From the balcony of the Throne Room, Oscar let the crowd see the large green head. " This hologram will be the way you can speak to me from now on".

" I am no longer Oscar Diggs". He smiled. " I am now the Wizard of Oz".

The crowd cheered.

Finley, China Girl and Glinda were now standing next to the Wizard.

" And now some gifts".

The Wizard turned to Finley. " My gift to you is priceless". He shook the monkey's hand. " My friendship".

The Wizard turned to China Girl. " Your gift is also priceless". He held out his arms. " A family". Smiling, China Girl jumped into the Wizard's arms.

Glinda frowned. " I'm sure there is no gift for me".

The Wizard smiled. " I've saved the best for last".

Glinda smiled. " And what gift is that Wizard?".

The Wizard reached over and kissed her.

Finley, China Girl and the crowd cheered.
