"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute," said Fiyero, grabbing Elphaba by the
arm. "Why on earth are you running away from your best friend again? I
didn't quite catch what you said the first time, oh wait."
"Fiyero, this is no time to be a smart-aleck. Now let me go," retorted Elphaba as she attempted to wrench her arm free.
"Fine, we'll go. I'll hold the broom while you grab your suitcase."
"Thank you for understanding," said Elphaba as she turned around to pick up her suitcase. In an instant Fiyero darted out of the room, shutting the door, and sticking the broom in the door handle.
"I hope that holds for a little while," he thought to himself as he whistled down the stairs.
"Fiyero! I will make all your hair fall out and set all your toenails growing inward if you do not let me out this instant!" roared Elphaba as she furiously tugged on the door.

"Elphie, if you don't open this door right this instant, Oz help me I will..." shouted Glinda right before she paused momentarily from her incessant pounding and shouting to think what would she do. "Oz help me I will blast this door down with my magic wand!" she finished knowing fully well that she couldn't perform even the slightest bit of magic. She attempted to anyway. "Abracadabra, zip, zop, zoom! Send this door down with a very loud boom!" she chanted, waving her elaborate but useless wand around. "Oh, Elphie...just let me in," she said softly. Just then a loud boom occurred, causing Glinda to jump. The door was no longer in view. Instead of it stood a person.
"Fiyero? Well, I wasn't expecting to summon you here when I blasted the door down," she said.
"Glinda, you didn't blast the door down. I slammed it open.
"Oh, well, I still wasn't expecting to see you here when it opened. Where's Elphie?
"She's indisposed of at the moment.
"Nonsense. I just saw her a moment ago. I intend to give her an earful when I see her. You'd think I was the entire former Gale Force coming to arrest her by the way she looked and slammed the door in my face! Now be a dear and fetch my bags will you?" said Glinda sweeping by gracefully.
"Elphie? Elphaba where are you? I demand you show yourself immediately!" shouted Glinda into the vast empty hallway. A loud banging at the top of the stairs answered her.
"Honestly, she expects me to come to her. Either that or she's gotten herself into some kind of trouble again," thought Glinda indignantly as she ascended the stairs. She wasn't long in finding the room where Elphaba was locked.
"Just as I predicted. By some ridiculous means she's gone and gotten herself locked in her room!"said Glinda as she approached the rattling door. "Why in Oz is there a broom stuck through the door handle?" wondered Glinda as she removed the broom.
"FIYERO!" screeched Elphaba as she leapt on top of Glinda and suceeded in tackling her to the ground.
"ELPHABA!" shrieked a high pitched voice which was not Fiyero's. Elphaba slowly backed off and allowed her victim to breathe.
"Glinda?" she asked in disbelief.
"Well, Miss Elphaba! I must say it's been a sight to see you. First you slam the door in my face, and then you turn around and attack me! Shall you turn me into a toad next?" retorted Glinda haughtily as she stood up to smooth the wrinkles out of her dress.
"What are you doing here Glinda?
"Isn't it obvious? I came to visit, and bring you back home.
"I am at home.
"Really? Well, I err...do like what you've done with the place; the sense of color is...
"Overwhelming?
"Yes, exactly. Gray really does wonders for your complexion you know. You really stand out in it.
"Well it always was my dream to own a home that didn't clash with my skin tone.
"Don't start that with me Elphie!
"Go home Glinda." said Elphaba icily. She turned around and went back into her room leaving Glinda in a state of shock. Glinda could hear the lock click in place. Glinda numbly started down the stairs. She had only gone a few steps when she couldn't contain herself any longer. She sat down and burst into tears.

AN: Wow, talk about drama! I promise you all that this is NOT how things are gonna end or stay for that matter. I'm a fan of happy endings too, that's why I'm writing based on the musical not the book. All will be explained in the next chapter. As always disclaimer in Ch. 1, and please review. Lots of love, Lan. (hahaha don't you love consonance? I hope that's the right term. I'm forever getting mixed up with my poetry terms.)
