Day 14: Fortune Teller
It was a bright day when Elphaba and Glinda were returning from a day of shopping. As they passed along the street something caught Glinda's eye.
"Oh look, Elphie, a fortune teller! Let's get our fortune told!" The blonde said, as she jumped up and down.
"I don't know," Elphaba answered, she clearly looked unsure about the whole thing.
"Oh, come on, it will be fun," Glinda replied, as she dragged the green woman inside the building.
Once they entered they saw a boney women wearing strange clothes. She was sitting behind table. On the table was as a crystal ball and some candles. Once she saw them she greeted them.
"Ah, more travelers seeking answers about their future. Come and sit and let us see what's in your future."
Glinda gave a squeal as she pulled Elphaba over. The green woman only sighed as she placed a few coins on the table in front of the fortune teller.
"Now who wants to go first?" The fortune teller asked.
"Ooh, I do, I want to go first!" Glinda nearly shouted.
"Very well." The fortune teller answered, as she looked deeply into her crystal ball. The crystal ball filled with a white smoke for a moment or two before it settled.
"Ah, I see your future now. It's a good one. Yes, yes, it is. I foresee you making a big impression in Oz, or I should say a good impression in Oz. You will be far more popular then you are now as well."
"I like the sound of that." Glinda said, with a smile, as she nudged Elphaba. "Tell Elphaba's future next."
The fortune teller nodded her head before staring at her crystal ball once again. The crystal ball filled up with smoke once again but only this time is was black smoke instead of white. Once the smoke disappeared silence came over the room.
"Well what's my future?" Elphaba asked, her voice monotone.
"I'm afraid like your past your future will be a rocky one," The fortune teller answered. "You will deal with more hardships. Well this is odd..."
"What is it?" Glinda asked.
"For some reason the word wicked keeps popping up. The word wicked will effect your future. It will effect it in ways you never thought."
"I had enough of this," Elphaba growled. "Come on Glinda we're leaving." With that the green woman stood up and exited in anger.
"Elphie, wait!" Glinda called out.
"Some people just can't take the truth," The fortune teller replied with a shrug of her shoulders.
Glinda didn't answer as she hurried to follow her green girlfriend. She quickly found her kicking the ground with her boot.
"Oh, Elphie, don't get all bent out of shape about this. That fortune teller was just trying to scare you," Glinda said, as she walked over to her and stroked a green arm. "Besides there is no guarantee that any of what she said would come true. Come on you know that. It's all just for fun. No one every believes what they say will come true,"
"I know...it's just it would have been nice if I didn't get such a negative reading," Elphaba answered with a heavy sigh.
"True," Glinda replied as she kissed her green love on the corner of her mouth.
"Well at least I have one good thing that I know will be in my future," Elphaba said, with a grin.
"And what's that?" The blonde asked.
Elphaba's grin just grew wider as she answered, "You."
