Disclaimer: I own nothing. I ship S/D, if that bothers you, don't read.
Notes: based on the following lyrics that were cut out of the Scarecrow's song:
Gosh, it would be awful pleasin'
To reason out the reason
For things I can't explain.
Then perhaps I'll deserve you,
And be even worthy of you
If I only had a brain.
And the image of the Scarecrow and Dorothy when she is saying good bye.
Dorothy said goodbye to each of us in turn. I could tell she was trying not to cry. She stood before me now, and fumbled for words before finally admitting that she would miss me the most and kissing my cheek. With a nod to Glinda, Dorothy spoke the incantation and was gone.
In the days that passed, I used my brain in all the ways that I had ever hoped for, plus some. But there was something wrong about it all.
What good was it if it couldn't make me worthy of her? What good was it if I was here and Dorothy was back in Kansas, unaware of my feelings for her? Kicking the soil as I walked along, I sighed, missing her more than anything. I'd even give up my newly acquired brain in the hopes of seeing her just one more time, just to let her know. I'd give up ruling over Oz, just for that chance. Knowing that I was just fooling myself, I headed back, realizing that I was heading back to my old field without realizing. I guess I still felt like I belonged there, back where she first found me and where I first found the hope that I never had. Looking up to the pole that still stood, I hung my head, wiping a tear that was falling, knowing that life would never be the same again, and finding myself wanting something again, but this thing I wanted more than I ever wanted my brain, "If I only had you."
