"Let me get this straight: your sister is in Emerald City helping the fugitive you two rescued who she's also in love with, the Wizard has known you since you were born, he was actually born in your world, and you were born in this one?" Jack asked me, a confused expression plastered on his attractive face as we strolled down the interior balcony hallway in the palace.

"That's the gist of it, yeah... And...and there's something else..." I admitted, trailing off.

"There's more?" he asked, eyebrows arched.

I nodded.

"I think he could be my dad, Jack. It sounds...ludicrous, I know but...how could he be in love with my mother and know us since birth?"I said, my voice soft and distant.

"Hey..." Jack said gently, intertwining his fingers with mine as he grabbed my hand, "All will reveal itself in time. Don't worry about it too much,"

"But what if it's true, Jack? It would explain so much! Like how it feels like home to me in this world and not back in Kansas..."

Jack's metal legs clinked as we walked further down the hall. We didn't pay much attention as a young girl brushed past us. Not until she dropped the tray she was carrying with a loud clink! And we both spun around to face her.

"Jack?" she asked softly and I felt anger course through me as I recognized her.
