(This is for all who need an update on Wicked. This will be all based on the musical because Madison is soooooo fancy.)
She took a breath and released, exhausted. "You don't have to tell if you're tired."
"Shut up and listen."
"Before Elphaba was born, her mother was unfaithful. She saw this guy every night, until her birth, and the guy gave her this liquor that made Elphaba born with green skin. That's how Glinda tells it in the musical. The song is No One Morns The Wicked. Time skip after her sister being born and her mother dying to Shiz. This is where Elphaba and Galinda meet. Before she was Glinda she was-"
"Galinda Uppland of the Upper Upplands." Glinda appeared out of a pink bubble that soon poppedand let her free.
"May I help with this story?" Madison nodded and patted the place next to her. Glinda sat down and straightened the dress they gave her and started.
"I remember that day. After everyone saw Elphaba, she started rambling. 'No, I didn't eat grass as a child, no I'm not seasick. Yes, I was born this way. Any questions?!' She was very temperamental. Madame Morrible soon stepped in and took over and that's how we found out Elphie had magic. Morrible was about to take Nessarose to her room and Elphie didn't want that so her magic thingy happened and they were like, 'You said it wouldn't happen anymore!' Morrible was far from upset, she was ecstatic! She told Elphie that she could meet the Wizard and when Elphie was alone she was so happy and couldn't stop imagining her life as a Magic Grand Viser. Sounds fancy, huh?" We nodded and she continued.
"Well, after a few months Fieyro came and we started dating. Me and Fieyro, that is. That was also the same day my grandma, bless her, sent me this ugly hat for church. It was black and pointy, not at all amazing, so I gave it to Elphie. She wore it to the party and rocked it! She even had these dance moves that everyone started doing, probably cause I started to do them. Later that night I gave tips on how to be popular. She used them the next day and Fieyro noticed. That was also a sad day." Glinda's head tilted down and we leaned in.
"Her favorite teacher, Dr. Dillimond, was fired from teaching and was turned back into an animal."
"Wait, Dr. Dillimond was an animal?!" I blurted out.
"Yep, goat. They replaced the teacher with someone who taught us to keep animals in cages, or so she said. Elphie and Fieryo saved the lion cub and set it free, making almost everyone in class do these weird moves. Well, I guess that was the start of them falling in love for each other. Soon, Morrible came by and she had a letter from the Wizard saying she could go! She invited me to go along and it was grand and it was green... She felt right at home! We saw the Wizard and he explained that he never had children so he wanted everyone to fly! Then, he took out this book." She waved her wand around and a brown book, worn with age, appeared. "He flipped to a page and asked her to read from it. She did and a monkey was near. The monkey started to scream and cry out. She was so worried, Elphie didn't want to hurt him. He grew wings and the Wizard revealed that he made more. Morrible was his secretary and said that it took ages for her to pronounce it correctly. Elphie did it in 2 seconds! She took the book and ran, I went after her. We argued and she found she could make her broom fly! She wanted to defy gravity and asked me if I would join her." Glinda picked at her dress and sighed, "Maybe, I should have gone with her... But I didn't. She disappeared and I became the Grand Magic Vizer. Morrible changed the story and everything seemed great. Then, we heard the rumors spread and Fieryo became angry. I... Let him go. Well, I started to doubt my goodness and such. Elphie saw the Wizard again and they talked, he wanted to talk to her and she didn't want to join his team. A couple years passed and I knew Fieyro was never mine so we called off the engagement. They were in love and I wouldn't stop it for the world. Morrible got a terrible idea then. She would call a tornado and kill Nessarose. Now, Nessa wasn't the nicest girl... Well, that's it. She wasn't nice. The house landed on her and Elphie came after Dorothy left. They took Fieryo and she tried to save him. She made him into straw so he wouldn't hurt when they asked about her. Then, the Witch Hunters came. They tried to find her but she kidnapped Dorothy. The last time I remember seeing her was before she died. I apologized for all my rude comments and bullying and she apologized for being so reclusive... She pulled a curtain away to block them from seeing me. I saw from a torch her being melted... I can't ever forget it. And, I told this to every citizen, the Wizard went back  to Kansas or so I thought and Morrible was sent to prison. I took charge of Oz until Dorothy returned and at that point, I couldn't've cared less about who ruled so I went along with everything. I didn't want to live without my best friend, so I became dead inside. Wait," she looked up at me with a suspicious look, "Why did you want to know?" I sighed and pulled out the book.
"Last night, I saw her. You would've remembered but Elphaba placed a spell in which you wouldn't remember." That's what I wanted to say but I kept it to myself.
"Just wanted to know since the Wizard gave me this." I handed her the book and she flipped through it. "These are the events, just in detail." She put the book down and unlocked the door. "If you think something is wrong..."
"I don't."
She nodded, opened the door and left.

Madison laid down on my bed and sighed.
"Well, that happened." I nodded and leaned back in my chair. Why didn't I just say that I saw her with Elphaba and make her memories come back? Probably cause if she remembered that, she would probably remember something she wasn't supposed to know. I left the room and found the Wizard in the library, reading another book. I held out the book in front of him and cleared my throat.
"Ahem," he looked up and saw the book. He smiled and took it.
"Did you like it?"
"Glinda spoiled the ending. But... There was something she couldn't tell me. Do you know Elphaba Thropp?" He looked suprised.
"Of course I do. She's my daughter!"
"Then, you know she was the Witch of the-" he smacked his hand over my mouth and shushed me. He pointed to the left of me and I peered over. Mambi hid secretly near the door, overhearing everything. He gestured for me to follow him.
"As you can see, the history of Oz only extends back to when Ozma ruled. Even then, that was only when Dorothy appeared and not much before." He grabbed a book off the shelf and scribbled something in it then handed it to me.
~Yes, I know Elphaba was the Wicked Witch of the West. Glinda doesn't know about the bottle.~
I nodded and he rambled on about the history while I wrote down questions. He only paused to take a different book down, hid the other in it, and respond. Soon, he ripped the page out and folded it up and passed it to me.
"Any other questions, dear?" I shook my head and left. I returned to my room and found Madison gone. I closed my door and laid down. Sleep covered my eyes and dreams started.
