Jeffrey watched Bogg leave the room. He sighed and crossed his arms over his chest.

Great, just great. Here I am, alone, in a dress, and about ready to play Dorothy. Bogg, you better hurry up and get back!

In a few minutes, Phineas was in front of a white house with a white picket fence.

"What else is new?" he muttered to himself.

Sighing, Phineas walked up to the house and knocked on the door. He waited for a few minutes, hoping that no one would actually answer.

Unfortunately, a dark haired woman opened up the door.

"May I help you, young man?"

Phineas had to laugh every time someone said that to him. Here he was, almost three thousand years old and they STILL call him 'young man'.

"Uh, yes, ma'am. I'm looking for Dorothy," Phineas winced after he realized what he had said.

She gave him a blank look in her brown eyes. "Dorothy who? Are you lost?"

Phineas chuckled. "No, ma'am. I'm actually looking for Judy Garland."

"Are you an agent?"

"No, ma'am, I'm not. But I DO know she'd be great doing this new film production called 'Wizard of Oz..."

"I have all ready told her manager that I don't want her in such misshape movie. She might get the wrong idea, or those who watch it might."

"Wrong idea?" Phineas narrowed his eyes. He wished the kid was there to explain THAT one.

"You know what I mean," Mrs. Garland said, annoyance in her voice. "Unless you can prove to me other wise, I won't have my daughter in that movie"

"Ma'am, my son is at the movie production at this very minute ready to portray Dorothy. I'd much rather have your daughter doing the role."

Mrs. Garland smiled. "Your son playing Dorothy? Now, this I'd have to see!" she chuckled.

"I'd much rather you didn't, ma'am. I don't like him being put in that position, but I had no choice. I'd rather your daughter do the role."

"I'm not certain it's the best thing for her. Besides, she's too old for the part. The role is of a twelve year old girl. Judy is almost fourteen,"

"My son says the producers can fix that,"

"Oh, really? As of how?"

Phineas shrugged. "I have no idea, ma'am. But, I know my son and I trust him completely. Would you at least allow Judy to give it a try?"

"Who is it, Mother?" came a young girl's voice.

"It's someone from that movie, dear. He really wants you to be a part of it,"

The dark haired girl emerged from the inside of the house. Her equally brown eyes looked up at Phineas.

Oh, wow...Phineas thought.

"You're here for the Wizard of Oz?" she asked.

"Yes, I am."

"What happened to Shirley?" Judy asked.

"She quit," Phineas sighed. "On the help of my son,"

Judy looked over at her mother. "Oh, mother, I want the part!"

"Are you sure, dear? The age isn't right for you,"

"What will be right for me, mother?The movie sounds like fun!"

She looks back at Phineas. "I'll be right back!"

Phineas sighed, thankful that that was over.

Back at the studios, Jeffrey was still sitting alone. He had closed his eyes, his mind wondering off to Phineas, wondering how his partner was doing with Judy and her mother. He smiled at the mere thought of Phineas trying to talk Judy's mother into allowing Judy to star in the movie.

Suddenly, the door opened and the producer came in with a little black dog in his arms.

Oh, no....

"Jeffrey, I thought maybe you'd like to meet Totto." the man handed the little dog and placed the dog into Jeffrey's arms.

The puppy's eyes looked up at him and began to lick his hand. A tear started to form in his eyes and a lump began to form in his throat.

The memory of Ralph came to mind as he held the dog tighter to his chest and tears began to fall down his cheek.

Toto stood on his hind legs and began to lick his face.

Jeffrey forced a smile and looked at the dog. "It's okay, Toto. I just miss my own dog,"
