Everyone else was locked in small separate cells in the west end. The Wizard made it a point to keep everyone else separate so they couldn't conjure up any plans to escape.
The 'Elphabas' were humming the 'Elphaba' songs, the 'Glindas' were humming 'Glinda' songs, and the WoO members were all humming Wicked songs or Idina songs. All except one, Carley. Carley was sitting in the corner of her cell thinking about everything.
The cells weren't as damp and cold as the one the Elphaba and the others were in; they were actually quite dry.
Carley was tracing figures and drawing her name on the cement floor over and over, tring to come up with something creative. Hmmm. What are we here for? I hate the Wizard! I hate Morrible! I want to go help Idina! She might need help!
She slowly stood up and thought, 'That's it! The bars!' The bars on the cell door were not very close together. Carley walked over to the bars and turned sideways. Then she looked at her clothes, and remembered- her costume is over her street clothes. She took off the costume and put it in the middle of the floor. Maybe they would assume she was still there and not come and check on her. After looking at herself compared to the bars, she nodded and slipped right through.
No one saw her leave except for Allen.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"To help Idina. Can you fit through the bars?"
He looked at his relationship with the bars and slipped through as well.
"Great! Let's go!" Carley said.
As they were sneaking out, they heard the Wizard talking.
"We need to find the one escaped. The others can die soon. Do we have all needed?" the Wizard said.
"Um, not completely." The voice said.
"Fine! Then we will let them see their families, friends, and world destroyed. hen... we will kill them one by one... each can watch their close friends be turned into dust. "
"Oh, your Ozness, if you are so cruel, then it will not be good for you, your Ozness." The voice responded.
"GO!" the Wizard said to the voice, and walked away.
Carley and Allen looked at each other and then looked around the corner. They saw no one, so they ran.
They eventually made it to the back door and crawled out. "My name," she took a deep breath, "is Carley."
Allen smiled and said, "I'm Allen. Good thinking back there!"
She smiled but started looking around, "Any idea where Idina is?"
Without answering, Allen said, "How did you think about the bars back there?"
"I wasn't singing. Let's go back to Kiamo Ko."
"Ok... ok...ok...ok. What do I do?" Idina thought out loud. "What... what... what. I have to help them, I just wish I had help. It's pretty lonely here. pretty dark and quite." She continued.
She had already landed at Kiamo Ko and was panicking. "Wait... I was actually defying gravity!" She thought out loud again. "I was flying! That has never happened to me before. Except for in dreams... ooo! That was so amazing!"
She started to walk around in circles pretending to dance. "Oh how much I wish someone would have gotten away." She started to walk around instead of just in circles, and when she did she saw a pad of paper that had notes on it. She walked over to the pad of paper and started reading the notes.
--Idina said no and won't come- I am going to get her and all the others.
--Everyone has arrived in Kiamo Ko including a girl under legal age.
--Elise can go home if I want her to, but I haven't said any of this yet. All she needs is to hold onto an older when I send them back and she should go with them.
--Nessa is going to go through some rough times. She's supporting the Wizard (insane)
--I am think Wicked might help us here. I will wait until someone else brings it up.
--Dorothy might be involved in it.
Then she read:
I don't like writing to a diary or a journal or what-not, but this is so hard. Everyone is turning worse. It's really bad and some of the girls are starting to get closer to me (which is okay). Doing Wicked is not going to be easy. I hope it goes okay and nothing unplanned happens. However, with all of the personalities that I have to deal with, something is bound to happen wrong.
It amazes me on how these people come up with such creative stories that are somewhat true, and they don't realize it. I notice that some of the ones that are the quietest are the smartest. In other words, some of the ones that never talk, have the best ideas and end up saving all of us. Most of the loud ones don't think very good or they just act before they think.
The little one growing inside of me... I wonder what they will be like. I wonder if they will be green, or have powers like me. Are they going to be a scarecrow like Yero? All this is new for me. I'm going to have a baby. Should I go to Earth to give birth? I miss my peace and quite.
What if I didn't try to help earth? This all wouldn't have happened, and everyone would still think that Elphaba is dead. Now everyone knows I'm alive and I know that my sister is alive and helping plot to kill me and millions of lives. he Wizard doesn't understand that Earth doesn't know Oz exists and they aren't trying to be bad or anything. I don't know what else to do. We are working hard and this might never be found. I hope it is never found.
I hate the Wizard. I wish he was never here and never known and a Wizard. I wonder what connection he has, why he came here. Or even why he is still here.
Elphaba
Idina sat down after reading this. "She's not evil! He is!" She thought out loud. "Why would I ever want to meet him? I think they need to change the script of Wicked."
Bang Bang
Idina jumped and the sound of someone knocking on the door. "It's the Wizard! It's the Wizard!" She thought out loud.
