How the Balloon was Launched
- Dorothy doesn't hear anything for three days and she's getting discouraged. Hang in there, girl. Meanwhile, her friends are enjoying their new treasures.
- It's Day Four, and Oz finally sends for her. He tells her the plan: he's going to make a hot-air balloon, and they'll fly into the unknown, hoping to light upon the U.S. eventually. Dorothy's okay with the plan, so they set about making the balloon.
- Oz tells his kingdom that he's going to visit his brother, who lives in the clouds. They think that sounds legit. Also, he leaves the Scarecrow in charge.
- The balloon is about to leave, but Dorothy can't find Toto. He's off chasing a kitten in the crowd.
- Dorothy finds him and heads back, but she doesn't make it. The balloon takes off without her!
- The people are devastated because their leader is gone, and Dorothy is devastated because she missed her ride. Basically, everyone's bummed.
