I DON'T OWN!
Enjoy!
Lil and Kimi had found Scarecrow and were on their way down the yellow brick road.
"I'm hungry." Lil said. Both Kimi and Lil stopped when they saw the apple trees. They were about to grab some when the tree talked.
"Hey! What are you doing?" It asked in a patronizing way.
"Oh well we were hungry and we saw the apples and did you speak?" Lil said. Kimi backed up a bit and Scarecrow advanced.
"Come on Lil, we don't need any of those apples." He told her, shepherding her away from the tree.
"What do you mean those apples?" The tree asked in an angry voice, narrowing it's weird bark eyes at them.
"You know those apples, the ones that have green worms." He said matter-of-factly. The tree attacked them angrily. Scarecrow and Lil hurriedly backed away and Kimi hid behind Scarecrow.
"What are you doing?" Lil asked in an angry whisper.
"I'm getting you apples." Scarecrow said. He blew a raspberry at the trees and all the trees threw apples at the trio.
Lil followed a couple of apples off the path and found something.
"Uh… Kimi." She said. Kimi followed her voice and the two stood in front of a girl made of tin.
"It's a tin girl." Lil whispered. Scarecrow found them trying to figure out what she was saying.
"Ool cnn." She said, but they couldn't understand her. She repeated it twice more before Lil understood.
"Oil can!" Lil exclaimed triumphantly. She found it and started to oil all her hinges. The tin girl tested them all, bending this way and that, testing her jaw and her neck.
"How did you get like this?" Lil asked her when she seemed content with her state.
"Well, about a year ago, I was chasing this kid off my property and suddenly it began to rain, and right when I lifted my arms to chase him away, I rusted." She told them without emotion. Lil and Kimi were horrified though.
"Well your fine now." Lil assured her, or, tried to.
"Right, fine. Bang on my chest. I dare you." Lil did and it echoed.
"It is empty. The tins man forgot to give me a heart." Lil and Kimi looked even more horrified.
"No heart?!" They asked at the same time.
"None." She told them, still no emotion.
"Don't expect me to sing or nothing." She told them with a snap, the first emotion she showed, and it was negative.
"Nope. Hey we're going to the Wizard. You can come and ask him for a heart." Lil told her, hoping that the girl could get what she wanted.
"All right." She said after a minute or two of silence, "I'll go find this so-called wizard. But if he can't get me a heart then I will punch his lights out." She told them before punching her own hand, to get her point across no doubt.
And the quartet went on their way.
I hope you like it!
