[Cartoon-verse]
One thing- I'd like to say thank you to Sofia2015 for reading and reviewing and whatnot. :) Really appreciated it.
Thanks to you others who read too! (23 views = 23 more than I thought would happen lol)
Okay so from this point on it won't be very original but I'll try to leave out some scenes and add some of my own.
At the end of the chapter I will explain the cast :)
Disclaimer: Still don't own Alvin and the Chipmunks! :D
Also don't own anything related to the Wizard of Oz franchise... dang-it forgot to say that last chapter lol.
Chapter Two
Jeanette blinked her eyes open.
She was still at the Seville's house – but Simon was nowhere to be found.
"Ow my head." She rubbed her head as she stood up.
She brushed herself off. But instead of the familiar feeling of her blue sweater and purple skirt on her hands, she felt a different material.
She looked down in amazement.
She was wearing the get-up Brittany had been, except she had her own, untied dark blue shoes on.
They were very out of place with her outfit, but Jeanette was glad she was wearing the familiar shoes.
She looked around the house, calling for the boys and Dave. "Simon? T-Theodore? Alvin? Dave!"
But they weren't there.
Jeanette shrugged, tugging at what she thought was her loose bun. But this was different too.
Her hair was in pigtails similar to what Brittany's hair had been in.
She poked her head in the bathroom and saw her reflection.
Jeanette smiled a little.
She kind of looked like Dorothy.
She suddenly remembered that she couldn't find the boys and sighed, making her way to the front door.
"Simon! Theodore! Alvin!" she hollered as she opened the door.
Jeanette suddenly noticed her surroundings.
"Wow…" she said in simple amazement.
It was a vast, brightly colored village. There were all sorts of tiny houses, and there was a crystal blue river under a small bridge. She saw various flowers and other flora.
What she didn't see was that some of the flowers were actually the hats of tiny people who were hiding from her.
"I have a feeling I'm not in California…" she said quietly, admiring the beauty of her new, colorful surroundings.
Jeanette walked around for a minute or so before hearing a bark.
"What-?" She turned around and there Lilly was, barking happily as she caught up with her. "Hi Lilly! Well at least there's one familiar face around here."
Suddenly a huge mint-green bubble appeared seemingly out of nowhere before the two. It faded until Eleanor stood in front of her.
Eleanor had a huge, poofy light green dress on, and a sparkling light green crown resting on her head. She held a light green wand-staff.
If Jeanette didn't know any better she would've thought Eleanor was a fairy.
Make that two familiar faces. She thought to herself.
"Ellie?" she asked.
"Ellie? Who's 'Ellie'? Now tell me, are you a good witch – or a bad witch?"
Jeanette scrunched her nose up in confusion. "I'm not a witch. Don't you remember me?"
"Remember you? I'm sorry but I've never seen you until just now."
"I'm Jeanette Miller. I'm your sister, and we live in California – remember?"
"Well Jeanette – if you were my sister then you would have to be a witch. Because I am a witch."
"You are?"
"Yes. I am the Witch of the North," she explained.
"Wait you're Glinda?" Jeanette asked in amazement.
"No – my name is not Glinda. I don't actually have a specific name."
"But your name is Eleanor." she informed her.
"It is? Alright then – that is a very nice name after all."
Jeanette giggled at this before she spoke again. "Eleanor, if you're a witch, then why are you so beautiful? I thought witches were scary and weren't that pretty."
"Only the bad witches aren't pretty Jeanette. I am a good witch."
"Oh. That makes sense."
"Indeed it does. But what doesn't make sense, is why the Munkins called me here in the first place. You see, they informed me that a new witch had just dropped a rather large house on the Wicked Witch of the East, and had killed her."
"W-what? I killed somebody?" Jeanette asked in complete confusion.
"So you are a witch?" she asked.
"No, I'm not a witch Eleanor."
"Now I know she can't be the witch." Eleanor pointed her wand at Lilly.
Jeanette laughed. "No I'm afraid neither of us are witches Eleanor."
"Oh. Well I should still thank you Miss Jeanette. The Munkins are very happy because you have freed them from the Wicked Witch of the East." Eleanor smiled.
"Oh! The Munkins are the little people that live here – right?" Jeanette hadn't seen the movie in a long time but remembered that part. Although she thought they were called Munchkins…
Eleanor looked befuddled before nodding. "Yes… But they're not people – they're chipmunks. This is Munkinland. And you are the Munkin's savior – their national heroine, Jeanette." She turned to the hiding Munkins. "It's okay – you may all come out and thank her now!"
