"Alternate Wonka Plot: Veruca Version"
a Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory fanfic by Inflationcouplingist

The other three contestants from Wonka's candy tour were waiting for the next person who was disqualified to come.

When the doors opened, Wonka told them that the winner has been chosen and thanks the three for competing.

"That's it?" Veruca asked. "Why...."

"Hmm...why what?" Wonka questioned.

"You chose two people!" Veruca replied.

"Oh." Wonka responded. "Well, she too was disqualified from the tour as well."

"Are you sure?" Veruca asked.

"Yep." Wonka said.

Veruca then left without saying anything else with her father.

"I wonder what happened to the other contestant?" Veruca's father asked.

"Who cares!" Veruca yelled in anger.

"N-Now now Veruca dear, I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for that." her father told her.

"What's yours?!" Veruca asked.

"W-W-Well...mabey she took the back door." Mr. Salt said.

"Lets see if she did then!" Veruca demanded.

"Hold it!" a voice came out.

Veruca and her father froze as they looked for the source of the voice.

"Relax, I'm not here to hurt you." the voice said as he emerged from the shadow's. He looked like a rather tall man, dressed in all black and wearing a black hat, tilted down to cover his face.

"Who are you?" Mr. Salt asked the man.

"I can not tell you my name, but I will tell you that I am from a rival candy factory who always gets bested by that loathsome Wonka." the man told them.

"You hate him too?" Veruca asked.

"Hate doesn't begin to describe how much I want Wonka out of business and in a gutter!" the man said. "And I know a way how. But I need you two."

"What do you want with us?" Veruca questioned.

"I have heard of a machine that Wonka has that produces an extraordinary piece of gum." the man explained. "May not sound like it, but with that machine, it'll put me out of business...that is if I can get to it first."

"Well...why don't you go in and steal it yourself?" Mr. Salt asked.

"Yeah, why not just you?" Veruca asked.

"The problem is that I can't. Wonka has a scanner that will read off who's from a rival candy company." the man explained. "But...I didn't say anything about someone from the nut business."

"Is that meant as an insult?" Veruca questioned in anger.

"Nut sorting business." the man told them. "I am willing to pay you about this much..." The man shows the two his check for a large sum of money. "And in exchange, I'll give you my automated nut sorting machine."

"What do you think daddy?" Veruca asked her father.

"W-Well... I'm no criminal..." Mr. Salt told the man.

"I'm not either" Veruca told the man.

"Don't worry, Wonka's an idiot to suspect you two trying to steal his machine. He probably won't notice that it was stolen." the man told the two.

"I-I don't..." Suddenly, Mr. Salt saw the man trying to pull something out of his pocket, probably a gun. "A-Alright, we'll do it, we'll do it!" he said.

"Daddy?" Veruca asked.

"Yes dear?" Mr. Salt asked.

"What's the matter?" Veruca questioned.

"N-Nothing dear." Mr. Salt said as he and Veruca walked away from the mysterious man.

The man then took, from out of his coat pocket, some beef jerky he had. "Wonder what his deal is?" he asked to himself as he took a bite of the jerky.


A Week Later...

Inside Wonka's factory, all was quiet inside and the factory was preparing to close for the night.

"Oh Charlie, isn't this wonderful?" Violet asked.

"Yeah." Charlie told Violet while rubbing her berry body gently.

"Heh, glad you two are enjoying it." Wonka told the two.

"Yeah. Thanks Mr. Wonka." Charlie said.

"Thanks." Violet said to him.

Soon, an Oompa Loompa came up to the three.

"Hey Oompa Loompa!" Violet replied.

"How's it going?" Charlie asked.

The Oompa Loompa waved back at Charlie and Violet, then handed a notepad to Wonka.

"Hmm?" Wonka responded as he picked up the note pad, showing the progress report on the juicer. "Oh, it's almost fixed! Should be done by tomorrow at about 5 o'clock in the morning."

"That's good." Violet said.

"Yep." Wonka said. "Too bad the juice in you was already part of your bodily systems. Remember what I've said about that?"

"Oh I remember." Violet replied, smiling as she rubbed and patted her berry body.

