Setting: The next morning Dorothy, Scarecrow, and Tin Man leave the cabin. By midday they enter a dark forest.

Dorothy: Are you two scared as I am?

Scarecrow: Yeah.

Tin Man: No.

Dorothy: How are you not scared Tin Man? Its dark and scary.

Tin Man: Think of it this way. The woods are just trees. The trees are just wood.

Dorothy: Zelena may have stolen your heart but you sure have a lot of courage.

"Suddenly a roaring sound appears. Dorothy, Scarecrow, Toto, and Tin Man huddle together closely in fear."

Scarecrow : I thought you weren't scared Tin Man.

Tin Man: I said I wasn't afraid of Woods not sounds.

"Suddenly the Lion appears."

Lion: Raaaaar!!!! Who dare wake me?! Was it you!?

"He looks at Scarecrow. Scarecrow shakes his head No."

Lion: Or was it you?!

"Lion looks at Tin Man. Tin Man shakes his head No. Toto jumps out of Dorothy's arms. He bites Lion's tail. Lion chases him and Dorothy throws a rock at Lion. Lion starts crying."

Dorothy: Why are you crying? You're a lion.

Lion: Easy for you to say. I don't have any courage.

Scarecrow: Everyone has some courage.

Lion: Not me. The Wicked Witch took it.

Dorothy: She took something from you too.

Lion: Yep.

Dorothy: Hmmmm…maybe you can come with us to defeat her.

Lion: How?

Scarecrow: We am in search of enchanted water that can destroy her.

Lion: Well I'll Gladly accompany you on this journey.

Tin Man: Great!

Dorothy: Here's my questions. Why a heart? Why a brain? Why courage?

Lion: Unfortunately I don't know.
