The Wizard of Moo

Disclaimer: I do not own any Klonoa characters or the Wizard of Oz storyline.

This is just a random parody I thought up while I was bored. Be warned, this is completely OOC.

Chapter 1: Somewhere New

"Popka!"

"Nyeh!"

"You freaky little dog! I'll take you to the pound for that!"

"I'm not a freaky little dog!"

"What's going on here?"

A small crowd stood semi-circling four characters. One was a dark skinned woman, holding her arms and staring irritably at two people in front of her. They were a girl and an odd looking dog-like creature.

"Sheriff Suiryu, I demand that wild animal be taken away!" the dark skinned woman ordered to a blue dragon-like man. "Why's that?" the sheriff asked. "It bit me!"

"I'm not an 'it!'" The dog, Popka, growled. Lolo, the girl, held him to her chest. "Popka!"

Suiryu looked at them. "Is this true?" He asked. "Well…" Lolo hesitated. "Yeah, it's true. So what? She deserved it! She kicked me!" Popka admitted.

"That's because you were staring at me with that ugly, freaky little face of yours!" Leorina, the dark skinned woman, shot back. Popka writhed out of Lolo's grasp. "That's it!"

He tackled Leorina, though, being less than half her size, didn't knock her over. Suiryu grabbed Popka's scruff and came between the two. "You see?! That thing's wild!" Leorina yelled. "Maybe you're right," Suiryu began, considering this.

"What? No! Popka's not wild!" Lolo protested, though she didn't seem convincing as Popka tried to swipe his claws at Suiryu's face. "Leggo!!"

"All right, I'm just gonna have to do something with you, then," Suiryu decided. "But Popka's not wild!" But Lolo's calls weren't heard. The crowd began to break apart and the sheriff was stomping off with the struggling Popka. "Should've put that thing on a leash," Leorina sneered, and she, too, left.

Lolo felt her eyes grow teary. She spun around and ran off.

At a farm were three furry boys. Currently, they were leaning or sitting on piles of hay. They watched silently as Lolo ran past them and into the nearby house, sobbing.

"Lolo's back."

"Sounds like Popka got in trouble again."

"Seems worse this time."

"Maybe one of us should go in there and comfort her."

They looked at each other.

"We're not getting paid to be parents."

"We're barely being paid at all."

They sighed.

"He'll get out on his own, anyway."

"Like last time."

"I need a soda."

"This is supposed to be based off of a movie that came out in the yearly 1900's. There was no soda back then."

"Was there? Well, the author doesn't know that."

"I guess you're right."

With that, the three boys gulped down refreshing coca-cola.

Lolo sat on her bed, head in her knees. "Poor Popka…" She mumbled softly. "I never liked being pitied." Lolo looked up quickly to see Popka perched on her windowsill like a bird.

"Popka!" Lolo yelled delightfully. Popka jumped to her bed. "How'd you get out?"

"I dug a hole in that cellar weeks ago! I'm surprised that old sheriff hasn't seen it yet," Popka grinned with a touch of pride. "Oh… I guess that explains why so many criminals have been escaping lately," Lolo said. "Oops. Oh well. That mean 'ol Leorina will never keep me locked up!"

"Leorina… she'll be back to get you again," Lolo sighed. "Maybe we should leave." She looked up at Popka's sudden suggestion. "Leave?"

"Yeah. I'm kinda tired of this place, anyway. Nothing new happens anymore," Popka said. "I don't know… I've never left Lunatea before. If only we could go… somewhere over the rainbow," Lolo replied dreamily.

"There's nothing over the rainbow but a pot 'o gold… which doesn't sound too bad right about now… B-But, no…!" Popka paused, trying to remember the topic again. "We don't have to leave Lunatea, just this town. Let's go to… I know! Joilant!" He jumped. Lolo laughed a little. "Of course you'd want to go there… I guess so…"

"Awright, then! Let's go!" Popka prompted, jumping to the windowsill again. "Oh! But I haven't packed my things!"

