I Couldn't be Bubblier Thank Goodness Ch 2

"Miss Thropp a young lady is here in the courtyard she wants to see you. Says she went to school with you and your sister."

"I thought I told you never to mention my sister, Lech."

"I didn't ... she... yes Miss Thropp." The munchkin squeaked as he left the room.

Nessarose wheeled herself out into the courtyard where the girl was to be found.

She pushed open to find no one but Glinda Uppland.

"Nessa!" Glinda squealed. "I just wanted to drop by and see you."

"What the? Glinda, are you in a giant bubble?" Nessa asked.

"Why yes, I am. Why do you ask."

"Oh no reason, just not something you see everyday." Nessa giggled

The look on Glinda's showed she wanted to get out of the bubble and embrace the Governess. Fortunately for Nessa she was too afraid of letting it fly away and be stuck in Munchkinland.

Glinda looked around. "Hey where is..."

"MISS GALINDA"

"THE GA IS SILENT WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?"Glinda screamed obviously tired of people getting her name wrong. A short person but unreasonably tall munchkin entered the courtyard wearing all gray. "Hello Boq."

"HELLO MISS GLINDA, HAVE NOT SEEN YOU IN A WHILE."

"Yes, you can calm down." Glinda said with annoyance of Boqs' over enthusiastic reply.

"Has either other one of you heard form Elphie lately?"

"Absolutely not." Was Nessa's instantaneous reply. Boq contemplated the thought as though he was choosing his words as carefully as you might choose fruit for the Ozma.

"Sorry Miss. Glinda, I haven't but if I had I most certainly would have told you." Glinda secretively rolled her eyes. Not seeing any more of a purpose to be in Munchkinland she was prepared to go. She was almost disappointed that Boq didn't mention the bubble.

"Well I really should be going I have to arrange a party and I..." she trailed off

Boq moved forward to give her a hug good bye, when Glinda just warned , "Boq I don't know if you'll-" It was too late. Boq tried to break free of the glassy surface but the bubble was too strong.

"It could be worse." Boq said optimistically. Glinda couldn't think of any thing too much worse than being trapped in a not so big space with Boq. Or was it Biq?

"No matter the wizard can get us out of here, never the less I still must run some errands before we return to the Emerald City.

As an act of misfortune Boq bumped the arm Glinda used to hold her wand. The bubble raced forward and before you could say, "Sweet Larine, a giant bubble is out to get me!" the bubble had added another captive. Nessa also attempted to free herself from the bubbly wrath but was unsuccessful.

"It's starting to get crowded in here." Boq stated.

"Let's ask Fiyero if he can get us out of here, he might know!" Glinda squealed. Boq simply groaned once Glinda mentioned Fiyero's name. Glinda touched the bubble with the tip of her wand and off they were.
