Before you get any ideas of this being poorly rated or anything, I will let you know that "spending the weekend together" means fluff. I am not interested in writing any smut or anything like that. I like romance, so I wanted you to know that's what I mean.

Also, I didn't want to abbreviate Galinda as Galin, so Elphaba calls her Glin, but she is not yet Glinda. Just putting that out there.

Anyways, reviews are greatly appreciated. You all are great.

Disclaimer: I own NOTHING. NOTHING AT ALL. HAHAHAHAHA. But really. I don't.

"So. Any big weekend plans?" Fiyero asked jovially.

One of his large hands was entwined with Elphaba's, while the other fidgeted with his empty coffee mug.

"My parents are taking a week in the Emerald City, and they wanted to spend with weekend here at Shiz with me. So I am going to have a luxurious weekend at the Shiz Hotel and Spa. Momsie and I are going to get matching facials," Galinda said happily. Perhaps too happily, as whipped cream from her mocha ended up on her nose.

"Sounds like fun, Glin," Elphaba sipped at her. "You get to go get pampered while Fiyero and I get to stay here and study. What about you Boq?"

"I'm, uh," he cleared his throat. "I'm going home for a few days. My, uh, mother sent me a telegram that I was needed."

"Rush Margins? For one weekend? That seems like a bit of a journey?"

"Well my sister is, uh, turning eight and she wants me to be there to celebrate. It's a big deal in our family. Turning eight. Yeah. Huge deal," Boq said quickly, before nearly punching himself in the face as he went to rest his chin on his hand.

"Seems good to me," Fiyero said with a smile.

Elphaba glanced at her watch.

"Oh my. We... I've got to go," Elphaba announced. Her green hands flew around frantically as she gathered all of her books and bag from the table.

"Woah, woah. Elphie. Don't freak yourself out. What's the rush?"

"Nothing, Glin. Just. I just need to go get studying. I love you and I'll see you late on Sunday."

Before Galinda could reply, or even wave, Elphaba had disappeared with a flash of green.

Instinctively, Boq looked at his watch.

"Oh dear. I've got to go too or I'll miss my train. Have a nice weekend, all."

Boq picked up his suitcase and paused just long enough to salute Fiyero and Galinda before running from the cafe. If he timed it just right, he could pick up just what he needed before he was needed.

Knock, knock, knock.

Boq rapped hard on the door to Nessarose's quarters.

Madame Morrible had publicly announced that she would be leaving for the weekend, so he had no fear of her surprising him. According to the bried chats he had been able to have with Nessa, she had been away frequently. Much to Nessa's chagrin, she had been leaving

He paused a moment, but heard no sound of locks unlocking.

He glanced at his watch. 1:15 pm. The same time he had been repeating to himself for days.

Finally a weekend he could spend alone with Nessa undisturbed.

Their relationship still very much a secret, all their plans for time alone had somehow been interrupted. Elphaba wanted to have dinner, a surprise lecture was being given that everyone had to attend, Galinda suddenly needed everyone's opinion on an outfit. This weekend would finally be time that they could enjoy together.

Boq knocked loudly again. This time he heard voices, and what sounded like footsteps.

But just as he thought no, that's not right, the door swung open.

"Boq! What a surprise!" Nessa announced loudly.

"What are you doing? " Boq mouthed. Nessa gave the smallest twitch of the head.

"Father. Meet my friend Boq," Nessa announced in the same loud voice.

A bald man stepped out from behind the door.

"Ah Boq," the man held out his hand. "I'm Frex. I'm Nessarose's father. So nice to finally meet you."

So? What did ya think? I know this is significantly shorter than almost every chapter I ever post, but hopefully it's enough to get you interested? Let me know what you think. I hope to update sometime on Sundays. If not, I'll keep you posted. Thanks! And please R&R is you can!
