When Idina's double’s met Glinda and Joanne 14-01-2009
Chapter 1: Behold the stars
Glinda sat near the time dragon. She was impeccably dressed in her favourite gown, like every year. It was cold outside but she did not mind for she knew, she hoped… that soon she would be reunited with her---
“Elphie!!!” she shouted as a green figure climbed limply out of the clock.
Glinda left all her poise and bags behind her and grabbed Elphaba into a tight hug.
“I’m so happy…” she sniffed “…you are here, I thought that maybe…” she held her even tighter. Tears streaming down her face.
Elphaba felt them sting her neck, but did not push Glinda away. The pain of not seeing her love for more than 3 years was far worse than the tears.
She smiled and could not tell if Glinda’s tears where of joy or of sadness. She missed the small figure against her, the smell of honey and skin. She missed the insufferable giggles, the bubbling energy and the need to be wanted.
She stroked the blonde’s hair and whispered in her ear.
“I told you I would come for you my sweet…”
Glinda nuzzled into Elphaba’s chest. They both sighed.
“I know, I was just worried that you would not be able to come back so soon or at all for that matter.”
“Glin…”
Elphaba stopped as Glinda drew her shaking head back . She held still, waiting for her to finish. As she spoke, her tone was not angry but sad.
“I have been here the past years. Every night waiting on the same day you gave me. I …” her eyes fell to the ground. “And then every time that you did not show, I would …”
“I’m here now.”
She stroked her alabaster cheek. Glinda leaned into her touch. It has been so long. Gazing back into the brown orbs, she gave Elphaba a weak smile.
Elphaba spoke.
“I had trouble getting back. The spells I thought would work did not and I thought if I could simply…”
Glinda grabbed Elphaba’s neck and kissed her. It was sudden, but needed. They had not tasted each other for so long. They only broke the kiss a few minutes later.
“We have to go now” Elphaba said panting.
Glinda smiled, loving that she still had that effect on Elphie as she did on her.
“Yes but first things first.”
“I hate that saying Glin”
Glinda sighed
“Elphie please tell me…. how was it? You know flying, freely.”
“What?”
“You know with that…old…”
Elphaba’s eyes narrowed
“Uhm your…”, she cleared her throat
“ broom…?”
“Yes broom…” she tilted her head and her eyes widened, “…thing.” knowing all too well they will travel with it.
Oh dear Oz.
It hit her now that she would not be able to take her bags…and…
Elphaba blinked.
“Well it was… We don’t see each other for years and...” she laughed her witch laugh but more warm “…that is the first thing you want to know?”
She smiled
Clearly the blond I remember
“Oh come on Elphie, some of us travel by …”
“Bubble?” still smiling
Glinda rolled her eyes and sighed
“Thanks for that memory thing but I will have you know bubbles… “
“Are what? Pretty."
Glinda giggled “Yes, that as well but they are also slow...and tedious.”
“My word Glinda” sarcasm spread thickly
She was interrupted
“I wanna know how flying freely was. You in… control. Hopefully.”
Elphaba smirked
“Considering the fact that traveling more than 15 Oz miles an hour isn’t measured as…”
“Good?”
“I was going to say ladylike…”
Elphaba didn’t take offence to the comment, pretending to let her jaw drop
“you…”
“But since we’re past that… it is easier, since if I go a tad.. well faster, “
“If possible?”
“Oh do hush”
“…The bubble can...well pop.”
Elphaba bursted out laughing
“and… “ Glinda continued, narrowing her eyes
“Glinda the Good will fall flat on her arse” Elphaba struggled to say while still laughing.
It was a strange sight, for they both knew only Glinda could make the Wicked Witch of the West laugh. Well the ex WWOTW.
“…oh…Don’t make me slap you.” Glinda giggled
“You know what will happen if you do.” Elphaba said suddenly serious but still smiled.
Glinda flinched and subconsciously reached for her pre-slapped cheek.
“You wouldn’t.” Glinda gasped
“I already have.” Elphaba smirked
“So back to defying that gravity thing. How…”
“It was exhilarating. I had never in all my youthful, spellbound and casting days felt so…
“Alive?”
She smiled and nodded
“It felt like little moths...“ Elphaba seemed like one of those children or maddened adults, talking to themselves. Correcting errors or working out a problem. It was so honest.
“Yes, hot iron moths” Elphaba continued
“Does it have to be moths? Butterflies are soooo much more…”
“Alright” Elphaba smirked “ if you want to hear them, your adorable little critters, singeing my insides, then…”
“Then moths it is.” Glinda said quickly, colour nearly leaving her face.
Nodding she continued
They fluttered inside me, pricking but not so that it hurt. I felt…like I could do anything, fly higher, so I did. Even breach the gates to an unknown paradise that I thought I had no right to even enter. But then… the moths started to pass their life span thus …they turned into coldness.”
Elphaba’s eyes, if possible, grew darker
”The adrenaline ran, the exhilaration fell and so nearly did I, when my instincts kicked, well plopped in.”
Glinda’s eyes widened, not use to seeing Elphie show emotion on, well anything other than passion of knowledge.
“Oh Elphie, did you fall?” was all she could muster
“I nearly did.” Elphaba answered sounding her old self even though the content of her speech should have let her voice tremor shake.
“I got such a …fright relishing I was in the air, because I was actually so high, so…free it scared me Glinda.” She didn’t look at Glinda
''It scared me, for a brief tick-tock.”
To Glinda’s surprise, Elphaba smiled and looked up and out. ” I felt alive, shit-scared, but alive.”
“Oh Elphie I’m so gla… “She stopped
Elphaba’s eyes dimmed and her face fell.
“And then I realized…” Elphaba swallowed “after I recalled what I had done and who I...”
Elphaba’s eyes suddenly shot up and looked Glinda in her blue orbs.
”I left you…Glinda…abandoned you.” She bit her lip
“After that… I wished I had fallen.”
“But you are here now…” Glinda spoke ”and that…” They kissed again
“…Is all that matters”
She smiled at her love. They took hands and stepped though the time dragon.
“Where are we going?” Glinda asked nudging into Elphaba’s side
Elphaba smiled.
“A place called York New.”
