Chapter 1. Missing Home
"Are you okay?" Fiyero asked Elphaba. Elphaba was out of breath.They had been running for days now. Barely eating anything.
"I'm fine," Elphaba lied. She was sitting on the ground now.
"I doubt that," Fiyero said, kissing Elphaba on the forehead. "Tired?"
"What do you think?" Elphaba said.
"I'll take that as a yes," Fiyero respoded.
"I wish..." Elphaba started. Fiyero listened. "I wish we could see Glinda again,"
Fiyero sighed. Elphaba had been talking about Glinda from the start of their journey.
"Thinking about her won't help," Fiyero said.
"I know, but...I miss her so much! Why did I have to..." Elphaba said. "Have to...have to 'fly of the handle?' "
Glinda once said Elphaba flew off the handle. So Elphaba used it to. "If only...she would have been true to the people though. Instead of playing along with their games!" Elphaba said. A tear streamed down her face.
Fiyero wiped it away. His straw hit Elphaba accidently.
"Oops," he said.
"Its okay. Its not bleeding, Is it?" Elphaba asked.
"Its fine," Fiyero said.
Meanwhile...
Glinda decided, because of the Wizard's departure and Madame Morrible going to prison, she would be the Wizard Of Oz! But
lets just say, she wasn't happy sitting in a dark room all day. She decided, this room needed to be Glinda-fied! So Glinda got painted the walls pink, got pink tile, and hung up fashion adds all over! This place was way brighter now!
Glinda sat down at her newly pink desk. She sighed. Elphie would laugh at the pink-ness of this place.
"I have got to stop thinking of her!" Glinda said. "She left this world only six days ago, I wish she hadn't!"
Glinda started thinking of that Dorothy girl.
"That terrible awful girl!" Glinda said. But then again, she thought. She didn't know the story.
"Why did Elphie have to go? Darn those rumors!" Glinda said.
Knock
"Who is it?" Glinda said in a sing-song voice.
Knock
"Well, come in!" Glinda said, a bit annoyed.
A man probably in a costume or something came in.
"Pink..." she heard the man mumble.
She saw the face. This was
no costume! This man was made out of tin!
"Who...what are
you? Why are you tin?" Glinda asked.
"I am the Tinman!" the man said.
"Wait! I know you! You helped Dorothy!" Glinda said. She said Dorothy in a rude tone. "Oops," Glinda blushed.
"Its okay. Um, I need to say something. I am...Boq," the Tinman said.
Glinda paused. "Biq? Is that you? From school?"
"BOQ!" Boq yelled. "Oh jeez, that was rude of me!"
"Oh sorry, Boq" Glinda said.
"Yes I am Boq. I am also very ashamed of my looks," Boq said.
"Oh Boq! How did this happen?"
"That Wicked Witch did this to me!" Boq said. Some reason he felt powerful when he said the wicked witch.
"What?" Glinda stared in disbelief. "She couldn't have!"
Boq shook his head. "It was her! It was her grimmerie..." Glinda cut him off.
"You mean this?" Glinda said, holding up the grimmerie.
"Yes! How did you get it?" Boq asked.
"The Wicked-uh-Elphaba gave it to me. Before she...melted." Glinda said.
"It must have a defect! A curse, something!" Boq insisted.
"NO!" Glinda yelled. "She was not trying to harm me! She was my friend...my BEST friend and nothing you can do can stop my beliefs! Its been a few days, I made that bubble, I never fell, it never popped! It was her gift to me!"
Boq stood there, studying the angry look on Glinda's face. "Oh," he said quietly.
"Also, the Wizard lied about her! She knew to much, so he lied! HE was the one who stopped the animals from speaking! He was the reason she was green! THE WIZARD IS HER FATHER!" Glinda yelled. "My, I must watch my tone!"
"So, she wasn't wicked?" Boq asked.
"Thats the truth!" Glinda said. "Oh no! Elphie asked me not to clear her name! I just did! Are you going to tell everyone?"
"Not if you don't want me to," Boq said.
"Thank you! Now, why are you hear?" Glinda asked.
"I just wanted to congradulate you on you're Wizardness!" Boq said. "Thats a new word!"
Glinda was now caught in thoughts. "I'll be heartless killing her," Glinda said. "You said that! Tell me you take that back!"
"Okay, I take that back!" Boq said.
Loathing, unadulterated loathing! Boy, were those the old days!
Glinda was really caught in her thoughts.
I hope you're proud how you would grovel in submission, to FEED you own ambission!
"Boq, I need time to think!" Glinda suddenly said. Boq left.
Just you and I defying gravity! With you and I defying gravity!
"I wish that had come true!" Glinda said. "I should have went with her! I was the one who flew off the handle! I was to full of myself!" Glinda was mad at herself. She wanted to pretend Elphaba was beside her. "I do believe I have been--"
"Changed for the better!" a familiar voice said. Glinda looked at the one in the door in surprise.
Thats it for now!
Hope you liked it!
