Alarm

[Glinda Upland]

Glinda woke up from the dazed spell and immediately took off to Shiz to see if it had worked. Was her precious daughter back where she belonged? No, there seemed to be no sign of Kay. Had it backfired? Had it done anything? She rushed into Boq's study, needing his arms around her.

"Boq!" she screamed rushing in, pushing the door open without even knocking. "Thank Oz you're here!"

[Boq (The Tin Man)]

Boq stood up in alarm, his joints squeaking as he pushed Glinda away. "M...Miss Glinda" what are you doing here? Is something wrong?" He was all politeness. Yes, he had been desperetly in love with her as soon as he had first laid eyes on her, yes he asked at least one question about her on every exam, but he had grown bitter over the years. Hardened.

[Glinda Upland]

"Boq! What's with this? Miss Glinda?" she drew closer, laying a hand on his cheek. "What's wrong with you?"

[Boq (The Tin Man)]

"Please, Miss Glinda" he said taking her hand off his face. "There must be something wrong for you to be behaving so...unusually... if there's not... then forgive me Miss, but your actions are very cruel considering our...History." He squeeked back to his desk, and sat down.

[Glinda Upland]

"Our history Boq? We're married! We have a daughter!"

[Boq (The Tin Man)]

"Miss Glinda, I don't know what you're talking about. But as much as I care for you, and..." (he added dropping his head, under his breath) "you know I do. I can't abide by your jokes. You know how cruel they are. I don't know why you would want to do such a thing."

[Glinda Upland]

"I'm not being Cruel! We had a life! We were married! I love you.." she grabbed her face to his and pressed her lips tightly against his own. Something was wrong, but he couldn't deny her love with a kiss.

[Boq (The Tin Man)]

Boq lingered longer than he should. He had dreamed of Glinda kissing him for so long... but he pulled away, tears streaming down his face, rusting his joints, and hindering his mobiliity. "I think... Miss Glinda, that you should see Headmistress Mombie, or the school nurse right away. They should be able to help you." A daughter with Glinda? How beautiful she would have been...

[Glinda Upland]

"No. You know me," she cried, the tears dripping down her face. "You love me. I love you. I'm your wife I even have my-" she looked at ring finger, only to find nothing on it. "My ring. My ring! Where's my wedding ring? It was beautiful! It was three carats, princess cut with a pink diamond. You even picked it out!" she looked on the floor hysterically. "I must have dropped it somewhere. Something myst have happened to it!"

[Boq (The Tin Man)]

"Miss Glinda, I DO love you. I always have. Maybe I should have made it clearer, but, well, you know what happened with Nessarose. I only stayed with her, for you. Because you asked me to. Everything I've ever done has been for you. And I wish that you could love me too. But Miss Glinda, you're not in your right mind. None of that is true. Besides, no one, let alone you, could love me as I am now."

[Glinda Upland]

"But I did, I do! This is all Nessa's fault! She came back from the dead! She came back as a ghost, embodied people, put a spell on Claire Keat's daughter so that she could turn our Kay into her own daughter with you. Because she was so jealous we were happy." She grasped his hands. "We were so happy, Boq. Look me in the eyes. I know something's wrong here. Something happened. But you have to believe I love you. I love you just as you are. You're so handsome to me, and kind and loving and gentle. You're still you inside. A stronger, wiser, better you, in fact. I see that now. I saw that months...over a year ago. Please, you have to believe me!"

[Boq (The Tin Man)]

"Miss Glinda, listen to yourself!" Boq cried. "You're not making any sense. Ghosts, posession, Nessa back from the dead? You must have had a bad dream..."

[Glinda Upland]

"It wasn't a dream! I know it! I lived it! Something's very wrong here. Why can't you remember? What is wrong?" Then, it dawned on her. "The spell..."

[Boq (The Tin Man)]

"WHat spell Miss Glinda" Boq said confused. "Miss Glinda, forgive me, but you're not in your right mind. Let's get you to the nurse..."

[Glinda Upland]

"No!" she stopped him. "I...I cast a spell to get Kay back...I tried...to turn back time...before Nessa possessed her...it went back too far..." she shook her head. "No..no...how far back did I go?"
