Welcome Back To Oz
Idina stared at her husband.
"No, I'm not insane. Yes, she was here a half hour ago."
"Are you sure you didn't let her go over to Emily's house to play and forget? Again?" Taye smiled at Idina, his eyes glittering as he looked at his wife. "Look, I'm sure she's somewhere nearby if she is here. It's not like Fae to wander off."
She's more like her namesake than her mother, Idina thought to herself, running a hand through her hair as she turned back into Fae's room. Outside the window, the currently windy city of New York City loomed.
"Taye, I'm not joking. This is serious. It's a loveless world out there - not some cute love story. "
"Fine, fine. I'll check downstairs. Maybe she wants to scare us as a belated April Fool's joke or something."
Idina watched her husband disappear down the stairs, a frown on her face.
I wish it was a simple as that...

Elphaba slapped the back of Fiyero's head.
"What was that for!?"
"I let you make 'sacrifices' for me and stay here to help him, and this is the third time you've managed to lose Liir in the span of four days?!"
"It's not my fault that he found the closet door to Eart-"
"Well, I'm not the one who left it unlocked. You know it was for emergencies, and we can't have Fae bumbling in here again! I mean, Liir alone is a product of parents of... of... insane proportions! Put them two together and-"
"Now, whose idea was it to put the closet in Idina's house, mmmmmmm?" Fiyero smiled at his love before coming up to her, placing his hands on her hips and drawing her towards him.
"Look, I peeked into Idina's house. Fae's missing, too. So either they're both here or they're both there, and Liir couldn't have gotten past Idina and Taye. Which means they're in Oz." Fiyero placed a kiss on her forehead, trying to sooth his green enchantress' ruffled feathers. "Fughettaboutit. I'm sure they'll be back soon. Besides, if Liir's with her, Fae won't be left behind. They're both safe."
Elphaba watched her husband turn and walk out of the room, a frown on her face.
I wish it was as simple as that...

Liir smiled at his bestest bestest friend in the whole wide world!
Fae smiled back.
"I can't believe we got out!" Liir beamed at Fae, his otherworldly buddy, his silly secret sister.
She was SO cool.
And pretty.
And she had awesome parents. (According to his parents and the stories they told.)
Liir raced forward.
"Hey, don't forget to remember me!" Fae bounced up behind him.
"I'm still not supposed to be here! I'm not even supposed ta leave the house, never mind go in another world! It was always you on Earth before!" Fae bit her lip, a worry line creasing her forehead.
"But that was at night time, and all we ever played with were your silly dolls. Besides, I have sumtin' I wanted ta show ya!"
Liir offered his hand to the self proclaimed milk chocolate child, and she took it and let him lead her out of the palace, looking back at it as she walked.
Fae wasn't sure why she had agreed to go with Liir in the first place. Sure, he was fun, and the green diamonds he had showed her were SO cool - it made her feel better about her unique skin - but...
....... she didn't want to disobey her parents.
Plus she had a singing recital tomorrow.
"Fae, it's right ov-"
Liir's voice was suddenly cut off.
"What's right over..."
A familiar hat with a not so familiar face loomed above her. A familiar stranger, holding a damp rag over Liir's mouth rather calmly.
A face that Fae had only seen on a Broadway stage and imagined in the fairy tales told to her by her mother.
"Poor, unfortunate souls," the male voice murmured, and then everything in Fae's vision went black.
To help people (-cough-Ash-cough-) who think I mean Ursula - I don't. I would like you to go back into the review of the past ten years and carefully look over who I specified was *not* dead.
I Couldn't Be Happier
As Idina was waiting by the window, the doorbell rang. As she was not in the right frame of mind, her eyes searched pleadingly for to Taye to answer it. However, he wasn't in the room. As if he could read her mind, he was at the door and let out an excited, "hello."
Maybe it's Fae. Idina came rushing into the front doorway surprised to see Eden Espinosa at her door.
"Eden?"
"Hey girl!"
"Hi..." she awkwardly went over to hug her friend, and quickly snapped out of her disappointment.
Taye interjected. "Look, Eden we are happy to see you drop by, but it's a little bit of bad time."
"Oh? Are you two alright?"
"Oh, we're never better, honey." Idina put her arms around Taye's hips. "It's just we can't seem to find Fae."
"Oh No? Can I help?"
"No, she's probably just soaking up the sunshine. It is a beautiful day. Really, I'm sure it's nothing."
Taye squeezed his wife's hand, showing his support for her bravery, and not wanting to alarm their friend.
"Well, I'll get out of your hair, I was just stopping by to say hello." Eden went towards the door, when all of a sudden she dropped her purse.
"Hey, let me help you with that."
"Really, Taye, it's not necessary..."
"Ah, Eden?"
"Yes, Taye?"
"Look, I know this is none of my business but, why do you have a picture of Norbert in your purse?"

Eden quickly snapped her purse shut, and slung it over her shoulder. She hissed, "Idina, can't you keep a tighter rein on your husband?"
Idina smiled as much as she could while worrying over Fae. "Give it up, Eden. Michelle got him."
Eden rolled her eyes and turned to leave. "Well, I'll keep a lookout for your girl, you two. But don't worry. Everyone knows who she is, and someone will call. She's only 10, and already has Idina's cheekbones."
