My Home
A Jelsa Fanfiction
Hello all! As a wrap up, you know I always like to do some fun stuff just because I can. To those actually reading this, I thank you for sticking with My Home to the very end. So enjoy this last deleted scene!
Deleted scene: Defying Gravity and Letting it Go.
I'm sitting with Anna on the bed in my room, talking about what happened in choir today. She's laughing about Rose's suspension, and I laugh a bit with her.
"So, you're done being pushed around?" Anna asks. I nod.
Wait a second.
"I just got an idea!" I say, and run over to my phone. I get on YouTube and select a song.
"What are you doing?" Anna asks.
"Well, if I'm done being pushed around, why don't I prove it? In song?" Anna looks at the song selected, and grins.
"You be Elphaba, I be Glinda?" Anna asks with a grin. I nod, and press play.
GLINDA/ANNA
(spoken) Elphaba - why couldn't you have stayed calm for
once, instead of flying off the handle!
(sung) I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy how you
Hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you're clever!
ELPHABA/ME
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
BOTH
So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy right now
GLINDA/ANNA
(spoken) Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry:
(sung) You can still be with the Wizard
What you've worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted:
ELPHABA/ME
(spoken) I know:
(sung) 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!
GLINDA/ANNA
Can't I make you understand?
You're having delusions of grandeur:
ELPHABA/ME
I'm through accepting limits
'Cuz someone says they're so
Some things 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:
(spoken) Glinda - come with me. Think of what we could
do: together.
(sung) Unlimited
Together we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been
Glinda -
Dreams, the way we planned 'em
GLINDA/ANNA
If we work in tandem:
BOTH
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity
ELPHABA/ME
They'll never bring us down!
(spoken) Well? Are you coming?
GLINDA/ANNA
I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing this
ELPHABA/ME
(spoken) You too
(sung) I hope it brings you bliss
BOTH
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:
ELPHABA/ME
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!
GLINDA/ANNA
I hope you're happy!
CITIZENS OF OZ (Not us)
Look at her, she's wicked!
Get her!
ELPHABA/ME
:Bring me down!
CITIZENS OF OZ
No one mourns the wicked
So we've got to bring her
ELPHABA/ME
Ahhh!
CITIZENS OF OZ
Down!
Anna and I collapse on the bed in giggles. "That was fun!" Anna says.
"I know! We haven't sung that song since we were kids!" Anna and I were obsessed with Wicked. I was usually Elphaba, while Anna was Glinda. We would sing all the songs, and Defying Gravity was our favorite. We would sometimes put on show for our neighbors.
"I remember!" I say, and we hug.
Anna turns to me. "I know another song we could play..."
She grabs my phone and types in a song. I wait patiently.
"Ever think of just... letting it all go?" Anna asks with a grin. I smile.
"The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I'm free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on...
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back
The past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on!
The cold never bothered me anyway."
Let it go was another song we would sing non stop as kids. It should bring back painful memories, but it doesn't. It makes me feel good.
There is a knock on my door. "Girls?" Uncle Mark asks. "It's time for dinner! What are you doing in there?"
"Oh, just Defying Gravity and Letting it Go!" We say at the exact same time. We look at each other, and burst out laughing.
Today was a good day.
And it's done. But... before I forget, I need to give some special thank yous to a few extremely wonderful people!
