WITCHES, REUIONS, and FAMILY… OH MY!

Chapter 1

Is It Really You

As she walked through the long halls of the emerald palace, Glinda couldn't help but think of her only true friend, one she had lost just over 5 years ago to a pale of water. She thought of her dear friend on this day because this had been the day when an outcast green girl rose from the palace sky light into the sky to become the most notorious villain in all of OZ. This had been the day when her dear friend, Elphaba Thropp, had become the Wicked Witch of the West.

Glinda slowly walked up the stairs of the palace tower the room where Elphaba had flown away not 8 years earlier. "Oh Elphie," she sighed " why'd you have to leave me all alone? I'm not like you… I cant make a difference… I can't do it alone…"

"You don't have to."she could almost hear Elphaba's stern, comforting voice. She could almost feel the green woman's hand on her shoulder.

"Oh Elphaba! I miss you so, so much"

Fiyero sat in a chair on in the corner of Elphaba's office, where she her self had spent much of her time over the past 5 years in there home at Kiamo Ko castle, and watched her intently as she rummaged through her things searching for another element for yet another spell to change him back to a human.

"Grrrr! Where the hell did I put that damn snake eye?" she yelled as a jar of preserved berries flew across the room.

"Um Elle, sweetie, why in OZ would you need snake eyes to change me back," Fiyero asked unsure he wanted the answer.

"It helps with the pain."

"Pain? There's gonna be pain involved this one?" said Fiyero, trying not to sound to scared of what may happen.

" Yero there will be pain if I don't find that snake eye!" An pieces of paper were fying every where by now and poor Fiyero had to dodge various other flying objects of a hard and painful nature.

"Uh Elle, sweetheart? Calm down why don't ya. Huh? Don't want anyone getting hurt"

"Ah none of this'll hurt you Fiyero! You're a freakin' scarecrow for OZ sakes!" she was still screaming and throwing things in the air.

By the time she found it Fiyero was down stairs cooking dinner. It was nine o'clock at night.

"Fiyero! I found it!" said Elphaba as she ran down the stairs "Come on"

She ran up behind her true love and grabbed his arms and dragged him up the stairs to perform her spell. "Sit," she pushed him into a small wooden chair "this won't hurt a bit."

Fiyero sat in stunned silence as Elphaba, the woman he loved, chanted a spell. As she chanted, he thought to him self, it sounds almost like a song when she chants the strange words of the spells she performs.

"Fal tum atum a te tu tum a la mu tum fema chantie" she sang "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah fal tum atum a te tu tum a la mu
