A/N: I'm back! Thanks to everyone who has read and reviewed the last two chapters. Get ready for the adventure ahead!

"Please, sit down," the little munchkin Dedi suggested as they entered her tiny house. Noticing that the tall visitors were growing weary of the party, she had offered to give them a small meal and some quiet time in her and her husband's home.

Sam and Daniel sat in the small chairs, Sam grinning girlishly at the extreme use of lace and frills on them. The chairs barely sat ten inches of the ground and were painted a baby pink. The white lace was wound up each leg, meeting on the seat of the chair where a ribboned doyley had been laid. Jack noticed Sam's expression and she suppressed a small giggle, giving her CO an apologetic look. It was not very often that she revealed her inner feminine child, and Jack was heartily amused. He returned her look with one of distaste, scrunching up his face as he flicked the lace. She grinned again. Daniel rolled his eyes at the two and turned his attention to Dedi.

"You'll have to excuse the mess," Dedi said, noticing Daniel's eyes upon her. "Our's is one of the newest houses in town and we haven't quite finished moving in yet," she said, gesturing to the boxes behind the door.

"How long have you lived here?" Daniel asked.

"We moved in two months ago. Mayor Sajiwara, my husband, was given the finest house in all Munchkinland for his efforts, and so it has only been recently finished. He wanted everyone else to be comfortable first," she explained.

"How…mayor-ish of him." Jack shrugged.

"Yes," Dedi agreed with a proud smile. "He has been a good mayor to the people of Munchkinland since his appointment."

"And when was that?" Daniel asked.

"A little over a year ago, when His Wizardness arrived and segregated the land."

"Segregated?" Daniel asked, uneasily.

"His Wizardness?" Jack piped in.

"Yes," said Dedi. "Before the Great and Powerful Oz came to us from beyond the Rainbow, we all lived haphazardly, intermingled with the Winkies, and the people of the Emerald City."

"Beyond the rainbow?" Daniel asked, getting more and more sceptical.

"Yes," Dedi nodded. "Oz himself named the great ring of Munckinland the Rainbow. He said we should be very proud to have an object of such power in our county."

"Indeed," Teal'c agreed with a polite bow of his head.

"But come, you must be hungry," Dedi said. "I shall bring you food and supplies, you have a long journey ahead of you."

As Dedi left the small room, Jack immediately turned to Daniel.

"So?" he asked, expectantly.

"So…what, Jack?"

"What's going on? What is this place?"

"I believe we were correct in our first assumption, O'Neill, that this is indeed the world of Oz." Teal'c said. "However, it does not appear to have always been so."

"We need to see the Wizard," Daniel said.

"Yeah," Jack said, "Wizard."

"Are you thinking a Goa'uld, sir?" Sam asked.

"These people appear free from slavery," Teal'c disagreed. "It is doubtful that the Goa'uld would treat them with as much kindness as appears to be evident."

"True," Sam concurred. "Then what exactly are we dealing with here?"

"Who knows?" Jack asked, throwing his hands in the air.

"The Wizard knows," Daniel said, obviously

"The Wizard," Sam repeated, shaking her head in disbelief at the thought.

"So," Jack said, grinning," I guess we're off to see the Wizard."

"The wonderful Wizard of Oz," Teal'c finished majestically, causing the three others to stare at him once again. There was a somewhat long-winded silence before Jack spoke.

"Ya know, T, we really need to get you a Gameboy…or a…tennis racquet or something,"

"I am already in possession of both of those items, O'Neill," Teal'c said, bowing his head in thanks for the offer.

"I think he means you…ah…need to get a life," Sam suggested apologetically.

"I am aware," Teal'c answered.

At that moment, Dedi re-entered the room, arms laden with small paper bags of food. She set them down on the table.

"You are correct," she said. "You will be journeying to see the Wizard. It has been prophesised for many months."

"Really?" Daniel asked.

"Yes," Dedi said enthusiastically. "In the Wizard's first Ozzian meeting after segregating the land, he prophesised your coming and its implications for our people."

"What did he say?"