"But I'm glad that you're enjoying being a blueberry girl." Wonka responded.

Violet smiled and giggled a bit. "Especially with my comfy clothes on me." she said, looking at her stretched out buttoned shirt and pants.

Charlie smiled and gently patted Violet's belly.

Violet smiled more, blushing.

"Well, I don't know about you two, but I've had a long day." Wonka told the two.

"Me too." Violet said, yawning.

"Mind if I roll you to the room?" Charlie asked.

"I don't mind at all." Violet replied, kissing Charlie's cheek.

Charlie smiled and gently tipped Violet and rolled her to the room.


That night, around 4:30 at night, Mr. Salt and her daughter sneaked into the factory and towards the inventing room.

"How do we figure out what we're looking for?" Veruca asked.

"He said that it'll be the red and silver one, with a bee's hive on it." Mr. Salt told her.

"Ohh..." Veruca responded.

The two searched around the Inventing Room carefully till they found the gum machine.

"This must be it." Mr. Salt said.

"How are we going to steal this?" Veruca asked.

"I don't..." Mr. Salt then touched the start up button and the machine began. "Oops."

"Daddy!" Veruca said as the machine went and did its thing.

Soon enough, the machine stopped and produced a piece of gum from the hatch.

"That's it?" Veruca asked.

"I guess so." Mr. Salt said.

"We came in here to steal this?!" Veruca questioned.

"W-Well, if the man wants the machine, I guess it must have some value to it." Mr. Salt said. "M-Maybe trying the piece wouldn't hurt."

"Okay..." Veruca took the piece and chewed it. "It's amazing!"

"What does it taste like dear?" Mr. Salt asked.

"Tomato soup!" Veruca said. "It's hot and creamy! I can feel it running down my throat!"

"Tomato soup flavored gum?" Mr. Salt responded. "That's an uncanny flavor for gum."

"Now it's changing!" Veruca exclaimed.

"Into what dear?" Mr. Salt asked.

"Roast beef with baked potato!" Veruca exclaimed. "MMM!! Crispy skinned too!"

"What kind of gum is that?" Mr. Salt questioned as he looked at the machine.

"Now it's on cherry pie!" Veruca exclaimed. "It's the most marvelous cherry pie I've ever tasted!"

"Tomato soup, roast beef, and cherry pie." Mr. Salt said. "It's like a three co-" He then looks at Veruca. "V-V-Veruca...?"

Veruca groaned a bit. "What?!" she asked.

"Y-Your f-face..." Mr. Salt responded.

"What about it?!" Veruca asked.

"It's turning red." Mr Salt told her.

"Red?!" Veruca questioned.

"Y-Yes, your face, your eyes, your hands, they're red!" Mr. Salt said.

Veruca looked at her hands and screamed.

"What was in that...VERUCA!" Mr. Salt looked at what was happening to her daughter.

"Daddy!" Veruca responded. "What is it now?!"

"You're blowing up!" Mr. Salt replied.

"Blowing up?!" Veruca asked.

"Look!" Mr Salt said.

Veruca looked down and saw her belly bloating up, making her scream.

"You're blowing up like a balloon!" Mr. Salt said as Veruca continued blowing up.

"Like a cherry." a voice called out.

"A ch-ch-cherry?!" Veruca yelled out as she got bigger.

"Wha?! Who said that?!" Mr. Salt asked as he looked around the room.

"I did." Mr. Wonka. responded as he came out with Charlie and six Oompa Loompas.

"Mr. Wonka?!" Veruca yelled out. "Charlie?!"

"I guess even with cherry pie as a flavor, it still has that problem." Charlie said.

"I guess so." Wonka replied.

"What did you do to my daughter?!" Mr. Salt asked.

"What's happening to me?!" Veruca asked as she got bigger.

"The gum you chewed is a three course meal gum, but I guess even with cherry pie, it still goes wrong at the dessert." Wonka explained.

"Can this be cured?!" Veruca asked, rounding out as she filled with cherry juice.

"Yes, but you have to be juiced, but as for the skin coloration, that doesn't go away." Charlie explained.

