The father said, "Elphaba take this girl back to our house. She'll go to Shiz with you and your sister." I stood up and snapped, "I can walk, but you probably can't, considering the fact I had to have broken something." Elphaba smacked me and I grinned at her. That was when she noticed how tall I really was. I glared at her and said, "No, I'm not a giant, no, I'm not eighteen, yes, I've always been tall for my age, no, I'm not telling you why."
Elphaba nodded and said, "You're a freak, Max." I whacked her angrily and snapped, "Tell me something I don't know." Then Elphaba turned around and said, "Let me know if I'm going to crash. So we're going to Shiz, like, tomorrow, and it's, like, the biggest college in all of Oz, 'cause anybody who's anybody goes there, like the children of high-ranking officials, like me and my sister, but you'll see, my father, the governor, treats me as a servant, just because I'm green. You don't mind my skin do you?" I stopped and when she was realized I wasn't walking, she walked back to me. I looked at her and said, "First of all, you're reminding me of my younger sister, Nudge, who talks, a lot. No, I don't mind your skin." Then my face suddenly fell and she said, "What?" I sighed and said, "If there was one thing I'd want, and could have, from you, it would be for you to join forces with me..." "Why?" She asked. "To save the world," I finished darkly. Elphaba paused and said, "From what and what's with the freaky voice?" "From being blown up, and I wanted to see if I could scare you." She nodded and said, "It worked, a little." I grinned evilly at her and she slapped me. I stomped on her foot.
Then I asked, "Are you overly excited or something?" Elphaba nodded and said, "Yup. I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait." I reached over and pressed my hand over her mouth and said, "How about this? You shut up and no one gets hurt." Elphaba nodded and I sighed with relief. Then I asked, "How do I get out of here, away from Oz?" She shrugged and I said, "Well, I can't save the world if I'm not home. Wait, I can." Elphaba stared at me and said, "There's another me, we call her Max II. The only difference is she can cook and I can't." Then Elphaba asked, "Where did you learn to swear like that?" I shrugged and said, "My father, the scientists or 'whitecoats' who helped make me become such a freak, as my family and I call them, and these wolf-men hybrids, or Erasers as me and my family call them." "Why do you call the wolf-men hybrids Erasers?" Elphaba asked. I thought hard and then said, "Well, basically, they're always blood-thirsty, usually armed, and currently always chasing me and my family. Basically they want to rip out our throats and make sure the world never finds out about us. To them we're prey smart enough to be a fun challenge." She nodded in mute horror.
