EPISODE 2: MUNCHKIN LAND.
Once the house had made that loud crash, Dorothy and Danny were awoken by a shock so sudden severe that if they had not been lying on the bed, they might have been badly hurt. But they knew that loud crash could only mean one thing: The house had landed. But the question was...where? The two children got off of the bed and saw that sunshine was flooding the room.
"Where are we?" Dorothy asked.
"Beats me." Said Danny.
Dorothy and Danny looked around and saw that the farm house was in ruins from the twister incident.
"Oh, the house is in ruins, but, look outside, the storm is over." Said Dorothy.
"Thank goodness." Added Danny.
Dorothy, Danny and Toto ran towards the door.
"Oh, i hope we're on the ground." Said Dorothy before opening the door.
Both of the children let out a gasp of amazement, for they were now in the middle of a tropical Jungle like land of marvelous beauty. Wherever they looked, there were banks of gorgeous flowers. Birds with brilliant blumage sang in tropical trees covered with luscious fruits. The children and Toto walked out of the house as they looked in aw at the beautiful scenery. In the distance, they saw some little round housed all painted blue.
"Dorothy...i don't think we're in Kansas anymore." Said Danny.
"I've never seen anything so beautiful." Said Dorothy.
"Oh, my good, it's incredible." Added Danny.
"I can't believe it." Said Dorothy.
"Do you see what i see?" Danny asked.
"Yeah. And all the houses are so tiny." Said Dorothy.
"It's a small world after all." Said Danny.
"Oh my gosh. What...?" Said Dorothy.
"I can't believe it. I can't believe it." Danny said.
"Danny...Toto...where in America are we?" Dorothy asked.
"We must be over the rainbow." Said Danny
"Aunt Em? Aunt Em, where are you? Aunt Em!" Dorothy called.
"Aunt Em?" Came a young female voice.
"Aunt Em?" Dorothy repeated.
"Aunt Em?" Came the female voice again.
"Who's saying that?" Danny asked.
"Who's saying what?" Asked an 8 year old girl dressed in blue modern cloths as she and a number of other children, from ages 5 through 12, came out of the bushes, revealing themselves to Dorothy, Danny and Toto. All of the other children were also wearing blue modern cloths.
"Who are you?" Dorothy asked.
"I'll be the one asking the questions from here on out." Asked a 12 year old boy as he came out of hiding behind the bushes.
An 11 year old girl walked up to the boy. "From here on in."
"From here in or out." Said the boy. He then turned to Dorothy, Danny and Toto. "This here's a murder investigation."
"Murder?" Dorothy asked.
"Murder." Said a 10 year old girl.
"I don't know anything about a murder." Said Danny.
"That's what they all say." Said a 9 year old boy.
"Is that there your house?" Asked the 12 year old boy.
"It's my aunt Em and uncle Henry's house." Said Dorothy.
"And are those feet sticking out from underneath your aunt Em and uncle Henry's house?" The 12 year old boy asked again as he pointed at the bottom of the house.
"What are you talking about? There aren't any-AHHHHHH!" Danny screamed in terror when he looked where the boy was pointing and saw a pair of legs sticking out from underneath the bottom of the house. And on the feet of those legs were a pair of beautiful, glittery, sparklely, sliver high heel shoes.
"Huh? A pair of shoes. (Gasps) And they have feet in them!" Said Dorothy.
"And is the person attached to them feet dead?" Asked the 12 year old boy.
"How should we know, we're not doctors." Said Danny.
"Ugh! There's a house sitting on top of her. You do the math." Said a 7 year old girl.
"Let the witnesses answer." Said a 6 year old girl.
"Okay, yes." Said Dorothy.
"Well, there you have it. A murder victim...a murder weapon...and two murder suspects. What's the verdict?" Asked the 12 year old boy.
"GUILTY!" The children in blue shouted.
"You heard the findings of this court. You've both been found guilty of murder in the first degree. Brandon! Throw them a party!" Said the 12 year old boy.
All of the children cheered for Dorothy and Danny.
