Dancing Through Hell
Suddenly the transition music came on and things just rolled out on their own. I looked at the wings and turned to see Puck moving quickly with silver in his eyes. Oh GOD! He looked hot.
He was wearing a short sleeved white shirt and a red vest and tight, tight, TIGHT white pants. Dear God he's sexy. And I looked like a little NERD! I walked off stage as he walked into his little carriage. The set changed and I waited for Belinda. She put an arm around my shoulders and began to walk off just as Fern and Arthur came on stage.
FERN:
(spoken) Madame Morrible!
Drat! Excuse my language…
ARTHUR:
(spoken) Miss Galinda
Remember me? (I bet you she doesn't. I hate her. I watched them from the wings and next to Daphne. She was sitting in her chair and she was annoyed. She looked at Arthur, longingly and I knew something was up. She was an incarnation as well but of whom was obvious)
FERN:
(spoken) Oh yes, of course!
Hello, Biq (She couldn't remember his really name either…)
ARTHUR:
(Spoken) Boq.
You know um…back in Munchkinland
We have a saying.
When two people are well suited—(Fern poked him and grinned or smiled maliciously. Whatever floats your boat)
FERN:
(spoken) Don't tell me you're a munchkin
ARTHUR:
(spoken)Would it make a difference?
FERN:
(spoken) Aren't you extremely tall?
ARTHUR:
(spoken) Well…I'm a little on the tall side (Suddenly, there was the honking of an old car and they turned and there he was in his amazingly hot glory…I sound like a total fangirl but I'm allowed to think of my future husband as hot. On the bike was Michael who was playing Avaric, the driver)
MICHAEL:
(spoken) Here we are sir!
Shiz University (Puck was lying in the seat and a lot of the female portion of the audience whistled in appreciation. I resisted the urge to hiss at them and Daphne smirked at me. He appeared to wake up)
PUCK:
(spoken) What? Already?
Well…what a shame.
Well see you soon, Avaric.
Don't worry. I won't last any longer
At this school than I did at any of the others (Dear God this was Puck. Fiyero was like a carbon copy. It was kind of creepy. Lazy, self-centered, idiotic…the list could go on)
MICHAEL:
(spoken) Yes sir (He bicycled off the stage as Puck jumped off. He had on these really cool sunglasses and Fern looked ready to pass out)
FERN:
(spoken) Biq, do you realize who that is?
ARTHUR:
(spoken) It's Boq.
FERN:
(spoken) It's Fiyero Tiggular,
That Winkie prince whose reputation is
So scandalacious! (You got that right. The fairy tabloids were crazy. Fell in love with a mortal, turned said mortal into fairy, got wings ripped off. It goes on and on and on! Puck walked over and had his back to the audience but his face towards Fern. Fern flipped her hair. Puck started shaking his hair and flipping it. There was laughter rippling throughout the audience but I remained pissed off)
Are you looking for something?
Or someone?
PUCK:
(spoken) Uh, yes!
Some sort of history class… (God! He acts like this all the time. No wonder he got the part. It wasn't because of talent I bet. It's because he is Fiyero. I'm going to point that out to him…after we get back together)
ARTHUR: (He hit Puck's shoulder with a book. Jealous freak…)
(spoken) Yeah, the history building
Is right over there
FERN:
(spoken) That class
Just end
PUCK:
(spoken) Oh! Perfect timing!
So what does uh, what does one do
For fun over here? (Party boy!)
FERN:
(Spoken) Nothing!
Until now… (Did that sound suggestive or was it just me? I swear if she's trying to make a move on him besides this play…I'll rip her to shreds after this is over. Now I just have to get through the heart felt parts with her…)
ARTHUR:
(Spoken) We study!
PUCK:
(spoken) What? (And he sounded shocked about this why? He should know the script…I think. I focused my magic and found a small piece of a prescence in him. It sensed me and I got kicked out. Great! Crazy people or things or something are trying to take over us during the show. That's just great!)
Well, I see that once again the responsibility
To corrupt my fellow students falls to me.
Fortunately, I'm up to the task
(Sung) The trouble with schools is (He put his arm around Arthur's shoulder though his eyes were rapidly turning orange for disgust. He didn't forget what Arthur did to Daphne. He looked up in the wings at me for a split second and his eyes turned silver again. I gave him a smile and he allowed a tiny smile)
They always try to teach the wrong lesson
Believe me, I've been kicked out
Of enough of them to know
They want you to become less callow
Less shallow
But I say: "Why invite stress in?"
