It was on the fifth anniversary on the day he landed in Oz that Oscar Diggs' life was changed once more.
He had been on a walk through Munchkinland, disguised as a traveler seeking his fortune. Sometimes, Oz (as Oscar was called now) needed to escape the pressures of being famous, no matter how much he enjoyed it. He had begun to whistle a merry tune when he had spotted the most beautiful woman he ever laid eyes on. However, Oz was so entranced by the girl's beauty that he accidentally crashed into a tree!
Laughing, the woman raced over and helped Oz to his feet. "Are you okay?" she asked. The Wizard froze. This girl had sparkling, hazel eyes and long brown hair. Oz made a pathetic excuse of a reply by nodding. "I'm Melena," the woman said, reaching out a hand.
"Oscar Diggs," the Wizard replied, shaking the fair- skinned and slender hand. "But you can call me Oz." His mind now tried to ponder how many times he had said this to a woman… but this time, he really meant it. This girl was beautiful, and he wanted to be with her. "Sorry you had to see me like this," Oz apologized, blushing. "It's just… you're so beautiful beyond words, and-,"
"Thank you," replied Melena, now blushing as well. "But… you see, I have a husband, and…"
"I understand." Of course. The one woman Oz actually and genuinely fell for had to be married. Disappointed, the Wizard apologized to Melena and stalked off. When he got back to the Emerald City, he told Glinda the Good of his troubles.
"She's married?" Glinda asked for what seemed to be the trillionth time. Oz had never been so ticked off in his life, not even when that one fateful tornado nearly killed him.
"YES, SHE'S MARRIED!" roared Oz. "I'm sorry, Glinda… you're the only one who really understands me, and I just-,"
"I know," interrupted the blonde woman. "You're forgiven. Well… just tell her how you feel, if you really love her that much." Oz seemed to ponder this advice for a few moments. After his head finally stopped hurting, he announced, "You're right; I will! And I'll give her a little something, too…"
Since that day, Oz made continuous visits to Melena's house… or mansion, rather. She turned out to be the wife of the governor of Munchkinland. One day, while Frex (the governor) went off to an assembly, Oz snuck in and brought his girlfriend another bottle of the green miracle elixir he invented. "This one you get to keep," he told her after he teased her with the bottle. "It's my last night here."
"I know," Melena murmured. "With all your work…" The last visit Oz had made was the visit where he told Melena that he was the Wizard. She had promised not to say anything. The two lovers kissed senseless and… well, they had a passionate love affair. And that was that. Oz would not hear news of Melena untill three years later...
