Chapter 4
Lin's POV
I was star gazing out on my balcony when I saw the most sweetest thing I had seen.
Dimitir was carrying Megan in his strong arms. Her head was tucked in his chest, his head
laid on her's. "Oh mom." I said towards my room motioning her to come and see the
scene. "What Lin." I smiled wildly and pointed. "Look," I whispered easily. She gasped
and smiled enthusiastically, placing her hand over mine that was sitting on the stone rail of
the balcony. 'Well, I guess all that wishing you have done has come true." She joked with
a smile. I nodded when I saw a smile grow across Megan's face. Then I tensed up. Did she
know that I was watching her right now. "Come on Lin. I am really enjoying this right
now." "Oh sorry." Wait what! It was really happening then. It wasn't just me today. Meg
and I can really communicate through our thoughts. Wow, this this is just amazing. My
mind finally wrapped around the feeling of astonishment. I wonder if Mom and Jen could
talk like Meg and I? I looked to Mom to try and read her face, but it was in between a
decision and memories. "Come on Mom let's give them some privacy." I said gently
nudging her arm and walking back into Meg's and my room. Mom had all kinds of clothes
spread ever where. All over the bed, floor and some hanging on my mirror. It looked like
she was looking for something in particular. "Wow, did a tornado hit this place?" I joked
picking up some of the clothes. Mom chuckled easily. She seemed more tense than usual.
But I push the thought away. "Oh Lin, I have the perfect thing for you to where
tomorrow." Mom said hiding the tension in her voice as she became very bubbly and
excited. I knew then that she just wanted to forget about what she was thinking then.
Mom and I had been spending a lot of time together lately. Along with Dad and Elphie.
But sometimes Mom would sneak up here after Meg went star gazing through the garden
and we would sit out on the balcony and watch the stars, while talking about what it was
like before I came along and what I did when I was with Jen and Elphie. It was so relaxing
to me when we did this. It made my mind seem more clearer and gave me feeling like I
was even more closer to Mom. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts I had not notice Mom
leave the room and come back with a big square old looking white box. Dust covered it
form top to bottom. Mom sat it on the bed trying to get rid of the dust but all that did was
make us both go into a coughing fit. "I thought since that blue and pink dress is all you
have beside the yellow one I made you, I was thinking that you might like this." Mom
explained with a smile as she lifted off the lid quickly with eager. She pulled the white
paper that cover a beautiful sparkle pink dress. Every detail was just perfect. From the
rainbow stitching to the fluffy end of the dress. I gasped pulling the dress out. "Oh Mom
it's perfect but why does it seem so familiar?" I asked holding the dress in front of me and
twirling around the room like I was dancing. My laughed even harder this time. "Because
it was the dress I wore." I stopped dead in my tracks. The dress she wore. No this
couldn't be it. Mom walked over to me and let her hand begin to play with my curls. Mom
loved doing it, I don't know why but it relaxed her sometimes. "This was the dress I wore
when I went to the Ozdust Ballroom party with Fiyero. My first party at Shiz." My mouth
dropped wide open while I looked down to the dress. "Mom, seriously? You want me to
wear this?' I asked happily. She nodded pulling me into her arms. "Yes I do. You look just
like me and well why not bring some old memories back for Elphie and Fiyero." She
explained with joy. I giggled breaking the hug and placing the dress easily on Meg's bed. I
had a feeling she wouldn't be in my room tonight. I giggled at the thought. "Well, get
some sleep tonight okay sweetheart." Mom said giving me a kiss on the forehead right on
my snowflake. It made me feel happy when she did this. I admired my marks and I guess I
loved it when others did too. "Alright goodnight Mom, Love you." I said pushing the
clothes the off my bed and to the opening of my closet so I could crawl into bed as I put
on my nightgown.
"Love you too sweetheart. Sleep tight." Mom said shutting the door with ease and flipping
off the lights. I felt a sense of calm come over me when the moonlight began to fill my
room. My heart was filled with excitement for tomorrow, A ball, dancing, music, maybe
even Dimitri proposing to Meg. Who knew what tomorrow held? A smile grew on my
face as I fell asleep peacefully.
Meg's POV
I don't think I have ever smelled anything better than Dimitir. He smelled liked the Gillikin
mountains after rain giving him a fresh smell and mixed with a hit of honey. Oh did it not
fill my heart warmly. "Comfortable Love?" He whispered sweetly carrying me through the
dark hallways of the palace. I nodded easily and signed. "Well, here is your stop." He said
gentleman like and opened the door with his foot as quietly as he could trying not to wake
Lin up. Amazingly he didn't, the door opened without a sound. "Wow, it looks like Glinda
and Lin had a closet fight." He joked under his breathe as he managed to still carry me
while he maneuvered over piles of clothes. Sadly he made it to my bed and placed me
down gently. He pulled off my shoes with care and then pulled the covers over my body.
"There are you still comfortable?' He asked sweetly. "I am but not like I was when you
hold me." I answered with a smile. He chuckled easily. "Your eyes look so beautiful in the
moonlight. But that I can talk about another time. Get some sleep my beauty." He said
kissing me on the forehead then to my cheek and finally his lips brushed mine ever so
gently. "Goodnight Love." I whispered as sleep over come me.
Boq's POV
"Come on, come on. This had got to work." I was so frustrated. It had been a whole year
since that little brat had beaten Morrible and me. But thankfully she wasn't all that useless.
I looked to my human hand and just saw a small piece of tin still lingered there. But that
would be all over soon. This page was hard to decipher but I managed. "Okay, one last
incrediatant." I said pleased placing a root into the mixture. A patch of red smoke filled
the room and I couldn't keep myself from coughing. As the smoke cleared I saw that at
last it was finished. "Yes," I breathed picking up the potion that could bring me victory.
My heart filled with pride as I eyed the red potion feeling very please and ready.
"Tomorrow is the night Morrible. Don't worry you will be awake soon." I said even
though I was by myself. They all are going to pay. Every last one of them.
