Elphaba? Glinda thought to herself, she's... alive? "Ummm, I have to go," she suddenly said rushing back through the hallway through the door, "Sorry! I just have some... uh... things to get done quickly!" she said over her shoulder.
Oh my Oz... Elphie's alive! My Elphie! she ran back to her room as fast as her heels could take her. And then in that split second she realized what the Wizard had just said, "Omioz, he's gonna... no! I can't let that happen!" she said out loud.
"Do you need something Your Goodness?" one of her servants asked her hearing the commotion.
"Oh no!" she said, "I'm fine!" then she added quietly, "Well not really..." She looked around the room trying to think of what she was going to do, I've never been that good at thinking... she said feeling defeated, But... but, I do know one thing she thought I am never going to let him hurt Elphaba. That's one thing I won't allow... well, and having him blow up Earth, but for now, I just need to find Elphie. She grabbed her wand and her purse and was off to get her bubble.
"Your Goodness!" someone cried as she exited the palace, and with that she had people surrounding her, calling her name, and bowing.
She usually didn't mind this, but she really needed to get going today, "Oh hello!" she said smiling towards them, "I would really love to stay and talk, but I have some important issues that need to be figured out!"she said waving, and with that she summonded her bubble.
Um, if I were Elphie where would I be? She thought a moment, and then it hit her smack in the face. "Kiamo Ko!" she exclaimed a little to loudly.
"Your Goodness?" an onlooker said obviously confused by her statement.
"Oh! Um, I was just thinking out loud! Sorry!" She stepped in her bubble and was off.
As she traveled over the land of Oz, she finally saw what she was looking for and slowed down a little. When she landed and got out, she saw some sort of strange creature come out through the door, look at her with eyes wide in shock and run back in wings and all. Wait! Wings!? "Yes!" she exclaimed in joy, "That was a flying monkey... now I'm sure she's here." she said walking towards the door. She tried opening it but it was locked, so she did the only thing there was to do.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
There was a silence so then she said, "Uh hello? Elphie? Um, if you're there, which for some reason I have a feeling you are," she added more to herself, "Well, it's um Glinda. Remember me? I was your best friend at Shiz... um... Oh who am I kidding?" she said giving up, "Elphaba would never let me in again after what happened."
"You know you're wrong." she heard a voice say behind her.
"Elphie?" she said whispering so it was barely audible.
"Yes Glinda, it's me."
Glinda turned around, "Oh Elphie!!" she exclaimed running back and embracing her green friend, "You're alive?! Oh Elphie it's so good to see you!" she started to cry into her friend's shoulder, "How could you do that to me? Leave me all alone? I was so scared Elphie, so worried!"
"I'm sorry my dear, but we thought it was better for you and safer for you not to know..."
Glinda looked up at her friend, "We?" she said skeptically.
"Yes, we." Elphaba said nodding, "Why don't you come in sweetheart?" she turned around motioning for her to follow.
Glinda smiled, "I missed you so much"
"As did I, as did I" she said embracing her friend again, "Now come, but... we have uhhh a few visitors, so don't be freaked out. They're all our friends."

"Elphaba it is so great to see you after all of this time. I just can't believe -" Glinda said eagerly.
"Glinda, I hate to break up this reunion and I am happy to see you too, but I have some major business that I need to attend to. You've heard, right?" Elphaba said.
"Yes, I have and it is horrible. It truly is."
"Every single person working for that terrible man deserves to die," Elphaba said with her temper rising.
"Oh Elphie, don't say that," Glinda said not making eye contact with Elphaba.
"Why? Oh Glinda please don't tell me you're on their side!" Elphaba exclaimed.
Glinda spoke, choking on her words, "Elphaba...I have something I need to tell you."
"I knew it. She is with them. She hasn't truly changed. There's no way she could resist that fortune and fame" Elphaba thought. She looked at Glinda waiting for her to continue.
"Elphie, you probably won't believe me, but what I am about to tell you is true." Glinda stuttered.
Elphaba began to grow impatient and rolled her eyes. "Glinda, I have more important things to attend to so if you're going to keep beating around -"
"Your sister is alive!" Glinda said.
Elphaba said nothing and the room was completely silent.
"She is working for the Wizard in the Emerald City. She helped him, Madame Morrible, and myself plot her fake death. And she is the one who wants to blow up the earth. She's the true mastermind behind all these plans."
Tears welled up in Elphaba's eyes. She could not believe what she was hearing.
"Oh Elphie! I wanted to tell you. Truly I did, but I didn't know how. You must understand how difficult it was for me. And then you and Fiyero ran off together so quickly...and...the next time I saw you I never got the chance to-" Glinda couldn't contain herself. Her voice broke and she began to cry.

"Ne-Nessa?" Elphaba said pulling back and looking her friend in the eyes.
"Oh, I'm so sorry Elphie!" Glinda said between sobs, "I really am, but you must understand tha-"
"No, no Glinda it's okay... I do," she said hugging her friend, "Why don't we go inside," she took Glinda's hand and started leading her towards the door, "But, uh, we have some uh, visitors."
"Visitors?" Glinda asked with an uncertain look on her face, "But Elphie..."
