I AM BACK FROM HIATUS! Sorry that I went but obsessive-elphaba, the co-writer, had to stop writing and a horrible writers block attacked this story.
With every step Glinda took she was filled more with guilt and regret.
Why, oh, why did she go off and have an affair? She loved Fiyero, she knew that, but he seemed gone all the time, looking for Elphie. Glinda knew she wanted to find her best friend but she really wished that Fiyero would stay in the Emerald City a little more often. She also wished she didn't sleep with some other people.
Which brought her to another question. Why was she doing this? Leaving her own child behind? It didn't feel right. It made the blonde's heart ache to think that her daughter was sitting alone in a basket on some stranger's house. Well not exactly alone, she had a little dog, but that wasn't really much for company in her opinion. It wasn't an Animal.
Glinda ran, tears still streaming down her face until she came back to the hot air balloon where she swiftly ran behind a barn to compose herself. Even she knew that if the Wizard saw her this broken down he would suspect something unusual.
The blonde had learned a long time ago when she was little that it was always a good thing to be a skilled actress as well as to be beautiful. It would keep others from knowing what one wishes to conceal. Once she felt she could take the trip back without breaking part.
"Oh Miss Glinda, you're back already?" the Wizard greeted her as she walked over.
Glinda, not sure that opening her mouth to speak was a good idea, quietly nodded.
"Don't tell me you want to go back already!" the Wizard exclaimed, "We just got here!"
Glinda shot him a serious look and climbed back into the balloon's basket, the sooner she leave the better.
"Alright then but, what happened to your basket?"
"I don't want to talk about it," Glinda's bright emerald eyes said and the Wizard, not being the idiot some took him for, read them dropped the subject.
The trip back to Oz seemed surprisingly LONGER than the trip out which, in view of the information they had, was quite an unexpected fact. As all Ozians knew, it was virtually impossible to leave Oz (nobody had) but there is a way to get in (how else could the Wizard be there, not being a natural born Ozian himself?).
Due to that Glinda took advantage of the longer ride to think and for the whole ride back completely ignored a very confused Wizard.
Okay yeah, short but don't worry, the next part is coming up soon! It is IN PROGRESS! I AM WRITING IT AS YOU READ!
