The Oz Papers: a fan fiction of Wicked the Musical

Boq's journal December 19th

So much has happened since I last wrote in this thing! I have been made of tin for forever! But I am not going to into details, it was terrible! Not so much the tin part, but not having a heart is horrible! Even my father didn't like it! He was always telling me to get some steel in my backbone, but when my backbone was actually made of the stuff, well technically tin isn't steel, but you get my meaning. My father missed me. A lot. There is a downside to this however, he wants to throw a party. I hate parties! But it was good to see my father excited about something for once. He's going to send out the invitation's tomorrow morning. But enough of that, the way I was restored to myself is a strange and wonderful story. Yesterday I was just about to go out to chop wood for my father when I heard a knock at the door. I opened it and Nessarose was standing outside! Before I could say or do anything, she muttered a strange word and I lost consciousness. When I came to, I was lying in my bed and my father was bending over me. It was mid-afternoon, and the light was streaming in through the open window. "What happened?" Father and I both asked the same question at the same time. He laughed and suddenly it all came flooding back to me. I leaped out of bed and ran out the door, but it was too late. Nessa was gone. Just then I noticed that there was a piece of paper in my pocket. It was from Nessa, explaining that it was her fault that I was made of tin not Elfaba's and that she had found out that there is a way to reverse a spell! She has asked me to forgive her! What is there to forgive? Well it is getting quite late and I am going to go to bed, but in the morning, I will visit Nessa! Oh! One more thing, I am no longer in love with Glinda. I guess a long time without a heart has opened my eyes to who she really is.