"What? But we don't understand. Who is it? Who's under that house?" Said Danny.
"There's no more is. Thanks to you two, it's a was." Said an 8 year old boy.
All of the children in blue burst into laughter.
"You just killed Hazel, the wicked witch of the East, and we can't thank you enough!" Said a 5 year old girl.
"Thanks to you two, the wicked witch of the East is dead and we are free!" Said a 10 year old boy.
All of the children cheered.
"Free? You're not free! Get over here and get this house off me! Now!" Came female voice from underneath the house. It was Hazel, the wicked witch of the East. She was still alive.
"Oh my goodness, she's alive!" Said Dorothy.
"Quick, we gotta help her." Said Danny before he, Dorothy and Toto rushed over to the house.
"Please, help me up!" Said Hazel.
Once Dorothy, Danny and Toto made it to the house, they started digging under it to try and help get the wicked witch out from under the house.
"Well, Munchkins, we're too late. But no tears." Said the 12 year old Munchkin boy.
"Guys!" Said Danny as he looked back at the Munchkins while Dorothy and Toto were still digging.
"But no tears. She's in a better place." Said the 12 year old boy.
"YEAH!" The Munchkins said.
Just then, Hazel lifted the house off of her a little with her hands and glared at the Munchkins. "I'm gonna put you in a better place! In my oven! You hear me?!" She said.
The Munchkins then began to panic.
"Um...(giggles). Could someone spot me?" Hazel asked. "Wow! This is a lot heavier than i..." Before she could finish her sentence, the weight of the house pushed itself back down on her, crushing the wicked witch once again, but this time for good.
"Ew." Said Dorothy and Danny.
"Okay. Now she's dead." Said the 12 year old boy.
The Munchkins cheered once again.
Just then, a small white twister floated toward Munchkin Land.
"What is that?" Dorothy asked.
"Hey, look. Even the twisters are Munchkin-sized." Said Danny.
"Oh, that's no twister, that's her sister. She's the sister of the witch you just crushed with a house." Said a 6 year old boy.
"Sister?" Dorothy and Danny said.
The white twister soon landed in front of Dorothy, Danny and Toto and transformed into a beautiful middle aged woman with blond hair and brown eyes. She wore white lipstick, a big white, glitter coded, long sleeve dress and white high heel shoes underneath, even though the dress covered them, and she held a wand with a white glitter snowflake on the tip.
"Hello, my dear Munchkins." Said the woman in a sweet voice.
"Snowmella!" Said the Munchkins as they all gathered around the woman in white known as Snowmella and began hugging on her.
Danny and Toto got in front of Dorothy just in case they needed to protect her from this woman who's sister they crushed with the house. "Now i know we're not in Kansas." Said Danny.
"Oh my goodness, who's that?" Dorothy asked.
"Don't you know?" Asked one of the boys.
"Are you a good witch or a bad witch?" The woman asked Dorothy.
"Who, me? I-i'm not a witch at all. I'm Dorothy Gale from Kansas."
"Oh. Well, is that the witch?" The woman asked as she pointed at Toto with the star tip of her wand.
"Who, Toto? Toto's my dog." Said Dorothy.
Snowmella then noticed Danny. "And just who might you be, young man?"
"My name's Danny. Who are you?"
"Me? Well, let's just say that i am a friend who is here to help. At your service, my dears." Said Snowmella.
"Well then, could you please tell us what's going on?" Dorothy asked.
"I would be glad to, my dear. You see...when your house landed it landed on my older sister, the wicked witch of the East. Leaving nothing but her magic shoes there." Said Snowmella as she pointed at the silver shoes with the star tip of her wand.
Dorothy and Danny looked down at the shoes and saw that the witch of the East had disolved out of them. The only thing left of her were her silver shoes.
"Huh? So the person under the house..."
"Was a witch, dear, and as wicked as they come. You and your friend here have done all the Munchkins a great service." Said Snowmella, cutting Dorothy off.
"Oh. You mean it?" Danny asked.
