Mikayla froze in shock looking over Nicole. "No..." she whispered shaking her head, pushing a piece of blonde hair off the girl's face. "No... Nicole... this can't be happening. You can't go! Nicole!!" she said finally breaking down into silent tears.
"Nicole!!" Tiana exclaimed tripping over Kerry as she finally got over to her friend, kneeling down next to her body. "No!!" she cried out looking for a pulse. "No! Nicole! Don't you DARE be dead! Or else..." she trailed off, suddenly very quiet. "You can't leave us Nicki..." she said shaking her head.
"I didn't," Nicole's voice said, in a very confused, but kind of smug way.
Tiana's head shot up, as did everybody else's looking around for the source of the voice, seeing as how her body hadn't moved, and there was definitely not a pulse.
"Nicki?" Mikayla said, looking up slowly from Chelsea's hug, her eyes still very red from crying.
Nicki examined herself quickly, but then looked over to Mikayla. "Why so serious?"
Then her jaw dropped to the floor. "Oh. My. God." was all she could manage before fainting into a shocked Chelsea.
"Miki? Miki?" she said floating done from mid-air, bringing gasps and "Omigod's" from everyone. She hovered over Chelsea, frozen from shock, holding an unconcious Mikayla looking worried, but then her expression brightened. "Hey! Do you think if I float through her she'll wake up?"
"OMIGOD! NICOLE!" Tiana exclaimed running over to her friend, but ended up running right through her. She turned around, and looked at Nicole, with a perplexed face, but burst out laughing. "This is awesome!" she said grinning at her friend who burst out laughing.
"Whoaa..." Nicole said looking in the direction of her body. "My body is..." she paused. "My body. Awesome..." she finished with a short laugh, and then examined herself. "I'm a ghost." she stated, but then looked up at grinned. "This is freaking amazing!" She glanced over at Mikayla again. "Um, someone seriously needs to wake that girl up." she said trying to poke her.
"Um, Nicole?" Chelsea said slowly, obviously still not sure what to think, "I don't think that's going to work sweetheart," she said while adjusting Mikayla to keep her arm from falling asleep.
"How about we get a bucket of water?" Kaylee said walking up with one in hand. Where she got it from, no one knew, but none the less, she had it. And before anyone could say anything she threw it, soaking both Mikayla and Chelsea.
Mikayla coughed and opened her eyes, "KAYLEE!" she exclaimed but then looked up and saw Nicole. "Oh hey Nicki!" she said and started to get up, but stopped dead in her tracks. "NICKI?" she asked whipping her head around. "Omigod!" she exclaimed. "NICKI!"
Tiana laughed, "You should totally make up a song now Miki!"
"Oh. My. God. Omigod you guys!
Looks like we just got a big surprise.
Nicki turned into a ghost so she really didn't die.
Omigod you guys!
Oh. My. God is this happening?
Now no one should be crying.
If there ever a happiest moment, this sure qualifies.
Omigod you guys!" Mikayla sang, not even missing a beat after Tiana.
Kaylee high-fived Mikayla but then things turned serious again.
"We kind of have to get out of here." Stephanie said looking around. "Before more guards come, you know? I don't think we want any more of us getting hurt." she looked at Nicole. "No matter what the outcome," but she smiled at the girl turned ghost.
Elphaba nodded, and quickly turned to Dorothy who was STILL frozen in shock and knocked her unconciouss, and took the shoes right off her feet, muttering something under her breath. She stood up again, and in a poof of green smoke they were gone just as they could see another round of guards rounding the corner.

When they all got back to Kiamo Ko, Tin Man, Nessa and Nicki included, they were greeted by Ana who rushed downstairs with Liir. "Is everyone okay? What happened and... Omigod," she finished looking at Nicole with a look of... well you guessed it... shock.
"Hey there!" Nicole said grinning, "Isn't this awesome?" she asked laughing.
"Dorothy... um killed her." Elphaba said, even her not quite making sense of the situation yet, "And well... I guess death couldn't take her." she said smiling.
"This is SO Nicole worthy." Mikayla said handing Chelsea a towel while grabbing one for herself, and giving Kaylee a quite glare, but then her expression changed and she ran out the room with Tiana, coming back a minute later with a dead fish each, and they both started whacking Taye on the head. "This." whack "Is for." another whack "Not protecting Idina!" And yet another whack from both of them "Well, and because Nicole told me to," Mikayla added grinning.
Nicole laughed, for awhile along with everyone else but then got serious again. "So... Elphaba," she said addressing the green witch. "I'm wondering... what happens to me... like when we go back to Earth. I mean... I'm alive." she said gesturing to herself. "But I'm not," she then gestured to her physical body which they had laid on the table.
