Disclaimer: I don't own Sisters Grimm or Wicked.

Look To The Western Sky

I rushed with the Grimmerie to the side and the music came on, the room changing. I bit my lip. I had to do this song justice. This was the song where I could portray what was going to happen to Elphaba, or me or whatever. This was the song where everything started to go bad where she started to become the Wicked Witch. And when I realized that I was going Wicked as well.

FERN:

(Spoken) Elphie! Wait, where are you going? (We walked into the room and I went to the middle)

SABRINA:

(Spoken) No! There are no more stairs!

This must be the attic! (I was freaking out here! I'm freaking out! I'm the incarnation of the Wicked Witch of the West. I have no idea what's up with Daniel! Puck is going to show me something at curtain call! My best friend could be Fern! Why is my life so twisted?)

FERN:

(Spoken) Elphaba, listen to me! (I was ignoring her and freaking out about the many crazy things in my life)

SABRINA:

(Spoken) I have to barricade the door!

I'll use this! (I picked up what would become my broom and placed it over the trapdoor I had just come through. I ran back into the middle and started to pace)

FERN:

(Spoken) What? Elphie!

Elphaba - why couldn't you have stayed calm for once,

Instead of flying off the handle!

(sung) I hope you're happy! (She walked towards me, angry and pointing her finger at me. I actually walked backwards. Glinda and Elphaba's emotions were getting the better of us)

I hope you're happy now

I hope you're happy how you

Hurt your cause forever

I hope you think you're clever (She stormed away and I jabbed a finger at her and walked towards her angry)

SABRINA

(Sung) I hope you're happy

I hope you're happy, too

I hope you're proud how you

Would grovel in submission (I picked up my hands threw them at her in disgust and angry)

To feed your own ambition

BOTH

(Sung) So though I can't imagine how

I hope you're happy right now (Belinda walked from her hidden spot in the balcony and a spotlight shown on her. I glared at her and she looked out at the crowd. Everyone looked at her)

BELINDA

(spoken) Citizens of Oz, there is an enemy that must be found and captured.

Believe nothing she says. She's evil.

Responsible for the mutilation of these…poor innocent monkeys.

Her green skin is but an outward manifestation of her twisted nature. (Fern put a hand to her mouth and I stood there stiffened. I knew exactly what she was going to say. And I had thoroughly accepted by now)

This distortion…this REPULSION.

THIS WICKED WITCH! (As she yelled I cringed only slightly but kept my chin stern. She wasn't going to do anything to me!)

FERN

(spoken) Don't be afraid

SABRINA

(spoken) I'm not.

It's the Wizard who should be afraid. (I was angry. I was full of rage. A murderous rage and I was tricked. Taken advantage of and I was being sought after because of what I knew! It was wrong. It was deceitful. And it called for sweet vengeance)

Of me!

FERN

(spoken) Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry before it's too late. (It's been too late for a while…since he took my parents. And now he has a mini-him? Who did this poor to Elphaba? It's too late…)

(sung) You can still be with the Wizard

What you've worked and waited for

You can have all you ever wanted:

ELPHABA

(spoken) I know:

(sung) But I don't want it – (I sounded as if I were tired and scared and sad. I was…I was too tired to fight him now. I was too scared to go against this. I was too sad now…everything was gone for me. This was supposed to be a show but he had turned into much more. So much more…)

No - I can't want it

Anymore!

Something has changed within me (I started to walk away from her slowly and looked out at the audience. They saw the distress and longing to be free in my face)

Something is not the same

I'm through with playing by the rules

Of someone else's game

Too late for second-guessing (I shook my head and looked at Fern, sadly. She was standing firm by her decision and so was I. But like she said, it's no too late until it's curtain call. I wouldn't let her turn out like Glinda did, a puppet. A figurehead…no! Never…)

Too late to go back to sleep

It's time to trust my instincts

Close my eyes: and leap!

