Hello everyone. This is my first Tin Man story. It is a Glitch/DG story. The first chapter though basically explains what is going on after the defeat of the evil witch. We'll get onto the good stuff later. I hope you enjoy and leave a review.

Chapter one

The Aftermath

"The evil witch is defeated!" Was cheered all throughout the kingdom. Celebrations were being held in every village. Each varying greatly but none were as spectacular as the one being help at the palace. There wasn't any decorations up or even anyone dancing. It was a private party of ten. The royal family (of-course!) but there was also Glitch, Cain, Jeb, Raw, Kalm, and Toto.

They we're all sorting things out to repair the kingdom but it was filled with feelings of Joy and happiness even if no one was dancing or cheering in the castle. Cain and Jeb we're working out the details for the new police section. The royal family was just enjoying having each other back. Raw and Kalm didn't really have anywhere else to go anymore so they were staying as royal guests until they could go back. Toto was teaching again but mostly he was just re-educating DG on the history of the O.Z. What about Glitch? Well he was the personal assistant to the royal family again. He got his old job back and was inventing things left and right as best he could with only half a brain.

DG was very happy to be back in the O.Z of-course but she did sometimes wonder about the inner zone. The place where she spent the rest of her young teenage years growing up with no memory of her life at the O.Z. DG often wonder if her boss or her friends had reported her missing. Or if that old mill was ever fixed. The two robots that had taken care of her had returned to make excuses for her disappearance and to continue to live on the farm.

Right now DG was in Glitch's study-room. It was filled with pictures of inventions and of the royal family. Some of Lavender eyes and some of DG's father. None of Az, though he did have one of DG above the table which was mostly clean besides the plans he had just drawn up a little bit ago. DG sat and waited in the only other old wooden chair in the room besides the one at the desk. She saw Glitch leave a little while ago and decided what had been keeping him busy these last two days since the evil witch was gone. Everyone had a job to do but DG that is. Her only job was to be happy and relearn everything about the O.Z. It was extremely boring. So she was drawing as she sat and waited.

Glitch walks in and pauses in surprise at seeing DG in there. "Oh, hello DG. Why are you here? Why are you here? Why are you,"

"Glitch you're glitching again." DG says as she stands and rests her hands on his shoulders. She smiles as he stops.

"Oh, sorry DG. Why are you in here?" He asks surprised to see the princess in his study. He looks around feeling embarrassed that it wasn't more orderly but then again compared to how it had looked before it was a big improvement.

"I wanted to see you new invention. Though it looks like you're still designing it." She says and smile at the zipperhead.

"Yeah it's not done yet. Once it's finish it'll be able to help with the regrowing of the papay's forest." He says happy to talk about his latest idea. "Oh and I just learned that they'll be putting the other half of my brain in soon." He says happily excited about it all.

DG smiles and hugs her friend. "That's great to hear Glitch." She pulls away from the hug. "You're already smart. I bet with the other half of your brain that you're a genius."

He smiles broader. "Well I wouldn't say that princess. Though I am fairly excited." He looks down and suddenly remembers. "We are going to be late for dinner." He syas and turns to the door hurrying out.

DG follows right behind him. When they arrive to the dinner room almost everyone was already there. DG sits to the right side of her father. Az sat across from her. Her parents both sat at the front. To DG's right was Raw and on his was Glitch. Kalm sat across from Raw and ate slowly. Cain and Jeb weren't in sight.

DG's P.O.V

I noticed that Jeb and Cain weren't with us. "Hey where are Cain and Jeb?" Father paused in the middle of his chewing. Az looked down wiping her mouth occasionally with her napkin. "What is it?" She asks confused.

"He left." Glitch states as he continues to eat. They had left earlier that day without saying goodbye to anyone but Glitch watched them leave. "They went back to their old cabin to fix it then there Jeb will help manage the police in the city with Cain." He says remembering the conversation they had with the queen last night.

"Oh." I say before taking a bite of her food and smiling. "This is really good." I say with my mouth full. Everyone smiles and the talk starts up.

"Tomorrow we are moving back to the old palace. The frost will be removed and we'll be able to walk in and out again without all the ice in the way." Az says happily as she looks to our parents. I look to them as well and saw them smiling happily.

"Hopefully it won't be as cold as last time." I say and return to my food thinking about the block of ice that surrounded the castle. This caused Glitch and Ahamo to laugh loudly.

Lavender eyes smiles sweetly at her youngest. "It won't be after we fix everything. Mr. Raw, Kalm will you two be coming with?" She asks the two remaining guests.

Kalm looks to his new protector, Raw. "Can we?" Raw looks to the others then to his plate feeling weak in courage again.

"Raw you should come. We have plenty of room and you two are friends." I say and smile at them. Raw gulps and nods. Lavender eyes smiles and her eyes seemed so bright as if they were stars. No wonder father had fallen in love with her.

Dinner ended soon and everyone went to their rooms. Well everyone but I. I was on the balcony where the evil witch had been destroyed. She was leaning against the railing her arms folded across it. Soon she would go to see Tutor again and take her finale lessons for the night before she was too exhausted to do anything else. Still even with all the weird changes this place felt more homey then back at the farm.

I was thinking about finding some paper and drawing the landscape in front of her. I was so deep in my thoughts that she didn't hear the footsteps behind her. "DG? DG why are you out here?" Az asks resting her hand on my shoulder.

I turn around to face her. "Nothing just looking out. Everything is already looking better." Fireworks shot into the air. "And everyone's still celebrating. How about we go visit one of them Az?"

Az stops smiling. Not everyone was still happy about her still being alive and most blamed her for everything that happened. Though it wasn't her fought. It was mine and when Az bit her lip I knew she would say no and why. She hasn't left the castle once since the end of it all. I had only gone outside twice as is. "Oh well. Maybe tomorrow. I promise next time we go out I won't wander into any strange caves."

Az laughs. "Good, cause your adventures tend to get me into 'A LOT' of trouble." She says teasingly and emphasizing a lot. "Come on. Tutor is looking for you now."

"It's time for Toto's lessons already?" I ask groaning. Az laughs at my reaction and leads me inside.

She pats my shoulder saying, "It's not that bad. Don't worry. You'll learn it all quickly." She pokes my nose and walks away down the opposite direction of where I had to go.

I walk down the hall swinging my arms by my side and walk to Toto's workroom, where all his books on magic that Az had kept, were in. I walk in and sit down at the desk that was set in there for me to use. Toto walks in carrying a thick book. "Look what I managed to find undamaged. It's the history of the O.Z."

"Oh yay." I say and wave my arm around lazily in a circle. It was high-school all over again. I groan as he opens it and starts reading from page one. I could already tell that this was going to take awhile.

Hope you enjoyed it. Please leave a review and tell me how I might improve .

Helpful suggestions are welcomed. If you're just trying to insult me then we have an issue.

Next chapter may be out soon. Bye.
