A/N: So, my original idea for this was that this was a crossover, but while I was writing it kind of took a mind of it's own, and know it's fully a RWBY story. There's plenty of Wicked reference (because it's what inspired this story and I love it with a passion) but it's maybe more of a parody or something. Maybe I just don't like the way crossovers are separate and hard to find, maybe I would like more traffic. In the end, I just know I love this story, and I think it's better then my other one. I don't know if this is for the best, but I do know it's for good. (Sorry, I had to!)
So, let's set this up, this is an AU. Basically, every member of team RWBY will replace a character from the musical. And you might be wondering, how will this work, since Glinda is already in the story… Well, you'll see, I already have this all planed out. As long as you love RWBY, you'll love this. Bonus if you also like Wicked.

"We need to stop meeting like this, my husband's getting suspicious."
"I know, I'm sorry, but I can't bear not seeing you, I love you so…"
"And I you, but you know how people regard humans and fauna together."
"Yes, I know, and I never meant to bring you any trouble."
"I've taken it all on voluntarily, you are not to blame. I knew full well what a relationship between us would mean. Sadly, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale. We don't obtain our happy ending simply by wishing hard enough, things don't work out for the better simply because we give it our all… But I still had to try."
"Well, that's why I'm here, to make it better. It's what all us hunters do."
"Your optimism always manages to make me smile."
"Hahaha, I simply hate to see you cry. (Signing) Have another drink, my dark-eyed beauty. I've got one more night left, here in town. So have another drink of green elixir, and we'll have ourselves a little mixer. Have another little swallow, little lady, and follow me down."
"Hahaha, and you remembered how much I love it when you sing. And you've got my favorite drink too! How did you get your hands on this, they don't sell it anywhere?"
"Well, it's a special occasion with a special lady."
"I love you."
"I love you too. Now come, let's have some fun before I need to leave."
That was the last time the dark-eyed girl saw her golden-eyed lover. But before he disappeared, he left a piece of himself within the love of his life.
…
*9 months later*
The house was in complete turmoil, and the master of the house was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, the family's midwife heard the slamming of the front door, signifying the master had finished his workday. She ran to him as if her life depended it on. "She's coming!"
The man's face was blank for a second while his brain processed this new information. His expression suddenly turned into a wide grin, his eyes full of understanding. "Now?
As sole response, his servant repeated herself. "The baby's coming!"
They both ran towards the master bedroom, where the lady of the house was in the middle of her contractions. As his wife saw her husband enter the room, her expression changed to one of relief. All the while, the man was taking in the sight of the love of his life bringing in their daughter into the world. "And how!"
The midwife returned to her position, preparing to deliver the child, whilst the man went and took his wife's hand within his own. The servant looked up for a brief second to exclaim, "I see a nose. I see a curl. It's a healthy, perfect, lovely, little…"
A deafening scream was heard for miles around. The husband ran to help the midwife, who had just fainted, though he managed to catch her before she fell to the ground. He felt confusion cloud his mind, unable to understand what was going on. It only took a few seconds for her to regain consciousness. Relieved, the husband turned toward his newborn to verify that she was all right.
"Sweet Oz!" The man began to feel nauseous himself, far from expecting the sight that assaulted him. The wife was panicked, unable to see what all the commotion was about. "What is it? What's wrong?"
The midwife and father were now deep in conversation, ignoring the mother of the child entirely. "How can it be?" asked he women to the parent, and he replied just as confused. "What does it mean?" The wife was growing more and more worried by the second, and what she heard next did nothing to appease her.
"It's atrocious," said the midwife, the father nodding in agreement. "It's obscene!"
"Enough!" screamed out the mother, "is my baby alright? Give her to me." The father felt like arguing, but the look in his partner's eyes shut down any retort before they could be formed, and defying her would be an assured death sentence. Sighing, he took his girl from the servant's arms and passed her along gingerly.
Shock was followed by realization as the mother laid her gaze on her daughter. Adorable amber eyes full of wonder and innocence were looking up at her, eyes that reminded her of a man she loved so dearly, a man she had lost. It was not this however that disgusted the rest of the household. Atop her little head, mixed in with raven locks that were a mirror image of her mother's, lay two little cat ears.
A/N: Try to find all the references to the songs from the musical, they'll keep showing up in the future.
