AN: To my wonderful and very PATIENT readers, I am back and have gotten the writing mojo flowing again! Beyond this story, I will try to update both Falling and Old Flame, New Love this week. Enjoy this little piece.
The Dungeon
While both Corrie and Emma brought Porkers and the Lion to the dungeon, the Lion continued to whimper, as Porkers remained silent, trying to figure a way out and getting back to his mistress. As the two monkeys were landing in a dark area, Porkers could hear the conversation between the two minions of the wicked witch.
"I can't believe I got such an important job from the witch. She is such an evil ruler and one of the best as well. I so want to grow up and be JUST LIKE HER!"
"Oh shut up already you hyper, bubbly, airheaded moron," Emma began, "the last thing I need is to hear your praises of our dictator while carrying this stinky, unhygienic, whiny, ton of bricks! That pig is more clean then this piece of garbage."
"Hurtful," cried the Lion.
"Still, I can't believe we were chosen to go get the prisoners. I mean, she has like so many other minions and we got the job. Oh I feel so grateful that I could just kiss her when we finish this job."
"Well, since you are such a big helper, why don't you go and check out the cell to make sure they won't have any means of escaping," Emma ordered as she pointed to the tiny hole in the wall that was going to fit both Porkers and the Lion.
"YES MA'AM!" Corrie shouted as she flew in the cell to inspect it. This gave Porkers an idea.
"AND DON'T CALL ME MA'AM! I'M NOT THAT OLD!" Emma shouted as she pulls out a make up mirror to make sure she wasn't aging, as she feared. While being distracted, Porkers looked at the Lion and started oinking at him while directing his eyes towards Emma. For some weird reason, the Lion actually understood what Porkers was planning and set it all in motion as the Lion began to speak loudly.
"You know Porkers," the Lion said with much gusto, "they say that being near a pig makes you age a lot faster."
"WHAT? Who said that?" Emma asked as she overheard the conversation.
"Why everyone," the Lion began, "you ever wonder why Brenda never got near him when they brought us here."
"What about the young girl? She still looks young for her age."
"Umm…constant exposure to pigs allowed her body to grow an immunity to it. I mean, Bailey is only really 12 years old. She's just really smart for her age. Plus, they say the first contact is the worst."
"You're lying!" Emma shouted as she started to back herself away from Porkers. This gave him the cue he needed. Porkers began to walk towards Emma, with every step he took; she took a step back, wanting to get far away from the offending animal. Once Emma backed her into the cell, the Lion quickly closed the door on her and locked both monkeys inside.
"And they say that I'm dumb," the Lion quipped as he and Porkers quickly ran out of the dungeon to go save the others.
"Well, at least you won't age being so far away from the pig," Corrie said happily.
"Oh shut up!" Emma moaned, as she knew her life was over.
Agnes' Bedroom
The Tin Man was scared for his life right now. He was in the private quarters of a woman and for the first time of his life, he knew he wasn't about to enjoy any of it. As the Tin Man continued to contemplate on how to escape his pending torture, Agnes came out of her bathroom with a very revealing negligee that left VERY little to the imagination.
"So my big steel man," she began as she sways her hips erotically while moving herself over to the Tin Man, "do you like what you see?"
The Tin Man gulped, "Ummm…well…that is to say…"
"What is it? Aren't you happy to see me?"
As happy as a crab is to see boiling water, The Tin Man thought as he began to gather his thoughts and say something to get him out of this situation.
"You know…" he began, "I really am surprised that you didn't fight Barbara more on my brother. I mean, you had your eyes on him first."
"Yes," Agnes replied as she gently strokes his face, "but he was never interested in me. Unlike you who went to great lengths just to impress me."
"All I did was pretend to be my brother so that you would stop bothering him!"
"Oh don't deny our love for one another any longer!" Agnes shouted as she tried to pull him into a deep kiss before the Tin Man stopped her.
"WAIT! There's something you need to know about my brother!"
"What? I don't care about him."
"Well…" the Tin Man began, "It's too bad because he finally saw the light and cares about you."
"HE DOES? I KNEW HE WOULD COME BACK TO MAMA!"
"Exactly," The Tin Man began, "So are you going to let Barbara just be alone with him and take your man away from you."
"WHY THAT SKANK! NOBODY TOUCHES MY CROWKINS EXCEPT ME!" Agnes screamed as she darted her way towards Barbara's room.
"And they call me the dumb one in the family," the Tin Man said as he followed Agnes towards Barbara's room.
