Thanks DhampyrX2 for pointing out some valuable details to be and the fact I was rushing it. I'll attempt to slow it down to an appropriate pace. What do you think Theodora should call Oz/Oscar? I felt I owed you guys another chapter quick for a bad start.

Theodora woke up in her bed, but she didn't remember going to sleep. Heck, she barley remembered the day before, things went by like a blur, neither Evanora had been seen but Oscar had told her not to worry- even though he seemed to be worried himself. Natalie, the little China girl was like the sister she never had. She was fun, with none of the dull seriousness Evanora had. Theodora rubbed her eyes and groaned as she propped herself up on her elbows, realizing she was still wearing her usual red coat.

There in the armchair beside her bed sat Oscar, his head resting on his head.

Theodora jumped back at the thought that he had watched as he slept.

"What the hell-" She started.

Oscar smiled slyly and shrugged, "You're pretty when you sleep."

Theodora bit her lip, "Don't even try that with me. I saw the way you were with Glinda, you have the nerve? AND, and after you seduce my sister and leave without a word?" The horrible memories came back to her, almost making her wish she'd eaten the apple.

Oz sat up with a bewildered expression on his face. "What is wrong with you? You seemed fine yesterday- and that was nothing, Glinda needed someone- and your sister, seriously?"

Theodora rolled her eyes.

"Like I would be able to talk to you with Natalie around? I'd scar her for life if I talked about what a… a womanizer you were in front of her! And sure, Glinda needed you, how many women have needed you?" She was seething with anger; she was surprised that her hands hadn't burned through the sheets yet. But she didn't realize how deeply her words affected him. How true they were, even though they were said out of spite.

The silence was broken when Oz spoke.

"I'm sorry Theodora, really-"

But he never got to finish his sentence, because in the middle of it Glinda burst into the room and her eyes darted from Oscar to Theodora. She noticed that Natalie was cradled in one arm and Finley was hovering above her right side carrying Oscar's suitcase.

"We have to go, now." Glinda said urgently.

"No! How can I know to trust you? After what happened to Father? And you," Theodora whipped around to Oscar, "Maybe my sister was right; maybe you were with her all along!"

"Please, Theodora we have to get out of here- I'll explain everything, just please." Glinda was desperate, she was pleading. Theodora had never seen or heard her plead before, it scared her. By the look in her eyes she could tell she was serious, maybe she could trust her…

"I'll go- but where's Evanora?"

Glinda's jaw tightened as she looked at Oscar who just shrugged.

"As I said before, I'll explain later." She said.

Theodora hesitated for a moment again but then nodded.

"Then we better hurry." She said gravely.

The next thing she knew she was running out of the Emerald city, receiving odd looks from the citizens, that is until they started running in terror. Theodora looked behind her to see what was going on and saw the incoming dark cloud of flying monkeys.

"Glinda! Aren't those yours? GET RID OF THEM!" She yelled to the girl in front of her.

Glinda glanced behind her to see what she was talking about.

"They're not mine, never were!" She yelled over her shoulder.

"How do you guys talk and run at the same? I already have like, no energy."

Both witches rolled their eyes at his ignorance of the serious situation.

Theodora ran to catch up with them and took them by the arm leading them through a small door beside the main entrance that was hidden fairly well.

"I don't remember that being there." Glinda commented.

Theodora turned to her panting slightly,

"A lot has changed since you left," after a short pause she added, "sister."

A/N: Reviews :)? Anyway right now I'm learning Fireside Dance on the piano, more or less by ear but it's turning out pretty well. It's a beautiful song- the one when Theodora and Oz were dancing if you didn't catch it by the name. There are also a few rumors that Universal is making a movie adaption of Wicked, but I highly doubt it- it's just interesting.

Disney with: Oz the Great and Powerful VS. Universal with: Wicked.
