This chapter is mostly just Elphaba, but the Doctor has an important role in the end.
I don't own Wicked or Doctor Who
Chapter 5: Meeting the Good
The Doctor, Elphaba, Fiyero, Boq and Brrr arrived in the Tiggular family castle at Kiamo Ko by nightfall and everyone, besides the Doctor, slept by the time they stepped inside. The next day, everyone is completely busy doing something. Elphaba is with Fiyero in her bedroom she's slept in the castle trying to find a spell that could change Fiyero back into a human. "Fae, you don't have do this right now."
"Of course I have to do this, Fiyero. It's my fault that got hurt and turned you into this."
"We'll you would've do this until we finish on how we have to keep you safe from the Wizard's goons."
"Don't worry, they won't get past the forest since they're to afraid of passing there."
"But what if someone brave enough pass the forest and found you sitting around in my castle?"
"*sigh* You're right. I shouldn't worry about it all the time since this is a temporary thing. Plus I haven't eaten a thing since yesterday morning." Elphaba and Fiyero went downstairs and found Brrr with Doctor who is doing something to Boq.
"Can you explain to me what you doing to me again?" Boq irritably ask the Doctor.
"Trying to find any spare parts inside you. Since you are the only steel thing I could find in this castle, you might have something useful on you."
"You said you have two hearts. Can I borrow one of yours?"
"No. Like all other humans, they need their hearts to keep them alive. But for me, I need both. At least your not a Cyberman."
"What's a Cyberman?"
"They are a dangerous emotionless steel men who converts people into them. But they need people to keep their survival rqther than a heart."
"Can you teach me how to get this courage, Doctor? You sure showed it when you stopped that steel man and Elphaba from killing each other." Brrr asked the Doctor.
"You see Brrr, courage is not a thing, but a concept. You sure showed a lot of courage when you came to attack us in the forest. What you need to do is to not get too scared all the time. Only get scared when the situation turns really dangerous." Just then they heard a knock a door and everyone seems very cautious.
"Is this situation really serious now, Doctor?" Brrr scaredly ask.
"Could be. No one knows where Elphaba is hiding and the forest looks really dangerous for a common man to cross over."
"I'll go see who it is." Elphaba said
"No you can't go Elphaba! What if it's the Gale Force coming to get you!" Fiyero worriedly tells Elphaba.
"Don't worry Fiyero. If it's really the Gale Force, I'm prepared. And besides, they have spears and pikes while I have magic that could turn their weapons into snakes." Elphaba went to the door and heard a voice coming from outside.
"Hello. Does anyone live in this castle?" someone said outside the door.
Elphaba peeked behind the door and the person knocking is revealed to be Glinda the Good. "Glinda?" Elphaba said as she opened the door fully. When Glinda saw her opening the door, she give Elphaba a threatening look and Elphaba also gave Glinda a threatening look. "What are you doing here?!" Elphaba angrily asked her.
"Me?! What are you doing here?!" Glinda asked her, "I thought that you might already be dead by the Wizard's secret police or by that Doctor person."
"Hiding from you that's what!" Elphaba shouted at her while pointing broom at her, "Now tell me, why are you here anywhere?!"
"I just wanted to say that I'm.." Glinda hesitated.
"Well, spit it out!" Elphaba shouted.
"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry."
"What?"
"I said I'm sorry!" Elphaba lowered her broom and Glinda is on the verge of crying, "Its just that you're right. I've been selfish all the time and I'm also sorry for what happened to you. Oh Elphie, I couldn't live in a world without you. I never met a friend who is caring like you. Because I knew you, I've been change for good."
Elphaba then proceeded hug Glinda and cry on her. "I'm sorry too, Glinda. I've been so preoccupied changing Oz, but I never think about my friends. You're the only friend that I have. I too been change for good because of you."
"Thank you for accepting my apologies Elphie. This time, I'll defy gravity with you." Glinda looked inside and Fiyero and Boq, who were peeking from the lounge, slid back in, but Glinda noticed them. "Oh, I see that you aren't alone Elphie."
"Don't worry guys, she's totally safe." Elphaba laughed. Fiyero and Boq came out first and Glinda was really interested in them.
"Oooh, they look like an interested bunch. Who are you Mr. Scarecrow?"
"Glinda it's me Fiyero."
"Fiyero?"
"Yeah, it's me. Fae did this to save me from the Gale Force."
Glinda took a closer look at Fiyero and she tightly hugged him. "Oh Fifi, I'm sorry for letting you get beat up yesterday."
"It's okay, Glinda. I know that you didn't really wanted to get me killed. And you can stop hugging me already." Fiyero said as he struggling for air.
"Oops, sorry. And who are you supposed to be?"
"It's me, Miss Galinda, Boq."
"Oh I remember you Bic, and it's Glinda now. How how you?"
"It's Boq and I'm fine when Elphaba change me back."
"Elphaba, who was that on the door?" the Doctor asked as he walked out of the lounge.
"Are friend of Elphie's?"
"Of course I am. I'm the Doctor." When Glinda heard his name, Glinda got in front of Elphaba and pointed her wand against him.
"Elphie get away from him! I heard this man is dangerous!"
"It's okay Glinda, he actually save me from the Gale Force when they tried to arrest back in Munchkinland."
"What?!"
"It's true. Let's do this introductions again. Hello, I'm the Doctor." The Doctor hold out his arm and waited for Glinda to shake his hand. Glinda hesitated at first, but decided to shake his hand.
"It's very nice to meet you Doctor." she told him, "I thought he was supposed to be look old and really ugly." Glinda whispered to Elphaba.
"I heard that. I may look young, but I'm a thousand years old."
"I'm also very grateful to see you Miss Glinda! My name is Brrr and I will do my best to keep you safe." Brrr then shake Glinda's really hard, but seems to like the lion.
"It's also very nice to meet you too Brrr."
"Now then, how are we supposed to defeat the wizard ever since his only stronghold for the public is now working for public enemy #1?" the Doctor asked.
"We'll we could try to expose the Wizard as a phony to the public." Glinda suggested.
"And my family has got six of this weird contraption in this castle since they are fond of them." Fiyero said.
"What contraption?" the Doctor asked.
"It's right over there over that desk." Fiyero pointed at the desk that is next to Elphaba. The Doctor looked at the desk and was fond of them.
"Doctor what is that?" Elphaba asked.
"It's a radio. A device from Earth where sound can travel in great distance. This one is probably around in the 1920s to be exact. If I could convert them as mini microphone, we talk to each other from greater distance in the wizard's palace." Just then they heard a noise coming from upstairs. The Doctor counted everyone, including himself, and found that everyone is present but no one is upstairs.
