" Go ahead try it out," the wizard insisted, "it's quite safe, made from the sudsiest soap in Oz." Glinda was hesitant but wanting to earn the wizards trust she slowly slipped inside the glassy orb that stood before her.
"Now what?" asked Glinda almost concerned.
"Well now we think of a clever catch phrase that makes it seem like your casting a spell that creates the bubble." The wizard contemplated the thought. "How about BUBBLES AWAY!?"
"SPLENDERIFIC SUDSANATOR"
"DOUBLE DOUBLE TOIL AND TROUBLE FIRE BURN AND CAULDREN BUBBLE"
"That could work," Glinda marveled.
"Some how it's a bit familiar." thought the wizard. "Dash it all, lets forget the catch-phrase."
" One question your Ozness."
" Yes, Miss Glinda?"
" How does it work?"
" Oh I almost forgot, couldn't have you just rolling around in that bubble now could we? Let's see you only need the slightest touch of magic to steer, all you have to do is take this wand and touch it to the side of the bubble lightly."
Glinda surveys the wand touching each of its sparking points. She holds the wand up to the sky as though picturing it as a snowflake.
"Unfortunately, Miss Glinda it does require a small bit of attention otherwise the bubble sort of takes on a mind of its own."
"Gotcha, pay attention, wait what happens if I get ever so slightly distracted?" Glinda asked while picking at her nails.
"Never mind that, lets give it a try."
Glinda touched her wand to the top of the bubble. She watched the wizard slowly disappeared into the green of the marvelous emerald city.
"This is fairly extravagantious" thought Glinda, "the best part is I can see my reflection." She smiled at her reflection, trapped in the shimmery surface. In the hands of her reflection, she held a wand that looked like candy or a snowflake. She didn't see why she should hold off on investigating what the wand was made of, since there was no one else in the bubble to see her. So she licked the tips of the wand and spat out in disgust, "Soap! Well that explains why the bubble doesn't pop at the sharp edges of the wand." She had learned that from Elphaba's notes, ( the fact that soap wont pop on soap most of the time.) she was really beginning to miss Elphie now. "So if you care to find me look to the western sky," Glinda repeated, "Maybe I'll pay her a visit once I have this bubble under control." GIinda decided to fix her hair before she arrived which would be about forty-five minutes. She barley had enough time.
Glinda neared munchkin land where Boq and Nessa now resided. One thing she hadn't noticed is she was no longer paying attention to the bubble, and things were just starting to get off hand.
