"And we're back with Nia's Q & A with Wicked Characters!" Nia announced as the audience cheered.
"Finally!" Dorothy complained, stretching.
"Shhh! We need to start! Our first question is from LifeinWatercolor for everyone,What's a superpower that you wish you could have?"
"Mind control!" Morrible shouted.
"Time control!" Elphaba retorted.
"X-ray vision," Boq said.
"Controlling the elements, like the Avatar!" Nessa exclaimed.
"Invisibility," Glinda said, playing with her wand.
"I don't know. I never thought about it," Dorothy said.
"All the power in the world!" the Wizard said, standing up with his hands in the air. That earned him a weird looks from everyone. He cleared his throat and continued. "Flying would be nice," he said, sitting down.
"Okay, then," Nia said, not removing her eyes from the Wizard. "Our next question is from Eriphabottackson and it's for everyone, If you had a fanfiction account, what kind of Wicked stories would you write? (Fiyeraba one shots, Elphie and Fiyero having kids, Glinda post- For Good, etc)?"
"What is fanfiction?" asked Dorothy.
"Do I have to explain everything?" Nia asked, rubbing her head.
"You never explain anything!" Boq shouted.
Nia glared at him. Boq looked away, afraid that something would fall on him if he said another word.
"Glinda and Fiyero stories!" Glinda said, glaring at her former fiancée.
"Fiyeraba oneshots," answered Elphaba.
"Elphaba and Fiyero having kids!" Fiyero said. Elphaba smacked him on the back of the head. "Shut up!" she scolded him. Fiyero rubbed the back of his head and Nia laughed at him.
"Gloq stories!" Boq said. Glinda took off one of her heals and threw it at Boq's tin head. It made a loud banging sound.
"I would write stores about Boq and me together, but now I'm not so sure now," Nessa said, glaring at Boq.
"Elphaba and I being happy together," the Wizard said.
"The Wicked Witch of the West surrendering and me becoming the sole ruler of Oz," Morrible shouted.
"I would write a Wizard of Oz story," Dorothy smiled.
"Out next review is from Moreanswers24, Don't change Boq back, remove Dorothy's pillow and I dare Dorothy to jump off a cliff without any assistance of Broom, bubble or any other magic." Nia crackled like Elphaba and a cliff outside the studio appeared.
"I can't believe it! Why does everyone hate me?" Dorothy exclaimed.
"Everyone doesn't have you," Nia said, putting extra emphasis on everyone. "There's bound to be a Wicked fan out there that pities you. Though I doubt it."
"I'm not jumping off a cliff. It's demeaning!" Dorothy said crossing her arms.
"I'm sorry, but I can't have Dorothy die when I still need her to answer questions. But, I can remove her pillow." The pillow under Dorothy disappeared and left Dorothy sitting on the bare floor. "This floor is cold!" she complained.
" Our next guest is Elphaba'sGirl. She has a lot. Thank you! Dorothy, Do you have a brain? That also goes for Morrible and the Wizard."
"I have a brain!" Dorothy said.
"But, do you use it?" Nia asked, writing everything down.
"Of course we do!" Dorothy, Morrible and the Wizard said at the same time.
"Fiyero, you have a perfectly legit excuse, especially since you met Elphaba (She does make everyone's lives better, doesn't she?)"
"Yes, she does," Fiyero said. Elphaba didn't know if she should slap him or blush, so she just looked down.
"Glinda; how many pairs of shoes do you own?"
"A lot. Too many to count."
"Your Terribleness; (I address you as such not out of respect but because you truly are terrible) I dare you to let Elphaba choose any spell from the Grimmerie to case on you (Elphie, please don't kill him. I'm not done yet. Maiming is acceptable.)"
"Wizard, I think that mean you," Nia said in a serious tone when no one answered.
"It could mean the Morrible. She's terrible," The Wizard defended himself.
"No, sorry, it's you." A smile crept onto Nia's face.
"I don't have the Grimmerie. I gave it to Glinda at the end of the musical," Elphaba said, looking disappointed.
