AN: I'm sorry for the long wait.

The thing is, I don't like this story myself. A crossover means an awful lot of characters, which means you can't really give them all the depth you want to give them; and I completely lacked inspiration for this one. I didn't really want to finish it anymore, but some of you asked me to, so... yeah.

This is bad, sucky, rushed, and horrendible, but it's an ending, I guess. I figured those of you who did like this story deserved that much. So here it is, but I'm probably going to remove this entire story in some time, because it just sucks.

Anyway, thank you for your lovely reviews, you've all been very nice :).

So... here's the extremely sucky ending of this story .

Chapter 6.

'I'm sorry, William,' Principal Figgins said for what felt like the umpteenth time to Will Schuester. 'The school board doesn't trust it. They're going to investigate this.'

Will sighed. 'We're not doing anything wrong! The Glee kids are just performing the musical Wicked, and Shelby and April are helping me coach them – I don't see what the problem is!'

'The problem,' Figgins stressed, 'is that Sue claims that you've brought strangers into our auditorium and that she's been complaining about the noise…'

'Sue always finds something to complain about!'

'…and the school board feels obligated to investigate it,' Figgins finished, ignoring Will. 'They're sending someone tomorrow. If you're right and you're not doing anything wrong, then nothing's going to happen.'

Shelby, who was standing behind Mr. Schue with April right beside her, snorted. 'Didn't I hear Sue telling you the other day that one of those 'strangers' in the auditorium was green and changed her into a toad?'

Mr. Schue choked and broke into a coughing fit, but Shelby just winked at him. Sometimes, she thought, the truth was so unbelievable that no one who hadn't seen it with their own eyes would believe it. This was one of those times.

As she had hoped, Figgins faltered. 'Well… yes,' he said finally. 'She did say that. It can't be true, of course…'

'Of course it can't be true!' April chimed in with a broad grin in Shelby's direction, knowing what the other woman was thinking and playing along. 'Green people don't exist, and they certainly can't turn anyone into a toad.'

'Besides,' Shelby took over again, 'yesterday Sue suddenly sat down in Will's lap. Don't you think that's strange, too?'

Figgins looked shocked. 'She did?'

April nodded seriously. 'Ask the Glee kids. They'll all confirm it.' She leaned forward and whispered conspiratorially, 'I think Sue is doing drugs.'

Now Figgins looked positively flabbergasted. 'Drugs?' he gasped. 'In my school?'

April nodded again. 'So, you see,' she said triumphantly, crossing her arms, 'you'd better have her checked out, instead of Will, because he is doing nothing wrong.'

Figgins hesitated, then nodded. 'I'll make sure to mention it to the board,' he muttered, before dismissing the three adults.

April smirked. 'That went well.'

Shelby flashed her a grin. 'I know. I can be clever, when I want to be.'

'Thanks, guys,' Will said sincerely. 'I'm not sure it's over yet, but thanks for helping me.'

'We'd better tell Elphie and the others to stay home tomorrow, though,' Shelby warned him. 'If the school board does send an inspector and they see three Ozians walking around, we're doomed.'

Mr. Schue nodded. 'I'll make sure to tell them.'

Luckily, after that, the school board didn't give them much trouble anymore; the inspector they sent declared that he hadn't noticed anything illegal or unusual and so they were allowed to continue practicing and eventually perform the musical. They all cheered when they heard that, and they spent the next few weeks focusing all their attention on the play, practicing with Elphaba, Glinda, and Fiyero, even outside the auditorium. Rachel often went through her lines with Elphaba when they were at home, and Glinda offered Puck to help him with his part. Not that he had such a big part, but he said yes nonetheless, complete with a waggle of his eyebrows – much to Glinda's joy.

On the night of the performance, everyone was nervous. Rachel was chewing her nails and Kurt was looking so pale that Glinda actually thought for a second that he was going to faint.

'You're going to be okay,' Elphaba said reassuringly. She looked around her. 'All of you.'

