As the morning ticked on dorothy suddenly got a very sinking feeling as the rest of the house began to wake up. Madeline sighed and went out into the living, dorothy heard her conversing with her aunt and uncle. After a minute dorothy sighed and got up. Walking into the living room, she was met with Glinda, who was sitting in an armchair with two of Dorothy's cousins, Robert and Alicia on her lap.
"Glinda, what a surprise." Dorothy said.
Glinda looked at dorothy and smiled. Her cousins immediately jumped from Glinda's and walked over to their sister amber, who was just sitting on the floor playing with their toys. Glinda got up and kissed Dorothy's forehead gently, and hugged her tightly.
"Glinda?" Dorothy asked curiously.
"yes dear?" Glinda replied.
"what are you doing here?" dorothy asked now returning the embrace
Glinda chuckled and released her. producing an envelope from her pocket, she handed it to dorothy.
"I have to deliver one to alex later." Glinda said smiling.
"What is it?" Madeline asked walking over.
"A request from Alyssa." Glinda said.
"in my pocket I have one from Terrance." Glinda said as a flash of lightning lit the house.
Dorothy smiled and opened the envelope. Taking out the small card she read it aloud.
"Dorothy, I was wondering if you would like to be my maid of Honor at Terrance's and my wedding, please send word as soon as you can, yours truly, Alyssa." Dorothy read, her eyes growing wide.
"Maid of honor? Oh, dorothy, you should accept." Em said.
"I agree with your aunt." Madeline said.
"Take your time dorothy, they're taking their time with this wedding, a year or so at least, planning every detail to the exact threads on her dress." Glinda said.
"What about Elena, surely she?" Dorothy asked.
"She said no the moment Alyssa walked up to her." Glinda said.
"what was her reason?" Madeline asked.
"She said she wanted to help Brianna make a surprise for the wedding." Glinda said.
"must be planning a wedding cake." Em said.
"That's what Alyssa, Ellie, and I thought, none of the other girls wanted to either, all of them with the same excuse." Glinda said.
"And I come in because everyone else said no?" Dorothy asked.
"No, quite the opposite, you are the one who she wanted to ask first, but Locasta insisted on asking the girls first." Glinda said smiling.
Another flash of lightning lit up the house, and thunder shook it. a moment later the phone rang. Em got up and walked over to the phone, taking it off the hook.
"Gale residence, Emily speaking, Oh, Fenny? Is everything alright? What!? Oh, thank Goodness." She said in tones of concern and sudden relief.
"What's wrong?" Dorothy asked now concerned.
"so he's alright? Thank goodness. is he injured? He's lucky, when will he be able to? Oh, I see, well I can send Glinda." Em said suddenly going silent.
"send me where?" Glinda asked only to be shushed by Em.
"Well, has he asked for? Good, will he be fit enough? No, why?" Em asked into the phone.
"Em?" Henry asked curiously.
"Fenny? Yes, but how did he get struck?" Em asked causing Dorothy's heart to sink
"Auntie Em, what happened?" Dorothy asked worriedly.
"Alright, I'll let them know, alright. Have you told Madison?" Em asked
"Auntie Em!" Dorothy shouted only to be shushed.
"Fenny, I'll tell them, tell him we'll see them soon." Em says hanging up the phone.
"Em? What happened?" Henry asked.
"Dorothy, can you sit down?" Em asked turning the attention to her.
Dorothy looked at her aunt, and sat down. She knew she was about to get bad news. She was sure it concerned alex.
"Glinda, you too." Em said
Glinda nodded and sat down on the floor, smoothing down her dress.
"Auntie Em?" dorothy asked.
Em sighed and turned back to dorothy.
"Dorothy, alex was helping move some things, he was struck by lightning while exiting the storage facility." Em said.
Dorothy knew if she had been holding anything, she would most definitely have dropped it. Immediately Madeline excused herself from the room. She assumed to check on Jack. Glinda was just sitting there, eyes closed tightly, her fingers rubbing the bridge of her nose.
"He's alright, he's at a hospital now, getting looked at, he's asked for you several times." Em said
Dorothy wasn't anymore reassured by this. She wanted absolute positivity, to be absolutely sure he was alright. She turned to Glinda.
"Glinda, Go, find him, make sure he's alright!" Dorothy said sternly.
"Yes your majesty." Glinda said conjuring her wand.
"Don't call me That!" Dorothy shouted
"Yes your majesty." Glinda turning to her and then vanishing.
Dorothy growled and got up, storming to her room. Immediately she felt Madeline grab her wrist and the next thing dorothy knew, she felt herself lurch forward.
So, dorothy is off to Oz obviously. Is alex really alright? Why did Glinda do something that really irritated dorothy? Read on to find out.
