When Dorothy woke the next morning, it was to the sound of excited squeal coming from Glinda. Dorothy couldn't make out what she was squealing about. So she decided to go find out, she got up and opened the door, she followed the high pitched squeals of Glinda, back to what seemed to be the main room. When she entered the room she saw what seemed to be Glinda, well she assumed it had to be Glinda as no one else she knew wore quite that much pink, holding a pair of green hands, jumping around in circles, the green one looked rather reluctant to jump. Then all of a sudden the squealing stopped and Glinda broke down in tears. Dorothy suddenly realised who the green person was, "the witch" she said, maybe a little too loudly. It was then she convinced herself it was a dream. A, well she wasn't yet sure of what type of dream. "This is a dream." she shouted "you're dead!"
"Umm… actually, I am not dead and I would prefer not to be known as "the witch" I am Elphaba, Glinda calls me Elphie, my sister, the one you landed your house on, used to call me Fabala. But I would prefer you call me Elphaba." Said the witch.
"No, I am dreaming, I killed you, how can you not be dead? I saw you die!" Dorothy yelled.
"No you aren't dreaming and you only thought you saw her die." Glinda matter-of-factly said.
"I- I don't understand." Dorothy said, confused.
"I was in a bit of trouble with the law, so I faked my death. You tipped water on me and everyone thought I died, I mean come on, who would die from water exposure, I faked it and I have just resurfaced and now I am not hated anymore, because the wizard has gone, Glinda here, is the new one. So in short no I am not dead." Elphaba said.
"So then I didn't kill you?" Dorothy said, suddenly not sure of whether it really was a dream or not.
"If you killed me would I be standing here?" Elphaba asked a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
"Well maybe, it depends on if I am dreaming or not." Dorothy said and instantly regretted it as she received strange and almost angry looks from the two women.
"You are NOT dreaming." Elphaba and Glinda said in unison.
