"She... she... she's dead!" she cried.
And that would be about the time that Daria actually comprehended that she had inadvertently killed the Wicked Witch of the West.
"Yes. Yes she is! And now, you're... we're free!"
The Winkie woman and Daria went off to spread the news and Daria let Zac out of his prison.
"What about Isaac and Taylor?" Zac asked. "Is there anything we can do for them?"
"I don't know. Maybe the Winkies can help us." Daria suggested.
So the two spoke to the Winkies (who had started setting up for a grand celebration) if there was any way the might rescue their friends.
So a group of the Winkies went with Daria and Zac to find what was left of Isaac and Taylor. They found Taylor's clothes - all the straw had since been blown away, and Isaac was found dented and rusty on the rocks where the winged monkeys had left him.
A few Winkie tinsmiths soon set Isaac right. Taylor was patched with new straw and he was soon as good as new.
There was a fantastic celebration that night. There was wonderful food and dancing and a bonfire, and plenty of music. And everyone had such a great time that the celebrations went on for a few more days!
**********
It was about a week later when Daria, Isaac, Taylor and Zac finally began to pack for their trip back to the Emerald city.
"Must you go?" A Winkie asked Isaac.
"Yes." Isaac replied.
"But we don't want you to!" another complained.
"But I am, if I am got get my heart." Isaac replied. "And if Taylor is to get his brain, and Zac his courage, and Daria to get home."
"Oh, but Isaac, we want you to stay here and rule us!" the first Winkie said. "Won't you? Please?"
"I, uhh, gee... I'm honoured but -"
"Please?" chorused the surrounding Winkies.
Daria, Taylor and Zac all looked at Isaac with amused expressions on their faces.
"I, uhh... well... if you will let me get my heart from the Great Wizard of Oz, I promise I will return and rule over you."
"Yay!" cried the Winkies happily.
While the Winkie were cheering and such, Daria slipped away to get a couple of more things before they set off. In the process, she found a Golden Visor. Thinking this would be very useful in keeping the sun out of her eyes (although, the gold might reflect it into others), she picked it up.
An hour or so later, they were on their way.
