Title: Friends

Summary: Wilder Wonka fanfiction. Who were Willy Wonka and Arthur Slugworth? How did they go from friends to enemies? Switches POV.

Rating: T. There’s nothing really bad about it, I just like rating everything T.

Pairings: Although Wonka/Slugworth sounds interesting, I don’t stray toward the romantic side in this story.

Disclaimer: Do I look like Roald Dahl to you? He’s too awesome to be me anyway. :)

I’m. Not. Dead. I’ve had waaaaay to much homework from my evil teachers and I’ve had drama ‘till 5 every day, so I’ve literally had no time. I’M NOT ABONDONING MY OTHER PROJECTS. Yes, I know I probably shouldn’t be starting another multi chapter fic, (this would be my third one), but I really just had to. I just love the idea of representing their meeting and their life as a sort of diary format because I love writing in character’s POV’s. So, it switches from Wonka to Slugworth, although I think you’ll be able to tell the difference.

Based off the 70’s version, although I tried to make references to the book. (Although I failed.) Slightly AU because the guy is actually Slugworth and not some other guy pretending to be Slugworth. The writing progresses better as the years go by, sounding like a six year old when it starts then into full adults.

Dear Diary,

I really hope that Mother and Father haven’t been lying to me for the past six years. They said that life was a game and school was a round in the game, that it would be fun and vibrant and interesting. I had a horrible day today. Today was my first day of school, and I must say it was incredibly boring. We didn’t really do much except read about how dogs go “Bow wow wow” and cats go “Meow meow meow”. The only thing remotely interesting was when we got into a semi circle and said our names and got to act them out. Most people pretended to be animals, like dogs and cats and birds and whatnot, but I pretended to be a cow-unicorn. I personally loved my idea and thought that it was very original. The teacher, Ms. Honey, didn’t. She got very angry and said that I shouldn’t make up such nonsense. Then all of the kids pointed and laughed at me. Sometimes I really don’t understand people.

Ms. Honey kept writing things on the board about arithmetic, but I wasn’t listening. When my Mother taught me about arithmetic she made it like a game, making each number have its own sound and uniqueness about it. Ms. Honey didn’t. She breezed through it and didn’t let us ask many questions, and made everything very boring and much the same. I really was trying to pay attention, but it was so tedious that it was almost impossible to. I began to think about home, and all of a sudden an idea popped into my head: What if my home was in outer space? I wonder if I would be green like the aliens? Would my parents be green? By that point I was so involved into my fantasies of Martians as my neighbors and floating front lawns that I had completely forgotten the bell had rung and was all alone in the classroom. I don’t know why but I stayed in the classroom for about another hour until I walked home. Without all twenty of my fellow classmates and my teacher it was eerily lonely yet comforting. I don’t know really how to describe it; it was just so… calm and peaceful. I liked it.

Mother and Father were very angry that I walked home late and I got beaten by my Father. Sometimes I just wish they would die.

Until again

Dear Journal,

Today was very fun. I had my first day at sckool. The teacher Ms. Honey was very nice. We got to read a story called “Ms. Callie’s Egg” which was very nice. We did this thing where we got in a cirkle and pretenbed to be animals. This one wierd kid pretended to be a unicorn-cow witch doesn’t exist. Then we laffed. We learned our ABCs and 123s and our Ps and Qs and mommy says if I keep doing good then she’ll let me stay up until 7. It’s been a good day.

Lov, Arthur

Not a very good opening, but I assure you it will get better. It just sucks now because it’s hard to write like a little kid and still keep the writing interesting. They will meet sort of in the next chapter.
