Disclaimer: I only own Julia

Note: I hope you guys enjoy this it's an idea that has been stuck in my head for a long time now


"Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore" My TV bellows as I watch my favorite movie. It has been my favorite movie since childhood.

My name is Julia Rose Gale everyone simply calls me Julie. I'm a senior in Kansas Preparatory High School and I am even the lead in our school musical: The Wizard of Oz, which is obviously my favorite move/ musical in the world.

I've seen everything ever having to do with the Wizard of Oz. For example, The Wiz, Wicked, and even the new Oz Great and Powerful movie, all of which I loved.

I never imagined that I would admire a character from a movie as much as I admire Dorothy. I've been her for Halloween for 5 years in a row. The fact that I get to be her in our musical is the greatest feeling in the world. I can only hope that I can do Judy Garland justice.

The Wicked Witch of the West's cackling on the TV breaks my train of thought making me jump. I hear the wind whistling and look out my window to see a big tornado heading my way fast. I start to panic and it doesn't help that I'm home alone because my parents and the closest neighbors I have are a mile away. We don't have a storm well or a basement. Then the power goes off and I run under the staircase and pray that the tornado will miss my house.

Something hits my head and I black out.

I wake up to the sound of a thud. I look at the floor to see that the house is starting to flood. I run out the door only to see that I'm in the middle of the lake and that a man is getting out of a hot air balloon.

The man is incredibly handsome. He resembles James Franco almost to a T. The only difference is he is wearing an outfit that resembles a something from the 1900s. I see that he falls over and starts floundering around "Help!" he screams, " I can't swim!" I walk over to him and when he notices that I'm standing he stops moving around and realizes he's in shallow water. I hold out my hand to help him up. He takes my hand slightly embarrassed that he had reacted the way he did. "Thanks," he says, "Who are you? And Where am I? Am I dead?"

I look at the man, "I'm Julia Rose Gale but everyone calls me Julie and I'm not sure where we are," and I take two fingers and put it on his neck, "You're not dead either. May I ask who you are" I smile. I look at him and I can't get over how much he looks likes James Franco in Oz the great and powerful but I think it's just a coincidence.

The James Franco look-a-like smiles at me, grabs my hand and kisses the top of it giving me butterflies in my stomach. "The name is Oscar Diggs but everyone calls me Oz."

I mentally gasp when we both hear someone actually gasping behind the bushes, causing both of us to step out of the water and toward the noise.
