Chapter 7: The LIFECHANGAGRAM
"Oh Lily! The worst thing just happened!" Galinda burst into Aly and Lily's room, just as they were doing their homework.
"No...Aly, I promise you: Kantor Gramper had a mice army...not lice. And no, I'm not a smartass! What?" Lily looked at Galinda, who seemed to be close to tears. "Oh Galinda! What happened?"
"It's...it's...IT'S FIYERO!" She broke down completely. Lily looked startled and put an arm around Galinda's shoulder.
"What's wrong with him?" Lily asked.
"He's become modified and he's thinking! That really worries me..." Galinda said. Aly rolled her eyes. Lily smacked her.
"Oww! Hey!"
"Calm down Galinda...now when did this happen?"
"After class yesterday." Galinda said. "And I've changed my name to Glinda now!" she proclaimed
"O.K. Glinda..." Lily sighed. Aly got up.
"Lily, you're more of the sensitive, gushy type. I'm outtie." She said, closing the door. Lily rolled her eyes.
"Tackless...as usual Aly." Lily said. Glinda grabbed her face.
"Less about Aly, more talky about me!" she shouted. Lily wriggled out from her grasp.
"Oh boy..." she said
Aly walked down a hall and saw a beautifully elaborated door.
"Madam Morrible's Study..." she read. Madam Morrible had left for the day for work in the Emerald City. Surely, it wouldn't hurt if Aly had a look around. She opened the door. Madam Morrible's study looked plain and boring. Just like the teachers back at Aly's school.
"Wow...exciting." Aly rolled her eyes. She turned and saw a cardboard structure on Madam Morrible's desk. Aly walked towards the desk to see what it was. It was...a smaller version of a room. The big talking head was a big hint that it was the Wizards. But...wait, the figures inside...One was Elphaba, Galinda, flying monkeys? Was this a model that showed the future? Or was it like in Phantom, were the props showed what the Phantom wanted to happen. Or..?
Aly looked on the side to see a list of instructions.
"TO CHOOSE A LOCATION, SPEAK THE NAME CLEARLY TO THE LIFECHANGEAGRAM." they read. Aly smiled.
"Indian Mound Middle School." she said. Instantly, the room inside the box changed to resemble a hallway in Aly's school. But...no figures.
"TO GET PEOPLE FIGURES, SPEAK THE NAME OF THE PERSON TO THE LIFECHANGEAGRAM." the instructions read.
"Hell yeah, I could get used to this." Aly said. She remembered when Mr. Kieth, the algebra teacher had made write a paper on the history of the decimal when she forgot her homework
"Let's see...it looked like he is teaching a class. Let's see..." Aly looked at the tiny classroom, Mr. Kieth was at the front, pointing at the board. "Nice suit..." she told herself, taking off Mr. Kieth's clothes. Wait...another idea came to Aly. This could be fun. Aly looked around and gathered up the LIFECHANGEAGRAM and carried it to her dorm room.
Meanwhile, back at Aly's school, Mr. Kieth was having an embareassing day at school.
"WHAT THE-?" Mr. Kieth looked down at his underwear. "THIS IS CRAZY!" the student's were laughing and his face had turned red.
Aly went back to her room, were Glinda was still crying.
"Glinda, will you shut up for a minute or so? I need to show you something!" She put down the LIFECHANGEAGRAM and showed her what she had done.
"Nice Aly! Does this thing have other places?" Lily said, looking around.
"What were you thinking?" Aly said. Lily grinned
"Dawn's house..." Aly laughed.
"Great!" she set the LIFECHANGEAGRAM to resemble Dawn's house. Dawn was a bitch in Lily's grade.
"Looks like she's on some sites that's against the Computer Acceptability Rules..." Lily said. She grabbed the teacher in the class, Miss. Lily, and put her right over Dawn's shoulder.
"Ahhh...I wish I there was a play button on this thing..." Lily smiled. Glinda looked at the LIFECHANGEAGRAM.
"May I take a look?" she asked. Lily shoved the LIFECHANGEAGRAM (I am getting really tired of spelling this) over to Glinda. The thought for a moment and said.
