A/N I got to go to the London Wicked Day over the weekend and it was wonderful!! Squeals with delight But the point is it inspired me. This just kind of wrote itself. Just kind of rambles on and on and I thought I'd just post it anyway.
Smile Through The Tears
How am I going to do this Elphie? I'm not strong like you.
But you're gone, so I need to do the good things you longed to do. And now that horrible Morrible and the not-so-wonderful Wizard are out of the way there is nothing to stop me. I just need to do it. I need to go out and face Oz. I need to smile through my tears and say I'm glad that you're gone.
When really my heart is breaking.
You were my best friend. When I look back I guess you were my only true friend. The others leached onto my popularity, my blonde bimbo personality.
You just accepted me for what I was. Whatever that was. Oh God I'm crying again. I can't go out there with a red blotchy face!
If I do they'll see through my façade, my mask. And everything you believed in will die. I can't let it happen. But I can't do it either. I'm not strong enough, Elphie. You were always the strong one. I just went with the flow. Did whatever everyone else did.
And heres a secret I never told anyone, I actually longed to be more like you. To be able to stand up for what I believed in. But I've never been like that. I don't know how to be like that. But I have to. It was your dying wish! So I have to do it. I can't fail you. I won't fail you. Elphaba, I swear to you now that I will make Oz perfect. I will make it the way it was in our dreams. I won't fail you.
I know I can do it when I think of you.
Glinda the good summoned a bubble and departed to greet the rejoicing Ozians with tears in her eyes. But she didn't let them fall. From now on she was going to be strong.
For Elphaba.
A/N So... was it just a rambling lot of junk?