Jeanette watched as the Munkins came out of their hiding places amongst the flowers, all smiling gratefully at her.
"Aren't you going to sing?" Jeanette asked Eleanor.
Eleanor looked at her funnily. "Now why would I sing?"
Jeanette giggled. "Oh, never mind Eleanor."
"What happened?" A Munkin asked Eleanor.
"When she fell out of California, a miracle occurred."
"A miracle?" Jeanette repeated. "There was no miracle Eleanor. I went to get a cup from the cabinet so I could get water from the sink – but the door got unhinged and fell on my head. I was knocked out and woke up to this."
The Munkins began to sing in low voices.
"She went to get a cup,
from the cabinet.
She wanted some water,
From the very tiny sink –
But the door got unhinged,
And fell upon her un-,
-Suspecting head."
Jeanette looked at them weirdly – as she recognized the tune from somewhere-, but she shook her head, brushing it off.
She thought it was odd that they sang low rather than high…
They sang again as a two-horse-drawn carriage made its way towards them.
"She went to get a cup,
From the cabinet.
She wanted some water,
From the very tiny sink –
But the door got unhinged,
And fell upon her un-,
-Suspecting head.
She was knocked out
And then woke up to this…
Her house fell on the Wicked Witch!"
Jeanette smiled a little as a Munkin guided her to the carriage. She sat down and the rest of them gathered around her.
"We thank you for killing the Wicked Witch." A Munkin beamed at her, handing her a bouquet of blue and lavender roses.
"Y-you're welcome…" Jeanette said uneasily, accepting the flowers hesitantly.
She didn't like the fact that she had killed someone, no matter how horrible they had been.
The carriage rode around until it stopped in front of a group of Munkins.
Jeanette was helped out of the carriage as the Munkin in the middle smiled at her.
He oddly resembled 'Uncle' Harry, who had conned both the girls and boys alike before.
"As Mayor of Munkinland, I welcome you to the country of the Land of Oz." he bowed in front of her.
A taller Munkin – he was closer to her height and looked a little like Simon minus the glasses –, stood in front of her with a paper titled 'Certificate of Death'. "As Coroner, I just examined her. She's most sincerely dead."
"In that case… This is a day of Independence for all of us Munkins! Let the news be spread – the Wicked Old Witch at last is dead!" The Mayor announced.
All of the Munkins cheered as they sang.
"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!
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!"
Jeanette laughed. She knew that song definitely.
This was getting weird – but she liked it.
Three female Munkins in ballerina tutus danced towards her, softly singing.
"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 Munkinland!"
They curtseyed and danced to the side as three boy Munkins – whose appearances each had a hint of the Chipmunk with their respective color- walked over to Jeanette.
They had half-smiles on their faces as they sang gruffly, and danced side-to-side.
"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 Munkinland!"
The Munkin in the middle – who was similar to Theodore – handed Jeanette a huge, swirly lollipop with a grin.
She nodded her thanks and smiled.
"You'll be history! You'll be a statue in the hall of fame Jeanette!" The Mayor declared.
She grinned widely as the Munkins all sang.
"Tra la la la la
Tra la la tra la la
Tra la la la la Laaaaaaaaa–!"
Suddenly a cloud of red smoke appeared before them as an audible 'BOOM' rang through the ears of everyone nearby. All of the Munkins ran out of the way and hid for their lives.
Jeanette cowered in fear, running next to Eleanor as Lilly jumped into her arms.
As the red smoke dissipated, Jeanette gawked at the sight before her.
"Brittany…?" she timidly asked, almost not recognizing her.
Her sister's hair was tied in a barely-visible bun. She wore a classic black witch's hat, and a long black cloak-dress, and black shoes.
She wasn't green – which was odd but Jeanette shrugged this thought off.
"Brittany?" she scoffed. "Who's 'Brittany'?"
"Um, you are." Jeanette said, confused at her sister's weird behavior.
"Jeanette that is the Wicked Witch of the West. She's worse than the one from the east!" Eleanor informed her.
"I thought you said bad witches were ugly Eleanor-?" she started to ask.
"Alright, enough with the charade – who killed the Witch of the East?!" she demanded. She turned to Jeanette. "It was you wasn't it?"
Jeanette's mouth parted in shock. "Wh-what? Brittany I-"
"Fine – if you insist on calling me Brittany go ahead. The name is quite magnificent after all…" The witch chuckled to herself before continuing. "You killed her – didn't you?"
"No, I didn't kill your sister!" Jeanette pleaded.