"He said that four strangers would come to our land, one with no brains, one with no heart and one with no courage. They would be accompanied by a woman, younger and smaller, but an equal, and a treasure to all Ozzians."

Sam smiled.

"You're not really younger," Daniel chided playfully at the Colonel who just smiled again in response.

"At least I have brains, a heart and courage," Sam replied.

"Yeah, about that," Daniel said to Dedi, "Exactly which one of us is which?"

Dedi smiled shyly and bit her lip. "I do not believe it is my place to tell such a tale."

"Please," asked Sam, "We'd like to know."

"As you wish," she said, with a sweeping hand motion.

Jack and Daniel looked on eagerly as Dedi prepared herself to tell the story. She assumed a very dramatic position, sitting cross-legged on a bench-top, her hands resting on her knees, palms facing the ceiling. Daniel supposed it was a stance adopted by the story tellers of the village. Sam watched as her two male team-mates keenly waited to hear their personas. Turning to Teal'c, she noticed that he too, appeared excited at the thought of discovering his Wizard of Oz identity, though his eternally passive face gave little indication. With a small grin to herself, Sam was sure she could guess which of the characters her team-mates should have been dubbed with. So she too waited eagerly, hoping that she was right.

"The one with no brains is the first to have met our heroine," she said indicating Sam. "He is said to be the leader, though how he leads without the brains of his followers eludes us here in Munchkinland. However, it is said the extent of his other qualities far outweigh any of those which he lacks in intelligence. He is prophesised as the closest to our heroine and the one with hair of the cloud."

The party all turned to look at Jack, who was patting down his hair.

"She means it's grey, Jack," said Daniel.

"I know," Jack said, pretending to flick it behind his ears. "So, I'm the Scarecrow then, huh?"

Sam smiled. The Scarecrow was always her favourite character in the movie, and she had a small feeling that it would be her CO who was given that title.

"Well, I can't say I wasn't expecting that," Jack continued with a shrug and looked back at Dedi, who bowed gracefully at his approval.

"The one with no heart is a strange one, made of different life-force than the others. It has been said that his temperament and expression is similar to that of tin, always constant. Age does not wear his tin form, though he is far older than his companions. It is rumoured that his manufacturer stole his heart and he is fighting against him for it to be returned. He is the marked one, branded by those he seeks to destroy."

"Well, that was…insightful," Sam said, looking at Teal'c who had one eyebrow raised.

"Tough luck, T," Jack said, patting the Jaffa on the back. Teal'c said nothing, looking down at Dedi in what the others supposed was reluctant acceptance.

"Which leaves…"

"The one with no courage," Dedi finished. Daniel's curious smile dropped off his face. He looked quickly at Sam who grinned into her lap, first catching the eye of her C.O who didn't bother to hide his amusement.

"The one with no courage has an interesting tale. He is not a physical being like the others, choosing to battle with words rather than arms. This is said to be because he lacks such skills and relies on the others to defend him."

Daniel's jaw dropped and he stared at the munchkin in disbelief. Sam had lowered her head and closed her eyes, half-offended for Daniel and half-amused.

"He is weak in stature and disabled in vision. He is of the glass eye," she finished.

Daniel scoffed, his eyebrows furrowed. "No compliments?" he asked. Dedi sat still, her eyes now closed.

"I don't believe this," Daniel continued. "Teal'c has no heart, but he still sounded noble! And I'm not a coward," he said.

"Sulking, are we?" Jack asked, gathering his things together.

"No," Daniel said. "It's just…"

"It's just a story," Jack concluded, passing Daniel his P-90.

"You are leaving," Dedi said, opening her eyes.

"Yeah," Jack said. "We're going to see the Wizard."

Dedi nodded slowly. "Then I wish you luck," she said and went into another part of the house.

The team finished gathering the belongings they had set down and left the house. There was a large crowd waiting for them outside, screaming and yelling in jubilation. Upon seeing the SG team the crowd broke into two sections uncovering a long road, made out of painted yellow brick.

"To Oz?" Jack asked, looking back at the team.

"To Oz," they answered, and laughed.
