Though all this happiness at Shiz was occuring, there was turmoil on the outskirts of Oz. Silently, a force was taking over, more powerful than anything seen in the country. It was slowly moving, devouring the cities whole. Yet no one knew about it yet.

It started out innocently enough. A few scuffles from the townspeople, a few bad crops. But now it was begining to become more dangerous to all. And it seemed to be headed straight for the core of Oz: The Emerald City. . . . .

Guess what?!!? NEW CHAPTER TONIGHT! Thank Oz! We finally got it going, and the next chapter is in the editing stages! Aren't yall so happy? lol

[galindafiedgirl215]

"Well, maybe you aren't as socially inept as I thought. You just might have a chance to be. . . dare I say it. . . POPULAR!" Fae said with a squeal, rolling onto her bed.

"Popular? Please. I'll never be popular," declared Ali. "Popularity is not in my genes. And besides, why would you want to be popular? You have to be friends with all these... happy people!"

"You know, being depressed all the time isn't such a wonderful thing either. I mean, what fun is it to go around always thing despondent thoughts! I mean people aren't as bad or as dull as you think. Just look at Amirio."

"Amirio is an exception to the rule. And he's the first person I've met in a long time who wasn't slightly dull or boring or a person who wanted to use me to get something. No, people are like that, not like Amirio. And besides, we talked to him for five minutes. We hardly know him!"

"I saw the way you looked at him. Don't try to trick me with that little line. You just wait! My bet is my the end of tonight you will start to like him, and I mean LIKE LIKE."

"No. Never. I will never, ever like Amirio," Ali stated decidedly.

"Those emerald green eyes don't hide your thought. I may be blond, but when it comes to love I am not ignorant. But you think what you will," She said rolling her eyes.

"Please, let's choose a new subject," asked Ali, obviously uncomfortable.

"Fine. You aren't wearing that dress whn my friends comeover at seven are you?"
"Friends? That is when the class meeting is? And you didn't meet anyone else but Amirio, remember?

"Unlike you, I didn't live cooped up in a castle my whole life. I do have friends besides you," Fae said with a laugh. "and no one attends the class meeting. Its just, well. . . ."

"Mandatory? It's essential to knowing how things work here at Shiz! I am going," said Ali pointedly.

"Good for you. It is so. . . admirable. But I'm not."

"Fine then! I'll go with Amirio," stated Ali, visibly annoyed.

"Fine! Now if you will excuse me, I have more important things to do than sit here and debate with you about the Ozian Nerd Fest!" and with that she picked up her make up bag and waltzed into the bathroom.

"Fine!" shouted Ali. With that, she opened the door, and slammed it behind her. She headed off to the boy's dormatoires, determined to find Amirio.
Fae looked in the mirror for the fifth time. 7:01. Good, the girls were arriving fashionably late. That was always a must. There was a knock at the door. She gave a glance around the room to make sure that all of the books of Ali’s were hidden from view, then opened the door. “Yepa, Zariel!” she said with a ear deafing squeal.

“Fae!” They said with the customary hair flip. Fae returned the friends common greeting. She motioned for them to come in and showed them to the sitting area.

“So, how was your ride up?”

“It was decent. Unfortunately though, not all of us can come and go by bubble like you. You are really the luckiest girl in all of Oz!” said Yepa, twirling her brown hair around her finger.

“Well, now I think we are all lucky. Just look at how popular all three of us are. There are people who would envy to have our status!” replied Zarie. “Speaking of, have you seen that new girl Ali?”

Fae swallowed hard. She couldn’t lie and say she didn’t know her. What was she going to do

“Is she not the most hideous thing that you have ever seen? I saw her in the hall on the way up. She was on the way to the meeting, so that definatly means she’s a nerd!” said Yepa, obviously enjoying slaughtering the unpresent girl.

“I know,” continued Zarie. “she is going to be fun to tease this year. I don’t know her yet, and I already can sense that she is going to be an outcast and a book worm!”

