Disclaimer-I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! or 'The Wizard Of Oz'. L. Frank Baum owns 'The Wizard Of Oz', plus he's
dead, and I'm not that disrespectful enough to take that from him. Also, I'd be one rich Japanese dude if
I owned Yu-Gi-Oh!, but I'm not Japanese or a dude. And another thing- I'm not stealing Jolly Leperachaun's
idea, I thought of it a while ago, but never really wrote it until now. Also, the plot is very different
from her's as well. So please don't sue me.
Characters-
Dorothy-Anzu(she's basicly the only girl in the show, except for Mai, so I had to give her that part)
Toto-Buddy(Jou shouldn't always play the dog, so I made up one, and pretending it's Anzu's dog. :P)
Glenda the good witch of the north-Ryou(light vs dark)
Wicked Witch of the West-Bakura(Yami Bakura, and he's gotta play the bad guy)
Cowardly Lion-Jou(he acts all tough like Jou, but they're both just soft and squishy on the inside ^^)
Scarecrow-Yugi(can't you just imagine him as a giddy little scarecrow? ^^)
Tin Man-Honda(now I get to rust him up whenever I feel like it, mwahaha)
Pharaoh of Oz-Yami(well, you we gotta put him there)
All of those creepy guard dudes in Emerald City-Seto Kaiba(gotta give him a part in here somewhere ^^)
~Chapter 3~
Yami's mouth hung open in horror as he stared ahead into the old and mucky shed. There was Buddy, Anzu's
puppy that Yugi had bought her, standing over Anzu's lifeless body. Buddy was fine, minus the sad expression
that played across it's face, and the small whimpers that escaped it's mouth. But, Anzu wasn't so lucky. She
was on the ground, lying on back, arms and legs sprawled out, and her head sdeways on the ground, a small pool
of blood forming underneath it. Nearby, was the window that had hit her, with pieces of broken glass all around
it, and small specks of blood all over it.
'Oh, no,' Yami thought gravely, and then whispered out loud, "Anzu. Oh Ra. What happened to her?" He laid Yugi
back on the ground, and ran towards Anzu. "Anzu," he whispered again. He checked her pulse. It was pretty faint,
but was still there. Yami had to hold his hand on her wrist for a half a minute to finally be able to detect it.
"Oh...Ra...your worse off than Aibou..." Yami gritted his teeth, feeling a wave of fustration crash on to him.
"I've got to help her. But...what about Yugi? I don't think I can carry both of them," He growled lowly, "Oh, Ra,
what the hell am I suppose to do?!" He covered his hand with his hands, closing his eyes tightly. "Help."
"Oh my god, what happened here?! Look at Anzu's house...!"
Yami's crimson-violet eyes snapped open, after hearing the voice. "Jou?" Yami pulled his hands away from his head,
and stood up. "JOU?" he yelled out.
"...Yami?" he heard the faint calling of Jou once more, making Yami smile a bit in relief. "Where are you?"
"In here!" Yami shouted back, taking a few steps forward to the rickity old door of the shed. He put his hand in
front of him to open it, when it suddenly swung open, and startled Yami a little. But the small bit of fear was
soon replaced with somewhat happy relief when he saw Jou in the doorway.
"What happened here? Where's Yug? And Anzu?" Jou asked in a bit more demanding tone than intended.
Yami frowned a little bit. His small rare smile faded away, which was replaced by a sad sigh. "Aibou is...hurt.
So's Anzu. The tornado came here, and destroyed almost everything. Yugi put Anzu and her dog in this shed to protect
her, but wasn't able to get into it himself. He got swept up by the tornado and...landed in the cellar of Anzu's
neighbour. His arm looks broken, and he's unconscious. I'm not quite sure what happened to Anzu, but she's
unconscious, too." Yami looked down at the ground, "I failed him. I wasn't there to protect them, and I should have
been."
Jou's expression was almost unreadable- fear and horror-stricken for Anzu and Yugi, yet somewhat sympathetic for Yami.
"It's not your fault, Yami," he said his voice shaking a little, "It couldn't have been helped. These things happen
all around da world, and there's always at least one person who wish they coulda made a difference. And right now,
we CAN make a difference, by saving Yug and Anzu." Jou narrowed his eyes in determination at his last sentence, staring
down at his slightly shorter friend.