"I do indeed." Said Snowmella. "I'll admit, at first i was a bit confused. The Munchkins called me because a new witch has just dropped a house on The Wicked Witch Of The East. And there's the house. And here you are. And that's all that's left of The Wicked Witch Of The East. And so, what the Munchkins want to know is are you a good witch or a bad witch?"
"But i've already told you, i'm not a witch at all. Witches are old and ugly." Said Dorothy.
All of the children in blue laughed.
"What was that?" Asked Danny.
"The Munchkins. They're laughing because i am a witch. I'm Snowmella, The Witch Of The North."
"You are?" Asked Dorothy. "Oh, i beg your pardon, but, i've never heard of a beautiful witch before."
"Only bad witches are ugly. The Munchkins are happy because you have freed them from The Wicked Witch Of The East." Said Snowmella.
"But if you please, what are Munchkins?" Asked Dorothy.
"The little children who live in this land. It's Munchkin land. And you are their national heros, my dears. It's alright. You may all come out and thank her." Said Snowmella.
All of the rest of the children known as Munchkins came out of hiding and went up to where Dorothy and Danny were.
"Three cheers for Dorothy and Danny!" Said one of the boy Munchkins.
All the Munchkins cheered.
"Long live Dorothy and Danny, they destroyed the wicked witch!" Said another boy Munchkin.
"So far, so good. I hope we'll be alright." Danny thought to himself.
"She looks harmless and she has great powers." Said one of the Munchkin boys.
"Yes, she must be a witch too." Added another Munchkin boy.
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Snowmella asked.
"Because she destroyed the witch of the East." Said the boy.
"True." Said Snowmella.
"Dropping houses is quite a trick." Added a girl Munchkin.
"Yeah, never seen that one before." Said a boy Munchkin.
"I wonder what else she can do?" Another boy Munchkin asked.
"Anything she wants, most likely." Said another Munchkin boy.
"I wonder where we are. This doesn't look like Kansas at all." Said Dorothy.
"Huh?" Said Snowmella and the Munchkins.
"Did she say Kansas?" Said a boy Munchkin.
"That's what it sounded like to me." Said a girl Munchkin.
"Well what does Kansas mean?" Another boy Munchkin said.
"Don't ask me, i don't know." Said a girl Munchkin.
"If this isn't Kansas, where in America is it?" Dorothy asked.
"That's what i'd like to know. Where are we anyway?" Danny asked.
"My dear, you're not in America, you're in the land of Oz. Goodness, didn't you know?" Snowmella said.
"Oz?" Danny said.
"The land of Oz? I never heard of it. Are you sure?" Added Dorothy.
Snowmella and the Munchkins all laughed.
"Would you please tell me what's so funny?" Dorothy asked.
Snowmella and the Munchkin ceased their laughing.
"Well, tell me, i'd like to laugh too! Don't you know it's terribly not to share your jokes with others?" Said Dorothy.
"Now, now, don't be angry, dear. We didn't mean anything by it. Let's have a talk." Said Snowmella.
"That sounds like a good idea." Said Dorothy.
"Come along." Said Snowmella as she walked off with Dorothy following.
Danny picked up Toto and followed after Dorothy and Snowmella.
Snowmella led Dorothy and Danny to the edge of a clift where they saw a beautiful, tropical endless vally of dense jungle.
"Behold, my dear. The land of Oz as far as the eye can see." Said Snowmella.
"Whoa. It's beautiful." Said Danny.
"But where did Kansas go?" Dorothy asked.
"That i cannot tell you. For the land of Oz is the only land i know. Now Oz is devided into four countries: The East, The West, the South and the North. One for each direction, isn't that cleaver?" Explained Snowmella.
"Oh uh, yes, very cleaver." Said Dorothy.
"Cool." Said Danny.
"Now, if the South is over there, that makes the North that way. The West is there. So we're in the country of the East." Said Snowmella.
"Kansas was never like this." Said Dorothy.
"Each country use to have one witch." Said Snowmella as she led the children away from the clift.
"Don't they now?" Dorothy asked.