This was all Fae could stand. Definatly she stood up. “That girl that you are discussing as if she was less than human is my cousin and best friend! I would greatly appreciate it if you would stop discussing her as if she was less than human! And if that’s they way you feel about her than I recommend that you take your things and leave,” and with that violent speech she made for her bedroom door, locking it behind her.

She heard Yepa telling Zariel, ‘I always knew that she would be an odd one. The only reason I was her friend is because she is Glinda the Good’s daughter,’ then the sound of the door closing. Curse you Ali, she muttered under her breath.




As Ali ran to the boy’s dormitories, she was saddened by Fae’s comments about her. She wasn’t a nerd, was she? She cleared her thoughts of that as she searched for Amirio’s room.
“Aran… Nissa… Kiamo… Winkie… Tiggular… Shell…. Terubetha!”

She started to knock, but just before her hand reached the door, she stopped. She barely knew him! Yet, how did she feel so close to him, not knowing much about him? Is this really what Fae meant? Did she know that she liked this boy before she even realized it? “You can’t think about such things, Ali!” she silently scolded herself. She then moved her hand, and rapped on the door.

She heard movement inside the room, and suddenly the door opened a crack. She saw the fair-skinned boy at the door, with a shock of dark, chesnut-colored hair. His blue-gray eyes pierced through her as he stared out of the small space in between the wall and the door. He was of an average height, just a bit shorter than Ali, but not by much.

“Who are you?” he asked tentativly.

“It’s Ali. You met me earlier this afternoon, remember? I was shoved into you. You also met my cousin,” she blurt out, with a few stutters in the mix.

“Oh, Ali! Come in, please!” he said as he opened the door.

Ali stepped in timidly, looking around at the room. It was messy and disorganized, a sharp contrast to her own.

“So, Ali, have a seat. Why’d you come?” inquired Amirio.

“Just to come and chat. Is that so wrong?” stated Ali, so nervous that the slightest thing would set her off.

“No, no, just wondering. So, how are you enjoying Shiz so far?”

“It’s quite nice. I must admit, it is very different from home, but it’s lovely.” Said Ali, becoming more comfortable with Amirio as she chatted with him.

“You find this quite different fromt the Emerald City? I find them to be quite similar,” asked Amirio, with a quizzical look on his face.

“Oh, no…” said Ali, trying to find a way to cover up her mistake. “It’s just different from staying in the palace,” she stammered, praying that he would not ask her more about that.

“Oh, I suppose life in the palace would be quite different from life on the outside.”

They continued their small talk for quite a while, until Ali looked at her watch.

“Amirio! We have to go! We’ll miss the class meeting!” yelled Ali, standing up quickly and brushing herself off.

“Do we really need to go? I rather like just talking with you,” he said to his newfound friend.

“Well…”

“There will be other class meetings. There will not be another today. I know, lets go for a walk!” exclaimed Amirio, anxious to get out of his room and to see some of the town.

“I guess a walk wouldn’t be so bad…”

“Good! Let’s go!” shouted Amirio, as he ran to open the door for his friend, , just as a true gentleman would.

“All right, all right, I’m coming, I’m coming!” laughed Ali as she walked out the door being held open for her.

“So…” she said as she walked down the stairs with Amirio in front of her, “what did your parents do?”

“My father is a palace guard, my mother is a cook, also in the palace. That’s how they met, actually. And everyone knows who your parents are…”

“Of course!” she giggled, thinking of how everyone also knew who her real parents were. “Ah, fresh air!” Ali said as they walked out the door.

“You like the outdoors too? I always have. I just love the crisp cool air. It’s so.., invigorating.”

“Me too. Mountain air is the best though. It’s so clean and pure,” said Ali, careful not to give away her secret.
They walked around the surrounding town, just looking at the world around them, and not speaking. Amirio slowly started sliding his hand into Ali’s. Jolts of energy burst up her arm as she curled her fingers around his. It felt so right, and so... secure.