Yami looked up at Jou, and his expression of sadness quickly switched to his smug self, with a hint of concern still in
it, though. "Your right, Jou. What's right now is to save Aznu and Yugi." Yami pointed at the two lying unconscious, and
Anzu's dog who was now lying down next to it's master. "They're over there. How about you carry Aznu, and I'll carry Yugi?"
Jou nodded, but then grimaced after looking at Anzu and Yugi's conditions, "Damn, they're really banged up. We have ta
get them to a hospital, FAST."
Yami nodded. Picking up Yugi and cradling him a bit, Yami suddenly asked, "By the way, how'd you know a tornado blew by
here? I'm betting it only came through this part of town, and you're on the other side of it!"
Jou smiled a bit playfully, after bringing Anzu in his arms, "You're right, it missed me. But, I saw on da television a
tornado warning for east Domino City, and got worried. I knew dat Anzu lived there, and Yugi was heading ta her house, so I
went ta check up on them, or at least warn them 'bout it. I guess I was a little late, though, eh?"
Yami nodded a bit, rolling his eyes a little. "Um, ya," Yami then chuckled quietly to himself. Yami was starting to be glad
that mankind had evolved somewhat after the past melennia after all, being Egypt's former pharaoh and all, if you know what I
mean...
"Follow the yellow brick, follow the yellow brick road..." Anzu hummed to herself, skipping along the yellow brick road, Buddy
still up in her arms. Anzu had been walking/skipping along to brick road towards Emerald City for a while now, and had realized
that those munchkins had made they're little 'tune stuck inside of her head after singing it for a while. After thinking for a
while, Anzu had decided that instead of claiming to be insane and dragging herself to the crazy house after witnessing everything
so far, she should just grin and bare the song. Heck, maybe even sing it. Hey, if you can't beat 'em, you might as well join 'em.
"Follow the yellow--" Anzu was cut off after bumping into something hard and wooden, and falling flat on her back, Buddy flying
from her arms, and landing safely beside her. "Ow!" she squealed, and squinting her eyes open. She hadn't realized that her eyes
were closed, either. Before her, was a big wooden fence, going around in two directions.
One down the yellow brick road...
...The other ALSO down the yellow brick road.
"Just what I need-- a crossroad," Anzu grumbled, standing back up. She looked down both ways, and frowned. "Now which way do I go?"
"Pardon me, Ma'am, that way looks pleasant." came a voice from nowhere.
Anzu looked around. No one was there. "That's funny, I thought I heard someone."
Buddy suddenly began to bark a bit, his small headed directed to the middle of the crossroad. Anzu looked down at the puppy, then
towards where Buddy was looking. There, on a long poll, was a small scarecrow, in the middle of a corn field. A pretty small one,
actually. He had violet eyes, and a black hat over top multi-coloured straw, and a scarecrow's suit on him, straw sticking out of his
chest and around his hands. There in the middle of his suit, where a button was suppose to be, was a shape of a small golden eye. Anzu
knew she had seen it before, but wasn't sure from where. She shrugged it off, and noticed that one of his arms was pointed towards her
left.
"That's just a scarecrow; they don't talk!" muttered Anzu to herself. Of course, at this point, not much would surprise her. A witch was
after her, she had ruby slippers, and munchkins sticking evil little songs in her head. Not to mention she was walking down the yellow
brick road to see a Pharaoh.
"But that way is ALSO a good way to go," The scarecrow's arm suddenly fell to his side, and his other arm pointed down the other road. His
expression never changed from a nonchalant one, but there was a small smile always planted on his face that should ask otherwise.
Anzu blinked a few times in disbelief. Anzu pinched herself once more, and winced a bit. Nope, still there. She wasn't imagining this. 'I
thought nothing could surprise me at this point..!'
"Of course, people DO go both ways!" The scarecrow's arms crossed over each other, and pointed down both roads.
Anzu's mouth flew open, and Buddy let out another small bark at the scarecrow. "I'm...not dreaming!" she gaped, "You DID talk, didn't you?"
