The next morning work continued as normal. Larry and Abacus were ironing the clothes, while Lottie stacked them on a table
"Hey, where's the kid?" Abacus asked, looking at each one "he should be washing"
"Well, I don't know" Piper said "He was here a few minutes ago"
"He better show up before Bleacher comes" Abacus handed the ironed clothes to Lottie
"He wanted to escape" Larry spoke "Maybe they found him and he's locked in the closet"
"Yeah, maybe"
"Hey! Noodle! Come here!" Abacus managed to hear it coming from another room, and instantly saw how the girl ran to hide behind her desk
"What's happening?" Piper asked
"Are you playing hide and seek?" Larry questioned, showing a smile "Great! I'm joining"
"No plays" Abacus exclaimed "We have to work"
A moment later, young Wonka appeared, looking around "Hey, fellas, sorry if I was distracted for a moment... but someone took my hat"
Larry covered his mouth, trying not to laugh as he looked out of the corner of his eye at Noodle, who was lying hidden, noticing that she had the hat in her hands
"Kid, this ain't a game, if Mrs. Scrubbit sees you, she'll lock you in the closet" Abacus said
"Oh, but it's not a game" Wonka looked away as he discreetly approached the desk "It's a way to pass the time, otherwise all this is boring"
"It's funny" Larry giggled
Wonka suddenly knelt on the floor, holding onto the edge of the desk "I found you, Noodle!" he exclaimed, smiling and at the same time taking the girl by surprise, who began to laugh
"Hey! You cheated" she said, feigning anger
"What are you two doing so carefree?" Abacus questioned
"Just a little distraction, it's not a bad thing" Willy explained
A whistle coming from outside interrupted the fun. Wonka let out a long sigh, while the others stopped what they were doing
"Okay, Noodle, I'll leave you my hat" Wonka turned to look at her "You know what you have to do now"
She nodded

Bleacher sat outside in the cold and began to call out their names, "Bell!"
Lottie came out, "Here" she said in a low tone, then hurried off
"Benz!"
Piper came out as well, humming in response
"Chucklesworth!"
Larry followed after and gave Bleacher a glare
"Crunch!"
"Here" Abacus walked out as well
Bleacher looked at the last name "Wonka..."
They all went again towards the laundry, but Wonka stopped in his track when he heard Mrs. Scrubbit yelling from inside. Bleacher rolled his eyes
"Unmistakable sound of love" Wonka said
"What?" Bleacher looked at him, confused
"Yeah, look at you, fine... figure of a man! You just need to tidy up yourself a little, get some new clothes... have a bath... well, you know what they say... right?" he asked
"What do they say...?"
"She'll be thankful for an ankle... pleased to see your knees... but if you want to make her sigh... show her some thigh" the young man said
Mrs. Scrubbit was heard again, yelling about the toilet overflowing. Bleacher sent Wonka back into the laundry, then he left as well

Mrs. Scrubbit walked down the stairs and approached the front desk, where she noticed that Noodle was sitting on the floor and looking at a drawing on a paper instead of scrubbing the floors clean
The woman frowned and quietly approached before grabbing the paper away from her, making them around "What do you have here?" Mrs. Scrubbit looked at the drawing
"...Alright, fine... I was reading a book about the Bavarian royal family and I found this sketch in it... and looks oddly familiar" Noodle explained
"Hmm, Bleacher? A Bavarian aristocrat?" Mrs. Scrubbit looked at Noodle, who simply shrugged "Pfft! Go and get my gin!" she yelled
In the laundry Wonka pushed the cart around, putting material in it while everyone else was working
"First, you pick up the appeal and you stick it in the barrel"</p>
"Scrub, scrub"
"Then you put it to the mangel, making sure you don't get strangled-"
"Scrub, scrub"
"Oh Tiddles here's your check! To chase my mail man pants!"
"Scrub, scrub"
"Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you a new contraption to my creation, a new innovation in doing laundry" Wonka stood beside his invention
Tiddles was running on a custo made tred mill, which activated other contraptions that washed, folded and ironed the sheets
"Now, with Willy Wonka's, wild and wonderful wishy washy wonka walker! Please don't make me say that again- Tiddles gets to run and I can have fun!"
They all looked amazed by it
Wonka walked off, putting his coat on "I'm popping out for a bit! I'll be back before the roll call, see you later, and don't worry, I'll take care of Noodle" he left
