Dancing Through Life - OPEN TO ALL!

[Ian Tibbit]

Ian saw the small gathering of students. They were quite noticeable in the crowd. They seemed like the only ones who could think straight, the only ones willing to take action. He ran to them and offered his help.

"Hey," he said. "Im Ian, is there anything I can help with? We need to get Ellie!!"

[Claire Heart]

"Umm...better yet, because i'm not sure where we'll go if I transport us. Why don't I transport them?" Claire closed her eyes and waved her hands in front of her. "Ahme Kahme Natu Noctem" she began to float a little and she held her hands out in front of her "Asi Aki SOL!" She scaremed the last word and fell to the floor, but no little nome people could be seen under the floor. It didn't mean they weren't there, though.

"I don't know if that worked..."

[Taye Keats]

Taye looked around; most of the students were filing out of the exit, but with the mass panic, there were some severe traffic jams.

"You're right. Claire, I don't suppose you could move everyone, could you? Would that be too much?"

[Polly Chrome]

"You probably just delayed them. But you bought us time! Go! Go!" All the other students seemed to be running back to Shiz. "If only Glinda were here!" She said

[Claire Heart]

"That's it! Polly you're brilliant!" Glinda had given Claire and Ellie both something back in the Emerald city, to call for her help at any time: a tiny bubble necklace. Elli always wore hers on a chain with a key, and Claire on a single silver chain. She grabbed it and said a spell:
"Your goodness we need all your might
To help each student with their flight
Save us from the evil ahead
And direct us all safely in your stead"

A bright pink light filled the room

[Polly Chrome]

"Will she really come?" Polly said.

[Glinda Upland]

Glinda had managed to get herself out of the torment and make sure Ellie and Elphaba were safe. She had planned to return just as soon as she had them settled anyway, but Claire called her back a little sooner than planned. She hadn't had time to ask Elphaba for a game plan. "Upon your call I have returned. My devotion you have earned. I will help you in whatever way I can." Glinda was trying to think on her toes but with everyone running around like crazy it made it a little more difficult.

She floated up in her bubble and nearly screamed above the nosie, "CITIZENS OF SHIZ!" The room looked up almost in unison. "Thank you. I know this is a time of extreme terror, but The Wicked Witch came as a warning...the Nome King and his evil-doers are approaching quickly. Do not create a state of panic and chaos. Instead, return to your dormitories where you will, I assure you, be safe, as I myself have put a shelter of protection on each and every one. If you do not feel safe in your rooms, you may return home. All you must do is close you eyes and repeat three times 'there's no place like home' and you'll be there. I have that magic prearranged, also. Now, if you're still not ok, you can come see me, but please, be satisfied with that, alright?" She was a little antsy. It had been a lot to deal with in one night. Plus, with her here the Emerald City was unruled and unprotected.

[Dorothy Gale]

A small voice echoed from the corner. "Glinda? Is that you?" A tiny girl was rubbing her head, and slowly getting up from the floor.

[Glinda Upland]

She then put her eyes on the small group which knew Ellie personally. To save from trying to explain all of this to them and assure them Ellie was fine, she lowered herself down to them. "Now you, all of you, you're coming with me. Sorry I'm a bit short, but you do understand I must get back to the Emerald City. I need people there with me, smart people, intelligent people who can help me withstand against the Nome King. You all know Ellie, and Ellie is a very bright girl. She wouldn't have picked just anyone for friends. Claire-I need your magical abilities. Kay-I need your information on Mombi. Taye- I need your political Savvy. Ian - I need your levelheaded intellect. And Polly..." She sighed. What did she really need Polly for? Nothing, but she had to protect her because hse was the rainbow Princess. "I just have to keep an eye on you because your father would never forgive me if I left you here." And with a wave of her hand the entire group vanished back inside the palace at the Emerald City.

[Dorothy Gale]

The girl slowly got up. What had happened? She had been looking in her mirror... and suddenly there had been a strong wind, then a crash, then she found herself here. If this was Oz she certainly didn't recognize this place!

[Glinda Upland]

"Dorothy!" Glinda rushed over to her, now knowing that her group was safe in the Emerald Palace. "Dorothy! What are you doing here?" She embraced her. "You do always drop in at the worst time, my love. We have to go to the emerald city. Shiz is too dangerous a place to be right now. The Nome King is on his way and...I will explain it all to you once we get to the Emerald City." She took Dorothy in her arms and carried her into the Bubble where they floated together back to the palace.

[Ian Tibbit]

Ian looked around, he couldn't believe he was in the Emerald City. He had always wanted to come here. Shame it had to be in such a state of chaos. He hadn't even gotten the chance to really find out what was going on. He put his greatest hatred aside for Glinda, atleast just for now, since afterall she HAD saved the image of the Witch this time by explaining her motives, and asked lightly. "What are we going to do Glinda?" he said. You could hear the hatred in his tone, but Ian WAS trying as hard as he could to stay calm. His main focus right now was Ellie, and he would deal with his grudge later.

[Claire Heart]
