Author's Note: The credit for this goes to Aoi Dragon, who wanted Cynthia and Lisa to sing a song together. So, here it is, just for you!

Chapter 6: Defying Gravity

Lisa grabbed Cynthia. "Come on, let's go!"

"Well, what song would we do? I don't know many songs." She asked, nervously. When Lisa told her, she grinned. "That I know! Let's go!"

They left Jackson standing there, feeling confused. Sheila sidled up beside him and said, "Left ya in the dust, huh? I can fix that."

Jackson grimaced and stepped away. "Sorry, but I'm taken."

Meanwhile, Lisa and Cynthia walked up to the stage. Or, rather, Cynthia ran and Lisa was dragged. "We'll go! We'll go!" Cynthia said, jumping on stage.

"Um, okay." Mary said, startled. "What do you want to do?"

"Defying Gravity from Wicked!" Cynthia said excitedly.

"You got it." Mary said, and turned to the song.

Cynthia was Glinda, and she started speaking.

"Elphaba-why couldn't you have stayed calm for once, instead of flying off the handle!"

Then she sang,

I hope you're happy!

I hope you're happy now

I hope you're happy now you

Hurt your cause forever

I hope you think you're clever!

Lisa pretended to be mad, and sang,

I hope you're happy

I hope you're happy, too

I hope you're proud how you

Would grovel in submission

To feed your own ambition

Cynthia joined in.

So though I can't imagine how

I hope you're happy right now.

Cynthia started speaking again.

"Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry:"

She started singing again.

You can still be with the Wizard

What you've worked and waited for

You can still have all you ever wanted…

Lisa interrupted her and said,

"I know."

She started singing.

But I don't want it-

No-I can't want it

Anymore

Something has changed within me

Something is not the same

I'm through with playing by the rules

Of someone else's game

Too late for second-guessing

Too late to go back to sleep

It's time to trust my instincts

Close my eyes: and leap!

It's time to try

Defying gravity

I think I'll try

Defying gravity

And you can't pull me down!

Cynthia interrupted, singing,

Can't I make you understand?

You're having delusions of grandeur

Lisa scowled and sang,

I'm through accepting limits

'Cuz someone says they're so

Some thing I cannot change

But till I try, I'll never know!

Too long I've been afraid of

Losing love I guess I've lost

Well, if that's love

It comes at much too high a cost!

I'd sooner buy

Defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye

I'm defying gravity

And you can't pull me down

She turned to Cynthia and said,

"Glinda-come with me. Think of what we could do: together."

She sang,

Unlimited

Together we're unlimited

Together we'll be the greatest team

There's ever been

Glinda-

Dreams the way we planned 'em

Cynthia smiled and sang,

If we work in tandem

Lisa joined in, smiling.

There's no fight we cannot win

Just you and I

Defying gravity

With you and I

Defying gravity.

Cynthia stopped as Lisa continued.

They'll never bring us down!

She turned back to Cynthia and said,

"Well? Are you coming?"

Cynthia sang,

I hope you're happy

Now that you're choosing this.

Lisa spoke two words before she started singing again.

"You too."

I hope it brings you bliss

Cynthia joined in.

I really hope you get it

And you don't live to regret it

I hope you're happy in the end

I hope you're happy, my friend

Lisa sang to the audience, inwardly laughing at how funny they must look.

So if you care to find me

Look to the western sky!

As someone told me lately:

"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"

And if I'm flying solo

At least I'm flying free

To those who'd ground me

Take a message back from me

Tell them how I am

Defying gravity

I'm flying high

Defying gravity

And soon I'll match them in renown

And nobody in all of Oz

No Wizard that there is or was

Is ever gonna bring me down!

Cynthia sang to her.

I hope you're happy!

The people on the recording sang,

Look at her, she's wicked!

Get her!

Lisa ignored them and sang,

Bring me down!

The people sang again.

No one mourns the wicked

So we've got to bring her

Lisa screamed, pretending to fall.

"Ahhh!"

The people said,

"Down!"

Lisa and Cynthia bowed to the thunderous applause.

"I think we're a hit." Lisa said to Cynthia as they walked off the stage.

"Well done, ladies, well done!" Mary said, after the applause was done. "I don't think anyone will be able to beat that, but you're certainly welcome to try! Anyone wanna try?"

TBC…

Well, that's done! Next chapter: La vie Boheme from Rent! Hope you enjoy it!
