"Hello, peoples, and welcome back to Nia Q & A with the Wicked characters!" Nia smiled, bouncing up and down in her chair.
"Hey, you changed your pen name!" Fiyero noticed. "And your avatar."
"That's right, Fifi!" Nia smiled. "Do you like it?"
"I like it. Fae'sFlower, huh?" the prince smirked.
"NiatheWickedLover was kinda a legendary name," Elphaba said, smiling softly at the host.
"Legendary? How was it legendary?" Nia asked.
"Everyone knew who you were," Glinda said.
"It's still me. Now, we need to get going on these reviews. Our first review comes from MyVisionIsDying, who says, This isn't much of a question but there's a little craze going around where I live at the moment where people are obsessed with loom band bracelets. I think Glinda would have a fun time making them! *Tosses Glinda a loom band bracelet kit* Enjoy!"
Glinda immediately went to work on the bracelets. "Yay! Thank you!"
"Have fun with that, Glin," Nia smiled, taking out the next review. "Next, we have ExoticPeachBlossom, who says, Great chapter, Nia! Excellent work. Ah *poke* when are you updating 'Child's Play' *Taps foot... waits patiently*
Question for Elphaba, how would you react if you fell in love with another character from a musical? *Evil smirk*"
"I'm working on it," Nia pouted. "Though…" The host jumped up and ran backstage, returning after two minutes with a large pink lollipop in her mouth and a bow and arrow under her arm.
"What's with the bow and arrow?" Boq asked, eyeing the weapon.
"They're hints," Nia smirked.
"Hints for what?" Nessa asked.
"Nothing. It's an inside thing… that's not really inside. Anyway, Elphaba, you're answer please."
"If I fell in love with another character from another musical?" Elphaba asked, wrinkling her nose in confusion.
Nia nodded.
"Um… who is it?"
"Someone you can relate to."
"Who?"
Nia gulped and shifted uncomfortably in her seat. "Um… I'll let you read it." The host pulled out her laptop and brought up 'What Dreams May Come' by ExoticPeachBlossom.
30 minutes later…
"Elphie?" Nia asked, looking at the green witch. "Are you okay?"
"I… who is Erik?" Elphaba asked.
"The Phantom of the Opera!" Nia sang, standing on top of her desk, her arms in the air. "Ahem… sorry."
"I'm… in love with him?"
"Yup!"
"How do we relate?"
"Well… that is a long story, but I'm going to give you the condensed version. You were born with a… verdigris. Erik was born with a… deformity. You were both shunned by society. The only difference is that you get a happy ending. Erik… not so much," Nia said, still eating the lollipop.
"What…?"
"Nothing, Elphie," Nia said, needing to move on. "Next we welcome Doglover645, whom I would like to say a special thank you for reviewing every chapter of 'Seeing the Light'. So… thank you! Now, Doglover645 says, Lol yes! Okay. These are questions for everyone.
The book or musical?
Favorite kind of AU? (Nia explain.)
How do y'all feel about the following ships: Gelphie, Fiyero/Nessa, and Morrible/Wizard?
If you could be any Disney character in any Disney Universe, who would you be and why? Until next time!"
"Musical," Elphaba immediately said.
"Musical," Galinda agreed.
"I die in both," Melena frowned.
"Musical. At least I have arms," Nessa said.
"Book," Frex said.
"Why?" Elphaba asked.
"People don't hate bookverse Frex," Nia said. "Because he's decent to Elphaba."
"Decent?" Fiyero questioned.
"Decent," Nia confirmed.
"Oh. And musical," Fiyero smiled.
"Book," Boq said.
"Musical," Dr. Dillamond answered.
"Book," Chistery smiled.
"What's an AU?" Elphaba questioned.
"It means Alternate Universe. If it doesn't happen or take place in the book or movie or if a character is different in some way, shape or form. It doesn't follow the general gist of the story line. For example, an AU would be like… Elphaba being a mermaid. Like in 'Ocean's Daughter' by Ultimate Queen of Cliffies."
"Or like 'What Dreams May Come'!" Fiyero quipped, earning him an unidentifiable look from his wife.
