Chapter One

"Go back, back, to the castle, you stupid bubble!" Daphne shouted. The future ruler of Oz let out a deep sigh. Her mother had enchanted the bubble to not go back to her home. "At least land! I am claustrophobic here!"

After a few minutes, the magical bubble landed and popped once it hit the ground. Daphne breathed in and out once it popped. She lay on the ground and took some more deep breaths.

Once she felt herself calm down, she began to look at her surroundings. She could not see that well because it was too dark outside, but from what she could tell she was in the woods outside of Oz possibly. She gulped. She hated being in the woods by herself, especially at night! She sighed. The only thing she could do at the moment was get some sleep, then find a way out of these woods, and then go back to the palace and rescue her parents. It was not a great plan, but at least it was a plan.

Using the Grimmerie as a pillow, the blonde haired woman went to sleep with her glasses on her face.

The next morning she woke up. She groaned. She was stiff, sore, and freezing from being on the ground all night. She got up and looked at her pajamas and let out a frustrated sigh. They were ruined! Her father had gotten them for her birthday; when he had went to the other world for work.

Once she was fully awake and able to think, she started to look for a way out of the woods. She walked for several minutes and as she did so; Daphne began to remember the story of how her parents had first met each other…

It had been an ordinary, peaceful day for Glinda the Good. Two years had passed since the death of her best friend Elphaba and her ex-fiancé. Even though it was years that had passed, to Glinda it only felt like days. Miserable days! She had no one to talk to about any of her problem, nor did she have any one to help her rule Oz. Her job was very stressful, but at least peace was starting to come between the human and Animals that was something that Elphie would have rejoiced over!

The sound of the throne room doors opening caused her to be distracted by her thoughts. She looked up. The guards had brought in a prisoner, a male prisoner, to precise.

"Glinda the Good, we found this man wandering in the woods. I believe the Wizard sent him from the other world to check on things," the captain of the guard told her.

Oh, great! I do not want to prepare a war against Elphaba's biological father, but I will if I must. He will not rule Oz like he did last time! The good witch thought.

"I do not know what you guys are talking about!" The man exclaimed. "I was walking in the woods, and fell through a hole and landed here! I do not even know where 'here' is!"

Glinda studied the man. He seemed to be her age, possibly older. He was rather handsome. He had brown hair and bright blue eyes. For a brief moment she reminded him Fiyaro. The way he looked at her told her he was telling the truth, and getting to Oz on accident was possible. The Wizard had done it!

"What is your name, young man?" She questioned.

"William Anderson, your Highness," he replied.

"Well, Mister Anderson, how about I help you find your way back home?"

"I would greatly appreciate that, Mam."

After hours of walking, Daphne finally made it out of the woods. She smiled as she saw the familiar yellow brick road. She looked at her outfit. Her torn up pajamas were definitely not going to do for fighting in the palace; not to mention she had scratches on her body too.

A smile crept upon her face. She knew where she could go to get clothes that would fit her, and where to get her wounds cleaned up!
