Chapter 1: Surprise?

500 miles away from Oz sits the Dome of Lurline, a place of pilgrimage for Lurline devotees outside of Oz. The dome is stationed right next to a big lake since they find it really sacred for them. They are practiced different than the ones from Oz, but retained some of the traditional practices. On their daily meditation, a hooded priest send her blessings for the people who are hooded and meditating, but notices something unusual. The priest took the hood off a blonde woman and looked up to the priest and was able to recognize the priest.

"You bastard!" the young woman cursed to the priest.

The other people stopped meditating and saw the unhooded woman. They noticed her as a thief who steals religious artifacts and sells them to the black market. The priest ran, but the woman chased the priest. The priest then smashed through the window falling, but the woman saw the priest flying. The other priests caught the woman and waited for the proper authorities to arrest her.

The priest soon landed outside a small home in the middle of a quiet and peaceful forest. When she went inside the home, she was discovered by a man who is sitting with his feet on top of the chair, a cup of tea, and a grin on his face. "How was your latest case, Great Detective?" the man sarcastically said.

The priest remove of the robes and it was revealed to be Elphaba Thropp with her trademark black dress. "Really fine, Fiyero." Elphaba told him.

"You know, ever since we left Oz, you have taken this 'Great Detective' persona quite well, but couldn't solve a case where you would cause damage."

"At least better than being called 'Wicked Witch', and you should thank me for turning you back to normal. I didn't marry because of your humor."

"Touche. Also, you should see what Chistery brought back from Oz."

Fiyero handed a newspaper to Elphaba and grabbed it from him. Elphaba saw the headline that read "MORRIBLE DIE OF NATURAL CAUSES DURING IMPRISONMENT, GLINDA CLEARS THE WICKED WITCHES NAME" and was really happy about how it turned out. "Fiyero, I think it's time that we went back to Oz." she says with a big smile.


Elphaba and Fiyero went back to Oz a day later and decided to stay at Kiamo Ko since it's the only place they could find at the moment. While Fiyero, is unpacking their belongings inside, Elphaba is standing at the rooftop looking at the view of Emerald City. It's been two years since they saw the city and they expect many changes to it. Elphaba closed her eyes and could totally see what is happening around it. She could see newspapers about how the Wizard is a fake and how he and Madame Morrible created the "Wicked Witch" to hide their abuse against animals. She could see reporters hounding at Glinda about the death of her best friend. She could also see people who she might call "Elphaba Fans" who knows that she is alive and are coming up theories on how she survive.

Fiyero decided to stay in Kiamo Ko while Elphaba goes to Emerald City to meet with Glinda. She heard from Chistery that Glinda will be at the Creme De La Oz for a special occasion. Before leaving for Emerald City, Elphaba put on a white clothes under her black dress with a collar, and took both ends of her hair and stick them on both sides of her head to make it seem she has a mustache.

Elphaba arrived at the Creme De La Oz, but was stopped by a greeter. Luckily everyone in Emerald City besides Glinda has the green specks in them, which makes Elphaba invisible as the former Wicked Witch. Elphaba could senses a messenger coming inside and makes a deduction to get into the restaurant. "Your wife has sent a messenger for you concerning about a certain child is coming." Elphaba told the greeter which makes him leave.

Elphaba could see Glinda sitting in at a table looking at the menu and wearing a pink dress and weird tiara. Elphaba then saw a waitress and needs a quick disguise to get pass the waiters. She then approached to the first table she sees and purposely spilled a drink on a man. She apologized to the man and grabbed his bow tie without even noticing. Elphaba then saw a man taking off his specs and approached him by telling the man that she will take the menu since he is done, and also took the specs with her to wear.

Elphaba arrived at Glinda's table and started to pose as a waiter. "Can I help you with anything, madame?" she asked Glinda in a deep voice.

Glinda looked at the waiter but didn't notice that it's Elphaba. "Hi, yeah, "I'm looking for a bottle of champagne. A good one." Glinda told her.

"Hmm, well these are all excellent vintages madame."

"Well, it's not really my area, what do you suggest?'

