Elizabeth packed. And while she packed, she thought of some great memories she had of this house. Oh, there were some bad ones, but mostly good ones. Her redhead little brothers running around the morning room, stealing sweets and getting punished for eating them. Her father playing the piano with his stuffed fingers while she sang an aria about a land beyond the rainbow. Her mother using a grimoire to makes little toys for her. But that's why I'm doing this, she thought, to cherish those memories. Her eyes caught a trinket. It was a shiny keychain and depicted the same blonde woman on the wall of the pink room. She was standing on a golden pedestal that said "Glinda: Emerald Emperor of Oz". So this Glinda woman was the Emerald Emperor, she thought, Probably this trinket was a souvenir from the Emerald City her parents got when they last visited it. Stealthily, she snuck it into her small knapsack. Elizabeth had packed nothing but it, some clothes, a toothbrush and a picture of her family. She wanted to always remember what she was fighting for. Her mother to be accepted. Her father to be safe and transformed back into a human. Her little brothers, Fredrick and Edward, to live in a world that had freedom and that was full of love. She would change Oz, or at least teach them love and make it realize their flaws. But right now, she needed to get there.
Elizabeth met her family at the border, knapsack slung over her back.
"Do you really want to do this?" Elphaba asked.
"Yes, Mother, I do," Elizabeth conformed. With a sigh, her mother raised her broom and chanted an incantation. Where the bluish tint of the border enchantment once was, now it had vanished.
"Is this really happening?" Elizabeth thought aloud.
"Yes, sweetie. It is," her mother said.
"It's going to be so hard to say goodbye! Oh Freddy! I'll miss you and your stealing of treats!" She kissed her brother on the head. "And Eddy! Your vibrant red hair will forever be in my mind!" She kissed her other brother on the head. "Father!" Elizabeth ran over to Fiyero and embraced his stuffed body. "I love you to the edge of the universe and back! And Mother!" She blinked back tears, "I will do anything for you to be accepted," And with that she stepped past the once-border, looked back, and started walking, walking to Oz.
