The Promise
Elphaba closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she looked at herself in the mirror. A nervous smile made its way across her lips.
Today was February 15. The day before was the day she had met her boyfriend Fiyero Tiggular three years ago. They had been set up on a date, as friends of course, before by Glinda at that time.
The green skinned young woman shook her head from the memory. She had to finish her makeup to get ready for the Valentine's Banquet that was at Shiz Plaza. The banquet was hosted by the college, but it had snowed terribly the day before and the carriages could not get out because the ice was so bad on the roads, but thankfully it had melted quickly.
"Are you ready Fae? The suspense is killing me!" Fiyero yelled from downstairs.
Elphaba grinned. She enjoyed keeping her boyfriend in suspense of how she was going to look tonight. She put some lip gloss on and walked down stairs. It was time.
Fiyero's jaw dropped when he caught sight of his girlfriend. She was wearing a beautiful black dress with black ribbons that looked like the waves coming down. Her dress reached the bottom of the floor and a silver snowflake brooch was pinned perfectly in the middle of her dress. To him, she looked like a princess.
"Let's take some pictures, shall we?" His parents asked. The young prince was brought out of his trance and nodded. He grabbed the red corsage that he bought for Elphaba and slipped it on her wrist.
The couple smiled as the camera's flashed. They took several pictures with different poses.
On the last pose, the two turned sideways and held each other's hands. They looked at each other and smiled.
Fiyero took a deep breath. "Fae," he said as he stuck his hand in his pocket. "I love you."
"I love you too," she replied.
The prince smiled. "And I promise," his hand fiddled deeper into his pocket, "that the next ring I put on your finger will be our engagement ring. This is my promise to you." As he spoke, he placed a beautiful silver ring on her finger. Her birth stone- garnet- was right in the middle of it.
Tears or joybegan to fill Elphaba's eyes. She blinked and hugged her boyfriend.
His parent smiled and laughed slightly at her reaction. "Were you expecting that?" His mother asked.
The green witch shook her head. A giant smile was on her face. She hugged Fiyero again. She did not know what the future held, but she knew as long as Fiyero was hers. Life would be close to perfect.
Author's Note: I do not own Wicked! Okay, I know that everyone is out of character and I apologize for that, but one February 15, 2014. My boyfriend did this to me. This one shot is based off of that. I also know that how they met in this is not according to the play, but it is how I met my boyfriend.
