Chapter 2: Lauren's Visit

Taryn's POV

Its finally February now, which means a whole bunch of people are gonna get the flu because it's Valentines Day soon, and Valentines Day means kisses, which also means germs! Bubby must be so proud of me hating Valentines Day 'cause of the kissing and all that sappy crap. And since Valentines Day is near, Bubs also has to make a whole bunch of Valentine candy, which means me and Charlie are bored to death! Also, there's a Valentines Day dance the school is holding on Valentines Day for the middle school kids. But I have no idea why because thirteen year olds don't kiss and make out and all that sappy junk!

I got bored from watching videos on YouTube for some reason, and decided to go to the candy room and pork out. And you can't call me fat because I am one of those kids that eat like an elephant, but looks like a starving kid. After having a little sugar rush, I went back to my room, pulled out my sketch book, and started designing an outfit for me to wear 'cause the Loompa Girls insist on making a dress for me for the dance. I drew a dress that was a light blue on top and lavender on the bottom. It had a yellow bow in the middle part to keep the dress from falling apart. I also drew purple and yellow boots to match with it, and a miniature blue top hat with a tiny yellow bow on it just to scream Wonka. I ripped the piece of paper out when I finished coloring it, and gave it to Dory (AKA Doris), then went to do something else. I like to call her Dory 'cause it's short for Doris, and I have a...lets say an interest in Finding Nemo.

Since Willy is way too busy right now, Charlie and I were stuck playing Minecraft until he gets back. I actually wanted to play either Mortal Kombat or get on my computer and play Yandere Simulator (Google It). The Oompa Loompa, Cocoa came in and told me that there's someone at the gates for some odd reason. Charlie and I paused our game to see who it was, and when we got there, I could've sworn I had seen a face like that somewhere. Wait a minute, it's Lauren! I opened the gates for her, and she walked in. I ran to her, and gave her a big hug, 'cause I miss her so freaking much! "Taryn, that's a bit...tight!" Lauren said, while trying to breathe. "Sorry 'bout that, it's just been a long time!" I said. Charlie just stood there, so confused at the moment. I decided to introduce them to each other and brought 'em in. Lauren nearly dropped dead when she saw Cocoa and Dory. "Who are those lil guys?" Lauren asked surprised. "They're Oompa Loompas, don't worry, they don't bite." I said. I led her into the chocolate room 'cause she needs to see it. Lauren loves nature, this kinda relates to it. I had about died of laughter when I seen the look on Lauren's face. It should've become a meme! It would've been amazing. I told her everything was 'eatable' as my big bro would say it. I walked up to Charlie and said, "Say here, Char. I'm gonna get Willy and bring him here." Charlie nodded, and I went to the Inventing Room.

Bubs looked liked he hadn't slept in weeks! Poor guy works too hard for his own good. I tapped his shoulder to see if he was okay, and apparently he had just now, fell asleep. "Willy? Hey buddy, wake up." I said gently. He woke up in a flash, and continued working on candy. I pulled him away from his work, and into the elevator to take him back to the chocolate room. "What the hell, Taryn? I was in the middle of working!" Willy said rather upset about it. "You need a break. Besides, someone's here!" I said not hoping I spoiled the surprise. "Who on earth would be here?" He asked. Oiy, he really is an idiot, isn't he? I thought. I told him it's a surprise, and he would love it. Bubs was so damn confused, I don't even think he knew where he was.

We finally got to the chocolate room, and I literally dragged him to Lauren. Omg, their faces were priceless when they saw each other! I thought I was gonna die! ((Just use your imagination and think of what their faces look like.)) They just sat there in silence, just looking at each other like they seen Mark Wahlberg. I think they do love each other, but I'm not gonna be a jerk about it, and put some extra weight on Bubby's shoulders by saying 'Someone's got a crush!' Yeah, I'm letting him figuring this one out on his own. "Uh...hey?" Was all Willy could say. "Uh...hi Will. What's up?" Lauren asked. Willy just shrugged. "The usual, making candy. I thought you were in college for a few more months." Lauren shook her head. "No, they had to shut down 'cause they went into bank ruptcy." Lauren said. "So I came back to town, and thought that I should say 'Hi'." Willy nodded. "Oh, 'kay then. As much as I would like to stay, I really gotta get back to work, 'kay bye!" Bubs tried to walk off, but I brought him back and pulled him down to my level. "Why do you always avoid people for work? I mean, c'mon this is Lauren! She your bestie, isn't she?" I asked. "I'm always avoiding people because I have a job, and I need to work. Also, other than you and Charlie, yes she is my bestie." Bubs said, then he stormed off. Lauren looked like she didn't feel welcomed, so she left. I managed to catch up with her, and I got her to stop. "Lauren!" I shouted. "What is it?" She asked a bit annoyed. "Listen, Bubs isn't talking to you because he's been busy with a whole bunch of candy making since Valentines Day is coming up soon. So, maybe when Valentines Day is over, and he isn't so busy, you could probably come over some time?" I explained. She nodded, then left. I went back into the factory, and told Bubby what I said about Lauren coming over when he isn't so busy. Luckily, he said that he'll talk to Lauren about it when he doesn't have to work on candy, and that means on Sunday. Oh, I just realized that Sunday's tomorrow! Well then...they'll be talking sooner than I thought.

Well, chapter 2 finally. Don't worry, the romance is for the later chapters. Also this is an AU. And the dress Taryn designed for her Valentine day dance is basically a rip off of Pinkie Pie's dress from the fall formal on Equestria Girls.
