so this might seem a little strange to those who dont know anything about the musical wicked, but that is why we have google. long time no update, and in this chapter i will put my disclaimer. this is a little fluffier than last chapter, which weighed me down like a pair of wet woolen socks. no updates this weekend, as i will be camping. leave me a review if you can guess the story that this chapter mimicks (i will give you a hint; i wrote the chapter in the other story) and they may be similar, but that is becasue it was a great idea and i have unlimited time to write a chapter for this one. whoever guesses *(not you pontiac) then you can win one of the following; cookies or smushed up magic brownies. your choice. i am a proud Fiyeraba shipper, as well as mistoria etc. you get the jist. disclaimer time!
once upon a time, there was a mentally deranged author. she had written a story and was rather well into it when she realized that she needed a disclaimer so that she didnt have to meet RUG on bad terms. so she baked some brownies and burned a cd to give as a trade for the rights to the following; wicked and cats. it didnt work, sadly, but they did get the cd and the brownies for a few bucks. but she did own the souls of her friends as she had pushed them into this head first without any say. then the plot ferret ran off and she had to go and steal more of her friends souls for the upcoming chapters.
Hiding someone bigger than you is a rather hard task, especially when you have to keep it a secret from everyone else. Since Elphaba was larger than the rest of them, they put her in Tugger's den and didn't tell him. They had told Ethan to go and tell Tugger not to go into his den, and make up a great lie, but he sucked at lying and so the set of cats were sitting down on the ground in front of Munkustrap and Elphaba was sitting off in the corner, in a loose, curled up position looking around.
"What do you guys think you are doing, hiding dear Elphaba in Tugger's den? Did you even have permission to do that?" the young toms and queens shook their heads guiltily. Pouncival was about to take the blame so that his friend could leave the sight of the crime easier, when Munkustrap started to laugh.
"You guys take things too seriously. Hiding someone bigger than Tugger is something great. No offense Elphaba, but someone green is even better."
"It's okay Munkustrap. You don't know Galinda, or anyone else in Oz. they think that I am a rather sick child, who eats grass and so I guess I am used to it. Just don't start singing some random song like 'ding dong the witch is dead', as that gets offensive, and don't call me any type of green vegetable." Now that the junkyard was enlightened, Munkustrap continued his great speech.
"Since you are so creative, I will let you off of the hook today, but if you hide another character from a different musical in the junkyard you must tell me, or at least notify me. You don't even have to tell me which one it is. For all I care, it could be M. Madeline from Les Miserables."
Munkustrap was able to talk to them in an almost normal state of mind. After he and Demeter spoke, he slept and then he tried the sisters, and then went to bed again. When Tugger's little girl scream woke him up, he ran out and met Elphaba.
As he walked away to go finish his lovely nap, the kittens decided they were going to learn about this Galinda and Fiyero. Rumpleteazer and Alana were the most excited, next to Electra and Etcetera.
"What is Galinda like?" Rumpleteazer asked, while rubbing up against Elphie's leg.
"She is normal coloured, and has blonde hair and blue eyes. She has little to no IQ points or brain cells, and loves the colour pink. Of course, she is spoiled rotten and knows how to get what she wants. Don't make eye contact with the devil, or you will end up with various brands of makeup plastered across your face."
Alana jumped up in a strange kind of way. "What's Fiyero like?"
"He has the most beautiful green eyes, and he bugs me a lot, and he is dating Galinda. Well, they might be dating, I am never sure, and he has been kicked out of numerous schools. He has lovely blonde hair too, but he is sort of smart. Not really though, just sometimes…" Elphaba sighed happily. Soon Etcetera took it upon herself to break the silence that occurred afterwards.
"Sounds like someone likes someone!" Then they heard a loud, girly squeak and Elphaba made a strange noise before running into Tugger's den again. There was a clash and another squeak that caused all of the responsive jellicles to stand in the center of the junkyard, preparing for a battle against Macavity.
"Fiyero, help me up. Ewww…." The girl screamed. Nope, it wasn't Macavity. It was worse.
"Fine, but can you enlighten me on why you decided to wear five inch heels today when you knew that we were going to find Elphaba?" Oh, things were headed for the worst. When they had gotten to the top of a garbage heap, Galinda screamed and jumped cartoon style into Fiyero's arms.
"Save me, darling! They are going to claw my beautiful eyes out. "Fiyero snickered.
"Firstly, dear, they are cats, and I think by the way that they are glaring at you that they are more afraid of you than you afraid of them. Wait a second; if you behave and don't attack me the cats won't attack you." Tugger walked up to the girl with the golden hair.
"Hello, can you tell me how you keep your fur so nicely groomed? My mane is losing its lustre." Galinda's face lit up.
"Of course I can help you. Why wouldn't I be able to? I am Galinda the good. Well, maybe not yet, but still. Do you know where Elphaba is?" Tugger was about to answer the question truthfully when Munkustrap stepped in.
"Who is Elphaba?" he asked, but being Munkustrap, he sucked at lying.
"Tell me where she is pretty kitty, or I will powder and sparkle you until you float. Now where is she?" Munkustrap pointed to Tugger's den. Elphaba screeched as Fiyero dragged her out, kicking and screaming. The cats were very sorry they had to turn her in, because there was a small issue of needing their future leader in a reasonably good condition for the upcoming jellicle ball.
