The adventures of Dorothy and Elphaba
Disclaimer: I do not own wicked.
Chapter 10
Fiyero woke up, total silence; the house had emptiness about it. This was odd, unexpected. He moved slowly down the hall towards Dorothy's room, hesitation to knock on the door arose in his stomach. " Dorothy!" He called out. When there was no answer he turned the doorknob and stepped inside, scanning, from the doorway. "Damn! They're gone"After, all that arguing she still disobeyed him; defied him.
Fiyero thought back: Fae, in bed next to him laid her head on his chest. He looked at her, deeply exploring, and her eyes aglow. Concentrating hard, those eyes had him. Her deep chocolate swirls; oh, love how it pulls you in and, never lets you go!
His lady looked at him; her eyes soft and she spoke: "Yero, I, we. Dorothy and I are going to the Emerald City, tomorrow! Whether you like it or not!"
"Fae! No! Don't even think about it! " He said, in a worried tone.
She sighed: "okay, Yero."
He got down stairs and noticed that the Grimmere had been left on the kitchen table. A note attached; read: Dear, YeroI apologize for this and I hope you can forgive me. This is my chance to prove myself! I have left the Grimmere with you in case you want to catch up with us. Forever yours, FaeFiyero slapped his forehead in frustration; would that girl ever truly understand his love for her?

Meanwhile, Dorothy and Elphaba continued their walk through the tall fields that separated the outskirts from Oz. Surprisingly the young farm girl found it very similar to the Kansas prairies; the only difference was the soft green color reflected from them.
"Elphaba, why didn't Fiyero come along?" Dorothy asked, with a week and simple smile.
"Now Dorothy don't fret over situations that you can't possibly take into your own hands!" The green woman said, laying a hand on the girl's shoulder.
"Why must things be so complicated?" The young girl shook her head making her braids danced just above her shoulders.
The witch laughed: " My dear girl the day will come when you will know everything you need to! A good friend, once told me that destiny does not exist in the stars." She mused, pausing for a second; her left eyebrow arched while she formulated words into a sentence: I suppose that destiny resonates from the heart!" Amazingly, that wasn't skeptical at all compared to the usual hypotheses and answers she formulated in her head after reading something.
"WOW!" Dorothy had once again fallen into the abyss of wonderment, which she never had seen before; for wisdom was overpowering her usual way of acting towards the woman escorting her back to Oz.
This made thoughts wander around in her head like a tornado spinning uncontrollably. Like a roller coaster ever since her return Dorothy had mixed feelings towards Elphaba, but now she was beginning to trust this woman beyond her 13 years of experience.

Meanwhile, Fiyero had gathered theGrimmere and was on his way. Faster and faster he ran; the beat of his heart against the cover of the book reminded him of his love! She needed him or at least she needed theGrimmere. When he was a few away from them he kept as quiet as he possibly could.

"Elphaba, something's coming!" Dorothy stated, in response to the rustling leaves behind her in the distance.
"What something?" The green woman asked, with a slight hint of annoyance.
"I don't know?" Dorothy shrugged.
Elphaba was losing patients; this had gone on for quite some time now: "Well if you don't know! I suggest that you keep your mouth shut and stop whining! Nothing is following us. Dorothy!"
The rustling continued and the girl kept on squirming with nervous jitters. The leaves moved closer and closer until a hand reached out and touched the jittering girl's shoulder.
"Hey!" Dorothy exclaimed, suspicious as to what could have grabbed her. Something dropped to the ground with a; definite thud that made Elphaba turn to face the direction that the young girl was facing.
"The Grimmere and Fiyero!" Dorothy exclaimed.
The green lady shook her head: "I should have known you'd give in! Fiyero! What am I going to do with you?"
"Have away with me as you please!" Fiyero cooed. The youngest of them now blushed and giggled.
"What are you laughing at? Come on little lady we've got a city to get to" Fiyero urged as they started to journey onward.

Meanwhile, Glinda was busily hurrying about after a long night sleep another day had arrived, to quickly. She took a quick shower and got into a lengthy blue dress that only had one sleeve, the other arm was naked. There were jeweled buttons in the front. On her feet she wore white high heels with silver bows on them and a white hat upon her head.
Today she was going to bravely tell them the truth about the wicked witch of the West, her friend and her fake enemy.
" Miss Glinda!" Came a voice from the other side of her bedroom door. Glinda cleared her throat: " Come in." A tall lien metallic man stepped through the door.
"May I have the honor of escorting you to your carriage, Madame?"
"Yes! What a gentleman!" She took his arm gracefully and the Tin man guided her out the door, down the hall and out to the carriage. She waved goodbye as the driver tugged on the reins. He waved back; and then she was gone.
"Time Square?" Asked the driver.
Glinda nodded, looking up only for a second. "All right than Time Square it is! He cracked the whip and the horses galloped faster; she like moving slowly, but every driver was different. The anticipation rose in her stomach along with nausea; she did not know how the Ozians would respond, but she did fear them turning against her.
The carriage came to a halt in the driver politely helped her ascend from the carriage. As she walked the carriage became farther and farther away. She walked the red carpet, hundreds of thousands of faces smiled up at her. She slowly stepped on to the emerald platform; cleared her throat and...
"Glinda! Glinda! Glinda!" Cheered the Ozians. She smiled weakly her grip tightened on the railing in front of her; her knuckles turned a ghostly white, small beads of sweat poured from her face. Glinda cleared her throat: "Fellow Ozians, I have a confession to make..."
Her audience stared like crickets in the night waiting for more; so, that they could make sense of what was coming; if they could make any sense at all out of it.
She began again: Do you remember the day that Madame Morrible got put in prison?"
"Yes" the Ozians replied.
"Okay, well then. Do you remember the day that Madame Morrible accused... Accused a girl of being... Wicked?"
"Yes, but; Glinda wasn't she Wicked?" Asked a citizen from the crowd.
"Well you heard this story many times before... You've asked the questions and you've heard my answers! What do you think she was? If I have been working on THE ANIMAL RIGHTS REGAIN ACT for months on end! There is a Goat that will answer who has struggled to regain his speech, but he also knows the true nature of the wicked witch. Without further ado I present to you, Doctor Dillamond!
"Thaaank you, Glinda" said the Goat, with acceptance of the right to speak in front of the people he had so long been isolated from.
Doctor Dillamond continued: "Her name was Elphaba Thropp! She succeeded in my history class. She wanted to aid the Wizard in his work not knowing he was behind the terrible things happening in Oz. When she found the truth she stayed true to herself and helped all Animals alike. That is why there was such a rumor! She may not have been sheltering rebel Animals, but she was helping them cope with their life's."

Elphaba, Dorothy and Fiyero had finally arrived; they were now in the Emerald City."What is all this it looks deserted," commented Dorothy, a confused look slowly forming on her face.
"Looks like we're going to Time Square!" Replied Elphaba, a smirk spread across her face.
