   Summary

   What happens when instead of Defying Gravity, Glinda convinces Elphaba to do things her way?

   Elphaba's the only one with real power, even The Wizard can't argue that, so she sticks it out with Glinda- and follows her lead into the whirlwind that is Ozian Politics.

   It's now up to them to play their cards right, biding their time while doing as they're told.

   Is it enough knowing they have each other? Even when Elphaba knows everything is wrong and the weight of what's really happening. Just how long can she play along until she snaps?
