Final chapter
A wave of shock as well as extreme happiness swept Glinda. Tears of joy began to surface as a warmth grabbed her heart like she had never before known. It was almost like the sun's rays had found their way into her chest and was shining down upon her. "Oh Elphie! Yes, I will marry you."
The green witch could only smile in response as she rose to her feet and wrapped her arms tightly around her blond fiancé. "I've never been so happy." Elphaba replied as she took Glinda's lips for a kiss. Their mouths hungrily feasted on each other's savoring every feeling coursing through their bodies. Once they parted tears of joy were threaten to flood down Glinda's eyes. Elphaba then grinned widely as she cupped the blond's cheek before shouting out from the balcony. "Glinda the Good is mine! The Wicked Witch of the West is no longer alone! Now it is Glinda and I! Glinda and I!"
(song)
"Glinda and I" Sung By Elphaba
Sung to the tune "The Wizard and I" Sung By Elphaba
(Start of song)
ELPHABA
Did that really just happen?
Did you say what I think?
Did my ears hear right from your lips of pink?
Yes I did
That will make me feel overjoyed
Being together we're good
Life is Good
When I first met Glinda
Oh how we did fight
But after getting to know Glinda
I soon saw her in a new sight
And she learned that I was alright
We soon then, became very close
Are paths were fated to met I suppose
Will you my Glinda ever leave me?
No! She'll say to me,
"I love you with all my heart
I'll make sure we'll never depart!"
That's how our lives will start
Glinda and I:
Now that Glinda is mine
My whole life is fine
Because once you're with Glinda
You'll be on cloud nine
No longer will life be a strain
No longer will life be in vain
Even is Oz doesn't love me
That wouldn't change the things I can be
And this strength and courage
I have inside
Maybe will, grow with age
Together we'll break any cage
Glinda and I!
And at our wedding, she'll say "Elphaba
I choose you, to have and to hold
Even when we are young or old
In sickness and in health
I will always love and cherish you
for as long as we may live
So my trust and love I give
Our love is so true, I do"
And though of course
I'm not into tradition myself
"I do, I do" I'll reply
Oh, what a day it will be
for Glinda and I
Yes, what a day it will be
for Glinda and:
Unlimited
Our future is unlimited
And I just a vision
That has much precision
I know it sounds impossible
And true it might not be possible
But I swear there'll be
a celebration throughout Oz
Because they'll be happy for me
And I'll stand there with Glinda
Feeling things I have never felt
And you bet I'll show it
Oh I know my heart will melt
And so it will be
For the rest of my life
And I'll want nothing else
Till I die
Together being seen as supreme
Oz will no doubt scream
When they see their new favorite team
Glinda the Good
And I!
(End of song)
After Elphaba finished the song she turned to Glinda and embraced her tightly.
"Tomorrow you will be swore in as the new Witch of Oz." Glinda said tears of joy still lingering in her eyes.
"That is when I will tell the Ozians." Elphaba replied.
"Tell them what?" Glinda asked.
The green witch smiled broadly before answering, "That I won't be ruling Oz alone."
The following day came fast for Elphaba, so fast in fact, before she knew it Glinda and herself stood together on a stage with the Emerald City behind them and the population of Oz in front. Twlya was also beside them holding one of the Oz law books in her arms. The huge crowd cheered showing there support for the new Witch of Oz. The Emerald City was a buzz with excitement as the crowd waited in anticipation for the green witch to be swore in. The time to preform the ceremony was very short in fact but that didn't seem to stop the exhilaration throughout the huge group of people. Twlya peered at Elphaba for the okay to begin the ceremony. The green skinned woman nodded her head once signaling she was ready to start. Twlya in turn held up her free hand to silence the crowd. Several moments passed before the massif group quieted down to a small mummer. "Fellow Ozians..." Twlya began. "Today we welcome a new leader. She has proved her worthiness many times and is our current hero for saving Shiz not to mention Oz from a horrible fate. From this day Elphaba will rule over Oz just like her father, the Wizard of Oz, had done. With that said let's make this official." Twlya then opened the book in her hands to a red marker that laid in the middle of it. "Elphaba, do you swear to hold the task of being the Wizard of Oz? To help all creatures or humans and rule justly?"
"I swear." The green witch answered, her voice strong and confident.
"With that be said...Ozians here is the new Witch of Oz!" Twlya announced as she extended her hand out before starting to clap. The crowd in turn began to applaud as Elphaba waved to the people. Several moments later the clapping quieted down and the green witch began to speak.
"Fellow Ozians I am honored that I can help lead Oz to a better future, but I will not be doing this task alone." The crowd began to whisper to one another after Elphaba had said that statement. "Glinda the Good will be helping me when she is not at Shiz." The crowd then clapped for the curly blond who took Elphaba's hand in her own. "I would also like to announce that Glinda and I are to be married." A great gasp was heard throughout the sea of Ozains before they clapped and cheered wildly for the two women. Once the noise of excitement calmed down a familiar voice called up to Glinda.
"Glinda, give us a little speech!"
The blond smiled down at Uackle who had Chistery in her arms as she waited for an answer. Glinda then took in a deep breath before starting to speak. "What can I say?...
(Song)
"Thank Goodness" (The end of the song, Note: song is changed slightly)
(Start of song)
GLINDA
Still–
with this perfect finale
The cheers and the ballyhoo
Who
Wouldn't be happier?
So I couldn't be happier
Because happy is what happens
When all your dramas come true
Well, isn't it?
Happy is what happens...
When your dreams come true!
CROWD
We love you, Glinda, if we may be so
Frank...
GLINDA
Thank Goodness
CROWD
For all this joy, we know who we're got to thank
Thank Goodness!
That means Wizard law, Glinda...
GLINDA
And Fiancé!
CROWD
They couldn't be goodlier
She couldn't be lovelier
We couldn't be luckier...
GLINDA
I couldn't be happier...
CROWD
Thank Goodness
GLINDA AND CROWD
Today!
Thank Goodness For Today!
(End of song)
Once the singing ended Elphaba pulled Glinda close and gave her a kiss on the lips. As a result the Ozians erupted in a ecstatic cheer for the two young lovers. After the kiss ended Elphaba turned back to the crowd and gave a bow and tipped her hat to show thanks as Glinda give a curtsey. Then suddenly Elphaba pulled herself and Glinda on her broom and they began to fly up towards the sky. Glinda held on tightly to the green witch as they hovered over the crowd. Elphaba then gave a loud scream. A cry only the Wicked Witch of the West could deliver.
"Long live the Witches of Oz!" The crowd shouted as the green skinned woman took in a giant breath and gives them a song of her own.
(song)
"Defying Gravity" (The end of the song, Note: this song is changed slightly)
(Start of song)
ELPHABA
So if you care to find us
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately
'Everyone deserves the chance to fly'
And I'll be no longer flying solo
Together we'll be flying free
To those who'd ground us
Take a message back from me:
Tell them how we
are defying gravity
We're flying high
defying gravity
(Uackle thrown Chistery into the air and he flies with ease to where Elphaba and Glinda are. He hovers next to them, in turn Elphaba smiles at him, and continues her song)
And soon we'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No wizards that there is or was
is ever going to bring us down!
(End of song)
Once Elphaba finished the crowd cheered with great intensity as the green witch kissed Glinda. In response the Ozians shouted to them once again, "Long live the Witches of Oz!"
"Your right." Elphaba said suddenly.
"What?" Glinda asked.
"Happy is what happens when all your dreams come true." Elphaba replied as she tightened her grip around the blond's waist and brought her lips to Glinda's once again.
