Alianore hovered nervously at a microphone, staring out at the amassed crowd of elves and humans alike. She took a deep breath and put on a smile for the crowd, saying into the microphone,"Hey, all you guys! You ready for some singing?!" The crowd roared back, and she saw all her friends front row. Her smile turned genuine, and she shouted,"Well, welcome Mika and Vera Kaiba, and Stella Wheeler! They're performing three songs from Wicked the musical, starting off with The Wizard and I! Now, welcome Mika and Vera!" The crowd screamed for them, especially Seto, Mokuba, and Reon. The two danced onto the stage, mother and daughter both graceful. Vera's skin was stained green as sin, and Mika was statuesque in her splendor of dress.
Mika said softly,"Oh, Miss Elphaba..."
She then started into her only part of the song,"Many years I have waited,
For a gift like yours to appear.
Why, I predict the Wizard,
Could make you his,
Magic grand vizier!
My dear, my dear,
I'll write at once to the Wizard,
Tell him of you in advance.
With a talent like yours, dear,
There is a definite chance,
If you work as you should,
You'll be making good..."
As Mika slowly made her way off the stage, Elphaba-Vera stared after her before softly beginning,"Did that really just happen?
Have I actually understood?
This weird quirk I've tried,
To suppress or hide,
Is a talent that could,
Help me meet the Wizard?
If I make good,
So I'll make good...
When I meet the Wizard,
Once I prove my worth.
And then I meet the Wizard,
What I've waited for since-- since birth!
And with all his Wizard wisdom,
By my looks, he won't be blinded.
Do you think the Wizard is dumb?
Or, like Munchkins, so small-minded?
No! He'll say to me,
"I see who you truly are -
A girl on whom I can rely!"
And that's how we'll begin
The Wizard and I...
Once I'm with the Wizard,
My whole life will change.
'Cuz once you're with the Wizard,
No one thinks you're strange!
No father is not proud of you,
No sister acts ashamed.
And all of Oz has to love you,
When by the Wizard you're acclaimed.
And this gift - or this curse -,
I have inside,
Maybe at last, I'll know why.
When we are hand and hand -
The Wizard and I!
And one day, he'll say to me, "Elphaba,
A girl who is so superior.
Shouldn't a girl who's so good inside,
Have a matching exterior?
And since folks here to an absurd degree,
Seem fixated on your verdegree.
Would it be all right by you,
If I de-greenify you?"
And though of course,
That's not important to me.
"All right, why not?" I'll reply.
Oh, what a pair we'll be,
The Wizard and I...
Yes, what a pair we'll be,
The Wizard and...
Unlimited,
My future is unlimited.
And I've just had a vision,
Almost like a prophecy.
I know - it sounds truly crazy,
And true, the vision's hazy.
But I swear, someday there'll be,
A celebration throughout Oz,
That's all to do with me!
And I'll stand there with the Wizard,
Feeling things I've never felt.
And though I'd never show it,
I'll be so happy, I could melt!
And so it will be,
For the rest of my life,
And I'll want nothing else,
Till I die.
Held in such high esteem,
When people see me, they will scream,
For half of Oz's fav'rite team:
The Wizard,
And I!"
Vera ended her song with the biggest smile on her face. She then curtsied, and, backed by loud applause, walked off the stage. Alianore resumed her spot, staying only long enough to say,"Now, cheer for her again, this time with Stella, in "What Is This Feeling?" And, guys, if you know the students' part, sing!" She moved off stage again, to let the blond Stella, wearing a cream-colored outfit, and still-green Vera, wearing her same black dress take centerstage.
Stella smiled brightly and said,"Dearest darlingest Momsie and Popsical..."
Vera followed up with,"My dear Father..."
Both sang out,"There's been some confusion over rooming here at Shiz..."
Vera followed,"But of course, I'll care for Nessa..."
Stella trilled,"But of course, I'll rise above it.."
Both sang,"For I know that's how you'd want me to respond."
Then spoke,"Yes."
And then sang again,"There's been some confusion
For you see, my roommate is..."
Stella looked at Vera for a moment before carefully chirping,"Unusually and exceedingly peculiar,
And altogether quite impossible to describe..."
Vera countered after a beat,"Blonde."
Stella hissed,"What is this feeling,
So sudden and new?"
Vera growled,"I felt the moment
I laid eyes on you."
Stella spoke,"My pulse is rushing."
Vera muttered,"My head is reeling."
Stella said,"My face is flushing."
Both sang out,"What is this feeling?
Fervid as a flame,
Does it have a name?
Yes!"
Both paused. "Loathing!
Unadulterated loathing."
Stella snipped,"For your face."
Vera snapped,"Your voice."
Stella countered,"Your clothing!"
Both glared at each other, then continued together,"Let's just say - I loathe it all!