Anzu stepped over the fence, and towards the scarecrow, Buddy crawling after her.
The scarecrow shook his head sharply in somewhat denial. But, then paused, and a huge cheery grin spread across his face, and nodded eagerly.
"Yup, yup!"
Anzu cocked an eyebrow, "You're REALLY strange. You can't even tell if you TALKED or not? Don't you have a brain?"
The scarecrow's smile faded slightly, but continued to do so, "Well, you got my problem on the money. I DON'T have a brain. Only straw," He
sighed dramaticly, and lifted his hat a little showing more multi-coloured straw underneath it.
"Sorry to hear that, mister," Anzu said sympathicly.
"No need to call me 'mister'!" he suddenly chirped cheerfully, "You can just call me scarecrow! What's your name?"
"Anzu."
"That's pretty. Or beautiful. Or...well, you get the picture."
Anzu giggled a little, covering her mouth with her hand. Scarecrow started to laugh a bit with her, but then suddenly cringed in pain.
"What's the matter?" Anzu asked, looking up.
"Ugh, it's this stupid pole!" he winced, "It's hurts to have this thing up your back all day, you know!"
"Maybe I can help, then," Anzu walked behind him, as he said, "That's nice of you, Anzu. I'm not sure, but I think there's a nail back there.
Maybe if you bend it I'll slip off, and--wow!" Scarecrow slid off the pole, and fell onto the ground, after Anzu pulled the nail down. Buddy barked
a little, backing up a bit from him.
"Are you OK?" Anzu asked, running in front of him.
"I'm fine!" exclaimed Scarecrow. He looked around himself, and saw some stray straw scattered everywhere. He grinned a bit, then stuffed it back in
his chest.
"Um, wouldn't that hurt?"
"Nope, not at all!" smiled Scarecrow, getting up. For the first time, Anzu realized that Scarecrow was shorter than he first thought. He was REALLY
short, just barely up to her waist. "Wow, it's good to be--free!" As he said free, he spun around, and ended up tripping over a piece of wood. Anzu
screamed a little in shock, and ran back in front of him.
Sitting back up, Scarecrow asked with concern hinted in his voice, "Did I scare you?"
"Um, no, not really. I was just...surprised,"
His smile faded a bit, but it was still noticable, "Well, I hope not. But, it's also my job to scare stuff, like crows, and I can't even scare them!"
He made a bit of a pouty face, "But, I'm not sure of what else to do with my life. And it's all because I don't have a brain!"
"Well, what would you do if you had a brain?" asked Anzu. As soon as she said that, she somehow knew that he'd end up singing. She mentally sighed.
'Well, I might as well just grin and bare it..'
And she was right.
Scarecrow:
I could find out everything,
As a squire for a king,
And see what it would bring.
And my head I'd be a scratching,
With my plans a busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel every riddle
For any individ'le
In trouble or in pain.
Anzu smiled, and stood up with Scarecrow in her arms.
Anzu:
With your thoughts all in twine,
You could be another Einstein,
If you only had a brain.
Anzu let Scarecrow down.
Scarecrow:
Oh, I could tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
I could think of things I never thought before,
And then I'd sit --
Scarecrow did a cartwheel, and landed in a sitting position.
Scarecrow:
--and think some more.
I would not be just a nuffin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain.
Scarecrow got up, and placed is hands on her heart. He then did a backflip.
Scarecrow:
I would dance and be so giddy--
Scarecrow ran towards Anzu, and jumped, landing her arms.
Anzu:
And even sing to a diddy,
If you only had a brain!
Scarecrow grinned widely at Anzu, as she let him down. Scarecrow looked up at her, and giggled a little. Once he got her full attention, he did three
backflips, jumped into the air and spun, and did a cartwheel towards her, landing hard onto his feet. He spread his arms and legs out, doing a shape
of an 'X'. He grin faded a little, as his legs gave way, doing a split.
Scarecrow:
Gosh, it would be so very cool,
To win almost every duel,
And every other game.
Maybe then I'll find my way,
So here I shant have to stay,
If I only had a brain!
Anzu ran up to Scarecrow as he fell on his back, his legs still in a split. She stood him up straight, and gave him some of his straw that fell out.
