Hi people! Chapter 17, FINALLY! Sorry about the REALLY loooong wait! Flying monkeys for all of you! :)

Now, ON WITH THE SNOW! (Sorry, Global warming on the brain...) I MEAN SHOW!


Elphaba: *is trying to find a spell in the Grimmerie to de-scarecrow-ify Steven Schwartz*

Glinda: *is teaching her standby how to toss her hair*

Fiyero: *is doing stuff Fiyeros do*

Director: *still has wings, but has taken her rightful place back in her director's chair*

Boq: *is off somewhere hiding from Nessa*

Nessa: *is being her usual clingy, stalker-ish self*

Nurse: *is being carted away to the hospital's mental ward*

Wizard: *is lost somewhere*

Director: *pulls out her megaphone* ALRIGHTY PEOPLE! LET'S GET THIS SCENE STARTED!

Elphaba's Girl: *raises her hand* Um, where's the Wizard?

Director: *looks around* ELPHABA! WHERE'S THE WIZARD?

Elphaba: HOW THE HECK SHOULD I KNOW? ASK MORRIBLE!

Morrible: *looks confused* WHAT?! I DON'T SPEAK FRENCH!

Director: Oookaaay...*pulls out a copy of the Grimmerie* HEY! ONE OF YOU STANDBYS GET UP HERE!

Standbys: *fight and claw each other to get offstage*

TheWickedRae: *makes it out of the catfight first* I AM WILLING TO DO IT WHATEVER IT IS!

Director: *chucks the Grimmerie at her* Go find the Wizard.

TheWickedRae: *is excited* YAAAAAAY! OKAY! *says a random spell and disappears in a puff of smoke*

Elphaba: HEY, NO FAIR! WHAT SPELL IS THAT?! I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A SPELL LIKE THAT IN THERE! NOT FAIR!

Director: *chucks a soda can at Elphaba* NO! BAD ELPHABA!

Elphaba: *throws the soda can back at her and hits her in the head*

Director: *swears words not suitable for F F .net*

Elphaba: Aw, COME ON! DRAMATIC MUCH? I DIDN'T THROW IT THAT HARD!

Director: *sticks her tongue out at Elphaba* ALRIGHT! CUE THE SCENE! ANYBODY WHO'S NOT IN THIS SCENE GET OFF THE STAGE BEFORE I THROW A PEPSI AT YOUR HEAD!

*Boq, Morrible, Nessa, Throppsister and Fiyero run offstage very VERY scared*

Director: HEY YOU! *chucks a soda at NellytheActress* WHY ARE YOU STILL ONSTAGE?

NellytheActress: *is slightly scared* I figured I could stay onstage since TheWickedRae left to go find the Wizard...

Director: *chucks a Pepsi at the other Elphaba standbys* ONE OF YOU GET OFF THE STAGE!

Elphaba standbys: *look at each other*

Wickedly Hope Pancake: I'm not getting off the stage!

Elphaba's Girl: Don't look at me!

Throppsister: *looks around* I'm not even an Elphaba standby! I'm the standby for Nessa!

Director: *looks ready to throw a whole box of soda at the standbys* WELL...ONE OF YOU HAD BETTER GET OFF THIS STAGE BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO ALL OF YOU!

Doglover645: *runs onstage* WAIT! I WANNA STANDBY FOR NESSA!

Director: OH FOR THE LOVE OF OZ!

Nessa: *acts all Galinda-like* YAAAY! I GET ANOTHER STANDBY! YEEEEEE! *hugs Doglover645*

NellytheActress: *whispers to Elphaba's Girl* What's wrong with Nessa?

Elphaba's Girl: *looks over at Elphaba, who is still hugging her new standby* I'm guessing heatstroke. We've been onstage for more than three hours.

*Nessa is now doing Gangnam style*

Elphaba's Girl: *nods* Yup. Definitely Heatstroke.

NellytheActress: Oh.

TheWickedRae: *runs onstage dragging a huge sack* HEY PEOPLE GUESS WHAT I'M BACK!

Nessa: HEY GUESS WHAT! WE GOT A NEW STANDBY! *falls over from heatstroke*

Director: *facepalms*

TheWickedRae: NESSA! *ignores her and pushes the giant sack over to center stage* HEY! GUESS WHAT I FOUND IN THE TUNNELS UNDER THE STAGE!