Brittany laughed meanly. "Why of course not. The Witch of the North is my sister – and she's standing right next to you."
Jeanette glanced at Eleanor before looking back at the witch. "So you and Eleanor are sisters and the Witch of the South and the Witch of the East were sisters?"
"Yes – we tried doing it the old fashioned way where we're both good, but I wanted evil, she wanted good – you get the gist," she explained with a wave of her hand.
Jeanette nodded a little.
"But you did kill the Witch of the East. I can see it in your eyes." she accused.
"She killed her on accident-" Eleanor started.
"SILENCE!" Brittany yelled, Jeanette trembling. "What matters is she is dead and I can now get my gorgeous designer ruby slippers!" Brittany cackled with glee as she looked at the two feet wearing the slippers.
Suddenly a light green mist flew around the shoes and they disappeared.
"What did you do to them?!" Brittany hollered angrily.
Eleanor smiled. "They are now on Jeanette's feet – and that's where they will stay." She gestured her light green wand to Jeanette's feet.
Jeanette looked down in shock to see the exact same shoes Brittany had bought were on her feet, replacing her typical blue shoes.
She gawked at her feet before she heard another yell from Brittany.
"How dare you give my shoes to that homely child!"
"H-homely?" Jeanette said softly, tears brimming at her eyes.
Brittany – her sister –, basically just called her ugly.
"There there Jeanette…" Eleanor soothed her, putting an arm around her shoulder.
"Give them back you worthless twit!" Brittany screamed as she reached for Jeanette, who backed away.
"Oh just leave dear sister…" Eleanor began in sarcasm; when she didn't budge she continued. "Now go on- leave before someone drops a large house on you," she warned her sister.
She glared in response. "That's not funny."
Eleanor giggled anyway. "You and I both know that you have no powers in Munkinland!"
"I hate that rule…" Brittany grumbled, crossing her arms.
She glared in Jeanette's direction. "She is right that I cannot do what I wish with you here. But I am the only one who knows how to control the power of those shoes. So you better believe that you'll see me again."
Brittany sneered, leaning close to Jeanette's face. "I'll get you my ugly duckling-"
Jeanette timidly raised her hand. "I beg your pardon Brittany. But the term 'ugly duckling', refers to a person who seems ugly or unsuccessful at the moment, but will eventually become beautiful and successful."
"Oh whatever!" Brittany yelled in annoyance, throwing her hands in the air. "I'll get you anyways – and those gorgeous shoes! And if I want – I'll get your puppy too!"
She giggled madly. "That dumb Garlank Witch of the East never even saw this comin'!"
The red smoke appeared again; as it disappeared so did the witch.
Eleanor rolled her eyes. "She always makes such a big scene over nothing." She turned to all of the hiding Munkins. "It's all right now – she's gone! You can get up."
They all stood as Eleanor turned to Jeanette. "Like most kindhearted people – you have made an enemy out of the Wicked Witch of the West. The sooner you leave Oz, the safer you'll be Jeanette."
"I definitely want to leave Oz." Jeanette nodded fervently. "But I haven't the slightest idea how to make it back to California."
"Well, I know that the Wizard of Oz himself will certainly be of help to you." she suggested.
"Is he wicked too?" she fearfully asked.
"Oh no, he is very good – although very mysterious… He lives in the Amethyst City; that's pretty far from here. Now you said you were not a witch so I'm assuming you don't have a broomstick?" Eleanor asked.
"I'm afraid not."
"Very well then. You will have to walk. Which shouldn't be too much trouble for you. The Munkins will protect you up to the Munkinland border." she explained.
Jeanette nodded.
"And you have got to remember this Jeanette – never take those ruby shoes of no matter what Brittany says to you. Those shoes protect you from her magic, and once you take them off you will be at her mercy," she warned.
Jeanette shook slightly with fear. "I don't want that to happen."
"It won't as long as you keep the slippers on." Eleanor assured her.
"Okay. But... How do I get to the Wizard?"
"You see that road over there?" she pointed her wand at the yellow brick road starting in the middle of the city.
"S-should I follow it?" she asked.
"Yes. Follow the yellow brick road until you reach the Amethyst City."
"The Amethyst City?" Jeanette asked in confusion. "I thought it was the Emerald City."
"Well we wanted to build an Emerald City, but the name was already taken and the amethysts were cheaper to use to use." Eleanor explained.
"Oh. But what if I get lost?"
"As long as you stay on the yellow brick road – you'll be safe Jeanette."
