Wicked Comet part 12
(A.N this chapter is script reliant for the most; I may modify some quotes from the script in this chapter too)
Several of the Wizard's guards burst into the throne room, brandishing weapons that could easily cut through flesh like a knife through butter!
"ELPHABA, GET OUT OF THERE!" Rich shouted again through the radio.
Elphaba backed away from the guards and was about to take flight on her broom, when the guards surrounded her!
Glancing around herself to check for any possible methods of escape and when she did, she saw Fiyero dressed in the uniform of the captain of the guard!
"Are you alright your Ozness?" Fiyero asked the Wizard whilst pointing the rifle he held at Elphaba.
"Is that Fiyero?" Rich exclaimed through the radio.
Elphaba ignored him however as she exclaimed,
"Fiyero!"
"I don't believe it…." Fiyero said in surprise.
Elphaba started forwards towards Fiyero whilst saying,
"Oh, Fiyero, thank God. I thought you were..."
But she was cut off and forced back by Fiyero's reply,
"Silence witch!"
"That was hurtful" Rich commented through the radio.
One of the guards said "There's a goat on the lam sir!"
"Never mind that, Fetch me some water" Fiyero ordered.
"Water sir?" another guard asked.
"You heard me, as much as you can carry" Fiyero ordered.
The guards saluted Fiyero and said loudly,
"YES SIR!" before they sprinted out of the throne room.
"Fiyero…" Elphaba started, unsure of what to say before Fiyero cut her off again.
"I said Silence!" Fiyero shouted.
Fiyero then moved behind the wizard head, where the wizard was hiding, and dragged him from behind the head!
The Wizard cried out,
"NO, NO!" before Fiyero threw the wizard down at the foot of the wizard head and pointed his rifle at the Wizard.
"Don't make a sound, your Ozness, unless you want all your guests to know the truth about the Wonderful Wizard of Oz" Fiyero warned the Wizard in a threatening tone.
And then to Elphaba, Fiyero said "Elphaba, I'll find Doctor Dillamond later, now get out of here."
"Fiyero, you frightened me. I thought, I thought you might have changed." Elphaba said to Fiyero.
"I have changed" Fiyero admitted.
It was at this moment that Glinda, dressed in a beautiful sparkly silver ballgown came darting into the room.
"What's going on...? Elphie? Oh, thank Oz you're alive! Only you shouldn't have come. If anyone discoverates you ..." Glinda said before she trailed off mid-sentence as she noticed Elphaba and darted over to embrace her friend.
"Glinda, you'd better go." Fiyero said to Glinda.
"Fiyero, what are you..." Glinda asked after finishing her embrace with Elphaba, not quite understanding what Fiyero was saying.
"Please, just go back to the ball." Fiyero said to Glinda in a desperate tone.
"Your Ozness, he means no disrespectation. Please understand! You see, we all went to school together..." Glinda said to the Wizard after she noticed him on the ground, leaning against the wizard head.
"Elphaba!" Fiyero said to Elphaba urgently whilst gesturing to the exit. Glinda noticed this and exclaimed,
"Fiyero, have you misplaced your mind? What are you doing?"
"I'm going with her." Fiyero said calmly, as if he had planned this for a long time.
"What?" Glinda Exclaimed.
"What?" Elphaba exclaimed, just as surprised as Glinda.
"WHAT?" Rich exclaimed loudly through the radio, which made Elphaba curse under her breath, which thankfully no-one noticed.
"What? What are you saying? You mean all this time... the two of you... behind my back..." Glinda stuttered.
"No, Glinda it wasn't like that!" Elphaba tried to say but Fiyero interrupted with,
"Actually, it was...but it wasn't...Elphaba, let's go... let's go!" and at that, Fiyero grabbed Elphaba's hand and they both sprinted out of the room.
Once the two had climbed onto the roof, Elphaba and Fiyero both climbed onto the Broom and they took off into the night.
"Rich, I have Fiyero with me, meet us at the forest rendezvous point" Elphaba said into the radio.
"Roger" was Rich's response.
"Who are you talking to?" Fiyero asked Elphaba.
"Rich" was Elphaba's reply.
"Where is Rich?" Fiyero asked Elphaba.
"Oh, he was circling the Emerald City this whole time in the Comet since before you entered the room and found me and the wizard" Elphaba replied.
"He was?" Fiyero asked in astonishment.
"Rich can fly the Comet very stealthily when he needs to" Elphaba replied.
They flew on for a long while until Elphaba landed the broom in the very clearing where she and Rich had stopped to rest the day they "Defied Gravity"
Rich had already landed there and had started a small campfire for light and warmth, whilst he refuelled the Comet with the supplies that he had hidden in the clearing if he ever returned there with the Comet.
"Ah, I was wondering when you two would get here" Rich called out to them as Elphaba and Fiyero joined him next to the campfire.
As Elphaba and Fiyero sat down next to each other, Rich got out some tins of beans from a crate that he had stored in the Comet and began cooking them on the fire.
Fiyero and Elphaba both couldn't believe they were together at last. But both knew that they would have to make their time together fast since there was a chance of one of them dying since the Gale Force would probably be hunting for them as they sat there.
Elphaba looked away from Fiyero and smiled to herself.
"What is it?" Fiyero asked.
Elphaba turned back to Fiyero and said softly,
"It's just…. For the first time, i feel….. WICKED!"
Elphaba then pulled Fiyero into a passionate kiss.
Rich respectfully averted his eyes from the kissing lovebirds and smiled to himself.
Rich was truly happy for his cousin and hoped that she would have a long and happy life with Fiyero.
Once Fiyero and Elphaba had stopped kissing, they held each other close, neither willing to let the other go.
"I just wish..." Elphaba said quietly.
"What?" Fiyero asked.
"I wish I could be beautiful... for you." Elphaba replied softly.
"Elphaba..." Fiyero began before Elphaba cut him off.
"Don't tell me that I am, you don't need to lie to me." Elphaba said.
"It's not lying! It's... uh... it's looking at things another way. Someday, you and Glinda will make up and we'll all..." Fiyero said, trying to comfort Elphaba.
But before Fiyero could finish his sentence, Elphaba suddenly pulled away from Fiyero and sat bolt upright, her eyes wide with fear!
