Wicked Comet part 1

The sun shone brightly down on the land of Oz, all

across the land everything was peaceful.

In Shiz university, things were just as peaceful. But

in one particular room, two very unique individuals were having a discussion. These were Elphaba and

Richmond Thropp. Both of them were cousins and

the closest cousins could be. Richmond or "Rich" as he preferred to be called was the eldest by around 2 months; he had short Fiery Red hair and turquoise eyes that shone in the light of the multiple candles that were lit in his Private Dormitory room. He also wore a pair of thin rimmed spectacles which he used for Reading.

Elphaba Thropp was the younger of the two, she had long raven black hair and brown eyes and she would be considered very beautiful, the only issue was that Elphaba's skin was bright Green! This had been a source of ridicule and hate from others to her for most of Elphaba's life. Rich had always been there for Elphaba since he lived just down the road from Elphaba's home and had always defended her when the need arose. Rich was also a keen inventor and Engineer, ever since he was 6 years of age, Rich had designed devices to help people less fortunate than he. He had even designed a clockwork device for Elphaba's wheelchair bound sister Nessarose which made the wheelchair able to go faster with less effort on Nessa's part which saved her a lot of strain on her arms.

"Rich, there's a party on at the Ozdust tonight" Elphaba said to Rich.

Rich turned round in his swivel chair and looked right at Elphaba.

"and why would i want to go to a party? You know i have a lot of work to do" Rich replied.

"oh Rich, you've been stuck indoors working since we arrived here! You need to loosen up a little" Elphaba retorted.

Rich knew that it was stupid to continue arguing with Elphaba since she always won arguements so he sighed and said,

"alright, i'll go. But we both know that i am a very bad dancer!"

Elphaba nodded and the two cousins went to their respective Dorms to get ready for the party at the

Ozdust Ballroom.

SEVERAL HOURS LATER

Rich waited outside the Ozdust's doors for Elphaba to arrive, he had already seen Nessarose enter the room with a munchkinlander by the name of "Boq" or "Biq" as Galinda called him. So he knew that Elphaba wouldn't be very far behind. Right now, Rich was wearing his smartest suit, like all of his clothes the suit was designed for Practicality over style. Consulting his wrist watch (Which Rich had made himself),

Rich breathed through his teeth.

"at this rate, the party will be over before Elphaba gets here" he thought to himself.

Just as the thought passed his mind, Rich heard the sound of running footsteps, he looked up to see Elphaba in a simple navy blue dress running towards him. She hardly looked like the Elphaba he was used to. But then Rich's eyes were drawn to the ugly black hat resting on Elphaba's head.

"Uh, Elphie, are you sure you should be wearing that?" Rich asked in concern whilst gesturing to the hat.

"it was a gift from Galinda" Elphaba replied simply.

"yeah, it might have been but i think it might have been given with less than pure intentions" Rich retorted.

Elphaba just rolled her eyes and pushed the Ozdust's doors as she strode confidently in with Rich close behind.

When Rich finally arrived into the main ballroom he was already too late. The music had stopped and everyone was staring at Elphaba who was standing in the middle of the dance floor all by herself.

Then to everyone's surprise, Elphaba started to dance all on her own with no music!

"Way to go Elphie" Rich murmured under his breath and a proud smile on his face as he joined the dancefloor and walked over to one side to get a drink.

At that exact moment Galinda, obviously feeling guilty about her childish prank, joined Elphaba on the dancefloor. The two started to dance quite badly but obviously they were enjoying themselves. Eventually, one by one, everyone else started to resume their dancing. As sweet music began to fill the air again, Rich made his way over to Galinda and said to her quietly,

"That was a rather childish prank you pulled on my cousin."

"I know, i feel horrible about it even now" Galinda replied solemly.

"well at least you redeemed yourself. There are very few people that would." Rich added wisely.

Galinda nodded and moved back to the dancefloor and resumed dancing with Fiyero. Rich just stood there, drink in hand, watching Elphaba, Galinda, Fiyero, Nessarose, Boq and the others in the Ozdust dance the night away.
