(Crossing the Deadly Desert)
*June 15th, 1906*
*Deadly Desert*
Dorothy and Polychrome stood in happiness after reading the sign while jumping up and down with joy.
"But, how do you cross it? If anyone touches the desert then they'll turn into dust and die. What shall we do?" Polychrome asked Dorothy curiously while seeing her friend having the same look of confusion as well.
"I don't know but it seems we'll have to wait until the morning so we may as well sleep in this place for the remainder of our time." Dorothy answered back while walking over to Shaggy Man and Button-Bright with Polychrome following her along.
"I see, we should get some sleep. We've been up all day so wasting our energy at this point won't do us any good" Polychrome responded while continuing to walk with her friend before resting on the ground while Dorothy slumped over on a tree before yawning.
"I agree, It seems that Shaggy Man and Button-Bright are fast asleep. Today must have been exhausting for them, just like for me and you" Dorothy spoke to Polychrome once more while looking over to see Toto running toward which made the young girl smile as she allowed the dog to sleep beside her while Polychrome watched.
"Do you remember the last time you crossed the desert? If you've been to Oz then surely you found a way to cross the Deadly Desert with little to zero problem" Polychrome asked Dorothy curiously while pointing at the desert that was nearby before turning back to her friend, waiting for an answer.
"I've crossed the desert four times throughout my adventures here. The first time was the tornado six years ago which carried my house across the desert, the second time was when the silver shoes sent me home, the third time was Ozma taking me across it with her magic carpet, and finally, the silver shoes once again took me home" Dorothy explained to Polychrome while the rainbow girl nodded in an understanding way before speaking once more.
"So it was magic, right? I wish my father would come for me. I would have shown you and the others my home while we crossed the desert but alas.." Polychrome spoke to her friend once more while resting her head on her fist before making a pouty face in the process.
"Maybe you should ask your father that. I would love to meet your older sisters one of these days.." Dorothy spoke back before her face quickly lightened up in surprise which made Polychrome curious while the young girl began to speak once more.
"Wait! We can invite your father and sisters to Ozma's birthday party? Once we get to Emerald City, I can ask Ozma and see if you and the others can come to the party. It's gonna be fun" Dorothy spoke to Polychrome once more but with more excitement in her voice as she let out a joyful face while Polychrome smiled back.
"R-Really?! That would be wonderful. I never had any friends before so this is all new to me but thank you for the offer. It means a lot to me" Polychrome responded while maintaining her warm smile which made Dorothy smile even more.
"Of course, anything for my friends." Dorothy spoke once more while both girls shared a warm smile and, for the remainder of the night, the girls eventually fell asleep.
*June 16th, 1906*
The next morning arrived with Dorothy and the gang eating apples from the trees for breakfast while thinking of ways to cross the desert.
"So, does anyone have any way of crossing this pesky desert? I can't figure out any other options' ' Dorothy asked her friends before taking a bite from her apple and brushing her hair while Button-Bright shrugged his shoulders.
