Glinda's note saying "I hope you get whatever your heart desires" and Elphaba responding with "come with me" IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME.
Elphaba is going to see the Wizard, her childhood dream, but HAVING GLINDA BY HER SIDE is what Elphaba's heart desires.
A big part of the reason Elphaba wanted to meet the Wizard was because "Once you're with the Wizard/No one thinks you're strange/No father is not proud of you/No sister acts ashamed/And all of Oz has to love you."
But that's already what it's like being with Glinda. Most of the bullying has gone away, because Glinda's influence is that powerful. Plus, even when folks do still treat Elphaba as lesser, their opinions matter less because she has Glinda by her side who sees her and loves her for who she is.
Elphaba also dreamed that the Wizard would "de-greenify" her (but that it wouldn't be important to him). She knew it wasn't right that she should have to change her appearance to be palatable to others, but she still craved that change.
But then she befriended Glinda, who tried to give her a makeover that had nothing to do with changing the colour of her skin. And even that, Glinda decided that Elphaba's glasses and dress were fine as they were. She called Elphaba beautiful exactly as she was. She only added a flower and said "pink goes good with green." Glinda not only accepted Elphaba's green skin, but realized it had it's own special beauty that should be celebrated and accentuated rather than hidden.
Without the Wizard, Elphaba and Glinda would have been SO HAPPY together. Elphaba had already found her heart's desire.
