Chapter 2.
Glinda was astounded. The figure stood before her. She saw the Emerald of the city behind the figure, but...she couldn't see the figure...but...why? She had her eyes almost shut, but she could still see. She noticed only the outline of the body. She could tell the girl had raven black hair. But why couldn't she see her face or body? She realized what was happening as the figure stepped nearer.
"Because I knew you" Glinda heard the figure murmer. Glinda saw why she couldn't see the figure with the Emerald City behind her. The figure had emerald skin!
"Because I knew you!" Glinda said as she realized who this was. Elphaba Thropp! Elphaba! Elphie!
"I have been changed for good!" they sang in unison.
"Elphaba!" Glinda cried. She ran over to her best friend and gave her a big hug. Elphaba only smiled. "ELPHABA!" Glinda said, realizing reality. "You died six days ago!"
"Er...no," Elphaba told her. "I have to show you something...well...someone,"
Another figure came in the door. It was the scarecrow who helped Dorothy!
"Well, this feels like a reunion!" the scarecrow said. Glinda recognized the scarecrow's voice.
"Fiyero?" she asked him.
"Who else?" Fiyero said.
"FIYERO! You're okay! I was so worried!" Glinda said. She gave him a hug too. "But...you're all...strawish..." Glinda tried not using the word scarecrow.
"Don't be afraid. I know I am a scarecrow," Fiyero said.
"How?" Glinda asked. Elphaba saw the grimmerie on the newly pink desk Glinda had. She laughed at the pinkness, as Glinda was hoping for. Elphaba picked up the Grimmerie and flipped to the spell.
"Eleka nahmen nahmen ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen--" Glinda chanted but Elphaba clamped her mouth shut.
"We don't need anymore mishaps! Fiyero could turn to one lousy piece of straw if you do that!" Elphaba said. But then she burst out laughing at her comment and Glinda joined in.
"Wait, how are you alive? You melted!" Glinda asked.
"Trap door," Elphaba and Fiyero said in unison.
"Oh," Glinda said. Then she was outraged. "SO YOU TRICKED ME INTO THINKING YOU WERE DEAD BY GOING THROUGH A TRAP DOOR? I WAS SOOOOOOOOOO MISERABLE!" Glinda yelled.
"No one could know!" Fiyero said.
"Why are you back in Oz?" Glinda asked. Fiyero pointed at Elphaba.
"I am trying to...make people like me more. You being my best friend...and the new Wizard, I think you could help me!" Elphaba confessed.
Glinda paused then said, "I'd be honered to help you, Elphaba Thropp," Then the moment was just right.
"Just you and I defying gravity! With you and I defying gravity! They'll never bring us down!" Elphaba and Glinda sang.
"I should have gone with you!" Glinda said.
"You probably made the right choice!" Elphaba said. "You are now the Wizard!"
"And I know my duties!" Glinda said.
She walked outside of the building. Elphaba and Fiyero followed.
"Fellow Ozians, may I have your attention?" no one cared about Glinda when she said that. They turned and screamed at the girl behind Glinda.
"The Wicked Witch!" people cried. It was havic! Everyone was screaming!
"KILL HER KILL HER!" the people cried.
All for now!
