Chapter 2: SHE IS NOT THAT GIRL!
After Glinda had gathered all the necessary characters they all met at Elphaba's castle.
"Ok, anybody whose not here speak now!" Glinda shouted. She was answered by silence from all the people in the room.
"Everyone, I've asked you all here today so you may accompany me to Rothwell High school." Elphaba announced.
"What if we refuse?" the wizard asked.
"If you refuse I sick my monkeys on you."
"Why is it so important that we go? After all from what I hear it's your character is the only messed up one." Madam Morrible scoffed.
Elphaba glared at her before answering, "My Character isn't the only one who needs work." She pointed to the crystal ball.
Madam Morrible looked at it with confusion. Elphaba noticed the former headmistress's puzzled expression. She turned to see that Fiyero and Boq were sitting in front of it cheering.
"What in the name of Oz is going on!" she shouted.
"The game's on." Boq said to her with a mouth full of popcorn.
"Touch down!" Fiyero shouted jumping up. Elphaba laid her head in her hands, "Men." She mumbled.
"Fiyero, I know you enjoy your football but don't you think this is a bad time?" she asked through clenched teeth.
"Um, Boq we may have to watch this later." He said, noticing Elphaba trying to contain her rage.
"Why? This is the big game we can't just….." Boq wasn't given the chance to finish this statement because he soon found himself hovering in the air.
"Ok! Ok! You win Elphie!" he screamed before landing roughly on the floor.
"Now that we've cleared that up turn your attention to the crystal ball." She ordered.
The various characters gasped as they saw how they were being portrayed.
"She's said my line wrong! After Boq says lets dance it isn't WHAT! It's just, what?" Nessa commented. Nobody else shared her out rage to this.
"And my actress mispronounced surrreptitially!" Madam Morrible observed.
Elphaba interrupted the groups complaining, "Now do you all see my point. Something must be done!" After a moment of silence everyone agreed to travel to Rothwell.
After a few mess ups, one landing them in some random fan fiction writers living room, they arrived safely. It must have seemed odd, an entire cast of Wicked characters suddenly appearing in the school cafeteria. But for whatever the reason the students didn't seem too alarmed.
"Why aren't they cowering in fear before the great and powerful Oz?" the wizard shouted.
"Maybe because you left your giant mechanical head back home, you're Ozness." Madam Morrible pointed out. Elphaba rolled her eyes, not believing she was related to this man.
"Um, Elphie it's not like I expected a grand ball or anything. But I did think our arrival would be a little more….alarming." Glinda whispered.
"Be grateful if they actually knew who we were we'd be getting mobbed at this point."
Glinda pouted, she rather like being showered with attention.
"Hey, aren't you guys the characters from that show? Wicked?" one boy asked.
"That we are." Fiyero replied.
Suddenly the entire student body either screamed or attacked them. So many girls tackled Fiyero that Elphaba had to beat them off with her broomstick.
"He's mine not your get used to it!" she snarled as they retreated. After fumbling through the crowd the only people who made it out of the cafeteria were Elphaba, Glinda and Fiyero.
"We need to find the auditorium." Elphaba said.
"What about the others?" Glinda asked.
Elphie looked at the group of people who were now attacking the Wizard.
"They'll be fine."
And with that they all made their way through the school halls.
"Elphie we've been wandering in circles for hours." Glinda complained,
As they passed the cafeteria for the fourth time.
"Fae, dear maybe we should ask for directions?" Fiyero said hopefully.
"No, this time I've got it for sure." She replied looking at the two hallways trying to think of which one she took last time. After a moment of self assessment, Elphaba admitted she was lost.
"Hey, Glinda are you sure that the map said to go right the entire time?" she asked. Glinda glanced at the map she had been reading, "Yep, right the entire time."
"That can't be right there isn't even a hall here." Fiyero pointed out as he snatched the map from her.
"Um Glinda this is a map for the Ozwood mall." He said.
"Oh, so that's why there's shoe stores every where."
"Um, excuse me where is the auditorium?" Elphaba asked a young girl who walked by.
She gave them a weird look before answering, "There's only two hallways? But it's that one." She said pointing to the left hall.
"This never happened." Elphaba said embarrassed.
"Sot his is right up there with the pole dancing." Fiyero said smirking.
"Shut up."
After their little tour of the school the remaining character's arrived at the auditorium.
"About time you got here." Nessa said as Elphaba and company walked through the doors. They had arrived just in time for Candy's rendition of The Wizard and I. Elphaba had to admit that Candy had an alright voice, but the passion of the song was absent. The most important thing that told the feeling was gone.
"Cut!" Elphaba shouted from her seat.
"How dare you interrupt me?" Candy squealed. Her squeal was so obnoxious that Glinda's ears rang.
"Excuse me miss but this is a closed rehearsal." The director announced.
"Not any more." Elphaba said as she stomped over to him.
