A week later Morrible walked down the hall to the Wizard's throne room with pride in her step. She opened the large wooden door and declared with an evil smile, "Today's the day!"

The Wizard came out from behind his head with an evil smile as well, "In a few hours we'll have the most powerful woman in Oz on our side."

Morrible's expression turned to hatred and she muttered a chant under her breath causing pain to shoot through the wizard's body. The Wizard cleared his throat, "I um… meant the second most powerful…"

Morrible nodded, picked up the Grimmerie and left slamming the door on her way out.

"She's sensitive," the wizard muttered under his breath which was soon followed by another sharp pain in his body.

Elphaba sat on the train next to a dozing Glinda. She had a notebook in her hands and was writing down what she was going to say to the wizard and how she was going to inform him about the Animals losing their speech. She was convinced he would be truly concerned and want to help right away. She glanced out the train window and noticed thing were starting to look more Ozmopolition. Only a few more stops and they would be at the Emerald City. She wondered when she should wake Glinda, but after glancing down at her blank page she decided to put that off. She needed the peace and quiet to last and long as possible.

Elphaba glanced down at the beautiful bouquet of poppies near her bag. A smile crossed her face as she picked them up and smelled them. Thoughts of Fiyero filled her mind. It was so hard to find non poisonous poppies in Oz; so far she was still alive so she knew these poppies had to be extremely rare. Had Fiyero gone out of his way to buy her an extremely rare bouquet of poppies? It made her heart flutter and she wondered if there was any chance he shared the same feeling for her as she felt for him. She shook her head. How could she think such a thought?! He was Glinda's boyfriend for Oz sake and she knew they were a perfect couple and born to be together so why would anyone especially a prince love a hideous green girl such as herself?

"Next stop the Emerald City," a voice announced over the speaker system, breaking Elphaba's train of thought. She looked down at her still blank notebook page and sighed. I guess I'll just have to wing this meeting and hope it goes well, she thought to herself. Elphaba glanced over at Glinda and decided she shook wake her.

She shook Glinda's shoulders gently, "Glinda you have to wake up now."

"Just give me a few more minutes," Glinda mumbled, waving her arm and accidentally slapping Elphaba across the face. Elphaba lost it and stood up, causing Glinda's head to drop slightly, and grabbed her bottle of water and "accidentally" dumped some of it onto Glinda's face causing some of her make up to smear.

Glinda jolted and sat up, "What was that for," she screeched.

"You wouldn't wake up," Elphaba stated, but Glinda didn't hear her. She was too busy looking at herself in a mirror.

"Elphie! You ruined my make up! I can't go into the Emerald City looking tragic!"

"How do you think I feel everyday," Elphaba muttered under her breath.

"Elphie…," Glinda said trailing off. Elphaba didn't pay any attention to her and grabbed her bags and headed towards the exit. Glinda tried to follow Elphaba, but she couldn't move very fast in her large dress. Why must they make these aisles so narrow, she thought.

Glinda finally caught up to Elphaba, who was also now wearing a pair of green glasses. She was standing still and looked memorized. Glinda approached her wondering what the spectacle was. She turned to where Elphaba's gazed was fixed and her mouth dropped. There lay the entire Emerald City before there eyes. It was down a pathway, but from where they stood they had a perfect view overlooking the Emerald City. "It's so grand," Glinda finally managed to say.

"It's so green," Elphaba whispered.

Elphaba grabbed Glinda's hand, "Come with me to the Emerald City," she said. Glinda smiled at Elphie's use of the same sentence she had said a few days ago. "I've always wanted to see the Emerald City," she said finishing off their quote. The grabbed there bags and walked down the pathway.

They arrived at the gates and were let in. Glinda took in her first site of the Emerald City and squealed so loud it caused the gates doorbell to shatter. The guard looked a little angry, but didn't say anything. A man ran up to Glinda and handed her a pamphlet. Glinda opened it up and a smile lit up her face. "Elphie what time is your meeting with the Wizard?"

"It's around 3, why?"

Glinda glanced up at the clock on one of the buildings, 10:15. She then glanced down at the tickets for the show. Show starts at 10:30 sharp; ticket receivers will be seated on a first come first serve basis. "So we have some spare time in the city," Glinda asked nonchalantly.

"Yeah… I suppose…"

"Than c'mon we'll be late for Wizomania," Glinda shrieked, grabbed Elphaba by her wrist, and pulled her towards the theater.