Nia gestured to Elphaba's lap and the Grimmerie appeared. Elphaba smiled and flipped through the pages. She crackled when she found a spell.
"You have to teach me how to crackle like that!" Nia said.
"Any time!" Elphaba grinned. She went over to the Wizard and began to chant. A few seconds later, lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck the Wizard. "Ow! That hurt!" the Wizard exclaimed.
"It's supposed to! It's lightning! That's the point!" Elphaba said as she closed the Grimmerie. Lightning struck again. "You can stay like that until you get another question," Nia said. More lightning.
"I want Elphaba to throw a bucket of water on Dorothy's head. SEE HOW IT FEELS FARM BRAT!"
"YES!" shouted Elphaba. "Thank you!" A bucket of water appeared on the floor next to Elphaba. Dorothy looked at her with wide eyes, wondering if she was really going to do it or not.
"I hope you melt!" Elphaba said before she dumped the entire bucket on Dorothy's head. Dorothy let out a high-pitched scream. "Wow! I didn't even know that note existed. Well done, Dorothy!" Nia said as the audience cheered for Elphaba.
"Wizard; I want Glinda to whack you on the head with her wand!"
Lightning stopped striking the Wizard. Glinda stood up and approached the Wizard from behind. She whacked him on the head and took him by surprise. "Ow! What the heck was that for?"
"A reviewer wanted her to do that," Nia said simply.
"What?"
"Never mind. Next, we welcome Mad-Idina-Fan98. She says, No Boq you cannot get changed back."
"What?" Boq shouted.
"Don't interrupt me while I'm reading a question!" Nia snapped at him.
"Aha, Glinda, have you forgiven Elphie and Yero? Surely you must have, they're your best friends and they deserve happiness together. Fish, why are you so heartless and ugly and covered in make up? Dorothy, why are you such an annoying little brat? And why would you try to kill my Elphie what did she ever do to you? Wizard, I just want to say you have the most incredible daughter ever and you tried to kill her, you heartless beast. Yero, if you had one wish what would it be? Elphie, if you had one wish what would it be?"
Glinda looked down. "I guess I'm over the whole Fiyero dumping me for Elphaba thing. They are my best friends and I want them to be happy together." The audience awed at the heartfelt confession. Nia whipped her eyes with a tissue that she pulled out of the air.
"Fish? What fish?" Morrible asked.
"She means you!" Nia said dryly, filing her nails.
"I'm not a fish!" Morrible protested.
"Just answer the question!" Nia snapped, pointing her nail file at Morrible.
"First of all, I'm not heartless. Boq's the heartless one!"
"Thanks for bringing that up," Boq said as he played cards with his other floor mates.
"Second, I'm not ugly. I'm unique."
"Tell that to someone who cares!" Elphaba muttered.
"And third, I wear make-up because it makes me feel beautiful. It's not easy being me!"
"Firstly, it's not easy being GREEN! No offence," Nia said, looking at Elphaba.
"Non taken," Elphaba responded.
"She tried to kill me!" Dorothy said, pointing at Elphaba.
"Oh please!" Elphaba retorted.
"She tried to kill me and steal my shoes!"
"Technically, they're my shoes!" Nessa interrupted.
"You killed my sister!" Elphaba yelled at the young girl.
"It's not my fault!" Dorothy shouted.
"She right. It's the Wizard's fault," Nia said.
"What?!" the Wizard asked.
"You told Dorothy to kill Elphaba. Dorothy didn't know any better. And I'm only defending Dorothy because I grew up watching The Wizard of Oz. That's the only reason." Nia wanted to make that very clear.
"Thank you… I think," Dorothy said, placing her finger to her chin.
"I said that I was sorry!" the Wizard said, looking up from his card game.
"No, you didn't!" Elphaba shouted at him.
"Apologize, now!" Nia commanded him.
"I'm sorry," he muttered under his breath.
"Like you mean it!" Nia said, pulling a lightning bolt out of nowhere.
The Wizard stared at the lightning bolt for a while before turning back to Elphaba.
"Elphaba, I'm so sorry that I ruined your life," the Wizard said sincerely.
Elphaba looked away, not wanting to forgive him yet.
