Alright, so we all know this had to happen, right? This is still a story of Oz The Great and Powerful. A lot had to have happened behind the scenes of the Wizard of OZ. And now i'm going to tell you exactly what happened. Or at least what I think happened.

The Wizard of OZ (Behind the Scenes)

The Witch is Dead!

Oscar Diggs was sitting in the throne room of the Emerald City palace eating a box of chocolates a munchkin had gotten him that morning. He popped one into his mouth. "Mmm, this one's minty."

"Can I have one?" Finley asked. He flew over and sat on top of the gold and emerald throne.

Oz wanted it all for himself but he reluctantly handed over a piece of candy to the winged monkey above him. Before he could eat another one, the intercom turned on.

"Mr. Wizard, someone is here to see you. She has a 12:00 appointment," said the secretary at the front of the palace.

Oz sighed. "Give me 5 minutes." He put the chocolate in a drawer and threw away the wrapper then he went behind the curtain with Finley. "Bring them in," Oz said back to the secretary in the intercom. He turned the smoke machine on and the image of the wizard was projected in the smoke and lights. A young munchkin girl came in looking nervous. "So what can the Great and Powerful Oz do for you?"

"Well Mr. Wizard, sir, I actually just wanted some advice," she said kind of nervously

He raised his eyebrows but accepted it. He was used to giving advice. Sometimes it seemed like he was OZ's personal therapist. People always came in asking for him to listen to their problems and give them advice. "Alright then, what kind of advice?"

"Well, you see I like this boy but my best friend likes him too…"

Oz resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He liked the job of being the wizard and he appreciated the people of Oz as well. He felt like he was doing something right and worthwhile with his life like he'd always wanted and never could have gotten back in Kansas. But sometimes it really got to be a drag with the things people came to him for and sometimes he just wanted to kick back and relax and not have to worry about anyone's needs but his own.

"So what should I do?" she asked when she finished her story.

"What I suggest is that you talk to this guy. Find out how he really feels and if he goes for your best friend then there's no way you can change what he wants. If it's meant to be, you'll be together, if not then he wasn't worth your time to begin with and you'll find someone better."

"Thank you Mr. wizard." She left the room.

Oz, Tinker, and Finley came from behind the curtain.

"You certainly give good advice," Tinker said.

Oz resumed his place on the throne with his chocolates. "Yeah, well, it's just common sense."

There was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" he said.

"Glinda."

He sat up. "Come in." The door opened and the beautiful witch came into the room. He stood up and came over to her. "Where have you been all day?" he said placing a gentle kiss on her lips.

"Taking care of some business. And I have some news for you."

"Which is?"

"Evanora is dead," she said.

"Seriously?" Finley said flying over. "How?"

She took Oz's hand. "Come walk with me and I'll tell you."

They walked throughout the castle and once they left the throne room, a little girl made of China caught up with them. "Hello Glinda."

"Hello China," Glinda said.

"So what happened?" Oz asked impatient to hear the news.

"Well," Glinda began. "This afternoon Evanora had been in a town down south terrorizing the people and I had been on my way to stop her. I was right outside of the city when I saw a house fall out of the sky…"

"A house?" Oz said for a moment not sure if he had heard correctly. "That's weird."

"Well that house fell on Evanora and crushed her."

"It was that easy this whole time?!" Oz exclaimed in disbelief. "After all we've had to deal with for over 15 years, all we had to do was drop a freaking house on her?!"

Glinda couldn't help but giggle.

"Was anyone in the house?" China asked.

"Yes, there was a girl named Dorothy and her dog Toto. They're from Kansas, Oz. They got stuck in a tornado and now they're stranded. So I told them to come here."

"Why did you tell them that? You know I can't send them home," Oz said as they stopped near one of the big windows overlooking OZ.

"I know that darling. But I can."

He elbowed her. "You never offered to send me home," he said jokingly.

She smiled and rolled her eyes. "I didn't offer because we needed you back then. And because you loved me. Do you really want to leave Oz?"

He kissed her cheek. "Of course not dear. When should I be expecting this girl…what did you say her name was?"

"Dorothy Gale," Glinda replied.

"Gale?" Oz said pausing for a moment. John Gale was the man Annie had been going to marry so many years ago. Maybe there were many people with the name Gale, but was there really a chance that this girl could be Annie's daughter?

She put her hand on his. "Oscar? Are you okay?" She faintly remembered the name of the man Annie had been going to marry. Was he really thinking about her now of all times? She'd always known deep down inside that Oscar had never forgotten Annie, no matter how much they two of them went through.

"Yeah," he said snapping out of it. This was no time to be thinking about Annie. This was serious. "When is she going to be here?"

"Ideally a couple of days, but as you can imagine Theodora isn't happy about the death of her sister and will stop at nothing to destroy her."

"The poor girl doesn't stand a chance," Finley said.

"Which is why I'll be watching over her the whole time. I can't leave this child out there completely alone to face Theodora. And there's another problem."

"How many more problems can there be?" Oscar said.

"She's wearing Evanora's ruby slippers."

Oscar nearly fell down the stairs. Glinda had created enchanted her shoes so many years ago for fun to make them do crazy things like walk by themselves and jump around the castle. Evanora had stolen them and used them to turn back into her beautiful self after Glinda had destroyed her necklace and revealed her true ugly form. Evanora had been using the magic ever since and Glinda had never been able to take them back. Now this Dorothy girl was wearing those shoes which were enchanted and now tainted with dark magic.

"You didn't tell her to take them off?!" he exclaimed.

"She couldn't! They wouldn't come off. Hopefully nothing bad comes out of this. But I'll be watching over her and I'll protect her."

"Alright," Oz said. He squeezed her hand. "You just be careful."

She kissed him. "Don't worry about me. You just wait for her to arrive."


The shoes weren't in the Oz the Great and Powerful movie. I think they were made afterwards somehow. I might write a separate story about it.

This was all a plan set up from the beginning...or most of it was. Read on to find out how Oz screws it all up!