"Well you can't possibly go wrong but, uh, maybe if you like my personal recommendation, this last one on the list is a favorite of mine. Uh, it is you might in fact say, like a face in the past." Elphaba said while she took off the specs.

Elphaba expected Glinda to look, but she didn't. "Great, I'll have that one please." Glinda said.

Elphaba then looked a little scared, not knowing what to do, but decided to improvise. "It is familiar but with a quality of surprise."

"Well surprise me." Glinda stretched as she handed the menu to her.

"I'm certainly endeavoring to, madame." a disgruntled Elphaba said as she took the menu and left.

Glinda still sits in the table, tapping her fingers to the table while waiting for someone. A man with a small box saw Glinda and went to the table to sit with her. "Hey, sorry that took so long." the man told Glinda.

Glinda looked up and was really happy to see him, "Oh no worries there, Boq."

"Are you okay?" Boq asked Glinda.

"Yeah, yeah. Me? Yeah I'm fine."

After a few seconds of silence, Boq timidly starts to talk to Glinda. "You know, for these past few months, you were there for me. And I was there for you. I have three things to say to you. First, I wanted to say that I am sorry for swearing to kill Elphaba, even though she turned me tin for no reason. And secondly, thank you for turning me back to normal."

"Oh stop it. It took me about two years to study that old book til I find the right spell." Glinda remarked.

"Yeah, thanks anyway. And third and most important thing I wanted to say. I just wanted to say ask, if you could see your way through-" Boq was interrupted when Elphaba arrived and presented a champagne to her.

"Madame, I think you'll find this vintage exceptionally to your liking. It has the old qualities of the old with some of the color of the new." Elphaba said.

"No sorry, not now please." Glinda told Elphaba as she continued her attention to Boq and hear has to say.

"Like a gaze from a crowd of strangers, suddenly one is aware of staring into the face of an old friend." Elphaba said as she took of the specks.

"No look, seriously could you just…" Glinda stopped as she looked up and thought she was dreaming.

"Interesting thing that I was lucky to wear a white shirt inside to put on a bow tie. Lends to anonymity of the waiters."

Glinda then got up and took a deep breath. "Glinda what is it?" Boq asked.

"Well, the short version, not dead. Bit mean springing it on you like that, I know. Could have given you a heart attack, probably still will. But in my defense it was still pretty funny." Elphaba laughed but Glinda gave her a threatening look, "Okay it's not a great defense."

"Oh no, you're…" Boq said as he could recognize her.

"Oh yes." Elphaba replied.

"Oh my Oz!"

"Not quite."

"You died. You melted." Boq said

"Not really." Elphaba then took of the hair off of her face. "Could you do that with your hair?" Elphaba joked.

"Oh my Oz! Do you have any idea what you might have done?!" Boq said to Elphaba.

"Okay Glinda, I'm suddenly realized that I probably owed you some sort of an apology."

"Alright Glinda, just keep calm." Boq told her as she punched the table out of anger.

"Two years. Two years hmm… I thought, mmm… I thought… you were dead. Hmm? Now, you let me grieve. Hmm? How could do that? How?" Glinda said to Elphaba as she tries held back her tears.

"Wait before you might do anything you might regret, um, just let me ask one question. Are you really going to keep that?" Elphaba laughed as she was referring to her new wardrobe. Glinda breath heavily and grabbed Elphaba and pushed her to the ground as she tries to choke her, but the restaurant goers and waiters broke off the fight.

Glinda, Boq and Elphaba were force to leave and are now sitting in a fast food restaurant. "I have 13 choices once you've arrived at Kiamo Ko. I wanted to avoid dying, if at all possible. The first scenario involving me hurling myself to a hay cart. Impossible, the angle was too steep. Secondly, a system of Munchkin wrestling to the Witch Hunters." Elphaba told Glinda and Boq but Glinda interrupted her.

"You know, for a genius, you can be remarkably thick." Glinda told her.

"What?"

"I don't care how you faked it, Elphaba, I wanted to know why?"

