Chapter 1

Hello everybody I'm Makenna, I'm 15, this is the first fanfic I've ever wrote, EVER!! So please give me some feedback, and don't be to harsh please and thank you. I'm obsessed with the musical Wicked. I've seen it 3 times and think about it on a daily basis. I should probably put a disclaimer so here goes: I don't own any of the characters; all were made up the brilliant Gregory Maguire. So here goes:

The group of friends all sat together under the big old tree. After only a few months of attending Shiz they had bonded in someway of another. It was strange how all the different personalities were able to put up with each other during lunch and social hours. The group consisted of the rowdy Avaric, the careless Fiyero, the ordinary Boq, the elegant Nessarose, the fiery Elphaba, the introverted Milla and the popular Galinda. Occasionally Pfannee and Shenshen the co-presidents of the Galinda fan club and the whacky two-some Crope and Tibbet joined the group. Even though there were tensions between individuals they were a pretty good group.

By November of the school year things were pretty routine; but November posed a nice excuse for the chance to party, the first one of the year. Pretty little Nessarose would be turning eighteen. Out of the whole group she was the only one who had a fall birthday. Since eighteen marked adulthood and was the legal age for drinking in all of Oz. Avaric jumped on the opportunity to go out to a bar.

"My my my Nessarose, the baby of the bunch is all grown up!" Avaric said making Nessarose giggle.

"I'd like to dedicate this fine lunch hour to our birthday girl." Fiyero added, raising his coke for a toast.

Everyone joined in, smiles all around.

"I can't believe you're eighteen already." Elphaba added putting her arm around Nessa's shoulders.

After everyone drank their cokes Avaric jumped on the table.

"I say we celebrate this occasion by going to the bar tonight, this poor kid has never drank before!"

Fiyero chimed in, "Who's in?"

Everyone raised their hands, Elphaba and Nessarose raised theirs last.

"I guess it's a plan then." Avaric said excitedly. He lived to party.

"Who's gonna be our designated driver?" Boq said.

Fiyero put his arm around his shoulder, "Why that you for volunteering Boq."

Boq was about to protest but then rolled his eyes, "Alright."

Nessarose grabbed his hang gently, "At least we can trust you to be responsible." She smiled.

"Yeah I guess you're right." Boq chuckled.

Avaric who was still standing on the table said "Everyone meet up here at eight, Boq's driving." Everyone nodded. Except Elphaba who rolled her eyes.

"Come on Elphie, you're going right?" Galinda asked.

Elphaba wasn't sure about this, she never went to social events and had never drank before either.

"Oh Elphie, you have to! It's for your sister's birthday and It'll be fun!"Elphaba knew her sister would be disappointed if she didn't go.

"Don't worry, I'll be there."

Galinda clapped her hands and did and little bounce, "Yay!"
