Erica's POV:
I arrived to my destination, I'm wearing warmer clothes since it's cold and snowing and I changed it when I'm on the plane.

I got off the plane and grab my luggages and went to get a taxi to take me to my cousin and our family.

As the taxi driver drove me, I saw a big factory and knew what it is, it belongs to my idol, Mr. Willy Wonka. I love his candies ever since I first tried them and I dreamed of meeting him since. Then I saw a little worn-out house and I knew this was my cousin's home. "Right here." I said the the taxi driver stopped, I pay the driver with a thank you as he nodded. I got out and grab my luggages from the trunk.

I walk towards the house, saw how my family got poor, I felt awful for them. I walk to the door, knocked and wait patiently for the door opened. The door opened, revealing a woman. "Hello, may I help you?" She asked, "Aunt, don't you remember me?" I asked, knew it's been too long from when we last saw each other. The woman recognized me as she said, "Erica? Is that you?" I smiled and said, "Yes." Aunt chuckled and hugs me as I hugged her back.

"Erica, it's been too long. Look how you've grown. Come in, you must be tired." Aunt Bucket said as she let me inside. "Everyone, look who's here." She said as I put my luggages down, "It's Erica. She's back." I smiled as my grandparents smiled at me. I walked to them and kissed them on the cheek and hugs them as I said, "Hi Grandma Georgina. Hi Grandpa George. Hi Grandma Josephine. Hi Grandpa Joe. I missed you so much."

"Erica, it's been a very long time. And look at you, you grew into a beautiful young lady." Grandpa Joe said. "It's been too long, hasn't it?" I said before looking around and asked, "Where's Uncle Bucket and Charlie?" "Mr. Bucket's at work and Charlie's at school. They'll be here soon."

"I can't wait to see them again." "So Erica, what brings you here?" Grandma Josephine asked me, "Well, my parents told me how poor you all got, so I want to help." "You don't have to worn yourself out just to help us." Grandpa Joe said, "But I do. Your my family and I love you all, and I want to help." They all smiled at me, they knew I'm a selfless, kind, caring and loving girl. The door opened and entered a young brown haired boy. It's Charlie! He changed since the last time I saw him.

"Hi everyone." Charlie said before stopped in his tracks when he saw me, "Charlie, look who's here to visits us." Aunt Bucket said, "E-Erica?" Charlie said with hope in his voice. "Hi Charlie. Been a long time." I said, Charlie smiled widely before running into my arms as we hugged each other tightly. "I miss you Erica." Charlie said, "I miss you too, Charlie." I said, ever since we were little, Charlie and I have been very close.

"What are you doing here?" Charlie asked as we pulled away. "I'm here because I want to help you guys." "Your uncle Edward and aunt Mary told her how poor we are, so she came to help us." Aunt Bucket said as she's finished making cabbage soup. "We need all the help we can get." Charlie said, soon after Uncle Bucket came in and saw me.

"Uncle Bucket!" I said excitedly as I ran and hugged my uncle. "Erica! I missed you!" Uncle Bucket said as he hugs me back, "I missed you too!" "Soup's ready. We don't have another bowl for Erica." Aunt Bucket said, "That's alright. I'll just share one." I said, "You can share mine." Charlie said, "Thank you Charlie."

Later on, they surprisingly have another room and they left me to sleep in it until I go back to New York after they have enough money again. As everyone sleeps, I look through the window to see the Chocolate Factory perfectly. I just hope we'll go in that factory, someday.