"That will have to do, for now. Hey, Elphaba, look on the bright side, at least he sounded sincere," Nia said hopefully.
"He never would have apologized if you didn't tell him to," Elphaba said sadly.
"True, he wouldn't have because I get to make up what all of you say and do. That includes you, Elphaba," Nia said, glaring at her. Elphaba looked shocked, but said nothing. "Oh, and it's also Morrible's fault!" Nia added as an afterthought
"How is it my fault?" Morrible asked, shocked.
"Don't play innocent with me! You know what you did!"
"I'm confused!"
"Oh, so you don't remember causing a tornado to send Dorothy to Oz and crush Nessa?" Nia asked sarcastically.
"IT WAS YOU!?" Elphaba, Glinda, Boq, Dorothy and Nessa said together.
"Oh, I guess you didn't know about that," Nia said, shrinking under her desk. "My bad!"
"This is awkward!" the Wizard said.
"Why would you do that?" Elphaba said, hugging her sister close to her.
"Well….I…. ask the next question, Nia!"
Nia gave Morrible a look that meant Don't tell me what to do! but continued.
"Fiyero and Elphaba, one wish!" Nia repeated.
"One wish? I would wish that I could spend the rest of my life with Elphaba," Fiyero said, pulling Elphaba's chin so she would look at him. Elphaba smiled and kissed him. Dorothy started to gag. "Don't ruin this perfect moment!" Nia warned her as she pointed the lightning bolt at Dorothy's face.
"I would wish the same thing!" Elphaba whispered into Fiyero's ear.
"Okay, I know that this is a lovey-dovey moment, but we need to continue. Our next guest is EmeraldElphaba. Oh wow, she has a list of dares. This should be good! First, Turn Morrible into a fish."
"Too late!" Glinda laughed. Elphaba gave her a high five.
"Good one! But I think she meant an actual fish," Nia said, in between breaths.
A fish bowl filled with water appeared on the floor next to Morrible. "Elphaba, she's all yours," said Nia.
Elphaba stood up with the Grimmerie under her arm. She went over to Morrible and chanted the spell. A few seconds later, there was a poof of smoke and a little goldfish was swimming in the bowl. Its mouth was moving, but no words were coming out.
"Is there a way you can make her a talking fish? She needs to answer more questions," Nia said, starring at the fish. Elphaba nodded and waved her hand.
"This is ridiculous!" fish-Morrible said.
"Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming!" Nessa sang.
"Next, Tell Elphaba the Wizard is her father. Then, let her slap him, turn him to stone, or both for being such an jerk." Elphaba's mouth dropped open. The Wizard turned a bright shade of red.
"He's my what?" Elphaba spat.
"I'm her father?" The Wizard asked.
Two green bottles appeared on Nia's desk. "Do you both recognize these?" she asked, standing up and handed them to Elphaba and the Wizard.
"My mother's bottle," Elphaba whispered.
"Your mother?" the Wizard asked. Elphaba glared at him.
"So, it's your fault! This is your fault!" she shouted at him, shoving her hand in his face.
"Elphaba, please, I am a sentimental man, who always longed to be a…"
"Don't even start that!" Elphaba spat at him.
"I though that you figured out that he was your father with one of the earlier reviews?" Dorothy asked.
"Stay out of this, farm brat!" Elphaba shouted. Dorothy looked like she was about to cry. "You really are wicked!" Dorothy shouted at her. Everyone fell silent. Elphaba glared at her. Nia stepped in between them. "Okay, before you do something unforgivable to this poor, little, innocent girl, let me just say that…"
"Poor, yes. Little, yes. Innocent, heck no!" Elphaba shouted. Nia gave her a sympathetic look. "Right!"
"Hey!" Dorothy shouted, thinking that Nia just defended her.
"Sorry. This is a Wicked interview. And in Wicked, you are considered evil." Dorothy started to cry. Nia went over to her and gave her a hug. Elphaba looked like she was going to be sick.
"What?" Nia asked. "Well, I'm a nice person in general. A little sassy and demanding, yes, but I hate it when nice people cry. And in her defense, Elphaba, in the Wizard of Oz, you were a little scary."
