This story is probably going to be short because it's premusical and all so yeah, sorry about that
OMO! I ordered a 'Shiz University' hoodie from the internet and I'm so excited :D. Anywho, on with the story

"I'm off to work" Frex said to his wife, kissing her on the cheek "Don't do anything I wouldn't do" he finished with a smile, walking out the door

Something he wouldn't do? Wasn't a lot lately. They used to have a great marriage, her and Frex, filled with romance and passion and laughter. It all changed after Melena had a miscarriage. He blamed her, told her she wasn't looking after herself well enough, and when she tried to stand up for herself SMACK. That was the first time he had hit her.

Tears ran down Melena's cheeks and fell onto the envelope in her hands. She opened the letter and peered at the note inside;

Dearest Melena

I am in Munchkinland for the next few weeks on my magic tour. I will be at the Oztopia River every evening from 4 till 6, I would love for you to join me but understand if you don't.

Love always,
Oscar

Melena looked up at the clock, it was quarter to five. She still had time

…

His body was silhouetted by the sun, sitting on the grass, watching the water. Melena cleared her throat and the man turned around sharply. Oz! he was even more attractive than he had been all those years ago

"Melena!" he said, beaming. He began to stand "I've missed you!" he said

Melena lowered her eyes to the ground "I missed you too" Melena replied weakly

Oscar noticed the amount of makeup she was wearing "What's this?" he said "Oh Mel, you know you don't need this junk!" he went to wipe away some of the makeup but she flinched away "Melena, what's wrong?" Oscar queried. Melena stared at the floor for a long time but eventually pulled back the hair that had been draped over her shoulders revealing bruises dotted along her collarbones and chest area "Oh, Mel!" Oscar said in terror.

…

"How was your day?"

"It was good?"

"Get up to anything interesting?"

"No, just stayed home and read my book"

"That's my girl"

The table fell silent except the clanging of knives and forks . Melena ran her fingers along the small glass bottle in her pocket "Take it when you get home" he had told her "It'll dull the pain" she peered down at the light green liquid

"Melena!" Frex ordered "What in Oz are you looking at?"

Melena panicked "I just thought I felt something brush upon my legs" she replied "Probably nothing. Here" she said reaching for Frex's plate "I'll do the dishes"

"That's my girl!" Frex repeated. He watched his wife begin to wash the dishes and noticed that there was something different about her. Something very different
