Glinda couldn't help but laugh at the site. Well, at least they were still being themselves. They looked happy. Good. They should. They were still young, vibrant, and happy. She was glad this didn't take that away from them, and she hoped the expectations that came along with it wouldn't either. She'd lost all that innocent happiness all too quickly once she was given responsibility. But maybe it was different for them, at least they hadn't lost each other...

"Well.." said Ellie turning to Glinda - "When do we move in?"

"Tomorrow. Ellie, you'll go stay with your mother tonight. Claire you can go back to Shiz and get all of your things together..." Glinda knew Claire had boatloads of 'things' while Ellie had next to nothing at Shiz. Although, in Claire's defense, she'd had almost four years of collection while Ellie had only had just over a month. "Your houses have already been made ready. You have a staff that should be waiting for you when you arrive. But you never know about help these days..." Glinda made a mental note 'you sounded very old when you said that. that's something your mother used to say. you've turned into your mother' she grimaced at the thought.
And then, in that old familiar pang, the thought of 'mother' hurt. She didn't know why it hurt her so badly that she didn't have biological children. She had dozens of children! They all loved and adored her. They needed her, and truthfully, she needed them. But she'd never have a little blonde running around with bright blue eyes, the spitting image of her, just like she had been of her mother and generations before. The Upland line ended with her: Glinda Upland, great prospect, only child, and childless.

Ellie looked at Glinda - she knew that look. Glinda had always longed for a daughter of her own. It was the one thing standing in between them - Ellie wasn't hers, and she never would be. She always felt that...deep down..so deep that Glinda might not even know it was there, she resented Ellie - by all rights she should have been Glinda's daughter - after all, Fiyero had been engaged to her first. And now she had to raise a girl that was the spitting image of Fiyero - all the things she could never have, and Elphaba - all the things Glinda could never be. She had even inherited her mother's tremendous powers. To this day Glinda wasn't really that talented at sorcery...
