Scarecrow Complex

AN: This is my first Wicked fic! I've just recently seen the show for the first time. I was thinking about Fiyero, who I thought was great! I began to wonder what was going through his mind all through out The Wizard of Oz? This will be his stream of continence with a few interruptions from Elphaba. Oh by the way the Fiyero I saw was played by David Burnham, so his appearance was modeled after him. This starts after he's been beaten, the guards have left him for dead.

Okay…ouch, ouch, ouch. No that's an understatement. Everything hurts, no still a huge understatement. I'm not sure I know a word that could really sum up just how much this really sucks. I bet Elphaba could come up with some big word that fits. Elphaba… oh my god, Elphaba! Please Oz, let her be all right, let her have made it to Kiama Ko safely, just let her be alive, please. I promise I'll never ask for anything else in my life just let her be safe! I don't care if I die just let her be safe!

Oh Oz! What the hell? I should not be tingling! Unless this is some new side of pain I'm not used to. AGGH! OH OZ! Yeah there's the pain, lots and lots of pain. Why am I going so limp? I know stuff is broken, but my arm didn't feel like this when I broke it before. Okay, I'm thinking that word a lot… Hey! Everything's stopped hurting. Come to think of it, I've been doing that a lot lately, thinking. Weird. Anyway I don't feel much of anything actually. Maybe I can lift myself up and see how bad it is.

SWEET OZ! Straw! Straw! I'm made of straw! I am stuffed with straw! I'm a man of straw! What are those called? Come on think, you've been doing that, come on Fiyero think! Scarecrows! They're called scarecrows! They stand in cornfields! Crap! I hate corn. Shut up this is no time to be thinking about your preference in vegetables! I have to think of a way to get to Elphaba! Okay, something just clicked! Do the thinking thing again! Elphaba equals "Wicked Witch of the West", witch equals magic, magic equals wizard, wizard equals spells, spells equal spell book, and spell book equals The Grimmirie! That's it! Elphaba turned me into a scarecrow to save my life using The Grimmirie! Not a bad job on my part. So how am I going to get out of this cornfield? I still hate corn. Stop it with the corn! A walking talking scarecrow might cause some suspicion. Walking! I can walk to Kiama Ko and Elphaba! Great, wonderful! I better start a plan. Step one: find out which way is Kiama Ko. Step two: find out if I can walk. Step three: find Elphaba and sweep her off her feet! Maybe I should put that idea on the shelf for a while until I get through the first two steps. Yeah, take it easy Fiyero. I wish Elphie were here she'd have a better plan. Elphaba is my plan. Okay Fiyero on the count of three you'll stand up! One, two, three! Uh, okay on the count of five. One, two, three, four, five! Yeah this really sucks. I guess this is what it's like to be Nessa. So step two's not going to well. I'll start over, step one: find out which direction Kiama Ko's in, and step two: crawl in that direction. There has got to be an easier way to do this. "Dancing through life…" Agh! Why won't that song get out of my head? I can't even walk, how am I supposed to dance?

Wow this sucks.

Maybe I should try getting up again. I've already sat up, that's a good sign right? Yeah! I can do this! One, two, three get up!

Okay that was a start. Kneeling is good. Ready, up!

Squatting! Even better than kneeling! Go!

Standing and falling back down on your ass! Back to square one. One, two, three up!

I can't do this.