"I really don't know Nicole," Elphaba said in all honestly. "I've never been faced with this situation before. But I will try and find out what will happen. And if there is any way to get you well... back in yourself." she said with a sincerity that you would have never expected from her.

"Elphaba," Fiyero said quietly, trying to get her attention without alerting the others.
"Hmmm?" Elphaba turned towards Fiyero, looking him in the eye.
"We need to talk," Fiyero remained quiet and serious as he motioned towards the nearby empty room. Elphaba followed Fiyero into the next room, and he quickly turned to face her.
"Are you insane?!" Fiyero asked half-angrily, causing Elphaba to shrink back slightly. "What possessed you to do that?! Running off and not telling anyone?! Going off by yourself right after giving birth?! What were you thinking?!"
Elphaba figured there would be some kind of backlash for her unannounced departure, but didn't expect this kind of emotion from Fiyero. "I'm sorry," Elphaba said quietly, afraid to look Fiyero in the eye, "I've just caused so much trouble already, I thought you would all be safer without me! Especially Liir, he's just a baby, he has no way of protecting himself! The further he is from me, the better…"
Hearing Elphaba talk that way made Fiyero calm down a bit, and lightly grabbed Elphaba's arms so they would have to make eye contact. "Elphaba, listen to me," he said sternly, "we're a family now. You, me, and Liir. You can't go running off, leaving me and Liir behind. We're a family, and we'll make decisions together. And as Liir's father, I know he belongs with his mother! I couldn't do this without you Elphaba…" Fiyero's voice got quiet and trailed off, and Elphaba could see him getting emotional. Feeling terrible for leaving, Elphaba pulled him in for a long hug, not wanting to let go.
"I couldn't do this without you Elphaba," he repeated while trying to hold back tears, "I need you…"
"Shhh," Elphaba said, soothing Fiyero. "I'm not going to go anywhere, EVER again. It'll always be you, me, and Liir." The couple kissed for a moment, enjoying a moment of peace and quiet without interruption from everyone else.
Although things were quiet in the nook where Elphaba and Fiyero were talking, the same could not be said for the dining room where everyone was gossiping loudly. However, trying to remain level-headed, Glinda, Stephanie, and Tiana decided to meet alone as the trio tried to sort things out. However, chaos was even starting to ensue within their own ranks.
"Okay, so what's the plan now?" Tiana asked anxiously as she stared at Glinda.
"Why are you looking at me?!" Glinda asked somewhat angrily, the hormones from her pregnancy clearly affecting her mood, "It's not my job to come up with all the ideas!"
"Hey, there's no need to talk to me like that!" Tiana countered with an equal amount of frustration.
"Oh stop it!" Stephanie sighed, throwing her arms up in the air as she glared at Tiana. "Glinda is pregnant, she can't get stressed like this! And she's hormonal, you just need to deal with it! Why don't you do something helpful and get your friends to keep it down, because goodness knows they never shut up!"
Tiana was surprised by Stephanie anger, but found herself getting defensive, "Hey, at least my group is TRYING to do something productive! What has your group been doing all this time?!"
"My group has done plenty!" Stephanie countered, but couldn't quickly think of a good example.
"Yeah, real helpful," Glinda sniggered in response to the silence, earning her a glare from Stephanie.
"Hey, we never asked to come here in the first place! This is your life Glinda, yours and Elphaba's. And these kids, for whatever reason, volunteered for this! We never wanted to be taken from our homes to come live out here!" Stephanie was truly upset now, remembering how much she missed Sebastian and her friends.
"Well there's the door!" Tiana was really upset now, sick of being talked down to by the others. "No one's making you stay! If you don't want to be here, then go!"
"Fine!" Stephanie yelled, then went over to the other actresses. "We're going," she said simply, moving towards the door. Although the actresses mumbled in confusion, they followed their leader out the door.
Tiana watched smugly as the actresses walked out the door, but quickly caught the angry stare from Glinda. "What?" she asked, still angry.
"You and your friends can feel free to leave to."
"Excuse me?!" Tiana asked incredulously.
"You heard me. You're all too loud, it's just making things worse."
Tiana was hurt by the insult, especially because she had been working so hard to help, but was too angry and proud to stay and put up with this. "Guys, let's go," Tiana said to her friends, moving towards the same door the actresses had just left from.
"Umm, can I go with Kerry?" Elise asked quietly.
"And do we get to bring my body?" Nicole asked jokingly.
"I said we're going!" Tiana repeated with frustration, walking out the door. Slowly, the others followed her out the door, Allen and Kaylee helping to carry Nicole's body with them. A few members considered staying behind, but the cold look they received from Glinda only convinced them that they had worn out their welcome.
