I had the idea for this story when I was on vacation in Sanibel Island, Florida a few weeks ago, and I was hoping to finish switched witches before starting this, but it didn't quite happen. Oh well. Hope you enjoy!

Prologue

It was the middle of the night, and Fiyero and Elphaba had just popped out of a portal on to earth. Elphaba was carefully holding her little 4 month-old daughter Annabelle. "This is the house?" Fiyero asked.

"Yes… it's where the spell led us. Do we really have to leave her?"

Fiyero gently put his hand on Elphaba's shoulder. "Fae, it's hard for me too, but we need to do what's best for Annabelle. We can't take her with us on such a dangerous journey." The couple was silent for a few minutes.

Finally, Elphaba carefully put the sleeping baby who was wrapped in a little pink blanket, on the front porch of the house. "Goodbye, little one… I really hope we meet again. I wish you the best of luck." A single tear rolled down Elphaba's cheek, and landed on her daughter's forehead.

The green witch knelt by the baby for so long that finally, Fiyero had to say something. "Fae… we should go back to Oz… we don't want to be seen." He had a pained look on his face. Eventually, Elphaba worked up the strength to open the portal, grab Fiyero's hand and jump in.

The next morning, a young woman came out the door to look around because she had thought she heard a strange sound. She immediately noticed the child, who was crying loudly. She was confused, but she picked up the baby, and found a note tucked in her pink blanket. Please take care of our little daughter, Annabelle. We have carefully chosen you, and hopefully someday, we will come back for her.

The newly-wedded woman called for her husband. "Adrian, come look at this!"

"What is it, Bria?"

"I found… a baby." Bria explained. "Her name is Annabelle, and apparently, we have been chosen to take care of her."

Adrian looked at the note. "This is wonderful news, Bria!" he exclaimed. The young couple had once had a child, but unfortunately, he died soon after birth. They were too terrified to try to have another one.

"We will raise her as our own." Bria said joyfully while rocking Annabelle.

Many years later, Annabelle was 14 years old. She had grown into a beautiful young lady. She was tall, like her mother and she had long, black hair. She had a normal skin color, and she had inherited her father's bright blue eyes, and rounded nose. Her foster parents had kept her true identity a secret and told her that she was actually their child from birth. Elphaba's spell had certainly chosen the correct people to raise their daughter, Bria and Adrian were very kind and they had raised Annabelle as their own.

Annabelle sometimes had feelings that her parents were not her biological parents. Part of it was that she did not look like her 'mother' or father at all. They both had blonde hair, and brown eyes. She had become an avid fan of 'Wicked' the musical. She knew all of the words to all of the songs, and her best friend, Kate was also a fan.

One weekend, Annabelle's 'parents' had exciting news. "Annabelle," her mother said. "Your father and I bought tickets to see wicked this weekend and you can even bring Kate!"

Annabelle looked shocked, and excited. "REALLY!? OH MY GOSH! THANK YOU!" she ran to her mother and gave her a big hug then she was off to call Kate and tell her the exciting news.

A few long days later, it was finally Saturday, and the family was on their way to New York City. They didn't like too far away, but they had still booked a hotel room for the night so that they didn't have to drive home at night after the show. Kate had come along with them, and she was just as excited as her friend. "Can you believe we are actually going o see wicked!? I've never seen it in person!" said Kate.

"I know it's so Excitifying!" Annabelle replied.

"You know," Kate commented, "You look like Elphaba."

"You think?" Annabelle asked.

"Yeah, with the black hair." Kate pointed out.

"Huh, I never thought about it that way before…" Annabelle suddenly felt very oddly homesick. Even though she was with her best friend and parents, she felt like something was missing.

"Hey look everybody, it's a Wicked Billboard!" Annabelle's dad said.

Annabelle looked out the window and saw the sign. "Wow!" she said. For a moment, everything was fine, but suddenly, Annabelle realized that she couldn't take her eyes off the Billboard. It continued for a few seconds, and then she had an odd vision of Elphaba saying something, seemingly to her.

"Hey Anna, what's going on?" Annabelle felt Kate shaking her worriedly.

"Oh… nothing." Annabelle said when she returned to normal.

Little did Annabelle know, Elphaba, her mother was trying to contact her through her mind. And, she was planning to come and find Annabelle later that day. Elphaba needed to find Annabelle, the situation was life…or death.

What do you think so far? Pwease review! *does puppy eyes at readers* OH! Also check out my deviant art account, I drew a picture of Elphie, and it's on there. You can also see a picture of what I actually look like, it's my profile picture.
