*Land of Mangaboos*

Dorothy and the others continued to fall further underground as the frightened cries of Zeb could be heard.

"We're gonna die!! We're gonna die!" Zeb cried out in fear while Dorothy had shaken her head in denial.

"No, we're not gonna die and just keep a calm and cool mind.." Dorothy had advised her cousin as everyone continued to fall further below the ground until a loud crash could be heard indicating that everyone had finally made it to the ground.

"W-Whoa! Where in the world are we?! Is everyone okay?!" Zeb had uttered out in shock while breathing heavily while Dorothy nodded her head.

"I'm fine but it seems Betsy has passed out, we should carry her back into the carriage.." Dorothy had responded back as she looked over at the unconscious body of her friend while Zeb quickly nodded his head in agreement.

"T-That sounds like a good idea but let's see if Jim and your cat are okay, I don't wanna travel if they're hurt but at the same time, I wanna get out of here" Zeb had responded back as he quickly turned around to check on Jim and to his luck, the horse seemed just fine along with Eureka and the carriage.

"Jim, that was quite a nasty fall, right? I'm just glad you are okay.." Zeb had spoken to his horse while gently petting it which prompted the horse to speak.

"You can say that again! My heart was racing faster than my fellow racing horses!" Jim had uttered back in a surprised tone of voice as this surprised Dorothy and Zeb greatly.

"Wait, you can talk?! I'm definitely dreaming! I must be still sleeping back at the station cause all of this is awfully strange" Zeb had spoken out while Dorothy had shaken her head in denial.

"No, you are not dreaming and it seems we're in the Land of Oz or somewhere in this fairyland and I've been there two times already" Dorothy had spoken out to Zeb while she gently grabbed Betsy's head while her cousin walked over to gently grab her legs.

"Really?! This must be a very realistic dream but let's just find a way out of this situation or else my folks would be furious" Zeb had responded back in a tone of worry and confusion as he and Dorothy carried Betsy towards the carriage and gently placed her inside.

"Say, I've recalled your Uncle Henry telling my folks that a tornado swept up y'all's old home nearly six years ago and you and your dog were in the house, was that true?" Zeb had asked Dorothy while entering the front seat to command Jim while Dorothy followed suite.

"Yes, it was terrible; however, I've eventually landed in this strange place and the rest is history" Dorothy had responded back while sitting next to Zeb as she saw the boy nodding his head in understandment.

"I see, well, perhaps you've gone mad from being lost for nearly fifty days! Isn't that right, Jim?" Zeb had spoken back to Dorothy while gently petting Jim in the process which briefly annoyed Dorothy.

"I believe she's telling the truth and I bet she's met plenty of good friends during her travels and if animals like me could talk then we're definitely in this fairyland that Dorothy is referring to" Jim had spoken back in defense of the young girl as this made Dorothy smile.

"See? Jim believes me! I'm not crazy or anything and I know what I've seen, heard, and even talked to" Dorothy had responded back while Zeb sighed to himself.

"W-Well, I-I guess you are right but let's find a way out of here..." Zeb had spoken out in an embarrassed tone of voice as he motioned his hands for Jim to start walking; however, a voice began to call out and it was none other than Eureka the cat.
