I don't own the character or the wizard of Oz(even though that would be awesome). Anyways in really sorry I haven't updated in a while but I really wanted to have a good chapter and when I force myself to write they don't come out as nice. Also if there are any mistakes I'm sorry. I hope you like this chapter J Opps one more thing the China girls name is going to be Samantha too. If anyone had a better idea I can change it. It's a little girly but she defiantly had girls moments and if she turns tomboy(which I'm not planning) she could be called Sam… tell me what you think.

"Say cheese" Knuch said in a sarcastically happy tone. Oz, Glinda, the china girl, and Finley all smiles as the camera flashed.

"You know sourpuss you could use a smile too." Oz teased. The dwarf who had been standing on a latter to take the picture shot the wizard a annoyed look and rolled his eyes.

"If I had my horn I would whack you" the herald said. Everyone in room laughed a little however at the same time they all knew that he wasn't joking.

"Well it s a good thing you don't have it, now isn't it" Glinda said before Oz could respond.

"I don't know" the China girl said "it would be pretty funny.

"but hurt" Oz added almost cringing at the thought of it.

"Yeah, Yeah" Knuch said waving his hand.

"You were lucky this time" he said walking towards the big door to exit the room. A he jumped on to the handle Knuch tried to get enough momentum to open to door. I did open but swung back the other way almost knocking him on his feet. Oz walked up and held the door open so the elder man could leave. Picking up his hat the had fallen on the ground Knuch nodded to a grinning Oz as he left.

"I think your starting to grow on him" Glinda said smiling. Oz turned to face her not sure if she was being sarcastic. Though when he saw her smiling face he knew she was right.

"Nah, he was just happy I opened the door." Oz answered. The truth was that he really did respect Knuch and he knew that little man liked him too. They were friends, even though neither if them would ever admit it. Of course the occasionally jokes or whacks couldn't be stopped.

Oz looked at the three left in the room with him. They were his family, a odd bunch to call a family but that didn't stop them. Oz smiled because he was happy. And on top of everything in his life for that moment it was all that mattered.

In one of the many rooms in the Emerald palace Oz sat watching a fire crackle. Life out side the palace for Oz hadn't been as hard as he expected. At first he thought that he would be in the confinement of the castle for the rest of his life. However Glinda soon helped him come up with a plan around it. Since not many citizens of Oz had seen him before he had presumably 'died' going out wasn't as hard as they had thought. He had to wear a hat and different clothes but other than that his only problem was not to draw attention to himself. However that was a problem, Oz had mastered the craft of getting attention and now the opposite needed to be done.

When going out with China girl and Finley they could easily blend into society. Since neither of them raised any attention to by passers. Although with Glinda it was a different story all together. Oz smiled at the though. For starters the whole city and much of the surrounding lands knew who Glinda was. Everyone was always coming up to her and greeting her. As if they were trying to please her. Glinda of course being the nice person she was tried her best to pay attention to everyone. Glinda would be noticed no matter what Oz though. Realizing that he had been blushing at the though Oz almost hit himself on the head.

Knock, Knock. The man turned around to see Glinda standing in the door way. "Hey" He said standing up to great her.

"Hi" she responded smiling. "I didn't interrupt anything did I?" she asked looking around her smile fading.

"No, nothing" he responded fast obviously having been board "just thinking."

After thirty seconds of silence the witch spoke up. "Oscar?" She said in a questioning tone. He looked into her eyes and waited for her to speak again.

"Do you miss where you are from, your home?" Oz was struck by the question. It wasn't a hard question to answer but he certainly wasn't expecting it.

"I don't miss Kansas, more the people in it. That's what makes it home" Oz answered looking into her eyes. Glinda had a way of bring out the truth in him. Not many people other had that effect on him the only two were his mother and Annie.

"Can you tell me about it" She asked in a loving way. It may have been curiosity that drove the question but Glinda did really care to hear the story. He grabbed her hand and lead her to a love seat by the fire place. Once seated he faced her and smiled. Oz started to tell his story to her all the way from the day he was born to when he meet her in the graveyard. Quietly she listened and his story swept her into his land for the brief time.

"Did you love her?" Glinda asked when he had talked about Annie. Oz was surprised went she asked him.

After a moment of looking for the right words Oz answered "I did Very much, but it doesn't matter I didn't deserve her." Glinda looked into Oz's eyes but they ere far off in another land.

Reaching for his hand and squeezing it Glinda replied "of course you did." He looked into her eyes again but this time it was as if he was looking into Annie's.

~.~

"But she's happy now, that's what matters. And I'm here now" Oz said. Glinda saw a different side of Oz when he talked about his parents and Annie, a more innocent childish version.

After he had finished his story Oz took a deep breath and looked into the fire. "This is my home now" Oz said. He and Glinda looked into each others eyes for another time that night.

"And we are your family" She added smiling. Slowly Oz leaned in and kisses her. After the timeless kiss Glinda stood up.

"Goodnight Oscar" the good Witch said before leaving the room.

"Goodnight" he responded before retiring to his own room.

In his room Oz though of the picture he had been in earlier that day. Smiling he said this time to himself "i am home."

So… what did you think? Please review. Tell me If there are any character or story lines you would like to see. In the story I'm not going have Oz tell Glinda that her and Annie are pretty much like the same person but just from like different places, lol. I'm not sure how I going to have that work out yet if I even add it. Also if this was out of character or to cheesy please tell me so I can fix it next time. Thanks to everyone who reads and/or reviews :D