They walked, hand in hand, for another long while, before they started heading back towards the girls’ domatories. Amirio escorted Ali to her room. They stood outside the door, not quite what sure to say to each other.

“Thank you for the lovely evening,” said Ali to Amirio, a blush starting to creap into her cheeks.

“You’re welcome. Um, I also had a lot of fun,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck.

“I guess this is good night then,” she said, hiding that she didn’t want the evening to end.

“I guess so. Good night, Ali.”

“Good night, Amirio.” Ali then walked through the door, to her roomates barrage of questions.

Galindafiedgirl, you just made my day. Sadly, with the "Aran" and "Nissa", I'm so tired from sleep deprevation that my mind automatically went to my characters' last names, so I read it as "Naeva" and "Upland" - believe me when I say that I really confused myself for a minute -_-

^_^ Again, good job.

[DancingElphie]

Twisted- Thank you! I put those in, because I love your stuff, and was stuck on last names. I'm insane like that. I would have put in their last names (well, not Nissa's) but I didn't feel like looking them up!
Everyone- Thanks for all the wonderful response we've gotten. This is amazing, and thanks for reading it. We wouldn't be anything without our readers!

Chapter 3
Glinda sat, pacing up and down her chamber. During her twenty years as Oz’s ruler, nothing had ever threatened her power. That is, until now. It had started off as a minor problem, but now was turning into a full fledge war. But for some reason, the public wasn’t for her as they had always been. Anyone in the region that the ‘darkness’ was claiming was siding with it. This was the problem: no one really knew what the darkeness was. Whatever territories it covered though, devestation was brought to the land.
She had tried with all her powers to stop it, but it became clear that that wasn’t going to be enough.

She called in her maid, and told her to cancel all of her appointments for the next few days because of ‘immediate business.’ With that she got her cloak, wrapping it tightly around her to rid herself of the night chill. Then she stepped into her bubble, and headed toward Kiamo Ko.
*****
Elphaba knew that any day she could expect Glinda. Fiyero and her had watched everything from her glass ball. Parts of Oz were in turmoil and Glinda's powers in the Grimmerie weren't powerful enough to stop it. They had talked it over very carefully. Would she risk coming out of hiding to save her country? Fiyero was set against it. Them going back into Oz could have them killed. They had been 'dead' for twenty years, but the people hadn't forgotten a thing. Chances are they wouldn't be very receptive of Elphaba, or believe the true story of her life. But yet, Elphaba knew that she had to do it.

She couldn't sit and watch her land go down in flames, and take Glinda, Fae, and most of all her daughter with it. So it had been decided. Elphaba would go with Glinda and help her secretly. That way Fiyero could remain at ease and Oz just might be saved.

Fiyero walked into the tower room of the castle were she stood. "Come on," he warned. "You are going to catch a cold standing out here like this."

"I can't. I know she is coming. I can feel it."

"Well, at least let me stay out here with you and keep you warm," and with that he gently wrapped his straw arms around her. She silently laid her head against his shoulder. "I know you don't want me to, but I must."

"I know," he said quietly. "But just. . . be careful. I don't think I could bear to lose you again."

"But could you bear losing our daughter?"

He sighed slowly. "You’re right." They stayed like that, enjoying what they sensed to be their last precious moments together. They heard a noise towards the North. They knew without looking. It was Glinda.

Glinda jumped from the bubble, and ran into Elphie's open arms. "Oh Elphaba, I have to-"

"Glinda, I know. And yes, I will help you save Oz. Save our families. Save ourselfs. Save our daughters."

"Elphaba, I didn't want it to be like this. I tried to stop it on my own. But I couldn't! Its too powerful. I haven't ever seen anything like it."

“I can’t figure it out myself. It doesn’t seem to be really a concentrated force. It almost is like a cloud, and everything that it touches turns to evil. Then “the darkness”, if you will call it that, begins to eat at everything. Eventually it becomes to the point where no good can reach it.”

