oh silly relena!! why does every hero have to go alone? or think that they have to go alone?! ugh, but i guess that's what makes them heroes...but anyway, glad to see that you've updated!! XD

I'm delighted to see that you are going to continue this story. No matter how long it takes, so long as a story is finished the author can be forgiven. I can see how this was a difficult chapter to write, it's very transitional but includes a lot of character introspection. I think it was very well done and just the sort of thing that Relena would do. I didn't notice any loss of quality so far, it blends seamlessly with the rest of the story in my opinion. I'm really looking forward to reading the rest and finding out the mystery of the Emerald City, and how the Witch will be defeated, and what's up with J, and how they will find Relena, and how all their wishes will be dealt with, and what's up with Quatre, and how Relena will finally get home and what this will all mean in the end. I really liked how this chapter paralleled that sense of the Gundam guys being Relena's support as she made the difficult decision to commit herself to the potentially dangerous action that she hoped would save the world. Oh, and when Tinman "knocked" on the door. That was really funny, and also in character I think. "Oops." Indeed.

I'm so glad you're back. Don't worry. This chapter was as good as the previous ones. I absolutely adore this story.
Can't wait for more.

Wow it's been such a long time! How could I possibly forget this story!? I did have to re-read a bit of the previous chapter to remember what was going on, but after than I was on my way to this one.

As usual, well done. I absolutely LOVE this story and how well written it is. Keep up the awesome work! I excitedly await the next chapter.

Oh God, Midge, you have no idea what you just did to me. I have no idea what in God's name you were worried about, once again, you have freaken topped yourself. I'm on the most giddyest, delusional, blissful, high right, I might as well have overdosed on morphine or something.This chapter was so brilliant. Just the writing, the SENTENCES were so beautifully constructed and flowed so beautifully and effortlessly. And every little thing, from the setting to what was happening was written out so well, I jsut saw everything so cleary in my mind's eye. My imagination was on overload here.

But above all else, just what was actually happening?! What you made RElena did, and how all of them continue to grow, and their relationships towards one another. Just the beginning had me eyes glued towards the screen. Omg, that garden scene, it was just PERFECTLY executed. I loved every part of their dialogue! Just how you constructed it, and what they were saying and thinking and acting...oh god, it was just so in character and so believable and filled w/ such drama and tension. God it was so beautifulT_T

And Toto, Lion, Tinman, Scarecrow...how each othem seemed to have their own moment in this chapter. LOL, especially Tinman w/ the door knocking?!-BRILLIANCE! I CANNOT GET OVER THAT PART! Just how you so easily made him the comic relief of that scene, which is NEVER done w/ Heero b/c of the way he is and its just so damn difficult w/ his character. And just-its just so creative! LOL. And toto just made my heart ache throughout the entire thing. Literally, every line you write about him, even if it holds no significance at all to the story, has me falling in love w/ him more and more. LOL: and how he was actually hanging upside down by Scarecrow's hand! Argh, I was SO WAITING FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. lol And then Lion! And Scarecrow w/ the dumplings!XD

I know I'm not making sense anymore so I'll cut myself off now. You haven't written a bad chapter yet Midge. SEriously, I do not remember enjoying a fic so much where each chapter remained consistently entertaining, well writte, well thought out, and its just never ever lagging or boring...this story is pure magic. You should be so proud of this.

It lives! Thanks for posting another chapter. I was so swamped with school, this gave me a nice little break and encouraged me to keep trudging on. Just about a month and a half left to go, right?

Anyway, great chapter as usual. I always love seeing where you take this story. Keep it up if you're able. Your true fans will keep waiting patiently. : )

awe unpainted tin soldier!

can we say "Party Night" much?! Love'd that episode! I caught probably all of the allusions to the series.

1.The Paper work
2.Her parents death
3.The school and her friends in the fire
4.Her making her way home by herself
5.The ride to school

I think that was it... but its late and I have to be at work in the morning :( I wish I could read on but I'll probably print out a chapter for work in the morning!