"Show me were Fiyero is." she said. The scene inside the box changed to show a dark forest. There was already figures, one of Fiyero, one of Elphaba and one of a lion cub.
"We're in that scene already?" Aly asked.
"Aly SHUT UP!" Lily smacked Aly over the head, once again.
"Why is my Fiyero with Elphaba?" Glinda asked, looking murderous.
"Didn't we tell you?" Lily asked.
"Yeah, there were...um...assigned to do a project together!" Aly said. Glinda bristled.
"Well, that shows even more that Fiyero has changed! Now he's going homework? What will happen next? Is he going to actually study?" Glinda shivered. "No, not my Fiyero! That...that asparagus has brain-washed him into thinking that school matters! You can flirt with my Fiyero, you can even make out with him, for all I care. But this is were I draw the line! DON'T WORRY FIYERO! I'LL SAVE YOU!" Glinda bounced out the door, leaving Aly and Lily looking dumbstruck.
"Ummm...O.K." Lily said
"Have fun with that." Aly said
"Do you think we should go after her? Glinda might really hurt Elphaba." Lily said
"Lily, do you really think that Glinda could hurt Elphaba? I mean, she can hardly use a wand!" Aly said
"C'est vrais." Lily said. Aly nodded
"Yes, I am always right. Now, lets get onto studying…"
The next day, Elphaba came tearing into Aly and Lily's room.
"Aly, you're hopeless! You'll never pass this test. Elphaba! What happened!" Aly hopped up.
"Madam Morrible got a reply from the Wizard! I'm heading to the Emerald City!"
"That's great! Can we come with you?" Aly asked. Elphaba nodded
"Awesome! The Emerald city has such great shopping!" Lily said.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Elphaba said.
"Wait, we're going now?" Aly asked.
"Yep, so let's go!"
At the train station, Glinda and Fiyero approached Elphaba, Lily and Aly.
"Um, Fiyero and I want to wish you good luck." Glinda said. Fiyero nodded.
"Theses are for you Elphaba." Fiyero said, giving her some flowers. Elphaba blushed green and took them. Fiyero smiled and walked away. Glinda looked after him and burst into tears.
"What's wrong?" Elphaba asked. Glinda looked at her.
"Fiyero! He's…he's…changed!" Glinda said. "After that stupid goat left…"
Aly and Lily watched patiently as Glinda explained.
"Come with me…to the Emerald City…" Aly and Lily heard chanting in the distance.
One Short Day, in the Emerald City…
Glinda whipped her tears. "Oh, I've always wanted to go to the Emerald City!"
One Short Day, in the Emerald City…
Aly, Lily, Glinda and Elphaba were then magically transported to the Emerald City. Due to the plot, Glinda and Elphaba's clothes didn't change, but Aly and Lily's had. Aly was now wearing a green and dark green striped dress that went down to her knees with green pumps. The dress was very poofy like. Her hair also had green highlights to them. Lily had long green gauchos and a lime colored short with big sleeves. On her head were green tinted sunglasses. She was wearing Emerald flats.
"Wow!" Aly said.
"Look! The Emerald City!" Lily said.
One
short day
In the Emerald City
One short day
Full of so much
to do
Ev'ry way
That you look in the city
There's something
exquisite
You'll want to visit
Before the day's through
Aly and Lily were dancing around with the tourists. The Emerald City, they
decided was Oz's version on New York City. Aly, who had been born in New York, felt like she was home.
"Aly! Lily! Come on! Glinda got us tickets to see Wizo-Mania!" Elphaba said.
Who's
the mage
Whose major itinerary
Is making all Oz merrier?
Who's
the sage
Who's sagely sailed in to save our posteriors?
Whose
enthuse for hot air ballooning
Has all of Oz honeymooning?
Woo
- oo -oo
Wizn't he wonderful?
Aly and Lily left soon after to do some shopping. Soon, a clear voice rang out through Oz.
"THE WIZARD WILL SEE YOU NOW!"
Day!!
