AH! AFTER 10,000 YEARS, I'M DONE! IT'S TIME TO CONQUER... in hindsight, conquering Japan is a bad idea. What I'm trying to say is that this fic is done! There will be no recap this time, instead, there will a shoutout at the end. So, let's go to it!

After a long trek, the gang finally reached the Emerald City, now with the wicked witch's broom at their hands. The citizens of the city cheered for the group as they march towards the wizard's chambers. And when they enter, the wizard shows up.

"So, how was it?" the wizard asked, "Where's the broom?"

"Your greatness," Chiyo bowed, presenting the broom, "We have the Wicked Witch of West's broom. Can you now grant our wishes?"

"While you five managed to do my impossible task," the wizard answered, "My answer is still: no."

The group was dumbfounded by the wizard's answer, but Mr. Tadakichi sees a curtain. He walked to the curtain and bites on it, tugging it so hard that he yanked the curtain out, revealing the wizard's true identity: A floating orange stuffed cat.

"Oi! Pay no to the talking stuffed cat behind the curtain!" The wizard warned, but it was too late.

The four girls were shocked at the real identity of the wizard.

"So all of this time, we were taking requests from a plushie!" the tin woman shouted.

"I'm sorry that I lied about my identity," the plushie explained, "but I'll try my best to grant all of your wishes."He floated towards the scarecrow first. "You, scarecrow, may think that you're dumb, but your plan to defeat the witch was brilliant! For your cleverness, I give you a diploma."

The stuffed cat handed the scarecrow a black tube containing a diploma. Excited, the scarecrow grabbed the tube. "Ha! Now I feel smarter than before!" she said.

Then the plushie floated towards the tin woman. "You, tin woman, may feel no emotions, but you're quite the emotional person."

"So, where's my gift?" the tin woman asked.

"Oh, your gift is in you," the wizard said, putting his noodly arm on the tin woman's chest. He then opens her chest, revealing a biomechanical heart inside.

"So dad didn't forget about my heart," the tin woman said, shedding her first tears in years.

Then the plushie floated towards the yamapikarya. "Iriomote Cat, your lack of confidence caused you to believe that you don't have any courage. But your bravery in face of danger has earned you this medal of honor." He gave the yamamaya a golden medal.

Finally, the plushie floated towards Chiyo-chan and Mr. Tadakichi.

"Mr. Wizard, are you going to take me and Mr. Tadakichi home?" Chiyo asked, but all of the sudden, the plushie started to float up. "You must venture forth to seek a way home," he said, "But you've got a ways to go before you will, though."

"But how do I-" Chiyo said.

"Do not ask me, for I do not know!"

In an instant, the wizard disappeared.

"Welp, that was pointless," the scarecrow said.

Chiyo-chan started to get teary-eyed when a pink bubble floated down and popped, revealing to be Glinda.

"Oh, Ah forget to tell ya that if ya click the heels of the ruby slippers and say the words 'There's no place like home' three times, ya can go back to yer home," Glinda said to Chiyo.

"THEN WHY DIDN'T TELL HER AT THE BEGINNING?!" The scarecrow and woman questioned.

"... Ah forgot about that little detail," Glinda responded, and everybody face-faults to the ground. "But Chiyo-chan must say goodbye to y'all ."

"So I guess I'm never going to see you guys again," Chiyo said, having tears in her eyes.

"Chiyo-chan, even though we'll never see each other again…" the yamapikarya said.

"We're going to be in your heart!" the scarecrow added.

"And you're going be in ours." the tin woman continued.

Chiyo-chan hugs her friends before she walks away with Mr. Tadakichi, click the heels of the ruby slippers, and says the magic words:

"There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home!"

Chiyo was laying in her bedroom sleeping, with Mr. Tadakichi licking her face. When she woke up, she sees Sakaki, Tomo, and Kagura.

"Chiyo-chan, are you okay?" Sakaki asked.

"I'm okay, Miss Sakaki," Chiyo replied, putting her hand on her forehead, "I had the weirdest dream where Mr. Tadakichi and I were in another world, and you were there, Miss Sakaki. And you were there, Miss Kagura. And you were-"

"Am I in your dream, Chiyosuke?" Tomo asked.

"Tomo-chan, you were there as well!"

"At least you're okay after the wind gust slammed you on a tree trunk," Kagura noted.

"I thought it was a typhoon."

"Chiyosuke, have you been talking with Osaka lately?" Tomo asked.

"No, Tomo-chan, no," Chiyo answered. But as she got out of bed, she noticed the ruby slippers on her feet.

"Whoa, Chiyo-chan, where did you get those shoes?" Kagura asked.

"Yeah, Chiyo-chan, for you to have those ruby-encrusted slippers, you gotta win the game of life-no the universe!" Tomo added.

"I don't know how I got them," Chiyo replies.

As Sakaki, Tomo, and Kagura leave the bedroom, Chiyo removes the slippers on her feet and looks at them. "Maybe my trip to Oz was real all along," Chiyo thought, "Maybe it wasn't a dream."

...And on that day, Rachel wrote an ending so ambiguous that the readers must interpret. Some say that Chiyo's journey through Oz was real, others say it was just Osaka's dream. Still, others say- Ok I should stop that already. And now, it's time for the... SHOUTOUT! Today's shoutout goes to... (drumroll please) JAMES BIRDSONG! Thanks, dude for the reviews. Without them, I wouldn't continue doing this fic. So, see y'all in the next fic!

So read, and review!
