The Girl I Mean To Be

by Maleficent-darkgoodwitch2416

Elphaba wants a place of her own, almost gets it, but loses it and passes the knowledge of what she wants onto Glinda, who wishes the same thing for her daughter.

3. Glinda, You Should Know

I own nothing.

Glinda arrived and I handed her a sheet of paper. "Something you should know about me, my friend," I whispered, hugging her. She nodded and after I died, she opened the paper—on it was a note and a song.

"Dear Glinda, I am sorry I never told you—my biggest secret. I want you to know what I've really wanted—besides being accepted—was, um, read the attached paper. I'm not sure what else to say. Except I'm sorry and I wish it didn't have to end this way. Just remember that I'll be always watching out for you. Once in a while, when you really miss me, just look to the Western Sky to find me. Elphie. P.S. Here's the song. 'I need a place where I can go, where I can whisper what I know, where I can whisper who I like and where I go to see them. I need a place where I can hide where no one sees my life inside, and I can make my plans and write them down so I can read them, a place where I can bid my heart be still and it will find me, a place where I can go when I am lost and there I'll find me. I need a place to spend the day, where no one says to go or stay, where I can take my pen and draw the girl I mean to be.'"

Glinda folded up the note and when she had the time, she rewrote the song, memorizing the words.