"Exactly!" Nia smiled.
"Or like pretty much all of Nia's stories," Boq shrugged.
"Yeah, pretty much," Nia agreed.
"And… Gelphie?" Glinda asked, wrinkling her nose.
"Yes. As in… you and Elphaba… in love," Nia said, still eating the lollipop.
"Did we already answer that in a previous episode?" Elphaba asked.
"Yes, you did. But answer it again."
"I love Galinda… but not like Fiyero," Elphaba answered.
Galinda nodded.
"Me and Nessa?" Fiyero asked, looking at his wife's younger sister.
"Also known as Fressa," Nia said.
"To who?" Nessa asked, looking Nia dead in the eyes.
"To the people who thought, 'Hey, why don't we just mess with the ships just to kill people's feels because why the heck not?!'," Nia quipped.
"Oh," was all the younger Thropp managed to say.
"No comment," Fiyero said.
"I don't even want to think of a ship name for you two," Nia said, pointing to Morrible and Oscar.
"Good," Morrible and Oscar shrugged, looking at each other before quickly turning away.
"And any of the Disney princesses, heroes, and heroines would be nice. They're all really awesome," Glinda smiled, getting everyone to nod, not being able to come up with anything else themselves.
"Elsa!" Rainy giggled.
Nia smiled as she took out the next review. "Next we have Chanty420, who says, Really?! That's cool. Well, I'll be missing your old pen name. NiatheWickedLover is like your legacy or something:) Anyways,
Fiyero: if you were forced to either eat broccoli or study math for the rest of your life, what would you pick?
Elphaba: What spell have you always wanted to learn and have learned already? Care to demonstrate said spell?
Glinda: Go with me to the mall near our house? There are LOTS of shoe stores with gorgeous pink heels!
Boq: Favorite book turned into a movie or musical.
Wizard: I only hate you for 35 percent, so be happy:) here' some more juice and a very new hat for ya:) Okay, byeeeee!"
"A legacy? Really? Wow," Nia smiled. "Thanks."
"Eat broccoli for the rest of my life?" Fiyero frowned. "Well… it's better than studying math. So, broccoli."
"Well… I've memorized every spell in the Grimmerie," Elphaba smiled, erupting a cheer for the audience.
"Care to demonstrate one?" Nia asked.
"Sure," Elphaba smiled, standing up and beginning to chant in the lost language of spells.
"Wait… I know this spell," Nia said as she began to rise out of her seat. "Sweet, I'm flying! Just like Peter Pan! And, of course, you too, Elphie."
Elphaba chuckled as she brought the girl back down.
"Sure! I would love to go to the mall with you!" Glinda smiled, finishing a pink and green bracelet and giving it to Elphaba.
"Aww. Thank you, Glin," Elphaba smiled, giving her best friend a hug.
"I've heard The Fault in Our Stars is really good," Boq smiled.
Nia suddenly burst into tears. "Stop! My emotions can't handle that! It's so sad!"
Nessa went up to the crying host and gently patted her back as she handed her a tissue box.
"I'm okay," Nia said, wiping her eyes and grabbing seven tissues. "Thanks Nessa."
"Um… thanks," Oscar said, taking the juice and the hat.
"Our next review comes from WickedBrony, who says, I am in a secure location no one can get into!
On that note, DD, how was being a human? And anyway, be glad I gave the potion you, because in my fanfic, Oscar over there TOTALLY uses you as a guinea pig.
Oh, and by the way . . . This is not a shameless plug-in. I'm full of shame doing this. But Nia, you should have Elphie and Dillamond read my fanfic. I think you know which one I mean. ;) Thoughts?
Glinda, what have you done since you started ruling Oz?
Chistery, exactly how did you get to Ozzy over there?
And Oscar? I love Elphaba and all, but WHAT WERE YOU THINKING WHEN YOU HAD AN AFFAIR WITH A POLITICIAN'S WIFE?"
"It was… interesting," Dr. Dillamond answered.
Nia chuckled as she pulled up the story WickedBrony was talking about. "Here you go!"
"What is this? Elphaba Dillamond?" Elphaba asked, looking up at Nia.