"Of course not, my dear, you just destroyed one of them." Said Snowmella.
"We didn't mean to." Said Dorothy.
"It was an accident, i swear. We didn't mean to kill anybody." Said Danny.
"Oh, don't worry. She was a very wicked witch, indeed." Said Snowmella.
"I'm afraid that her shoes are all that's left of her." Said Dorothy.
"Her most prized possessions. They have special powers." Said Snowmella.
"Special powers? Are you sure?" Dorothy asked.
"Of course i am sure. I have to be, after all, i am a witch myself." Said Snowmella.
"You're a what?" Dorothy asked. She and Danny backed up a few feet after hearing that. "Did i hear you correctly? Did you say you're a witch?"
"Yes, but don't be afraid, i'm not a wicked witch. Far from it. You see, the witch of the North, that's me, and my other sister, Glinda, the witch of the South, are good witches." Said Snowmella.
"Does that mean the witch of the West is wicked?" Dorothy asked.
"True and true, my dear. Wicked as they come, which is why everyone here is so delighted that you and your friend here have rid them of Hazel, The Wicked Witch Of The East. Thanks to you, they lost a wicked witch and claimed a good one. You." Said Snowmella.
"Mm-hm. You." Said the Munchkins.
"But i'm not a witch. Really, i'm not. All this is an accident, i had nothing to do with it at all. Honostly." Said Dorothy as she backed up a few feet.
"Well, if you are not a witch, you're a sourcoress, or a wizard or a fairy perhaps?" Said Snowmella.
"No, i'm none of those. I'm just Dorothy. Come on, Toto and Danny." Said Dorothy. She and Danny, who was still holding Toto, ran inside the farm house and closed the door.
A 9 year old Munchkin boy ran up to Serenety. "Look inside, definintly not a witch's house."
~INSIDE THE FARM HOUSE~
Dorothy, Danny and Toto were sitting down on the bed.
"Dorothy, are you okay?" Danny asked.
"Oh, Danny, aunt Em and uncle Henry must be terribley worried. And no one here seems to know how to help us. How will we ever get back to Kansas?"
"Kansas? What is this Kansas?" Came a voice.
"Why, it's my home." Said Dorothy.
"Who said that?" Danny asked as he looked around the room.
"Why, i did, of course." Said Snowmella as she appeared right in front of the children. "Is Kansas such a wonderful land?"
"Oh yes, i love it. I want to go back as soon as i can, i miss it already." Said Dorothy.
"I guess we all love our home, no matter where it is. But is Kansas that more wonderful than the land of Oz? It's not that bad here, is it?" Snowmella asked.
"No. We haven't been here long and it looks very nice. I just don't want uncle Henry and aunt Em to worry about us. You're a witch. Would you help us get back to Kansas? I'd be ever so greatful." Said Dorothy.
"And you're really sure that's what you want?" Snowmella asked.
"Oh yes, really. There must be some way to get back, there must be." Said Dorothy.
"Please say you'll help us, Good Witch Snow. Which is the way back to Kansas? We can't go the way we came." Said Danny.
"No, that's true. The only person who would be able to help you with something like that would be the wonderful Wizard Of Oz himself." Said Snowmella.
"Wizard Of Oz? Is he good or is he wicked?" Dorothy asked.
"He is very good, but very mysterious. He lives in the Emerald City, that's a long journey from here." Said Snowmella.
"But where is this Emerald City?" Dorothy asked.
Snowmella: "Remember i told you that the land of Oz is devided into four countries? Well the Emerald City sits right in the middle. And..."
"And what?" Dorothy asked.
"And that's where you'll find the wonderful Wizard Of Oz." Said Snowmella.
"The wonderful Wizard Of Oz? He sounds very important. Will he be able to help us, do you think?" Said Dorothy.
"Well, if anyone can help you, it'll be the wonderful wizard. So off you go." Said Snowmella.
A light bulb went off in Danny's head. If this wizard could help get Dorothy back home to Kansas, maybe he could help Danny remember who he was. "Excuse me, Dorothy, but do you think that if i went with you this wizard could help me remember who i am?"
