Wizards=Not Wonderful
Puck= Wonderful
Suddenly everything was rushed onstage and people in ball gowns and suits came on stage. I was offstage by now, waiting until I was supposed to go back on. Then suddenly out of the back curtain came out Fern and Puck. They were holding hands as if he were leading her into a dance, which he was. She was in a stunning metallic blue dress and she wore her curly bun wig. On her head was a beautiful tiara and my heart ached at the blonde hair.
That used to be what my hair looked like. I liked black hair but I long to have back my black hair. Well…it's okay. I'd be gone soon.
They began to dance while the giant mechanical Wizard head was rolled out and it was actually heartbreaking in a way. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned around to see Daphne. Vanessa was watching me sympathetically from next to Drake. I noticed Daniel and her kept casting longing glances at each other…interesting. She truly did love him…
Not as much as I loved Puck but pretty close it seemed. I was sure if she was Fae, her eyes would be silver.
"He loves you, my sweet" Daphne murmured. I grinned and shook my head. I leaned in as the two began to dance off stage.
"That's my line, my pretty" I whispered and then I walked forward. I held onto a mechanical prop that was rolling out and hung on it. I wheeled out and I realized I was behind the mechanical head, meaning to say that it was backwards.
I got off with my broom in hand and looked around. I sat my broom down on the mechanical head and looked around. I could feel a gaze on me, most likely Daniel's gaze.
DANIEL:
(Spoken) I knew you'd be back (I spun around and jumped, surprised that he had spoken so loud. I had been prepared for quiet and sadness. He had spoken into the mechanical head microphone. Not this…anything but this. I thought he was supposed to be possessed in a way. No…he was acting like himself. He grabbed my broom as I lunged for it.)
Here me out! I never meant to harm you…
SABRINA:
(Spoken) Well you have…you have harmed me (I said this as coldly and fury filled as possible. Surprisingly, it wasn't too hard. I drew on the anger I had felt for Mirror. Now, all I felt was a remote sense of pity for the old chap…haha…chap)
DANIEL:
(Spoken) I realize that and I regret it…
Elphaba…
SABRINA:
(Spoken) Stay where you are! (Surprisingly, he froze. That may be due to the fact that I can blow him up where he stands)
I'm setting those monkeys free
And don't try to interfere or call the guards…
DANIEL
(Spoken) I'm not calling anyone (Not yet…I really gotta stop thinking these snide remarks in my head and say them out loud. Well…not when we're on stage)
The truth is I'm glad to see you again (After he said that I had looked at him as if he were crazy. Happy. To see the Wicked Witch? Can we say delusional? Ok…another snide remark that would've been perfect if I just could've said it out loud. Damn acting! I come up with the best insults and I can't even use them because I'm following the script)
It gets pretty lonely around here
I know you must get lonely too
SABRINA
(Spoken) You don't know the first thing about me! (I shouted this in anger and rage. He had pretended like he known me. How dare he delude himself into thinking that?)
DANIEL
(Spoken) I do! I do know you!
I can't explain exactly but do you know what I mean? (If I did we wouldn't be in this mess and I wouldn't have said 'You don't know the first thing about me' now would I? Music came on and played in the background)
Elphaba, you have been so strong (Ah crap…the strong card. This is where I'm going to be reminded about when I was 11 and had to be strong so I could take care of my sister)
Through all of this
Aren't you tired of being the strong one?
Wouldn't you like someone to take care of you? (He held out my broom to me and I refused to look at him. He was a bastard. A smarmy bastard)
Please…help me start again (I walked up to him slowly and snatched it away from him. He was starting to seriously get under my skin and I had to be careful if I didn't want to be drawn in)
SABRINA
(Spoken) Don't you think I wish I could?