"I'm sorry," Elphaba apologized to Dorothy. "I really didn't mean to scare you." Dorothy looked at Elphaba and stopped crying. She turned around and faced the audience with her arms crossed.
"Getting back to the dare, Elphaba, you can still slap with Wizard and turn him to stone."
"Don't you need me to answer questions?" the Wizard asked, shocked.
"Yes. That's why this is only temporary. Elphaba can turn you back when you get a question or dare," Nia said.
Elphaba got up and slapped the Wizard across the face with all of her strength. She snapped her fingers and the Wizard turned into stone.
"Can you un-stone his ears so he can at least hear what we're saying?" Nia asked with a hand on Elphaba's shoulder. Elphaba signed and the Wizard's ears returned to normal.
"Next, Make Nessa apologize to Boq in front of everyone."
"Why do I have to apologize?" Nessa asked.
"Well, it is your fault he's tin," Nia said gently.
"It's Elphaba's fault! She turned him tin!"
"Because you made his heart shrink!" Elphaba argued. "I did it to save his sorry Munchkin life!"
"I thought that he loved me!" Nessa shouted, pointing at Boq. The audience muttered in agreement.
"You did make it seem that you loved her, Boq," Nia said, glancing at Boq.
"Well…I…" Boq started.
"Both of you can apologize," Nia suggested.
"What?!" Nessa and Boq said together.
"Do it!" Nia commanded. She pulled out her lightning bolt. "And make it heartfelt!"
"I'm sorry for making your heart shrink," Nessa said.
"And I'm sorry that I led you on all of these years," Boq said. They hugged and the audience cheered. Nia whipped her eyes with a tissue.
"Let's get on with it before I start sobbing," she said, wiping her eyes. "Dump water on Dorothy, call her a wicked witch, and send her through a trapdoor in the floor," Nia said as she laughed.
"I just dried off!" Dorothy yelled.
"It's what the people want. And you've got to give the people what they want, right?" Nia asked, looking at the Wizard, then remembering that he was still stone. "Elphaba, would you like to do the honors, again?" Nia asked as the bucket appeared again.
"It would be my pleasure," Elphaba said, standing up. A trap door appeared on the floor.
"Come on, be a good sport," Nia said as she pulled Dorothy off of the floor and led her to the trap door. Elphaba was standing there, waiting.
"You wicked witch!" Elphaba yelled as she poured the water on Dorothy, again.
"This water's cooooooooooooold!" Dorothy screamed as she fell through the trap door and landed on the ground with a thud.
"I think that's enough melting for one episode," Nia said as Dorothy reappeared, soaking wet.
"Last dare from this reviewer, I kind of want to see a broomstick vs. bubble fight between Elphaba and Glinda."
"What?" Glinda asked.
Elphaba's broomstick appeared next to her. "How are we supposed to do this?" she asked, grabbing her broom.
"That's for you to figure out," Nia said, getting out her video camera to tape the fight.
"Catfight! Catfight! Catfight!" the audience chanted. Glinda and Elphaba stood up and the crowd went crazy. Glinda started to twirl her bubble wand like she was a ninja and a big, pink bubble shot forward towards Elphaba. She popped it with the handle of her broom. This went on for about half an hour.
"Okay, I think that's enough," Nia said, putting her camera down. She looked at Glinda and Elphaba, who were out of breath, panting on the floor. Fiyero helped Elphaba up and Nessa went to Glinda. Once they were seated, Nia continued.
"Next, we have MyVisionIsDying, who says, *stands up in the front row of the audience* Elphaba, why don't you use a spell to make Nessa and Boq hold hands and make it look like they're super glued together, of course it'll make your sister happy but I just want to se Boq embarrassed. Morrible, Dorothy and the Wizard. Meh I don't want to waste any of my time insulting you three cause you're just a waste of space... Actually how would you three react if you were locked in a room with each other? Oh and Morrible, what was it like falling out of the ugly tree and hitting all the branches on the way down? Now give me my virtual iPhone... please *folds arms and taps foot impatiently*
"I don't think that there is a spell for that," Elphaba said, scanning the Grimmerie.