"No questions. Just read it," Nia ordered.
20 minutes later…
"So, let me get this straight," Elphaba said. "I'm adopted… by my history teacher."
"Yup. Pretty much. In this story, at least," Nia shrugged.
"And Frex is out to kill me?"
"Again, yup. Pretty much."
"Okay. Just checking," Elphaba said, leaning back in her seat.
"Enjoyable," Dr. Dillamond commented. "I'm all for a good story."
"Good answer," Nia smiled.
"Well… I restored Animal rights," Glinda smiled. "It wasn't easy, but I knew it was Elphie would have wanted."
Elphaba blushed and smiled at her friend.
"I was actually offered a job by His Ozness," Chistery said.
"You mean he didn't kidnap you?" Nia asked, looking at Oscar.
"NO! Of course not! I'm not that mean!" Oscar defended himself.
"You're right. I mean, it was Morrible the entire time," Nia shrugged.
The old woman looked at Nia, but remained silent.
"And Melena never loved Frex. We were together way before they got married," Oscar said.
"He's right," Melena defended him.
"Can we please change the subject?" Frex asked.
"Sure. Our next review comes from woodland59. HEY! She says, Yayz! That was hilarious as always! Okay, PLEASE bring Zelena and Theodora here so Elphaba can see them! Witches fight, witches fight!
Okay, now, Elphaba, I'm going to give you a present...The Dark One's dagger! Now you can summon him to torture Morrible whenever you want!
*Runs on stage and transforms into a lab coat* Let's have a therapy session, shall we, Nia?"
Nia snapped her fingers and was wearing a pink lab coat. "Yes, we shall."
"Who?" Elphaba asked.
"They're basically you in a different universe," Nia answered.
"Like AUs!" Fiyero smiled.
"You're really into AUs, aren't you, Fiyero? Well… yes. Sorta like AUs. And we're running out of time, and I'm running out of air, so no guests. Sorry!"
A dagger appeared in Elphaba's lap.
"Why?" Nia sighed. "So, I never got those liability papers, so these forms of torture are out. And I think we've tortured Morrible enough, don't you?"
"Yes," Morrible said, not missing a beat.
"A therapy session?" Melena asked.
Nia nodded. "Read 'Wicked Therapy' by woodland59 for more information. Next, we welcome Elphaba'sGirl. Welcome back! Elphaba'sGirl says, Well, that was the highlight of my day, though, it's a little scary that you've kept the wicked characters captive for more than 3 and a half years... YES I GOT TO CO HOST YES YES YES. *Dances around singing a song about co hosting and the absolute perfection that is Fiyeraba to the tune of 'Dancing Through Life'*
Ahem. Sorry. I am calm. What? Yes, I'm calm. Serene. Zen. I'M CALM, I TELL YOU! CALM. Kay. Questions.
Nia: can Avaric come for an episode, so I can hit him over the head with a llama cart? Thanks.
Fiyero: remember how I convinced you to give me a piece of your hair? Well, I thought you'd like to know that I've framed it.
All: if you were on an island and could only bring three things with you (one of these May be a person if you so choose) what would you bring?
Glinda: who was the first boy you ever went out with?
Elphaba: if you could live anywhere in Oz where would it be? Alright, that's all I've got today! Thanks for letting me co-host! Cheers!"
"Funny you should mention that," Nia said, a sad smile on her face.
"What's wrong, Nia?" Elphaba asked, growing concerned.
"We're coming to the close of the interview," Nia said.
"WHAT?!" all the characters screamed at once.
Nia nodded. "All good things must come to a close some time. We only have two more episodes left after this."
"Then what happens?" Glinda asked, tears slowly filling her eyes.
"You guys get to go back to Oz," Nia said.
"But… but we'll miss you," the blonde pouted, running up to the host and giving her a hug.
"I'll miss you guys, too. But we still have two more episodes," Nia said, trying to cheer the crying blonde up.
Glinda sniffed and went back to her seat. "O-Okay."