I would give anything to turn back the clocks
And go back in time when I actually believed you were wonderful (When we were in New York City for Puck I actually did think he had cared. That he had sympathized with me. Well, I was wrong. I was way wrong. He had tried to kill me and he took away 3 years of my childhood)
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz…
No one believed in you more than I did (My heart was broken. Not because of love but because I couldn't trust easily anymore because of him. My trust for everyone except my sister had shattered and it took a long time for me to learn to trust again)
DANIEL
(Spoken) Oh my dear child… (Can you feel the irony? I mean you can cut it with a knife! It's that thick. My dear child? Who came up with that crappy foreboding?)
(Sung) I never asked for this
Or planned it in advance
I was merely blown here
By the winds of chance (He stood there looking out at the crowd and the representatives once again looked impressed. Well, we were Everafters and they could have us forever though I suppose eventually we'd get tired of all of this)
I never saw myself
As a Solomon or Socrates
I knew who I was:
One of your dime a dozen
Mediocrities
Then suddenly I'm here (He walked up to me and I bared my teeth. He took a step back with his hands up and I glared at him)
Respected - worshipped, even
Just because the folks in Oz
Needed someone to believe in
Does it surprise you (He took off his little hat to show his bald cap…or did he shave it off. Which was it? Oh whatever…he spun and placed it on the end of my broom)
I got hooked, and all too soon?
What can I say?
I got carried away
And not just by balloon:
Wonderful
They called me "Wonderful" (Yeah right. In your dreams you asshole…wait that's not the Wizard, Sabrina)
So I said "Wonderful" - if you insist
I will be "Wonderful"
And they said "Wonderful"
Believe me, it's hard to resist
'Cause it feels wonderful
They think I'm wonderful
Hey, look who's wonderful -
This corn-fed hick
Who said: "It might be keen
To build a town of green
And a wonderful road of yellow brick!"
(Spoken) You see I've never had a family of my own (Maybe you would've if you weren't a stupid little asshole who has no life. God!)
I was always traveling
So I guess I just wanted to give the citizens of Oz everything (Everything…?)
SABRINA:
(Spoken) So you lied to them? (Yeah everything…except the truth. Yeah that definitely doesn't count in the concept of everything…)
DANIEL:
(Spoken) Only verbally (I sneered at him and handed him the hat back. He took it and fiddled with it)
Besides they were the lies they wanted to hear
Elphaba, where I come from we believe
All sorts of things that aren't true
We call it "history" (Alright! I'll give you that. The Civil War wasn't ended by the North. Dragons fell on the armies. But that's about it! I think…I gotta look into that with Fern later)
(sung) A man's called a traitor - or liberator
A rich man's a thief - or philanthropist
Is one a crusader - or ruthless invader? (All good points! But still you're a liar! I mean if you told them the truth and kept it clean there wouldn't be all these problems and Elphaba would've lived happily ever after…I think)
It's all in which label
Is able to persist
There are precious few at ease
With moral ambiguities
So we act as though they don't exist (Wow…he can dance, that's for sure. He's going to be on Broadway when he's older, that's for sure)
They call me "Wonderful"
So I am wonderful
In fact - it's so much who I am
It's part of my name (Now he's getting too much for me. He's bragging about his false nickname. That's rich. That's real rich)
And with my help, you can be the same
At long, long last receive your due
Long overdue
Elphaba - The most celebrated (So he's stealing my 'unlimited' theme song. I sing that like 50 times throughout the entire show. I think it's patented! But what he was telling me was slowly drawing me in)
Are the rehabilitated
There'll be such a - whoop-de-doo
A celebration throughout Oz
That's all to do - with you
Wonderful
They'll call you wonderful: (I cleared my throat silently and gave a small hopeful smile.)
SABRINA
It does sound wonderful:
DANIEL
Trust me - it's fun
BOTH
When you are wonderful
It would be wonderful? (He turned to me and I didn't sing with my full heart. This was his song and everyone could tell…)
Wonderful, wonderful
DANIEL
One! Two! And: (He grabbed the end of my skirt and brought it into my hand and we began to dance. We danced around like crazy people and I could see Puck cracking up silently in the doorway. Daphne was laughing hard as well. Fern was giggling. The Wizard head turned around so it was facing the audience again)
SABRINA
(Sung) I'll accept your proposition…
DANIEL
(Spoken) Wonderful!
