"Today we have some very special guests that we shouldn't keep waiting. You will be able to ask them whatever you wish to know. Then we will play our game that they don't yet know about."
At this the group looked around at each other surprised and confused. Now a game? This would definitely be interesting if not embarrassing to any of them.
The audience clapped as the curtain was pulled back to reveal the five behind it. Elphaba winced slightly as the bright light met her eyes. Fiyero looked out at all the people there and then at her beside him. Boq shrunk down in his chair as Glinda rose beside him out of excitement. Gregory looked out at them all in the audience and hid his nerves behind a warm smile he gave to them.
"Alright. Well some of them don't need introductions."
He walked over to Gregory Maguire and smiled at the crowd.
"This is Gregory Maguire. Acclaimed children's author."
"Children? They shouldn't be reading my story." Elphaba remarked from her end.
"This is a munchkinlander... uh..."
"Boq." Elphaba said leaning forward and watching him. Alex moved down the line his smile flickering slightly.
"Glinda the Good Witch of the North."
Glinda smiled and waved sweetly at the crowd as she sat forward and mild clapping rang out.
"This is..." He looked at Elphaba who sighed and looked out to the crowd. She stood and finished for him.
"This is Fiyero, prince of the Arjikis." Clapping went out across the audience as she finished.
"I am Elphaba the Wicked Witch of the West." She finished sitting back down. A roar of applause swept through the theatre and Elphaba seemed stunned in her seat.
