Elphaba opened the spell book and showed Glinda the spell. Luckily, it was not from the Grimmerie, so the words were much easier for Glinda to read. The instructions to the spell said that the two people who were switching bodies had to hold hands and chant the spell. "Do you think it'll work?" Glinda asked.
"I really hope so, Glinda." Elphaba replied. They held hands and chanted the spell. When they finished, there was nothing.
"Uh, Elphie, why am I still green?" Glinda asked.
Elphaba looked down at her own hands and noticed that they were still tan. "Um, Glin, I hate to say it, but the spell didn't work, maybe we should try that it again."
Glinda agreed to do the spell again and they did, this time, they both put a little more effort into the words. Nothing happened.
"Ugh! It isn't strong enough!" Elphaba shouted after the spell.
"Let's try the spell that I found." Glinda suggested. They tried the spell, and once again, nothing happened. "Elphie, are we going to be stuck like this forever?! I don't really want to be you… no offence."
"No, Morrible's spell couldn't have come from the Grimmerie, so it MUST be reversible! We just have to keep trying and we can't loose hope!"
"What if we did try a spell from the Grimmerie?" Glinda asked. "It would be more powerful than Morrible's."
"Glinda, it's too dangerous… I feel like I'm talking to myself!" they both laughed. "I need to get back to the Emerald city, people might get suspicious. I promise I will be back tomorrow though." Elphaba said.
"What if I went to the Emerald City you must be tired of having to come here."
"It's too dangerous… unless…" Elphaba gave Glinda her new broom that was enchanted with invisibility, and flight.
"Here, use this, you will become invisible when you ride it." Elphaba explained.'
"But Elphie, how will you get back?"
"Where's my old broom?" Glinda went and found it.
"I am really not good at flying brooms. I think it almost killed me the last time."
Elphaba laughed imagining it. "You'll get used to it."
"Bye Elphie!" Glinda shouted at her best friend as she flew away.
When Elphaba landed on her balcony in the emerald city, thankfully unnoticed, she saw through the glass door that someone was in the room. Oh no, this is it; they will see me with the broom and- Elphaba's thought was cut off.
"Elphaba? Is that you?"
Elphaba left the broom out on the balcony, and went inside. "Oh no, I'm Glinda." Elphaba did a very bad toss-toss."
"Elphaba, I know it's you, don't worry, I'm Fiyero. Madame Morrible told me the other day tht she did a spell to switch you and Glinda."
"Ok, you've got me, but how did you become captain of the guards?" Elphaba asked.
"I never thought I'd say this, but hard work." Fiyero replied. "I've missed you, the real Glinda actually proposed to me just a few days ago before the spell."
"Did you accept?" Elphaba asked.
"Well, it was strange, she threw an engagement party and that was the first I heard of the whole thing; so, uh not really. The truth is… um..i…"
"Yes Fiyero?" Elphaba tried to speed him up.
"Elphaba, I think… I'm in love with you."
Elphaba smiled. "Before I left for the Emerald City to meet the wizard that day, I was starting to think that I might be in love with you." They just stood there for a minute looking at each other until Elphaba said "Can you help Glinda and I get back to normal? We need a spell to change us back."
"Of course I will, it is strange to talk to you, but be looking at Glinda."
Elphaba raised an eyebrow at Fiyero. "So, you'll help us because you want us to look normal, not because I could be arrested and thrown in prison for life, or worse?"
"It is pretty easy to tell it's you, Elphaba with your facial expressions." Fiyero said smirking. Elphaba just rolled her eyes.
Elphaba and Fiyero went to the palace library to find a spell. As they searched the library, Fiyero asked a lot of questions. "Have you talked to the real Glinda since this happened?"
"yes."
"Have you traveled by bubble?"
"Yes."
"Does Madame Morrible know?"
Elphaba realized that Fiyero was just standing there asking questions. "Fiyero! Less talking, more looking!"
"Sorry Elphaba."
Just then, Morrible walked in. "Did someone say 'Elphaba?'"