SABRINA
(Sung) On one condition…
DANIEL
(Spoken) Yes?
SABRINA
(Spoken) You set those monkeys free… (I said this was true feeling. I don't think I would ever look at the Central Park Zoo the same. I'd probably try to set them free. It was like a minute before he answered me.)
DANIEL
(Spoken) Done ( He flipped a switch. Suddenly a bunch of people dressed up as monkeys with wings on their back burst from the sides. They flipped in and it was so cool! Some were attached to wires so they were 'flying'.)
SABRINA
(Spoken) Go! Fly!
You're free! You under the blanket
You're free!
DANIEL
(Spoken) No! No, please! (He shouted as I pulled off the blanket. I froze in horror as I saw Greg.
SABRINA
(Spoken) No it can't be…Doctor Dillamond
DANIEL
(Spoken) I couldn't let him to continue speaking out (M-monster…he's a monster! He did this in Oz? Before he fled like the coward he is! Greg had a snout now…well not a snout but that thing a goat has…what? I don't take zoology)
SABRINA
(Spoken) Doctor Dillamond are you alright?
Don't be afraid…
It's me, Elphaba
Don't you remember me? (He looked like he was about to say something. I looked at him hopefully)
GREG
(Spoken) Baaaaaaaaah!
SABRINA
(Spoken) Can't you speak?
GREG
(Spoken) Baaaaaaaaah! (I grabbed Greg by the shoulder and leaned up behind him. My eyes narrowed as I looked into Daniel's eyes. They were just as cold as the Wizard's were all those years ago)
SABRINA
(Spoken) You and I have nothing in common (My hand shot out and I pointed at him, angrily)
I'm nothing like you and I never will be… (My voice was getting harder and wickeder as it went on. Daniel began to make his way towards the giant head. I stood up)
And I will fight you until the day I DIE! (I shrieked the last part, my hands going up. I was prepared to curse him
DANIEL
(Spoken) GUARDS!
Guards! (Puck and a bunch of extras rushed in. I gasped when I saw him. His eyes were as silver as ever, if even more silver)
EXTRA
Halt!
PUCK
(Spoken) Are you alright your Ozness?
SABRINA
(Spoken) Fiyero! (I looked at him, pleading and I knew he had just saw what I had told Daniel. He knew I was addressing the Wizard. Deep in my gut I knew he was here. And I had felt his fear. And I had loved it)
PUCK
(Spoken) I don't believe it…
SABRINA
(Spoken) Oh, Fiyero, thank god!
I thought you were…
PUCK
Silence witch! (I looked at him in horror and I cringed. His eyes told me that he hadn't truly meant what he said)
EXTRA
(Spoken) There's a Goat on the lam, sir! (The audience erupted in laughter. How was this funny? He had jus call me a witch! Well…a lot of the audience was human so they didn't know. And most Everafters were idiots and completely unaware of other's feelings. Puck dropped the gun that was poised at me and grabbed his face with his hand. He rolled his eyes and looked up again, repositioning the gun)
PUCK
Never mind all that.
Just fetch me some…some water
EXTRA #2
Water sir?
PUCK
You heard me, as much as you can carry…
GUARDS IN GENERAL
Yes sir! (They walked off stage and I rolled my eyes. I doubt water could kill a powerful witch. I doubt the witch died even in the book…I think the book is phoney personally. It sounds much too stupid. And she bludgeoned Morrible's skull with a trophy? After she was dead…that's idiotic!)
SABRINA
Fiyero…
PUCK
I said silence! (He shouted at me and I didn't cringe. I just bit my lip, acting as if I were wondering on how I would escape. He went behind the head and threw Daniel out)
DANIEL
No, no, no!
