Disclaimer: Wicked isn't mine. Never has been, never will be, no matter how much I wish that it were.
Just a drabble I thought of while listening to Wicked. Glindas' thoughts after Defying Gravity. Fiyeros not really on her mind right now because of what happened with Elphie. Could be Gelphie I suppose, not intended to be that way though, whatever floats your boat.
She knows that her Elphie left and she didn't stop her or go with her.
She wishes she could have. She wishes she could go back in time and go with Elphie and then maybe everything would be alright now. Maybe she wouldn't feel so lost and confused and angry with herself.
She misses her, more than she'd like to admit. She wants her to come back and be her best friend and roommate again. She knows that that will never happen.
And as loathe as she is to admit it, shes scared. For the first time in her life, Glinda Upland is truly scared. The person who she truly considered her best friend is gone. The one who managed to worm her way into her heart and life through a simple act of kindness that wasn't even deserved, is gone. They may never see each other again.
Tonight, Glinda will cry. She'll cry for Elphie, who was so betrayed by the Wizard. She'll cry for herself because she couldn't have the courage that Elphaba had. She'll cry because even though she has so many friends, none of them could ever replace the green skinned girl. Tonight Glinda will truly understand loneliness.
And later on, when shes Glinda the Good and Elphie has come and gone again, she'll think about that night. And she'll realize that even the good lead lonely lives.
