This chapter is longer than the others. I promise.

Bad Witch Gone Good

The wicked witch of the west was out after terrorizing a town. She had burned down several building's and some people probably died. Being evil brought her so much joy. It was like a rush to go out and murder and destroy. If only she could get to her real target: the wizard. But no, he was too powerful. She needed some time to think of how she would get to him. And of course he had that good witch on his side. Both of them together were very powerful. They'd defeated her and Evanora before. They'd probably do it again until they came up with a fool proof plan.

After her destruction, she came through a forest on her way home. She saw one of the Koala like bears in the trees gesturing to her. "What do you want runt?!" she said prepared to destroy it. It handed her a round red fruit. She stared at it for a moment. "Well, I am kind of hungry." She took it and ate it.

What she didn't know was that although the Koala's of OZ didn't say much, they were smart. They'd given her a fruit that would purify her and turn her back to how she used to be. Sure enough that's what happened. Light swirled around her and after a moment she fell to the ground as the Theodora that she used to be.

She looked at her hands. "Oh my god," she said quietly. "I'm free. I'm my old self again."

She went over to a river and looked at herself. She was no longer green and her face wasn't pointy. She had her cream skin and red lips and long brown hair. She still had on the witches outfit but she didn't feel like a wicked witch anymore. She was back to her old self.

For months she had been trapped in the body of the wicked witch of the west under Evanora's spell that had gone horribly wrong. She wasn't wicked, she never wanted to be. And now she could try and make amends for all of the destruction she had caused.

Oz was walking down the yellow brick road that evening. He liked to take walks like this through OZ after he'd shut the wizard off from the public for the evening. He especially liked to take them with Glinda but of course, she wasn't here now.

All of a sudden he came across Theodora.

"Hello Oscar," she said.

He was very surprised to see her in her regular form. "Theodora…what happened to you?" he said confused.

"I don't know. It was really strange. I got some fruit from a Koala and all of a sudden I was turned normal. Isn't it great?"

He stared at her for a moment. He didn't know what to think. It could have been a trick. She could still be wicked.

"I'm not wicked anymore Oz," she said after seeing his face. She came towards him and took his hands. "I'm the same girl you met when you first came here. I won't hurt you."

"You're not with your sister anymore?" he said still a little suspicious.

"She's doing some terrible things. She's been planning ways to come and destroy you and Glinda. I never wanted to be a part of this. I was never on anyone's side at first. I promise."

"Well, in that case, I guess I can trust you." He walked on and she went with him.

"Where is Glinda?"

"She had to go help this town that got destroyed by flying monkeys. She'll be gone for a few days."

That brought Theodora's hopes up. Maybe since Glinda was gone she'd have a chance with Oz. The two of them could be together like they were meant to be in the first place. They continued walked until they came to some giant orange flowers near a river. They sat down and watched the river fairies.

"Do you remember when you first came and you got attacked by the river fairies," Theodora asked.

Oz chuckled. "Oh yes. I remember it very well. But I think we're on better terms now." Then one came over and squirted him in the face. "Or maybe not."

Theodora laughed. She remembered why she had liked Oz so much. He had a certain charm about him, and being incredibly sexy didn't hurt at all. She looked at him for a moment as he looked up into the dark sky. He looked at her. She leaned towards him and kissed him. He broke it off after a couple seconds. She could tell he was hesitant. It was because of Glinda. She blonde which had built a wall between them that Oz seemed reluctant to break. She leaned towards him again this time he didn't pull away. They say there kissing passionately. After a while they broke it off. "Just like our first kiss," she said with a smile.

"If only I had the music box. Then we could dance."

She was surprised by how well this was going. He was making her blush just like the first night they'd spent together and it felt like butterflies were in her stomach. "It's okay. I'll settle for another kiss." He leaned down and kissed her again.

Soon he was leaning up against one of the flowers while Theodora slept on his lap. He looked down at her. Poor girl, so naïve. He didn't love her, not while Glinda was in his life. He started thinking. Was it wrong that he had kissed Theodora all those times, even if it meant nothing? And was it wrong that he was leading her on again and letting her sleep on him like this? Yes and yes! It'll probably lead to more problems. He was moving closer to his grave as it was. She'd probably melt his head when he said all of it meant nothing.

He gently removed her from his lap and placed her on the grass. He wouldn't do this. Not to her and not to Glinda. Glinda would bash his head in if she had seen any of this. She'd already stopped speaking to him for a few days the last time he flirted with a girl. Maybe he just hadn't learned yet. Old habits were hard to break. He shouldn't be leading this girl on though. Even if it meant nothing and his heart was only for his beautiful Glinda.

They next day they woke up with the sun and journeyed back down the yellow brick road to the Emerald City and to the castle.

"Why is she here?!" Finley exclaimed when he saw Theodora.

"She's changed back to normal Finley," Oz explained.

China came over. "Once a witch always a witch!" she said not willing to accept that Theodora had changed.

"Guys, come on. Everyone deserves second chances," Oz said. "She's good now. She's not with Evanora anymore."

"He's right," Theodora said. "I don't want to be wicked. I never wanted to."

China looked at her for a moment. She decided that if Oz trusted her then they should too. "Well…alright."

"I'll have one of the servants take you to a room where you can stay," Oz said.

"Can I stay with you?" She was hoping he'd let her stay in the master bedroom with him. Then maybe they could continue where they left off last night.

He chuckled thinking she was joking. If she was serious, of course he wouldn't let her. "Oh, you jokester." After she was gone Finley and China were giving him a look. "What?"

"She still likes you," China said. She wondered if Oz even realized it.

Oz shrugged. "So?"

"Glinda won't like it."

Oz bent down to her. "Look, it's not like I like her too. But I couldn't just leave her out there alone for her sister to catch her. Glinda won't think anything of it."

Theodora spent the next few days with Oz. He barely kissed her again. Maybe once or twice, but then he reminded himself that he shouldn't be a player anymore. She wished Oz would kiss her and she wished he had let her stay with him. He liked her too right? He was only with Glinda to fill in the hole that she left. Why else would he have kissed her like that the other night? And when Glinda came home, she would find out and things would fall into place.

Theodora has a sad life. But hopefully things are getting back to normal. And she seems to be trying to steal Oscar away from Glinda! Who will he choose?! Theodora may have changed back to her normal self but she is still in love with Oz and is very jealous of Glinda.