"Okay, back to the questions. And Elphaba'sGirl, what is it with you and llamas? I mean… First, you call Frex a llama, and now you want to ruin a perfectly good llama cart to throw it over Avaric's head. And I like llamas. And think of that poor llama cart. But… oh fine!" Nia snapped her fingers and Avaric appeared with a llama cart.
"Avaric!" Fiyero said, jumping up and doing his special handshake with his driver.
"Stand aside, princey!" Elphaba'sGirl said, walking up onto the stage. She lifted up the llama cart and chucked it at Avaric, knocking the poor man out.
"No Avarics were harmed in the making of this episode," Nia smiled, giving the audience a thumbs up. She snapped her fingers and Avaric and the llama cart disappeared.
"Thanks, Nia!" Elphaba'sGirl said, giving the host a hug before returning to her seat.
"And it's not creepy at all that you framed my hair!" Fiyero called after her.
"My mirror, my pink makeup supplies, and my curling iron," Glinda said.
"Fiyero, Rainy and the Grimmerie," Elphaba smiled.
"Fae, Rainy, and my tight, tan pants," Fiyero smiled.
"Of course you would bring the tight pants," Elphaba muttered, playfully shaking her head.
"Never go anywhere without the pants," Fiyero smirked.
Everyone else gave their answers and Nia moved on to the next question.
"I remember! His name was Mylis. He was tall, had brown hair, brown eyes, and freckles. We were in the sixth grade. We were perfect together. He was charming, sweet, funny, just… perfect!" Galinda smiled, remembering the boy
"Why did you break up?" Nia asked.
"He moved to the Vinkus," Galinda frowned.
"Oh. I'm sorry."
"It's okay. It was a long time ago."
"I would love to live in the Emerald City," Elphaba said. "The only place where I seemed to fit in."
Nia nodded. "Our next review comes from NellytheActress. Oh, sweet Oz," Nia mumbled under her breath. "Anyway, Nelly says, Ello again! Mez is back with more questions and dares. Hehe!
Nia... turn Elphaba's skin a normal color.
Elphaba... What do you think of having a normal skin tone?
Rainy... I got you twin sister from the cloning shop across the street. Have fun! Oh and her names Emmy because the people at the cloning shop had something against naming her Nelly. And Nia would disapprove.
Elphaba (again)... Live in the now! Bacaw!
Nia (again)... Make them all watch the live in the now video I told you about.
Fiyero... What do you think of the live in the now video?
Nessa... I got you a one hit recording contract. Make that one hit a wonder!
Nia (again again)... I wanna co-host :(
Boq... I dare you to paint Fiyero all silver... (Nia, have your garden hoes ready, otherwise Fiyero might have that thing when your pores can't breath.)
Nia (again again again)... No backing out of any of this! That's all!"
Nia clapped her hands and Elphaba was engulfed in a bright light. Everyone shielded their eyes. When they light died down, they all gasped.
Elphaba's skin was no longer green. It was now a pale tone with a slight tan.
"Fae…" Fiyero whispered, looking at his wife.
"What?" Elphaba asked. She looked down at her hands and gasped. They were no longer green.
"How do you feel, Elphie?" Nia asked.
"It's… different. I've been so used to the green all my life. To have normal skin feels… weird."
"You've never cared if I disapproved of anything before. Why now?" Nia asked as Emmy ran onstage. Rainy squealed, jumped up and ran to hug her new twin sister. "Just for the episode," Nia said, looking at Emmy. "Though… she is really cute."
"She looks just like Rainy," Glinda smiled.
"That's the thing about twins," Fiyero said.
"Not all. Some twins are fraternal, meaning they don't look alive," Nia quipped.
"Who's Bacaw?" Elphaba asked.
Nia face palmed. "Ozdangit, Nelly!"
"We have to watch a video?" Fiyero asked.
Nia grumbled something under her breath as she took out her computer and showed everyone the video.
"Um… that was… interesting," Fiyero said unsurely.
"Wow! Thanks," Nessa said. "I wonder what song I should sing."
"You have to write a song," Nia said.
"Can't I just sing 'Wicked Witch of the East'?"
"Sure!"
"YAY!" the younger Thropp smiled.
"And if you want to co-host, you have to guess a reference. Plus, we only have two episodes left," Nia said.
