Chapter Text
One week later.
It was 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun had just set and all the children went outside to play.
Except for two of us.
"...why was Dorothy so dumb ...?," I mumbled, after the finishing up lunch.
Tom looked horrified.
"You said a bad word!", Tom gasped, accusingly.
I dismissed it with a shrug.
"Tom, you don't understand...", I continued, "She could have just stayed in the Wizarding World, but nooo, she had to go back to Kansas, like wasn't she the one who told it was boring, and nobody EVER laughed", I paused, "...like, who would go back to a place like that?!",
Tom was silent.
I thought back for a moment, "..I guess...she really missed her home..",
"...but can't she just make Emerald City, her new home?.."
"I know right!", I agreed, eagerly.
"If I was her, I would never come back", I declared, "I would take you too!"
Tom smiled and said wistfully, "I hope there really is magic in Britain..."
Suddenly we could hear some excited screams from the backyard. We ran to the nearest window and we were in awe.
The sky looked as if someone had blissfully painted wonderful colours on it, that were destined to match with the beautiful orange sunset.
And, not only that, small, sparkly, stars came running towards the Mother Earth.
It all looked simply....magical.
"Quick!", I remembered, "Make a wish!",
We quickly joined our hands, closed our eyes, and made a wish.
'I wish to be friends with Tom, forever...and...', I hesitated,'..I hope my parents are safe...'
I gulped audibly and my smile faltered.
'They remember me, right?...'
'They....LOVE me, right...?"
Tom fluttered his eyes open and noticed my saddened expression.
He looked taken aback and then, realization dawned upon him.
He pursed his lips and gave my hands a squeeze.
I snapped my eyes open and looked towards him.
He smiled reassuringly.
His smile calmed me down and I relaxed. We both smiled at each other.
"Thankyou, Tom", I whispered softly.
"Thankyou for being my first friend "
