I'm so sorry that I haven't updated this story in, like, FOREVER, but I am now, so everything's good… Right? Well whatever. :P

Alright, so I had a poll up a while ago asking what "Elphaba's twin"'s name should be, and only about two people voted I think, so I just had to pick one of the names that they voted for, and that name is Esmeralda. For those of you who have seen The Hunchback of Notre Dame, then yes, I put that name up after the gypsy, Esmeralda. So don't freak out about it.

Disclaimer: see chapter one

Eric flopped down on the soft couch in the greenroom. It was opening night for them and he wanted to relax. Sabrina was scanning over her rack of poofy and pink costumes while Esmeralda was getting "greenified".

"Does that tickle?" Sabrina asked while looking at Esmeralda with a curious face.

"Yes. Yes it does. And, yes, you would have to sit still for about forty-five minutes straight while their putting it on, so don't even think about 'borrowing' it," she answered mockingly.

"Ohhhhhh… Well then never mind!"

Once they were dressed, the trio made their way to the other side of the hallway. Eric pressed his ear to the door and heard plenty of squealing. He slowly poked his nose inside to find that Galinda was having the time of her life, trying on some random costumes that were lying around.

"These clothes are soooooo cute!!!" she squealed. Elphaba and Fiyero were sitting awkwardly on a couch, chuckling at Galinda every now and again.

"Hey guys," Sabrina started. "I just, ya know, wanted to, like… apologize for, ya know, yelling at you and that I thought that, like, stole our costumes and… yeah." She blushed when she saw everyone laughing quietly at her.

"Heh. Yeah, it's okay," Fiyero responded.

"So we were wondering if you guys wanted to see the show tonight," Esmeralda interrupted.

"But we don't have any money! And I'm, like, totally not dressed to go to a theater, and we have to get home and-"Galinda whined.

"Okay, first of all, we can get you some tickets for free. Second, some people come to the show in jeans and a t-shirt, so you don't have to worry about that too much, and third, you can stay for another two and a half yours, can't you?" Esmeralda questioned.

Elphaba finally spoke up. "Come on, let's just see it! If it's about us, then maybe we can see if something happens in the future or if I get to meet the Wizard!" Or if Fiyero will even give me the time of day at some point, she thought internally.

"Alright fine! But it better be worth it!" Galinda gave up.

"Well," Eric started. "From what fans have told us it's apparently the greatest show ever. But don't take my word for it. Oh man, Sabrina, look at the time! You have to go and do that 'air clearance' thing with the bubble!"

"Omigosh!!! You're right!!! Bye guys!" Sabrina screamed as she stumbled over her gigantic, poofy, bubble dress.

"Well I guess we should be going too," Esmeralda said wearily. She and Eric sauntered out the door, up the stairs, and into the wings to wait for their cues.

Elphaba followed Galinda and Fiyero to their seats in the front row. They were obviously early, so some people were just starting to file into the audience.

"Do you think we'll get to see what we look like when we're older?" Galinda asked with excitement.

"I don't know, but Eric better be as good looking on stage as I am in real life," Fiyero boasted.

Elphaba gave him a sarcastic look, and then before they knew it, the theater was getting darker.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! WELCOME TO THE PERFORMANCE OF "WICKED"!.......

I'm really sorry that one was so short, but it was more of a "linking chapter", if you will. The show actually starts in the next chapter. Sorry. :P

REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!! :O
