Disclaimer: I sadly do not own wicked
A scarecrow wonders into the castle of Kiamo Ko. It drops down onto the floor of the north tower where he had melted the wicked witch of the west mere clock ticks before. It picks up the witch's hat and knocks on the floor where the hat had been.
"It worked!" It shouts.
A hidden trap door immediately bursts open and the witch pops out. She looks stunned when she sees the scarecrow, but as she looks into his eyes she recognises him for who he really is.
"Fiyero..." She whispers, she reaches up and hugs him.
"I thought you'd never get here!" She whispers into his chest.
She reaches up a hand to touch his burlap skin but drops it mere inches from his face.
"It's ok touch..." He says as he grabs her hand and puts it onto his cheek
"I don't mind, You did the best you could" he says nervously feeling shy now. What if she didn't like what she saw? He looks at her and sees the flash of guilt in her eyes and is quick to reason with her.
"You saved my life..." He says with a small smile.
" Your still so beautiful" she tells him flashing a smile back.
"You don't have to lie to me" he says in a small voice getting shy again.
"It's not lying... It's looking at things another way." She smiled at her choice of words remembering he had said said the same thing to her. He also recognised this and smiled back. He stood up and reached a hand out to help her up. They sway back and forward listening to the people singing outside.
No one mourns the wicked...
No one cries they won't return...
No one lays a Lilly on their grave...
They stand there for a while feeling content in each others arms listening to the people of Oz celebrate the wicked witches death. He pulls away slowly backing away.
"Come... It's time to leave."
"We can never come back to Oz can we?" She sighed
"No..." He said apologetically
She thought about all the nice things that have happened in the last few years like; her and Glinda becoming friends, falling in love with Fiyero, realising that he felt the same, her and Glinda's day in the Emerald city, getting to see the wizard (but hey look how that turned out). But then she thought about the bad ones like, getting laughed at at the Oz dust, thinking that Fiyero would never love her, becoming the wicked witch, the animal bans, doctor dillamond loosing his voice, Nessa's death, Fiyero's "death", having to say goodbye to Glinda... And she realises there where more bad then good.
"I... I just wish..." She started.
"What?" He asked. She looked up to him.
"That Glinda could know we are alive" she said with a hopeful look on her face. He reached a hand up to touch her cheek.
"She can't know, not if we want to be safe, no one can ever know." He said adding a sad smile.
"Come" he said walking away extending a hand out for her.
She looked out the window and toward the emerald city. She could still hear the people singing. She knew the hardest thing would be to leave Glinda behind but Fiyero had been right She couldn't know. No one could ever know. She started to sing quietly.
"Who can say if I've been changed for the Better...
But, because I knew you...
I have been changed for good..."
She turned around to face Fiyero and made her way toward him. He gave her a small smile and pulled her witch hat out from behind him, he put it on her and held her hand and they started their journey out of Oz.
