It was a cold day in Redwall Abbey. There were many creatures in one room. There was a TV in the front of the room. The animals, which were all from different books and times, were very irritated. Especially as the author threw in their enemies.

"So we are here why?" an annoyed mouse asked.

"Because I told you to," the author said, "Don't worry. You'll have fun."

"Are we late?ཀ" Martin panted as he ran in the room with Rose.

"Oh no, you're just in time," the author replied.

"JUST IN TIME FOR WHAT??" everyone yelled.

"The movie. The Wizard of Oz," she replied, "Now I know you're asking, what the heck are you talking about, but you'll see." The creatures watched, either enraptured, annoyed or bored. It finished and everyone got up and moved toward the door. "Not so fastཀ" The door slammed shut. "Don't you want to know why I made you watch that?"

"Not really, now let's go!" Mattimeo said, pulling on the door.

"Yes you do. Now listen. You're going to see the awesomest, coolest, best musical ever. Wickedཀ" Blank stares. "I'll explain. It's a musical about what happened before Dorothy dropped in. The untold story of the witches of Oz. It's about how one became good and one wicked and their adventures together," the author gushed.

"Okaaaaaay . . . why?" Constance grumbled.

"'Cause, ok? Now hold on tight!" the author yelled. Then they found themselves all squished on an Underground train.

"WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH THIS IS SCARY!!!!" Cluny screamed, clinging on for dear life on a pole.

"IT'S ALL DARKISH OUTSIDE!!!!" Slagar wailed.

"You're not going to die," Matthias sneered, "We're on some kind of train."

"This is a District Line train to Wimbledon," A posh woman's voice was heard. "Next stop, Victoria."

"Author, can you pretty please tell us where we're going?" Martin said, curling his paws into fists.

"The Apollo Victoria Theatre. Now stick together, this is your stop." The animals got off at Victoria Station, crossed the road and looked up blankly.

"Now what are we looking for?" Cornflower asked.

"A building that says 'Apollo Victoria' and is green with a poster with a lady with a white hat on whispering in a green lady's ear. Now go!" They walked until they saw the theatre.

"OOOOOOOOOHHHHH IT'S SHINY!!!!" Cluny gasped.

"It looks funny! Heeee!" Slagar giggled. They walked into the lobby which was lit by green back lights.

"IT'S ALL GREENISH!!!" Cluny shrieked.

"Are you mental or something? Wait . . . don't answer that . . . that was a rhetorical question . . . " Matthias reminded himself. Cluny just cackled strangely. Slagar and Badrang were admiring the Ozdust gift shop items.

"Those are for later. Now go to your seats. You're row F." the author said.

"Coolཀ We're so close to the front!" Tess clapped her hands together. The girls and . . . the girly men ran down the ramp excitedly. The more manly creatures dragged their feet.

"Why do we have to see a musical? Musicals are for sissies! I can't stand them!" Martin complained.

"C'mon Martin! It'll be so much fun!" Badrang squealed.

"That was extremely wrong . . . " Rose muttered.

"Ok, these are the seats. Martin, Rose, Badrang, Cluny, Matthias, Cornflower, Mattimeo, Slagar, Tess, Constance, Basil, Ironbeak, Dotti, and Ungatt Trunn. Happy? Ok!" the author assigned seats.

"WHAT?!! I'm NOT sitting next to him!" Rose, Matthias, Mattimeo, Tess, and Dotti yelled.

"That's too bad for you," the author replied nonchalantly.

"Humph," they slumped back in their seats.

"Author? When is this thing gonna start?" Ironbeak asked.

"Later. Now look at the stage!"

"OOOOOOOOOOHHHHH IT'S ALL SHINY AND SPARKLY-ISH!!! I LIKE SPARKLY THINGS!!!" Cluny screeched.

"Geez! What is wrong with you?" Matthias said, disturbed.

"I DON'T KNOW!"

"It's a map of Oz," Dotti said.

"Thank you Captain Obvious," an annoyed Constance growled. She really didn't want to be there.

"OH MY GOD!! MOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMYYYY!!!! IT'S A SCARY DRAGON!!!" Cluny screamed at the top of his lungs, hiding under his chair.

