Disclaimer: I do not own Wicked, the book or musical, or The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

A/N: For the first chapter, Boq's submission is a little dark, I guess you could say, but keep in mind it's a play script that is intended to be acted out, not to actually happen. And please do not think that if the characters are not-so-great writers, that I am quite as terrible as them. Maybe close, but not quite! ;) Also keep in mind that during the script, some characters may seem OOC, but that's because the author of the script twisted them to their liking. It's a humor fic, so take it lightly. If it seems a little out there and sorta stupid, that is probably a good thing. And of course there won't be any more horror scripts- each character will submit a different genre. Anything else, oh yes! Wicked: The Second Generation readers- don't worry. I haven't abandoned it, I am just taking a short break. I just really needed to work on something new. I actually should have the next chapter up within the next few days. Sorry this is amazingly long and the chapter is amazingly short...but, enjoy!


"Look at this, Elphie!" Galinda squealed, pointing to a neon orange flyer on the Shiz University bulletin board. "It's a contest! Ooh—don't you just love contests?"

Elphaba peered closer at the paper.

"Let's enter!" Galinda exclaimed. "You too, Elphie. You're so good at writing and all that stuff. This is so exciting!"

"Well," Elphaba said. "It does look intriguing."

"That's a neat word. You should put that in there! Now, I'm off to tell the others!" Galinda began skipping down the hall.

"The others? You mean…Oh, no, Galinda, don't do that!" Elphaba yelled after her. "That means we'll have more competition, I'm not sure if I can enter if-" Elphaba was interrupted by the slamming of the wooden door to the commons.

"A play-writing contest? Wow Miss Galinda, it was awfully nice of you to consider me. I'll have to take this into serious consideration. I can see it now..." Boq stood up from his usual table in the corner of the commons, which was covered by his many textbooks. "A tragedy, right here at Shiz. I must begin at once before I lose my inspiration!" Boq grabbed the pencil resting behind his ear and ripped out a sheet of paper from his statistics notebook.


A breezy evening at Shiz University. Fiyero is on his way to Miss Galinda and Elphaba's dorm.

Fiyero: Hello? (Knocks on door)

Galinda glances through peephole.

Galinda: Fiyero! Come on in. (Opens door for him)

Elphaba: (Sitting on bed) Galinda! There are no boys allowed in here!

Galinda: But Fiyero's special.

Elphaba: No he's not! Get him out! (Looks very angry)

Galinda: Ok, goodbye Fiyero. (Pushes him out door)

Knock at door.

Galinda: Fiyero! I thought I told you to leave.

Pfanee: But it's Pfanee!

Shen Shen: And Shen Shen!

Galinda: (squeals) Oooh! Ok! (opens door)

Elphaba: Not another party, please. I'm trying to do my homework! (Is reading book)

Pfanee: (Reading title of book) For homework you have to read The Great Gassy? What class is that for?

Elphaba: It's Gatsby! And it's for Advanced Literature!

Shen Shen: Whatever. Hey Galinda, let's do each other's nails!

Galinda: YAY! Fun! I call the princess pink nailpolish!

Pfanee: I call royal purple!

Shen Shen: I call macaroni yellow! (gets weird stares from all girls, including Elphaba)

Elphaba: If you're going to do that, can you please go to Pfanee and Shen Shen's room? I'm trying to study! (looks very angry)

Knock on door

Elphaba: AHH! Who IS it?

Nessarose: Nessa. Are you ok, Elphaba?

Galinda: (going to open door) Come on in Nessa, we're doing each other's nails!

Nessarose: Oh awesome! Can I have the macaroni yellow?

Shen Shen: Already called it.

Knock at door

Elphaba: (getting very angry) GO AWAY!

Galinda: (opening door) Why hello Boq, how nice of you to stop by!

Boq: I just came to bring you some flowers, Miss Galinda. They're peonies, your favorites.

Galinda: You are too kind, Boq. (Kisses him on cheek) Let me find a nice vase to put these in.

Elphaba: THAT'S IT! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! (pulls out knife from bedside table drawer and holds it up)

Nessarose: Now hold it, Elphaba. Violence is not the answer. As your sister, I say that we can solve your problems by rationally and calmly-

Elphaba stabs Nessa numerous times.

Elphaba: (Giving wicked laugh) Who's next?

Runs around room, chasing Pfanee. Stabs her.

Door swings open.

Fiyero: Well, your door was unlocked, so I figured I'd just HOLY COW! WHAT IS GOING ON? ARE THOSE…DEAD PEOPLE? (Sees Elphaba holding up bloody knife)

Elphaba, what are you doing! (Sees Shen Shen, Galinda, and Boq hiding in corner)

I must stop this madness!

Elphaba brutally stabs Fiyero. Shen Shen screams, Elphaba stabs her next. Then she kills Boq, who is protecting Galinda. He dies heroically.

Galinda: Elphaba, I can't imagine you would kill me, your best friend.

Elphaba: You're right. I wouldn't.

Elphaba stabs herself and sinks down onto the floor. Galinda screams. The lights cut, and the curtain closes.


"What a masterpiece." Boq said, admiring his work. "This is sure to win."