'I agree with Elphaba on this one,' Mr. Schue announced. He smiled at the green girl, then at his Glee club. 'You've all practiced very well, you know your lines. Everything will go perfectly.' He peeked through the curtains, then turned back. 'The doors are closed. I'm going to welcome our audience. Break a leg.' With that, he disappeared.

Elphaba placed a hand on Rachel's shoulder. 'Remember,' she said, her dark eyes grave. 'Give your own twist to it. Don't try to be me; try to be you. That's what makes you a good actor.'

Kurt looked at Glinda, who was flirtatiously playing with the buttons on Puck's costume. 'Glin? Any last words of advice?'

The blonde pursed her lips thoughtfully. 'Don't touch Rachel's breasts during Popular.'

Kurt went red. 'I wasn't-'

'Yes, you were,' she cut him off sternly. She shooed him away. 'Now go stand in your bubble.'

'We're going to sit in the audience,' Fiyero said. 'Good luck, everyone.'

They all thanked him and the three Ozians sneaked into the auditorium, sitting down on three empty chairs next to Mr. Schue, Shelby, and April.

The show started and Kurt appeared in his bubble. He did a wonderful job on Good News, and everyone applauded for him afterwards. Mr. Schue started to relax a little and Shelby patted his arm. 'Relax, Will. They're doing great.'

He let out a breath. 'I know.'

They watched in silence for a while, Glinda and Elphaba exchanging smiles ones again when on stage, Rachel and Kurt became best friends. Glinda nudged her friend with her elbow. 'I hope he stays away from her breasts.'

Elphaba chuckled and Fiyero snickered. He pointed at the stage. 'Well, Rachel doesn't look too uncomfortable and Kurt seems to have his arm around her neck, not her chest, so…'

Glinda squealed softly. 'Yay! He's doing it right!'

Defying Gravity started and Elphaba's attention was suddenly drawn by something else. Just then, Glinda nudged her again. 'Hey, Elphie. You see that man over there, about three rows ahead of us? He sure looks an awful lot like-'

'You!' Elphaba hissed, jumping to her feet. The man, as if he could feel her gaze on him, turned around and gasped. 'Elphaba?'

Glinda squeaked. 'Oh my Oz, it is him!'

Several objects on stage and all around the audience suddenly started rattling, and Glinda gulped. 'Elphie, calm down,' she ushered. 'You're drawing everyone's attention.'

Luckily, most people seemed to think it was a part of the show, for they cheered and applauded. When the song was over and the curtains closed for the intermission, the man tried to make his way over towards Elphaba.

'Elphaba,' he began, 'please listen to me. I'm your fath-'

'You are no father!' she hissed at him. 'You're a murderer and a fraud, and I hate you!'

The Wizard seemed to deflate a little. 'Elphaba…'

'What are you doing here, anyway?' Glinda asked, annoyed, and he looked up. 'I regret it so much,' he said, tears suddenly in his eyes. 'What I tried to do. I'm not sure why, but I've been visiting many, many productions of the musical Wicked ever since… Perhaps I hoped that something like this would happen. I can't believe you're really here, Elphaba!'

'I can't believe you are here, either,' she sneered, obviously fuming. Fiyero placed a comforting hand on the small of her back. 'Fae…'

'Stay out of this, Fiyero.'

Shelby, April, and Will were just confused. 'Elphaba?' Shelby asked. 'What's going on?'

Elphaba indicated the man in front of her. 'Please welcome our dear old friend,' she said sarcastically, complete with a mock bow, 'the Wizard.'

Will's eyes widened. 'The Wizard?'

Elphaba nodded. 'The one and only.'

Will was still staring at the man. 'But… how?'

'Kansas isn't that far away from Ohio,' the Wizard muttered, and Elphaba threw her hands up in the air. 'I don't believe this,' she declared.

The Wizard looked guilty. 'Elphaba,' he said pleadingly. 'I know you probably hate me, but… but I really regret what I did, and I want to start over. Now that you're here… I want to have a relationship with you.'