"Do you have to keep reminding us?" Glinda pouted.
"It's true. And Nelly… if your skin can't breathe, you could die. I learned that in 7th grade in history class when we learned about tar and feathering," Nia said.
"So, no silver paint?" Fiyero asked hopefully.
"No, we're doing silver paint. But this is skin friendly," Nia said, handing Boq the paint and grabbing her garden hose.
After Fiyero was painted and hosed down, Nia continued.
"Next, we have TheWickedrae, who says, OOOOOOOOOOooooo Fae's Flower? That's so pretty! Soooooo... Nia's name will be available? XD *gives Nia yellow box with red ribbons* Open it common, open it :P *Nia opens it and it explodes in her face* SMURF REFERENCE! I was a bit too serious last episode for my liking. SO EXPECT SOME CHOAS! *Shows the beach video* Hum... that was... decent. Okay, one thing has been bugging me all this time Elphie. Where the heck is Malky?! *Is stroking my cat* Rainy, has your mother got you a pet yet? She should've at least gotten you a dog... or a cat... *sees black Lab puppy waddle in behind me* Oh look at this random totally unsuspicious puppy that has wandered in! I have no idea how that got here... :D Doctor Who marathon anyone? (Leave it to me to make a very suspicious entry even more suspicious lol) *Hands Rainy the puppy* She's just adorbs! When are you gonna have one Glin? Rain what are you gonna name the puppy? Nia, Elphie, you can't take the puppy away from her. Ever. Cause it's the exact same thing Glinda would've done eventually. Dorothy, can Toto have a play date with my dogs? Security wouldn't let them in because they were too big... Morri, I can call you whatever I want because I'm a fangirl/author/magical person/Nia's friend and you cannot tick anyone of us off without being severely hurt by every single fangirl/boy in here and Shiz. But you're lucky today I'm actually kind of tired because I slept in till 10 this morning (I stayed up till 3 last night) and kind of unlucky because tired people have no boundaries. Seriously, my friend barely got 15 minutes sleep once and she was talking a whole bunch of scary stuff...*Glances at Rainy and smiles* That I'm not going to mention for the sake of Rainy. Yay! Imma just sit here for the rest of the episode and give my input in some stuff (and try to get some sleep because the audience seats are pretty uncomfortable) PEACE OUT XOXO!"
"Thanks!" Nia said, covered in red ribbons. "And my old pen name is… how you put it… available. Though, I don't think anyone will take it."
"Who's Malky?" Elphaba asked.
"Your cat from the book," Nia said. "Or is it?"
"What do you mean?" Nessa asked.
"You'll have to read the later book in the 'Wicked' series to find out. No spoilers!" Nia said, shaking her head.
"I wanna pet!" Rainy cried, tugging on her mother's dress.
"A pet is a lot of responsibility," Elphaba said.
"Pwease?" Rainy pouted.
"I'll… think about it."
"Puppy!" Rainy giggled as a black lab puppy ran up to her.
"Nia…" Elphaba said, looking at the host.
"Don't have a clue," Nia said, shaking her head.
"What are you going to name the puppy, Rainy?" Glinda giggled.
"Elsa!" Rainy laughed as the puppy licked her face.
"Elsa it is," Nia smiled.
Galinda sighed. ''I'm not married, and Nia won't let me have a boyfriend –"
"I never said that!" Nia defended herself. "When we're done here, you can go back to Oz, find yourself a nice man, get married and have kids and write to me all about it."
"Sure. Toto loves play dates," Dorothy smiled.
"Woof!" Toto barked.
"Oh, hi Dorothy!" Nia smiled. "You've been awfully quiet."
"Well, no one's asked me any questions or given me anything," Dorothy shrugged.
"Fine," Morrible huffed.
"I'll fix that," Nia smiled, snapping her fingers. The audience seats became fluffy pink and green chairs with extra fluffy pillows. "Better?"
The audience cheered. "You're welcome!" the host smiled. "Next we have Elphieispopular (Guest), which is so true, by the way. Welcome to the show! Elphieispopular says, Helloooooo everyone and fish. *Runs onstage and hugs everybody exclude Horrible Morrible * Okay I'm a little bit out of ideas, but I'll try my best!