"Who are you?" he asked looking thinking that Elphaba was some way over obsessed Wicked fan.
"I'm Elphaba the Wicked Witch of the West. But you already knew that. My friends and enemies are here because you have refused to obey our notices. There for we've come to fix you're casting problem." Elphaba said glaring at Candy.
"Yea, rights if you're the Witch of the West prove it." He challenged. Elphaba's eyes narrowed as her broom appeared from out of no where.
"So, I know tons of people who carry around collapsible broom."
"What about a flying broom?" she asked as she mounted her broom and hovered above him. The director fell back in shock, as the students clapped. Elphaba landed lightly and turned to the cowering director.
"Now do you believe me?"
"Yes, but you'll not take over my show!"
"Your show? Hello this is my life you're putting on display!"
"Ok, here's the deal you can work with the students. So they can better learn your parts, but I don't want you messing around with the casting." He ordered regaining some composure.
"You can't expect me to work with that!" Elphaba growled pointing to Candy who was once again yelling at a stagehand.
"Candy is the only student in this school that has the voice for your part. Take it or leave it Witch." He snarled.
Elphie glared at the director before answering, "If I can find someone who can play my part better then her, then can I replace her?"
"If you can find someone but you're fighting a losing battle."
As Elphaba argued with the director everyone else was getting better acquainted with the people who played them.
"So you actually play football?" Fiyero asked Brent, interested.
"Yea, I'm the quarter back."
"How did the game turn out today? I missed the last half."
"We won." Brent replied.
"Your shoes are so cute Ally!" Glinda squealed excitedly.
"Yours are to!" Ally answered.
After reaching a closing argument with the director, Elphaba walked over to Candy. The girl was yelling at a quivering stage hand.
"I'm sorry Candy! I'll turn the light slightly to the left next time." he said before scampering off.
"Hi, I'm Candy. And you must be Elphaba." She sneered giving her a disgusted look.
"Yes, and I'm here to help you with your singing."
"Ha, they're the ones that need help not me. You see unlike them I'm perfect." Candy said flipping her blonde hair dramatically.
"Nobody is perfect. In music there is always room for improvement." Elphaba spat.
"Easy for you to say."
"Listen you little brat! I'm trying to help you."
"I don't need it, but you certainly do. Black is soooooo out!"
Fiyero noticed Elphaba about to strangle the unexpecting girl.
"Will you excuse me?" he said to Brent before running across the stage and grabbing Elphaba around the waist.
"Let me at her! When I get my hands on her!" she screeched as Fiyero drug her off the stage.
"So actually can where pants?" Glinda said amazed that women here normally wore pants and t shirts instead of dresses or frocks.
"Yea, and if you want I can take you shopping for some more in style clothes." Ally said.
"That would be wonderful! I definitely want to be up to date on the latest fashions."
Fiyero had taken Elphaba backstage to calm down for awhile. After making sure she wasn't going to get up and go after Candy again. Elphaba sat backstage watching the stagehands scamper around. She turned swiftly when she heard the Director scream.
"Mouse! This is the forth time this week!" he said as he tried to wipe the coffee off his shirt.
"Sorry Mr. Director Sir..." the girl called mouse said as she handed him a handful of towels.
"It's alright Mouse just try and be more careful." He said.
"Yes sir." She mumbled. The girl had red curly hair that stuck out in all directions, green eyes and thick horn rimed glasses. She walked behind the stage and began to set the next scene. The thick scene landed directly on Candy.
"MOUSE! You stupid little geek!" the diva shrieked.
"Sorry, Candy!" Mouse cried as she rolled up the scene.
"Nice one Mouse!" Brent called giving her a thumbs up.
"Oh, Mouse your fly is unzipped!" Candy pointed out. The entire auditorium laughed at Mouse's red face. Mouse walked briskly off stage and left.
"People, I know Mouse is a rather um unique individual but please mock her on your own time not mine." The Director snapped.
Brent was only one not laughing.
"You like her?" Fiyero asked noticing this.
"No not like that. Mouse used to be my best friend in middle school. I know hard to believe. But I got popular and she didn't. We have been very tight since." Brent explained. Fiyero nodded understandingly.
Elphaba watched Mouse run off embarrassed, she could relate. Glinda ran up to Elphaba excited about something.
"Oh, Elphie guess what were going shopping!" she said jumping up and down excitedly.
"What! Glinda we have clothes."
"Yes, but not in clothes Elphie. We need clothing that fits in with this time."
"We don't have any money." Elphaba said hoping that she could avoid shopping.
"I do! It's funny as soon as we got here the Ozian money that I brought turned into the correct currency. Lucky right?" Glinda explained.
"Hardly the way I would describe it."
"Come on Elphie were off to the mall!" Glinda said dragging Elphaba to her feet and skipping out the door.
Can you say shopping spree! Will Elphaba survive the mall? Will Glinda find the perfect outfit? And more about the girl called Mouse. Please Read and Review.
