Dont Dream Too Far

Prologue
This is a Gelphie story! W00T!
I love this pairing mostly because Wicked is an awesomely great book and musical, and Glinda and Elphaba work so well off each other. Besides, Gregory Maguire himself says there could be a relationship between the two and he certainly hints at it in the book. After reading some really good fan fiction, I decided to try writing it myself. So here goes my first try at Gelphie.
Quick note: From what Ive seen, I have decided that the Elphaba in this story will be based off Idina Menzel with a bit of Shoshana Bean and Eden Espinosa, and Glinda will be Kristin Chenoweth (I think I spelled that right) with a bit of Megan Hilty and Annaleigh Ashford.
There is also my OC Rooku Garin whos from Gillikin. He is G(a)linda and Elphabas best friend after its discovered theres no more room in the boys dorm, so he has to take a single at Crage Hall (poor guy). He watches during Popular, goes with them to the Emerald City, and helps Elphie escape in Defying Gravity. In the second act he becomes a member of the Emerald City council and keeps a secret correspondence with Elphaba. Hes there during For Good and watches her die in the closet with Glinda. After that, when Madame Morrible is thrown in jail, he takes over head of the Emerald City Council. Okay, I hope that wasnt too confusing. ^_^; Oh and one more thing: all the men in his family dye their beard green at age eighteen.
Disclaimer: I dont own Wicked. It belongs to Stephen Schwartz and Gregory Maguire. Rooku and other characters are mine.
This story is dedicated to my sister, who got me started on Wicked and on writing fan fiction. She came up with the title, so it is for her I write this, Love ya, sis!
I hope you like it!
Rated NC-17 for explicit content. If you dont like it, go read something else. However, this prologue is PG.
I take up my pen to write of these events as I remember. I have talked to those who where involved and changed the names of those who wished to remain anonymous.
Many have asked me the nature of my relationship with the Wicked Witch of the West. Somehow the rumors came out that I knew her, along with Glinda the Good, at school. That part is true, but we both knew her not as the Witch, but as Elphaba Thropp. Some have asked me if she was in love with me or with the captain of the guards, Fiyero. I suppose she did, but only as a friend loves a friend, or one loves their sibling; the same for myself. Of her love for Fiyero, I knew nothing.
But only one held her heart. Only one person could love her the same way most could not, for none ever became as intimate with her as this person. Only one could fall in love with her and her with them.
And that was Glinda.
The facts written here are as accurate as I can make them. May the Unnamed God guide me in imparting these words to all.