PUCK
Quiet your Ozness, unless
You want all your guests to know the truth
About the Wonderful Wizard of Oz (He turned to me his eyes soft but his tone still hard)
Elphaba, I'll find Dillamond later
Now get out of here…
SABRINA
Fiyero…you frightened me
I thought you might have changed
PUCK
I have changed (He was rushing towards me as if to kiss me when Fern walked in. Ah great! Just great! I haven't kissed him in ages! We separated quickly)
FERN
What's going on? (She gasped as she saw me and she rushed over to me.)
Elphie! Thank Oz you're alive. (She hugged me and I returned it gratefully and whole heartedly)
Only you shouldn't have come
If someone discoverates you…
PUCK
Glinda, you'd better go…
FERN
Fiyero, what are you…
PUCK
Please! Just go back to the ball… (Fern, being Fern, ignored him and turned to that annoyingly similar to the Wizard Daniel.)
FERN
Your Ozness, he means no disrespectation
Please understand! You see all of us went to school together
PUCK
Elphaba… (He whispered and Fern looked at him in hurt and shock. I bit my lip and looked at him, smiling. He was looking at me with an intense look)
FERN
Fiyero, have you misplaced your mind?
What are you doing?
PUCK
I'm going with her… (I looked at him in shock and I knew if this was real he say that too…except with a speech about how villainous he was and that I was villainous and we were perfect together and crap while Fern is the Good or something)
FERN
What?
SABRINA
What?
FERN
What are you saying?
You mean all this time…
The two of you…behind my back… (It was heartbreaking and suddenly I realized how much she pain she was feeling…she really did love him. It was like I was going behind her back by loving Puck. And it hurt me…)
SABRINA
N-no…no…no
Glinda, it wasn't like that
PUCK
Well it was… (I stared at him with a 'get a clue Sherlock' look on my face and he backtracked and held out a comforting hand to Fern)
But it wasn't…
Elphaba, let's go…let's go! (He grabbed my hand and we ran off the stage and he rushed to go change into his other costume with the green suspenders. Wow…he looked hot in that costume)
FERN
Fine go!
You deserve each other… (Daniel held out that wretched little green bottle and held it out to her)
DANIEL
Here, have a swig of this
It dulls the pain
FERN
No thank you… (Suddenly Belinda as Madame Morrible walked on stage. Evil witch!)
BELINDA
Ahahahah!
Is it true? Your betrothed has just brought
Her into custody? (Fern made a small sound of anguish and walked away to lean on something)
DANIEL
Our new captain of the guard
Had other plans…
BELINDA
You mean she hasn't been captured
DANIEL
Quite the contrary…
And consider how well she eluded us the last time (I know I was slick and awesome but I still felt horrible about Fern. I hid my face in Puck's chest. His eyes were green and very serious. He felt bad as well)
BELINDA
Well…we'll just flush her out
And force her to show herself
DANIEL
But how? (Fern looked up with vengeance in her eyes. She was angry…no she was pissed. She was beyond pissed. She hated being rejected and she knew that she would have to come to terms that there was one thing she could never have. And that didn't sit well with her)
FERN
Her sister…
BELINDA
What? What did she say?
FERN
Use her sister… (I froze as she stared at Daphne with anger and rage in her voice. I stood in front of her, trying to protect her. Fern glared at me and crossed her arms)
Start a rumor
Make her think her sister is in trouble
She will fly to her side…
And you'll have her.
DANIEL
Exactly so…
FERN
Now, if your Ozness will excuse me
I have a slight headache.
I think I'll lie down (She walked towards the other side of the stage where were weren't. She glared across at us)
BELINDA
Yes, well…a rumor won't do it
Elphaba's too smart for that.
DANIEL
Far too smart…
BELINDA
Perhaps a change in the weather…(That made my blood boil. If she even dared hurt one hair…wait! It's a play. It's a play Sabrina…She lifted her hand and suddenly there was a crash of thunder and lightening. They walked off and Fern walked back on. The music for I'm Not That Girl started up)
FERN
(Sung) Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
There's a girl I know, he loves her so
I'm not that girl… (Then the music ended and As Long As Your Mine started up. Yes! Here we go…)