She snorted. 'For real?'

Glinda jabbed her finger in his chest. 'Did you really expect that you could just have a nice father-daughter relationship with her?' she fumed. 'After you've tried to kill her?!'

His shoulders slumped. 'I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked that of you.' He sighed. 'I, um… I'm gonna go outside. I need some fresh air.' He looked at Elphaba. 'I'll wait there. Please, just… just think about it,' he begged her. 'I'll understand it if you don't want me in your life in any way, and I promise I'll leave if that is the case, but I just want you to think about it.' With that, he left.

Elphaba was trembling with rage and it took Fiyero, Glinda, and the teachers a long time to calm her down. When she had, she lowered herself in her seat again slowly. 'I can't believe this.'

Fiyero wrapped an arm around her and she leaned into him. 'Elphie?' asked Glinda, and the green girl looked at her friend.

The blonde hesitated, then asked softly, 'Are you really sure you don't want him in your life? I mean… He really does seem sorry, and… perhaps you're just really angry right now…'

But Elphaba just shook her head. 'I can't, Glin,' she said quietly, and the blonde didn't push the issue. She understood.

'Besides,' the green girl continued, 'we're going to go back to Oz soon. It's pretty hard to establish a relationship with someone living in another world.'

'True,' Fiyero agreed, and Shelby, Will, and April all looked crestfallen. 'Do you have to go back?' April asked in a whiny voice, and Glinda hugged her fellow blonde. 'Sorry, but yes.' Then she squealed. 'Oh, it's starting again!'

Fiyero looked at Elphaba worriedly. 'Are you okay?' he asked her, and she laid her head against his shoulder again, nodding tiredly. 'Fine.'

The rest of the show went amazingly well, and the audience was extremely enthusiastic. The Ozians and the teachers went backstage to congratulate the cast.

'Elphaba,' Rachel whispered when the two were semi-alone for a moment. 'I heard there was some commotion during the intermission.'

Elphaba smiled wryly. 'And the fact that it was a commotion already gave away that it had something to do with me?'

The other girl blushed. 'Sorry,' she began, but Elphaba shook her head. 'Don't be. It's true, after all. I don't cause commotions…'

'I am one!' they finished together, and Rachel giggled. 'So it did have something to do with you?'

Elphaba sighed. 'I discovered the Wizard sitting among the audience.'

Rachel blinked at her. 'The Wizard?' Her eyes widened. 'You mean…'

'Yes. Him.' She sighed. 'I'm not sure what to do with him,' she confessed. 'He's waiting outside for me, but frankly, I don't want anything to do with him. I'm going to return to Oz soon, along with Fiyero and Glinda, and I'm hoping I won't ever have to see him again.'

'Do you know how?' Kurt asked, stepping up next to Rachel, and Elphaba nodded. 'I do, actually. The other day, you know, when the inspector of the school board came here and Fiyero, Glin and I were cooped up inside Rachel's home one day… I've been going over the Grimmerie again and again, and with Glinda's help, I located the mistake I made last time – the one that landed us here. I know what to do to get back.'

Most of the other Glee members overheard, and they gathered around the green witch. 'You do?' asked Mercedes. She frowned, puzzled. 'Then why are you still here?'

'Yeah,' Puck agreed. 'I thought you said you would only stay and help us so that we could help you get home in return, but if you didn't need our help anymore… why did you stay?'

'Because I want to marry you!' Glinda blurted out, earning her a whack in the back of her head from Elphaba. 'Ouch!' the blonde wailed. 'That hurt!'

Puck flashed her a grin. 'Don't worry, Glinda, I think you're sexy, too. But I'm not really one for marriage.'

Glinda pouted. 'Well, it was worth a try, wasn't it?' she defended herself.

Elphaba rolled her eyes. 'No, that's not why we stayed.' She shrugged. 'We just… didn't really want to leave.'

Glinda nodded in agreement. 'We love you guys,' she said dramatically. 'And we didn't want to leave you behind...'

