And here we are, at the end of the road. I can't believe this is it. The final chapter of the series. I can't express to everyone how much I have appreciate the reviews you all have given me, and how you loved the story. I'm so glad you all enjoyed this as much as I have. I'm not lying when I saw the decision to write this story was the best decision I have ever done. This story is a big part of me now, and I don't think it will ever leave me.

I hope you all enjoy this last and final chapter, of the Linda The Lovely series.

Chapter 40

Linda stood on her balcony, her shoulder now bandaged, the celebration of victory down stair did not really appeal to her. She would much rather see a peaceful sunset, over a party any day.

The young witch closed her eyes as a breeze began to pick up, she smelt the fresh spring air of Oz, sensing for the first time, a restful, joyful Oz. A place who's war was finally over. The Wizard gone, Madame Morrible gone, Zandra, gone. It didn't seem right though. Deep down Lin knew Zandra was not as evil as others made her out to be. She knew her Aunt Riley thought that, she saw her Aunt right now, she was at the memorial at the gates of the palace where the fallen was sometimes left flowers in their wonderful memory.

Riley smiled gently places a small bunch of pink roses at the wall beside a bunch of tulips. She felt a small tear come to her eye.

"You were right Zandra. You always were. Life is like a rose, but I know you are peace. I miss you best friend." Mala smiled touching Riley's arm. "You did a good thing for her Riley. Damion is smiling now." She nodded standing up.

"Yea, now let's go. My daughter's soon to be husband and her are inside, I'm to meet his parents soon, on details of their wedding." Lin smiled hearing the conversation, she thought of her cousin's wedding. As soon as the fight was over Arya had asked Lin to be her maid of honor. Which she happily accepted, even though Lin had never been to a wedding before, only read about it in some books, or seen pictures. Maybe she would know soon.

The blonde watched her Aunt and Mala walk back into the palace, her eyes training back to the beautiful sunset, and evening sky of Oz, Lin didn't hear the click of heals coming up behind her.

"So I guess what they say is true then?" Lin smiled turning her head to see her guardian, and Jen walking to each sides of her.

"What is?" Lin asked with the first peaceful smile she had worn in so long. Megan and Jen smiled at each other both of them hugging her gently.

"Are people born wicked? Or is wickedness thrust upon them?" Jen said the line from the show that had brought Lin through her life. This made the young girl smile as she hugged them. Zandra wasn't wicked, neither was Elphaba.

"Well I know one thing." Lin smiled holding back a laugh.

"Morrible was definitely born Wicked." All three witches laughed, able to laugh at the horrible woman that kept Lin away from her mother for half of her life. They were free of her, and her wickedness.

"You should come down to the party; everyone's looking for you, especially a special young man." Megan teased causing Lin to blush at the thoughts of Peter. At that blissful moment realized how amazing her life was.

All because of one choice, she came to be, Oz was put to rest, at peace finally, and she was given an amazing guardian, family, and wonderful boyfriend. How could one decision bring so much happiness to her life.

A decision to defy gravity gave her a chance. It was really true what the song said, the message within it.

"I'll be down in a sec. I just want to watch for one more minute."

"Alright hurry down Linda the Lovely." Lin giggled as Jen and Megan hurried off to their husbands. Looking back out Lin smiled brightly touching the charmed necklace, feeling her marks tingle. She had done it, her family had done it. They have saved Oz and now for generations children will not hear of the wicked witch of the west. But the Witch of Oz.

Before she left her balcony overlooking Oz, her markings beginning to shine, Lin sung on line she had heard so many times, and at that moment, it made her heart soar.

"Because I knew,…Because I knew you. I have been changed…For Good."

With those words Linda the Lovely, left to be with her family, and love where she belonged.
