Abby slowly picked herself up off the floor and put her hand to her head, grimacing a little at the pain that had lodged itself at her temple.
"Dean?" she called before coughing "Dean?"
"Over here" he called
She walked over, using the wall to keep her steady to find him at the foot of the stairs, slowly she walked down them "You okay?"
"Yeah" he was now sitting with his back to the wall "You?"
"Hit my head I think" she smiled a little "What the hell happened?"
"No idea" he pulled himself up and dusted himself off wincing slightly "I think we should find Sam"
"After you"
He walked to the front door and slowly pulled it open. His eyes squint at the bright colour that assaulted him. He takes in all of the small, funny looking buildings before throwing his stare to Abby, who like him was mentally trying to figure it out.
"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more" Abby muttered
x---x
"Sam!" Dean yelled "Sam!" he walked out of the door way and around the house "Sam! I swear to god Abby, I'm going to shoot him, no I'm going to kill him and then I'm going to shoot him" he muttered to her as she rushed to keep up "Sam!"
Dean turned back to face her as she stood up from looking at the house where it sat on the ground
"What?" Abby asked as he stared at her a little freaked out a little confused "Dean?"
"Cool your jet's Dorothy" he looked out the corner of his eye "I am going insane"
"I get that we're standing in our very own Oz, but Dorothy? Seriously?"
"Well what did you want me to call you Abs? I mean I never took you for a gingham and pinafore kind of gal"
"What are you talking about?" Abby asked
Dean grabbed her hand and pulled her to a dark window "This is what I'm talking about" he made her look at their reflection
"Holy crap" Abby exclaimed staring at herself now void of jeans and shirt, replaced by a blue gingham dress with pristine white pinafore and "Pigtails?"
"You look cute" Dean flicked one
"I'm freaking Dorothy Gale" Abby huffed "Could this get any worse?"
"Honestly, I don't want to wait here and find out. Come on" Dean took her hand and led her out from beside the house onto a brick pavement.
"Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?" a voice asked causing the two of them to jump and turn to their left.
"Excuse me?" Dean questioned a slightly raised eyebrow as he looked at the woman standing dressed in pink frills and a giant sparkling crown
"Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?" she asked again pointing at Abby
"Look lady, we haven't got time for this crap" Dean tugged Abby who stood firm "What?"
"Maybe we have to play along, to get home" she pried his fingers from her hand and stepped to the woman
Dean sighed deeply and walked over standing beside her "You have a plan?"
"I'm trying to remember how the movie goes" Abby admitted
"Are you a good witch or a bad witch?" the woman asked with a little more intensity than before and pointing at Abby
"Me? Not a witch, nope, not at all. I'm Abigail Stevens"
"Oh, well" the woman spoke before looking curiously at Dean, "Is that the witch?"
"That?" Dean glared at Abby
"Who Dean?" Abby asked, ignoring Dean "Dean's my, uh friend. He's my friend"
"Well, I'm a little muddled. The Munchkins called me because a new witch has just dropped a house on the Wicked Witch of the East. And there's the house" she led them around to the side of the building "And here you are, and that's all that's left of the Wicked Witch of the East"
She pointed to the striped legs under the house
"Well that's new" Dean exclaimed
"And so, what the Munchkins want to know, is are you a good witch or a bad witch?"
"I'm not, we're not witches at all" Abby spoke up "I mean witches are nasty and overbearing and"
"What was that?" Dean interrupted
"The Munchkins. They're laughing because I'm a witch. I'm Glinda, the Witch of the North" the now identified Glinda smiled
"Give me a break" Dean muttered receiving Abby's elbow to his ribs
"Of course you are!" Abby smiled "I'm sorry, just every witch I've come across has been, well evil"
"Only bad witches are ugly" Glinda smiled
There was a noise and Dean whipped his attention to some flowers and his eyes widened as Munchkins appeared, causing him to grab Abby's arm.
Suddenly Glinda started singing.
"The Munchkins are happy because you have freed them from the Wicked Witch of the East"
"Freaking Munchkins" Dean mumbled under his breath "I'm going to hunt down Sam and kill him"
"Uh Munchkins huh?" Abby mused
"The little people who live in this land – It's Munchkinland, and you are their national heroine, my dear" she continued "You may all come out and thank her. It's all right now, you may all come out"
Glinda began singing again
"Come out, come out, wherever you are. And meet the young lady who fell from a star"
Glinda led Abby and Dean towards the main part of the small city they were in as she kept singing.
"She fell from the sky, she fell very far. And"
"Kansas" Abby said quickly
"Kansas she says is the name of the star" Glinda smiled
Various Munchkins began moving and appearing "Kansas she says is the name of the star" they sang
"She brings you good news. Or haven't you heard? When she fell out of Kansas, a miracle occurred"
"It really was no miracle. What happened was just this" Abby sang "The wind began to switch, the house began to pitch. And suddenly the hinges started to unhitch. Just then, the witch. To satisfy an itch. Went flying on her broomstick thumbing for a hitch"
Dean stared shocked and questioning Abby "What was that?"
