Sorry that I only continue writing now, but I had problems with my computer. Today's song goes with the melody of 'If I only had a brain'. Enjoy and review, please.
At first, the situation of Dorothy and Leo seemed to improve. They reached the end oft he forest and stepped out onto a wide grasland. Snowdrops and buttercups bloomed, and red poppies edged a small stream. It looked beautiful. So beautiful that they decided to rest there for a few minutes. Dorothy took some apples of a tree for lunch and lied down next to Leo. She looked to the sky and saw how it got darker and darker, until the first stars began to shine. But, wait. The stars?
"Leo, it is much too late!"
"Hmm?"
"We wanted to look for somebody who could send me home, didn't we? But all we did was liying here and relaxing. Is that not strange?"
"Hmm?"
„Leo, are you listening to me at all? I walk on."
Dorothy stood up. Leo watched her lazy, but after some time he decided to follow her. At least she cared about him, something he could not even say about his own family. Together, they walked farther into the grasland on the Red Brick now and then, Dorothy still felt the desire to lay down, but she thought it was only because of the time of day, or night. That she had already slept around noon, when she had arrived in Oz, never crossed her mind.
In the moonshine, Dorothy saw a strange shadow at once. It was a girl sitting there, a girl with the wings of a butterfly. It braided its hair and sang quietly.
Lily
I could play away the hours,
Enjoy the smell of flowers,
And no need to pretend,
To pretend that I was cheerful,
Nevermore I would be fearfulI,
If I only had a friend.
I would laugh and play a game
With someone who feels the same.
Time I would gladly spend.
Dorothy became sad when she heard these words. She could not imagine being lonely for so long, not even in such a wonderful place. To not scare the girl, she continued her song.
Dorothy
We could swim or ride our bike,
Dance ballet, go for a hike,
If you only were my friend.
Lily
Oh, I
could tell you why
I sit here all alone
Heard my prediction then told me to be gone,
The man who sits on our throne.
Or I could sing and dance all day
I could laugh the day away
Tell tales with happy-ends.
I would play and be merry,
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If you only were my friend.
"I am Dorothy, and I am looking for somebody who could bring me back home. This is Toto, my dog. And Leo accompanies us because his parents did not accept a Black Leopard as their son."
„Oh, they are stupid! My name is Lily, and I used to live with the Good Witch of the South. I was her advisor, because I can see into the future. But I knew no way to help her when I saw that the Dark Wizard would overthrow her. He hijacked her, but I do not think that she is dead. If we could find her I am sure that she would bring you home."
"And this Dark Wizard banned you?"
Lily nodded. But all her memoryies seemed to be very vague, she did not even remember if he had banned her for a certain phrophecy he did not like or just because she refused to work for him.
"Lily, have you ever tried to leave this place? Dorothy and Ihave felt very lazy and unmotivated to walk around here, we even forgot the time. Maybe a spell should ensure that nobody meets you here. But if we were able to move on, why should you stay? And maybe your memories will even return when you come home."
Lily said that she would have never thought of it herself, but she agreed with Leo that it was worth a try.
