Everyone walked inside the room and stood behind the gate looking down to see a room with filled squirrels breaking open nuts.

Veruca leaned over the gate and looked at all the squirrels admiring them. "Squirrels!"

"Yeah,squirrels. These squirrels are specially trained to get the nuts out of shells." Will replied

"Why use squirrels? Why not use Oompa Loompas?" Mr salt asked

"Because only squirrels can get the whole walnut out almost every single time." He said and mr salt just made a face that said 'fair enough.'

"See how they tap them on their little knuckles to make sure it's not bad?" He asked

A squirrel grabbed one and began tapping it against the edge of the table and Will noticed.

"Oh look, look! I think that one's got a bad nut." Just as he said that the squirrel threw it over its shoulder and it rolled into the trash chute.

"Daddy, I want a squirrel.get me one of those squirrels. I want one."Veruca demanded

"Veruca dear you have many marvellous pets." Mr salt replied

"All I've got at home is one pony, two dogs, four cats, six bunny rabbits, two parakeets, two canaries. a green parrot, a turtle,and a silly old hamster. I want a squirrel!" She demanded

'What a spoiled little shit.' You thought to yourself

"Alright,dear. Daddy will get you a squirrel just as soon as he possibly can." Mr salt replied and mr wonka looked over at the squirrels not listening to the conversation and just imagining pushing mr salt over the gate and him rolling down the stairs and his head cracking open.

"But I don't want any old squirrel. I want a trained squirrel." She said

Mr wonka snapped out of his thoughts and looked over at mr salt and Veruca.

"Very well....mr wonka, how much do you want for one of these squirrels. Name your price." He said and Veruca looked up at him smiling widely creeping you out slightly.

Mr wonka looked at the squirrels and then at mr salt "oh they're not for sale.she can't have one." He said making Veruca's smile drop and she looked at her father.

"Daddy." She glared at him

"I'm sorry darling. Mr wonka is being unreasonable." Will imitated mr salts voice while holding his head high making you stifle a laugh.

"If you won't get me a squirrel. I'll get one myself." Veruca said before climbing through the bars of the gate and walking down the steps.

"Veruca." Mr salt called for her

Veruca held onto the railing as she walked down the steps looking at all the squirrels deciding which one she wanted.

"Little girl!" Will called out

"Veruca come back here at once. Veruca!"Mr salt demanded

Veruca walked over to one of the squirrels but the others heard her and stopped doing their work to watch as Veruca walked over to a squirrel.

"Little girl, don't touch that squirrels nuts! It will make him crazy!" Will said

The squirrel turned around to look at her and she reached out to grab it "I'll have you!"

Just as she got close enough to grab it the squirrel jumped off the seat and ran passed her making all the other squirrels jump off their seats and run towards her.

"Veruca!" Mr salt called as he shook the gate realising it was locked he looked at Will who grabbed a massive circle key chain with multiple keys dangling from it and he forced a nervous laugh.

The squirrels jumped onto Veruca and climbed all over her clawing at her face and clothes making her fall on her back.

"Veruca!" Mr salt began shaking the gate more vigorously trying to open it while Will tried different keys on the lock.

"Not that one." He said smiling slightly enjoying the situation

The squirrels held Veruca down as one climbed over her and held onto her forehead before tapping on it and listening.

"What are they doing?" Charlie asked

"They're testing to see if she's a bad nut."

The squirrel let out a loud squeak and mr wonka frowned "oh my goodness...she is a bad nut after all." He said before the squirrels lifted her up and dragged her over to the garbage chute.

"Where are they taking her?" Mr salt asked

"Where all the other bad nuts go the garbage chute."mr wonka replied

"Where does the chute go?" He asked

"To the incinerator, but don't worry we only light it on Tuesdays!" He said smiling and everyone looked at him

"Today is Tuesday." Mike pointed out

"Well there's always the chance they decided not to light it today."

The squirrels all ran off and let Veruca fall through the chute as her screams became faint once her screams disappeared the squirrels ran back to their seats.

"Now she may be stuck in the chute just over the top if that's the case all you have to do is just reach in and pull her out.Kay?" Mr wonka asked smiling sinisterly before unlocking the gate

He pushed the gate open and glared at Mr salt while he walked down the steps.

"He's going to get what he deserves. However...something tells me he's going to be back."

Mr salt looked at you before walking down the steps as the Oompa Loompas began singing once again.

"Ah-ah"

"Ah-ah-ah"

"Ah-ah"

"Ah-ah-ah-ah"

"Ah-ah"

"Ah-ah-ah"

"Veruca Salt, the little brute.Has just gone down the garbage chute"

"And she will meet as she descends"

"A rather different set of friends"

"A rather different set of friends,A rather different set of friends." As the Oompa Loompas sang they danced around the garbage chute.

"A fish head, for example, cut this morning from a halibut" an Oompa Loompa sang as he threw a fish head into the chute.

"An oyster from an oyster stew" another one said throwing it into the chute as well

"A steak that no-one else would chew"

"And lots of other things as well,Each with its rather horrid smell,Horrid smell."

"These are Veruca's newfound friends,That she will meet as she descends,These are Veruca's newfound friends."

"Ah-ah-ah-ah,Ah-ah-ah,Ah-ah-ah-ah,Ah-ah-ah-ah"

The Oompa Loompas knelt down as mr salt went over to the chute.

Wills face turned into a twisted grin a sickening amount of joy filling him to the core.

"Who went and spoiled her, who indeed?"

"Who pandered to her every need?"

"Who turned her into such a brat?" An Oompa Loompa asked a squirrel

"Who are the culprits, who did that?"

"The guilty ones, now this is sad.Dear old Mum, and loving... Dad" a squirrel jumped onto mr salt and pushed him into the chute making Will quietly laugh but he covered his mouth to hide it from everyone else.

An Oompa Loompa pulled on Will's coat and he knelt down as the Oompa Loompa whispered in his ear.

"really? Oh good! I've just been informed the incinerator is broken so there should be about 3 weeks of rotten garbage to break their fall." He said pretending he was happy about the news

"Well that's good." Mr teavee said

"Yeah. Well let's keep on track." Will said walking off while you followed him.

"If only the incinerator wasn't broken now you'll have to deal with him yourself."