Ev'ry little trait, however small,
Makes my very flesh begin to crawl,
With simple utter loathing!
There's a strange exhilaration,
In such total detestation!
It's so pure, so strong!
Though I do admit it came on fast,
Still I do believe that it can last!
And I will be loathing,
Loathing you,
My whole life long!"
Everyone except the two rang out,"Dear Galinda, you are just too good,
How do you stand it? I don't think I could!
She's a terror! She's a Tartar!
We don't mean to show a bias,
But Galinda, you're a martyr!"
Stella trilled while Vera rolled her eyes,"Well... these things are sent to try us!"
Everyone surged again,"Poor Galinda, forced to reside
With someone so disgusticified
We just want to tell you:
We're all on your side!
We share your..."
Both began signing again,"What is this feeling
So sudden and new?
I felt the moment I laid eyes on you.
My pulse is rushing,
My head is reeling,
Oh, what is this feeling?
Does it have a name?
Yes!
Ahhh..
Everyone else chimed in the background,"Loathing! Unadulterated loathing!
For her face, her voice, her clothing!
Let's just say - we loathe it all!
Ev'ry little trait however small,
Makes our very flesh being to crawl!
AHHH!"
Everyone joined in at once,"Loathing!"
Everyone else continued,"Loathing!"
Both girls sang,"There's a strange exhilaration,"
Everyone else sang on,"Loathing!"
The girls continued,"In such total detestation!"
Everyone else chimed,"Loathing!"
Both girls sang out,"It's so pure, so strong!"
Everyone else cried,"So strong!"
Both girls glared at each other while continuing,"Though I do admit it came on fast,
Still I do believe that it can last!
And I will be..."
Everyone sang in the background,"Loathing..."
Both girls continued, stepping closer to each other,"Loathing,
For forever..."
Everyone else rang in the background,"Loathing..."
Both girls sang, now even closer,"Loathing,
Truly deeply loathing you!
Loathing you!
My whole Life long!"
Everyone else finished up,"Loathing!
Unadulterated loathing!"
Vera stormed up to Stella and howled,"Boo!"
Stella shrieked, and then they bowed at the audience, gaining a large applause.
As they walked off, Alianore returned, giggling. "Now, for their final song, Stella will be singing Popular." She ran off stage as they walked back on, Stella now wearing a frilly pink nightdress, and Vera wearing dark blue pajamas, a tanktop and sweatpants set.
Stella said softly,"Elphie, now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project!"
Vera, looking taken aback, said,"You really don't have to do that..."
Stella smiled brightly, saying,"I know, that's what makes me so nice!"
She began bustling around Vera, fixing her hair and the such, and sang,"Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I,
And let's face it, who isn't less fortunate than I?
My tender heart tends to start to bleed.
And when someone needs a makeover,
I simply have to take over!
I know, I know!
Exactly what they need!
And even in your case,
Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face,
Don't worry, I'm determined to succeed!
Follow my lead,
And yes indeed, you will be...
Popular!
You're gonna be popular!
I'll teach you the proper poise,
When you talk to boys,
Little ways to flirt and flounce,
Ooh!
I'll show you what shoes to wear!
How to fix your hair!
Everthing that really counts to be...
Popular!
I'll help you be popular!
You'll hang with the right cohorts,
You'll be good at sports,
Know the slang you've got to know.
So let's start,
'Cause you've got an awfully long way to go!
Don't be offended by my frank analysis,
Think of it as personality dialysis,
Now that I've chosen to become a
Pal, a sister and advisor,
There's nobody wiser!
Not when it comes to...
Popular!
I know about popular.
and with an assist from me,
to be who you'll be,
instead of dreary who you were...
Well, are.
There's nothing that can stop you,
from becoming popu-ler... lar...
lLa la, la la!
We're gonna make you pop-u-lar!
When i see depressing creatures,
With unprepossessing features,
I remind them on their own they have
To - think - of
Celebrated heads of state,
Or specially great communicators!
Did they have brains or knowledge?
Don't make me laugh!
They were Popular!
Please!
It's all about popular.
It's not about aptitude,
It's the way you're viewed,
So it's very shrewd to be,
Very very popular
Like ME!"
She stopped singing to say,"Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you. you're beautiful!"
Vera, looking into a mirror, said,"I... I have to go..."
Stella, watching her run out, said sadly,"You're welcome...?"
She began to sing again,"And though you protest,
Your disinterest,
I know clandestinely,
You're gonna grin and bear it!
Your new found popularity!
Aah!
La la, la la!
You'll be popular!
Just not quite as popular as ME!"
She curtsied, and skipped off the stage.
Alianore jumped back on stage, saying into the microphone,"Stick around for next time, where another one of us will sing a song or two!"