“I don’t know what to do! I mean, you are the one who can read the Grimmerie and have the talent. Its time to do what you should have done a long time ago: take your rightful place beside me as co ruler of Oz.”

“No,” Elphaba said with a frown. “the public is not to know that I am alive. Don’t clear my name, don’t do anything of that sort. Oz is to believe that it is all you. You are the only one saving them. The public still isn’t ready to accept my true story, and quite frankly I don’t think that they will ever be.”

“I don’t care, Oz won’t care, as long as you save our land.”

"I'll come then. Let me get my broom," said Elphaba as she ran off for her broom.

Fiyero and Glinda were now left alone on the tower. Fiyero walked up to his friend, and whispered in her ear, “You make sure nothing happens to her. Neither one of us wants to lose her again.” Then he walked back inside to help his wife finish the last bit of business. Glinda stared out over the walls, wondering if Oz could ever again be as it once was, or it all was to be lost.

********************************************
Ali walked into her suite, trying to be as quiet as possible as not to disturb Fae. But it was to no avail. The blond girl whipped from out behind the door and said in a loud squeal, "I told you so! You went on a date with him instead of going to the class meeting!"

"I did not "go on a date" with him. We just went for a walk" said Ali, not ready to go off the emotional high she had just experienced.

"Don't you dare lie to me! I know you have been. I have been on dates and know exactly what I look like when I come home. YOu have the expression written all over your face. Did he kiss you? Is he a good kisser?"

"Woha, Fae, calm down! I did not go on a date, and he didn't kiss me. You were expecting him to after knowing him for what, a few hours?" said Ali, exasperated with her cousin.

"I kissed Blaise on our first date, so I don't see what the big deal is about," said Fae, dissappointed that her cousin wasn't going to share the deatials easiliy.

"Wait, who's Blaise? Should I know something here?" asked her cousin, supsicious of who this "Blaise" person was.

"Blaise is kinda, uh, my boyfriend," Fae said, stuttering over the words. She knew she should have told her cosuin sooner, but there was never a good time to. Then the worst possible thing happend. A tall guy walked out of the kitchen area. His brown hair was tossled, so it looked like he had a careless attitude to him. Ali was infurirated. Fae had not only not told her about her boyfriend, but had had him over at the house without even telling her!

As the door slammed behind the boy, Ali started screaming at her cousin. "FAE! How could you? You are supposed to be my closest friend, my roommate, and my cousin, and you didn't bother to tell me about him? How could you? And why is he here? I want an explaination. Now!”

"Well, you see, we had a, uh, science project! And we finished it, and he stayed and we, uh. . . . well, he just left so I don't see what the big deal is."

"Fae, don't lie to me. We haven't even started classes yet, so how could you have a science project? And it IS a big deal, because you didn't even bother to tell me about him! I tell you all my secret wishes, my disires, and you won't even tell me about your boyfriiend?" Ali was infuriated. To think that her best friend could do this to her....

"You take it so personally! I didn't tell yuo because I knew that you, Miss Doom and Gloom, would tell me what an idiot I was for falling in love! And I really don't feel like hearing it, so go cuddle up with Amirio and claimthat yuo don't love him, Queen of Denile!" and with that Fae tried to walk away, but suddenly she felt herself floating into the air. She knew in an instant what was going on. Ali had cast a levitation spell fromm the Grimmerie. This meant WAR.

"Can't go anywhere now, can you?" Ali said with a small smirk crossing across her face. "By the way, cousin, my friend Amirio and I are friends. Nothing more. And you say differently because..."

"I say diffrently because I know you and I know what you will do. Lie about it until at last you make yourself believe the lies, and leave the only one guy who has ever even cared about you!" All of the sudden Ali felt her self fly against the wall. Fae gave a laugh. "Thought that you could out do me with a spell from the Grimmerie? My mother taught me too you know!" and with that she turned Ali's dresses to a poofy pink ball gown.