The two set out as quickly as they could. They snuck past the three boys, who were still doing nothing meaningful, silently. They made it to Joilant by nightfall.

"It's getting kinda windy," Lolo remarked, holding her arms. "Let's go in there," Popka suggested, pointing to a small building.

The door was unlocked and the two let themselves in.

"Hello there!!"

"Gwak!"

Popka jumped into Lolo's arms as a large man showed himself. "My name's Pango, the fortune teller. Are you here to seek your future?" The man asked, smiling. "Um…" Lolo looked at Popka, who was sliding down to the floor. "No way!" He barked. "Oh?"

"Um… I just ran away from home… We wanted a place to get away from the wind," Lolo stammered. Pango frowned. "Ran away, huh? Well, you're welcomed here. Why don't I tell you your fortune while you're here?" He asked, sitting down at the large, round table.

"B-But… I don't have any money," Lolo replied. "Oh, that's fine. This one's on me," Pango smiled. "Good, 'cause fortune tellers are full 'o baloney," Popka remarked thoughtlessly. "Popka!" Lolo scowled.

"Please, sit down," Pango offered. "Um, thank you," Lolo replied sheepishly, taking a seat. Pango raised his large arms over a crystal ball, humming slightly, eyes closed.

"Baloney," Popka whistled quietly. Lolo shushed him.

"I see… a mother…?" Pango looked at Lolo with one eye. "I don't have a mother," Lolo said simply. "Well, she looks like a mother," Pango corrected quickly.

"That must be my aunt, then," Lolo said. She rubbed her arm when Popka roughly poked her, as if she had done something wrong. "Yes! Your aunt… she is… very sick," Pango said slowly. "Sick?! But she was fine this morning!" Lolo exclaimed.

"You should go to her right away," Pango suggested. "Baloney! You only want us to go home!" Popka barked. "My aunt is sick! We've gotta go!" Lolo jumped to her feet, grabbed Popka, and ran outside.

Pango sat there silently. He then leaned back, his arms behind his head, sighing. "Almost got caught there for a moment. Kids these days…"

"Lolo! Slow down!" Popka yelled over the loud winds. Lolo wasn't listening as she ran down the road as fast as she could. The wind was blowing with her, helping her run faster. Popka was having a wild time flying in the sky.

"It feels like a twister!"

"We've gotta get home!"

Faster than she had expected, Lolo saw her house. She ran inside, not noticing that the boys were gone and no one had been around. She searched her house. "No one's here!"

"Ya don't think this really is a twister, right?" Popka asked a bit nervously. Before Lolo could reply, her house suddenly shook wildly. She and Popka were flung to the side, immediately knocked out.

Lolo felt warm wind blowing her hair back what seemed like soon after. She opened her eyes and slowly stood up, stumbling slightly as the house rocked like a boat.

Popka was already up, staring out the window. "Er, Lolo, you might wanna look at this," he said. Lolo carefully made her way to him and grasped the windowsill. She gasped.

The house seemed to be in the sky. About 40 feet below them was the ground. How the old house was staying in one piece, Lolo didn't want to question.

Something large flew by, carried by the wind. "Moooo!"

"Was that a giant Moo?!" Popka exclaimed incredulously. "Is that Leorina?!!" Lolo yelled louder. She was there, and then she suddenly changed. Her skin color turned dark green and a broom stick appeared from under her. She laughed maniacally as she flew off.

"That was weird…" was all Popka could say. Suddenly, the house rocked and then was still. Lolo and Popka could feel gravity going against them as the house began to fall.

"Mayday! Mayday! We're going down!" Popka yelled, practically on the ceiling by now.

When the house finally smashed to the ground, Lolo and Popka were thrown down, as well. "Okay… I guess I got what was coming to me when I said nothing new happens around here," Popka grunted. Lolo slowly stood up and looked out the window.

"Popka… I don't think we're in Lunatea anymore."

Hrrm... still bored... I'm gonna go do something else boring now... then I'll start on the second chapter...
