Randomness the fourth: We're Not Munchkins!
Merry and Pippin had been walking down the road they had woken up on for some time when they saw someone walking ahead of them in the distance. Breaking into a run they both began waving their arms and shouting. Eventually the person heard them and turned around to reveal that she was a girl in a blue dress with ruby red slippers and a small black dog. The dog began barking immediately.
"Oh, are you munchkins?" the girl asked politely. Pippin turned to Merry in confusion.
"What's a munchkin?" he asked.
"I don't know" Merry said and then turned to the girl, "but we're not munchkin's, we're hobbits. Do you know where we are?"
"Oh, are you not from here either?" the girl asked.
"No, we're from The Shire," Pippin stated proudly.
"Well, I'm Dorothy and I'm from Kansas," she said, "and this is my dog Toto. This is the land of Oz. I was brought here by a tornado."
"I'm Merry and this is my cousin Pippin," Merry introduced them, "and I'm not sure how we got here."
"Well I'm going to see the wizard to see if he can send me home. You can come too if you like." The hobbits looked at each other and shrugged.
"Alright," they said together. They began walking and Pippin couldn't help but notice the way the sun sparkled off Dorothy's shoes.
"Those are some very pretty shoes," he commented.
"Why thank you," Dorothy smiled. "I got them from the witch my house fell on." Pippin paled.
"Merry," he whispered, "did you hear that? She killed someone with her house!"
Merry just shrugged. "Eh, we've traveled with worse."
