Glinda and Theodora soon found themselves back with Oscar and his companions. When Oscar saw Glinda, he ran up to embrace her. Theodora found herself smiling as she watched the two of them hug. They obviously cared about each other, whether it was romantic love or not. And she was perfectly fine with that.

"I was so worried about you," Glinda whispered to Oscar, breaking out of the embrace. "I thought you had abandoned us."

"I was going to," Oscar admitted," but I could never forgive myself." He suddenly smirked. "Besides, that wouldn't make me much of a wizard, now would it?"

Glinda smiled compassionately at Oscat. "You have the true heart of the leader," she declared. "You will be the best king ever since my father."

"Well, it wasn't just me," Oscar insisted, gesturing towards his companions. "I couldn't have done it by myself. Which reminds me," he added, a smirk playing across his face, "I have some gifts for everyone!"

Theodora watched, smiling, as Oscar handed a gift to each person. After they had gotten their gifts, they left the room, one by one.

When he had gone through everyone but the two witches, Oscar turned to Glinda with solemn eyes.

"You always believed in me," Oscar told her. "You never gave up on me, and I can never thank you enough." He took a slight pause. "Now I know this is a lot to ask for," he began, falling to one knee, "and I know we haven't known each other for long, but Glinda, I love you. Will you marry me?"

Glinda smiled brightly at Oscar. She took a glance at Theodora, who grinned back at her, and turned back to Oscar. "Of course I'll marry you, Oz," she said delightedly.

"Please, call me Oscar," Oscar insisted. "It's my real name, after all." He smiled at Glinda before turning to Theodora.

"Theodora," Oscar began, looking at her with serious eyes, "I know I don't have much to offer for you. But I feel like I must give you something." He took a small pause before going on. "You have to be one of the most faithful people I have ever met. You were there for me, even when I had abandoned you. You helped me save the kingdom, and you fought your own sister despite the obvious repercussions. And for that, you hold a special place in my heart."

Theodora felt her eyes tearing up, but wiped them away as Oscar continued to speak to her. "I would like for you to become my advisor, Theodora," the Wizard proposed. "Now, I know it's not that much, and I won't be mad if you reject the offer-"

Theodora suddenly threw her arms over Oscar and gave him a hug. "Oh, Oscar," she gasped, forgetting to fight back her tears. "Of course I'll be your advisor. I'd be honored."

Oscar found himself laughing as Theodora continued to hug him. "I had no idea my gift was so special to you," he admitted.

Theodora smiled and pulled herself out of the hug. "Anything I receive from you is special, Oscar," she told him. "Glinda is right; you do have the true heart of a leader." She gave him a compassionate look. "I think you really are the Wizard that was prophesied," she expressed.

Oscar looked shocked. "How could that be?" he asked in disbelief. "I don't have any magic, Theodora. "You know that."

Theodora, still smiling, held Oscar's hands in hers as she looked up at him. "The prophecy never said you would have what we considered magic," she reminded him. "What you did-creating that fake army, the fireworks-that was magic in your own way. It's even more special, because you had to create it on your own."

Oscar felt a warm sensation run through his body. "Looks like I pick my assistants well," he said with a hint of smugness. Theodora and Glinda just rolled their eyes at his joke.

"Maybe it's a good thing I'll be living with you," Glinda said, stepping over to Oscar. "That will give someone to make sure your head doesn't get any bigger than it already is."

Oscar pretend to roll his eyes at Glinda. "You're not the boss of me, Glinda," he said, feigning irritation.

"I could be," Glinda challenged, a gleam running in her eyes. "I am a witch, after all. I'm very powerful."

"I am the king, Glinda," Oscar pointed out. "Besides, I'm not scared of you."

"Well, you should be," Glinda warned. Oscar raised an eyebrow at her. "Oh, really? And why is that?'

Glinda let out a laugh. "Who's to say that I'm really a good witch?" she challenged.

Theodora smiled at Oscar and Glinda's flirtatious banter. "Maybe I should leave you two alone," she said, turning to go the other way. "I wouldn't want to disturb this, beautiful moment." There was a hint of sarcasm in her voice, but always admiration. They seemed to really enjoy each other's company.

"Are you sure?" Glinda asked, turning to face her. "We're not bothering you, are we, Theodora?" She looked worried.

Theodora shook her head. "No, your Majesty," she said with a wink. "I just thought you would enjoy some privacy."

Oscar smiled at Theodora. "See?" he said, looking from her to Glinda. "Don't I pick my advisors well?"

Theodora saw Glinda jab Oscar in the elbow as she left the room. She smiled to herself as she thought of the newly engaged couple together.

Though it pained Theodora to think of Oscar not loving her, there was a large part of her that was happy. She had never seen a couple so happy before, and she was happy because of that. Deep down, she knew that Oscar and Glinda were meant for each other.

And that was good enough for her.
