Hello... I'm back... from where, I don't think I was gone... so... ya...
This is something I've been working on for a while, now. It's a cross between One Piece and Wizard of Oz. Now my version of Wizard of Oz would be more Book than Movie but I might put in the songs if I feel like it. Also I'll use the names from Wicked, too. Seeing as I've read the book twice. Now! ON with the show. (OH... I also put myself in it along with Skie and Chey, I think)!
Chapter One
Ia lived in the midst of trees, cities, and more trees. Michigan. Where cyclones hardly ever happen. So guess what! A cyclone brings her and her tripod of a dog, Marzy, into the sky.
"Like this is happening." Ia said, not panicking. Marzy was laying on the floor, sleeping.
When the house landed, Ia was amazed it didn't collapse.
"Come on, Marz. Let's go." Ia said, as she opened the door with Marzy right behind her.
What she saw was bright flowers and green foliage and tiny houses that only her sister (8) would fit in.
Surrounding her were an assortments of little men and women.
"Oh dear Lord." Ia said.
"You have crushed the Wicked Witch of the East! Miss Nessarose!" one of the little men said. This one looked very important, dressed up in what looked like a uniform.
"What." Ia said as she walked off the porch and tripped on something sticking from under the house. She looked down and screamed. A pair of legs, just under the knees, wearing striped stockings and magnificent silver slippers. "Oh my God... I killed someone!" she started yelling.
"You have saved us from years of toil and horror! For you have killed the Wicked Witch of the East!" they started cheering.
"You're... welcom?" she said, getting up.
Everybody ran up to her and started shaking her hand and petting the dog.
"You have done well." somebody said from behind them. They all turned around and bowed.
"Who are you?" Ia asked, not polite at all.
"I'm the Good Witch of the North! Who might you be, child?" she asked, walking up. She was obviously in her late 60s, with wrinkles and was as bit stout and plump. But her face was kind and loving, like her grandmas'.
"I'm Ia. This is Marzy."
"Thank you, Ia, Marzy! You have slain the Wicked Witch of the East!"
"I've heard," Ia said.
"You have saved all the Munchkins of Munchkinland!" she said.
"What the hell are Munchkins? Not to be rude or anything... but... are you one?"
"No. I am their friend. These are the Munchkins!" she said.
"Hello." Ia said, uncertain.
"HELLO!" they yelled back.
"How do I get home?" she asked.
"Well... the land of Oz, which we are in, is surrounded by vast deserts that you would die before crossing. I'm sorry, you must live with us."
"CRAP!" Ia yelled.
One of the Munchkins, an old one by the long white hair, ran up with her cap. She balanced it on her nose and counted to three while tapping it. Suddenly it turned into a slate that said, LET IA GO TO THE CITY OF EMERALDS.
"City of Emeralds?" Ia asked, reading the slate.
"Yes. Where the great and powerful Wizard of Oz, lives. He might be able to help you?" the old Munchkin lady said.
"Would he?" Ia asked the Good Witch of the North.
"I'm sure. You must walk to the city. It's a long way from here, I'm sorry." the witch said. "I will give you something that will help on your journey. My kiss. If you are kissed by me, you can not be injured." she said as she kissed her genly on the forehead. She left a huge round mark that Ia found later.
"LOOK!" somebody yelled as they heard a pop. Over where the feet were was nothing but the silver slippers.
"She was so old that she dried up in the sun. You may take her shoes that she cherished so dearly. They say that there's a carm in them, but we're not sure." North said.
"Thanks. They're really sweet looking." Ia said as she put them on and put her tennies in her bag that she then filled with food. Cheese Nips, bread, pepperoni, lots of water bottles, and other dry food. She also packed an extra pare of clothes, her big notebook, a few reading books, and her baby blanket and pillow.
"I'm off, you guys!" she said as she put in a bag of dog food.
"BYE BYE!" they all called as she made her way down the yellow brick road.
