A/N: Hey guys! Here is the next chapter to my story as I promised! Enjoy! :)

The sun broke into the small house as Oona awoke from her sleep. Bubble Puppy was already awake and Fin was awake too.

"We need to find water." said Oona.

"What do we need water for?" asked Fin.

"I don't like feeling so dirty. I want to wash my face and drink something too. I'm thirsty." said Oona.

"I bet being a human is hard sometimes. You have to sleep, eat, and drink. At least you have brains." said Fin.

They found a river nearby where Oona bathed, washed, and drank. She also had breakfast too. She began to go back to the road when suddenly, there was a deep groan nearby.

"What was that?" Oona asked.

"I don't know but let's go have a look." said Fin.

They heard another groan. This groan sounded like it was behind them. They turned around and walked a little bit. In the distance, Oona noticed something and ran to it and gasped when she arrived.

It was a man. The man was made of tin! His tin clothes were blue and purple stripes and so was his tin hat. The man also had familiar dark indigo hair that was short. Oona could swear she had seen it before.

"Did you groan?" asked Oona.

"I sure did. I've been groaning for a year. Nobody came to help me at all." said the man of tin.

"How can we help you?" asked Oona.

"Could you please get my oil can from the house and oil my joints?" asked the man of tin.

Oona nodded and rushed back to the house. She quickly found the can and ran back to the tin man.

"Where do you need oil?" asked Oona.

"Oil my head first please." said the tin man.

Oona did so and Fin moved the head until it was all good.

"Next, please oil my arms." said the tin man.

Oona did that and Fin moved the arms until they were good.

"Finally, please oil my legs." said the tin man.

Oona oiled the legs and Fin moved the legs and he was perfect.

"Thank you both. You have saved my life! My name is Toby by the way. Who are you guys and where are you going?" asked Toby.

"I'm Oona. The dog is Bubble Puppy and the scarecrow is Fin. We're going to the Green Jewel City to see the Wizard of Bubbleland. We happened to rest the night at your cottage." said Oona.

"Why are you going to see the wizard?" asked Toby.

"Me and Bubble Puppy want to go home and Fin wants some brains." said Oona.

"Do you think he could give me a heart?" asked Toby.

"I'm sure he could!" said Oona.

Toby was about to speak again until there was a cackle from behind them. They looked up and there was Zoey!

"What fine gentlemen you both are! Helping this little girl get home! What a shame!" said Zoey.

Oona was scared and she hid behind her friends who were both staring in terror at this creature they had never seen before.

"If I were you both, I'll stay ahead from her and let her do it herself! I believe Fin will be a good mattress! As for you Toby, you'd be a wonderful beehive!" said Zoey.

The friends stepped back in terror.

"Let's play ball, Fin!" said Zoey.

She cackled again as she made a ball of fire and threw it in front of Fin. Instantly, the grass in front of him erupted into fire. Oona scared and ran away from the fire and dashed around to find something to help. Toby took his tin hat and put out the fire. Zoey cackled again and disappeared in a puff of red smoke.

"Don't worry about her Oona. We'll get you to see the wizard regret less of what she says." said Fin.

"Same here." said Toby.

"Thank you both. I've just been so far from home and this place is so different from home." said Oona.

The friends and the dog all set off together down the road.

"So, Toby, what happened to you that caused you to get rusted like that?" asked Oona.

"I was outside chopping wood and in the middle of cutting down a tree, a rainstorm began to pour and it was too late for me to go inside because I had rusted." said Toby.

Oona believed they were lucky because fallen trees up ahead. Since Toby had his ax with him, he just chopped through the trees.

"I want a heart because the tins man who made me forgot to give me one." said Toby.

"Don't worry, I'm sure the wizard will gives us what we need." said Oona.

Oona was sure they would get their needs for the wizard could be a very kind man. She was only worried because she was running out of bread to eat and another meal with her and Bubble Puppy would mean no more food left. She pushed the thought aside as the group marched into deeper and darker woods.

A/N: Uh-oh! Off they go to into the woods! What do you think they'll meet? What will happen? Find out tomorrow! :)
