(Author's Note: Obviously, if you have not read the first chapter of this magical, erotic epic, you may be at a loss as to what Dotti and her friends have been through to this point. But if you have, I hope you enjoy this naughty ride to its conclusion. I had more fun writing this twisted tale of fantasy than with most of my other works, and I hope it shows. Enjoy.)
Part Two: Wizards and Doms and Heroes, Oh My!
We're in the Emerald City,
Dotti thought with wonder. The diminutive guard escorted the bedazzled teenaged girl and her friends -- Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lionel -- through the polished, jade-hued halls, finally leading them to yet another enormous door. There, the guard spun about and gave them a grave look.
"Now, steel yerselves," he said. "Meeting the Wizard is not for the faint of heart. Ye have been warned."
Dotti, Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lionel all nodded, and the guard went on his way
Dotti took a breath, looked to her friends. "Ready?"
"Ready!" they answered in unison.
Dotti faced the doors, then, with a mighty shove, threw them open.
The chamber that faced them was enormous, easily as large as the courtyard, perhaps more so. Windows were set in the walls every ten paces or so, running from floor to thirty-foot ceiling. There was not a single piece of furniture to be seen; the floors and walls were bare, and everything glowed with a deep viridian radiance. Toward the far end of the room was a small archway concealed by a brass-colored curtain.
Tentatively, Dotti stepped into the chamber, flanked by her companions. They did not know what to expect, but the guard's eerie warning lingered in their minds.
"H-hello?" called Dotti, her voice echoing.
"Shh!" exclaimed Tin Man. "Don't provoke him!"
Doti nodded. "Right," she said. "We'll just wait, and be patient, and -- oh, my gosh!"
The air some fifteen feet before them shimmered, and then an image appeared, slightly transparent, of a gigantic baby's face with deep green eyes, a blonde swirl of hair at the top of it's head, and two protruding front teeth that were fully revealed as it grinned.
"WHO DISTURBS THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF FUZZ?" came the magnified impish voice.
Dotti slapped a hand over her heart, her fear tempered by the comical appearance of the giant floating baby head. She took a moment to gather her wits, noting her companions doing the same . . . except for Scarecrow, of course, who plucked at stray strands of straw jutting from beneath his hat.
"
You
are the Wizard of Fuzz?" asked Dotti in a loud voice.
"WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?"
Dotti thought a moment. "I don't know . . . a wizard? You know, long robe, staff, grey beard? Haven't you seen any of the
Harry Potter
movies?"
The baby face contorted and stuck out its tongue. "
PFRBRBET
! J.K. ROWLING CAN SUCK MY DICK."
Dotti gasped. "Now, that's just plain rude!"
The baby face vanished abruptly with a small popping sound. The curtain at the far end parted, cast aside by a stocky, pudgy man clad in a dark tailored suit. He waddled out with quick steps, a hard look upon his wrinkled, grandfatherly face. He had short-cropped wide hair and a round face with smallish features.
"Not if you knew her like I do," he said, coming to a stop before Dotti. "Bitch stole all my ideas." He made an effort to smile amiably. "But, that's all in the past. She has her millions, and I have my . . . anyway, what brings you to me?"
Dotti pointed, her brow wrinkled. "
You're
the wizard?" she asked.
He rolled his eyes. "Yes, I am the great and powerful Wizard of Fuzz," he said. "I'm sure you pictured some inhumanly tall, emaciated, cloak-wearing toothpick of a man, but, to be honest, I live quite well, and there's nothing I can do about my height." He clapped his hands together, rubbed them vigorously for a moment.
"So, what is it you need?" he asked Dotti, then thrust out his palm to interrupt any response. "No, wait, let me guess: You need . . . a love potion. Yes, that's it! You're hot for the quarterback, but he's not interested. No problem."
Dotti began to say something as the Wizard continued, looking to Tin Man. "Ah, well, you're problem is obvious. You need a tan. That's easily fixed. Now, you, straw man, hmm . . . you look familiarโ"
"No!" cried Dotti, stamping her feet. "You've got it all wrong!"
The Wizard looked to her, an insulted look on his face. "Oh, I don't think so. I'm a wizard! What are you?"
Dotti pouted, hurt. "I'm just a girl from Kansas," she said. "And I want to go home. Oh . . . and I need some fuzz."
The Wizard cocked a brow. "Kansas, you say?" he asked, interested. "As in . . . the real world?"
"Why . . . yes," said Dotti.
Scarecrow held up a single finger. "Well, the concept of the 'real world,' versus all possible worlds in the cosmos is a difficult thing to address. Witness Einstein, and Kirkegaardโ"
The Wizard soured. "Now I recognize you," he said smartly, cutting the straw man off. He looked back to Dotti with a smile. "Tell me what happened."
Dotti drew a breath. "Well, it started like this . . . ."

". . . and that's how we got here," Dotti finished. The five of them sat about on the floor, surrounding a large bowl of chips and salsa.
The Wizard nodded. "Hmm. I think I can help you," he said.
Dotti brightened, elated with hope. "You can? Oh, Mr. Wizardโ"
He held up his hands. "Please, call me Willie."
Dotti smacked her lips together. "A wizard named Willie?" she queried.
"What, you were expecting something more profound?" he asked wanly.
