Chapter 4
Elphaba paced back and forth on the hard gravel beneath her, nervously she bit at one of her long fingers and thought impatiently.
'Where the hell is Glinda? Surely something's not wrong, I mean come on its Glinda were talking about here.'
Just as she finished thinking this, Glinda came charging down the stony path that led from Shiz. Her blue eyes seemed to be filled with unwanted, unshed tears that she tried to wipe away while pulling the trunks along with her.
"Glinda, wa- what's the matter? What happened back there?" Elphaba asked while pulling the now close to hysterical girl into a deserted alleyway.
"No- nothing Elphaba" Glinda stammered.
"Nothing my ass, Glinda your hysterically crying. You left perfectly composed and you come back like this. How can I not think nothing wrong." Elphaba asked.
Glinda just sat on a trunk and stared at her manicured nails while the tears poured out of her.
"Glinda," Elphaba started more softly " what happened back there? I've never seen you so distraught before. Remember what you told me long ago?"
Glinda only sniffled while hiccupping.
"You told me that friends never keeps secrets from friends, nor do sisters," Elphaba huffed at Glinda's lack or remembrance.
"Oh yeah," Glinda mumbled "now I remember."
"So with that said, what actually happened Glinnie?"
Glinda proceeded to tell Elphaba her heartbreaking account of running into the three people she didn't want to run into most. Then she went on telling her how Fiyero came in, in only a towel and how she told him she loved him and that she was leaving Shiz forever.
"Well Glinda the past is in the past, unfortunately were not able to anything about our past. All we can do is go on with our lives."
"Even though it hurts Elphaba?" Glinda asked sorrowfully
Elphaba nodded, "Yes, even though it hurts."
Elphaba sat down next to her best friend while softly holding her hand, in a comforting way. Knowing how hard it was for Glinda to say goodbye to her love she remained silent. Both of them sitting in a companionable silence, just enjoying each others company.
After just sitting there for a few minutes longer, Glinda finally stood up.
"Come we must go before anyone recognizes us, where are we going to go Elphaba? Certainly we can't go to the Emerald City, we know what happened there."
Elphaba stood, "I- I don't really know where we are going to go Glinda. I didn't even think that we'd be able to pull of coming here."
Glinda stood there gaping at Elphaba with a look of death on her face.
Glinda was about to speak, but Elphaba cut her off knowing that rage was going to come out of her friends mouth.
"Well we certainly can't stand her forever now can we? Come, we'll take a train somewhere…"
"Elphaba what's wrong, why do you have that look on your face? What are you thinking?"
"Glinda, how would you like to go to Munchkinland?" Elphaba asked slowly.
"Mu-mu-mu-Munchkinland" Glinda stammered "are you serious?"
"Yeah, why not what's the problem?"
"It's Munchkins.. Munchkins live there."
"Yes, that's why its called "Munchkinland" Glinda" Elphaba laughed.
"Come on Glinda lets go to the train station."
