Disclaimer: I am not that lucky duck person who owns Wicked. Just clearing that up. I don't own Hunk either okay? Okay.
"Damn." She whispered under her breath. Deciding that she could go no further without getting lost she walked to the trunk of a tree and sat against it. Chistery landed in the tree above her and watched curiously. The Witch rummaged through her bag, pulling out book after book, looking for something. Finally she pulled out what she had been looking for. The map she had mentioned in her story.
Chistery needed to know the rest of it. How it ended and what else she had learned. How did that map help her at all? He leaned forward on the branch and lost his balance. He fell to the ground just beside the Witch. Calmly she looked up and then back down at the map as if nothing had just happened.
"Are you alright dear?" She asked him distantly as if calling him. Chistery stood up and brushed himself off.
"Yes. I'm fine. " He answered her looking over her shoulder at the map. She didn't move it from his sight or hide it. Just allowed him to see it.
"How do you expect this map to help you?" He asked looking at her face instead. He noticed that her eyes were quickly moving from left to right across the page. Suddenly her eyes stopped at his questions and quickly moved to focus on him.
"Well, I learned that the Emerald City is almost exactly like, actually is exactly the same as New York City." She explained to him turning back to the map.
"So, are you trying to find your way to it?"
"Yes, I am my dear." Elphaba replied scanning the page quickly. Chistery watched the page with her trying to read it, but he couldn't.
"So, what happens next?" Chistery asked walking over in front of her standing in her lap. She lowered the map to glare at him with her penetrating eyes. Then when he didn't leave her alone when she tried to continue, she sighed and finally lowered the map to the ground beside her.
"Alright." She said to the monkey who leaped forward and settled himself more comfortably on her lap. "Where was I?"
"You were on the train." Chistery said excitedly almost leaping in his seat. Elphaba nodded her head slightly as a smile came across her lips. She thought for a second to herself and then looked down at him.
"Right. I fell asleep and slept for most of the trip to New York City."