Admentus asked softly why they needed Elphaba, and Galinda almost blew up. "Well, there is a great dance at Shiz, or at least a party and we are going to drag her there if it kills us. She even agreed to dress up because Fiyero was going to take her. So we have to spend lots and lots of time getting her ready because, to put it frankly my dear cat, she is not the most attractive book in the library."
That statement had angered Elphaba, who was now sitting on the ground like a toddler in a tantrum with a few kittens sitting on her and around her. "The most unattractive book in the library is often times the best on in there."
"Be quiet silly, we all know the ones with pictures are the best." Elphie's patience was wearing thin. She started to pet a variety of the cats snuggled up with her. Tugger started to walk up to Fiyero to see if he would help him with his dry mane problems, but Galinda grabbed him and started to groom the Maine coon.
When she had finished grooming him, most of the kittens had hatched a great idea. They wanted to have this party there, so they could dance too, and sing, as well as see Elphaba's dress. This was already discussed with Munkustrap, who somehow approved, but they were going to beg Galinda until it could happen.
"Galinda, do you think that you can hold the party here? Pretty, pretty, please?" asked Jemima, who was suddenly excited. Most of the time she thought things like these was wastes of time and no fun, but after getting to know Elphaba she wanted to see this dress.
"I like that idea little kitten. Let me go and get the dress, Fiyero and Munkustrap must keep Elphie here or else I will sparkle them and make them all pretty." Once she had left, Fiyero had a smug smirk on his face.
"Why does Elphie even have to dress up?" asked Nana, who was against human cruelty. The first act of being against this type of cruelty was sending the Rum Tum Tugger's owner a gift. Fiyero's smug smirk grew into a grin, and made most of the queens' swoon.
"Galinda wanted to go dress shopping ahead of time for the dance, and so she dragged me and Elphaba with her, because I was dating her at the time. Elphaba was just studying alone in the library and so she decided to take her with. After many minutes of coaxing and a threat to 'Galindaize' all of her books, we had gotten Elphaba into a dress. Though she had put it on, she wouldn't go out of the changing room. Galinda went in because she could, and I really wanted to see if she did look as stunning as Galinda said, and so I tried to get her out. I had to ask her to the dance in order to see the dress." Tugger went up to Fiyero and gave him a loud meow, one equivalent to a high five.
Minutes passed, and then they turned into a few hours as they waited for Galinda to come back to the junkyard with the things she needed and to alert all the partygoers that the junkyard was holding the dance. So the cats decided that they were going to teach Fiyero how to dance. Elphaba refused to come out of Tugger's den, which she had reinstated herself in. Mistoffelees was teaching him, as he was probably the best male dancer in the junkyard. No one was going to bicker with that statement, as they thought that it was true.
It seemed almost, that stepping and spinning and leaping were a little out of Fiyero's small dance vocabulary, as he kept falling on his face. Victoria was helping Mistoffelees and the brothers were keeping Elphaba company. John was conjuring little paper flowers to float in the air. Josh was making jokes out of Fiyero's miserable failures at dancing. Sooner or later, they heard familiar screeches of desperation, and almost all of the queens in the junkyard went to Jennyanydots' kitten nursery to get Elphaba ready for the dance.
Many Ozians were starting to show up for the dance. Many of the mated pairs were dancing or something close to that together, so the single toms were left to be greeters. Many were wearing bright colours and sporting perky hair do's but that was all in style in London right then. Plato and Fiyero were sitting in the corner, waiting for the great moment. Galinda was going with Boq, who was also sitting in the corner with the other two mopey creatures.
"Will she ever hurry up?" Fiyero asked for the millionth time it seemed.
"No, why would that happen? You are talking about Galinda right? My dear friend, when did you start drinking?" Plato chuckled. He was the only one who wasn't happily with someone or had a date, but frankly, the queen he wanted was already out of the question. Happy thoughts think happy thoughts, which was his motto.
"I could always go and spy on the queens." he then offered, and though Boq said yes, Fiyero said no. "Then stop complaining." That shut the two up for a reasonably long time afterwards. Soon Elphaba was being lead to the junkyard by Galinda. The queens had made it to the junkyard much faster, but they also were lighter and quicker on their feet as well as living there had its perks.
Elphaba's dress was beautiful, as it was a strapless, black and floor length number, with a loose and layered skirt, as well as a drooping bow around the waist. Her hair was pinned up in a very elegant bun, and she was carrying shoes in her one hand that she usually had a book in. the heels were rather large. To summarize, she was the most beautiful girl among the Ozians that night.
"Kaitlin, do you know where I can put the shoes? There is no way in Oz that I will wear those." Kaitlin gestured to a spot that also had a large collection of pink sweaters and purses. Fiyero then came to claim his date. She looked so magnificent, that he had slapped himself because he hadn't thought about how much he loved her beforehand.
"You know Elphie; I think that I might actually love you."
"I think I might love you back too, don't worry. You are not alone." She laughed and then they danced the rest of the night away.
Galinda rejoiced in her glory as she got her most reluctant friend to actually dress up and go on a partial date, and possibly set her up with someone. Fiyero was so happy that he realized his feelings for her right then or he might have missed out on some great things. Even happier that she actually loved him back. Tomorrow at Shiz all he would hear about was how he danced with Elphie and how he enjoyed it, and he did. But it wasn't their business.
That night all of the traces of Oz had left, and they just had the memories. Everything was refocused into getting ready for the jellicle ball, the summer one. There would have been one ordered anyways, because there was a great increase in the population for the tribe, but it was about to get bigger.
