be ridiculous, Gertrude. Do you think Granny will kiss you with a face like that?" The duchess said.

"That's why I like it!" The daughter replied.

"There's nothing wrong with the chocolate milk's is there?" A man asked, his skin turning green.

"I'm terribly sorry, everyone. I don't know how to explain this but... the chocolates have been poisoned!" Willy announced.

"Poisoned?" The orange haired man repeated in shock.

"Poisoned?" The green man said, horrified.

"He poisoned my child!" The duchess accused.

"I-I didn't poison them." Willy stammered.

"I want my money back!" The old man demanded, completely covered in blue hair now and looking like relative of Cousin It.

"I want compensation!" The orange haired man demanded.

"I want revenge!" The green man roared and throws a chocolate pear.

Wolf makes Willy duck and the pear smashes into the wall behind them but the temperature has raised.

Now all the customers all start jeering and throwing pieces of chocolate at Willy, snake grabs the others and ducks hiding them.

The customers then turn their outrage to the shop, throwing chocolate at the tower jars and sending them crashing to the floor.

"No please!" Willy cried out, but it's hopeless.

The angry customers destroyed everything they can get their hands on.

In the melée, the duchess slips into the backstage area and cuts a rope and the old chandelier comes crashing down onto the floor where it explodes into flames.

The fire has been extinguished, but the shop has been utterly destroyed.

The great tree has melted into a strange, sinister twisted shape, and the barge is half-sunken in the river. Willy and the others stand, shell-shocked.

"I don't understand. What..? What..?" Webs said and lapses into silence, her hope extinguished.

"What happened?" Piranha asked.

"Isn't it obvious? The Chocolate Cartel." Snake said.

"It's okay, Willy. We can start again, we can rebuild." Wolf said, trying to keep the hope alive but even Willy was losing his optimism.

"There's no point, wolf. It didn't work." Willy muttered.

"What do you mean?" Wolf asked.

"She promised she would be here. She wasn't." Willy said, depressed.

"Wait, you didn't really think..." wolf said, gently.

"No, I did. Just a stupid dream." Willy said, looking away and wolf stares at him, tears quickly coming to his eyes at the sight of Willy losing hope.

"Don't say that. Don't you ever..." wolf said, walking over to him.

Snake then felt empathy for him and sat next to him, "that's what happens to real dreams and wishes in this world, they get crushed, destroyed, hurt before they even start and I should know, when I was 5 the only thing my dad ever wanted to be was a musician, when he had me he would go on the streets and play his music, he play his guitar sharing his music with the world but Mr Slugworth didn't like his music that thought my old man as a threat so he threatened my dad to leave or else, he wanted to meet ends meet so he saved what he had and left me at Mrs scrubbit gave her enough money to take care of me till he came back as a winner, it didn't matter to me if he was rich or not, he was a winner in my eyes, I always wished and dreamed that he would come back for me but...the older I got the more I started to lose that dream so I gave up, Come on, guys I think Mr Wonka needs to be alone" snake said, leading everyone away.

He watches them go then turns to Willy, who stares down at the floor.

"I still believe in you." Wolf whispered. Willy doesn't react to his comforting hug or words.

Willy sits alone, gazing at his mother's old chocolate bar.

"Every good thing in the world started with a dream. So you hold onto yours. And when you do share chocolate with the world, I'll be right there beside you." He hears his mother's echo in his head and a tear rolls down Willy's cheek.

"Terrible shame what happened here." A familiar voice said and Willy turns to see the Cartel coming into the shop.

"I take it you're responsible." Willy said.

"Us? No! Well, not personally. We may have encouraged Mrs. Scrubitt to enhance your creations." Slugworth said, smugly.

"We paid her to poison them." Prodnose boasted.

"Thank you, Gerald." Slugworth said, giving him an annoyed side glance.

"You're welcome." Prodnose said, smiling obliviously.

"So why have you come? To gloat?" Willy asked.

"Oh no, Mr. Wonka. I don't waste my time with that sort of thing. We've come to offer you a deal."

Slugworth said and Fickelgruber kneels down to open his suitcase. Inside are six bundles of bank notes.
Fickelgruber lifts one and shows it to Willy.

"This is the precise amount you owe Mrs. Scrubitt." He said and hands Slugworth several more bundles of notes.

"This is for the number-cruncher son, the plumber fish, the arachnid child, the so-called sperant son of a musician....."

"And this is for the wolf." Fickelgruber said, holding up two bundles that far bigger than the others.

"We've put in a bit extra for the wolf. So they can get a place to live. Clothes. Toys. Books. You could change their lives, Mr. Wonka, change all their lives. Slugworth said.

"What would I have to do?" Willy asked.

"Leave town. And never make chocolate again. There's a boat sailing at midnight. And for their sake, as much as your own, I hope you're on board." Slugworth said and Willy realises he doesn't have much of a choice.

Willy walks slowly back to the Wash House, singing a sad song to himself.

"Sorry, wolf I guess I got carried away Sorry I hope you'll forgive me one day." Mrs. Scrubitt is waiting for him in the doorway.

"Checking out, are we?" She asked and Willy nods, going inside.

Willy continues singing as he packs away his sample case.

"I just wanted it To feel the way that it did When I was a kid."

He looks sadly at the picture of his mother inside, then closes the case.

Bleacher stands guard while Willy walks towards the stairs. He pauses by the door to wolf's room.

"Sorry, buddy."

He desperately wants to knock, to talk to all of them, to explain, but Bleacher shakes his head... and Willy heads downstairs. As Willy leaves.

The kids runs to the window and looks down to see Willy handing the Cartel's money over to Mrs. Scrubitt.

"Willy!" Wolf called out. Willy glances up at wolf for a moment... then turns away.

"Forget it wolf, he's just like the others" snake said.

Wolf: "For a moment
Life didn't seem quite so bad
For a moment
I almost forgot to be sad I thought we were friends
Maybe even more
But see how it always ends"

Willy: "Sorry wolf
I guess it just wasn't to be
Very soon you'll
You'll forget about me
At least this will buy
You a better life"

"Goodbye, wolf" Willy said, disheartened and he disappears round the corner out of sight.

The kids watches him disappear from the view and begin to cry.

Wolf: "When will you ever learn
That you always get burned
If you drop your defense If you stop making sense
If you drop down your guard
Let them into your heart
For a moment For a moment"

Devastated, wolf sits on his bed and weeps.
