There he stood, holding up a fez.
"You have no idea how much I wish you didn't take my gun from me when we got on the TARDIS," River Song grumbled. Amy laughed, obviously agreeing with the other woman's sentiment. The Doctor hugged his fez protectively.
"You wouldn't," he said, stroking his fez before placing it on top of his messy brown hair.
"I have," River retorted. The Doctor stuck his tongue out in a rather immature fashion. River responded only by winking in such a way that made the Doctor pull his tongue back into his mouth and blush, turning to fiddle with the console.
"Uh, where are we going again?" Rory asked. The Doctor whirled around and went to a screen on top of the console.
"Greenland! No, no, though it is green… a recreation of the Emerald City on Earth, 27th century. Creative bloke, whoever thought of it. Much smarter than the idiot who named Greenland. Did he honestly think people would fall for that trick? Well, having talked to him, he was rather dense… wait, was that him or the president from the 23rd century?" the Doctor babbled on. At this point, the TARDIS had already landed and Amy headed for the door, grabbing Rory's hand and dragging him with her.
"Come on, sweetie," River said. She didn't grab the Doctor's hand, but she did give him a look that sufficed in pulling him out of his time machine. Outside, it was most definitely green.
"Wow," Amy said, pointing at tall libraries and palaces, all in shades of green. Multi-colored horses pulled green carriages and people all moved around the city, looking just like a scene out of the Wizard of Oz. The four of them started moving forward, walking the streets.
"Look there! That must be where the Wizard supposedly is!" Amy pointed now to a tall palace in front of an open square where many people congregated. The Doctor, Amy, and River all started to make their way to the palace when they noticed that Rory wasn't following them. He was frozen still, staring at a munchkin.
"M-munchkin," he stuttered.
"Yes! Aren't they fascinating? Humans, they created a race of monkeys that look like little human munchkins, but stupider!" the Doctor explained with a grin. But Rory didn't move.
"What's wrong with him?" River asked.
"Oh, I forgot!" Amy shouted, hitting herself in the head. She dropped her voice down to a whisper when she spoke again. "Rory's always had a fear of munchkins. He can barely make it through the Wizard of Oz movie without crying. He has nightmares." River stifled a laugh and the Doctor snorted right out loud.
"Come along, Rory Pond! If you stare at them for too long, they start following you!" the Doctor exclaimed gleefully. Rory turned around in terror and ran into the nearest building- a library.
"That was mean," Amy said, though she smiled as the three followed Rory into the library. Inside, they found it was huge and filled to the ceiling with books. Amy and River went off to find Rory, who was standing in the corner hiding from munchkins. They brought him back out to the front, where they found the Doctor reading to a small group of children. He was reading a fairytale picture book, one about the Wizard of Oz.
"And the Wicked Witch was melted by the brave lion, the smart scarecrow, and the caring tin man. When they returned to the Wizard-" the Doctor turned the page to a picture of Dorothy, the Lion, the Tin man, and the Scarecrow standing in front of a throne with a man on it- the Wizard.
"He told them how well they'd done, and congratulated them for saving the day." The Doctor continued.
"Hang on," Rory whispered. "Isn't that-" he started to ask, but River finished his sentence for him.
"The Doctor?" she said. The three looked closer and saw that indeed, on top of the throne was a man in a blue suit with brown hair and glasses.
"That's him before he looked like he does now!" Amy hissed. River nodded, rolling her eyes.
"He is always the hero of the story. I hate him sometimes," River said, sounding exasperated.
"No you don't," the Doctor said, coming up behind them, having finished the story while they were talking about him.
"Of course not, sweetie. Now, are we going to the palace or not?" River placated him.
"Oh, yes! They have a statue of me there!" the Doctor said with delight, bouncing up and down. "Let's go!"
