"Hah. I'm a dumb blonde, and they all say so. You just have high hopes!" she giggled, yawning and stretching. "Is it really that late or am I just an old woman?"

"But even Glinda wasn't able to rise to power completely above board." Ellie could say that now...everyone knew about the corruption of the Wizard.
