I'm Not Wicked

Part Twenty

Lonnie leaned towards them, making Eleanor lean back, "It's about Madam Morrible." She said, lowering her voice so only the two of them would hear her.

"The crash," Eleanor said, realization smacking her in the face like a heavy book, "you were watching us?"

Lonnie backed up, a bit of embarrassment crossing her face.

"We could talk in our dorm?" Gabriela suggested, looking between the two.

Eleanor was about to protest but noticed a strange sense of urgency in Lonnie's eyes.

The brunet nodded, breaking eye contact with Eleanor, "lead the way."

As Eleanor locked the door behind them, Lonnie examined the room. One side was covered in pink, with frilly bedding, a vanity with makeup laid out neatly, and lots of stuffed animals. Lonnie quickly decided that must be Gabriela's side of the room, also noticing a sparkling pink chandelier hanging over the bed.

The other side was a hard contrast, the bed had navy blue bedding with just one pillow, a witch hat sitting neatly on top, a broomstick sitting in the corner, a desk, and so, so many books.

"So..." Eleanor said slowly, breaking the silence.

"Oh, right!" Lonnie exclaimed, turning back to the two of them.

After seeing their shared dorm, she really noticed how they themselves contrasted with each other. Pink and blonde, dark blue and green, heals, boots, loose and friendly posture with a slightly bent knee, straight back with crossed arms; basically the definition of "opposites".

"I noticed something was wrong when Madam Morrible ushered me away, and the look on Jay's face confirmed my suspicions." Lonnie started seriously, Eleanor and Gabriela nodded as she continued, "Glinda wouldn't tell me what's going on, saying 'it's a long story', and so did Jay. I've also noticed how much she seems to like you," she gestured to Eleanor, "which would make no sense, given the story-"

"Where exactly are you going with this?" Eleanor prodded, making Lonnie stop mid sentence.

"What really happened?" She asked, her voice serious.

Gabriela looked over at Eleanor; the green girl sighed and looked back at Lonnie.

"How much time do you have?"

"Woah, back up-let me get this straight; Glinda and Elphaba went to the same school, they were roommates and hated each other at first."

"I'd say it was more of a loathing." Gabriela said, making Eleanor node in agreement.

"Loathed each other at first," Lonnie corrected, "but then became really good friends. There was also a boy named Fiyero, who was a prince, and everyone had a crush on."

"Yes, everyone loved him, can we move on from that part?" Eleanor said quickly, not wanting to think about all the people who had crushes on her dad.

"So than her and Glinda go to see the wizard, he tells her to do some spell to make the monkey fly; she noticed it was hurting him and didn't want to finish the spell." Lonnie continued, her mind working a mile a minute to put it all together, "Then the two of them ran up to the attic,"

"And then they had an argument, blah, blah, flying broom." Gabriela said, making wing motion with her hands.

"Don't forget that they wanted the monkeys to have wings so they could be spy's, and watch everyone in Oz." Eleanor reminded, sounding disgusted at the thought.

"Right," Lonnie agreed, and Eleanor could see the gears turning in her head, "so, very long story short; Madam Morrible makes the house drop on her sister, her and Glinda have a cat fight, Fiyero comes to save the day, gets kidnapped, turned into a scarecrow-"

"Before that, Boq gets turned into a tin-man, Dorthy takes the shoes off of Nessa's corpse, Glinda, in a very bitter move, says 'only bad witches are ugly'-"

"She was going through some stuff, leave her alone." Gabriela interrupted, making Eleanor roll her eyes.

"It was a rude comment." The green girl muttered.

"Either way, they make up and than Elphaba immediately faked her own death, via a bucket of water thrown by a pigtailed seven year old." Lonnie finished, finally done with the recap of their recap.

"That pretty much covers it." Gabriela said,  flopping back onto her bed where the three of them were now sitting.

"That's insane." Lonnie commented with a sigh, flopping back next to Gabriela.

There was one peaceful moment before Eleanor gasped, jumping up from the bed.

Gabriela sat upright in confusion to see Eleanor pulling every last thing out of her bag one by one and throwing it all on the floor.

"No, no, no!" Eleanor exclaimed, running to her closet.

Lonnie also sat up at the commotion, watching with Gabriela as Eleanor started ripping everything out of her trunk-that sat at the foot of her bed-as well.

"No, how could I be so brainless!?" Eleanor mumbled, smacking herself in the face.

"Ellie, what are you freaking out about?" Gabriela questioned, running over to her and crouching down beside her.

Eleanor looked over at her with a distressed look on her face, "I left the Grimmery on the Isle!"