It's time to try (I lifted my hands and held them towards the ceiling)

Defying gravity

I think I'll try

Defying gravity

And you can't pull me down! (I lowered my hands so they were right in front of my face. Fern grabbed my arm and looked at me, pleadingly)

FERN

Can't I make you understand? (She grabbed my shoulder and she shook me, slightly. I looked at her, unchanging)

You're having delusions of grandeur: (I grabbed her forearms and pulled away from her)

SABRINA

I'm through accepting limits (Everyone in the audience knew I wasn't giving it my all…yet. It was close but they knew I was building until I get to the great part. If they thought I was good before they hadn't heard anything…yet.)

''cause someone says they're so

Some things I cannot change

But till I try, I'll never know! (I went louder and they looked in surprised. When I say 'they' that meant the representatives. Who knew that a little 17-year-old could sound good? Wait until they hear Daphne in her scene. She sounded amazing!)

Too long I've been afraid of

Losing love I guess I've lost

Well, if that's love

It comes at much too high a cost! (Every Everafter and my parents knew who I was talking about…was it really worth it? Loving Puck? I loved him with my whole heart but what if what he wanted to do at the end wouldn't be helping me. But then part of me was Elphaba, thinking about Fiyero)

I'd sooner buy

Defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye (I went as high as I possibly could. The representatives raised their eyebrows at my range. They had already heard Fern pull of the Cheno note. What else did they want?)

I'm defying gravity

And you can't pull me down: (I spun in a circle, my long black hair swinging with me. The music got faster)

OZIAN SOLDIER

Open this door!

In the name of the supreme Ozness! (I stiffened and walked away. Fern checked on the trapdoor as there was banging from underneath it. I got on the floor and whipped out the Grimmerie)

SABRINA

(spoken) Ah may, ah tay, ah tum, ah ditum (I started chanting and I put all my magic behind it. Everyone stiffened at the familiar feel of magic. It was scaring me, the amount of magic that had been building in result of my fury)

FERN

(spoken) What are you doing? Stop it!

That's what—started this all in the first place.

That hideous levitation spell. (I kept chanting the entire time that she was speaking. Not stopping. I had to repeat the spell so I could get a permanent levitation spell. So in the Hall of Wonders we would have the Wicked Witch…I mean Elphaba Thropp's broom and her successor, my broom.)

Stop! (I stopped and waited, to see if the spell worked. Fern cringed at my abrupt stop. She looked at me, spying away)

Well where are your wings?

Maybe you're not as powerful as you think you were.

(We both know she didn't believe that. I could read from the Grimmerie as if I were born speaking it. I could command people with a single Latin word. We both knew me and my sister were the most powerful people in all of Ferryport Landing besides Elphaba, Glinda and Fern herself. The music started up and I turned, slowly)

Sweet Oz! (She walked slowly backwards as the broom lifted in the air

SABRINA

(spoken) Oooh! Glinda, I tell you. (I grabbed the broom and brought it back to where Fern was)

Quick get on! (I held it out towards her and she looked at it as if it were poison. I looked at her in disbelief and betrayal. She was walking the same road as Glinda. I know it wasn't fair to judge her. She was the following the script. But honestly, we both knew she could come up with rest of the play in her head with made up lines. She was a drama queen. She could do it but…she chose not to)

FERN

(spoken) What? (She looked at me in surprise and disbelief as if she couldn't believe I'd even invite her. As if I didn't know her well enough to know that she'd…stay)

SABRINA

(spoken)Come with me. Think of what we could

do: together.

(sung) Unlimited

Together we're unlimited (Together maybe but…separate? I'm limited but maybe not Fern)

Together we'll be the greatest team

There's ever been (Fern came to stand with me as if she were thinking about coming…)

Glinda -

Dreams, the way we planned 'em

FERN

If we work in tandem: (She grabbed onto the broomstick as well and smiled at me, as if thinking about what could happen if she did go)

BOTH

There's no fight we cannot win (We looked out towards the audience and they smiled. They actually thought this was going to work…that she'd stay by my side so we could help Oz. She would help Oz in the end and I'd always be labeled as Wicked)

Just you and I

Defying gravity

With you and I

Defying gravity

SABRINA

They'll never bring us down!

(spoken) Well? Are you coming? (I shook with nervous, cold, and I shakily put the Grimmerie in my bag. It'd never be left from me ever again. Not ever! This was my book?)