Question time! Horrible, can you communicate with fish? Elphaba, did you make your act II dress on your own, or did you buy it? Glinda, can you teach my how to toss my hair? *Does toss, toss but fails* Pretty please with a cherry on top? Nessa, can I get your autograph please?
Dares! I dare Elphaba to kiss someone ten seconds on the lips. Everyone except Fiyero. Yes, I know that I'm mean. *Does Witch cackle* Anyway, Glinda, I dare you to squeal as loud as possible! Fiyero I dare you to do gangnam style in your tight white paints. Wizard I dare you and Morrible to hug a whole minute! That's it for now, bye! *Gives everybody except Morrible a hug and flies off stage while singing defying gravity*"
"I can't! I'm not a fish!" Morrible argued.
"Sure," Glinda muttered under her breath.
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
"Actually, I made it with a little bit of magic," Elphaba answered. "I couldn't exactly go shopping as the Wicked Witch of the West. While I was in hiding, some of the Animals I was helping were nice enough to donate some of their old fabrics and I made this dress."
"You just toss, toss!" Galinda said, demonstrating it a few times. "Well… you'll practice."
"Um… sure," Nessa said. "What should I sign?"
"This," Nia said, handing Nessa a picture of herself and a silver sharpie.
Nessa gladly signed it and gave it back to Nia. "Elphieispopular, you can pick up your Nessa autograph after the episode."
Elphaba made a face, but kissed everyone for ten seconds. "Thanks," she whispered as Nia handed her a glass of ginger ale after she kissed Morrible.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Glinda squealed, causing the entire studio to cover their ears. "And that's how its done," Glinda smiled.
Nia showed Fiyero the dance. She snapped her fingers and Fiyero was wearing his tight pants again. Frowning, the price stood up and danced like he saw in the video.
"Beautiful job, Fiyero," Nia smirked at the prince.
"We're hugging?" Oscar asked, gesturing to himself and Morrible.
"Yup! For a whole sixty seconds. Starting… Now! HUG!"
The two hugged until Nia told them to stop. "That was more than sixty seconds. That was two and a half minutes," Oscar frowned.
"I know. I just wanted to see how long you two could last. Then I got bored and decided to end it sooner," Nia shrugged.
"Gee, thanks," Morrible muttered.
"Anytime. Next we have Axel Treehorn (Guest). Welcome back! Axel says, Okay, Dorothy, I dare you watch If the Wizard of Oz was Way Worse at Foreshadowing, Everything Wrong With the Wizard of Oz, How the Wizard of Oz should have Ended and Why the Wizard of Oz is Headcore than the Wire. And tells us her thoughts on them..."
Dorothy watched all the videos on Nia's laptop. "I… um… I… well…"
"Speechless?" Oscar quipped.
"Yeah," Dorothy said slowly.
"Awesome socks! Last, but not least, we have Fandomsforinfinity, who says, Hey look it's me! *Pokes my old reviews* SuperWhoLock as a shampoo? Hahaha! What would that be like...? Hmmm... SuperWhoLock shampoo! Also good for: fighting aliens, fighting demons, and fighting Anderson's low IQ! I don't even know anymore. And some of your answers were... interesting... and you guys should watch SuperWhoLock! Or at least Doctor Who ...okay bye!"
"It does sound like a type of shampoo!" Fiyero said. "Doesn't it?"
"It sorta does," Nia nodded.
"I'm telling you, it should be a shampoo!" Fiyero exclaimed.
"And you'll be the one to invent it," Elphaba smirked.
"Yes. I. Will."
"That sounds like a challenge," Boq smiled.
"I accept."
"Oz, I'm not using that shampoo," Glinda said, wrinkling up her nose.
"And that's all the time we have, folks. Remember to send in your questions, dares and gifts. We only have two episodes left," Nia announced.
Glinda jumped up and snatched Nia's tissue box from her desk and grabbed six tissues.
"See y'all at the next one!" Nia said, waving to the audience as the lights dimmed.
