A/N: Hello people. Here is the next chapter.

The next few weeks were filled with wedding preparations. Headmaster made a joke saying that Ricky and Anna spend more time out of the classroom than in. He understood though so it was ok. When Glinda found out she hit a 9.5 on the shrill meter. It's the meter used to measure how high Glinda's shrills were. It went from 1 to 10 so she went pretty high up. There was one thing that kept the wedding from being fully ready. Every day something went missing. At first it was small things. Stamps, envelopes, the little candies. Things that could be easily remedied. Then more important things started disappearing. Lists of guests, maps to the church, even scraps of fabric for Anna's dress. Then the biggest thing or should I say person disappeared.

Ricky walked to Anna's room to wake her up. Their wedding day was upon them. He knew that tradition said that he couldn't see her but he said screw tradition I can see her if I want to. He knocked on the door. He expected her to run to the door and fling it open with excitement but there wasn't a sound. He knocked again. Still no answer. He tried the doorknob. It opened to show Anna's room. It was a dull grey. It was a sad, depressing kind of grey. There wasn't a sound in the room. No soft breathing, no shower going, not even a rustle from the wardrobe. He didn't know what happened. Her room was a mess, like a struggle had gone on. Her window was broken. He didn't want to think it but he knew what had happened. He walked to her bed, trying to keep his breathing down. Anna wasn't in her bed, all that was there was a note that said "Anna is mine, no one else's, she won't return a virgin bride, if she returns at all". Ricky sat on Anna's bed with his head in his hands. Sweet Anna. Gone. Like dust in the wind.

Elphaba came in the room. She had expected a happy yellow to fill the room but there was nothing. She saw Ricky with his head in his hands, shaking. He went over to comfort him. "Hey Ricky, what's the matter?" She asked. He handed her the note. She read it quickly before collapsing to her knees. She called to her husband.

"F-F-FIYERO!!!" She screamed. Fiyero ran in the room. He was still in his pajama shirt and pants. He went over to Elphaba, holding her in his arms.

"What's wrong, Fae?" He asked gently. Elphaba held up the note. He took it and read it. His heart dropped to his stomach. His little Buttercup. Taken. He held Elphaba tighter, not wanting to let her go. Soon Glinda and Boq came in. They also read the note. Glinda broke her shrill meter in sadness and Boq punched the wall in anger. They were all distraught. Soon Fiyero spoke.

"What are we going to do?" He asked. Ricky stood.

"I know exactly what we're going to do." He said as his eyes sparkled with determination. "We're going to find this guy and beating the living hell out of him." He yelled.
