A/N: Just a short drabble that I had to write. I sort of like looking at things from Glinda's point of view, it's different, which is why I wrote this.
Disclaimer: I wish I owned Wicked, but sadly, I do not.
Life here in the Emerald City is so… boring. Being "Glinda the Good" really isn't all it's cracked up to be. I've been working nonstop to reverse every corrupt thing that the Wizard did, and I think it's finally coming along. Life in Oz is getting a lot better, for everyone. Except me.
Everything in the Emerald City, of course, is green. It's pleasing to the eyes, certainly. But it keeps making me think of a certain green girl that I knew. I still miss Elphie terribly. She was the best friend I ever had, and it was true what I said to her all those years ago, though I've had so many friends over the years, I've only ever had one that mattered.
Sometimes I wonder what my life would've been like if I had gone with Elphie when she suggested it. Would we have been able to stop the Wizard… together? Or was it right that I stayed behind?
I still can't believe she's gone. Elphie was always so strong, unfaltering, unwavering. She never gave up, especially not when it came to defending what was right. I never told her, but she always made me feel so weak.
Though, in a way, that same feeling of weakness is what prodded me to become what I am today. Now, instead of just being a pretty face that cares only for herself, I actually use my power and influence to make Oz a better place. I think Elphie would be proud.
She always made me want to be stronger, to be a better person. She was my role model. I looked up to the green girl immensely. Most people would be shocked to learn that Glinda the Good actually looked up to the Wicked Witch of the West, but I did. I still do, too.
Every time things get difficult, and I feel like just giving up, I look back to what Elphie did. She sacrificed everything just to make Oz a better place. Just to stand up for what was right. I admire her so much for that, and I just wish that I had the strength to be as brave as she was.
I just wish Elphie was here again. I miss my friend. Surprising as it would be to most people, it's true. I, Glinda the Good, miss the Wicked Witch of the West.
