Ok soooo this is gonna be a weird update. I found out this morning that NecroFeline has left FA. Necro was one of the people (the other being Dudewazzup) who came up with the Celly Wonka universe. I got permission from both of them tow write my current project. Her leaving has put a bit of a damper on my mood.


BUT I don't want you guys and gals to panic. I'm not quitting or delaying. Quite the opposite. I've been thinking of doing this for a while and this morning was the straw that broke the camel's back. So I decided, as much as my OCD hates this, that I'm going to skip a bit to where the characters enter the factory.

I'll post the chapters in between 3 and the one where the tour begins at a later date. I just want to do this now because of this morning and, as I've said before, writing these opening chapters is sooo boring. I want to get to the good stuff and I know you all do too.

But I don't want y'all to be lost so here's an exposition dump:

In the next chapter we have a small montage of characters getting their tickets.

The winners here are:

Fluttershy
Rainbow Dash
Troubleshoes Clyde
Caramel
Starlight
Sunburst
Trixie
Chancellor Neighsay
Dean Cinch
Blueblood
Vinyl
Octavia
Double Diamond
Party Favor
Treehugger
Rarity
Timber Spruce and Gloriosa Daisey

We then cut back to Sunset at work, when a rather chubby Flash Sentry shows up, having just scored his ticket. After work she and him go to his place to play some games and eat some pizza. They talk for a bit about the contest and about relationships, when she lets it slip that she has feeling for Twilight. She also admits she still has feelings for him too, years after their breakup. Flash advises her to just be honest and tell Twilight. He doesn't like Timber or his butthole attitude either.

Meanwhile, Charlie and the gang are hanging out and talking when the discussion of the old folks is brought up. It's then revealed that Violet and their friends hired a private investigator to spy on their parents.

The next day. After exhausting her last candy bar from the box, Sunset goes to talk to Twilight who reveals that she got her gold ticket before being taken away by Timber. This leaves Sunset feeling down.

Not long after Charlie shows up at her store with a few quarters in his hand that he just found on the sidewalk. He hands them to Sunset who buys one last candy bar. The two head outside where she opens the wrapper and finds her golden ticket, much to Charlie's excitement. The two rush home happy as can be.

When they get home, however, they find Violet arguing with the old folks, having finally snapped over the years of verbal abuse. When one of them makes a backhanded comment to her Charlie steps in and stands up for his wife.

This causes his own dad to, literally, stand up and get out of bed, much to the shock of Charlie, Violet, Sunset, and the private investigator and insurance fraud investigator who had been watching this a few yards away over in the next building. This leads to a fight where the four old freeloaders shove the trio out of the apartment, taking Sunset's ticket in the process.

Now in a near homicidal rage Charlie and Violet go to get backup while Sunset tries to figure out a way to open the door. Soon she notices a dark dressed figure approach her. He introduces himself as Sombra Slugworth, the head of the Wonka company's rival corporation. He tells her that he needs her to gather information on the inner workings of the factory, citing there's something sinister going on. Sunset pays him no mind, however, and tells him to leave before her parents come back. He doesn't heed her warning and as a result, Charlie and Violet, now with their friends, the landlord, and the investigators in tow, use him as a battering ram to open the door. Another brawl ensues and the police come and arrest the four freeloaders for insurance fraud.

Seemingly suffering from temporary amnesia, Sombra attempts to convince Sunset again, only this time for the group to chuck him out the window into the dumpster below. While the group celebrate the days victories, Sombra goes to meet his compatriot Bon Bon, who is a private investigator herself. She, Sombra, and Shining Armor, a police detective, have each been getting messages from an unknown, but credible, source from inside the factory. They say something bad is in play and the tour is part of the plan. Sombra also notes that he and several other candy company heads have been invited to the factory the day of the tour as well. Shining Armor is however a bit apprehensive about investigating since Cadance will be going there the night before. Apparently she'll be helping out in a special event for after the tour.

The night before the event however, he seems to loose contact with her. A bad feeling sets in and he call Sombra and Bon Bon who have also lost communication with their contact. He decides to help them investigate the factory the next day. But knowing he'll need some help he decides to recruit an 11 year old Flurry Heart, who is all too eager to help. Spoiler alert: this will result in various hijinks.

Meanwhile the tourists are checked into a hotel for a pre-event party. Sunset and Flash are able to get Twilight away from Timber for a while, much to his annoyance.

Ok that's it. I'm gonna get started on, I think it's, chapter 8 and I'm gonna try to get it out by February 1st. Because that's the day the tour in the book and the remake landed on.

Anyways I'll update you if I have one.