"I couldn't say. But even if he didn't, you'd be no better off than you are now." Said Dorothy.
"Yeah, that's true." Said Danny.
"But how do we get there? To the Emerald City i mean." Dorothy asked.
"I'll show you. Follow me." Said Snowmella. She led Dorothy, Danny and Toto out of the house. "By wearing them." She said as she pointed at the silver shoes. "They will protect you on the long road to the Emerald City." With a wave of her magic wand, the silver high heel shoes appeared on Dorothy's feet, replacing her black flats.
"Oh, they feel so good." Said Dorothy.
"Yeah, and look how sparkely they are." Added Danny.
Just then, a puff of purple smoke appeared and all of the Munchkins fell face down on the ground and Dorothy picked up Toto. The smoke soon cleared, revealing a beautiful woman with black hair and brown eyes. She was dressed like a Queen and she held a broom stick in her hand.
"I thought you said she was dead." Said Dorothy.
"Well, that was our sister, Hazel, The Wicked Witch Of The East. This is my other sister, Esther, The Wicked Witch Of The West. And she's worse than the other one was." Said Snowmella.
"So much for bad witches being ugly." Said Danny.
"She is ugly...on the inside." Said Snowmella.
The woman known as Esther walked up to Dorothy, Danny and Snowmella. "Who killed my sister? Who killed Hazel, The Wicked Witch Of The East? Was it you?"
"No, it was an accident. I didn't mean to kill anybody." Said Dorothy.
"Well, my dear, i can cause accidents too." Said Esther.
"Are you forgetting the silver slippers?" Asked Snowmella.
"The slippers. Of course. The slippers." Esther walked over to the house where Hazel's legs were sticking out from under the house, only to see that the silver shoes were no longer on her feet. "They're gone!" The witch walked back over to where the two children and The Witch Of The North were. "The silver slippers! What have you done with them! Give them back to me or i'll..."
"It's too late." Snowmella pointed down at Dorothy's feet with the snowflake tip of her wand, revealing the silver high heel shoes. "There they are and there they'll stay."
"Give me back my slippers. I'm the only one who knows how to use them. They're no use to you. Give them back to me. Give them back." Said Esther.
"Keep very tight inside of them. They're magic must be very powerful or she wouldn't want them so badly." Said Snowmella to Dorothy.
"You stay out of this, Good Witch Snow. Or i'll fix you as well." Said Esther.
"Oh, rubish. You have no power here. Be gone before somebody drops a house on you too." Said Snowmella.
"Very well. I'll bide my time." Esther looked at Dorothy. "So...this is the girl who stole my sister's silver slippers. You'll regret the day you did that. No one steals from The Wicked Witch Of The West. It's tru, i can't attend to you here and now as i'd like...but just try to stay out of my way. Just try. I'll get you, my dear. And your little dog and friend too. But now, i must go. I'm late for an oppointment. I'm off to get a manecure. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The Wicked Witch Of The West then disappeared in a puff of purple smoke.
"It's alright." Snowmella asured. "You can get up, she's gone. It's alright. You can all get up."
All of the Munchkins got up from the ground.
"My sinsear apologies. I'm afraid you both have made an enemy of The Wicked Witch Of The West. The sooner you get out of Oz all together, the safer you'll both sleep." Said Snowmella.
"Oh, i'd give anything to get out of Oz all together." Said Dorothy. "But you said the shoes had special powers. What did you mean?"
"Just what i said, they're magic." Said Snowmella.
"Magic?" Dorothy asked.
"Yes, as long as you have those on, they'll sheild you from danger. After all, we don't want anything to happen to either of you before you see the wizard, do we? And remember, never let those silver slippers off your feet for a moment or you will be at the mercy of The Wicked Witch Of The West." Snowmella said.
"Well, i guess that guarantees her safety, but what about my safety? I'm not wearing any magic shoes." Said Danny.
"Oh, that reminds me. I have something else for you too." Said Snowmella.
