When they get to the castle where Oz lived he refused to see them and they got very mad and found a way to sneak in.

The little people of Oz came out singing and dancing thanking Dorothy looking at her as a hero. Then the witch of the East (a very beautiful witch I may add) comes to greet Dorothy and thanks her.
