I ran over to Alistair and asked, "Did you miss me?" "Of course, I did," he replied. I hugged him and said, "Tiffany, have you been staying out of trouble—no attracting any dangerous things here to Shiz?" I rolled my eyes and said, "Shut up, Alistair." He grinned impishly—giving me the smile I could never resist—and I said, "Nothing bad has happened, yet."

Later, Elphaba asked, "What did Alistair mean when he said, 'Tiffany, have you been staying out of trouble—no attracting any dangerous things here to Shiz?'" I grinned and said, "I'm a bit of a danger magnet, sis." She nodded quietly and Nessa, who'd heard me, laughed and I rolled my eyes at her.

Then I said, "Nessa, do you think Father would get mad at me if I were to take you to see some really stupid, but still very violent movie?" "Like corrupt me?" she asked. "Yup," I replied. Elphaba glared at me and said, "No movie." I scowled and muttered, "Party pooper." Nessa laughed again.

Then I rejoined Alice and asked, "Alice, give me an estimate. In reality, how long will Elphaba and Galinda really loathe each other?" Alice rolled her eyes and said, "Up until the middle of next week." I laughed and said, "And we'll all be friends then." Alice nodded and said, "Are you a psychic or something?" "Maybe," I laughed.
