~~~~10 Years Later~~~~
~Glinda~
She sat at her desk in the Emerald Palace, trying to process the news she had just received about a rebellion brewing in Oz. Apparently someone had began preaching about how her were destroying Oz slowly, and the movement was growing in momentum.
As she stared at her black desk, there was a small knock on the door, and Glinda looked up to see her daughter peeking her head around the door at her mother.
"Bala darling," Glinda smiled as she looked down at her beautiful daughter, "You're supposed to be in bed. You have school in the morning."
The Fabala simply stared up at Glinda and spoke in a small voice, "But mum, I don't want to sleep, it's raining outside and it's really loud in my room. Besides I don't have to go to school."
Glinda laughed and lead the girl from her office, "I'll tell a story about Elphie."
The 11 year old looked up at her mother and smiled. "I'd like that," she responded.
~Elphaba~
Elphaba was in town when she came across the newspaper. A trader from the Emerald City had brought it, and it was a special for Glinda's 11 year anniversary of ruling Oz. But when someone flicked the the rest of the paper, they would come across another article about Glinda, but this one was about how she was slowly destroying Oz.
As soon as Elphaba saw this negative article, she knew that there had to be a rebellion swelling.
"No," Fiyero looked at his wife, "You know it's to dangerous."
Elphaba was starting to get angry, "Fiyero! Glinda is in trouble. I'm going, and I promise that I'll be careful. No one but Glinda will know I'm there."
Fiyero opened his mouth to speak again, but saw the stubborn and defiant look in her eyes. "Why do you have to be so stubborn?" He asked quietly."
Elphaba smiled and replied, "That's why you love me."
Elphaba was packing a small bag when she heard her bedroom door creak. As she looked she saw her eight year old twins, Katia and Airex looking around the door.
When they saw their mother looking at them, Elphaba's only son spoke, "Mommy where are you going?"
"Oh Airex," Elphaba sighed as she beckoned the twins into her room. "I' going to take a trip, but I'm not sure when I'll back. So you need to be good for Daddy, okay?"
Katia spoke next, "Auntie Glinda's in trouble. Isn't she?" Katia had always been the most like her mother; she the only child who inherited sorcery abilities, she was quiet and loved books. She was also extremely observant.
Elphaba sighed, "You found the newspaper didn't you?" Katia nodded and dragged her brother from her parents room.
~Glinda~
She couldn't sleep, so Glinda left her bedroom and sat down in the living room. For once the Emerald Palace had an silence to it, but she still could seem to be able to calm her mind.
Her thoughts kept returning to the rebellion; she was scared of it. Even after talking to her husband she still wished that Elphaba was there to help her.
"Elphie would know what to do," Glinda whispered.
And then from behind her she heard and familiar voice, "Then why didn't you ever ask?"
Glinda stood up and turned to face her friend. "Fine Elphie, what should I do?"
Elphaba smiled, "Well I need to know everything that you've discovered about this rebellion; how long it's been going on, who's its leaders, who does it target?"
Glinda hugged her friend and handed her a huge folder labeled 'Rebellion', and replied, "You should get reading."
