Author's note: thank you for such a kind review, insectlover. Now I have the confidence to continue.
"Wow" Dorothy thought."How can I make a choice like this? I love my family but I also love my friends.Either way, I don't think I'll be as lonely as I was."
All of them just sat in silence for a few minutes, but it felt like forever.
"Well, enough of just our thoughts filling the room, let's continue our rejoicing, I'm sure Ozma will be thrilled to see you." Nick Chopper broke the silence.
"Yes, that sounds delightful, but I'm still in my nightgown." Dorothy reminded.
"Don't worry about that, I had the best dresses ordered for you, they should be in your dresser by now." Scarecrow insured Dorothy."but before we do anything,
I say we have breakfast first, for those of us who can eat of course."
And what a meal it was, French toast, gritts which was one of Dorothy's favorite dish,bacon and eggs served in every way, food filled the table. The Lion was drooling over the heaveny meal.
"Hey, how come you never invited me to eat?" Lion whined.
"I was afraid you'd get too fat to get out." Crow teased.
After breakfast, Dorothy went up to change, and ndeed the dresses were the finest she had ever seen, hesatating to put on a dress that looked a little like the one she wore last time she was here, but it was silk had jewels in the lace triming, and a blue ribbon around the waist. She felt it was too good for her, but after trying it on, She felt like a movie star.
When she came down, Scarecrow felt the world freeze for a moment.
"Shall we go now?" Lion asked the room.
"Yes, I think we're ready." Scarecrow snapped out of his thoughts.
"I'm afraid I can't join you, I have a very busy schedule." With that Glinda gave Dorothy a kiss on her forehead like she did when Dorothy was going on the brick road.
"How many days do you think it will take to get to Ozma's palace?" Dorothy asked trying to think what she might need on the trip.
"Only a few hours." Tinman snickered.
"Dorothy, from what you told us about automobiles, We found it would be easier with that kind of transportation."Scarecrow explained.
Dorothy couldn't help but laugh when she saw Scarecrow get in the driver's seat.
"I suppose you have a license to drive?"
" What's a license?" He asked.
"You have drove this before,Right?" Dorothy now getting a little nervous.
"Nope. Everyone get in or stay here." Scarecrow said cheerfully.
"Lion, stay still you're gonna break the car...Hey, you're shedding that's gonna be hard to get out." Tinman said like a child.
Dorothy sat in the front seat, amazed to find Scarecrow was a pretty good driver for a beginer.
"Hey, Scarecr...."
"Please, call me Crow, that's what everyone is calling me."
"Ok, Crow..How did ya learn to drive so smoothly,Uncle Henry's afraid of getting into the truck when I'm driving." Thinking about all the dents that she put on it.
"I guess it came with the brains." Sniffing (in my stories Tin and crow have senses) something that smeled alful.
"DEAR GOD, Who delt it!" Nick yelled in disgust. Dorothy gaging, and Crow holding his breath, and Lion just sitting there with a smirk.
" That's what you get for commenting a "fat" lion when he's shedding"
"Now that's why I don't let you eat at my place, gonna kill someone with that stomach power." Crow started to laugh.
"Anyway,Nick..Did you ever get married to that munchkin girl?" Dorothy wondered if He got What he really got his heart for.
"Not yet, we're trying to catch up on old times."
"Lion, how 'bout you, are you the "fearsom king" you wanted to be?" Her accent catching up to her.
"You bet, but I also like to be a little generous, I remember how it felt to be afraid."
"What about you,Crow,are you happy with you're brains?"
"I guess."
That wasn't the answer she was expecting, but people can be a little unhappy once they get what they want, for there's nothing else to look forward to.Perhaps this was the case with Crow Dorothy pondered.
"Here we are."
After several hours of laughing and sharing it was time to go, Dropping off the lion and and Nick. It was very quiet on the ride home.
"Are ya ok?" Dorothy looked at Crow."You've been quiet all day."
"I'm fine, just a little worn out by all the comotion." He lied." But what was I supposed to say" he thought after Dorothy went to bed. "How can I tell her when I first saw her today today that my brain produced emotions I couldn't identify?
Or the want to beg her to stay with here forever? But I want her to make her own choice. Man, I didn't know brains could think different thoughts at the same time."
