a/n: I love Wicked. This story is based off the musical. I have only seen the show once so if I get something wrong please just tell me how to correct it and be nice about it. I am open to any and all suggestions. This story is AU

Glinda stood on the steeps outside of the Emerald City palace, the spell book that Elphaba had given her clutched tightly to her chest. Although to the unsuspecting stranger it would look as if she was happy, but inside she was miserable. She had just suffered the loss of her best friend. True, she had lots of 'friends' but no one had ever understood her the way Elphaba had. Just then a young man who was probably in his mid thirties approached her.

"Glinda the good, you have been the one to give us hope in the past months, and we would be greatly honored if you were to take the position or ruler of Oz." His voice was full of admiration. Glinda smiled warmly at him.

"I'm honored, Sir, but how can you be sure that all of Oz agrees with you?" The man cracked a wide grin and ran up the marble stairs directly behind them, taking them two at a time. When he reached the top he turned and faced the crowd that had quickly gathered around the palace.

"Fellow Ozians, we have just been through a time of terror and turmoil. Now we are faced with the fact that we do not have some one to run our fair city. I bring forth the suggestion that the wonderful Glinda the Good redeem this position." As he finished his last word the crowd erupted in cheers. The man grinned and descended the stairs, stopping next to Glinda. "Well there's your answer. Welcome home" He said kindly, sweeping his arms out before him, offering her the city.

Glinda sat in the bedroom of her new home (located in the Emerald City), holding the Grimmerie in her lap. The words Elphaba had spoken when she gave the book to her were running through her head."I guess you'll have to learn."

And Glinda was going to do just that. She had posted an add for someone who could read the language in question, and after about two weeks she received a response. The morning of "their" first meeting ('their' being she and the person who had responded to the add) she awoke to the familiar feeling of emptiness, but slowly climbed out of bed nevertheless.

She had planned the perfect day for the two of them. They would first walk around the town, and she would show him some of the wonderful things she was now the proud ruler of. Then after getting to know each other they would go out to dinner, and possibly walk a bit more afterwards. The fact that the respondee was a male had only influenced her planning a bit.

She walked over to her closet, and after a long and tiresome session of pulling clothes out and shoving them back in, she chose a light blue dress. The dress had always been one of her personal favorites, the blue complimenting her hair and skin in just the right way. She examined herself in the mirror and admired how the V-shaped top of the dress exposed just as much as she wanted, but of course still remaining modest. She brushed out her golden blonde curls just as there was a knock on her door.

It was her housekeeper, Sarah. "Miss, there is a Mr. Hersh here to see you." "Thank you, I will be right down."

Glinda placed the brushed down and exited the bedroom, walking gracefully down the spiral stair case. When she entered the parlor she laid eyes on the most gorgeous man she had ever seen in her life. He had amazing chestnut hair, soft blue eyes, and broad shoulders with quite the collection of muscles. From first glance she might've guessed he was about 6' 2", but she couldn't exactly tell.

"You must be Geoffrey; I'm Glinda Upland."

"It's a pleasure, Glinda Upland." He said, shaking her hand

"Well I guess we should get going." Glinda offered awkwardly, trying her hardest not to stare. Geoffrey obliged and followed her out the door, but not before offering to help her into her coat, an action which almost made Glinda faint.