Another awesome chapter and I love the dream sequence!

I cant say it enough I love this story! ^_^

Oh this is getting so good! (sorry I didnt update on the last few chapters I printed them out and read em at work today)

I love the Heero and Relena moments *sighs in delight* its so cute! Its kinda like Beauty and the Beast but Beauty and the Tin man with no heart or does he? dun dun dun!

ah well I'm gonna keep reading even though I SHOULD be going to sleep now for work in the morning... but you are keeping me up with your AMAZING story. Darn you! *waves fits in air* :P

So why did I have the Iron man Theme song in my head when "Tinman" had Mueller in his Grasp! lol. *sigh*

Yet another great chapter! I love fining out what will happen next in Gundam Wing world of oz!

well here comes another chapter!

Yay Heero is back! ^_^

So why did I stop reading when this part came up

" laying his head against her in quiet contentment as she started humming a jaunty little tune about the very yellow brick road they were following and the great Wizard that waited for them at the end."

and I sang the song about ten times before getting back to the story?! And THEN when I was making a turkey sandwich before finishing this chapter WHY was I STILL singing *sigh* lol.

great chapter :) But I'd be surprised if they they wern't all great. ^_^

On to the next chapter ^_^!
"If ever oh ever a Wiz! there was The Wizard of Oz is one because,
Because, because, because, because, because.!"

Oh dang. did I just type that ... XD woops.

Oh my Gosh, I love the symbolism that is placed from the movie but yet its so different! I get excited every time! (after writing the first review I got some snacks, changed in to my pj's and put on my Wizard of Oz T-shirt ^_^) woohoo! I'm pumped!

I love who Quatre is. Before reading this I was wondering who Glenda would be and he is perfect! Oh and how Quatre talked to "Toto" hehe it was so cute. *sigh*

I'm just gonna shut up and keep reading... ^_^

Alright at first I was kind of weary of reading this fan fiction, I love, love, LOVE Wizard of Oz its one of my all time favorite movies! I thought to myself how in the world can you make Gundam Wing in to Oz?

I got outta reading fan fiction for awhile and come back to my yahoo email box of 20 messages worth of the Yahoo group for Gundam Wing (its called Love_Reflection its manly a 1xR but we bend the rules for other pairings too :)) So anyways I'm going though my email deleting, sorting and mostly placing fics in my folder of "stories I need to read". I get to one message called "great new story" So I open it up and read her review of your story. I know her well and when she rants about something being this good it HAS to be good. I printed the first two chapters and went on my way to work this morning. I started reading when I was on my first break and let me tell you I didn't want to put it down! All I could think about is reading where your story will take us next! The characters are great (I've been watching the Gundam Wing series with my friend the last few days) and I found that everyone is in character! Its so perfect I couldn't ask for a better story! I have to use the words that my friend said in that email there's no other way to put it!

"It's one of those stories where you wonder what they were thinking and
then after reading it everything dovetails so well that you find
yourself wondering why no one thought of it before." - Nonny

I cannot wait to read the next 10 chapters! :)

So I guess tonight I'm on my way to the Land of Oz... ^_^

Please finish the story

I love this twist on the Wizard of OZ!
Its genius! And i cannot wait for the next set if chapters to come.

I like how you made Dorothy the somewhat good witch of the west, gotta enjoy Dorothy's character!

Also a plus plus on how you made the characters all interact with each other! Cannot wait til its completed!

Hey Midge, sorry its taken me so long to read this! It was amazing, as I have come to expect from you. I just adore Toto, and of course, Cathy is the girl in the mirror. Any GW fan worth her/his salt would get that :-)

I felt sorry for Tinman when the Wizard made the comment about all Tinman's "siblings" waiting outside the City to attack. That was a pretty low blow! But I'm sure Relena and her friends will manage to beat Une and make it back to get their rewards.

I love this story, Midge. It has to be one of the best stories on the site, and you don't rely on the "Oz" story to carry yours. You make the Emerald City and all of OZ come alive with your descriptions and words, and I just LOVE it.
