(Reunion with Polychrome)
*July 14th, 1906*
*Rainbow Kingdom*
Dorothy and the others finally stood in front of the palace which was quite beautiful.
The palace appeared to be rich in rainbow colors and had a medieval yet modern feel, with plenty of buildings to support it.
"Polychrome's place is beautiful. I can't wait to see my friend once more. I just wish Button-Bright and Shaggy Man were here to see this.." Dorothy spoke in wonder while looking at the giant, beautiful door as Omby Amby nodded in agreement before knocking on the door.
"This rainbow place is quite beautiful! For a second I thought we were in Heaven or something, but this seems like the real deal." Uncle Henry spoke in a surprised manner while he waited for the door to open alongside his wife and adoptive daughter.
There were a few seconds of waiting before the doors eventually opened to reveal Polychrome, and she was excited to see Dorothy once more.
"D-Dorothy! You came! You've kept your promise to see me once you come back to Oz!" Polychrome greeted Dorothy joyfully as she jumped over to hug her friend warmly which made Omby Amby, Aunt Em, and Uncle Henry smile at this.
"Of course, you were the first person I thought of when I came to Oz. It's great seeing you again, how have things been?" Dorothy asked Polychrome, hugging her back warmly while she waited for an answer from her friend.
"I've been doing great. I've just been working on my powers, that's all, and you?" Polychrome responded with a smile before releasing herself from the hug as Dorothy began to speak.
"That's wonderful. I've been doing well recently, and I want you to meet two people who are the world to me." Dorothy responded with a smile while she and the others officially entered the palace.
"I would love to meet them, and I'm glad that you are doing well, so who are the people I should meet?" Polychrome responded with a warm smile while looking to see Dorothy signaling for Uncle Henry and Aunt Em to introduce themselves. Both Uncle Henry and Aunt Em would officially introduce themselves to Polychrome as they waved at her.
"Good Afternoon, I'm Henry Gale. It's a pleasure to meet you. Your kind seems to be quite nice. I hope we can make the stay worth it." Uncle Henry greeted Polychrome while tipping his hat to show respect which made Polychrome smile.
"And I'm Emillia, but you could call me Em for short and It's also a pleasure to meet you." Aunt Em greeted Polychrome as well. Polychrome smiled at both adults as she began shaking their hands fondly.
"Glad to meet you! I'm Polychrome, and I'm roughly 1,000 years old. I'm the youngest out of my older sisters, but that doesn't mean I'm a pushover." Polychrome responded politely, shaking hands with Uncle Henry and Aunt Em while Dorothy immediately began questioning this.
"Wait, I thought you were millions of years old?" Dorothy asked her friend curiously while Polychrome giggled before making a silly face.
"I miscounted. I thought one thousand was a million, and I assumed that until my sisters had to remind me…" Polychrome responded, giggling to herself while sticking her tongue out and gently bopping herself on the head.
"I-I see, but that's still quite a lot of years behind your back" Dorothy responded with a chuckle while Polychrome chuckled.
"I agree, and You should have seen the look on my face when I found out I was 1,000 years old. It was priceless, but let's head over to my room! I have much to show you." Polychrome responded to Dorothy, gently grabbing her before taking her upstairs to her room while Uncle Henry, Aunt Em, and Omby Amby watched with smiles on their faces.
"Dorothy is always making friends around here. The young rainbow lady is also beautiful as well, I'll give her that" Aunt Em spoke to her husband before sitting down on one of the couches alongside Uncle Henry and Omby Amby.
"Who knew Oz would be such a beautiful place, but I reckon it's dangerous as well. Who knows what kind of people Dorothy has encountered.." Uncle Henry responded, sitting down on the couch as well while Aunt Em nodded in agreement.
"Perhaps we should get to know each other more while the girls are busy, and it's only natural considering I'm looking after Dorothy and the both of you, right?" Omby Amby advised Uncle Henry and Aunt Em as both adults nodded while letting out small smiles.
