I promised you readers a sequel so you will have a sequel. Sorry it took so long but I had to give this idea time to stew. I'm still not totally optimistic about how this story will turn out so I'll be relying on our reviews to let me know if I'm doing well or not…hopefully those of you who read the Emerald Apple will still be interested enough to read this one!

A long time had passed since Elphaba, Fiyero, and Galinda ventured into the pages of a certain romance novel. Things at Shiz had changed. The university's infamous Winkie prince was going out with its resident green girl. Shenshen and Pfannee were bewildered by this abrupt change but Galinda never betrayed an ounce of jealousy; she was happy for her friend. Winter Break was in its home stretch and the student body was slowly sinking down from the heights of freedom. In a week they would be back in their classrooms.

Elphaba Thropp was lounging on her drab sheets reading a fresh copy of New Moon. Beside her Galinda Upland was absorbed in an identical tome. The two girls were reading aloud back and forth. After spending several months in Forks the Twilight Saga had a more personal edge. "'This will be the last time you'll ever see me'," the blonde witch read in a trembling voice. Tears leaked from her expressive blue eyes. The impossible was happening; Edward was leaving Bella.

"I'll finish this part if you can't handle it," Elphaba snapped though she too felt horrible for Bella. During her time in Forks the green girl had struck up an odd friendship with Twilight's fictional heroine. Sighing she read on. "'Goodbye Bella'." Those hard, final words thudded through her brain. "Edward is a jerk," she hissed angrily. "I never liked him."

"Keep reading!" Galinda insisted through her small sobs. "Maybe he changes his mind."

"He doesn't," the green girl informed her roommate quietly as she scanned through the list of months and cryptic analysis of time's passage.

"Poor Bella," the blonde whispered. In a sudden hissy fit Galinda threw her book against a wall, narrowly missing Elphaba's head.

"Hey!"

"Stupid book," the petite girl pouted, crossing her arms.

"I'm sure it will all turn out ok," the raven haired witch assured her friend. "Stephanie Meyer doesn't seem capable of writing an unhappy ending." Elphaba gently set New Moon aside.

"Where are you going?"

"I've got a date with Fiyero," Elphaba explained.

"Can I give you a makeover?" Galinda begged, eyes brightening.

"No," the green girl replied flatly.

"Please?"

"No."

"Oh come on Elphie; it will cheer me up." She gave her friend the puppy dog eyes. With a sigh the green girl relented.

"Fine," Elphaba huffed. "But don't go crazy." About halfway through the torture session Galinda paused while combing her friend's hair. "Hello?" Elphaba called. "You there?"

"I just had a fantabulous idea!" the blonde shrieked. "We can go into New Moon and help Bella through this." The green girl stiffened.

"I told you Galinda," she growled stubbornly. "We are never going back there."

"Why not?"

"You almost died!" Elphaba pointed out, her voice harsh. "It's too dangerous."

"The Cullens left," Galinda insisted. "Without them I'm sure there won't be any more vampires hanging around Forks."

"You don't know that," the green girl snarled. "Without the Cullens any wandering vampire would have free reign. There is no way I am getting us back into that book."

"I could try."

"Good luck with that."

"What's wrong?" Fiyero wondered, his eyes focused on Elphaba's distracted face. The couple was picnicking near Suicide Canal.

"Galinda's being difficult," she admitted with a sigh.

"Care to elaborate?"

"She feels bad about what happens to Bella in New Moon," the green girl explained. "Galinda wants to go into the book and cheer her up."

"You said no?"

"Of course," Elphaba snapped, louder than she'd meant to. Her eyes softened. "It's too dangerous; we haven't even finished reading the book."

"You do realize that it's impossible for Galinda to accept negative statements," Fiyero pointed out, sidling closer to his girlfriend.

"I know that," the green girl assured him. "She threatened to try and get into the book by herself. I'm tempted to go keep an eye on her."

"I'm not sure I can allow that," the Winkie chuckled, pulling Elphaba into his side. The green girl was still somewhat taken aback whenever Fiyero so openly displayed his affection. Blood colored her cheeks. "Are you wearing makeup?"

"It was Galinda's doing not mine," the witch told him with a fond smirk.

"Give your roommate my thanks." Fiyero's teasing statement was met with an elbow in his side.

"Madame Morrible?" Galinda called timidly.

"Come in," replied a grand, sweeping voice. The blonde witch skittered nervously into her sorcery teacher's office. "What do you want dear?"

"Um…I was wondering about that lesson we had right before Winter Break," Galinda squeaked. "The one about transportation spells."

"What about it?"

"Could I maybe copy down one of those spells?" Her query was met with a suspicious glare.

"Why?"

"To practice; I felt as if I didn't totally understand it." After scrutinizing the blonde's expression Madame Morrible smiled.

"Of course my dear," the headmistress responded, pulling a small spellbook from her desk and flipping it open to a dog eared page. "Here it is."

Reviews and plot ideas would be much appreciated!

Sorry that this chapter was kinda slow but it may take a chapter or two to get this story off the ground and into the good stuff…please bear with me…

Let me know how I'm doing…this is a big gamble on my part; it's the first sequel I've ever done

Sorry if the bit about reading the end of New Moon didn't go exactly with the words from the book but I just wanted to give you readers the gist of what part of the book they were in…
