I actually wrote an Oz the Great and Powerful story. Does anyone even care about Oz the Great and Powerful anymore? This movie came out like 3 years ago. Well I still enjoy it and I still totally ship Oz and Glinda. I watched the movie recently and as we all know Oz has a thing with Annie before coming to OZ so I figured why not explore that a bit.

Hope you like it. Remember to leave a review'

Chapter 1:

Back to Kansas

The land of OZ was sparkling under the light of the sun one beautiful afternoon. The Emerald City was busy, the birds and butterflies flew through the sky, and the wicked witches were defeated...for now.

Oscar had defeated the witches over a month ago. Ever since he'd been living in OZ as their wizard and king. He loved life here. OZ was absolutely beautiful and he lived in an amazing palace with all the riches he ever could have desired with people waiting on him hand and foot.

Those things would have been most important to him a month ago. If someone would have asked him why he would want to be king he would have said for the vault of endless gold in the basement of the Emerald City palace. He was a changed man now. What was most important to him now was helping people. He'd found what he was truly in this life to do and that was much more satisfying than all of the riches in the world.

He was the king of OZ and more importantly he had the love of his life Glinda. He could never ask for anything more than this beautiful woman by his side.

This particular afternoon the two of them were walking down the yellow brick road together hand in hand. "Do you ever miss Kansas?" she asked curiously.

He shrugged. He hadn't really thought much about it to be honest. "I had a few close friends there, but they all probably think I'm dead. I don't know, I feel like I have a better life here."

"It's destiny that you're here."

"I think so too," he said looking down at her. She was his destiny.

"I still want to see it though."

"Really?"

"Yeah," she said excitedly. "You know the ins and outs of my world. But I've never seen where you come from."

"Can you take us there?"

"I can try. I've never tried to leave OZ before."

He'd come to OZ unintentionally through a tornado and he still had no idea how it happened. "Will we have to conjure up a tornado and ride it there?"

She laughed. "No silly."

She held up her wand and concentrated. A moment later they disappeared and seemed to be floating through oblivion until they ended up exactly where Oz had been when his hot air balloon had been in the tornado. The only difference now was the carnival was gone.

Before he could say anything else he saw Glinda collapse next to him and he quickly reached out and caught her. "Glinda, are you okay?" he asked worriedly.

She nodded although she felt very weak and dizzy. "I'm fine." She tried to stand but ended up leaning into him.

"What's wrong?" He was starting to panic now. He never should have suggested she bring them here.

"I didn't realize how difficult it would be to get here."

"Come sit down." He led her over to a bench on the side of the road and they sat there for a few minutes. "Are you sure you're okay?"

She nodded. "Don't worry. I'm fine." She looked around at the empty land surprised. It was much less exciting and colorful than she thought it would be. "This is Kansas."

"Yeah. The carnival I was in used to be right here," he said. "Can you stand?"

She nodded. "Yeah," she said standing up.

"Good. I'll take you into town." They went into the city. As they walked Kansas, and just his world in general, seemed ridiculously plain compared to OZ. He'd been in Oz for a month and a half and he wondered how he ever dealt with living here.

Glinda however was fascinated. She looked back and forth at the buildings and shops and people in carriages going up and down the road. It was different than OZ. More subtle but quaint.

"Oz?! Is that you?"

He saw his former magic assistant Frank who was standing in front of a coffee shop.

"Yeah, it's me," Oz said. He came towards him and the two gave each other a hug.

"Where have you been? I thought you were dead!" Frank exclaimed.

"Let's go inside and talk," Oz said gesturing to the coffee shop they were in front of. He doubted James would believe him about OZ, who would anyway? People once refused to believe the earth revolved around the sun, how would anyone believe him about the magical land of Oz?

They went inside, sat at a table, and ordered coffee.

"This is Glinda," Oz said afterwards.

"Frank," Frank said shaking her hand.

"Nice to meet you," Glinda said. "You're one of Oz's friends?"

"Yeah...well we worked together," Franks said not making eye contact with Oscar as he remembered what had passed between them before he had disappeared. They weren't friends, Oscar didn't need friends. "Are you um, Oz's girlfriend?"

"Yes," she replied.

The waitress brought them their coffee.

"So where have you been?" Frank asked Oscar. "How did you get out of the tornado?"

"Well, don't think I'm insane for this because it's all true," Oz said. He wondered how he was supposed to tell this story but then he just decided to go for it. "After the tornado I landed in this place called OZ."

James raised his eyebrows.

"Hold on, let me finish. I met this girl who told me that I was a wizard and I was going to be the king of OZ and all I had to do was kill the evil witch. Turns out she and her sister were the evil witches and Glinda here is the good witch. All of the people thought I was a wizard so I stopped the witches from killing everyone. Now I'm the king and I've been living in luxury in the palace in the Emerald City."

James blinked for a moment. "I think you hit your head on something."

Oscar sighed. "I knew you wouldn't believe me."

"You're telling me there's this magical world named after you and you're just automatically a rich wizard?"

"Yes."

"Oz…"

"It is true," Glinda said.

"And you're the good witch?"

"Yes."

"Prove it."

She took out her wand and picked up the waiter across the room and made him float over behind the bar.

James stared at them in disbelief. "Oh my god..."

