The group went through the staff entrance and got their first look at the Sapphire City itself.

Scarecrow: Ooooh... It's like a big 'ol mall! It's so blue and pretty!

Dib: Wow! They must have used some really advanced science to build this place! Look at it!

Tin Girl: Yeah, sure. Let's find this wizard already.

As Dib made a note in his Paranormalists' Jounal, a hoverscreen came up to the group.

Hoverscreen Guy: Hello, travellers! Welcome to the Sapphire City! Is it your first time in our great town?

Scarecrow: Oooh!

The scarecrow jumped up and tried to grab the hoverscreen, which narrowly dodged the attack.

Hoverscreen Guy: Uh, well, I'll take that as a 'yes'... follow me.

They followed the hoverscreen into a small building that said 'Guest Welcoming Center'. After the whole group had made it inside, the hoverscreen turned towards them.

Hoverscreen Guy: We give all our new visitors the grand tour of the wonderful Sapphire City, built by the mysterious Wizard of Ak himself!

Tin Girl: Can you just take us to the wizard now?

Hoverscreen Guy: Nope. But don't worry, the tour is loads of fun! You'll get to see all the wonders of...

Tin Girl: Is there singing?

Hoverscreen Guy: Yes. Yes there is.

Tin Girl, Dib, and Lion: Aw...

Scarecrow: Whoo hoo!

Hoverscreen Guy: Well, without further ado, let us begin!

In the Great Sapphire City
Hoverscreen Guy: La de da, Hi de ho,
You guys all should now come with me,
To see the wonders that I'll show,
In the great Sapphire City!

We achieve quite a lot,
With our advanced technology!
Because of it, no one's distraught,
In the great Sapphire City!

A few citizens, dressed entirely in blue, came and escorted the quintet out of the room and into the city. The hoverscreen followed them.

Citizens: You can buy a new wardrobe at our great store.
We have theme parks too,
And attractions galore.
Never a bore!

The citizens led the reluctant group into the 'Ak Attack Beauty Salon'.

And before you have gone,
We will make you look so pretty,
In our avant garde beauty salon,
In the great Sapphire City!

Ha, Ha, Ha, Ho, Ho, Ho!
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!
We will leave with this short ditty...
With a la la la, and la de da...
In the great Sapphire City!

The citizens and hoverscreen left, leaving the group in the salon. Each person, except the chihuahua, who followed Dib, was taken to a chair.

Scarecrow's Attendants: We will now clean your face,
So you never will look gritty.
Scarecrow: Yay! Now I look just like an ace!
Attendants and Scarecrow: In the great Sapphire City!

Tin Girl's Attendants: We will polish your skin,
And soon you will be so shiny!
You'll look like silver, and not tin!
In the great Sapphire City!

Dib's Attendants: We can make your hair look nice
Quite easily.
Dib: Can you just leave me alone
And let it be?
Attendants: Nuh-uh!
Dib: But, can't you see...

The attendants ignored Dib and started working on his hairdo. Meanwhile, attendants curled the lion's mane and even put a bow in it, but he seemed to be oblivious.

Lion's Attendants: We will now trim your mane,
And make you look so witty.
And we'll end it all with this refrain,
In the great Sapphire City!

The scarecrow got out of his chair and began dancing around.

Scarecrow: La de da, Hi de ho,
La de doo dee doh!
I know that I will love it here,
In the great Sapphire City!

I know that I will love it here,
And a la de da!
Doo dee doh!
Whee he hee, he ha!
Dum de doh!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Everyone stared at the scarecrow for a second. He shut up.

Everyone: In the great Sapphire City!

Dib: Alright, now that we went on their tour, maybe we can go to the Wizard of Ak!

Scarecrow: Aw, you look so pretty!

Dib turned around to notice the lion and tin girl laughing hysterically. Upon finding a nearby mirror, he looked and found that the people of the salon had styled his hair, giving it a 'Jackie O' look. Turning red, he quickly brushed his hair back into a semblance of its regular style.

Dib: Okay, you can stop laughing now!

Lion: Hmm... I guess I could. But I think I won't! Here I go!

The lion and tin girl continued to laugh.

Dib: You don't look so great yourself. Who ever heard of a 'mighty king of the forest' with a bow in his hair, anyway?

Lion: Bow? What is this bow?

Dib: Hehe... never mind.

Scarecrow: Ooh... look up there!

The four of them, along with everyone else in the Sapphire City, looked up at the sky. The witch was writing a message in the clouds with her broomstick. It read:

SURRENDER DIB
TO HIS
DOOM DOOM
DOOM DOOM
DOOM DOOM
DOOM DOOM...

Dib: She has got to be really dizzy by now...

At the sight of the message, the whole city began panicking and running towards the Wizard of Ak's chief security guard, who was standing in front of the Wizard's palace.

Person: Let us in to see the wizard!

The guard shook his head.

Guard: Nobody can see the wizard. But rest easy, for I am on the job! I will make sure that the city and its citizens are safe, not to mention the fine shopping facilities. All shall slumber well with...

By that time, everyone had fled, with the exception of Dib and his companions. Dib slowly approached the guard.

Dib: Please let us in!

Guard: Nobody can see the Wizard of Ak! It is my sworn duty to keep...

Dib: But I'm Dib!

Guard: Dib? The witch's Dib? Surrender-Dib-to-his-doom-doom-doom-doom-doom-doom-doom-doom Dib?

Dib, exasperated: Yes...

Guard: Well, that makes a difference! I will announce you right away!

With that, the guard went into the palace.
