Take Me To Oz

Chapter One: The Beginning

"It's a girl!" A doctor proudly announces aloud to the patient, Sue Jacobs, and her close family members who showed up for the birth of her first little girl.
"Oh my goodness! She's the most precious thing! Sue, what's her name?" Sue's mother speaks through tears of joy.
The patient sat, pondering for a moment, then announced, "Ruby Garland Jacobs."
She, of course, just had to name her first born after her favorite movie, which captivated Sue everytime she watched it.
Sue's mother, however, was anything but pleased. "Uh... Honey, don't you thing it's a bit 'naive' of you to name your child after a silly movie?"
"Nonsense! I just birthed a baby and you're complaining to me because of my name choice? That little girl is my baby, so with all due respect, I think it best you don't tell me how to name my baby." Sue whispers in a sassy voice.
"What if your baby can't stand this movie?" Sue's mother fires back harshly.
"Trust me, Mom, she will."

Indeed, Ruby did very much so enjoy The Wizard Of Oz to the point where she began dressing like Dorothy, not just for Halloween, but on a regular basis. By the age of 2 she was belting out the words to "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", and wearing Oz costumes everyday.
One day, while 3 year old Ruby was humming along the words to the Lollipop Guild song and playing with her dolls, her Mom came in and gave her wonderful news.
