Welcome back! I apologize if I don't have every single line and have them exactly correct and there will be a few things that are abridged, but I hope you enjoy the read nonetheless. Also, I figured out who the Wizard will be, and I took robomon's tip and I won't be revealing the Wizard until the end.
I. Own. Nothing. Just thought I'd make that clear.
Maya was awoken by Missile's pink tongue licking her cheek. She looked up and saw that a large portion of the roof had collapsed, the sun shining right through the large gap. Luckily, her knee had felt better despite the large scrape and exited the shed with Missile trailing behind.
"I hope everyone else is okay," she said opening the door.
But she was not greeted by the streets of California; it was a huge garden filled with strange, yet beautiful flowers that she certainly never saw before. The air was filled with a sweet scent; partly the flowers, but it also smelled like what a sweet shop would smell like. The clear blue sky was painted with a colorful rainbow.
"Wow…" Maya gasped, "Missile, I don't think we're in California anymore."
Suddenly, a pink bubble floated toward her, big enough to fit a person. In fact, a human's silhouette was visible. Then, a woman stepped out and the bubble disappeared. After taking a second look, Maya realized that this was Mia. This time, though, she wasn't wearing what she always wore in the courtroom; this time it was a pink gown and she was holding a staff. The Magatama, however, remained.
"M-Mia?" Maya said at loss for words. Mia nodded with a smile. "W-where am I?"
"Why, you're in Munchkin Land. And they thank you for freeing them."
"Munchkin Land? But where is everyone? And what did I do to free them?"
"Don't worry; they're watching us as we speak. And if you want to know how you saved them, look under the shed."
Maya walked over to the old shed and was quite shocked at what she found: A pair of black and white stocking covered legs with a pair of sparkling red shoes on the feet. Next to the legs was a pink parasol that might have once been pretty, but was now torn.
"Oh my-" Maya said.
"Yes," Mia said, "that old witch whose temper was as fiery as her hair treated those poor munchkins terribly. Now, you're the witch that saved them."
"What? But I can't be a witch, witches are old and ugly." A soft chorus of giggles was heard. "What was that?"
"The munchkins. They're laughing because I'm a witch."
"Oh! Well, excuse me, but it's just that I've never seen a beautiful witch before."
"Only bad witches are ugly. What is your name, dear?"
"Maya." Missile, who was right by her side, barked. "Oh! And this is Missile. We both came from California; that's where we live"
"Everyone," Mia sang,
"Come out, come out wherever you are
And meet the young lady who fell from a star
She fell from the sky, she fell very far
And California she says is the name of the star."
California she says is the nameof the star, a chorus repeated. Soon, little people no bigger than Pearl emerged from the many objects in the area. They were wearing what looked like little doll clothes that Pearl would dress her dolls in. Then they began to sing again.
Ding, dong! The witch is dead!
Which old witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding, dong! The Wicked Witch is dead!
Wake up you sleepyhead
Rub your eyes, get out of bed
Wake up the wicked witch is dead
She's gone where the goblins go,
Below - Below - Below
Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong's the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead!
Maya joined in the celebration and danced and sang along. The Mayor had even officially declared her a hero and gave her a key to the city. It was all good fun. Until, that is, there was a sudden explosion of black smoke. The smoke cleared, and a woman's identity was revealed.
"Franziska?" Maya asked confused.
"Don't try to be friendly with me, fool!" she screamed. Yes, this was Franziska… with green skin and a black dress and matching witch hat and a broom in hand.
"Mia," Maya said, "I thought you said the witch was dead."
"Oh no," Mia said shaking her head, "that was the Wicked Witch of the East; this is the Wicked Witch of the West and she's far more mean than her sister."
"Augh!" Franziska screamed, "who turned my sister into a shed?"
"She's not the shed," Mia said, "she's under the shed." When Franziska saw the legs stretched under the shed she screamed again.
"Who did this?"
"Um…" Maya said shaking, "it was me."
"What? Why you little fool! Once I claim those ruby slippers, I'll release my power!" But as Franziska bent down to pick the shoes up, they disappeared in a flash. "What is this? Where are my shoes?"
"Oh, but they aren't your shoes," Mia said, "look." Maya looked down and saw that her flip flops were replaced with the beautiful ruby slippers that were on the Wicked Witch of the East's feet.
"That fool does not understand the power those shoes have!" Franziska bent down and tried to magically remove the shoes, but to no avail.
"It seems you've forgotten that your powers are useless here," Mia said.
"Gr… Fine," Franziska said, "But just wait; I'll get you, my pretty! And your little dog too!" with the same explosion of black smoke, the Witch disappeared.
"Oh dear, that smell of sulfer," Mia said waving her hand in front of her face, "now, Maya, is there anything else we can do for you?"
"Actually," Maya said, "I want to know how to get home to my friends."
"Why, you ride your broom of course."
"But I don't have a broom."
"Oh. Well, in that case I suggest seeing the Wizard of Oz in the Emerald City."
"The Emerald City? How do I get there?"
"Just follow the yellow brick road." A pink bubble encircled Mia. Before disappearing, she added "And whatever you do, don't let those ruby slippers ever leave your feet." As Mia floated away, Maya watched while the munchkins waved and said "good-bye, Mia." Maya looked down at the two paths that were spiraled together. One was pink and the other was yellow.
"Follow the yellow brick road," Maya said.
"Follow the yellow brick road," a munchkin repeated.
"Follow the yellow brick road," a few more said. Soon all the muncnkins began to sing as Maya skipped her way along the yellow path.
Follow the Yellow Brick Road. Follow the Yellow Brick Road.
Follow, follow, follow, follow,
Follow the rainbow over the stream, follow the fella who follows a dream, follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the yellow brick road.
You're off to see the Wizard, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
You'll find he is a whiz of a Wiz! If ever a Wiz! there was.
If ever oh ever a Wiz! there was The Wizard of Oz is one because,
Because, because, because, because, because.
Because of the wonderful things he does.
You're off to see the Wizard. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!
Well, what did you think? Sorry that I don't have every song lyric, but I didn't want there too be a bunch of lines with songs that you probably already know. Maybe sometime later I'll put the rest in. Anyway, reviews are more than welcome as always.
