Chapter One

Good News?

Glinda awoke to a bright new day. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, and she had another day to spend with her husband, Boq.

Glinda rubbed her eyes and stretched. She hopped out of bed and put on her pink bed slippers. She headed down the hallway and made her way to the dining hall where Boq was drinking his coffee and reading the morning paper.

Glinda skipped to the other end of the hall. When she reached Boq, she planted a kiss on his cheek. She giggled. "Good morning, dearest."

Any other day, after Glinda had broken Boq's tin spell, he would've kissed her right back…but not today. Glinda sat down next to him. She snapped for a waiter. Yes-in their house.

"I'll have my usual, Rupert." Glinda ordered. The waiter rushed off into the kitchen.

Glinda still couldn't get Boq's attention. "Sweetie…? Honey…? Boqquie-pie…? Boq? Boq?" Finally, Glinda snapped her fingers in front of his face. Boq suddenly noticed his wife.

"What? Oh, good morning, Glinda." He gave her a kiss. "Take a look at the top story. It's all over the paper!" She leaned closer to Boq so she could read as he read aloud.

"A witch and wizard missing! Since last night, no one has seen the Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz. He was last seen by his guards at 10:00 EMC last night. All of Oz is looking for him. Along with his disappearance is another: Madame Morrible, headmistress of Shiz University, has also not been seen since last night. 'I'm really worried.' says a fan of the Wizard. 'I'm concerned for my child's education,' says the parent of a Shizian.' Most of the Ozian population is worried and they have formed various uprisings. The school board at Shiz has elected their new headmaster…"

Glinda read the next line out loud with Boq. "Boq Short, a former student at Shiz with the highest GPA in his graduating class!"

Boq put down the paper and sighed. "How am I supposed to run Shiz? I know nothing about education!"

Glinda found her husband one to be modest. "Sweetie, you had the highest GPA in your graduating class. That's saying something!"

"What's that got to do with running a college? Since when did the school board start caring about munchkins?"

Glinda shrugged, unable to answer. Boq sighed, frustrated and continued the article.

"As the replacement ruler of Oz, the citizens of Emerald City have chosen their new ruler to be…"

(Author's Note: I just thought about cutting the chapter off here, but that would just be stupid. :) )

A butler tapped Glinda on the shoulder. "Miss Glinda, some people are here to see you. They say it's urgent."

Glinda immediately got up and rushed to the door. Boq followed because he can't walk without her. A butler opened the door and two Ozians dressed in black and shades stood there. One was a very muscular man, and the other was a Bird. If they didn't have badges on that said OIA, they would have been confused for shady Ozian gangsters.

The Bird held out an ID card. "Are you Miss Good?"

Glinda looked utterly concerned. The OIA at her house? Asking for her? "Yes?"

"Well, we work for the OIA. Sorry, Miss but we've gotta take you downtown." The very big man held out his muscly arm. If this was during her days at Shiz, Glinda would have asked if she could feel it, but now the paparazzi was after her, and feeling an OIA agent's muscles would have been absolutely out of the question: it would be all over Oz in seconds. Instead, Glinda decided to keep her cool.

"Why am I being taken downtown?" She asked as the muscle man squeezed her arm. She tried to wriggle out of his grasp, but he was just too strong.

"We're gonna taker you to your new house. We've just been informed that you are the new ruler of Oz."

"Yeah, I just found that out too." She said nervously. "No one ever tells me these things."

"Yeah, well, we're tellin' you now, so let us handle this! You're commin' with us." Suddenly, the muscle man picked up Glinda and carried her over his shoulder. She started kicking and screaming due to the shock of it all.

"AAAHHH! Hey, let me go!" She yelled.

Boq ran after the muscle man. "Hey you! Cooooome back with my wife!"

The Bird turned around. He gave Boq an icy glare. Boq slowly backed away but still stood his ground.

"Oh yeah?" the Bird asked, "Well, who died and made you Oz?"

Glinda was still being carried away by the muscle man, still kicking, still screaming, still praying for someone to save her, so Boq had to be as brief as possible.

"Actually, bird-thing, I just found out that I'm now headmaster of Shiz…so listen to me and Glinda or deal with it!"

Suddenly, the Bird snapped his fingers and the muscle man dropped Glinda.

"OW!" Boq ran past the Bird to help her, but it didn't really work very well since he was a munchkin, but it was the thought that counted. The two hugged, but knew there was trouble ahead for both of them.

The Bird came over to them. "Alright you two! You guys can come here in the summer, but right now, Glinda's coming with me to Emerald City and Shorty's going with Hercules. So hold onto one of my wings and DeAl WiTh It!"

Glinda quickly grabbed hold as the Bird took off. She started screaming in protest again. "WAIT! You can't do this to me: I'm not even fully awake yet! Or fully dressed for that matter! I haven't even had my Cinnamon Coffee Decaf! I can't function without it! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! Slow dooooowwwwwn!"

Glinda wondered what Elphaba would have done in a situation such as this, but Glinda tried not to harp on the past: she knew that Elphaba was dead.
