Questions, Laughs, and Don't Let Anything Get To Your Head! *cough* the Wizard *cough*
I sat in my room and said, "Alright, get downstairs and let's start asking the questions! When we left you last time, Elphaba had just threatened all of you if didn't review or ask a question that she and her sister, Miss Nessarose—gotta love the Thropp sisters—would magic-spell you. Hey, it worked. Note to self—let Elphaba do that again—it worked."
I rejoined the others and said, "Okay, we're going to start with some questions from our newest—well, I think it's our newest reader—reader, SideshowJazz1." Nessa asked, "When do we get our questions?" "Right now," I said. "Okay, question 1, Nessa, I'm kind of confused about your shoes in the musical. Are they silver or ruby?" Nessa sighed and said, "Okay, the shoes—they're actually both silver and ruby in the musical. Let me explain why. When Father originally gives me the shoes, they are jeweled silver shoes. After Elphaba enchants them—they turn ruby." "Oh, you know, I was wondering about that, too," I admitted. "I was just too scared to ask." Nessa nodded silently.
"Okay, question two is for Dorothy. Dorothy, I'm sorry, but why did you just cry when you were trapped? Didn't you try to form an escape plan?" Dorothy looked at me and said, "Okay! You want to know why I just cried? I was scared! I was hungry! I was tired! I wanted to go home! I did think to attempt to escape, but did you forget she's got flying monkeys and they'd catch me if her guards didn't, before I got very far—despite how fast I ran. There, happy now?" "Yes," I snapped. "Now, sit down, and shut up!" Elphaba yelled at Dorothy. "Sorry, Elphaba, but you have to be nice to Dorothy during the interview." Elphaba scowled sullenly at me, but nodded silently in agreement—she clearly was not happy with the situation and what I'd just told her, because she wanted to murder Dorothy—not that anyone blamed her—and Glinda also wanted to murder Dorothy for killing Elphaba, because Elphaba was her best friend and Glinda had watched helplessly as she died a painful death.
"Okay, there's also a shout out for all the characters who were students at Shiz..." I said. "What's Shiz?" Dorothy asked. Everyone, from Oz, including the Wizard and myself—even though technically we're not from Oz—stared at her in disbelief. Elphaba threw up her hands in frustration and said, "Only the best and most prestigious school in all of Oz." I grinned and said, "Yep—I want to go there, but I don't live in Oz." *pout* "Back to what I was saying, before I was interrupted." *Pointed glare at Dorothy from everyone else in the room, except for Toto* "Okay. Here it is. Just a shout out to all the characters that were students at Shiz, I think you're all really cool!" "Thank you," Elphaba, Glinda, and Nessa all said. Fiyero grinned and said, "Thanks." Boq said, "Um, yeah, thanks, I guess."
I grinned at them and said, "Now we're getting questions from one of our most popular reviewers—darkgemwildcat—I'll read the whole thing at once, so let me finish reading before you start answering. Remember your question. Haha. But I want Dorothy to die... hehe. So I have a question for the wizard, "Do you have any sort of mental illness that causes you to be a jerk? And to the evil little farm girl: I dare you to beg forgiveness to Nessa and Elphaba. To Glinda: Are you really a blonde? Or do you die it? To Elphaba: What was the happiest moment of your life? To Fiyero: What was the happiest moment of your life? And a question for EVERYONE to answer: If you could go back and change ANYTHIGN you have ever done, what would you change? And also to Elphaba: I just want to say that YOU ROCK AND YOU ARE MY ROLE MODEL! Alright, Wizard start us off."
The Wizard shrugged and said, "Um, I might—I haven't seen a doctor in years." I nodded and said, "Dorothy? Get up!" She leapt out of her chair and I said, "Okay, I only have a few requests—don't call Elphaba the Witch and use both Thropp sisters' full names—Elphaba and Nessarose Thropp." Dorothy gulped and then she began. "Elphaba and Nessarose Thropp I would like to humbly beg your forgiveness for murdering both of you. Nessa, I'm so, so, so, so sorry about dropping the house on you—I just didn't know how to steer a flying house then and Elphaba, I didn't mean to throw the bucket of water on you and for you to die—I was only trying to save you from being burned—I wanted you to survive, but I didn't know you were allergic to water." I nodded and said, "Glinda?" "First question, yes, second question, no," she said. "One word answers—that works." "Elphaba?" I asked. "The whole As Long As You're Mine moment I had with Fiyero or else when he came and got me or One Short Day—I can't decide—but I'm definitely leaning toward As Long As You're Mine. And, darkgemwildcat, thanks for thinking I rock and making me your role model. I have to admit I think you're totally awesome, too." "Fiyero?" I called. "As Long As You're Mine, because I get to be with Elphaba." "Okay, we're going down the line with the final question—I'll say your name and you answer it. Nessa!" I called. "Um, when I was so mean to Elphaba—I love her to death and she's the best sister in the world—and I would be nicer to her and I'd let her stay, but not in the wardrobe, unless we were trying to scare someone—we did that to Father once and it was hilarious." "Boq!" I said. Boq gulped and said, "I'd say asking Nessa to the dance and then hurting her—I'd ask her, but instead of hurting her, I'd learn to love her, by being her friend." "Sweet, Boq," Nessa said. "Glinda!" I said. "When I didn't get on the broom with Elphaba, I'd get on it instead." I nodded, and said, "Okay, Elphaba!" "Um, flying off the handle at the Wizard's—I'd control my temper and I wouldn't cast the spell until I knew more about what was going on and why the Wizard wanted Chistery to be able to fly so badly." "Fiyero?" I asked. "Um, pointing the gun at Glinda and then dropping it. What I should have done was keep pointing the gun at Glinda and back away until I could no longer be seen. Then run for it, eventually reuniting with Fae." I smiled at the two lovers—Elphaba and Fiyero—with the sweet smile you give people in love. "Wizard!" I said. "Um, arranging Elphaba's—I'd try to find a way to save her—like finding out who her father really was sooner—it would be Glinda's job to save her, though." "Horrible Morrible?" I asked, cringing away from her. "Telling Elphaba about meeting the Wizard—then none of this would have happened." "Dorothy!" I snarled. "Melting Elphaba and dropping the house on Nessa—if I didn't do that, no one would hate me and I wouldn't be afraid of them. And I shouldn't have tried to run away, but it was all Miss Gulch's fault, because she wanted to kill Toto."
"Alright, Elphaba, Nessa, and Glinda send us home," I called. The threesome of witches all nodded and both stood up. "If you don't give us questions, again, we will magic-spell you," both sisters and the older sister's best friend all said at the same time. I grinned at the two Thropp sisters and Glinda and I said, "You gotta love the Thropp sisters especially when you put Glinda with them."
