A/N: Thanks for the reviews so far. Horrible drabble up ahead, but it seems my muse is pernamently lost.

086. Box of Crayons
Rating: K+

They were an odd group, their circle of friends at Shiz. They were a box of crayons: a rainbow of colours, each of them a different shade. The intricacy and harmony in which their personalities complemented and contrasted each other was indescribable.

However, a box of crayons crumbles when a crayon is lost. Without the essential hue of the missing crayon, the other ones dull; try as one might to blend shades, the exact tint can never be recreated.

Consequently, it was no surprise that their group, their crayon box of friends fell apart when the first crayon vanished: Elphaba.
