A/N: A shout out to my anonymous guest! Things are about to get a little more complicated... Thanks so much for reading!

Epilogue

"Chistery! You're back!" Elphaba was happy to see her friend as he landed in the Palace's courtyard. The Flying Monkeys had arrived back with Lieutenant Zetti and Private Schultz and a few others. They had been gone for three days and the green woman was starting to get nervous.

"Miss Elphaba it is good to see you. What happened here?" He asked, noting that everyone was still living out of tents and that the front gate had obviously been repaired.

"It's a long story. Is everyone ok?" She wanted to know.

"Yes, but we have two stowaways that refused to stay with our friends," the Flying Monkey explained. The gate had opened and in came Zetti and Schultz with the stowaways. Elphaba looked at her friend and Chistery just shrugged. As far as they knew, no one here would realize that the two had once been guests of Southstairs.

"Miss Elphaba!" Zetti smiled and pulled his horse up to her. He quickly handed Mopsi off to Chistery, who helped the Munchkin down.

"Lieutenant, it is good to see you. I see you brought company," she said.

"Those two wouldn't take 'no' for an answer," he explained.

"We had to check on you Miss Elphaba," Mopsi spoke up. Popsi had been helped off of Private Schultz's horse.

"I would never ask you to put yourselves in danger," she kept her tone low.

"We have come of our own accord. Word had spread of Morrible's death and your clearing. Our concerns seem to be well founded as evidenced by the recent gate work," Mopsi said.

"Glad to see everyone is home safe," Fiyero walked up to them, having just met with the Council. The members were just behind him to inspect the gate repair.

"Mopsi is that you? Popsi?" Arif's jaw dropped.

"Arif?" Mopsi's own jaw dropped and Popsi looked like he was going to be sick. They had no idea that there would be another Munchkin there.

"You three…" Elphaba was now even more confused. She did not know the Munchkins' full past and now this added a whole new level of mystery.

"Miss Elphaba, how do you know Mopsi and Popsi?" Arif asked.

"It's a long story," she said.

"We've got the time," Arif told her.

The End

The next story will be coming next week. We'll find out more about our Munchkin friends then. ;) Thanks for reading!
