Madame Morrible frowns slightly when he brushes her off so easily like that. With a dangerous smile, she walks behind him and gently rests a hand on his shoulder. "The Wizard is very busy right now, besides anything you say in front of him will be heard by me as well. Why don't you just tell me about one way to trap the rebels here?"
Her voice is almost a purr as she speaks lowly to Dr. Drakken. There is a reason that she practically runs Oz through the Wizard. She is a mistress at manipulating the weak minded. She almost had control of Elphaba back at Shiz, but the Wizard just couldn't keep his mouth shut and had to brag about what they were going to use the monkeys for once they had their wings. The old fool caused this rebellion, now she had to clean up this mess using whatever means necessary. Perhaps if this blue man proved valuable she might just replace the old fool for someone easier to control.
Dr. Drakken really doesn't know how to react to this woman standing so close to him and speaking to him like this. It all seemed rather inappropriate, but her words did actually make some sense. When he listened to her soothing voice, Drakken began to relax into his chair. Sighing he waves his hand, "All right, I guess I could think up a master plan for you. Tell me a little about your rebel."

After some lengthy conversations, they had formulated a plan to scope out what was going on. Chistrey was going to sneak Elphaba and Shego into a little listening nook in the ceiling of the main audience chamber. Glinda would return and suggest that they make an announcement for a festival of some sort. Hopefully, Morrible might give away that something more important than a festival will be occurring.
Elphaba still didn't like this plan, but it seemed like the best way to find out any information without arousing too much suspicion from the old hag. Elphaba looked forward to the day that they finally exposed her as the evil witch she really is.
Chistrey looks out the window at the sun, "It is getting late, we should leave now Miss Elphaba."
Elphaba nods in agreement, "Alright then, let's go." Chistrey and the scout walk out of the cabin first followed by Shego. Elphaba pulls Glinda into a tight hug and whispers in her ear, "Be careful." Releasing Glinda, Elphaba summons her broom and hops on.
Glinda returned the sudden hug and nodded her head, "I will Elphie." She is the last one out of the cabin. As soon as she is outside, she looks over the group before activating her bubble and heading towards the Emerald city. She is to enter from the southern end to distract anyone from the rest of the groups entrance from the north.
With a soft grumble Shego climbs onto the broom behind Elphaba, "You really should think about putting some seats on this thing."
Elphaba chuckles softly, "I never thought of that before. Although my dress gives me a bit more cushioning than what you are wearing." She watches Glinda float off and nods to Chistrey, "Let's go."
With a nod Chistrey and Elphaba begin to fly quickly towards the Emerald City. They dart high into the sky above the clouds. Morrible doesn't have any spies that can wait up here; nothing loyal to that old hag can fly this high.

Madame Morrible has a confident smile on her face as she goes to sit in the 'Wizard's' chair. The blue man is currently in the laboratory concocting some machine that will trap that mischievous Elphaba. She could just feel victory in her grasp and couldn't wait to get that green tart out of her way.

Chistrey, Shego, and Elphaba got into the castle easily and undetected. They could see Glinda's bubble floating lazily up towards the castle and the crowd cheering in the street at her entrance. They made themselves comfortable in the rafters of the viewing room. Elphaba spotted Morrible looking awfully smug and glared at her. She wanted to wipe that smile off her evil face, but she needed to wait for the right moment.

Glinda waved at the cheering crowd as she re-entered the city. She landed on the top of the steps to the Wizards castle. Deactivating her bubble, she waves at the crowd one last time before entering the large castle.
She has a bright smile on her face as she walks into the viewing room. She spots Morrible and walks towards the awful woman. Curtseying to her, "Madame Morrible, I have some disturbing news."
Madame Morrible hears the perky blonde's entrance and stands from the chair slowly. She nods to Glinda, disturbing news? What on earth could she have discovered that was disturbing. "By all means my dear, tell me what this disturbing news is?"
Sanding back upright Glinda looks genuinely horrified by the information she is about to tell Madame Morrible, "I fear that the citizens of Oz are overly disturbafied by the wicked works of the wicked witch! I spotted many fair Ozians wearing ghastly things! I think we need a festival to take their minds off of the wicked one. Otherwise I fear that many Ozians will forget how to dress fashionably."
Madame Morrible just shakes her head as she sighs softly. Of course Glinda would be worried about fashion in a time like this. She recalled that the young woman came to Shiz University with what seemed like hundreds of trunks filled with clothes and shoes. She places a comforting hand on Glinda's shoulder. "My dear Glinda, I think that you have made a good point. The citizens of Oz do need something to celebrate. In fact, I'm going to let you in on a little secret."
She drops her voice down to a whisper, "The Wizard is planning a big surprise for the Wicked Witch right now. Soon, she will be captured and all of Oz will be able to celebrate the joyous occasion. "
Glinda smiled as her eyes widened, "That is wonderful news indeed! When will this joyous festival begin?" Glinda's stomach began to do flips as the meaning behind those words hit her. They were setting a trap for Elphie…this was not good at all.
Morrible chuckles as she shakes her head, "Why don't you go off and begin planning the festivities my dear. I will let you know in due time when the festival of the Wicked Witch's capture will begin."