Stop studying strife (Puck took his book and threw it across the stage)
And learn to live "the unexamined life"
Dancing through life (Students came on stage and Daphne rolled on with them. Puck started walking towards Fern who was walking backwards. This is not good…if I'm correct in my theory, Fiyero was attracted to Fern at first. So…if Puck is Fiyero then…this is not good!)
Skimming the surface (He spun in a circle smoothly)
Gliding where turf is smooth
Life's more painless
For the brainless
Why think too hard?
When it's so soothing
Dancing through life (Why did this sound like his personal philosophies?)
No need to tough it
When you can sluff it off as I do
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters (He started to sink towards the ground and he was about to burst into dance…with Fern!)
It's just life
So keep dancing through... (He popped up and spun in a circle, slid across the stage and spun again)
Dancing through life
Swaying and sweeping
And always keeping cool
Life is fraughtless
When you're thoughtless
Those who don't try (He jumped up and sat on the statue that had been rolled in at the beginning of the scene)
Never look foolish
Dancing through life
Mindless and careless (He stood up and spun on the statue and grabbed back on. I can't comprehend how he stayed on. He should've fell of but of course, being Puck he didn't)
Make sure your where less
Trouble is rife
Woes are fleeting
Blows are glancing
When you're dancing
Through life... (Everyone got a partner but Puck, Daphne, Arthur, and Fern. The dancers started to spin and dance. It was actually cool. Too bad I'm the main character and never get to dance. That sucks!)
(spoken) So! What's the most swankified place in town?
FERN:
(spoken) Uh…that would be the Ozdust Ballroom (I don't think she was supposed to say 'uh'. She looked dazed. She probably was shocked by his dancing when he danced. I didn't even know he was that good!)
PUCK:
(spoken) That sounds perfect!
(Sung) Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom
We'll meet there later tonight (He slipped down from the statue and started walking to Fern. He jumped with his legs apart and spun in a smooth circle. That was unbearably sexy…wow. Just wow.)
We can dance till it lights
Find the prettiest girl... (He looked up and glanced at Fern. His eyes turned orange and then he looked at me quickly. He continued to have a smile on his face and his eyes turned silver once again. Arthur rushed up and took her hand before Puck could. He spun Fern in a circle and she looked kind of angry.)
Give her a whirl
Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom
Come on, follow me (Fern spun in a circle and stared at her Puck. She had him for most of the play but I got him in the end)
You'll be happy to be there... (He grabbed Fern and they begun to dance and spin in a circle)
ALL:
Dancing through life (He's officially corrupted them. He looks so carefree without me there…like he isn't thinking. He looked up at me and his eyes became a silvery blue…why wasn't it completely silver? I thought he loved me…what the hell is happening?)
Down at the Ozdust...
PUCK:
If only because dust is what we come to...
ALL:
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
ALL and PUCK:
Life (Puck spun Fern out and then spun her back in until she was in his arms. No. No. NO! His eyes were blue-green…for attraction)
PUCK:
So keep dancing through...
ARTHUR: (Puck walked away slightly but continued to listen)
(Spoken)
Miss Galinda- I hope you'll save at least one
Dance for me. I'll be right there
By the side waiting all night (Right…she's not going to dance with you. You'd be better off with Daphne)
FERN:
(Spoken)
Oh- that's so kind. Do you know what would
Be even kinder?
(Sung)
See that tragic'ly beautiful girl (Daphne was still alone on stage and she was looking down. She liked to dance…a lot and she couldn't. She couldn't even got out of the damn chair until I make another pair of ruby slippers)
The one in the chair
It seems so unfair
We should go on a spree
And not she
Gee-
I know someone would be my hero
If that someone were
To go invite her...
ARTHUR:
(Spoken) I could invite her! (Naïve little brat!)
FERN:
(Spoken)
Oh, Biq, really?
You would do that
(Sung) For me!
ARTHUR:
(Spoken)
I would do anything for you, Miss Galinda (He ran up to Daphne and she looked at him with surprise indented in every line on her face…well, maybe that's not the right comparison. She doesn't really have any lines in her face)
Excuse me!
Uh, Miss Nessarose!
I have something I have to ask you.
PUCK:
(spoken) You're good…
FERN:
(spoken) I don't know what you mean.
I happen to be free tonight so…
PUCK:
(spoken) So I'll be picked you up around…8?
FERN:
(Spoken) After all…
(Sung) Now that we've met one another (They started to walk towards each other. Oh hell no. Someone better restrain me because I'm about to tear that blonde wig from her head and rip ever blonde strand from her head!)