She stood up and walked towards a window to see if she could tell who it was. When she looked down she saw Carley and Allen anxiously trying to get in, hoping Idina was there.
"HEY!" Idina half whispered have yelled. "Carley and Allen! I'll be right down."
They nodded and waited until she ran down all the stairs and opened the door for them.
"What are you two doing here?" She asked.
"Oh, Idina! I'm happy you made it!" Carley said giving her a hug. "We slipped through the bars on the door." She stepped back. "We need to get them out fast! hey are going to kill all of them soon."
Idina gasped and Allen added, "After the Wizard makes them watch the Earth blow up."
The three walked back into the castle and tried to come up with a plan to free everyone and stop the earth for blowing up. They had a big task on hand, but they knew they could do it.
Nicole
"Just let me be… legally blonde…"
Ali glared at her cell mate. Two hours. Two hours of non stop singing on one song that had absolutely nothing to do with Wicked. "WOULD YOU SHUT UP!"
Nicole turned and blinked. "I'm sorry. I keep forgetting I'm LOCKED IN A CELL WITH ABSOLUTELY NO LUCK AT GETTING OUT. Can we at least brainstorm? I'd try and…"
"That's because you'd go completely off topic." With a sign, she crossed her arms. "So we know that they're magically locked – that echoed down the hall – and that that key can't get them out. We obviously can't break them, and it sounds like Allen and Carley escaped, but they're super skinny and we're, well, not."
Nicole snorted. "I resent that. I'm skinny plenty. The bars are just closer together, that's all."
"Keep telling yourself that…" Ali muttered, frowning. Although she didn't know that Elphaba had said it, she had been right when she had said that the quietest ones had the best ideas. Nicole was loud, but her best ideas she always kept to herself, and the rest of them were decidedly intelligent.
"I wonder if a bobby pin would work. Or a credit card."
Ali blinked. "What?"
"No, you're right."
Nicole's way of thinking hit her like a slap in the face a second later. "The Wizard is too smart for his own good, and he thinks that we are, too. So he blocked the use of anything that we might have… except what we might actually have. Did that even make sense?"
From the cell over, Kerry laughed. "I followed it." Elise sat by her feet, wings fluttering with nowhere to go. "So did I."
"I did, too." Next to Kerry, Eden and Sho grinned at each other. "Do you have a bobby, Eden?"
"Why, yes, I do, Sho!" Unclipping her hair – thank goodness they were still in their costumes- Eden slid it through the bars to Elise. "Can you do this, Elise?"
"Can try!"
Ali blinked. "Oh, yeah, the extra set of hands could help… and the wings…"
Elise scrambled over to the door, and immediately a guard noticed.
"I HAVE TO PEE!"
Nicole and Ali quickly covered their mouths to stifle their laughter, Kerry didn't even try.
"Good thinking, Elise," Sho muttered.
"Well, you're not going anywhere." He turned away.
Elise's tail wrapped around the bobby pin and she stuck it outside the door, sticking it into the lock.
"Come on, come on, let it work…" Eden's mutterings were super faint. The only guard in their hallway was in front of Elise, and if he turned around…
The click of the lock, and Elise's weight sent the door flying open and crashing into the guard, knocking him unconscious. Snatching up the dropped bobby pin, Elise flew to the other door as Kerry bounded out.
"He doesn't have a set of keys."
"That means there must only be one that the Wizard has… shoot." Ali frowned.
"And we need to find Toto if we're to still manipulate Dorothy." Nicole sighed.
"Anybody know where the hades Idina ended up? I would've loved to fly…" Sho sighed.
"No, but I think it's time we found out." A smile split Nicole's face as she bounded out the door. "And my bet lies in the KK Hut."
"The what?" Eden stared at her.
"Kiamo…"
"Oh. What's with the nickname?"
"Reminds me of the the KK, the KK Hut. Hehe. Let's go!" And with that, the door to Eden and Sho's cell opened, and the seven turned and bounded recklessly up the stairs, Ali being smart enough to grab the gaurd's gun as they went by. You never knew what you could need…

As they were walking out, an alarm went off causing all the actresses and WoO members to start running as fast as lightning. They weren't very close to the exit, and there were so many of them that it was hard to find it and not loose anyone.
"Leaving so soon?" A voice said around the corner, stepping in their way. "But why? Don't you want to see Earth blow up?" They saw that it was Madame Morrible.
Everyone stopped in their tracks except for Taye Diggs. Taye ran to attempt to get passed Morrible.
"Do you really want to leave?" Another voice said from the other corner. "What is your name?" He said walking to Taye and grabbing his shirt by his neck. "Who are you?"
Taye looked at the man and responded, "You aren't a wonderful Wizard you bastard!" The Wizard through him back.