"Oh? You do?" Said Dorothy.
"Well, for both of you, actually." Said Snowmella. She leaned forward and kissed both Dorothy and Danny on their foreheads, leaving a white kissing mark from her white lipstick. "My extra special protective kiss just in case. And no one will dare injure a person who has been kissed by the witch of the North."
"Just in case?" Dorothy said.
"Now that's what i'm talkin' 'bout. So, take us to meet your wizard." Said Danny.
"To get to the wizard, just follow the yellow brick road to the Emerald City. It's in the exact center of our country." Said Snowmella.
"Wait, we gotta walk to the center of your country? There's not, like, a ride or something we can take?" Said Danny.
"You wanna remember who you are or not?" One of the Munchkins boys said.
"Ok, ok, sorry." Danny turned to Dorothy. "Well, let's go."
"Oh, hold up there, little girl." Said the lead Munchkin boy.
"The name's Dorothy."
"Well, Dorothy, we Munchkins kinda owe you and Danny for saving us and all. If you guys ever need a favor, just give us a call, like so..."Calling all Munchkins, let's do lunchkins. One for all and all for one. Calling all Munchkins, Munchkins, Munchkins. Take our call. You say that and we'll come to your aid." Said the lead Munchkin boy.
"Thanks, we'll try to remember that." Said Danny.
"Okay. Now, just go down the yellow brick road. You'll be there in...well, i can't say for sure, but it starts right over there." Snowmella pointed with her wand.
"The yellow brick road?" Dorothy said.
"YEAH! THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD!" Shouted the Munchkins.
"And remember, don't ever take those shoes off for anyone or anything." Said Snowmella.
"I won't. I promise i won't." Said Dorothy.
"Just follow the yellow brick road?" Said Danny.
"Yes. Just follow the yellow brick road." Said Snowmella.
Danny noticed a red brick road and turned back to Snowmella. "But, what happens if we..."
"Just follow the yellow brick road." Said Snowmella.
"Just follow the yellow brick road. That's all there is to it, huh? Sounds easy enough. Come on, Dorothy and Toto, let's go." Said Danny.
"Goodbye, Dorothy. Goodbye, Daniel." Said Snowmella. She then span around really, really fast until she transformed back into a white twister and flew away into the sky.
The Munchkins waved goodbye to Snowmella as she departed from their land.
"Man. People come and go so quickly here. Come on, Dorothy, let's go." Said Danny.
"Alright. But first let's go back in the house and see if we can find some snacks for our trip. After all, we have a long journey ahead of us." Said Dorothy.
"Okay." Said Danny.
The children and Toto ran back inside the house to pack some snacks for the trip.
~LATER~
Dorothy, Danny and Toto walked down the yellow brick road towards their destination to the Emerald City to meet the wonderful Wizard Of Oz himself. The two children had prepared for their journey. Dorothy had changed into her blue and white checkered dress and filled a basket with bread and pie. Then, with Toto at their side, they set off along the yellow brick road through the jungle.
Toto had ran on ahead of them and stopped a few miles up ahead and waited for them. Dorothy and Danny soon caught up with Toto.
"Toto, don't be in such a hurry. It's a long way to the Emerald City, you'll wear yourself out." Said Dorothy. She and Danny then looked back and saw that they had already traviled a mighty long way. "Oh, look how far we've come already. The Munchkins were awefully nice. I'd like to get to know them better, but we absolutely must get back home where we belong. Well, come on, Toto." She, Danny and Toto ran down the yellow brick road.
After following the yellow brick road for some time, Dorothy looked down at the silver high heel shoes she had on. "These shoes are so beautiful the way they sparkel and shine. They must be special. Oh, Danny, i can't wait to meet the wonderful Wizard Of Oz."
"I can't wait to meet him either. Maybe he'll be able to help me remember who i am." Said Danny.
"What? Is that the only reason you're traveling with me?" Dorothy asked.
"Well, that's just one of the reasons." Said Danny.
"Oh? What else is there?" Dorothy asked.
