"I'm...shaky. Tired. Scared. Feeling a little guilty, like maybe I could have prevented this. I know it's not true, but it's the way I feel."

"Of course you couldn't. The only thing we could have done was lock up Ian and the rest of them at the first sign of trouble. And that would make us no better than Horrible Morrible, or Mombie. That would have been wicked. Fighting for true goodness costs something. It's dangerous even in day to day life. That's what everyone's just starting to find out. Sometimes the oubvious choice, or safest choice isn't the right thing to do.
We could all sit around blaming ourselves. It's true, we've all made mistakes, but nothing that warrents this. That's what forgiveness is, and I wish some people would remember it."

"You're so poetic sometimes," Glinda smiled, swirling her stirrer in her tea. "I'm gonna go take a look at Ellie, see if she's still asleep if you don't mind.." Glinda got up and walked out of the room.

Tristan came barreling up to Kiamo Ko as fast as he could. He beat on the door screaming. "Elphaba! Miss Glinda! Mom! Somebody!"

Elphie smiled. "Yet for some reason I'm always the one people jump to blame. Even Claire had a go at me earlier" she said. "I know she didn't mean it, she's just upset. But it still hurts even after all this time."
Elphie looked up when Tristin rushed in. "What in Oz name is it?"

"Kay!" he screamed, tears rolling down his face. 'She's gone! Gay--Gayelette took her! She's gone! Skylar and Gayelette and a bubble!"

"WHAT?" cried Elphaba. "What do you mean? What about Kay's necklace? What about YOU? You mean Gaylette just WALKED OFF WITH HER?"

"No! She! She!" he was trembling all over. "It's my fault! I thought she was there to help! She said she was protecting her. We were just talking and then all of a sudden she was spilling words and Kay was in a bubble and ran away with Skylar and they were gone. I ran after them but they were gone!" he crumbled down onto his knees, sobbing and shaking. "I let her go...she's gone....my kay's gone.."

"What about her necklace? Didn't she call for help? WHat EXACTLY did Gaylette say? Why was she there to help?"

"She touched it...I think..." Tristan replied, trembling. She said she had to protect her from something, and the only way to protect her was to take her to see something...I don't know. Something like that. And Kay got up, and I got up; and Gayelette started spewing words. And then she was in a bubble. And then Skylar was there, and they were gone. It was....I don't know what happened. She was just there, and then she wasn't." he'd stopped crying, but he almost looked like someone had taken his soul right out of him. He didn't even look alive, pale as a ghost, empty.

Elphie looked at Glinda, fear flashing in her eyes. "Why wouldn't the necklace have worked?"

Glinda let out a blood curdling shriek, coming back to hear the words that were spoken. "My--my--Kay?"

Elphaba wrapped her arms around Glinda, and spun her face around to look at Tristan.
"I need to know EVERYTHING that was said - word for word!"

Shaking, Gilnda reached out for Tristan. "Wh--where is she, Tristan? She's not gone. Where's my Kay?"