"I can't live in Oz anymore. With me being alive, I would be still branded as Wicked Witch, which I'm not Boq." She told to Boq before turning her attention back to Glinda, "When I find out that Morrible died and you clearing my name, I decided to go back."

"Mmmhmm, well consider yourself lucky that I'm not branding you as a criminal again. And what's with that mumbo jumbo talk now?" Glinda said.

"Well, ever since I left Oz, I read some books about crime, which took me about a month since I like reading, I rebranded myself as the Great Detective. I solve crime quickly by deductions. Most people pass me off as a lizard lady since no one outside doesn't know about the Wicked Witch."

"We there others who knew?"

"There were a couple of others."

"Who?"

Elphaba hesitated but decided to tell her. "Fiyero."

"Fiyero?!"

"Yeah. Fiyero Tiggular and mostly Oz and animal runaways who help me in my cases through the two years since I was gone. I call them my 'Vagabond Connection' since they have no homes and jobs and usually travel a lot. I pay them well."

"Okay. So just Fiyero Tiggular and a hundred tramps."

Elphaba laughs and corrects her. "No! Twenty-five at most."

Glinda grabbed Elphaba again and punched her in the teeth, which got them out of the restaurant and are now in a deli. They were standing around in the counter for nine minutes not saying a word until Elphaba decided to talk. "Seriously, it's not a joke. Are you keeping that?" Elphaba commented on her dress and tiara.

"Uh yeah." Glinda calmly told her.

"Sure?"

"Boq likes it."

"Hmm, no he does not." Elphaba made her deductions.

"He does."

"He doesn't."

Glinda looked at Boq waiting for a response from him, but he listened to their conversation until she looked at him. "Oh don't." Boq told Glinda.

"Oh, brilliant!" Glinda said.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know how to tell you."

"Right this is charming. I've really miss this!" Glinda then went to her attention to Elphaba and started to talk to her. "One word, Elphaba. That is all I needed! One word to let me know you're alive!" Glinda raised her voice at her.

"I've nearly been in contact so many times but, I'm worried that you might say something indiscreet."

"Oh this my fault?!" Glinda said while Boq is laughing at Glinda on what she said. "Why am I the only one who thinks this is wrong! The only one reacting like a normal person!" Glinda shouted.

"Overreacting." Elphaba remarked.

"Overreacting!" Glinda shouted at her.

"Glinda!" Boq said to calm her.

Elphaba tried to shush Glinda but she ignored her. "So you faked her own death and you waltz in here large as life but I'm not suppose to have a problem with that, no because Elphaba Thropp thinks its a perfectly okay thing to do!"

"Shut up, Glinda! I don't want everyone in this room to know that I'm alive!" Elphaba shouted.

"Oh it's still a secret, is it?!"

"Yes it's still a secret!" Elphaba and Glinda's shouts have made everyone around them notice. "Promise you won't tell anyone?" Elphaba whispered.

"Swear to Lurline!" Glinda shouted.

"You have miss this didn't you? The blood pumping through your veins, us arguing about who's popular and my remark on your obsession with pink." Glinda grabbed Elphaba again for the third time and headbutt her right in the nose and decided to leave the deli.

Elphaba with a bloody nose stands with Boq as Glinda tries to call a taxi carriage. "I don't understand. I said I'm sorry, isn't that what you're supposed to do?" Elphaba asked Boq.

"Oz, you don't know anything about Glinda do you?" Boq said.

"You? Yes. Glinda? No."

"I'll talk her out. And Elphaba, I apologized for accusing you of turning tin without my knowledge that you are trying to save me."

"Apology accepted. And you should go now and ask her if she wants to marry you."

"How did you-"

"I told you, I'm now the Great Detective. I can see a person through how they feel or what they are thinking. Plus that small box is a dead give away and you were really impatient all the time when I showed up."

"I see. Well, nice to see you again Elphaba."

"Nice to see you too Boq." When Boq and Glinda left, Elphaba stays outside restaurant trying hard not to think about her bleeding nose. "Ow! For a girl who knows very little, she truly has a strong head." she remarked.