*Polychrome's Room*
Dorothy entered Polychrome's room, and the room itself was quite beautiful as the colors were that of a rainbow, and filled with plenty of portraits of Polychrome with her family, making Dorothy smile.
The room was also filled with beautiful couches and a large bed.
"Your room is beautiful. I wish I had a room like this. It's so comfy!" Dorothy complimented Polychrome with a smile on her face while sitting on the couch alongside her friend.
"Thank you! That means a lot. I'm not used to having friends or people that's not my sisters in my room, so that makes me happy." Polychrome responded, smiling at her friend.
"Where's your family at? It seems like you're alone for today.l Dorothy asked her friend curiously while she waited for an answer from her.
"My father is out on important royal duties while my mother and sisters are spending time together, but I don't mind being alone at times.." Polychrome responded joyfully while Dorothy grew slightly concerned at this as she spoke once more.
"Really? Why didn't you come with your mother and siblings? You're definitely not sick or anything." Dorothy asked Polychrome, hoping to get a clear picture about the situation; however, Polychrome giggled at her friend as she began to speak.
"Oh, well, I decided not to go. I'm quite anti-social on certain days, so I rejected the offer.." Polychrome responded with a chuckle while Dorothy nodded understandably.
"I see, but does it get lonely at times when you're alone in such a big place. I would recommend you at least going out with your family once in a while, but that's just my personal choice." Dorothy responded in a comforting way while Polychrome spoke once more to her friend.
"Like I said, I don't get lonely, but I do kinda get bored since there's not much to do when you're alone, but I'm roughly twenty-two biologically, so I still have plenty of time to do the fun things I want." Polychrome responded while looking at Dorothy who had a rather concerned look on her face.
"I see, well, it doesn't hurt to spend time with your family once in a while. I just don't want you to be alone most of the time, but I can't force you to take my advice." Dorothy responded once more as this made Polychrome smile.
"Aww, thanks. It's not anything serious, but I'm glad that you are looking out for me. It means a lot." Polychrome responded to her friend warmly while she got up from the couch to take a view of the kingdom.
Polychrome stared out from her window for a few seconds before finally speaking once more.
"Friend, I'm coming with you! It's also a great way for me to get familiar with your caregivers, right?" Polychrome spoke to Dorothy as she smiled brightly at her friend, as this surprised Dorothy.
"R-Really?! That's wonderful! We might be also Oz as well, so that would really be great company." Dorothy responded, jumping up and down with joy while Polychrome followed suit.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's head downstairs, so we can go to whatever the next destination might be." Polychrome spoke to Dorothy, smiling at her as she stood in front of the door while Dorothy followed suite.
"Right. We have so much to do, and this is a good time for you to get to know my Aunt Em and Uncle Henry as well." Dorothy responded warmly as she and Polychrome made their way downstairs.
The two girls joyfully ran downstairs to meet up with Omby Amby, Aunt Em, and Uncle Henry.
"Alright, maybe we should visit Miss Cuttenclip next. Ozma told us that she always wanted to meet Dorothy, how does that sound?" Omby Amby spoke to everyone while Dorothy and the others were excited at this.
"Sounds wonderful! I would like to meet her as well." Dorothy responded joyfully while the others nodded in agreement.
"She sounds like a fine young lady, so we're open to meeting her. The more friends Dorothy makes, the better." Aunt Em spoke as well while Uncle Henry nodded in agreement.
"Then it's settled! We shall head over to Miss Cuttenclip's home.." Omby Amby responded with a smile before using his staff to send himself and everyone else straight to Miss Cuttenclip's home.
*Nome Kingdom*
Deep in the caverns of the kingdom, a huge crash could be heard which was followed by strange goo oozing from the shards of the glass.
An eerie moan could be heard from the wreck, and there laid a medium sized creature that resembled a creatonotos gangis which eventually dug its way below the ground, traveling to an unknown destination…