"I like this song" she admitted as the Munchkins continued the singing and dancing "Come on"
Dean followed behind the carriage that Abby was somehow now riding in with Glinda.
"Right make me walk" he huffed as the singing continued "Now I know how that stupid dog felt"
"Let the joyous news be spread" Glinda called loudly "The Wicked Old Witch at last is dead!"
Abby sat smiling and laughing and having fun as the Munchkins continued singing and dancing.
Dean on the other hand was considering grabbing a fence post and jabbing himself in the brain through his eye socket. His mind was already beginning to calculate how hard he'd have to smash his head into it when there was a loud crack.
He was on his feet in a split second beside Abby as the Munchkins ran in fear. He took note of the green witch who stood staring at the striped legs under the house.
Dean looked at Glinda "I thought we were supposed to have killed her"
"That was her sister" Glinda told him "The Wicked Witch of the East. This is the Wicked Witch of the West. And she's worse than the other one was"
"Well that's good to hear" he returned
The witch walked to where Dean stood behind Abby, who stood behind Glinda. He placed a protective hand on Abby's shoulder.
"Who killed my sister?" The witch glared "Who killed the Witch of the East? Was it you? Answer me!"
"Leave her alone" Glinda spoke softly
"You stay out of this! I'm here for vengeance. So, it was you was it? You killed her didn't you?"
"Yes because we purposely made a house land on some green chick" Dean snapped back
"It was an accident" Abby blurted out
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Dean asked her incredulously
"Didn't mean it, eh? Accident, eh? Well my little pretty, I can cause accidents too and this is how I do it" the witch cackled
Aren't you forgetting the ruby slippers?" Glinda asked
"The slippers. Yes, the slippers" The slippers disappeared and the stripped legs started moving back under the house, the witch looked down before turning to look back at the small group "They're gone" she knelt down "The ruby slippers! What have you done with them? Give them back to me or I'll"
"It's too late" Glinda spoke "There they are" she pointed and Abby looked down "And there they'll stay"
"Give me back my slippers" the witch glared "I'm the only one that knows how to use them. They're of no use to you! Give them back to me!"
Glinda looked at Abby "Keep tight inside of them, their magic must be very powerful or she wouldn't want them so badly"
"You stay out of this Glinda or I'll fix you as well" the witch spat
"Oh rubbish" laughed Glinda "You have no power here. Be gone, before somebody drops a house on you too"
"Very well, I'll bide my time, and as for you, my fine lady, it's true I can't attend to you here and now as I'd like, but just try to stay out of my way" the witch pointed her finger "Just try, I'll get you my pretty and your little" she paused and cocked her head "You and your little friend too" she laughed out a cackle and disappeared into a cloud of smoke.
"I swear to god if she had called me a dog I would have shot her" Dean spoke breaking the tension
They followed Glinda down some steps beside a fountain. Dean's hand managing to find Abby's, linking his with hers as they walked.
"What a smell of sulphur!" Glinda exclaimed causing Dean to glance at Abby as she looked at him "I'm afraid you've made rather a bad enemy of the Wicked Witch of the West. The sooner you get out of Oz altogether, the safer you'll sleep my dear"
"I think it's safe to say we'd give anything to get out of Oz, but I know we can't go the way we came" Abby told her
"No, that's true" Glinda nodded "The only person who might know would be the great and wonderful Wizard of Oz himself"
"The Wizard of Oz?" Dean raised an eyebrow in disbelief "He any good?"
"Oh, very good, but very mysterious. He lives in the Emerald City, and that's a long journey from here. Did you bring your broomstick with you?" Glinda asked Abby
"No, I'm afraid I didn't" Abby replied flatly
"Well then you'll have to walk" Glinda announced
Dean sighed loudly "Walking? Well just turn me into the Witch now okay"
"Dean" Abby hissed
"The Munchkins will see you safely to the border of Munchkin land. And remember, never let those ruby slippers off your feet for a moment, or you will be at the mercy of the Wicked Witch of the West"
"So you got directions to this city?" Dean asked
"It's always best to start at the beginning, and all you do is follow the Yellow Brick Road"
"But what happens if" Dean started to talk
"Just follow the Yellow Brick Road" Glinda repeated
Dean grabbed Abby's arm "Hell no" he stated "No way am I skipping like a fairy around that" he signalled to the ground
Abby smiled, patted his cheek and looped her arm through his "Follow the yellow brick road" she stated her eyes taunting him "Follow the yellow brick road?"
As others kept singing the line 'Follow the yellow brick road' Abby had led Dean from the very start around the yellow paved area. Starting to dig her fingers into his arm forcing him to skip along with her as he grimaced in pain. They continued until the Munchkins were out of sight and Dean yanked his arm from hers
"You made me skip Abby" he stated "You know I don't do girly crap like that"
"Yeah because we know that you are unfeeling and uncaring" she retorted "Always pretending that things don't effect you, when we all know they do"
"Yeah that's me, but someone has to keep it together"
"It doesn't always have to be you"
