When The Truth Comes Out

Glinda was out the next day in town. Theodora was watching her with jealousy. She'd heard her and Oz making love last night and it cut through her heart like a knife. She'd thought Oz was in love with her but maybe she was wrong. She always let her jealousy get the better of her. If she couldn't have Oz then Glinda couldn't either.

She went over to her. "Hello Glinda."

"Hello Theodora," Glinda said. "Are you enjoying the palace?"

"Definitely. It's nice to be back there. Did you have fun with Oz last night?"

Glinda looked away from her. She hadn't realized they had been that loud. "What are you talking about?"

"I know you slept with him."

"Well," Glinda said trying to come up with an explanation. "We are in love with each other."

"Did he tell you that he made out with me while you were gone?"

Glinda looked at her. "What?!"

"Yeah. When he saw me out on the road and we spent the night together."

Now it was Glinda's turn to feel like someone had stabbed her in the heart with a white hot knife. "You and Oscar…?"

Theodora realized she thought they'd slept together. Well, that works too. "Yes, we did. Seems like you just can't trust the wizard."

Glinda's eyes stung with tears. Then she went straight to the palace and up to the secretary who told Oz when people wanted to see him. "Oz is here, right?"

"He's talking to someone…"

"I don't care. I need to see him now." She went past her and up to the throne room where Oz had the smoke machine on talking to a munchkin. "Oscar Diggs…!"

"Come back later," he said to the munchkin. They left disappointedly and Oscar came from behind the curtain. He was immediately concerned when he saw Glinda crying. "Sweet heart, what's wrong?"

"Don't ask me what's wrong! Theodora told me everything!" she shouted at him.

Oz froze. "She did?"

"So it's true! You kissed her?!"

"Glinda it didn't mean anything…"

"What do you mean it didn't mean anything Oscar?! You just kissed her just to kiss her?!"

"Well…yeah." He held her in his arms. She was still crying. But she pushed him away hard. "Glinda…"

"You expect everything to be okay after you slept with another woman?!" she screamed.

That caught him off guard. "We never slept together!"

Glinda glared at him. "Why should I believe that? You've already lied to me before. I should have known you'd never change!" She left the room and he followed her.

"Glinda, wait!" She was out of the castle before he could explain anything. Then Theodora came in. He was extremely angry with her. "Why would you tell her that we slept together?!"

"I didn't tell her," Theodora said innocently but she was trying to suppress her smirk. "She jumped to the conclusion after I said you made out with me so I went with it."

"Why?!" Oscar said getting angrier with her.

"Why not?" she put her arms around him and looked at him lovingly. She hoped he would change his mind and forget Glinda. "We were together first. It just leaves more room for you and me."

He removed her hands. "No, it doesn't! I don't love you, I never did! Not before you became wicked and not now! That kiss didn't mean anything. You could never compare to how I feel about Glinda!"

His words hurt a lot. She felt tears in her eyes. Would Oscar ever stop breaking her heart. "So you…you don't love me?"

"No!"

Tears trickled down her face and burned her skin. Then she felt this weird sensation and dropped down to her knees. "Ah!"

Oz became worried. "Theodora, are you okay?" He tried to bend down to help her but when she looked up her face was green and she had turned back into the wicked witch.

Glinda had left the castle. She was going back to the southern realm. She was so heartbroken and crying. Oz never loved her. No matter what he said, he was still the con man he'd been back in Kansas and that was all he'd ever be. She had tried to trust him and believe in him but he continuously flirted with women after promising his heart was only hers and now he'd had sex with Theodora. She couldn't trust him anymore and that was that.

That didn't mean it still didn't hurt.

Once she was just outside of the Emerald City she saw Evanora. "What are you doing here?" Glinda said pulling out her wand preparing for whatever she'd have to face.

"I came here to get my sister. Apparently she's been turned back to her normal self. But of course, we can't have that now, can we?"

"She's happy here," Glinda said still sounding sad as much as she tried to be strong.

"Oh, what's wrong? Did your wizard choose her over you? Apparently I'm the only smart one around here. I never trusted him from the day I saw him. I was going to take him out while I was here but it looks like I'm going to get a two for one deal."

She shot her green electricity at Glinda and the fight began.

"I hate you Oscar!" Theodora shouted. "How could you have never loved me?!"

"Hey, you didn't have to go turning back into the witch," he said.

A fireball lit in her hands and she threw it at him. He dodged it and it hit the wall behind him destroying the paintings and wall paper in that spot. "DIE WIZARD!" she shouted.

She chased him throwing fireballs at him. Finley and China came out to see what was going on and gasped when they saw Theodora as the wicked witch attacking Oz. "What's going on?!" Finley exclaimed.

"Go hide!" Oscar said to them. He dodged Theodora and went to his workshop and shut the door. There had to be something in here he could use. He got something and came out before she could break down the door. It was something he had made few weeks ago. He put it on his wrist and pressed a button and a rocket shot out at her making it look like it came out of his hand and it exploded right when it got to Theodora and threw her back.

"So that's how it's going to be? Take this!" she shot a bigger fireball at him.

He continued to fight her. Soon he got an idea and switched it to smoke and black smoke shot out at her. She backed up until she was at the window. Then rockets shot out rapid fire and she was knocked out the window and her clothes were burned. People down below gasped when they saw the witch. Oz found the bigger fireworks and shot those out the window at her. The cinders burned her and finally she left before she could be blown up.

"Mark my words Oz! I'll be back!" Theodora shouted. "And when I come back you'll die!"

People cheered that she was gone.

However, some people started screaming again. He saw a familiar flash of green lightning and then saw Evanora fighting Glinda right by the Emerald City gates! He had to help her. It didn't matter if she was mad at him; he couldn't let her get hurt. He aimed the fireworks out the window down at Evanora. He waited for a perfect shot and then fired three of them down at her.

Glinda heard the explosion and jumped out of the way just in time. Evanora saw the flashed of light and fire coming towards her and she screamed. She flew away as fast as she could before she could be blown up by the colorful explosions.

Yeah, um, the bears thought the fruit was permanent. It wasn't.

So many feelings coming to surface here! Oscar should have known he couldn't lie to Glinda. She hates him now, he tells Theodora how he really feels about her and now she hates him. And Evanora hates him just because. Oscar Diggs is just a magnet for hate. He's so unlucky. He has three beautiful and very powerful women who want to destroy him (okay maybe Glinda doesn't really want to destroy him but still).