“What if I do care for him? Is that so wrong? Oh, and that is a hypotheical question, because I know I dont'!" Ali screamed at her cousin as she turned her dress a lovely shade of black.

"You witch!" Fae shouted, quickly turning her dress back to its orignial sade of pink. Then, using her wand (which she always kept in the folds of her skirt) she carefully extracted Ali hat from her head and sent it flying at her.

"You're too full of goodness, do you know that?" Ali yelled as she threw the hat back at her cousin.

"You just can't stand it that I'm right!" said Fae, sending Ali up to her level. "You hate it because for once you have to admit that people can actually be good! I wish you would just admit it and be done with it!" and as she said that, turned sent Ali's broom flying at her. "I don't fight unfairly, so there's your weapon!"

"Fine then! I'll admit it, I love Amirio!"

Ali's hands came up over her mouth, not believeing what she had just yelled. Deep inside, she knew she was right, but she was scared to admit it to anyone but herself.

"I told you so!" Fae shouted definantly.

Using all of the anger pent up from her lastest comment, Ali grabbed the broom and started mubling incoherantly. Suddenly, Fae felt her feet tingling. She looked down and found she was wearing... combat boots, just like Ali!

"YOU WENCH!" Fae shrieked, quickly turning her shoes back. Suddenly they heard laughter from the side of the room. There stood their mothers, rolling on the floor laughing at them.

"Well, the only think missing Elphie, is the cornfield and the house!" said Glinda inbetween giggles.

"So right. At least your daughter doesn't twirl a wand like a baton!" Elphie exclaimed, gasping for breath.

"True, true!" Fae and Ali sat and stared. Their mothers had seen that!

"How much did you see?!?!" asked Fae, flabergasted at the thought.

"Well, dear, practically everything. Combat boots, Ali? Clever, though hideous," replied Fae's 'momsie' with a grin as she lowered them to the ground.

"You saw me shriek out something about a boy?" said Ali, whose cheeks were turing as red as apples.

"Yes, dear, we did see that. So who is this Amirio fellow?" Ali's mother asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yes, who is he? I might know his parents," said Glinda.

"Umm.... no one. He's just someone I met on campus today," stated Ali sheepishly as she shuffled her feet and looked at her shoes.


"Liar," hissed Fae, making sure that it was loud enough that the whole room heard.

"Now, Ali, we can always just use the Grimmerie to force you too tell us the truth. I think yuo better fess up the easy way," remarked Glinda, quickly remembering the spell to make others tell the truth.

"Do I have to?" begged Ali, not wanting to tell the whole room immediatly.

Glinda began to chant something, quickly causing the girl to tell the truth. "He's a boy I met today. I went to his place and we talked, and went for a walk. You heard me say my feelings for him," said Ali, very quickly from the Grimmere's spell.

Fae and Glinda squealed with delight, while Elphaba just gave a motherly grin. "I think your father and I need to meet this boy, Ali." said Elphaba, remember the first time she met her Yero.

"Can we please change the subject?" asked Ali, suffeciently embarrased for one night.

"No. We can't! This one is too much fun!" said Fae, bouncing despite her 4 inch heels.

"Now now Fae. Let's not torture the girl too much tonight. Afterall, you aren't even shocked to see us!” said Glinda, putting on her fake pout.

"Why are you here?" asked Ali, curious and relieved that her embarassment had ended.

"For a very, very serious matter. Let's talk about it in the morning, okay?" said Ali's mother, tired from the trip to Shiz. Brooms weren't as easy to control as bubbles.

"There is just a teeny problem. Where are we giong to put you?" Fae replied, a little bewildered at the whole ordeal.

"We didn't think of that," said Elphaba, her cheeks growing a darker shade of green.

"I did!" said Glinda, and with a wave of her wand two beds that resembled to the ones they had had at shiz appeared in the the girls bedrroms

"Then good night to all. I'm going to bed," said Ali, exhausted from all of the days events.