FERN

(spoken) Elphie…you're trembling.

Here. (She put the cloak around me and I wrapped it around me tightly. It was really cool on stage to keep Fern's wig from sticking to her head. She likes the wigs. She had told Belinda that she wanted to keep them…)

(sung) I hope you're happy

Now that you're choosing this

SABRINA

(spoken) You too

(sung) I hope it brings you bliss

BOTH

I really hope you get it (I was starting to put my all in and Fern matched my skill. We both knew that I was going to save my throat busting note for the end)

And you don't live to regret it

I hope you're happy in the end

I hope you're happy, my friend:

(I ran into the darkness and got onto the lift. I had a reason I wouldn't need it. The music got louder)

FERN

(spoken) Elphie, wait!

(The soldiers ran in quickly and took pointed their spears at Fern. I watched in horror and had to keep them from turning my best friend into a kebab)

OZIAN SOLDIER

(spoken) Don't let her get away

FERN

(spoken) Wait…she's not!

What are you doing?

(They had grabbed Fern. I didn't even bother strapping myself into the )

SABRINA

(spoken) Wait! She had nothing to do with it! (I pointed my broom at them and yelled at them as they surrounded me)

It's me! It's meeeeeeee! (I was suddenly rising on the lift without being strapped in. Fern and the soldiers noticed and stared. I was about to put my all into it. And then I started my epic singing…the one where I had to drink a gallon of water after)

(sung) So if you care to find me

Look to the western sky!

As someone told me lately:

"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"

And if I'm flying solo (I moved my hand across pointing at the audience and they stared in awe. I hadn't even gotten to the best part yet!)

At least I'm flying free

To those who'd ground me

Take a message back from me

Tell them how I am

Defying gravity

I'm flying high (I amplified my voice until it could be heard as if I were right next to everyone)

Defying gravity

And soon I'll match them in renown (I started to quiet down now and everyone thought it was over. Well they didn't know what was coming. The representatives nodded as if they were expecting me to crack since they could tell I was a little winded)

And nobody in all of Oz

No Wizard that there is or was (I took the deepest breath I had ever taken and sang as loudly as possible)

Is ever gonna bring me dooooooooooooooooooooooown! (I grabbed hold of my broom with both hands and sang my heart out. My eyes were closed from the effort to do my best and all I heard was a poor note

FERN

I hope you're happy! (She sang this while I was singing the last note and she looked at me in anger and sadness)

OZIAN SOLDIERS

Look at her, she's wicked! (They also sang this while I was still holding the last note. Surprisingly, I wasn't getting really winded. The representatives looked at me impressed. They sang that and they were good)

Get her!

SABRINA

Bring me dooooooooooown! (I took a shallow breath and sang this. It was easier than the last note. It was shorter that is)

OZIAN SOLDIERS

No one mourns the wicked

So we've got to bring her (They sang this while I sang and they glared at me as if I were really wicked. And I guess I was to an extent. I sensed Elphaba's approving)

SABRINA

Ohhhhhhhhh! (I lifted my broom hand and held my other hand out in front of me as the lights moved all over the place over me)

OZIAN SOLDIERS

Down! (We were ending and I lifted my hand with the broom, pounding my hand up before it went dark)

I went down as there was immense applause. I had 15 minutes. I flew down and saw Puck. He rushed over to me and kissed my full on the mouth. I looked at him in surprise.

"That was better than the first and second time you sang that song together! Fern you did amazing!" Puck said, smiling. I smiled at her and we bumped fists. Puck stared in shock.

"I give you my blessing but I'm not giving up" Fern said, quietly. Puck smiled and shook his head.

"You're like a sister, Fern. You can keep trying but…you won't win" he said. He was dressed in his Captain of the Guard costume and I took Fern's hand.

"Let's go! My dress takes forever to put on and so does yours!" I reminded her. We ran to the dressing room and Daphne was smiling at me. She wore her black dress and was sitting in the fancy chair.

"You finally got something right" Daphne whispered. I looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"It's a miracle isn't it?"
