Chapter Seventeen part two
(Hey, y'all!
Fun fact:
Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Donald Duck's nephews. Huey is the little duck in red, Dewey is the one in blue, and Louie is the duck in green. In the first part of the chapter, Beatrice says that she thought that she saw a toon duck who looked like the female version of Huey. According to Disney Wiki, there are also three duck triplets, like Huey, Dewey, and Louie, but they are girls instead of boys and they go by the names "April," "May," and "June". To learn more about them, go on Disney Wiki.
Now, in this part of Chapter Seventeen, you might want to have your DVD, CD, or YouTube video playing while you're reading (you don't have to if you don't want to) because this is a rather a musical chapter.
Enjoy the story and life as it goes!

Beatrice:
As soon as Glinda said to the Munchkins that it was safe to come out from their hiding spots, after every three seconds, there were five Munchkins coming out from the bushes. Most of the Munchkins, in fact, looked like the Toons that I saw in Toon Town and on the movies that I used to watch as a kid. But despite of what they looked like, the Munchkins were wearing dresses that looked like they were stolen off of the mechanical children from the It's A Small World After All ride.
"Come out, come out, wherever you are,
And meet the young lady, who fell from a star." Glinda began to sing.
The first few Munchkins that I saw looked like mini versions of Mickey Mouse with sailor suits (with Donald Duck's hat) and Native American outfits and a couple of Munchkins looked like the female versions of Dewey and Louie. They all looked at me and Toto with curiosity. The Louie-Look-Alike attempted to pet Toto on his head but he gave her a look that made her change her mind.
"She fell from the sky, she fell very far,
And Houston, she says, is the name of the star." Glinda continued to sing as we walked to the central plaza.
Glinda guided me and a few of the Munchkins to the central plaza and I saw more Munchkins coming out from their huts, houses, and tiny corners. One of the Munchkins, who looked like one of the pigs from The Three Little Pigs, came out from a manhole as some of the Munchkins looked a little older and looked like the Toon characters that I saw on television (There were some Munchkins that looked like certain good characters from various Dr. Seuss stories.). They were all dressed in a kind of weird and international matter.
"Houston, she says, is name of the star." The Munchkins sang, echoing Glinda's last line.
"She brings you good news.
Or haven't you heard?
When she fell out of Houston,
A miracle occurred." Glinda sang and I began to see more Munchkins gather around the central plaza as Glinda and I stood and watched the Munchkins come towards us.
"It really was no miracle.
What happened was just this:" I said but it came out as singing.
"The wind began to switch,
From house to pitch,
And suddenly, the hinges started to unhitch…"
The Munchkins oohh'ed and ahhh'ed as I would sing my explanation.
"Just then,
THE WITCH!
To satisfy an inch,
Went flying on her broomstick,
Thumbing for a hitch!" I finished.
Then, a Munchkin, who looked like Merlin from The Sword In The Stone, took a giant leap forward.
"And oh, what happened, then, was rich!" The Merlin Munchkin sang.
Then, the other Munchkins behind him took a few steps forward and they began to sing,
"The house began to pitch,
The kitchen took a 'slitch'…"
More Munchkins join in as they continue to sing.
"…It landed on the Wicked Witch,
In the middle of the ditch.
Which was not a healthy situation for…THE WICKED WITCH."
Then, all of the Munchkins began to dance as they sing.
"The house began to pitch,
The kitchen took a 'slitch',
It landed on the Wicked Witch,
In the middle of the ditch.
Which was not a healthy situation…for THE WICKED WITCH!"
Then, everyone began to split up.
The reason why they did that was because there was a horse-drawn cart (pulled by Cyril Proudbottom) heading towards my way and behind it were those Green Army Men figurines from Toy Story.
"Who…began to twitch,
And was reduced…to just a stitch,
Of what was once the Wicked Witch?" The Munchkins finished.
Everyone cheered as the cart stopped in front of me and Glinda led me to the cart and in kind of a hesitant matter, I stepped in and sat down.
Two Munchkins in 1940-styled school boy outfits, who looked like Roger Rabbit and Arthur Pendragon (from The Sword In The Stone), walked up to me as Toto sat on my lap.
"We thank you very sweetly…for doing it so neatly." The Munchkin who looked like Arthur said with a smile.
"You've killed her so completely…that we thank you very sweetly." The Munchkin who looked like Roger said.
Roger takes a small red rose with a safety pin out of his pocket and hands it to me. I pinned in on to my shirt.
"LET THE JOYOUS BE SPREAD: THE WICKED OLD WITCH, AT LAST, IS DEAD!" Glinda shouted with joy and a smile.
The Munchkins cheered and the horse cart began to move. As the soldiers walked behind the cart, the Munchkins danced and sing,
"DING DONG!
The Witch is dead!
Which old witch?
The Wicked Witch!
DING DONG!
The Wicked Witch is DEAD!
Wake up, you sleepy head.
Rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up!
The Wicked Witch is dead!"
I began to notice that the cart was now being pulled to a house that was wider than the other Munchkin huts and houses.
"She's gone where the goblins go,
Below,
Below,
Below,
YO-HO!
Let's open up and sing…and ring the bells out.
Ding dong, the merry-oh!
Sing it HIGH,
Sing it LOW!
Let them know that the Wicked Witch is dead!" The Munchkins ended.
As Cyril pulled up to the wide hut, three playing card soldiers walked out of the hut. After they were lined up, they blew on their bugles. I knew that this meant that someone who was very important was about to come out.
I looked at the entrance of the hut and I saw…Mickey Mouse.
