Ugh! I apologize for the length but I just wasn't in the mood/it seemed like a good place to end the chapter.

Elphaba'sGirl: Thanks, I thought it was cute. It kind of sounds like it's from a cheesy movie though. I guess it's a good thing that I go on and off the list. I mean, you can't have stories of just fluff. You need the sad moments to make the story gripping.

Broadwaygirl21: I didn't get the quote from anywhere, so I don't know. I just thought it fit the scene.

Lunar Sunsets: Maybe Boq was sleeping. I just thought I'd put Glinda behind the wheel because, I don't know, because I could.

"What happened to you two?" Dorothy asked, cackling with laughter as Rikla and Melena walked into the 'Teenagers Den' dripping wet

"Sprinklers, a lot of sprinklers" Rikla replied, both of them giggling

"So, you two are...?" Elvira began, moving her eyes to Melena's hand

Melena grinned, holding out her hand and revealing an elegant silver band dotted with diamonds. Dorothy cleared her throat in an exaggerated manner "And you would like to thank your amazing sister for helping this to happen" she grinned, her hand placed on her heart

"Oh yes, I express my gratitution" Melena began, a devious smile making its way to her face "I want to thank you with a hug!"

Dorothy had never gotten out of a seat so quickly "Uh, you know what; I- uh- already feel your appreciation" she giggled nervously

Melena began to chase Dorothy around the room, Rikla and Elvira watching and laughing "Oh, no. I don't think you truly understand how grateful I am. I think a hug would truly let it soak in"

"Really, I think I- oof!" Melena tackled Dorothy to the ground, shaking her wet hair in her face "Stop!" Dorothy laughed "I feel your gratitude!"

"What are you doing?" Oscar asked as he walked into his work room to see Emily snooping around

Emily looked up at him in a panic "I- uh- I was just trying to see if you had kept anything of Dorothy's"

Oscar narrowed his eyes suspiciously "Why would I keep Dorothy's stuff in my work room?"

"I don't know, I- I just didn't know where else to look"

Oscar smiled, he forgot how new all of this was for her "Come with me, I'll show you her room"

Emily's eyes lit up "Really?"

"Yeah, of course! maybe afterwards we could go visit her?"

Emily looked confused for a second before realizing Oscar meant her grave "Uh- yeah okay" she said hesitantly "what's the worst that could happen?"
