After Oz
Chapter 1: After the "Melting"
It worked, thought Elphaba. Her plan of faking her own death worked! She escaped the prejudice citizens of Oz with her beloved Fiyero. Too bad Nessa isn't here to share this moment thought Elphie, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes before they started to burn her. "I'm glad to be away from everyone who thought I was strange", Elphaba told her companion, Fiyero. "I'm not going to miss anyone", she added, "except for Glinda". "I just wish I could let her know that I'm alright and not to worry." "You shouldn't worry", comforted Fiyero, putting a friendly hand on her shoulder. "We need to get going now; Elphaba realized snapping out of her emotional roller coaster, before someone finds us." "Good idea", agreed Fiyero, "if we stay here people might find the trap door you used to fake the melting". With that note, Elphaba and Fiyero followed the winding passage way out of the castle and into the woods.
Once in the woods, Elphie helped Fiyero take off his scarecrow costume. The costume, he used to fool Dorothy so he could get into the castle and be reunited with Elphaba. When the costume was off, Fiyero and Elphaba continued on foot. After about 10 minutes, Elphaba realized she could use the Grimmery to help them along their journey. Reaching into her pocket, Elphie remembered that the Grimmery was now in Glinda's possession. Elphaba had given Glinda the book of spells to always remind her that because of each other, they had been changed for good. "What are you thinking about", asked Fiyero, noticing the puzzled look on her face. "Just, well, um, it doesn't matter" answered Elphaba half truly. "Let's stop here and rest awhile", she added. "Ok", was all Fiyero said.
After only 2 minutes Fiyero was "out like a lamp". Good, thought Elphie, now I can think without being interrupted. I really need to see Glinda and tell her I'm alright, and that's just what I'll do. "But not without me", added Fiyero suddenly. "You could hear my thoughts?" "Yeah", he answered, "you must've given me some magic when you put that spell on me" Elphaba sat there look thoroughly confused. "You know the one that goes great to music?" "Oh yeah", said Elphaba flatly, "that". "Well we're going to stay here for the night I guess", she informed him, "and tomorrow we set out for Oz, once again".
