Disclaimer: see chapter 1
Okay here it comes! Don't forget to review! Enjoy!
Gross! What's that smell? Elphaba thought as they journeyed into the city. Pollution and exhaust fumes filled the air, swirling around them in a blinding, gray fog. They wandered around the city until the evening came.
"I guess no one here is going to help," Elphaba said as they walked out of a store. They had gone into stores and asked the owners if they knew how to get back to Oz. Half of them said they had no idea what they were talking about. The other half threatened to call the police if they didn't get out of the shop.
"Well what did you except?" Galinda asked, extremely frustrated. "That three people would just pop up out of nowhere and tell us how to get home???"
Just as she said that, they heard a gasp. Elphaba spun around to meet the shocked gaze of a blonde. Instantly, she looked back and forth between the blonde and Galinda. They're almost twins! No, they're the same person! she thought.
"What on Earth are you doing with our COSTUMES???" the blonde questioned furiously.
"Costumes? What costumes?" asked Fiyero, slightly confused.
"What do you mean 'what costumes'? The one's you're wearing!" she responded.
"These aren't costumes! These are our clothes!" Fiyero yelled back.
"Oh stop lying, you sneaky little-!"
"Sabrina! Stop bothering those people! We're gonna be late!" a stern yet beautiful voice said from behind her. Everyone turned to see a woman swiftly walking towards them. Whoa! Fiyero thought. There are 2 Elphabas??? I must be in heaven!
"But they're wearing our costumes!" Sabrina whined. The woman just stared at the trio.
"What the-?" she started to say.
"Whoooooaaaaaa!!!" an excited, deep voice said from behind. Everyone turned, yet again, except this time to face a man who was too muscular to be a boy, but too young to be a man.
"They look just like us when we're in costume!" he said
"Yeah, way to point out the obvious, Eric!" said the woman.
He looked back at her with a pout. Oh my Oz! Elphaba thought. There are two Fiyeros??? I must by in heaven! She looked at Fiyero, smiled, and sighed. Oh, he's so perfect. Galinda doesn't know how lucky she is…
"Okay, for the last time, these aren't your costumes! These are our regular clothes!" Fiyero said in his perfect voice.
"Y'know what? Let's just take them to the theater and let Susan figure out if the stole our costumes or if it's just really good fan art." the woman resolved.
"Wait, what theater? Who's Susan?" Elphaba asked frantically.
"It'll only take a few minutes! And if you don't, we'll have to report you for theft. You're choice!" the woman threatened with an eyebrow raised.
Elphaba sighed and slightly nodded her head. The six of them started to walk down the street, but Galinda grabbed Elphaba's arm.
"Are you crazy? We've just met these people and now you're agreeing to go to some theater thing with them??? How do we know they're not in some sort of… cult or something?" Galinda whispered.
"I don't know why, but… I think we can trust them," Elphaba whispered back. Galinda gave her a skeptical look, but then nodded.
------------------------------
"There you are! Where have you been?" a man's voice yelled from backstage. The six of them had entered a huge, empty theater and were making their way in and out of seats towards the stage.
"Sorry, we got a little caught up," Eric explained while looking at his "twin".
What do you mean 'caught up?'" the man said as he came onto the stage. He was obviously was the director. Elphaba could sense the authoritative ego surrounding him.
"He means that these… copiers stole our COSTUMES!!!" Sabrina screamed.
The director looked the trio up and down. His eyes slowly started to get bigger and he suddenly yelled, "SUSAN!!!"
"WHAT???" a woman from backstage yelled.
"We need you out here, now!"
"Why?"
"WE JUST DO!!!"
"FINE!!!"
A woman with long blonde hair walked onstage and gave the director an annoyed look. He looked back at her with a worried look.
"We have a problem," he said nervously. She almost instantly looked at Eric, who was now staring idiotically at _____________.
"Oh, did Eric soil one of his costumes again?" she said with a smirk. Everyone burst out laughing and he pouted.
"Hey! You know that was just water!" he whined at her.
"I know! I know! I'm just teasing you!" she laughed. "But really, what's the problem?"
The director merely pointed at the "copiers". Susan walked down the steps, off the stage, and towards the trio. She looked at each one of them carefully, checking for certain seams and folds. Eventually, she gave up and just checked the tags on the back of their necks. She gasped when she saw what was there.
"Wh-where did you get these?" she asked them when she was done with her inspection.
"Well," Galinda started. "I got this at Lizzy's and I got Fiyero that jacket at the Shiz Boutique and I'm not really sure where Elphie gets her clothes…"
Susan just stared at her, but then finally turned to the director and the actors. "They didn't steal them. They're real."