BOTH:
(Sung) It's clear we deserve each other
FERN:
(spoken) You're perfect (In one way this is true and in a whole other it's completely wrong. He's perfect for me but overall…he's so far from perfect)
PUCK:
(spoken) You're perfect (I never took Puck for a liar…hmm…he did play pranks on me. I guess he tells lies once in a while but he should be murdered for that kind of lie)
BOTH:
So we're perfect together
Born to be forever...
Dancing through life... (He took her hand and she went in a circle around him…they danced off stage and Daphne and I walked on stage together)
SABRINA:
It's absurd! This silly, rich boy appears and
Everyone's off to worship him and some cultish social gathering!
DAPHNE:
Even me! I'm going!
Isn't it wonderful? (She let out a completely girlish giggle that I knew was real. I mean she doesn't laugh any other way except giggle…except when she's angry. She cackles then)
Boq was too shy to ask me at first, but once Galinda encouraged him
SABRINA:
Galinda? (It's hard to believe she'd do anything nice)
DAPHNE:
(Spoken)
Don't you dare say another word against her!
I'm about to have the first happy night of my life
All thanks to Galinda!
(Sung)
Fin'lly, for this one night (She has a beautiful voice but personally I like it better when she sings Wicked Witch of the East. This is the tune…for the song, Wicked Witch of the East. I like it better than.)
I'm about to have a fun night
With this munchkin boy
Galinda found for me
And I only wish there were
Something I could do for her
To repay her
Elphaba see?
We deserve each other
And Galinda helped it come true
We deserve each other
Me and Boq...
(Spoken)
Please Elphaba, try to understand
SABRINA:
(Sung) I do... (I rolled her off stage and Fern, Deedee, and Debbie came onstage. The morons I like to dub them as)
FERN:
(spoken) Now! Zip me up (Deedee zipped up her dress. It was the ridiculous bright hot pink dress that I despised with a passion.
Now I must accessorize myself for Fiyero
DEBBIE:
(Spoken) Galinda, what in Oz name is that? (Debbie pulled out the infamous witch hat…my witch hat. I heard someone laugh in my head. Great I'm going crazy. I walked out and to the side of the room, seemingly ignoring them)
FERN:
(Spoken) Just pretend you didn't see that
My granny's always giving me the most hideodious hats
I'd give it away but I don't hate anyone that much (That was the most blatant lie that's ever come out of little mouth. Ever!)
DEBBIE AND DEEDEE:
(Spoken) Yes you do (Finally, someone who speaks the truth!)
FERN:
(Spoken) I know! I couldn't… (She was smiling maliciously and suddenly transition music came on and I walked out next to Fern. They danced and suddenly I sighed)
SABRINA:
(Spoken)
Galinda listen Nessa and I were talking about you
Just now-
FERN:
(Spoken) And I was just talking about you
I thought you might want to wear this to the party tonight (She held out the hat. If I unbraided my hair I looked hot with that hat on. Unfortunately, I need to look like a nerd until Puck and I have a connection…except he was attracting to Fern now)
(Sung)
It's really, uh, sharp, don't you think?
You know- black is this years pink
You deserve each other
This hat and you
You're both so smart
You deserve each other
So here, out of the goodness of my
Heart... (I laughed quietly, and my emotions flared until I was once again foolishly optimistic. Okay…I need intermission or some time where I can talk to Daphne! The students came on stage and dresses and tails and I was nowhere to be found! Cause I was doing a costume change with Kathleen.
"Come on! Take the damn jacket off and put on the God damned hat!" she snapped at me. I looked at her as if she were crazy. She was just nervous.
"Right…" I said. I looked at Puck and he was wearing a crimson suit. Wow…he looked exceptionally good in red. Personally, I really wanted to throttle Fern who was on his arm. There was a mix of blue green and orange in his eyes. He turned to look at me and it turned silver once again. He smiled at me and I grinned.
"Love you" I mouthed. He looked at me in shock and mouthed the same thing. He was exceptionally confused.
The lights burst on and suddenly there was a staircase. Fern and Puck went on top and walked down and there were gasps. They began to dance and I hated every minute of it. His eyes were silver with a hint of orange in it. They walked off the massive platform and were near the audience now. Daphne was rolled onto the stage and Boq and her began to dance)
FERN:
(Spoken) Mmm…what's in the punch? (They had changed who was going to say that yesterday! I know it's like a line but still! You can't do that…what if Daphne accidentally says it? Good thing that she doesn't)
PUCK:
(spoken) Lemons, melons, and pears
FERN:
(Spoken) Oh my(There was laughter and I just got why they were laughing. The 1939 movie of the Wizard of Oz. That was badly portrayed! I think…I wasn't really there when it happened. Belinda appeared at the stairs and she walked over)
BELINDA:
(spoken) Oh, Miss Upland
FERN:
(spoken) Madame Morrible!