Wickedly Hope Pancake: OOH! OOH! RUMPELSTILTSKIN!

NellytheActress: *slaps her*

TheWickedRae: NO! ANY OTHER GUESSES?

Doglover645: Umm...a million dollars?

TheWickedRae: NO! *the sack starts moving so she kicks it* You people are TERRIBLE at guessing!*pulls a very confused Wizard out of the sack* IT'S THE WIZARD FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

Everybody: Ohhhhhh...

Director: *facepalms*

Doglover645: *looks slightly disturbed* Umm...why is he tied up?

Wizard: *has a gag over his mouth* MMmmmPHFFffm!

TheWickedRae: So he wouldn't try to run away of course!

NellytheActress: Oookaaay... *backs away slowly*

Wickedly Hope Pancake: *stares at the Wizard* I think he's trying to eat the gag on his mouth...

*others turn to stare at the Wizard*

TheWickedRae: *throws a Pepsi at the Wizard*

Wizard: *spazzes out* Mmmmphfffff!

Director: *flies onstage* OKAY! TORTURE TIME IS OVER! *waves Glinda's wand over the Wizard* ALL BETTER!

Wizard: *is magically untied* YOU PEOPLE ARE NUTS! NUTS I TELL YOU! *tries to run away but trips and falls over Nessa*

Nessa: *wakes up* Um...OW!

Elphaba: *is watching them all and smiling* Soooo...Is the Wizard gonna sing now?

Wizard: NO! I AM NOT GOING TO SING FOR YOU CRAZY PEOPLE! YOU PEOPLE BELONG IN THE LOONY BIN!

Wickedly Hope Pancake: Uh, actually...the Nurse already got sent to the mental ward.

Wizard: *has nothing to say to that*

Wickedly Hope Pancake: *smiles*

Wizard: *looks around* Okay, how about this: I sing, and then I get to leave and never come back!

Director: Um...actually, the script says-

Elphaba: *interrupts her* DEAL!

Elphaba: Okay Wizard! You're done! *shoves him offstage* Okay! Next scene!

Doglover645: *wheels herself onstage in Nessa's chair* YAAAY! I WANNA SING!

Director: *flips through the script* We already did the Governor's mansion scene...

Throppsister: *chucks a Pepsi at the Director* We're gonna sing anyway!

Doglover645: WE?

Throppsister: Yes, We. *looks all dark and scary* You got a problem with that?!

Doglover645: *looks very scared* Noooo...

Elphaba: *looks over at Nessa* I see you've been teaching your standby the ways of the Nessa.

Nessa: *looks all proud* Yes, yes I have! *pauses* Wait...was that sarcasm?

Elphaba: *laughs*

Throppsister&Doglover645:

ALL OF MY LIFE I'VE DEPENDED ON YOU AND THIS HIDEOUS CHAIR WITH WHEELS!

SCROUNGING FOR SCRAPS OF PITY TO PICK UP

Director: BOQ! GET YOUR BUT OUT HERE!

Boq: *is backstage* NO!

Wickedly Hope Pancake: DON'T WORRY! I GOT THIS! *grabs a Pepsi and chucks it behind the stage*

Boq: OW! *falls onstage* I HATE YOU PEOPLE!

Director: BOQ! LET THE STANDBYS SHRINK YOUR HEART!

NellytheActress: OOH! OOH! I WANNA SHRINK ME A MUNCHKIN HEART!

Boq: *looks VERY scared* Why are all you people out to get me?

Throppsister: *pulls out the Grimmerie* A- tum Ah tum-

Boq: *chucks a Pepsi and knocks the book out of her hands* NO!

Throppsister: AW, COME ON!

Boq: HAHA! CAN'T CATCH ME NOW! AHAHAHHAHAHA! *runs offstage*

Doglover645: *gets up and runs after him* YOU GET BACK HERE MISTER! *jumps and tackles him*

Boq: *is very afraid* NOT THE FACE! NOT THE FACE!

Elphaba& her standbys: *are watching the whole thing*

Elphaba: HeY! Who wants to go to Red Robin?

Elphaba's girl: OOH OOH! ME!

Wickedly Hope Pancake: *giggles* RED ROBIN!

NellytheActress, Elphaba's Girl, TheWickedRae and Elphaba: YUMMMM!

Steven Schwartz: HELLO? SOMEBODY FORGET I'M STILL A SCARECROW?!