'We wanted to stay at least until the show,' added Fiyero. 'We wouldn't have missed it for the world.'

'And besides me, you guys are the only friends Elphie has ever had!' Glinda chimed in, earning her another smack from Elphaba. 'How about you keep your mouth shut from now on?' She looked around, at all the Glee club members, as well as the teachers, that had grown to be their friends in the past period of time. 'We should go,' she said quietly. 'I want to be out of here before the Wizard spots me again and things get even more complicated.'

Rachel touched her arm. 'I understand.'

The Glee club walked the Ozians outside via the back door. Rachel peered around the corner to take a look at the main entrance. 'Wait. Is that the Wizard?' she asked.

Elphaba went to stand next to her to spy on him. 'Yep. That's him.'

'Huh.' Rachel shook her head. 'I had expected someone more… I don't know…'

'Powerful?' offered Elphaba. 'So had I, when I first met him – but then again, we all know now that he doesn't really have any power at all, does he? And I'm glad about that, too, or he would probably come after us.' She sighed.

'What are you going to do, once you're back in Oz?' asked Blaine. Elphaba shrugged. 'Live our lives,' she said. 'Fiyero and I have found ourselves a small home in the Vinkus, where the people have always been slightly less wary of the Wicked Witch of the West… we have to stay in hiding, but that's okay. Glinda knows we're alive and so do Fiyero's parents, and that's the most important thing.' She smiled. 'It's not much, but it's enough. I don't need much excitement in my life – I've had enough of that to last a lifetime, thank you very much.'

Mercedes laughed. 'We're gonna miss you, Elphaba,' she said, hugging the green girl.

Kurt and Rachel, and Glinda as well, were blubbering as they hugged one another and said their goodbyes. 'We won't ever see you again, will we?' Kurt asked, and Fiyero shook his head. 'Not very likely, no.'

'But… but we're going to miss you so much!' said Rachel in a small voice, her lower lip trembling a little. Kurt comfortingly wrapped an arm around her shoulder, though there were tears in his own eyes as well. 'Isn't there any way we could see you again?'

'Look to the Western sky?' Elphaba offered lamely. It was a bad joke, but it made them all chuckle slightly. Elphaba laughed, too. 'Seriously, though,' she said, looking around. 'We might just try and pay another visit to Lima, Ohio.' She looked at Rachel. 'Please take care of the Wizard for me.'

Rachel nodded enthusiastically. 'Take care of him. We will.'

Elphaba eyed her warily. 'I just meant to send him away,' she clarified. 'Not literally 'take care of him' in the sense that I want you to kill him.'

Rachel's face fell slightly. 'Oh.'

'But you can, if you want to,' offered Glinda, at which they all laughed again. Elphaba hugged Mr. Schue. 'Thank you. I've had a wonderful time.'

'No, thank you,' he said with a smile. 'The musical wouldn't have been half as good without you guys.'

'Take care, blondie,' April told Glinda.

'You, too.' They embraced. 'And don't ever forget to toss your hair,' Glinda reminded the other blonde, who chuckled. 'I'll try to remember.'

Elphaba pulled out the Grimmerie. 'Ready?'

Fiyero and Glinda nodded, and the green witch started chanting. A cloud of green smoke surrounded the Ozians, Glinda enthusiastically waved at everyone one more time… and then they were gone.

Rachel woke up when her alarm went off. She blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the fact that it was morning… the morning of the auditions for this year's musical at William McKinley High School, Wicked.

She'd never had such a strange dream before, she thought as she switched off her alarm and got out of bed to brush her teeth. It had seemed so real… but then again, Elphaba, Glinda, and Fiyero really existing and coming to Lima to help the Glee club with their musical? Not very likely. She chuckled to herself, then smiled at her mirror image.

Who knew? Maybe the dream had been a sign of good luck. Maybe it did mean something.

After all, she really was perfect for the role of Elphaba.

Gaaaaah. I can't believe I even put this up, this must be the suckiest thing I've ever written... but, well, yeah.
