(Okay this is a bit of Tom and Jerry and the original with a hint of my twist)

In Kansas which is tinted in sepia tone meaning that it's boring. A young girl who is wearing a light blue dress gingham over her white shirt, two braided pigtails and black shoes. This is Dorothy Gale running down the country road with her small brown terrier dog Toto, and a beagle, with her cats, Garfield and Vic.
Dorothy Gale said worried "She isn't coming yet, Toto. Did she hurt you? She tried to, didn't she? Come on, we'll go tell Uncle Henry and Auntie Em. Come on Toto."

Dorothy rushes home to tell her Uncle Henry and Auntie Em. But they're concerned about the broken incubator and they're counting the chicks. Dorothy flings the gate open.
Dorothy Gale shouted running up to Auntie Em "Aunt Em! Aunt Em! Just listen what Miss Gulch did to Toto."
Auntie Em was not listening as she counted the chicks "Dorothy, please we're trying to count."
Dorothy Gale was protesting trying to get her aunt and uncle to listen "Oh, but Aunt Em she hit him."
Uncle Henry said "Don't bother us, honey. This old incubators gone bad and we're likely to lose some of our chicks."
Dorothy Gale saw a chick, concerned and picks it up "Oh, the poor little things." Said getting back on subject "Oh, but Aunt Em. Miss Gulch hit Toto right over with the back of a rake. Just because he gets in her garden, he chases her nasty old cat away."
Auntie Em said continuing to count "Seventy, Dorothy please!"
Dorothy Gale said "Oh, but he doesn't do it every day. Just once or twice a week. He can't catch her old cat anyway. And now she's gonna get the sheriff."
Auntie Em said "Dorothy, Dorothy, we're busy."
Dorothy Gale said understanding and walks away "Oh, all right."

Garfield said "Oh! That aunt and uncle...make me so mad!" Odie growled. Vic said "Well what are you going to do? Humans." They walked with Dorothy. Garfield said "Sometimes I'd like to give her motivation but she doesn't even hear us."

The farm workers are fixing a wagon in the farmyard.
Hunk said "How's she coming? Take it easy." He accidentally hurts his finger "Ow! You got my finger!"
Zeke asked "Why don't you get your finger out of the way?"
Hunk said "There you are, right on my finger."
Zeke said "It's a lucky thing it wasn't in your head."
Dorothy Gale said "Zeke, what am I going to do about Miss Gulch? Just because he chases her old cat-"
Zeke said "Listen honey, I got them hogs to get in."
Hunk said "Now look it Dorothy, you ain't using your head about Miss Gulch, You'd think you didn't have any brains at all."

Dorothy Gale said "I have so got brains."
Hunk said "Well, why don't you use them? When you come home don't by Miss Gulch's place. Then Toto won't get in her garden, and you won't get in no trouble see?"
Dorothy Gale said "Oh, Hunk, you just won't listen that's all."
Hunk said "Well, your head ain't made of straw you know." Odie barks scaring Hunk, making him hurt his finger again, while hammering. Odie walked off laughing satisfied.

Zeke was herding the pigs into the enclosure "Say, get in there before I make a dime bank out of you." He said to Dorothy "Listen, kid are gonna let that old Gulch heifer try and buffalo you? She ain't nothing to be afraid of. Have a little courage, thats all."
Dorothy Gale said ealking on the pig-pen fence top "I'm not afraid of her."

Zeke said "Well, the next time she squawks, walk right up to her and spit her in the eye. That's what I'd do."

Dorothy then falls into the pig sty. This causes Zeke and the cats to help Dorothy out before she gets trampled. The cats began scratching and yowling at the pigs scaring them away from Dorothy.

Dorothy Gale said scared "Oh! Zeke! Garfield! Vic! Help! Help me, Zeke! Get me out of here!" Zeke picked up Dorothy and carries her out of the pig sty. Hunk and Hickory are concerned about what happened to Dorothy.
Hickory asked "Are you all right, Dorothy?"
Dorothy Gale replied "Yes, I'm all right. Oh, I fell in, and Zeke." She saw Zeke wiping sweat off his forehead as Garfield and Vic jumped onto the ground. "Why, Zeke you're just as scared as I am."
Hunk said jokingly "What's the matter? You're gonna let a little old pig make a coward out of you?" He chuckled. "Look at you, Zeke."

Auntie Em said walking up "Here, here, whats all this jabber-wapping where there's work to be done? I know three shiftless farm hands that'll be out of the job, before they know it."
Hickory said "Well, Dorothy was walking along-"
Auntie Em said "I saw you tinkering with that contraption Hickory. Now you and Hunk get back to that wagon."
Hickory said "All right, Mrs Gale. But someday, they're gonna react a statue to me in this town."

Auntie Em said "Well, don't start posing for it now." Hunk laughs and Auntie Em gives them fresh baked crullers "Here, here, can't work on an empty stomach, have some crullers."
Hunk took a cruller "Gosh, Mrs Gale."
Hickory took one as well "Thanks." They walk back to the wagon" Auntie Em said "Just fried."
Zeke said "You see, Dorothy toppled into-"
Auntie Em said "It's no place for Dorothy around a pigsty! Now you go feed those hogs before they worry themselves into anemia!"
Zeke gets up and Nodding his head "Yes, ma'am." He goes back to the pigsty
Dorothy Gale takes the cruller "Auntie Em really, you know what Miss Gulch said she was going to do to Toto?"

Auntie Em said sternly "Now, Dorothy dear stop even imagining things. You always get yourself into a fret over nothing. She starts patting her back. "Now you just help us out today and find yourself a place where you won't get into any trouble." Auntie em began walking away.
Dorothy Gale said to herself "Someplace where there isn't any trouble." She began talking to Toto as she gave the pets a bit of cruller "Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto? There must be. It's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It's far, far away. Behind the moon... Beyond the rain." She begins singing "Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high There's a land that I've heard of, once in a lullaby" the boys looked over the hay bale looking happy "Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true" they followed Dorothy then they leaned on a fence post.
"Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?" The birds are singing as the sun shines through the clouds, the birds landed on the fence post where the three were. Garfield looked at the two birds looking mad then shooed them off then fell off the fence, Vic and odie saw him fall. Then Garifeld climbed back up the fence. They continued listening to Dorothy as she sang.
Dorothy Gale continue singing "If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I?"
The song ends and Dorothy hugs Toto affectionately.