"GUARDS!" Ten men came running at the sound of their title. "Take these humans and lock them back up!" The men nodded and marched over to the group. "And to ensure another escape is prevented, shackle their wrists to the wall as well as their ankles. Make it so they are somewhat comfortable, but not much!" The Wizard got a sinister grin on his face and an evil cackle when the guards started taking the group back to the cells.
"I'll be bait, Idina..." Carley said.
Idina frowned and replied, "I don't think so... unless you have a safe plan that doesn't cause you harm."
"I don't want you getting hurt" Allen said.
"Listen! I can do whatever! I'll even go and try to befriend the Wizard, marriage, something... I don't know. They can't stay there long, something is going to happen, I feel it!"
Allen and Idina looked at Carley as if she were crazy.
Carley thought for a minute and then said, "Wait. I'm uh... adopted... does the Wizard know that Elphie is his daughter? If not, I could pretend to be. hen I will be in the place and I'll let everyone out. I was quiet and the guard that had me said that he only worked part-time."
Idina looked at her and responded, "You had a conversation with the guard that wanted to lock you up?!"
Carley looked down and replied, "Not really... kinda... I guess a little."
Allen said, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I don't want to, I need to. I can't let Elphie get hurt. I'll get Morrible to help or something, with unlocking the cells. I mainly want Elphie out, she can help us most of all."
"This...is... absolutely... fantastic!" Annaleigh complained.
Tiana agreed, "Great idea... to escape... and get lock back again... just more, uh, locked!"
"You need to not try again, escaping I mean. It's not good. I don't like to hurt people but I have to do what I'm told." A guard explained.
"Knock it off Andy! Let's go!" Tiana looked over to who said that and noticed he was made of tin.
"BOQ!" Tiana yelled. "I love you! Will you please let me go so I can love you more?"
Boq looked at Tiana and responded, "Never! No helper of the Wicked Witch will ever be freed with my knowledge. She made me this way and I will not forgive her or her sister, NESSA!"
All but two guards left and the group began talking to try and pass time.
"I can't believe that we can't get to the KK Hut, now!" Shoshana complained.
"I'm already sick of standing here... chained to the wall!" Kerry said.
"If we keep complaining, then nothing good will happen!" Ali said, "Please stop complaining, I know it's not comfortable!"
"But it's fun to complain!" Carmen echoed.
"I think we should just sing!" Kristin said.
"CHENO NOTE!" Mikayla exclaimed and attempted the high note. While she did this, everyone covered their ears.
"Please stop..." Dee said.
"I'm leaving Idina. Can I have a hug?" Carley asked.
They hugged each other for quite some time and then Idina said, "You be careful, okay? Let me know every so often how you are doing." They stopped hugging. "Remember, Just really try to get Elphie."
Carley nodded and walked out the door towards Oz.
Not far from Kiamo Ko and she heard, "Wooooooof! Woooooooooooof!"
"Who's there?" Carley asked, scared stiff.
"I ask the same question of you."
"My name is Car... uh Kyra Davenport... I'm trying to find the Wizard. Could you point me the way?"
A Lion slowly came out from behind a tree and said, "That way." Pointing in the direction of Oz. "Are you um, do you know a girl named Dorothy? I met her awhile back... she was from Kansas, I think. Do you know her?"
Carley shook her head no and thanked the Lion. "I hope to see you again... thank you!"
As she continued down the road she noticed some apple trees and didn't dare to go get an apple.
She looked like a normal girl, not anything like Dorothy. She was in her normal street clothes which included a green American Eagle shirt and a pair of khaki Bermuda shorts. She was wearing a pair of small tennis shoes that were brown.
She finally saw the Emerald City... again. The great big green place where the terrible Wizard stayed. 'Why am I doing this again? Oh yea, to save Elphie and the others.' She thought. She walked from the edge of the woods down a yellow road towards the Emerald City, and could only think about the poppies that covered the ground at one point, in her imagination. She then decided to skip singing, "I'm off to meet the Wizard the terrible Wizard of Oz. I hear he is a terrible guy with no concern for us. He's stinky and he's baaad, he's evil and he hates Animals. I'm going to see the Wizard of Oz, because because because because because because, because I need to save someone!" Then she giggled and stopped giggling shen she got to the door.
PLEASE KNOCK! It said on the door by the bell and she smiled.
As she lifted her fist to knock on the door she realized that she didn't know what she was going to say. She just took a deep breath and went for it.
KNOCK KNOCK
A little door opened and a man asked, "Who are you and what do you want?"
"I'm... uh... Car... Kyra Davenport, I'm here to see the Wizard. He's my..."
She was interrupted with, "I can't let you talk to the Wizard!"
'I'm his... uh... long lost daughter. He'll understand more then you, can you let me in? It's very important."
The door slowly opened and she saw a man about the height of her come up and grab her hand, leading her to the Wizard.
