We're Off To Kill The Dragon (Wizard Of Oz Interlude)
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 6633

The road was built out of yellow sandstone. Long ago, it might have been
divided into brick shapes, but erosion had blurred the lines, so that now
it was just a faded yellowish dirt path. It was linedby lush green grass.
All was quiet A small gold-colored warty amphibian hopped onto the road, and then proceeded to vomit onto the ground. Soon, a muffled singing came upwind. From over a hill, Fred and Belboz skipped merrily along the road, holding hands and chanting inanely. Suddenly Belboz stopped, and Fred continued, yanking the magician along. Belboz fell into the dirt, dragged along by Fred, still singing the bizarre melody. "Stop! Stop! Mmmrrmph! Stop!" screamed Belboz, spitting out yellow sand. Finally Fred stopped, letting go of Belboz's arm, which immediately went limp. "What is it?" he asked irritably. "Why the hell are we singing?" said the magician, getting to his feet and dusting himself off. "And what about? Gods, what are we even doing?" "We're following the yellow sick toad. Remember?" Fred tapped the side of his head, regarding the wizard as though he was drooling like a madman. "Why on earth are we doing that, though?" Fred looked confused. "I...don't know. I just felt that I had to, when I stepped on the path. "Yeah," said Belboz. "Yeah, me too." "Huh," said Fred. "Well, I guess we can stop now." At that moment, things began to happen very quickly. A small, brightly-dressed figure leapt out of the bushes and squeaked at them. Belboz started at the intrusion, and a farmhouse fell out of the air in front of the two travelers and squashed the midget flat. His feet, still horribly peeking out from underneath the porch, curled up and were pulled in. The pair stared ahead vacantly for a while. Then Fred turned to Belboz and said, "What happened?" "Sorry. Happens sometimes when I'm nervous. Public speaking is hell." Suddenly, the duo could hear voices whispering around them. A group of dwarfs appeared from out of the grass, singing a squeaky soprano anthem about how the witch was, apparently, dead. One dwarf, who must have been the leader, shuffled up to them, and said "I represent the Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild, the- hey! that's not the witch! You bastards crushed Paul!" "Oops," said Belboz sheepishly.
