Hey, everyone this is yet another one of my wacky out there stories. Just so everybody knows this a combination of Musical and book. So for clarification purposes

This takes place where the musical ending leaves off.

All characters with the exception of Glinda are book based. (hopefully)

Fiyero is not a scarecrow

Liir is the age he is in the book. (14?)

And as always I own nothing

Well, that should just about do it. And as a warning this idea is somewhat out there, you've been warned.

Out of Thin Air

Outside the mauntery a cloaked figure landed lightly on the ground. It took one last look at the building that was home for 14 years. Finally, she was free at long last to roam the land of Oz. The young woman in the cloak turned and ran into the forest near by. She had but a few items slung around her neck in a worn sack. She was an odd site, a small narrow frame under a huge billowing black cloak. Her name was Midori and all her life she had lived in the sheltered walls of the mauntery. Never aloud to walk through the iron gates to the outside world. Her black hair flared behind her as she ran full speed away from the old building.

"Sweet freedom!" she said aloud. This was to be the start of her new life, but she would have to be cautious. Midori thought about all this as she pulled off her cloak and lifted her face to the moon. The pale moonlight lit up her face, and it could have been just a trick of the light but Midori's face looked to be an emerald shade of green. It was going to be difficult to have a normal life when you're the Wicked Witch of the West's daughter.

"Wish I had a broom." She mumbled bitterly as she trudged on through the woods. She had never met her mother and never would. As she crawled under an up turned tree, she thought about her life.

The maunts had been straight forward with her once she was old enough. Apparently her mother was in a coma like state when she had Midori and her brother Liir, but Midori was taken away from Elphaba and kept a secret. Due to the fact of how wild she was, teeth like a shark and green skin patterned with strange forest green diamonds. For a majority of her childhood she was kept in a separate wing of the building. Elphaba was never aware of her existence. At that age she didn't really care but as she got older she began to question why her mother wasn't permitted to see her.

A five year old version of Midori toddled up to the maunt that was her care giver.

"Sister Sara can I ask you something?" She whispered tugging on Sara's skirt.

"Yes my child what is it?" the maunt answered as she washed some of the vegetables.

"How come Liir gets to spend time with mommy and not me?"

"Sweetheart your mommy wouldn't understand you."

"Why not? Doesn't she love me?"

The maunt looked at her with a sympathetic stare, "No child, your mother just is slightly ill right now."

"Does she have a cold?"

"No dear not that kind of sick. But she wouldn't be able to take care of you right now."

"Oh, will I ever meet her?"

"No, Midori you never will. I'm sorry."

Midori thought bitterly about how she never would exist to her mother Elphaba or her brother Liir. There was nothing she could do about that now. She appeared out of thin air and she could disappear just as easily. And with that thought Midori tossed her cloak over her narrow shoulders and disappeared into the dark forest.

Yes, page breaks also indicate flash backs in this story. Sorry if that caused any confusion. Any how this probably seems a bit pointless and bleak but all shall be explained! This will get better!

Next chapter includes:

What Elphaba and Fiyero are up to.
