Broadway, NYC
Lin's POV
"Jennifer come on please," I begged sadly as my guardian began to get ready for her next
show. Jen signed and said, "I'm sorry Lin but you are just going to have to sit in the front
row and watch like you usually do. You can come and see me at intermission." Jennifer
Laura Thompson had been playing the role of Glinda the Good since the great Kristin
Chenoweth had to leave the part for reasons unknown. Oh I wish so much to meet her one
day. I had seen her on you tube and TV but nothing else. "Hey, Jen you almost ready?"
came Idina's voice as she came in completely green and in her blue suit costume. Idina
Menzel was the other lead in the show playing the role of the great Elphaba. Idina and I
were very close. I don't think there wasn't one thing that we couldn't agree on. "Hey Lin
are you trying to convince Jen to let you be in the show tonight?" she asked with a smile. I
nodded sadly at her. Words could not describe how much I wanted to take part in Wicked.
I didn't know why but I just felt like that was were I belonged once I heard the orchestra
start the legendary overture. "I'm sorry Lin but maybe next time." Jen said with a smile
now in her completely beautiful Glinda gown. Her beautiful red hair was now hidden by
the curly locks of a blonde wig. I only smiled at her as she and Idina left the room to
prepare their voices for all the singing they had to perform tonight. "Don't worry about it
Lin. You will one day be an amazing Glinda someday" Idina said encouraging me as she
left. I let my eyes then wonder through Jen's dressing room. Admiring all the roses and
flowers she had received for the show tonight then I looked into the medium size mirror Jen
had hanging on the wall. My blonde hair was in multiple curls and it touched the top of my
shoulders No
matter how hard I tried to straighten it, it always ended up curly and even more beautiful
then before. Or at least that is what Jen and Idina says. My skinny small frame would make
even a super model stare in awe and jealousy. And my pure green eyes and rosie lips
glowed from my pale skin. People have said it many times when I walk into the audience
to take my front row seat. The person sitting behind me, beside me or a couple of seats
across would ask the same question over and over again. "Excuse me but you look just
like Kristin Chenoweth, you wouldn't be her would you?" and I would always say with a
fake smile, "Thank you so much, but no I am not her." Then the show would begin
holding my interest until the end of the great final song. Idina told me she worked with
Kristin when she held the part of Glinda. But she never tells me anything else. She avoids
the subject at all cost. In a way I thought Idina was trying to keep me from asking any
questions that involved Kristin Chenoweth. But I looked away from the mirror when my
eyes landed on a particular card that was put in a vase of bright pink roses. I pick the card
up slowly as my eyes grew wider with each word.
Dear Jennifer,
Words can't describe how grateful I am for what you have done for Idina and me. You are the best protector I could asked for. Please write me back soon or send a picture of her so I can see how she has grown. I can not wait to wrap her in my arms and hold her tight.
Love and Kisses, Kris C.
Could it really be her. How did Jen know her. I mean she has never mention that she had.
And what did the rest of the card mean. "I can't wait to see how she has grown and to
wrap her in my arms and hold her tight." What was Jen and Idina hiding from me?
"Hey Lin," I nearly jumped out of my skin. I turned around to see Idina standing in the
doorway her eyes grew very large as she saw what I was holding in my hand. "Um, you
need to go and get to your seat." she said nervously as she walked in. "Oh I didn't forget. Happy
Almost Birthday," she said warmly giving my a hug as I place the card down near the
vase. "Thanks Idina, You always remember. What would I do without you." I said
cheerfully hiding my curiosity. I left Idina in the room as I dashed for the center front
row seat that was saved especially for me.
Elphaba's POV
"Oh my gosh what did she just read?" I thought to myself as my nerves began to slow
down. I picked up the pretty pink card and read over it quickly. That was when my
stomach began to turn. I had to keep the secret for about three more days. Glinda was
getting more excited by the hour. But Jennifer didn't want to leave the stage that quickly
and return to Oz. she wanted to stay for at least five more shows. And I couldn't blame
her. But I knew that Lin's marks would be showing up any day now. And it didn't surprise
me to see that she was indeed a picture perfect miniature Glinda. She had everything about
Glinda from head to toe including her personality. But I had to brush this thought from my
mind. The show was about to start and I had to get to my place. I would tell Jen later and
hopefully break the truth to Lin soon about how special she really is.
