Disclaimer: I don't own Sisters Grimm or Wicked. Don't kill me! I'm sorry...I just lost inspiration and then I heard a specific song... not this one but from Wicked and I was...it was a very good song. Whoever guesses it gets an OC to be Dorothy. One guest per reviewer.

I slipped on a blue frock and Delilah began to braid my hair, rather tightly. It hung down like a rope and I hated it. Fern was in the room, putting on a rather…weird hot pink dress. However, it suited her rather nicely.
"Are you ready?" asked Fern. I made a face and she laughed easily. Ah man…I was starting to want to be friends with her! We walked out onto the stage and I sat on the bed. I put on wire glasses and Fern sat next to me.
"And action!" shouted Ms. Gravel. Fern grinned at me and took a deep breath in.
FERN
(spoken) Elphie - now that we're friends, I've decided to
make you my new project.
SABRINA
(spoken) You really don't have to do that
FERN
(spoken) I know. That's what makes me so nice!
(sung) Whenever I see someone
Less fortunate than I
(And let's face it - who isn't
Less fortunate than I?) (Fern looked at me and then nodded to the audience. People were laughing. It seemed some people from school that were skipping out on classes had decided to watch)
My tender heart
Tends to start to bleed
And when someone needs a makeover
I simply have to take over
I know I know exactly what they need
And even in your case (She took of my glasses and folded them up)
Tho' it's the toughest case I've yet to face
Don't worry - I'm determined to succeed
Follow my lead
And yes, indeed
You will be:
Popular!
You're gonna be popular!
I'll teach you the proper ploys
When you talk to boys
Little ways to flirt and flounce
I'll show you what shoes to wear
How to fix your hair (She took out my braid and had it flowing over my shoulders)
Everything that really counts
To be popular
I'll help you be popular!
You'll hang with the right cohorts
You'll be good at sports
Know the slang you've got to know
So let's start
'Cause you've got an awfully long way to go:
Don't be offended by my frank analysis
Think of it as personality dialysis
Now that I've chosen to be come a pal, a
Sister and adviser
There's nobody wiser
Not when it comes to popular -
I know about popular
And with an assist from me
To be who you'll bee
Instead of dreary who-you-were: are:
There's nothing that can stop you
From becoming popu-
Ler: lar: (She started flouncing around like a crazy ballerina on crack. It was that scary…and very funny at the same time. I like her!)
Oh forget it (speaking)
La la la la
We're gonna make
You popular
When I see depressing creatures
With unprepossessing features
I remind them on their own behalf (She started putting lipgloss on me. I was getting disturbed now. She was Glinda…it was creepy)
To think of
Celebrated heads of state or
Specially great communicators
Did they have brains or knowledge?
Don't make me laugh!
They were popular! Please -
It's all about popular!
It's not about aptitude
It's the way you're viewed
So it's very shrewd to be
Very very popular
Like me!
SABRINA
(speaking)This is never going to work
FERN
(speaking)Ooh, oh, oh, oh.
You whole life is going to change and all because of me.
Okay let me show you how to toss your hair.
(Then she did the most ridiculous thing ever! She started to toss her hair but she looked like she was having a seizure! I had to press the lips together so hard that it hurt to keep from laughing.)
FERN(spoken)
You just flip
You just flip (She flicked her head to the side and her blonde hair flipped to the side)
Or you can use your hand
Flick it with your hand (She did just that and didn't look that bad…I think)
Or…well…use your whole body if you want (She started swinging herself down and swinging her head)
Whoa! (She flipped over and I had to catch her and drag her back onto the edge of the bed)
Don't do that one!
I will now transform your simple frock to a beautiful ball gown (She picked up this wand and did a ludicrous swishing thing)
Ball gown.
Ball gown. (Nothing happened…this is depressing. An Everafter and no magic. This must be doing wonders for her self esteem. Dammit…I'm starting to care about her! I don't want her as a friend!)
Is this thing on? (She hit it against the bed. Ah…she's too funny!)
Mine's broken great.
SABRINA (spoken)
Do you want me to try?
FERN (spoken)
I got it, I got it (She threw the wand and people started to laugh again. God shut up…I want to laugh myself!)
Just wear the frock it's pretty
Now for the finishing touch (She pinned a pink flower from her hair into mine. It looked good with my green skin)
Yup…pink goes good with green
Why Miss Elphaba look at you
You're beautiful. (She handed me the mirror and I looked. I looked pretty decent and then I laughed…slightly nasally)
SABRINA
(spoken) I - I have to go: (I ran off the side of the stage and looked on)
FERN
(spoken) You're welcome!
(sung) And though you protest
Your disinterest
I know clandestinely
You're gonna grin and bear it
Your new found popularity
La la la la
You'll be popular -
Just not as quite as popular
As me!
She grinned and flounced off stage. There was a roar of applause and I looked at Fern. I gave her a high five. Fern grinned at me.
"You know…you're starting to grow on me" I said. She looked at me in triumph and amusement.
"You just read my mind…" Fern said. It was like were best friends. Dammit! I turned to Puck and he was smirking at me.
"What are you looking at?" I demanded. He smirked at me and kissed my green cheek.
"I was just reading the next scene we're doing tomorrow…toss, toss, toss" he said, teasingly. I looked at him and he pointed at the scene on the script. Dammit!