He was dressed in a yellow waistcoat, green pants and open green coat (with a small top hat and a gold pocket watch dangling from the middle of his shirt) and even had a little mustache on his upper lip, which made me giggle in my head. Following 'Mayor Mickey' was Donald Duck (dressed in a magenta preacher robe), the White Rabbit (from Alice in Wonderland and was dressed in an outfit that was similar to his signature waistcoat but was blue and white), Horace Horsecollar (who was dressed in a brown suit and white pants), and Clarabelle Cow (who was dressed in a rainbow-colored dress and had a pink bow on her head).
Mayor Mickey took off his hat as he walked down the steps (that were in front of the hut) and when he came to me, he held out his hand and I got out of the cart. Mayor Mickey led me to his group of followers and Toto crawled behind me.
"As mayor of the Munchkin City,
In the county of the land of Oz,
I welcome you (he bows his head in respect) most regally." Mayor Mickey said.
"But we've got to verify it LEGALLY…to see…" Donald Duck said.
"To see." Mayor Mickey repeated.
"If she…"
"If she…"
"Is morally, ethically…" Donald said and Mayor Mickey nodded his head.
"Spiritually, physically…" The White Rabbit added.
"Positively!" Horace exclaimed.
"Absolutely!" Clarabelle exclaimed.
"Undeniably and reliably DEAD!" Donald, White Rabbit, Horace, and Clarabelle exclaimed in unison.
I looked at them in surprise. If the Witch really was dead, then why would the Munchkins want to make sure that they got the right details?
Then, Goofy, holding a roll of paper and wearing a long and loose black coroner's outfit walked up the steps. He nearly stepped on the hem of the outfit as he walked up but he still managed to make it to us without falling down or embarrassing himself.
Coroner Goofy looks at Mayor Mickey and unrolls the paper, saying 'Certificate of Death', and sings,
"As coroner, I must aver,
I thoroughly examined her.
And she's not only merely dead,
She's really most sincerely dead!"
Then, Mayor Mickey nodded his head in satisfaction and turns toward the Munchkins.
"Then, this is a day of independence for all the Munchkins and their descendants!" He exclaimed.
"If any!" Donald Duck exclaimed.
"Yes! LET THE JOYOUS NEWS BE SPREAD: THE WICKED OLD WITCH, AT LAST, IS DEAD!"
The Munchkins cheered and they all wandered around town. As they walked around, the Munchkins began to sing…again.
"Ding Dong!
The Witch is dead!
Which old witch?
The wicked witch!
Ding Dong!
The Wicked Witch is dead!
Wake up, you sleepyhead.
Rub your eyes, get out of bed!
Wake up! The Wicked Witch is dead!
She's gone where the goblins go,
Below,
Below,
Below,
Yo-ho!
Let's open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong, the merry-oh!
Sing it HIGH!
Sing it LOW!
Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead!"
The Green Soldiers lined up and got themselves into a big formation and all of the Munchkins watched as they were straightening themselves up. Then, in the middle of the formation, the Green Soldiers split up, creating enough space for…three ducks (who looked like female versions of Huey, Dewey, and Louie) in pink ballerina outfits to walk out on their tip-toes.
After a few small spins, the ballerinas looked at me and they sang in adorable high squeaky voices,
"We represent the Lullaby League,
The Lullaby League, the Lullaby League.
And in the name of the Lullaby League,
We wish to welcome you to Munchkin Land."
The ballerinas took a bow and walked away.
Then, three more ducks (Huey, Dewey, and Louie) walked up from my right in nervousness. When they were close enough, the Huey-Look-Alike attempted to walk away but the Louie-Look-Alike pulled him back in to his place. Then, all three of the ducks looked at me and sang,
"We represent the Lollipop Guild,
The Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild.
And in the name of the Lollipop Guild,
We wish to welcome you to Munchkin Land."
They finished the song by giving me fist bumps. After the fist bumps, the other Munchkins came up from the Huey, Dewey, and Louie look-alikes and sang,
"We welcome you to Munchkin Land,
Tra la la la la la la la la la la la!"
"From now on you'll be history!" Mayor Mickey said.
"You'll be his-!" Clarabelle, Horace, and Donald exclaimed in unison.
"You'll be his-!" The White Rabbit exclaimed.
"You'll be history!" Coroner Goofy exclaimed.
"And we will glorify your name,
You will be a bust,
Be a bust,
Be a bust,
IN THE HALL OF FAME!" Mayor Mickey and his followers sang in unison.
As Mayor Mickey and his followers guided me and Toto down the steps and to Glinda (with a few of the soldiers escorting us), all of the Munchkin began to sing in celebration. They were all singing and dancing and jumping…they all looked like they were having a really good time. The Munchkins were celebrating like a war just ended and their side won.
As I walked to Glinda and the Munchkins were about to finish their last 'La', a sudden burst of green and yellow smoke explodes behind Mayor Mickey and his followers, causing everyone to scream and stop cheering, dancing, singing, and jumping. Most of the Munchkins fell down on the ground while some ran away to find a hiding place. Glinda came behind me and I picked up Toto. She puts her hands on my arms as I watched in horror and surprise as I saw something in black come out from the smoke.
It was another witch!
She…I mean, he…had green skin and burning red eyes and he wore a loose black outfit with a black cape and a black pointed hat. He was that witch that was flying around the tornado on a broom! He was the witch who looked like Mr. D!
The Witch looked at me with his burning red eyes paralyzing me. He takes his eyes off of me and walks toward the green feet that were sticking out from the bottom of Grandpappy's house. But how can he be alive when he is really supposed to be dead?
"I thought that you said that the witch was dead." I whispered to Glinda.
"Oh, that was his brother, the Wicked Witch of the East." She replied. "This is the Wicked Witch of the WEST. He's worse than the other one was."
The Witch looked up from the green feet and looked at me, Glinda, and Toto and gave us his evil paralyzing stare.