"Well, the road to the Emerald City is a long journey, and i don't think it's fair for someone like you to make that trip all by yourself. So i figured i'd come along with you and Toto to accompany you both on your journey. Plus i promised your aunt Em that i would keep you and Toto out of trouble. I hope that's okay." Said Danny.
"Of course it is. You're the first human friend i ever had. I'm glad you're tagging along with us." Said Dorothy.
"So am i...so am i." Said Danny.
After walking for hours on the yellow brick road, Dorothy, Danny and Toto stopped and watched the sun as it began to set for the night.
"Look at the pretty sun set, Danny. It could almost be Kansas if it wasn't for the hills and the trees. Come on. We'll go a little ferther before it gets too dark." Said Dorothy. She, Danny and Toto resumed their walked down the road.
It soon became dark in the jungle, and Dorothy, Danny and Toto were still walking down the road.
"I suppose we better stop and find a place to sleep, you guys." Said Dorothy as she, Danny and Toto stopped in their tracks.
"I suppose so." Said Danny.
Toto then ran deeper into the jungle.
"Toto! Where are you going?" Dorothy asked. "Don't get lost, Toto! What's he doing?"
"I think he wants us to follow him. Come on." Said Danny. He and Dorothy ran ferther into the jungle off the road where Toto went. They soon caught up with the little dog.
"Toto, what's wrong?" Dorothy asked.
"Dorothy, look." Said Danny.
Dorothy looked and smiled. In front of them was a small house. Maybe whoever lived their would let them stay there for the night.
Dorothy, Danny and Toto ran up to the front door of the house and knocked on it.
"Hello?" Dorothy called.
"Anybody home?" Danny added.
The door soon opened and Dorothy and Danny were greeted by an elderly man.
"Why, Dorothy, Daniel, hello." Said the man.
"Goodness. How do you know our names?" Dorothy asked.
"Peaches, guess who's here." Said the man.
An elderly woman came to the man's side.
"Dorothy, Daniel. Well, what an honor. You're both famous throughout the land of Oz." Said the woman.
"Yes. You destroyed the wicked witch of the East." Said the man.
"Only by accident." Said Dorothy.
"Of course, of course. Come in." Said the man.
Dorothy, Danny and Toto entered inside the house and the man closed the front door behind them.
Later, they were all sitting at the table, eating supper. Minus Toto, who was eating his food out of a bowl on the floor.
"So, you're on your way to the Emerald City then, are you?" The woman asked.
"Yes ma'am." Said Dorothy.
"With this convention?" The man asked.
"No. I'm going because i want to ask to wonderful Wizard Of Oz help me get back home." Said Dorothy.
"And i want to ask him to help me remember who i am." Added Danny.
"What? You're going to see the wizard?" The man said.
"Oh, are you sure you should? He's very scary, you know. There must be some way for you to get back home and remember who you are without having to go and see him." Said the woman.
"The wizard. Wow." Said the man.
"Besides, would it be so bad if you had to stay here? You've seen what a lovely place Oz is. Why not make it your new home? In fact, you could move in with us. You can even have your own rooms." Said the woman.
"We'd love to have you and it's too risky for you to travel alone to the Emerald City." Said the man.
"I'm not traveling alone. I have Toto and Danny." Said Dororthy.
"Well, Toto and Daniel are better than nothing, i guess." Said the man.
After finishing up supper, Dorothy, Danny and Toto decided to turn in for the night.
"Goodnight, Dorothy. Goodnight Daniel. Sleep well." Said the man and woman.
"Goodnight." Said Dorothy.
"And thank you." Added Danny.
"Poor children. They must exhasted." Said the woman.
"You think this Kansas of her's is a better place than Oz?" The man asked.
"It wouldn't matter if it wasn't. She's home sick , that's why she's going back." Said the woman.
~IN THE BEDROOM~
Dorothy and Danny each slept in their own beds while Toto slept on the floor. They need to get as much rest as possible.
After all...they had a very busy day ahead of them tomorrow.
