Hello everybody! Welcome back, I was really busy today, so the update is a bit late, but it's here now, so enjoy!
After last night's close encounter with Madame Morrible, Elphaba decided that she really needed to be more careful, and she wasn't going to search the library in the Emerald city again. Maybe Nessa has a spell book that I can use… Elphaba thought as she went out on the balcony where she gave speeches to the people of Oz.
The speeches were always the hardest part of Elphaba's day because she had to fool not only the people in the palace, but all of Oz into thinking that she was Glinda. "Fellow Ozians, I am happy to report that no one has encountered the wicked witch of the west since last time I had an update…" Elphaba said her speech as happy and bubbly as she could, and then went back inside the palace to tell the guards that she was going on 'a little outing.' Of course, by 'a little outing' Elphaba meant that she was going to Munchkinland to look for a spell to change her and Glinda back, and then if possible to Kiamo Ko castle to talk to the real Glinda, but she would never tell anyone those things.
Elphaba decided that because bubble travel was a little too slow, she was going to enchant another broom to fly, and to make her invisible when she touched it because, people definitely did not expect Glinda the good to fly around on a broomstick.
Elphie took off to Munchkinland. How am I going to convince her that it's me? Elphaba wondered as she flew. It was good to be on a broom again. In the bubble, Elphaba missed the feeling of freedom that the broom had to offer.
When Elphaba arrived in Munchkinland, she opened the window to Nessa's room and flew in. Nessa who was sitting at her desk, turned around and saw who she thought was Glinda. "Glinda, what are you doing here, and why didn't you just come in through the door?"
"Well, I am actually not Glinda, I am Elphaba." Elphaba answered.
"Nice try Glinda, but I know it's you!" Nessa actually laughed a little bit.
"Nessa, I'm not kidding, I need your help, Morrible switched us and-…"
Nessa cut her off "Alright Glinda, you've made your joke, now what are you here for?"
"Wait, I can prove it's me!" Elphaba held up the broom.
"Sorry Glinda, but you aren't fooling me." Nessa said.
Maybe I can change back just for a few seconds… Elphaba focused n her magic and tried to change back into herself. There was a flash of green, and Elphaba was back to herself. Elphaba, who actually looked like herself raised an eyebrow at Nessa, the way she did many times when Nessa was demanding something as a child.
"Wow, it really is you!" Nessa said shocked. "But how… I mean why were you…."
Elphaba suddenly changed back into Glinda, because she couldn't fight Morrible's spell any longer. "Well, Morrible cast a spell to switch Glinda and I and now we have to get back to normal before Morrible realizes that it's me. I need to hurry here, anyone could walk in at any second!" Elphaba explained.
"Why should I help YOU after what you did to Boq!?" Nessa asked angrily.
"Nessa, Glinda and I are in serious trouble here, if you don't help, we could both be in great danger!" Elphaba said a little too loudly.
"Governess Nessa?" someone was knocking at the door. Elphaba picked up the broom to become invisible, the way she had enchanted it to.
"Yes?"
The servant walked in, "I hear voices, is there a visitor?"
"Oh, uh, no, where is that old sorcery book I had?" Nessa asked.
"It is in the library, why do you ask?" the servant answered.
"Um… I want to try to find a spell to change Boq back." Nessa answered.
"Alright, I'll bring it here." Elphaba stayed invisible and silent until the servant came back with the book, and left."
"Here, you can use this, if you want." Nessa told Elphaba. "I think I have seen a reversal spell in here somewhere."
"Thank you Nessa." And with that, Elphaba took her broom and flew away to Kiamo Ko to find real Glinda.
She arrived at her old 'home' unnoticed and safe with the spell book. She walked into the castle. "Hello?"
"Go away… um, there's no one here!" Glinda said sounding very afraid.
"Glinda' it's just me!" Elphaba said.
"Oh! Elphie! Good, I found a spell that we can try."
"I found one too, and also, if the witch hunters really did show up here, you really wouldn't want to say 'there's nobody here."
Glinda giggled, and they opened Elphaba's spell book to look for the spell.
There will be another short update every day, but sometimes it will be a little bit late because I have play rehearsal until 4:30 every day (I am the lead in 'The Sound of Music') and homework. Also, please review! I know there are plenty of you reading this, loving it and not reviewing. Even if you say 'boo' at least I'll know you're reading it! :)