"Geese, you people in Oz love to sing!" Anzu exclaimed, as Scarecrow put the straw up his left leg.
"Well, I wouldn't really know that much, since I've never seen any other people from Oz. I guess it in our blood, or straw. Whatever. But arn't you from
Oz?" Scarecrow explained, then looked up at Anzu in a questioning matter.
"Well, no. I'm actually from Domino City, in Japan."
"Where's that?"
"I'm not sure, since I'm not quite sure WHERE Oz is it's self. But I'm off to see the Pharaoh, so he can get me home."
"Your going to see the Pharaoh?...Um, do you think that he could give me a brain?"
"Well, I guess so, if he can get me home."
"Well, can I come with you then? Please? I won't be any trouble, cross my stuffin'!" Scarecrow looked up at Anzu with big wet violet eyes, that could even
melt a polar ice cape.
Anzu smiled at him. "Of course I will, Yugi!"
"Yugi? Who's Yugi?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry. Yugi's...my boyfriend from Japan."
"Well, why'd you call me Yugi?"
"I don't know, I guess it's that...well, you remind me a lot of him. Besides being a scarecrow, you look a lot like him. And you act a lot like him, also."
"But, I know I'm not Yugi. Because if I was Yugi, I wouldn't be Scarecrow, and if I wasn't Scarecrow, I would be me! Ow, my head hurts. See why I need a brain?"
"I saw that already, Scarecrow. Well, anyway, like I said, you can come with me and Buddy, my dog."
Scarecrow grinned, jumping up, "Hooray! We're off to see that Pharaoh!" As soon as Scarecrow landed, he started to stumble a bit. Anzu held onto him, until he was
standing up straight. He smiled sheepishly.
"To Oz?"
"To Oz!" Holding onto Anzu's hand, Scarecrow and Anzu started to skip down the right road, forgetting that she didn't know which way to go, with Buddy close behind
them, as they hummed, "We're off to see the Pharoah!"

"I'm not sure, since I'm not quite sure WHERE Oz is it's self. But I'm off to see the Pharaoh, so he can get me home."
"Your going to see the Pharaoh?...Um, do you think that he could give me a brain?"
"Well, I guess so, if he can get me home."
"Well, can I come with you then? Please? I won't be any trouble, cross my stuffin'!" Scarecrow looked up at Anzu with big wet violet eyes, that could even
melt a polar ice cape.
Anzu smiled at him. "Of course I will, Yugi!"
"Yugi? Who's Yugi?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry. Yugi's...my boyfriend from Japan."
"Well, why'd you call me Yugi?"
"I don't know, I guess it's that...well, you remind me a lot of him. Besides being a scarecrow, you look a lot like him. And you act a lot like him, also."
"But, I know I'm not Yugi. Because if I was Yugi, I wouldn't be Scarecrow, and if I wasn't Scarecrow, I would be me! Ow, my head hurts. See why I need a brain?"
"I saw that already, Scarecrow. Well, anyway, like I said, you can come with me and Buddy, my dog."
Scarecrow grinned, jumping up, "Hooray! We're off to see that Pharaoh!" As soon as Scarecrow landed, he started to stumble a bit. Anzu held onto him, until he was
standing up straight. He smiled sheepishly.
"To Oz?"
"To Oz!" Holding onto Anzu's hand, Scarecrow and Anzu started to skip down the right road, forgetting that she didn't know which way to go, with Buddy close behind
them, as they hummed, "We're off to see the Pharoah!"

A/N: Somewhat short, but I hoped you liked it. I know I did, Dorothy meeting the Scarecrow was my favourite part of the Wizard of Oz, so I enjoyed writing it. ^^
Also, I do not own the song 'If I Only Had A Brain', but I did change the lyrics a bit to match with the story. ^^
Jade- I thought it was because you didn't like the original version.
Jay- No!...Both. -_-' Why must you bug me about EVERYTHING, Yami?
Jade- 'Cause it's fun. ^^
Jay- -_-' Riiiight. Anyway, please review! I'll get the next chapter out sooner the more reviews I get! ^^
Jade- You just want to praise.
Jay- No!...Both.
