A/N: I'm so happy yet sad. This fic is so much closer to being done for good. Again. I don't own any of this that I'm writing about.
Scuttle flew into Glinda's room, screaming her name, which caused the crab and the princess to awaken. Sebastian glared at the feathery creature.
"Great news! The whole village is buzzing about the princess tying the knot this afternoon!" he exclaimed happily but he saw the confused looks they were giving him. "You know she's getting married. I'll catch ya later. I wouldn't miss it!" he said as he flew away.
Glinda's face broke out in a wide smile. She jumped off the bed, stopped to fix her hair in the mirror and rushed out of the room. She ran down the stairs but was stopped and hid behind a pillar as she saw Elphaba, Boq, and a brown-haired girl holding onto Elphaba's left arm.
"Well, it appears I was wrong, Elphie. It seems your dream girl does in fact exist. A-And she's very lovely." He was lying through his teeth but he lied for his friend's sake. He took the mysterious girl's free hand, smiling. "Congratulations my dear."
"We wish to be married as soon as we possibly can." Elphaba said in a drone.
"I understand but these things take time, Elphaba."
"This afternoon, Boq. The wedding ship departs at sunset."
"Well, if you insist, Elphaba." Glinda turned away at that. She was breathing hard. She could hardly that she had lost. Tears began to cloud her eyes. She covered to face and ran back to her room.
Morrible, in disguise as a human named Lucille, had seen her rush out. She laid her head on Elphie's shoulder and laughed silently to herself as she held the shell necklace that contained Glinda's voice.
Later about a half hour before the sun was going to set, Glinda sat on the dock, watching the wedding ship depart slowly. She felt herself gasping for breath as she slid down and cried into her arms softly. Sebastian bowed his head, sadly. Glinda lifted her tear-filled eyes. A tear slipped out of her eye and landed in the water, causing it to ripple in front of Flounder.
Meanwhile, Scuttle flew in the sky, humming "Here Comes the Bride" when Glinda's voice broke him out of his daze. He landed on the window where he watched the mysterious girl getting ready. When she looked into the mirror, he saw her real face, the face of the sea witch.
"Oh no…she's gonna…I better…" he flew off fast toward the docks. "Glinda! GLINDA!" he landed beside her. "I was flying and I saw the watch-the witch was watching the mirror and was singing with a stolen set of pipes!" He picked up Sebastian and hit him against the wooden dock. "The princess is marrying the sea witch in disguise!"
Glinda's gasped silently as Sebastian rubbed his head. "You sure about this, Scuttle?"
"Have I ever been wrong? I mean when it's really important?!"
Glinda stood up and stared at the sun, which was almost gone. She heard Morrible's voice echoing in her head. Before the sun sets on the third day… Glinda looked determined as she dove into the water. Flounder had a rope tied around him and he pulled her as fast he could to the boat.
"I need to tell the sea king, he must know about this!" Sebastian said frantically.
"What about me?"
"You! Find a way to stall that wedding!" Sebastian commanded before swimming off.
"Stall the wedding? That's it!" He took off squawking to tell all of the sea and air creatures to help. "We got an emergency hurry!" he exclaimed as he led them to the boat.