"It doesn't?!" Veruca questioned.

"Yeah, I don't even know why." Wonka told her. "But the juicer's getting fixed right now."

"The juicer?" Mr. Salt asked.

"What's that?" Veruca added.

"It'll rid you of the juice that you're blowing up with." Charlie explained. "But unfortunately, it's getting repaired."

"Repaired?!" Veruca yelled out.

"Fortunately for you, it's almost done getting repaired." Wonka told her.

Soon enough, Veruca stopped bloating and had become a giant, round cherry girl in a red jumpsuit and with blonde swirly hair. "Daddy!" she yelled out, flapping her hands.

"Don't just stand there, HELP HER!" Mr. Salt responded.

"Don't worry, we will." Wonka told Mr.Salt. He then turned to the Oompa Loompas. "I want you to roll Veruca to the juicer and place her in the room, but the red one."

"Daddy!" Veruca yelled in fear and anger.

"D-Don't worry Veruca, I'll sue Mr. Wonka for this." Mr. Salt said, but then felt handcuffs putted on him. "Huh?"

"Oh, you'll be a little too busy spending time in jail." Wonka said.

"Why?!" Veruca asked.

"Well, let's see. Breaking into a factory and trying to steal equipment for a rival candy company." Wonka said. "And your associate, Mr. Bobblebob of Bobblebob Candies, will also be arrested."

"W-What!" Mr. Salt replied. "Wh-What about Veruca?!"

"Well...I've informed the police about that, and the court has left me in custody of her." Wonka said. "Just till she's old enough to leave on her own."

"No! Daddy!" Veruca yelled.

The Oompa Loompas tipped Veruca onto her back and rolled her away as Mr. Salt is taken away.

"Let me go!" Veruca yelled as she was rolled.

"Sorry Veruca, you'll have to be juiced." Charlie said.

"Then what'll happen?!" Veruca asked, forcibly getting rolled.

"Well, you're left in my care so you'll remain here till you go to college." Wonka told her.

"But-" Veruca gasped.

"Ah, here we are." Wonka said as they arrived into the juicing room with Oompa Loompas still working on the machine.

"This is the juicer?" Veruca asked.

"Yep." Charlie said.

The Oompa Loompas then rolled Veruca towards the room Wonka mentioned, but she was going in the wrong room.

"No, not that room!" Wonka said as the Oompa Loompas entered the wrong room.

The Oompa Loompas placed Veruca on her side, facing the door. Then, they left the room.

"Hey!" Veruca yelled out in anger. "LET ME OUT!!"

"Can it you twit!" Violet yelled at her.

"Violet?!" Veruca questioned and wondering why she was here.

"I could hear you from the inventing room!" Violet said.

"So that's where you are!" Veruca yelled angerly.

"Surprised?" Violet asked.

"You little brat!" Veruca angerly yelled at her.

"Look who's talking." Violet said.

"How did you win?!" Veruca angerly asked.

"Well, Charlie's really the winner." Violet told her.

"Then why are you here?!" Veruca angerly asked.

"Oh...special reasons." Violet told her.

"Like what?" Veruca questioned.

"Well, I was also disqualified, but in the inventing room." Violet responded.

"Why?!" Veruca asked her.

Suddenly Charlie came into the room.

"Hey Charlie." Violet greeted, smiling.

"Hey Violet." Charlie greeted Violet happily. He then turned to Violet with an expressionless face. "Hey Veruca."

"What's going on?!" Veruca asked.

"I was gonna say the same thing." Charlie said in the same voice he greeted to Veruca.

"Oh, Veruca was telling me why I was here." Violet told him. "I told her that I was disqualified in the inventing room."

"But then why are you here?!" Veruca demanded. "I demand an answer!"

"Charlie, if you do the honors." Violet said.

"Okay." Charlie said. He tipped Veruca back onto her groin and turned her to see Violet.

Veruca went wide eyed when she saw Violet all round and blue.

"I also took the gum." Violet said.

"You did?!" Veruca shockingly asked.

"Yep." Violet answered.

"Why?!" Veruca questioned.

