Daria took off the Golden Visor and started fanning herself with it, when she noticed something.
"Hey, what's that?" she asked.
"What's what?" Taylor inquired.
Daria had noticed an inscription on the inside of the Golden Visor. There were some strange words and some directions. She told her friends of what she had seen.
"I wonder what happens?" Zac asked.
"Hmm. Let's find out."
So Daria put the Golden Visor back on, and said the words according to the directions. When she had said the last word, there was the sound of flapping and chattering and our travelers nearly scared themselves silly! For the charm of the Golden Visor had summoned the winged monkeys!
But to their surprise, the monkeys did not try to kill them as they did last time. Instead the leader actually bowed down to Daria.
"You now have the right to command us to do three things." Said the leader. "What is your first wish?"
Daria, Isaac, Taylor and Zac stared at each other, then at the winged monkeys, and then back at each other.
"I, uhh, well, can you take us to the Emerald City?" Daria asked nervously.
"Certainly."
And the monkeys picked them up and began to carry them all to the Emerald City.
"Wow." Daria commented. "Who would have thought?"
It was a long flight, but the speed at which the monkeys were able to fly was incredible. An hour or so later, they could see the marvelous green walls of the Emerald City, and the monkeys set them down outside the gates. Then, with a great whirring of wings, the monkeys flew off again.
"Well, well, well!" Isaac commented appreciatively.
"That was some flight!" Taylor added.
"What a good thing it was that you took the Golden Visor with us Daria." Zac put in.
"Definitely." Daria agreed.
They walked over to the gates and knocked loudly. A moment later the Guardian had arrived.
"I say, what are you doing back here?" he asked.
"To see the Wizard of Oz -"Taylor began.
"But didn't he tell you to kill the Wicked Witch?" The Guardian demanded suspiciously.
"Yes, he did, and she is." Zac answered.
"Daria melted her." Isaac added.
The Guardian's eyes gleamed.
"Well, well! Come, in, come in, by all means, come in!"
