Long note alert XD: Now this is a little odd…WHERE'S MY HUMOUR GENRE? D= I'm scared. I was feeling a little depressed cause I ran out of cookies…mmm…cookies…wait what? Oh, right, mkay, depressed due to out of cookiesness, so I wrote this slighty angsty (If you squint XD) thingy…story. Yeah…story o_e But then again I don't know how to be angsty so it might still be funny. =D (maybe.)
Finally this is kind of a sequel of "It doesn't work that way!" but not really. You don't have to read it to understand, but yes the OC in this latter story, is in fact the OC in the former. *thumbs up* It would help though; you'll understand how the relationship stuffs came to be. Wow that was a lot of typing.
End super duper long note. * Another thumbs up*
Fiyero Tiggular stood on the rail way platform as he and his friend waited for the train to arrive. It had been nearly an entire week since his girlfriend, Elphaba Thropp and her friend Galinda Upland had gone to the Emerald City, and were being missed by the two young men rather badly.
"Stupid train." Muttered Fiyero, "Are you sure we're at the right station?"
Fiyero's friend, a tall blond, shot him an annoyed look through rectangular framed glasses.
"Yes, I'm sure." He grunted.
"Yeah? Then why is there no one here and the train is ten minutes late?"
The blonds' grey eyes scanned the time schedule he was holding, "It's just delayed ok?"
Fiyero rolled his eyes, "Yeah ok, Faolen, nice job reading the map thing."
Agitated, Faolen crumpled the schedule into a ball and threw it at him.
"You try reading it then!"
"Hell no! Reading's for nerds!" Cried Fiyero.
"What's that supposed to mean? You're the one wearing a sweater vest!"
Fiyero let out a small gasp of indignation, "It's a regular vest! It just a button-on ok? You're the one wearing that messed up coat-y blazer thing! It's not a wedding we're going to!"
"I try to look nice! Not that you would know, Mr. Dancing through life in pants much too tight."
"Phff, you're the one with the million cerium hair cut." Scoffed Fiyero as he gestured to Faolen's shaggy hair of medium length, with long side bangs parted in the middle, resembling the curtain cut, but not quite.
Faolen shrugged, "Tiggular, I haven't cut my hair in over a year; actually, I think it's stuck at this length."
Fiyero coughed, "Pretty boy."
"Look who's talking! You carry a comb in your pocket!"
Fiyero's blue eyes flashed annoyance and he was about to open his mouth to say something, but at that moment both young men were hit by a rush of wind as the train pulled into the station. The doors opened, but to the dismay of the two, very little passengers exited the train.
"Great! It's the wrong train!" Cursed Fiyero.
"No, it's the right one." Mumbled Faolen as he read the crumpled schedule, "The 207 from the Emerald City to Shiz University."
"Well, then where are Elphaba and Galinda?"
"Go look around. I'll take the left side of the train, you take the right."
The two men split up and searched the train. After five minutes of searching the train began to pull away and the two had to stop searching.
"Alright, I was wrong. That was the wrong train then." Said Faolen.
"Wait look!" Fiyero pointed at a petite blonde with luggage who had stepped off the train just before the doors closed.
She was wearing a white blazer, a skirt to match and had a beret perched on her head.
Faolen was smiling stupidly as he jogged over, "Galinda! Galinda, over here."
He pulled her into a hug, only to find that she was crying.
"Galinda, what's wrong?" He asked in a concerned tone.
Galinda continued to cry.
Fiyero walked up behind them, "Hey, where's Elphaba?"
The petite girl in Faolen's arms cried harder.
"Galinda, sweetheart, what's wrong?"
The girl sniffed, "She's gone."
"What do you mean gone?" Asked Fiyero rather harshly.
She started sobbing harder. Faolen shot his friend a glare.
"Lin? Just tell us what's wrong. Where is Elphaba? Where did she go? Do you know when she'll be back?"
Galinda, choking back a sob, tried to answer, only to burst out coughing and sputtering.
"Alright, how about we go home first?" Suggested Fiyero.
Faolen picked Galinda up, so that he was giving her a piggy back ride, while Fiyero carried her luggage. While on the walk back to Shiz, Faolen noticed that his shoulder felt damp. He arched his neck so that he could see the girl on his back.
"Lin? Are you ok?"
"Elphaba's gone." She managed to choke out.
"What do you mean by gone?" Asked Fiyero.
"I mean," She sniffed, "Elphaba's not coming back. I don't know where she went!" Galinda started sobbing again.
"Why? Galinda, what happened in the Emerald City?"
Faolen set Galinda down as they entered the gates of the university. The blonde wiped her eyes with her sleeve.
Uh oh, when Galinda disregards mannerisms, something is horribly wrong. Thought Fiyero.
"The Wizard," She started, "The Wizard was the one behind the Animals losing their ability to speak, and when Elphaba found out…oh Elphie," She sniffed again.
Faolen put a reassuring arm around his girlfriend, "Please continue, Galinda."
She nodded and continued, "Elphaba was outraged and then the guards were after us and, and, and soon we were in the attic, and then, and then she swore she'd f-fight the Wizard! Then she just took off on a broom she enchanted to fly!"
The two men were in shock.
"W-what?" Stuttered Fiyero, "Broom? Fly? Gone?"
Galinda bursted out crying again, "She wanted me to come with her! But I just couldn't. I'm…I'm a bad person!" She wailed as she buried her face in Faolen's shoulder.
Fiyero had heard enough, he started to stalk away. Faolen turned to the girl in his arms, he had to go after Fiyero, but he couldn't just leave her crying there.
"Galinda? Go to my dorm ok? Avaric will keep you company, I'll be there soon, I promise. I just have to go talk to Fiyero for a second."
Galinda nodded, Faolen smiled as he brushed a stray curl out of her face and tucked it behind her ear. She got up and started walking toward the west side of the University.
Faolen turned and jogged after his friend, "Fiyero!"
"What?" He asked as he continued walking away.
Faolen caught up to him, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
"Listen, I'm sorry about Elphaba."
"I said I'm fine." His words were sharp, but his eyes were filled with hurt, "Just leave me alone ok?"
Faolen stopped walking as he watched his friend turn a corner and disappear from his line of sight.
As soon as Fiyero thought that his friend could no longer see him, he leaned against the wall and sunk to his knees. His ocean blue eyes stared into the sky.
Where did you go Elphaba?
