PLEASE READ! IMPORTANT NEWS! Hey everybody! Welcome to chapter two! I know that the last chapter did have a few spelling and grammar mistakes, and I really want to apologize for that I feel really bad! Can you forgive me? Also, thank you sooooooo much to all of the reviewers! It means a lot!
Elphaba jumped into the portal after Fiyero. She had her eyes closed tightly and was cringing. I'm falling, soon I will hit the bottom of this pit and it all will be over. I tried to make it through this with Fiyero alive! All I ever wanted was to be happy! Elphaba thought. She accepted her unfortunate fate and for a moment, everything went black.
Elphaba, still with her eyes closed and fists balled, came out the other side of the portal which was part of the ground for a few seconds, before closing under her. Elphaba opened her eyes and looked around. "Am I dead? Is this heaven?" she looked around. There were trees everywhere and a road was about fifteen feet from where she was standing.
"Fae? It's alright, I'm here." Fiyero tried to reassure the green girl. He was standing behind her with his hand on her shoulder.
"Unnamed god is that you? I'm sorry for all the people I hurt! I had good intentions!"
"ELPHABA! It's me, Fiyero!" he stepped in front of her.
"Yero, are we dead?"
"No, we just went through a portal. It's ok."
"Oh thank goodness ... but… where are we?" Elphaba asked.
The two looked at a sign by the road near them. "It says welcome to Rockport." Fiyero said.
"What is Rockport?" Elphaba asked.
"It looks like some sort of town." Fiyero replied not really knowing the answer himself.
The witch and the not-so-scarecrow-anymore-man walked up street. When they got to the top of the small hill, what they saw surprised them. There were houses and people and cars. "Oh my!" said Elphaba "we are sure going to look suspicious here!"
"Act natural, people won't notice so much if we look like normal people."
"But what if someone knows who we are?" Elphaba started getting worried.
"Fae, were in an alternate universe. I don't think anyone will ever recognize us!" they walked around the town for the rest of the day and they quickly learned some things. First, people did look at them funny, but no one seemed to know exactly who they were or where they were from. Second, there were these scary looking thing called cars driving along the road and it was best to stay out of their way.
Soon, it was evening time. Fiyero and Elphaba went to a forest for the night. "Fiyero, you know that we can't just keep living in the woods right? Eventually, we are going to want a decent place to live."
"I know, we can worry about that tomorrow though, we need rest now. You know what I always say. The more sleep the better!"
"Fiyero, we can't just be lazy all the time anymore, we have a serious situation…" Elphaba stopped talking because Fiyero was already asleep. She sighed. Oh well, at least we are not dead! Fiyero's right. We can sort everything out tomorrow. Elphaba fell asleep a few minutes after Fiyero.
The next morning, Fiyero and Elphaba started trying to figure out where they were going to stay in the long run. There was an inn that they decided to check out. Maybe they could get a room, at least for that coming night.
The two walked in and the lady at the front desk looked quite surprised to see them. "Um, can I help you?" she asked not so politely.
"Yes, we need a room for the night." said Fiyero. Elphaba elbowed him as if to say 'hey! I do all the talking!'
"We have one available; it is 50 dollars per night." Elphaba and Fiyero looked at each other for a second like 'what?', since there was different money in Oz.
Fiyero reached into his pocket and found what he thought was ozian money. He looked at it and with surprise say a few green hundred dollar bills. He took one of them and handed it to the lady at the desk. "We'll take it, please." He said "OW" Elphaba elbowed him again.
"Do you have change?" Elphaba asked
"Yes." Said the lady and she gave Elphaba 50 dollar's change.
"Thank you! We will be back at around 8."
Elphaba grabbed Fiyero's sleeve and dragged him to the door in order to avoid further questions, but it didn't work so well. "Hey, where are you two from?" she asked.
Fiyero spoke "we are from Oz- OW! Ozterville!" he said quickly after Elphaba elbowed him again. The lady raised an eyebrow, but Elphaba dragged Fiyero out the door before more questions could possibly be asked. Once outside Elphaba asked Fiyero "What in Oz do you think you were doing in there? Ozterville!? Really?"
"I'm sorry I just thought of something quick!"
"Fiyero! You almost said 'Oz'! Did you see how suspicious she looked after that!?"
"I'm sorry Elphaba! I wasn't thinking!"
"Well, you better start thinking before you get us into serious trouble!"
Days passed and Fiyero and Elphaba had stayed at the inn for a week. Fiyero had gotten a job at a nearby Dunkin Doughnuts. Elphaba had gotten A LOT of tan makeup and had started painting herself tan every morning and job hunting for the rest of the day. One day, she saw an ad in the news paper that said "Rockport middle school needs an English teacher for the upcoming school year!" That's it!" Elphaba thought. She found a broom near the inn, and flew to the school for an interview. Elphaba had always had an interest in teaching, and now might just be her chance.
Elphaba parked the broom behind the school and hid it, and then she walked in to get interviewed for the job. She knew it would be a difficult interview, having to make up most of what she said and all, but she really wanted the job.
"Sit down miss." The interviewer said to Elphaba. "my name is Rose, and I will be interviewing you today, so first question, what's your name."
Elphaba thought about it for a second. "Uh, Emily."
"and your last name?"
"uh, Taber!" Yep! That's my name!
Rose raised an eyebrow and continued asking questions.
"Where are you from?"
This is going to be a long interview! Elphaba thought
By the end of the interview, Elphaba had gotten very good at making things up on the fly. She hoped she had sounded convincing. "Well, Miss Emily, I have good news, this was the only day for interviews and you were the only one who showed up, so you got the job. You start in a week, good luck."
Well, that's the end of the chapter! Make sure you review and I just want to tell everyone, this story was inspired by my English teacher who looks and acts JUST like Elphaba! Oh, this story will probably update every two days from now on! Bye!
