(a/n: hello everyone. Enjoy and review please!)

For the story: "What if Theodora confronted Oscar at the Emerald City on the night she was banished?"

Night had fallen in the Emerald city and every single inhabitant had gathered in the city square in front of the palace.

The crowd was outraged by the recent revelation that Evanora was the one that killed the king and that she had Glinda chained up and ready for execution.

The Winkie guards struggled to keep the riotous crowd back. Evanora barked at her guards to keep the crowd under control.

Theodora watched the crowded square from the roof of one the palace's high towers. She was a little worried. The people of the Emerald City loved Glinda and now that they know the truth, it may be hard for Evanora to keep control.

Theodora reached for her broom and was about to assist her sister but she paused.

She noticed something move in the corner of her eye. The witched glanced towards a shorter tower that was next to the one she was on.

She squinted and she saw the large, familiar shape of a hot air balloon placed on the bridge that connected the king's treasury to the palace.

Theodora instantly knew who would be there. She grabbed her broom and she glided across to the treasury.

Theodora landed behind the balloon. The witch glanced inside the basket and saw that it was packed to the brim with bags of gold and jewels.

She shook her head muttering, "I should've known". The wizard Oz was obviously using the chaos down below as a means to get to the treasury and escape with the gold before anyone wised up to his plan.

Theodora saw the wizard exit the treasury, dragging a pair of large bags of gold. He turned to load the bags into the balloon's basket, he saw Theodora.

Oz jumped in surprise "T-Theodora" "Leaving so soon?" she asked venomously.

He let go of the bags and held up his hands defensively "It's not what it looks like"

"Really?" sniffed Theodora "It looks like you're going to abandon Glinda and the people of this land, just like you abandoned me!"

Oz frowned in confusion "What are you talking about?"

She glared at him "Don't play innocent. You went to my sister's chambers that night, you two danced like we have, you gave her a music box like mine and then you left us for Glinda"

Oz blinked and said "I didn't do that" "Liar!" snarled Theodora.

Oz slowly lowered his hands "Theodora, I didn't do any of those things. To be honest, I only had one music box. The one I gave you. Besides, why would i carry around more than one music box?"

Theodora just glared at the wizard.

He swallowed and continued, "The night I left, I wanted to say goodbye to you but Evanora said that I shouldn't and I figured that I would've defeated the wicked witch and be back before you noticed that I was gone"

Theodora stared at the wizard for a moment than said quietly "You wanted to say goodbye?"

"Yeah" said Oz "I figured that since I was being sent off on a dangerous quest to defeat a witch, I thought that I might as well say my goodbyes in case I didn't make it back".

Theodora's expression softened a little. She hated him but from the serious expression on his face, he was probably being sincere.

A thought came to her head. "Evanora sent you away?" she asked.

Oz nodded "She showed me the treasury and then sent me on my way. Like I said before, she didn't want me to say goodbye" he frowned a little "Now that I think about it, she was kind of in a hurry to get me out of the city and to keep me from seeing you again".

Theodora scowled and she looked down towards her sister who was busy trying to keep order. The witch clenched her fist and snarled. Her sister had deceived her again.

Evanora did lie about the king's death and she did lie about Glinda, who's to say that's not all she lied about.

"Theodora?" said Oz in concern.

The witch turned to him and said softly "Thank you" she mounted her broom and was ready to take off but Oz called after her "Wait!"

Theodora glanced back at him "Aren't you going to stop me or at least ask me what I'm doing?" asked Oz.

She smiled a little "Whatever it is you have planned, I don't want to know about it. I want it to be a surprise" she took off.

Oz watched her as she flew to the city square. Feeling a little relieved and a little confused, he resumed loading the balloon.

End.