"There's not?" Nia asked, panicking.
"No, wait, found one!" Elphaba said, standing up. Nessa went over and knelt down next to Boq. Elphaba chanted the spell and Nessa and Boq's hands joined together. Boq groaned and Nessa slapped him with her free hand.
"Can he please get a change back? His tin hand is cold," Nessa complained.
"Well, we will see what the reviewers say. And I'm thinking about giving Boq a chair, because I don't want Nessa to sit on the floor. I like her," Nia said, wondering if she should be nice to Boq.
"What did I do that was so wrong?" Boq asked, not understanding why everyone hated him.
"Well, to tell you the truth, like Nessa, I actually believed that you loved her when you danced with her at the Ozdust," Nia said.
"Good point!" Glinda said.
"You were the one who set me up with Nessa!" Boq said, turning around.
"Yes, I did. Because I though that you would be perfect together," Glinda said.
"No, you just wanted me to stop stalking you!" Boq argued.
"So, you admit to stalking Glinda?" Nia said, leaning forward in her chair. This was going somewhere.
"Well…I…um… you see… don't you have another question?"
"Not until you answer that one," Nia retorted.
"Okay, maybe I was over the top a little."
"A little? You were passing me notes in every class!" Glinda shouted at him.
Boq turned around to face the audience. "You liked them, didn't you?"
Glinda blushed. "I thought that they were sweet and that you were a nice boy. I just wasn't in love with you."
"Good job, Glinda. Honestly is the best policy, sometimes," Nia said shook out her hand from writing so much. "Oh my Oz, a seven page Word document. This was a good question and answer portion.
"I didn't fall from an ugly tree!" Morrible shouted.
"Right, you were born that way," Nia said dryly.
"Isn't there one more question for me?" Dorothy asked.
"Oh, right, about you, Morrible, and the Wizard in the same room together," Nia said, rereading her paper.
"Personally, I wouldn't mind. Hated people have got to stick together, right?" Morrible said.
"Yes!" Nia agreed.
"I barley know her!" Dorothy argued.
"Than you would get to know her!" Nia said calmly.
The Wizard didn't answer. "Right, stone!" Nia said, looking down.
"Shouldn't we change Morrible and the Wizard back now?" Fiyero asked.
"I think that we should wait until the next episode," Nia said, looking from the stone statue and the fish."
"Change me back, NOW!" fish-Morrible shouted from her bowl.
"But, I've always wanted a pet goldfish!" Nia said, picking up the bowl and placing it on her desk. The audience roared with laughter. "Fine! You can return to normal if the reviewers say so. We're going to have to free the Wizard from his stone outline because we need him for questions. But you, Miss Talking Fish, one the other hand, can stay the same." The Wizard was freed from the stone.
"Finally!" he exclaimed, stretching. "I thought I would never get out!"
"Don't hold your breath," Nia warned.
"If he get's a change, why don't I?" Morrible asked.
"Because you can still talk!" Elphaba said.
"I won't answer any questions unless I can be human again!" Morrible argued.
"You were never a human!" Glinda and Elphaba said at the same time.
"True!" Nia corrected herself. "Fine!" Nia said as she gave in. She placed the bowl back on the floor and snapped her fingers. Morrible was turned back into a human.
"Thank you!" she hissed through her teeth.
"I'm starting to regret this already," Nia muttered. "Okay, that's it for this episode! Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I still have more virtual IPhones to give away!"
"What's an IPhone?" Elphaba asked. Nia gave her one. "How do you work this thing?"
"While I teach Elphaba about the world of technology, send in your questions and dares for the next episode. The more, the better! Stay tuned for the next installment of Nia's Q & A with Wicked characters!"
"I'm still confused," Elphaba said, holding the IPhone far away from her face. Nia went over to her and tried her best to explain it as the lights dimmed.
Special thank you to LifeinWatercolor, Eriphabottackson, Moreanswers24, Elphaba'sGirl, Mad-Idina-Fan98, EmeraldElphaba, and MyVisionIsDying. You all received your virtual IPhones.
