Rogue and Kitty walked onstage after the scene changed. The lights were now centered on the two of them and a cart wasn't very far away with various items on it. Kitty followed Rogue in frustration. "Elphie, wait! Where are you going?" she asked while stopping.
Rogue frantically looked around. "Oh, no! There are no more stairs. This might be the attic."
"Elphaba, listen to me..." Kitty started.
Rogue ignores her and grabs a broom. "I have to baracade the door!" she said as she placed the broom offstage a bit.
Kitty let out a frustrated sigh before saying, "Elphaba, why couldn't you have stayed calm for once instead of flying off the handle? I hope you're happy! I hope you're happy now! I hope you're happy how you've hurt your cause forever. I hope you think your clever!"
Rogue turned to her in anger. She had a strong glare on her face. "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!"
"So though I can't imagine how, I hope your happy. Right...now!"
Storm was moved to the side of the side. The FAR side, away from the girls as she mde an announcement. "Citizens of Oz, there is an enemy who must be found and captured! Believe nothing she says. She's evil. Responsible for the mutilation of these poor, inocent monkeys! Her green skin is but an outward manifestation of her twisted nature! This distortion...this repulsion...this...WICKED WITCH!"
She then is moved back as Rogue's and Kitty's eyes widen in fright. Rogue is clinging to the cart's pole with her left hand while Kitty holds her other hand. "Don't be afraid." Kitty said which caused a small laugh to erupt from the audience.
"I'm not..." she said which caused more laughter. "...It's the Wizard who should be afraid...of me!"
She let go of Kitty's hand and started moving away from the cart. "Elphie, just say you're sorry...before it's too late." Kitty said as she turned Rogue to her. "You can still be with the Wizard. What you've worked and waited for. You can have all you ever wanted..." she sang softly.
"I know..." Rogue said before shaking her head. "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!" she sang as she moved away from Kitty and further downstage.
Her eyes were closed before she sang "leap" and you could tell she was actually part of the music. The words. The meaning. This was her song. "It's time to tryyyy defying gravity! I think I'll try defying gravity...and you can't pull me down."
Kitty quickly turned her towards her again and grabbed her shoulders. "Can't I make you understand you're having delusions of grandure?"
Rogue moved her away and walked down-center stage. "I'm through excepting limits because 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'd 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!"
The guards started banging on the locked door and Kitty looked at it frantically. "Open this door in the name of his supreme Ozness!" Scott shouted.
Rogue glared at the door before kneeling to the ground and opening the door to the levitation spell. "AH MAY AH TAY AH TUM DITM..."
Rogue continued chanting and looking at the broom as Kitty stared at her with disbelief. "What are you doing? Stop it! That's what started all of this in the first place...that hideous levitation spell! STOP!"
Rogue froze and looked up. She was waiting for the spell to work, but Kitty had other ideas. "Well...where are your wings? Maybe you aren't as powerful as you think you are." she said with a slightly noticeable tone in her voice.
The broomstick that was suppose to be holding the guards back was now floating across the stage and towards them. Rogue got up and put the Grimmerie in her satchel while also grabbing the broom in excitement. Kitty looked at it with wide eyes while Rogue was just proud. "I told you, Glinda...I did it, I tell ya!"
The guards continued banging on the door once again and Kitty flinched as Rogue moved to center stage. Kitty turned to her. "Quick! Get on!" Rogue told her while holding the broom up, but almost looking like she was having a hard time controling it. In reality...she was.
Kitty's face had gone to excitement and proudness from shock. "What?" she asked while taking a step back. She didn't want to get on that flying death trap.
"Come with me...Think of what we can do...together. Unlimited, together we're unlimited. Together we'll be the greatest team there's ever been, Glinda. Dreams the way we planned 'em..."
Kitty took a small step forward and lightly touched the broom. "If we work in tandem..." she sang as she held onto it as well.
"Just you and I defying gravity! With you and I DEFYING gravity!"
Rogue shook her head with a small smile on her face. "They'll never bring us down! Well? Are you coming?"
Kitty looked at her with pain in her eyes. She noticed Rogue trembling, she was so frightened and said, "Elphie...you're trembling."
She looked around before walking to the cart and picking up a black cape. Walking over to Rogue, Kitty put it on her. "Here, put this on." she said before pulling back. "I hope you're happy now that you're choosing this."
Rogue looked at her with sadness. "I hope it brings you bliss. 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!"
Kitty let go of the broom as Rogue backed away into the darkness. The guards finally broke down the door and hurried inside. She turned to them as they shouted, "There she is! Don't let her get away!"
Piotr and Lance each grabbed one of her arms before she started struggling with his grip. "What in Oz! Let go of me! Do you hear me? Let go!" she shouted while Blod, David, and Pietro looked around for anyone else.
Rogue's green face seemed to stand out as she took a step forward and held out her broom handle like a weapon. "It's not her! She has NOTHING to do with it! It's me. Hahaha! It's me!"
She started rising into the air as green, fractured, crystal lights shined behind her with mist. Some purple dye seemed to be mixed in with the mist while the lift rose her so high she could've been mistaken for flying. Which, to a majority of the audience, she was. "SO IF YOU CARE TO FIND ME, LOOK TO THE WESTERN SKY! AS SOMEONE TOLD ME LATELY, EVERYONE DESERVES A CHANCE TO FLY! AND IF I'M FLYING SOLO, ATLEAST I'M FLYING FREE! TO THOSE WHO 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."
Rogue was singing so strongely that people back stage stared at her with wide eyes. Her eyes seemed to be filled with strength, intensity, and...unlimitedness. As she pointed the handle of her broom at the crowd she sang, but her voice seemed more like it was speaking. She was powerful and knew what was inbetween the lines. "And nobody in all of Oz...no Wizard that there is or was...is ever going to BRING ME DOWN!"
Several Ozians, Laura, Sam, Alex, Rahne, Roberto, and Emma hurried onstage and looked up at Rogue while pointing at her. Kitty was at the far corner of downstage right and looking at Rogue while she sang, "I hope you're happy!"
The Ozians glared at Rogue while singing, "LOOK AT HER, SHE'S WICKED! GET HER!"
"BRING ME DOWN!"
"No one mourns the wicked! So we've got to BRING HER..." the Ozians continued to sing.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Rogue sang as the others sang, "DOWN!"
The lights immediately dropped to where the stage was black. The audience lights dimmed before shining and letting the people see their way out.
Act 1 had been finished.