"So what have you been doing?" Oz asked casually as if he didn't just tell James a story about a magical world and Glinda didn't just do magic with a magic wand.

James collected his thoughts. "I…I've been working at the bar down the street. It pays pretty well."

"Has Annie gotten married yet?"

"She broke off the engagement."

Oz was surprised to hear that. "Why?"

"She wanted to go back to you and after the tornado she hoped you would somehow come back for a while. Seems like you're already in a pretty committed relationship right now though." Frank looked at his watch. "Hey, I'd hate to leave you alone but I have to be to work soon. Are you going to go back?"

"Yeah, we'll be going back at the end of the day," Oz said.

"Oh. Are you staying there for good? I mean, you'll come back and visit, right?"

Oz looked at Glinda since she had gotten them there. "I'll try to bring us here," she said. "It's very hard to travel between our worlds. I don't think I can do it very often."

"Well, I'll most likely be around if you ever decide to come back and visit."

"Alright. See you whenever I see you again Frank," Oz said. Then he realized something. "Hey Frank!" he called to him before he could leave. "About everything I said to you before the tornado...I'm sorry. You're one of the best friends I've ever had."

Frank was surprised to hear him say that. He'd never heard Oscar apologize for anything a day in his life. But something had changed about Oscar since the last time he'd seen him. He definitely wasn't the same person. "It's okay," Frank said with a smile. "You're my best friend too." With that, Frank had to leave.

"Frank seems like a very nice guy," Glinda said.

"Yeah, he is. I treated him like shit when we worked on the magic show together. I just hope he can forgive me," Oscar said.

Glinda hugged him. "I'm sure he can forgive you. You're a wonderful man."

They walked some more and saw some more things. Glinda asked him questions about where he lived and his family and friends. They arrived at a candy shop and Oscar bought her whatever she wanted.

"This is delicious!" she exclaimed.

He laughed. "I still think OZ candy is better."

She giggled. Then she remembered something. "Who is Annie?"

"Hmm?" he said surprised she'd ask.

"You were talking about her with Frank. Who is she? Did you love her?"

"I did love her," Oscar said hesitantly. "She didn't love me though. She left me to marry another man."

"I'm sorry to hear that," Glinda said.

He wrapped his arms around her. "Don't be sorry. She looked like you, but she wasn't you. I love you more than I ever loved Annie."

With that Glinda gave him a very passionate kiss.

Afterwards Glinda wanted to order something to eat to see if their food was the same as in her world. Then they left the shop and as they walked down the street they passed a stand where a man was selling pearl necklaces.

"Would you like to buy one ma'am?" he asked her.

She looked over them. "They are very beautiful. How much?"

"$30," he replied.

Dollars? "I don't have dollars," she said. She pulled out her gold. "But I do have this."

The man looked stunned at all of the gold she had. "Is this real gold ma'am?"

"The finest in the land."

"Well, just give me 30 of these."

She handed over the money not realizing that she was seriously over paying. "Thank you," she said putting on the necklace.

While she was buying her necklace Oz heard someone call his name. He looked over and saw Annie. He went towards her and before he could say anything she hugged him. "Oscar!" she exclaimed. "You're okay! I was so worried about you after the tornado…Frank said you were dead but I didn't believe it…"

He put his hands on her shoulders. "Don't worry about me Annie. I'm fine."

"But where have you been?" she asked.

"Don't worry about it," he said not wanting to have to try and convince her that OZ was real. "I heard you broke off the engagement."

"I did," she said nodding. "I thought I loved him but I realized I love you more. I was wrong for what I did to you. If you can ever forgive me."

"I do. Don't worry."

"Good," she said with a sigh of relief. "I'm so glad you're here. Now we can be together again. Just like the way things used to be…"

Before she could finish Glinda came over. "Look at the necklace I bought darling," she said.

"It looks beautiful on you," he said putting his arm around her waist.

Annie was surprised. "Darling…?"

"Annie, this is Glinda. Glinda, Annie," Oz said introducing them.

Glinda was a bit surprised as well. She didn't realize that this was Annie. Now that she looked closer they did kind of look alike, same blonde hair and same figure. She shook her hand nicely anyway. "Nice to meet you Annie."

"You too Glinda," Annie said still slightly dazed by the fact that Oz was in a relationship. "How long have you two been together?"

"About a month and a half now," Glinda replied.

"I thought you would still love me Oscar," Annie said. Her sadness was obvious.

"I'm sorry Annie," Oz said. "You should go call up that guy and tell him you love him. You deserve a good man in your life."

"Yeah…well, I guess I'll see you around."

"Maybe you'll see me again someday," he said not making any promises that he would come back.

"Bye."

"Annie seems like a nice girl," Glinda said as they continued down the road.

"I thought so too until she left me," Oz said.

"Well she did seem to regret it a lot." She put her hand in his. "But things happen for a reason right?"

He kissed her. "You're right dear."

The sun was starting to set.

"We should probably head home before it gets dark," Oscar said.

Glinda waved her wand again and they arrived on the yellow brick road where they had been walking that morning. Once again Glinda had used a lot of magic to get them back and she felt weak again.

Oscar picked her up and started to carry her back to the Emerald City palace. "I need to lay you down and take care of you Glinda."

"Can you make me ice cream?" she said tiredly.

He laughed. "I'll get you all the ice cream you want."
