AN: I'm being a bad author. I'm starting this oneshot when I still need to post a chapter of 'Pimp My Wheelchair'…. I'M BAD. Yeah, that's right. :O Enjoy!
Nessarose Thropp stared up at the imposing tree in the garden of the governess's mansion. It was a large oak tree, and Elphaba had always loved to climb up into its branches to read, when the sisters had been much younger. Nessa had always wanted to climb it, but couldn't for obvious reasons.
However, now, with her newly magicked shoes, she could accomplish what she'd wanted to do for years. So, placing her feet on the trunk of the tree, she attempted to climb it. It wasn't as easy as it looked. She slipped right back down after the first three feet.
She tried, and fell again. The process repeated until she finally succeeded in moving up to the first branch. Then, using her arms (which were much stronger than they looked), she pulled herself up to the next branch. She continued to do this until she'd reached the height she felt was the safest. It was the very branch Elphaba had always sat on to read for hours.
Now, Nessa followed her sister's footsteps, though, instead of reading, decided just to think. To think of all the things that had happened in her life: her mother's death, her father's, Boq's disappearance, and the separation of her closest friends. She had no warning when the cyclone dropped the house on her, as she was fast asleep, and deep in her thoughts.
AN: Hoped you liked it! Dedicated to Faba, who gave me the idea months ago. I FINALLY WROTE IT.