"I wanted to try it out and then I became a blueberry." Violet told her.

"You did?!" Veruca questioned.

"Yep. And I won the factory." Charlie said.

The Oompa Loompas came into the room and grabbed Veruca.

"Hey!" Veruca gasped as the Oompa Loompas grabbed her.

"Looks like the juicer's fixed." Charlie said as he released Veruca.

The Oompa Loompas tipped Veruca onto her side.

"Finally!" Veruca replied.

"That's good." Violet said.

"Wait...why isn't Violet coming with me?" Veruca asked.

Charlie hopped onto the basket and came up to Violet and gently rubbed her belly. "How are doing Violet?" he asked his blueberry girlfriend.

Violet blushed and smiled as she yawned. "A little tired." she replied.

Charlie yawned and smiled. "Me too." he said.

"What the-" Veruca was shocked by what she was seeing.

The Oompa Loompas then rolled Veruca out of the room.

"Hey!" Veruca gasped.

The Oompa Loompas then closed the door to Charlie and Violet's room as they rolled her to the juicer.

"Welcome back Veruca." Wonka greeted.

"Are they in love with each other?!" Veruca asked.

Wonka slightly laughed upon hearing that. "Oh yes, they had crushes on eachother, and now, they're boyfriend and girlfirend."

"What?!" Veruca replied.

"You didn't noticed while you were on the tour?" Wonka questioned.

"No..." Veruca responded.

"Well, they did, and they admitted it to each other." Wonka said. "Sealed it with a kiss."

"Eww..." Veruca replied, disgusted.

The Oompa Loompas rolled her into the juicer and tipped her back upright and latched her in.

Veruca shrieked as she was latched in.

"Don't worry, you'll be alright." Wonka said, as he activated the machine.

Veruca shrieked more as the machine started.

The machine began squeezing Veruca of the cherry juice inside her.

"OW! OW! OW!" Veruca yelled as she was getting squeezed.

"Relax Veruca, you'll..." Wonka then noticed the juice getting out of Veruca, but she wasn't getting any smaller. "That's odd..."

"What?!" Veruca asked.

Wonka looked at Veruca. "Well the juice is being squeezed outta you..."

"Good!" Veruca replied.

"But..." Wonka examined her. "You don't seem to get smaller."

"What?!!" Veruca questioned.

"I guess the juicer still needs fixing..." Wonka then noticed that all of the cherry juice had been removed from Veruca. "But at least you're juiced."

"Then I'm normal?!" Veruca questioned.

"Well...you're still a big red ball girl." Wonka told her, while stepping back before he could get yelled up close.

Veruca screamed in fear and anger.

Wonka turned to the Oompa Loompas. "Could you roll Veruca down to a...sound proof room?"

The Oompa Loompas nodded and went over to Veruca.

"Shrink me!!" Veruca screamed.

"I don't have a shrinking machine." Wonka told her. "Besides, even if I did, I'm guessing it wouldn't help you return to your original form, just make you smaller while still round."

The Oompa Loompas released Veruca from the juicer.

Veruca screamed more.

An Oompa Loompa then covered Veruca's mouth.

"MRF?!?! MRRFFF!!!!" Veruca muffled.

Then, that same Oompa Loompa sprayed knockout cotton candy gas at Veruca.

Veruca suddenly dozed off and fell asleep, much to everyone's relief.

The Oompa Loompas then rolled Veruca towards the sound proof bedroom.

"Ahhh...nice and...*yawn*...quiet." Wonka said, going to his room.


Veruca was kept inside the factory as a giant red ball while her dad and Mr. Bobblebob were in jail for theft of expensive equipment. Veruca was shaky about it, but Violet reassured her of being a human ball, filled with juice or not. Veruca finally, and surprisingly, managed to calm down and found it fun being a red ball.

About 12 years later, Wonka retired and Charlie and Violet, still a human blueberry, were happily married. Veruca also had gotten married to a reformed Mike Teevee and are currently living inside the factory.

Soon enough, Violet and Veruca enjoyed their balled lives with their husbands, and their children, inside Wonka's Wonderful Chocolate Factory.
