Glinda read the note over again. The trap door was supposedly in the library. Wait wasn't she in the library? Glinda shut her eyes tight and she could vaguely remember bookshelves that used to line the one wall in this particular room. She started her search. Glinda went around stomping on the floor. The room was a pretty big room so she knew she might be there a while.

After 30 minutes, Glinda had searched half of the room. She came to a spot near the center on the room and stomped on it. The place she stomped on made a strange, almost hollow sound. This had to be the location of the trap door.

Glinda got down on her hands and knees and started searching for a handle or a lever of some sort. She no longer cared about getting her dress dirty because she was on the verge of possibly finding information if Elphie truly died. She saw a tiny slit in the floor. She tried to pull it open, but broke a nail in the process.

Glinda whipped out her nail file and started to file her nail. She suddenly realized that her nail file was really thin and tiny. She stuck her nail file in the small slit and pushed down on the file causing a square of floor boards to swing back. She had done it! She found the trap door.

She peered down into the darkness. "Elphie," Glinda called out. Silence… Glinda figured she had no other choice but to go down into the trap door. Glinda searched the castle for a candle and a match. After a while she finally managed to find one in what seemed to be the kitchen. Glinda returned to the trap door and slid down into the darkness.

Glinda held the candle in front of her and could see a long hallway. She carefully walked down the hallway, keeping an eye out for spiders and mice. She came to a rusted door and she slowly pushed it open causing it to make a loud creak.

She entered a barren room. She started to leave the room when two things caught her eye, a few pieces of straw and a small piece of black fabric. Elphie was here she thought, but her question remained where was her best friend now?

Elphaba walked into the kitchen and started to make breakfast. Fiyero snuck up behind her and gave a kiss on her head. She turned around and returned his kiss. She felt at peace, a feeling she hadn't felt in a long time.

"Is Liir up yet," Elphaba questioned.

"Not yet," Fiyero stated.

"It's nearly 10:30," Elphaba exclaimed causing Fiyero to laugh.

"Let him sleep. When he wakes up he can help me with the garden," Fiyero told Elphaba before she could run and wake up their son.

Elphaba reluctantly agreed to let Liir sleep.

"See you later," Fiyero said walking out the door.

"Bye," Elphaba whispered in a somewhat pained voice. She still felt horrible for turning Fiyero into a scarecrow. She swore to herself she would someday she would change him back. She hoped that day would be soon so she could finally put her guilt to rest.

Fiyero walked into their garden and immediately all the crows scattered. He let a small sigh and started to pull weeds. He had tried to convince Elphaba he didn't mind being a scarecrow, but he knew she still felt guilty.

A few hours later, Glinda left the castle after not finding Elphie. She saw dark clouds looming in the distance and she hoped she would be able to get back to the palace before the storm got closer. She got into her bubble and floated away.

The storm approached fast. The winds started to howl blowing Glinda's bubble this way and that. Glinda held on for her life. Her bubble kept floating farther and farther away from the Emerald City.

After what seemed forever, Glinda had given up. Controlling her bubble was useless. The wind had blown her way of course and she no longer had any idea where she was. She suddenly realized a large tree that her bubble was approaching at a fast rate. She tried to get out of the way of the tree, but she failed. He bubble hit the tree full force and popped. Glinda started to fall, hitting many tree branches on the way down. She landed on the ground with a thud.

She tried to move, but it hurt. Surely she had broken something. Glinda curled up in a ball and started to sob. She was cold, wet, lost, and in pain. To make matter worse her new dress she had on was covered in grass stains and totally ruined. Glinda's sobs started to die down and she fell dozed off lying on many tree branches, all alone, and in the middle of a large forest.