Barbara's Room
As the comet known as Agnes was gaining on them, Barbara was currently trying to show the Scarecrow how much alike they were and how she misses him.
"Scarecrow, I'm really sorry," Barbara repeated, as she had for the past ten minutes already, "That redheaded gingerbread man meant nothing to me. I was just so lonely since you went on that little quest with your twin."
"I'm sorry Barbara," Scarecrow said as he shook his head, "but you broke my heart. I don't think I can ever trust you again."
"Yes you can. All you have to do is…" before Barbara could finish, Agnes busted through the door with a smiling Tin Man right behind her.
"HANDS OFF MY MAN YOU FLYING SLUT!" Agnes shouted.
"What? You said you wanted his brother, not him! We came to an agreement!"
"That was before I realized that Crowkins LOVES ME! NOW BACK OFF!" Agnes shouted as she launched herself at Barbara. As the two females kept fighting, Tin Man walked up to his brother and nodded towards the door. Scarecrow smiled and the two brothers left the room, leaving the two females to argue over who loved the younger twin more.
As the two brothers ran down the corridor towards where they believed the others were held, the met up with Porkers and Lion on the way. Porkers, smelling exactly where his mistress was, lead the others towards the tower where Bailey was held. As the four opened the door, they saw Chelsea and Brenda there, watching over Bailey.
"BAILEY!" the three guys shouted, catching the attention of both Chelsea and Brenda.
"So you four escaped," Brenda sighed, "Good help is so hard to find these days. Chelsea, GET THEM!"
"EWWW NO! Touching that badly dressed girl is one thing, but I will not touch something so hideous and unclean."
"I'll have you know that Porkers is one of the cleanest and most beautiful pig in all of Kettlecorn," Bailey said defending her pet.
"I meant the Lion," Chelsea retorted.
"Again, hurtful," Lion whined as he walked towards Chelsea, which caused her to scream and fly away quickly.
Brenda sighed, "Well, as they say, if you want something done right. You got to do it yourself."
She began to start blasting at the would be rescuers, which caused them all to scramble. Scarecrow landed next to the tied up Bailey and started to untie her.
"Got any bright ideas?" Scarecrow asked.
"Well, if this is some twisted version of The Wizard of Oz…" Bailey began as she tried to remember the movie, "the witch is suppose to melt with water."
"Umm…kind of hard for that to happen," Scarecrow said as they ducked from a flying lightning bolt, "considering that rain was touching her on our flight back here and nothing happened to her."
"I know that," Bailey responded as she continued to duck, dodge, and think, "but if this was a twisted version of that, that means the witch will melt when she touches something she hates."
"Like what?" Scarecrow wondered.
"I think I know," Bailey said as she took a towel from a nearby chair and handed it to Scarecrow, "Now be a gentleman and hold this between you and me while I take off my shirt and NO PEEKING!"
"Sheesh," Scarecrow answered as he covered Bailey up as she took off her shirt, "you think I was my brother or something."
"If you are anything like Cody," Bailey said as she wrap her top half with the towel and shirt in her hand, "you are going to be just the same as Zack. Not that I minded when Cody stared at me completely speechless when I wore that Houndstooth bikini."
"So do not want to know," Scarecrow answered as Bailey threw the shirt and nailed Brenda in the head. As Brenda came into contact with Bailey's shirt, her body began to slowly deteriorate.
"WHAT? HOW DID YOU KNOW MY WEAKNESS WAS HIDEOUS CLOTHING!"
Bailey and the others surrounded her as she picked up her shirt and quickly put it back on and explained; "I realized something was wrong when you wouldn't even come near my clothes. I figured if you were anything like my roommate back home, this would be your one big weakness."
"NO! I'M MELTING! I'M MELTING! CURSE YOU HIDEOUS WORLD!"
As Brenda melted into diamonds, rubies, pearls, and cash, Bailey grabbed the green looking handkerchief in the middle and looked at the others.
"Well, we got the emerald pocket hanky. Let's go back to the Wizard."
Everyone nodded and began to walk out before noticing that Tin Man was missing. Looking back, they saw him stuffing the treasure left behind by Brenda inside himself. Scarecrow shook his head as he walked over to his brother and pulls him on his feet and drag Tin Man out.
"WAIT! COME ON BROSEPH! LET ME JUST TAKE A FEW MORE! PLEASE!"
Tin Man's pleads were generally ignored as the group walked back towards Emerald City.