"What if Brittany finds me?"
"As long as you wear the shoes, you will be protected from her evil." Eleanor assured her, leaning to kiss her forehead.
"What was that for?" Jeanette asked when she backed away.
"It is for your protection. While the Witch of the West can't hurt you with those slippers on your feet – others can. But no one dares injure a person who has been kissed by the Witch of the North. You have a shiny marking on your head now that people will see and know that I gave to you." Eleanor explained with a smile.
"Oh. Well thank you. I'm still afraid though," she admitted.
"You'll definitely be safe until you reach the Amethyst City Jeanette." Eleanor assured her.
"But-" Jeanette started to say.
"Just follow the yellow brick road…" Eleanor said lightly as her mint-green bubble reappeared and drifted her away. The Munkins all called out their goodbyes to her, waving.
Once she was out of sight, they turned to Jeanette.
"Wow, people just don't stay in one place here very long – do they?" she commented.
The Munkins giggled.
"Eleanor and Brittany… as witches. Weird thought." she pondered before shrugging.
They looked at her with expectancy.
"So… Follow the yellow brick road huh?" Jeanette muttered, starting her heels at the beginning of the road.
"Follow the yellow brick road." The Mayor said.
She moved not even three feet when another Munkin stood next to her. "Follow the yellow brick road."
Jeanette got one step in as female Munkin spoke. "Follow the yellow brick road!"
She noted how similar the Munkin had sounded to Brittany as the Barrister spoke. "Follow the yellow brick road!"
She inwardly sighed as they all – predictably –, sang.
"Follow the Yellow Brick Road.
Follow the Yellow Brick Road.
Follow, follow, follow, follow,
Follow the Yellow Brick Road!
Follow the Yellow Brick,
Follow the Yellow Brick,
Follow the Yellow Brick Road!"
She and Lilly continued down the road and five fiddlers followed behind her, in front of the other Munkins.
After a moment of the fiddlers playing, they all sang again.
"You're off to see the Wizard,
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!
You'll find he is a whiz of a Wiz
If ever a Wiz there was.
If ever oh ever a Wiz there was,
The Wizard of Oz is one because
because, because, because, because, because...
Because of the wonderful things he does!"
Jeanette approached the border of Munkinland and the guards stood at the sides of the road.
The Lollipop Guild Munkins that resembled Theodore and Simon stood at the very edge.
She turned to wave at the Munkins and they all waved back, singing again.
"You're off to see the Wizard,
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!"
…~...~...
Okay so I hope you enjoyed this!
Here's some information:
Eleanor is wearing light green instead of pink because... well duh.
Eleanor not being Glinda is a reference to the book- apparently that's the witch of the south's name or something and they just combined all of the good witches into one. Oh, and the kiss on the forehead was explained in the book but not in the movie so that's why I explained it in my parody.
Brittany being the Wicked Witch of the West but still being her pretty little self (and Jeanette pointing this out), was a joking reference to the intended plothole I had... yeeeeah.
Obviously Munkins are Chipmunk-Munchkins... yeeeah. Oh, and the reason they sing and speak deep-voiced is because of irony, and because the whole point of them singing high in the 1939 movie was because that's different than how people really talk... but if Jeanette and the others speak high ALREADY then it's not very different and stand-outish. So they sing/speak low.
And most of them just look like the Chipmunks and Chipettes (minus the mayor who is "Uncle" Harry... yeah don't ask I'm not even sure.)
And the first song was a rewritten thing but it's to the tune of the one in the movie... I hope the rhythm was comprehendible.
And Brittany called Jeanette an 'ugly duckling' because she doesn't think Jeanette's pretty in this... yeeeah Brittany's not meant to be taken very serious in this by the way.
Jeanette correcting Brittany's usage of the phrase 'ugly duckling' is because I searched the actual definition and thought it would be funny...
And it's Amethyst City because purple is Jeanette's color and I wanted SOMETHING to not be like the movie lol.
Okay so one thing is you know how in the movie Dorothy doesn't recognize any of the resemblances of people in Oz and in her home? Well Jeanette does so... yep.
Okay here's the cast:
Jeanette is the 'Dorothy persona'
Eleanor is the Witch of the North
Brittany is the Wicked Witch of the West
Simon is the Scarecrow (because of something I'll explain later...)
Theodore is the Tin Man
Alvin is the Cowardly Lion
Judy Garlank was the Witch of the East
Lilly (the boys' dog) is the 'Toto persona'
and the rest will be surprises... for now anyways.
Hope you enjoyed it!
