The Emerald City was as exquisite as Elphaba ever dreamed it would be. The buildings were made of green marble, and covered with emeralds. All the people were wearing various shades of green
"It's all grand!" squealed Galinda
"And it's all GREEN!"Elphaba exclaimed
The train finally stopped about a mile from the palace. The girls walked slowly, enjoying, the shops, parks, and theaters.
They entered a hat shop, at Galinda's insistence.
As Galinda looked at the pretty hats from the City Elphaba found a hat she really liked from Pertha Hills. It was black and had a broad brim, the body of the hat came to a tall point.
She quickly bought it with some of the money her father gave her the night of the party.
Elphaba walked out of the shop, putting on the hat.
Galinda walked out and almost swooned at the sight of Elphaba in her new hat.
"What... are you... wearing?" she demanded
"My new hat do you like it?"
"No!"
"Well I do and I'm sure Yero will too." Elphaba stuck out her tongue at her best friend.
Galinda rolled her eyes.
Elphaba turned away, looked toward Munchkinland and sighed.
"Elphie what is it?" Galinda asked.
" I just wish Nessa was here... that's all!"
"Did I just here someone call me?" A familiar voice asked.
Elphaba wheeled around to see her half sister.
"Oh, Nessa!" she hugged the chair bound girl tightly. "What are you doing here?"
"Father and I are in the city on business...Fabala bad news he won't let me go to the wedding!"
"Not if I have anything to say about it...which I do!" Elphaba gave Galinda a hand signal
The blonde seemed to understand. She grabbed the chair and started pushing it.
"Where are we going?" Nessa demanded as Elphaba walked near her.
"We are going to pick out a dress than you are going to be a bride's maid at my wedding!"
The girls traveled in silence until the palace was only inches away then Nessa spoke up
"Hey Fabala what are you wearing?"
"Shut up!" Elphaba snapped as Galinda and Nessa laughed.
