As Dib, the scarecrow, and the chihuahua reached the forest, the group began to get hungry. Fortunately, there were several apple trees on the side of the road. Dib reached for an apple, but was surprised when the tree started fighting back.
Dib: Hey!
Tree: Now, what do you think you're doing?
Dib: Getting something to eat...
Tree: How'd you like it if someone pulled your hair every time they were hungry? Huh?
Dib: Uh...
Scarecrow: Whee!
The scarecrow had climbed on the tree and had begun to swing on one of the branches.
Tree: Hey you! Get off of there!
Scarecrow: Whee hee! I'm getting dizzy!
The tree resorted to throwing its own apples at the annoying little scarecrow. Several of its fellow trees joined in the effort until they had succeeding in getting the scarecrow down. Dib immediately began to pick up the juciest looking apples.
Dib: Good work!
Scarecrow: Yay! What'd I do?
Dib munched on an apple, while the scarecrow ate all except one. Dib looked at the leftover apple.
Dib: Hmm... I might want to keep this one. Once I'll get back home, I'll probably want to do a scientific study of the talking trees...
Unfortunately, the apple slipped out of Dib's hand and rolled behind a nearby bush. Dib chased it, with the scarecrow and chihuahua close behind him. Upon getting the apple, Dib found something more intriguing. Right in front of him was what appeared to be a girl made entirely from tin. And, even more amazingly, she looked almost like his sister, or at least a metallic version of her. The figure and the video game that she was holding appeared to be completely rusted. Dib found a nearby oil can and began to put the oil on her joints. Meanwhile, the scarecrow ate the final apple. Soon, the tin girl was able to speak.
Tin Girl: What are you doing? Go away!
Dib: You were rusted! If I hadn't done something, you would have been stuck there forever.
Tin Girl: Whatever.
She smirked.
Tin Girl: By the way, nice shoes.
Dib: Hey! The fate of the planet depends on me wearing these! If I...
Tin Girl: Yeah, sure.
Dib: But it's true! Do you think I'd wear these of my own free will?
The tin girl shrugged.
Tin Girl: Well, goodbye.
As Dib and the others left, the tin girl let out a shriek. Dib ran back to her.
Dib: What's wrong?
Tin Girl: What did you do to my game? You will PAY for this!
Dib: B... but it was like that when we got here! It must have rusted at the same time as you.
Tin Girl: I need that game! I cannot live without it!
Dib: But why?
A tune began to play in the background.
Scarecrow: Ooh... I feel a song coming on!
If I Only Had a Game
Tin Girl: I could while away the hours,
As guys with superpowers,
And electronic fame.
Scarecrow: Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo...
The tin girl glared at the scarecrow, who promptly shut up.
Tin Girl: I'd play Olympic Punter,
Or Vampire Piggy Hunter,
If I only had a game.
I could then take out the bad guys,
And cut them all down to size,
In manners far from tame.
And with my alter ego,
All of this would truly be so,
If I only had a game.
See me;
My destiny,
Is to get a high score!
I'll play much better than I ever have before.
And after that, I'll play some more!
I could try to play Parcheesi,
But that makes me uneasy;
It wouldn't be the same.
The only real tonic,
Is a sport that's electronic.
If I only had a game.
Scarecrow: Come with us! We're going to see the Wizard of Ak! He can do everything! He's gonna make me sane, and give the doggie a bone, and shrink his enormous head, and...
Dib: My head's not big! And I'm getting the Wizard to take me home, not shrink my head!
Scarecrow: Oh. Well you really should...
Dib: Enough about my head!
Tin Girl: Heh, maybe you should ask the Wizard to get you a dress to go with those shoes.
Dib: For the last time...
Scarecrow: So will you go with us? Pretty please?
Tin Girl: Fine. But I had better get my game when we get to this Wizard... or you both will regret it.
Scarecrow: Yay!
Before they could leave, the witch appeared on top of a nearby cottage.
Witch: I see you've made some little friends! Well, no matter, you all will be doomed. And that tree over there? Doomed. And that squirrel? Doomed. And that pinecone, right next to that tree? Doomed. And that rock that's shaped like...
Tin Girl: She's not going to go after us, is she?
Dib looked over at the Bitters Witch.
Witch: ...that fish? Doomed. And...
Dib: I don't think so.
Tin Girl: Well, let's hurry up and get my game!
Off to See the Wizard
Dib, Scarecrow and Tin Girl: We're off to see the Wizard,
The Wonderful Wizard of Ak.
He knows a lot about everything,
His mind could not ever lack.
If your mind you ever did try to rack,
To think of his faults, you'd be off track!
Off track, off track, off track, off track, off track!
Because for everything he has a knack!
We're off to see the Wizard,
The Wonderful Wizard of Ak!
As the Bitters Witch continued to prophesize doom, the group, now a quartet, followed the road to the Sapphire city.