She smiled back at Glinda, "I know, you can trust them... you'll see, but they aren't well, normal Ozians. I'll put it that way."
"Okay." Glinda replied still unsure of the situtions but, followed Elphaba inside and downstairs anyway.
They got downstairs and opened the door to total chaos. There was Stephanie, Kerry and Fiyero trying to calm down a hyperventilating Annaleigh, with Elise fanning her off with one of the fake Grimmeries, Megan, Idina and Shoshana trying to put their make-up on the best they could, and all the other women trying to get clothes, make-up and shoes on while trying to figure out the plan.
"Stay here a second, okay?" she said to a wide-eyed Glinda who replied with a quiet "su-sure."
"Now," she paused, "What in Oz's name is going on in here?" she said louder to get everyone's attention.
"Oh nothing really!" Elise said sarcastically, then said, "What does it look like is going on?! We're all kind of freaking out!!"
"Well, you know you really don't have to," Elphaba said.
"Wh-why not?" a very panicky Annaleigh said gripping onto Stephanie's shoulder so she wouldn't fall.
"Well," she motioned to the doorway where Glinda was standing.
"What? Omigod." Stephanie said.
"Wait... is that..." Eden said looking up from what she was doing.
"No way," Carmen said.
And then "OH. MY. OZ." a wide eyed Elise said. "Are you like really... the real..." she paused, "Glinda?"
"Yes, dear I am." she said smiling, "And who might you be?"
"We-well, first let me say do you know how much trouble this saves us?" Elise said letting out a sigh of relief and a short laugh, "but I'm Elise, and well these are all people who have portrayed Elphaba in some point of time."
Someone cleared her throat and Elise turned and then added, "Oh, and except for Megan and Annaleigh" she said pointing to the two blondes, "they played you!"
Stephanie looked around smiling, "Well I think this solved a big problem for us!"
"And what might that be?" Glinda asked.
"Well, Annaleigh went and met up with the Wizard and then we were worried you would too and the Wizard would... wait" Stephanie said looking at Glinda's expression, "you did didn't you?"
Glinda slowly nodded.
"Oh damn..." Elphaba said looking at Glinda, "Annnddd..."
"Well, he kind of figured it out."
Elphaba swore again under her breath, where upon quite a few people looked up and all replied, "Elphaba!"
"Sorry! Sorry!" she said, "and we have one other slight problem," she paused, "my sister is behind all of this."
"What?" Fiyero said walking over to her, "but..."
"I know, I know," she said leaning into him, "she's not dead, and she's behind... all of this."
"So what do we do?" Idina asked.
"Exactly what we were planning before... stop them."
FixatedOnVerdigris
Elphaba waited a few moments, fully expecting everybody to continue with what they were doing. She sighed a bit when she saw that they didn't understand. "Exactly what we were planning before." All at once, there was a small chorus of 'oh!' 'yea!' and 'oops's throughout the room as everybody continued what they were doing.
The only difference was Megan, Elise, and Annaleigh going outside. Annaleigh, although she had calmed down somewhat after seeing Glinda, was still upset and worried. Elise had suggested to Megan that they take her out for some fresh air, and now they were doing it.
Elphaba waited a few moments, watching the activity around herself. Most of the foreign actors were just following everybody else, not knowing what was going on. A few, however, who knew English were just as involved as everybody else.
After she was sure nobody would notice, Elphaba turned her back to everybody and walked out of the room. However, two pairs of eyes were on her retreating back.
Elphaba walked for a few minutes, just walked, until she came to an empty room. She walked in, confident she was alone. Standing in the center of the room, Elphaba looked at the walls, as though transfixed by them. She slowly wrapped her arms around herself to stop her emotions from peeking through.
Glinda, who had followed Elphaba, silently slipped into the room. Walking over to Elphaba, she spoke softly. "Elphie, you're trembling… again." She put her arms around Elphaba in a hug.
Elphaba, who had always hated contact of any sort, tensed up, then pushed her off. "I'm fine. Go away."
Glinda bit her lip. She obviously wasn't leaving. But she felt bad. "Elphie… I'm so sorry. I thought you should know before you found out the hard way…"
Elphaba kept her back to Glinda, and was silent.
Another voice was heard soonafter. Idina, halfway greenified, walked into the room. "Elphaba, you shouldn't hold a grudge. You have to admit, knowing now is a lot better than later." She waited alongside Glinda for Elphaba to speak.
There were several moments of silence, before Elphaba made a shooing motion at the two, keeping her back facing them. "Go. Away. Now." Her voice was flat, leaving no room for argument.
Glinda made a half-step to go up to Elphaba but, deciding against it, instead walked with Idina out of the room. They both knew that Elphaba really did need space after news like this.
Once they got back to the main hall, however, it almost instantly grew silent. Idina looked around curiously, then, realizing that they were expecting to be updated on what was going on, allowed a half smile to appear on her face. It was fake, but not noticeably so. "She's processing. This undoubtedly adds to how we will do this. Hurry up everybody, we don't have all day. Continue with what you were doing before."
Idina and Glinda went their separate ways as the crowd started working once again.
Shoshana sighed from where she had made no headway with her green makeup. Staring into the mirror, she mumbled quietly to herself, "I wonder if we could get Joe and Chris here…"
