Love in Oz (Scarecrow x Reader (Wizard of Oz fanfiction))

Chapter Twenty-Three: Family reunion

So, Candy County has gone through with the idea of going to war with Mombi, the Wheelers, and the monkeys. So all the arguing that I've been doing has fallen on deaf ears. I've been sending them anything they need from Emerald City to assist them much like the other countries. I'm now busy with calculating the best strategies to hopefully end this war early. I don't want it to last years. The Wheelers and Monkeys won't be a problem because they serve the people who they see as superior.

Mombi is that person because she convinced them. So all we need to do is take Mombi into custody and then the Wheelers and Monkeys won't be a problem. I've written maybe fifteen different ideas as to how we do that but none of them would work. I didn't send them to General Candy Apple to test that, I just knew it wouldn't work. I'm so stressed with this. I don't want to make the same mistakes that I made when the Jester was a problem. The world just seems to want me to be constantly stressed out. It's not fun and I hate it!

And I still need to ask Glinda about my parents. But I'm not risking going to Glinda's palace while the war is going on. It's only been going on for a few days. While I was working on another plan to capture Mombi, I became very tired. I haven't slept these past few days. I just went to my room and went to sleep. Maybe then I'll have a clearer mind for the plan. But I didn't dream that night. It was just black but I heard someone's voice. It was a woman singing.

It sounded like Baxiana of Upper Fanarra but why am I hearing her voice? I've never heard her sing in my life so this was so strange to me. It was so soothing, however. I woke up the next morning, the song still echoing in my head. Almost like a song you would listen to constantly until it was stuck in your head. But that's the first time I've ever heard it. Or is this something from my past I don't remember? Whatever it was, I ignored it and went back to work. After so many hours, I finally had the perfect plan to capture Mombi.

I'm not expecting it to work straight away but it's better than fighting without a plan. I had it sent to Candy County and now, we wait. I hope this works. If it doesn't then... I don't know. I'll make a new plan. But I was happy to hear the plan worked in about two weeks. I was with (Y/N) when I got the news and I defiantly surprised her with a spinning hug. I'm just happy that I sort of managed to prove everyone who doubted me wrong. Now I can start on personal matters. Like my parents.

I'm also going to help Tinman find his too as I've talked about it with him and he wanted to know who his parents were. So, we went to Glinda about it, and (Y/N) came along too. But this wasn't going to be as easy as I thought it would be. Tinman and I used to live in different countries. I lived in Winkie Country while Tinman lived in a town in Munchkinland. So I have to go to the West and Tinman has to go to the South. And we both learned something shocking about each other.

Tinman's father is the mayor of the town and my mother I've met on mutable occasions. My father is Marillot Tigelaar and my mother is Baxiana of Upper Fanarra. That explains the voice in my dream. She was singing a lullaby which my mind wanted me to remember. So, Glinda offered to take Tinman to Munchkinland while (Y/N) and I went to Winkie Country. Tinman was obviously nervous as he named out the emotions he was feeling. Well, I'm nervous too for the both of us.

What if our families won't accept us now we're not human anymore? I suppose their love for us might make them not care about our appearances. So, we went our separate ways. The carriage ride to Winkie Country was very quiet. How do I tell them about what happened? Do I explain it like how an army officer would tell the family that their son was killed or missing or do I just tell them?

Or do a bit of both? Maybe a bit of both. We arrived at Winkie Country and went to find the two. It wasn't that hard and we were let in. We met Marillot, Baxiana, and their seven-year-old daughter, Maddie, in a sort of playroom.

"Scarecrow? To what do we owe the pleasure?" Baxiana asked me

"I wanted to talk to you about your son, Fiyero if you're comfortable with it," I said

"What is it? Have you found him?" Marillot asked.

"Erm... yes and no in a way," I said, "As you probably know, Fiyero was part of the army to find and capture the Wicked WItch of the West. But he turned against his troop to protect her. This caused him to be punished for betraying Oz. He was placed in the cornfield that I used to live in before I met (Y/N) and Dorothy Gale. Scared that Fiyero would be killed, the witch cast a spell to protect him from harm and death. It was only a few weeks ago we learned what happened to him."

"What did she do?" Baxiana asked

I hesitated for a moment, "Fiyero was transformed into a scarecrow. And that scarecrow is standing in front of you right now. I'm Fiyero. And I've finally come home."

The room went quiet. Did I make a mistake? I was about to say something when Baxiana hugged me in tears. She was happy to finally see me home and safe after years of nothing. That's when the realization hit me. I have a real family. I have a mother, a father, and a little sister. I hugged my mother back and my father and Maddie joined in. I apologized for not coming sooner and explained what Glinda did with my memories but my father assured me that it was fine and I can just start again.

We separated the hug but Maddie wasn't done yet. She was happy to finally have her brother back. So much she asked our parents if she could stay with me and (Y/N) in Emerald City. Well, that's not a bad idea. I know my parents enough through meetings and things but I know nothing about Maddie. I said it would be fine if she stayed and that this would be a great opportunity for bonding time.

They agreed to let Maddie stay with me and (Y/N) until she wanted to come home. I looked at (Y/N) who was smiling at the family reunion. I introduced them to her properly and Maddie was excited to meet (Y/N). After a few hours of just talking as a family, we left with Maddie to Emerald City. Well, I'm never going to forget this day. I loved every moment of it.