Just as the large front door swung shut, Elphaba and Fiyero emerged from the small room in which they had been talking.
"Glinda, where'd everyone go?" Elphaba asked inquisitively.
"Who?" Glinda asked as if she had no idea what Elphaba was talking about.
"Oh I don't know, how about the thirty-something people that were here just a minute ago…" Elphaba replied sarcastically.
"Ummm…they went for a walk?" Glinda offered innocently, but Elphaba clearly wasn't buying it. "They're gone Elphaba, and I say good riddance! Those kids were SO annoying, and those actresses weren't helping anyway. So they're gone."
Elphaba and Fiyero exchanged nervous glances, wondering what had caused such a sudden rift.

Allen and Holli were carrying Nicole's dead body. All Holli and Allen could think was "Ew ew ew ew ew ew ewwwwwww!" As it was still all in blood. They dropped the body in the hall, and Nicole got pissed off and slapped the back of Allen's head...except it went right through it.
"ooooo...cold!" Said Allen, shivering from the ghost hand.
"Oh there's nothing in there anyway" snickered Nicole, giving Allen a dirty look. "PICK UP MY BODY DAM.N IT!" yelled the ghostly Nicole. She scared the crap out of everyone in the hall, making all the actresses and everyone turn around.
"hmmmm" thought Nicole. She had seen the movie GHOST with Whoopi Goldberg and Demi Moore, and she remembered that Patrick Swayze could go into other peoples bodies. So Nicole fly right into Allen's body, and no one saw what happened.
"Um, Allen? Buddy? Are you alright?" asked Tianna who just got called by Holli to come over, as Allen was just standing there with a demented look.
Suddenly Allen apreared to look normal.
"Hu? Oh...um, yeah I'm fine. Tiana, did I ever mention that you look hott? I think Nicole is the hottest in our group, I mean look at her body right there, just GORGEOUS!" said Allen in a very flamboyant way.
Holli and Tianna just stared with their mouths wide open, in shock.
Allen skipped along the hall towards the Elphaba actresses. This is too funny thought Nicole. Allen started to hop around on one leg and singing Popular. He started spinning and doing giant leeps into the air. Allen came over to Megan and gave her a huge hug.
"You're soooo pretty Megan!"
"Um, thanks sweety, can you let go now, i can't breathe..." said Megan with a nervouse look, the other Elphabas laughing, SJB rolling her eyes.
"No. I won't. I love you! MARRY ME MEGAN! MARRY ME!" yelled Allen at the top of his lungs.
In the other room, Glinda looked at Elphaba, and said "SEE WHAT I MEAN? That's so annoying! Although that sounded like Allen, he's not normally like that! He's usually the nicest and calmest of the WoO kids"
"Allen, get off of me. NOW!" said Megan, pushing him away.
"FINE!" yelled Allen, running towards Eden, hugging her and yelling "YOU'RE SEXY! SEXYYYYYYYY!"
Teal came over pulling Allen away while giving off a nervous laugh. Allen turned to Teal and said "Teal...you make me feel WICKED!" and Allen started to sing As Long as Your Mine to Teal. Tianna and Holli were still staring at Allen in shock, not moving.
GET OUT OF MEEEEEE! thought Allen, now taking over, and giving a huge yell of pain, and right out of him came a flying Nicole, zooming out of control towards a wall, while Allen and Teal were thrusted backwords.
"EWWWWW!" yelled Allen, getting up, dusting himself off, and shivering in disgust. He helped Teal up, looked around and spotted Nicole, trying to hide herself behind SJB, who just moved over to show Nicole.
"DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN! Are you INSANE?! I don't want a girl to be inside of ME! That's not how it woooorks!" yelled Allen, and with that all the actresses started to laugh. He came over to Megan and Eden and apoligized and they of course forgave him, and were still laughing, and Allen joined in.
Holli and Tianna came over and gave Allen a hug, and started cussing at Nicole, who was laughing but was embarresed.
"Real mature" said Holli, rolling her eyes.
"One more of these moves and we'll feed your body to the Wizard!"
"Oh Glinda, geez, go bring them back, AND APOLIGIZE!" said Elphaba
"Are you kidding me? Elphaba I said- sigh you're right, i'm sorry, i'm just moody. Fiyero, can you go get them?" said Glinda, and Fiyero nodded, running off to the hall.
They were all still laughing, Allen still pissed at Nicole but now laughing about it and Nicole was forgiven. Fiyero asked for them to go back into the main room where Glinda and Elphaba were and they all happily went back.
"Being here in Oz has been one heck of an experience!" said Allen in a cheerful way.