What are you doing here?
BELINDA:
(Spoken) I have something for you (Which I got her! I mean Elphaba…why am I mixing myself up? What the hell is going on? I peeked outside at the audience. They didn't see me and I thought I saw a flash of green…strange…)
FERN:
(Spoken) Oh Madame!
A training wand!
How can I ever express my graditution? (That's now a word, bimbo! God! Why am I saying things about my best friend? Holy shit! She's. Not. My. Best. Friend. I'm going crazy! She's my best friend. No she's not. Yes she is. No she's not. Yes she is. Who am I talking to?
BELINDA:
Oh, don't thank me!
This was your roommate's idea,
Not mine.
FERN:
(Spoken) What? Elphaba?
BELINDA:
Miss Elphaba requested that
I include you in sorcery class.
She insisted I tell you this very night
Or she would quit the seminar. (I may be going crazy but I'm playing a rather nice character. Until she becomes wicked and submits into being wicked. Being wicked is rather fun now that I think about it. I think that'll be my new image)
FERN:
(Spoken) But…why? (She sounded genuine and that's strange. We were supposed to hate each other. The presences were affecting her as well…hmm…though I really don't want to talk to her I think I will later)
BELINDA:
I have no idea.
My personal opinion is
You do not have what it takes.
I hope you'll prove me wrong... I doubt you will. (That was bitchy…even for her.. She sounded as if she really meant it. I mean Fern had power but not as much as I did or Daphne. Daphne was a product of Baba Yaga's blood. Her blood was replaced with witch but I had my blood and Everafter blood, making me a child of both worlds. The story is similar but…not enough)
PUCK:
(Spoken) What is it?
FERN:
(Spoken) I got what a wanted
PUCK:
(Spoken) Then what's the matter? (Only someone with absolutely no matters and who was completely and fully shallow would say that…yet was I the only one who noticed how…unhappy he was? Or did they only see the king in him?)
FERN:
(Spoken) Nothing…(She sounded just about ready to actually cry!)
PUCK:
(Spoken) Good! Let's dance! (He held out his hand and Fern grabbed it. He spun her and then she spun him. I walked forward and suddenly the light was on my crazy hat and me. There were gasps of disgust at me and they were all real. I tried my best not to let out a cry. Puck looked at me and his eyes turned the purest silver that made me take a step back. Every Everafter in the crowd noticed and they stared at me. Fern noticed as well and she fought to keep the grimace off her face. There was vicious laughter.)
Who in Oz is that? (He looked half dazed and I shuddered at his gaze. It was extremely intense)
FERN:
(Spoken) Please don't stare (It had a double meaning. She didn't want him to stare because of what the color of his eyes proved)
PUCK:
(Spoken) How can you help it? (He was supposed to sound weirded out. He succeeded at sounding only amazed. I looked at him and bit my lip so I could look away. I took off the hat and walked down. I looked around and put the hat back on. And I submitted to humiliation by…dancing like a loon. I swayed my arms around and danced horribly…Lord kill me!)
Well I'll say this she doesn't give a twig
About what anyone else thinks
FERN:
(Spoken) Of course she does, she just pretends not to
Oh, I feel awful!
PUCK:
(Spoken) Why? It's not like it's your fault… (I don't know why the hell I get to marry him in the future. I'm a damn idiot for dumping him! And it makes dinner much more awkward. Fern walked up to me)
FERN:
(Spoken) May I cut in? (She began to dance just as horribly as me and we did it together for like a minute and a half. This unbearably horrendiodious…oh no! I'm sounding like I'm from Oz! Then Puck started dancing. This was not supposed to happen. He grabbed me and we waltzed across the room.
""This is not supposed to happen" I hissed through closed teeth. He nodded and smiled.
"A little voice told me…we're together or not?" asked Puck. I tilted my head slightly.
"Hmm…we'll see. I love you but maybe a kiss after As Long As You're Mine will make me think faster" I teased, hissing quietly. The lights started to dim and Fern stared in shock.
"I have something better in mind…you won't find out until curtain call" he promised. Suddenly, the lights snapped off and I rushed around, as the beds rolled in. Time for that Goddamned scene)