"AHHHHHHHHHH WHERE??" Slagar screeched.

"HEEEEELLLLLLPPPP!!" Badrang yelled. People in the audience stared.

"It's not real stupids," Cornflower sneered, "Is it going to move or something?"

"You'll see. Now the show is about to start," the author said. They waited. And waited. And waited. And . . .

"Shut up!" Martin yelled. But his words were drowned out by BA-BABA-BA-BA-BAA (DU-DUN) BA-BABA-BA-BABA (DU-DUN) BA-BABA-BA-BABA-BA-BABA-BAAAA (Yes, I'm obsessed)

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" Cluny wailed. Everyone jumped out of their skin at the sudden start. They watched in amazement (or in the case of some, boredom), gasping, smiling, and laughing through the first act. During the intermission, Cluny, Slagar, and Badrang skipped off to buy ice cream singing, "POPULAR! I KNOW ABOUT POPULAR,"

"That was extremely wrong . . . " Rose muttered for the second time that day. The annoyed creatures grumped.

"Man, this thing is so predictable! I mean, 'Life's more painless for the brainl-" Martin complained until he was interrupted.

"Shh-shh-shh-SHHHHHHHH!!!"the author hurriedly screamed, "Don't give it away!!"

"Give WHAT away?" everyone asked (except Martin).

"That Fiyero is gonna . . . " Martin explained

"NOTHING!! STOP!! You'll see!" the author put duct tape on Martin's mouth.

"Gump-his-fling-suff-of-meh!" Martin struggled.

"He said, 'Get this beeping stuff off of me,'" Rose translated.

"If he promises to stop," the author reasoned.

"Alrgh," Martin grumbled.

" He said, 'All right'," Rose translated again. The duct tape came off.

"That was amazing when she flew! Was it real? Was it magic?" Dotti asked.

"What do you think?" Constance glared at her.

"Geez! You are very touchy ma'am!" Dotti glared back.

"Act Two is starting!" the author announced. They watched in amazement and terror for Act Two. They were shocked by the labeling put on Elphaba and Glinda. They gasped as Nessa blamed Elphaba for Boq's transformation. They cheered for Elphaba and Fiyero. They were extremely shocked (except for Martin who said, "I told you so") by Fiyero turning into the Scarecrow. The girls and . . . girly men cried at 'For Good' and the melting. And they gasped and cheered at the finale.

"That was amazing!" Cornflower gasped while leaving the theatre.

"I want a program!" Rose said.

"I want a shirt!" Dotti said.

"I WANT A PINK 'POPULAR' SHIRT!!!" Cluny yelled.

"That was extremely, extremely wrong!" Rose muttered for the third time. They went off to the Ozdust Gift Shop.

"Alexia Khadime, Dianne Pilkington, Oliver Tompsett . . . " Rose read off the program, "Oooo so that's who played Fiyero. He's so dreamy," she said a little too loudly.

"What did you just say?" Martin whirled around upon hearing 'dreamy'.

"Uhhh . . . Nothing . . . " Rose said backing away slowly and handing the program to Cornflower.

"Are you sure?" Martin said under clenched teeth.

"Yes . . . " Rose said, putting her hands up.

"Alexia Khadime can really sing!" Cornflower exclaimed.

"I love Dianne's Galinda voice. I wonder if it's real," Dotti wondered aloud.

"What do you think?" Constance grumbled.

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today," Dotti scowled.

"Everybody ready? Let's head back," the author said. They found themselves back at Redwall.

"We should put on our own production!" Rose, Cornflower, Tess, Dotti, Badrang, Cluny and Slagar said.

"No, we shouldn't," everyone else said backing away.

"Yes we should!"

"No, we shouldn't!"

"It'll be fun!" Tess said.

"No, it won't!"

"C'mon you guys! Otherwise one of . . . these people will have to be Fiyero," Rose pointed at the three villains.

"Ok, ok, ok sure. I guess. If we have to," the others grumbled.

"Yippee! Make a sign, 'WICKED auditions, Sat. 1 P.M.," Cornflower said excitedly.

"Uggg . . . " was the majority's response.

Well this is my first ever fanfic and this chapter is probably really boring, but I promise you that the others will be better. I needed an opening though.