Three hours later, the girls emerged from the theater with smiles on their faces. They then went to a nearby restaurant to eat lunch before Elphaba's meeting with the Wizard. Elphaba was so nervous she wasn't hungry, but she ate anyways.

It was 2:30 so the girls started heading towards the Palace. They told the guard who they were and he allowed them to enter and led them to the Wizard's throne room door. "Enter at your own risk," he told them and then walked away. Both Glinda and Elphaba look puzzled, but didn't say anything. Elphaba opened the door and walked in, Glinda close on her heels. The door slammed shut causing both girls to jump.

"I am Oz! I am Oz the great and terrible," a large golden head boomed causing Glinda to cower behind Elphaba. "Who are you and why do you seek me?"

"I am… I am Elphaba your terribleness… and this is…" Elphaba was about to say Glinda, but was cut off by a friendly sounding voice, "Oh, is that you? Elphaba I didn't realize. The head then shut off and an older looking man came out from behind it. "I hope I didn't startle you," the wizard said to the clearly frightened girls. "It's so hard to make out people's faces when I am back there," he explained. He then introduced himself to both Elphaba and Glinda. He informed them the head is just what people 'expect' and he has to give people what they want. The Wizard then informed them of what he didn't like to tell most people, "People rarely get to meet the real me," he said, "but this is a special occasion."

"I am so happy to meet you," Elphaba told him, "but I must inform you something bad is happening to the An-"

"Please I am the Wizard of Oz, I already know why you've come," he said cutting Elphaba off.

"Oooo," Glinda said sounded astonished.

The wizard told Elphaba she must prove herself and cast a spell and then introduced them to his new press secretary, Madame Morrible. The girls were shocked that Morrible and the Wizard now worked together.

Morrible showed Elphaba The Grimmerie and the wizard told Elphaba she should cast a levitation spell since his servant monkey, Chistery, always wanted to fly.

Elphaba started to read the spell, but stopped when Chistery fell to the floor shrieking in pain.

"Chistery are you alright," Elphaba asked worried. Wings suddenly shot out from Chistery's back. "He is in pain! How do I reverse it?"

"You can't reverse it, Spells are irreversible," Morrible lied. "I knew she had the power. I told you," Morrible said excitedly to the Wizard.

The Wizard showed Elphaba what she had done and all of the flying monkeys. Elphaba looked like she was going to faint.

"Won't they make perfect spies?"

"Spies," Elphaba asked mortified.

Morrible started to chant a spell under her breath.

"Spies," Elphaba asked again, "That's a perfect idea!"

An evil grin let up Morrible's face.

"What," Glinda shrieked, "Elphie what are you thinking?"

"I think it's about time we got rid of the Animal race!"

Glinda looked shocked.

"Morrible, will you show Glinda to her guest room please. She doesn't look well and Elphaba and I need to have a private chat."

"Of course your Excellency," Morrible said and led Glinda away.

"Make sure she doesn't get away," The wizard hissed under his breath.

"Of course," Morrible responded and then she and Glinda were gone.

"So," The Wizard said turning his attention to Elphaba, "I have been having trouble with this one Animal who has been speaking out and I was wondering if you could help."

"Of course, take me to them."

The wizard led Elphaba to a dark room off of his throne room. It was filled with cages and tons of animal noises. Elphaba followed the Wizard to the last cell. A Goat glared at the Wizard. "What do you waaaant," it asked.

The Wizard for Elphaba to come out of the shadows "I would like you to meet-"

"Elphabaaaaa," the Goat said happily cutting the wizard off. Elphaba narrowed her eyes. "Elphabaaa I must tell you. The wizaaard is behind all of this. Don't listen to him he is evil!"

"Silence goat," Elphaba said and waved her arm in a swift motion causing the Goat to drop to the floor.

"Baaaa," the goat said and went to nibbling a piece of dirt of its fur.

The wizard looked shocked, "wonderful," he managed to say. This girl was amazing! Where had she been all of his life? With her powers he could destroy the Animal race in a few months! "Well, it's getting late," the Wizard lied, "your probably exhausted you should get some rest for your new job starting tomorrow as my Magic Grand Vizier."

Elphaba nodded and thanked him for the job position, then left the room.

A smile crossed the Wizard's face. Wait until he told Morrible about their 'meeting' she would be so thrilled!

Glinda sat locked in her bedroom the Wizard had 'kindly' given her. She wasn't tired. All she could think about was Elphaba's sudden change in mind about the Animals. Something was definitely up and she had to get to the bottom of it.

It's depressing... I know... it depresses me...but I wrote it anyways... I apologize for the depressing plot. Please forgive me :
