Have any of you ever seen Wicked on Broadway? I saw it a couple years ago and I LOVED it. It's so good. So I thought that this chapter would be fun :) Enjoy!

"What are these?" Regina asked, holding up the tickets that Emma had bought.

"Those are called tickets," Emma said, smirking.

Regina rolled her eyes. "I know what they are. What I don't get is what they're for. What's 'Wicked'?"

Emma bit her lip to keep from laughing. The less that Regina knew, the funnier that this was going to be. For her anyway. "It's a musical."

"You're taking me to a musical?" Regina asked. "And let me guess, it's out of town?"

"Yes and yes," Emma said, smiling. "Musicals are awesome! And there's more to this one than you might think."

"Is that so?" Regina asked.

Emma nodded. "There's even magic involved."

"Magic? In a musical?" Regina asked. "How on earth do they pull that off? Magic isn't real outside of this town."

"Not real magic," Emma said. "Stage magic. It looks real, but the audience knows that it isn't."

Regina pursed her lips before nodding. "Okay. Although I'm not sure how I feel about the show title. All it does is remind me of Zelena."

Emma pinched her arm to keep from laughing. This was definitely going to remind her of Zelena.

It wasn't until Regina and Emma were in their seats that Regina started to put together what the musical was really about. If she hadn't gotten a program and seen the logo, Emma would have bet money on them making it through the first song before Regina would protest and try to leave. No such luck.

"This show is about Zelena?" Regina hissed. "Why would you bring me here?"

"Calm down," Emma said, grabbing her hand. "People are starting to stare."

"Let them stare," Regina said, picking up her purse. "We need to go. I am not sitting through a show about my sister."

"Hold your horses," Emma said, squeezing Regina's hand to get her attention. "This show isn't about Zelena. It's about the Wicked Witch, yes. But not Zelena."

"What? That makes no sense," Regina said. "Zelena is the Wicked Witch."

Emma shook her head. "Not in this story. In this story, her name is Elphaba. And she has a very different story than Zelena does."

"How so?" Regina asked.

Emma just smiled before leaning back in her seat. "Guess you'll just have to wait and see."

Regina huffed before setting down her purse and leaning back in her seat as well. "We'll talk during intermission about this," she said as the lights went down.

Emma shrugged and smiled as the pit orchestra started playing. Regina was going to love this show. She just knew it.

As the curtain closed and the lights went up for intermission, Emma looked over at Regina. Regina looked exactly how Emma had predicted. She was enjoying the show, but was too stubborn to admit to Emma that she had been wrong.

"So?" Emma asked, nudging her gently. "Is it as bad as you thought it would be?"

"No," Regina mumbled. "You win. I'm actually enjoying it. It's actually a much better story than what Zelena has."

"Really?" Emma asked in surprise. "How so?"

"Well for starters, Elphaba is actually a nice person," Regina said, chuckling. "I actually wouldn't mind having her for a sister!"

Emma laughed. "That's true. She's nice, but largely misunderstood. Like somebody else I know."

"If you're talking about me, you're largely mistaken," Regina said. "I'm as far from nice as you can get."

"Not to me," Emma argued.

"You're an exception," Regina said. "As is Henry."

"You're still misunderstood," Emma said. "I bet if people saw you sitting here with me, they'd gain a lot more confidence in how much you've changed."

"How is going to a musical going to change their minds about me?" Regina asked.

"Because you're here with me, the Savior, daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming," Emma said dramatically. "And you're not trying to kill me."

Regina laughed. "I'm not trying to kill you because I love you."

"Now isn't that sweet," Emma teased, kissing her on the cheek.

"You're a dork, you know that?" Regina asked.

"I do," Emma said. "But I'm your dork."

"God help me," Regina said. "Now shush. The second act is starting."

Emma smiled before getting comfortable. "Knew you were gonna like it."
