4. An Upcoming Wedding

"We can accept you back Theodora, but only if you won't hurt us..." One of the crowd answered. Theodora was relieved by the suddenly acceptation of the crowd. "And I am going to marry her instead of Glinda.. I've always loved Glinda but Theodora more.. We have been through more and she learned me a few things just like Glinda.. I hope you accept it.. Instead of being married tomorrow with Glinda.. I'll marry Theodora tomorrow.. One more things.. Don't judge her look she can never become normal again.. This is her true self now.." Oz said, Theodora looked sad down to the ground. The China Girl lied a hand at her leg, she suddenly stood next to her. "I think you look beautiful.. Tomorrow we will make a beautiful girl of you.. More beautifuler.. For the marriage." The China Girl answered.

Theodora was stunned. The doll actually held her leg. She never thought that she would feel so accepted by anyone again. Yet tears came to her eyes. She thought to herself..."I will never truly be myself again! When my heart comes back to light, I will still be this creature!" She finished and cried..."I want to be myself again!"
Oscar and Glinda turned with wide eyes. Parts of the crowd could hear Theodora's loud cry. "Theodora, I truly am sorry. If there was an enchantment that I could use I would without hesitation!" Glinda said, trying to comfort her. Oscar held her in his arms. "I wish we could too!" "Theodora, I will always love you! No matter what!" Oscar comforted.

Theodora stood frozen in her steps. She had the will and stamina to seek out that wretch Evanora, and make her tell her the antidote for her curse. "Oscar loves me!" "OZ does not hate me!" "Things can get better." "Why cannot I change with my new life as well!" Theodora thought to herself.

Oz held her tight and the crowd started to clap and scream out of happiness, maybe to comfort her a little. "Still under those black clothes and green skin is a beautiful woman.." Oz comforted her. Theodora smiled while tears of joy started to come in her eyes. Oz whipped them away before they could burn her cheeks. "I thank you so much Oz.. You are so nice to me, maybe I don't even deserve it." Theodora finished. "Remember I wasn't truly in love with Glinda, well... I was, but now I love you again.. I had to learn that I loved someone and Glinda learned it to me.. And to be respectful as well.. You didn't even had the time to ask me why I did this.." Oscar hugged her tight while the little China Girl glomped around them and said: "Now we need to make everything look beautiful for you two tomorrow!" She grinned. "Remember Theodora months ago you always hipped around.. You still can."

Theodora smiled at herself in the mirror. The one she had destroyed. It had been repaired. "He must truly love me!" She thought to herself. As she faced herself, she could see changes. She was her old self again, least for green skin. Her skin has now become bright green, instead of her former darker shade. Her nose and eyes are now just as they once were. Theodora smiled at herself. "I am beautiful!" She cried in a happy tone. "Tomorrow is my Wedding Day!"

Oz came in and immediately kissed her at the neck. As he looked to her golden necklace. "Green... Black.. A broom.. You look perfect to be my dear Theodora.." Oz whispered in her ear. "And tomorrow your dream will come true, right? Beying my queen." Oz took her black hat off and did her hair out of the hairnet, so her beautiful dark brown hair fell on her shoulders. "See.. You are truly beautiful."

Theodora walked down the aisle. In her flowing lavender gown. The people of Emerald City were dressed in their usual emerald green apparel. There were smiles from everyone in the crowd. "Lady Theodora has returned!" They shouted.
As Theodora walked, she could see Oscar smiling at her. Once she reached him, they kissed each other deeply. Theodora felt peaceful with herself at last.

"You can wear whatever you want every day.. And afcours the broom will always be yours.. But please stay here now forever." Theodora smilled as she kissed his forehead. "We will share also a bed tonight.." Oscar grinned deeply but behaved himself as they walked to their sleep room.

As they sat in the bedroom, Oscar and Theodora just lied back by each other. Thinking how this came to be. "This is unbelievable!" Theodora remarked. "I am your Queen!" "This I thought could never happen."
Oscar looked up, staring at her, he said..."I made a promise to you didn't I?" "Remember, we belong together!" He finished, as a smile appeared on his face. Theodora's face beamed at his reply.

The China Girl and Glinda took Theodora with them for making her look pretty for her marriage tomorrow. And Finley took Oscar with him for making him look nice for the wedding. Both of them were pretty nervous for tomorrow. Glinda grinned as she did Theodora's hair out of the knot and her lavender dress out. The China Girl did beautiful natural make-up on her face and removed the black eyeliners that made her eyes look like the ones that zombies have. Glinda created with her magic an beautiful white dress and an veil with pink and green flowers around it. She still had the golden necklace around her neck. Glinda took her in front of the mirror, Theodora held her hand for her mouth and tears started to form in the corners of her eyes.
"Don't cry Theodora, otherwise your make-up falls of." The China Girl grinned as she made her lips dark red instead of black. Theodora smilled to them.
"I know but I just looks so unbelievable beautiful." She grinned back.
