Oh, hello! Remember me? Probably not. I'm the person who abandoned the awesome people reading her fics literally right after they voted for her story and it won in two categories in the Greg Awards. So there's a lot going on now and I'm going to actually try and keep up with this story. So please stick with me until I can get back into a consistent pattern with updating.

So I decided to combine the sequel with this as so not to over-complicate things. I'm not sure how long this story will be, but I hope you guys enjoy!

And I don't think I ever thanked all of you absolutely amazing people for voting and ensuring that this fic won not one, but two Greg Awards! Love you all!


"Oh, Elphie! That's so ozmazifying! I have to tell all of my friends! Oh, and we'll have to have at least three parties in your honor, and I can even see about hiring a professional dog trainer to come and have some dogs put on a show at the parties! Oh, and..."

"Galinda! Calm down." Elphaba said. "All that Morrible said was that I was going to meet the Wizard. For all we know, I might not be gifted enough in magic to help him." The blonde sighed heavily and shook her head at her green friend.

"You're such a pessimist, Elphie!" She said. "You are so talented! He'd have to be crazy not to choose you to help him with...something! I mean, you're great at...persuasion! That could be useful to him."

"Persuasion?" Asked the green girl, slightly afraid at where her friend was going with this.

"Yeah! I mean, you convinced Morrible to teach me sorcery! And then you convinced her not to make me quit after I accidentally made all of the walls hot pink and dint know what spell would reverse it. That takes talent!"

"All I did was threaten to quit if she made you quit." The green girl reminded her.

"Exactly!" The blonde exclaimed excitedly, jumping up and down. Elphaba stepped back a bit to avoid having her toes stepped on. "She was so determined that you stay in her seminar that she agreed to keep me! Me, the one who barely knows what she's doing! That's how important she thinks you are!"

"Galinda, you don't 'barely know what you're doing'. You do know." Elphaba said. Galinda sighed and shook her head. "What?" The green girl asked.

"You just can't take a compliment, can you?" the blond asked. She paused and took a breath. "Look, Elphie. What I'm saying is that you have talent. So much of it! The Wizard would be absolutely crazy not to want you to be his... what do they call it? Magic... something or other, it doesn't matter what it's called. Just know that I believe in you, Elphie. You will go to the Emerald City, meet the Wizard, and he will absolutely need all of your talent to help him with whatever it is that Wizards need help with."

Elphaba wanted to laugh at her friend's unwavering belief that this was actually going to go the way she wanted. But instead she just shook her head and smiled. "Whatever you say, Glin." Galinda seemed to think that was a good answer, as she smiled and nodded before bouncing over to her bed and sprawling herself out on it.

"So, when you do go to the Emerald City, I want you to tell me all about it! I've always wanted to see it. It's amazing that they could make an entire city using just one color, you know?" The blonde's eyes lit up suddenly, which Elphaba knew meant that she had an idea. "What if they made an entire city out of pink?" She exclaimed. "It would be absolutely great, don't you think! It would be so bright and happy! Ooooh, and people could travel by...wait for it... bubble!" She giggled. "Imagine it, Elphie! It would be like the Emerald City, but it would be pink, and instead of those awful carriages, everybody would travel in big pink bubbles that float! Wouldn't that be amazing?"

"Absolutely wonderful," Elphaba said, smiling slightly. Sure, she would never want to see that, Galinda alone was almost too much pink for her to handle, but the blonde got so excited about it.

"Ooooh, Elphie, maybe you can tell the Wizard about my genius idea and he'll make it real! That would make you the best bestest friend ever!" Galinda said happily. Elphaba just smiled. Maybe she would. It would make the blonde happy, after all.

And they sat together for an hour, listing off things that Elphaba would suggest to the Wizard. Some of them, to Elphaba, seemed like they could actually become a reality. That wouldn't happen though, because the Wizard wasn't who everyone thought him to be.


Yes, I know it's short. I'm sorry about that. If you want updates and just random things, maybe you can check out my blog. I gave the web address in my bio. I'll be putting info regarding update schedules up later today.

By the way, I'm never going to take the Wizard seriously. Once Upon A Time made that impossible. Oh, Walsh, look what you've done :)

Oh, and the secret to Galinda's randomness is to make up her dialogue as you go and see what idiotic things you can think. Honestly, her randomness is more for my amusement than anyone else's, but I'm glad you guys seem to like it! :)
