Hello! This fanfic was adopted at the WICKED plot bunny adoption center (wickedlyhopepancake) and was originally written by MYVISIONISDYING. Does NOT belong to me! Enjoy!
Chapter 1: And so it begins
Fiyero glanced both ways, hands digging into the pockets of his navy blue SHIZ uniform. It was a cold February afternoon, and the new hotspot for students on campus was the Shiz café. No one would pass up the chance of getting a warm drink and chatting with friends, except for Elphaba, that is. She was almost always found in the library, either madly studying for a test or reading a faded novel cover to cover.
Yep, that's my Fae, Fiyero chuckled. It had been one whole week since they had gotten together. Pretty strange, since he ended up running over her foot and becoming bitter enemies with her right at the start. Walking through the door, he glanced around at the tables filled with students. If this were pre-Elphaba, he'd be sitting with Avaric and the rest of the in-crowd. Happily, it was not. He did, however, see Boq sitting at a table alone, reading an assigned book for English. Seeing he was alone, Fiyero bought a pastry from the front counter and sat down by the munchkin. "So, how are you?" He asked. Boq looked up from his book at Fiyero.
"Okay I guess, since I finally got Avaric to stop harassing me." Boq answered. "He would NOT stop calling me Bic and making fun of my height. Sure, I may be three inches shorter than everybody else, but at least I'm not THREE FEET tall!"
"The only mystery now is how you did it. What on earth did you say to stubborn Avaric that made him finally shut up for once?"
"I guess the little man got picked on too much."
"Good. I don't know WHY I ever chose to talk to him at the beginning of the year. That man doesn't know ANYTHING outside of 'dance through life.'"
"Agreed."
After a long silence, Fiyero finally said "So you and Nessa, huh?" Earning him a sharp elbow from Boq. "Hey, I was just asking!"
"That was totally not unexpected at all." Boq replied sarcastically.
"Unexpected? How about you losing interest in Galinda lightning-fast? Now THAT was unexpected."
"A guy has his reasons."
"Still, it was pretty strange, considering how you used to fawn over her."
Boq glared at Fiyero menacingly, and then sighed. "Can we just get back to the Nessa question please?"
Fiyero decided to cut the man some slack. "Fine," he sighed "because I'm the noble type, I'll let it slide. Now spill."
"It's actually kind of nice." Boq said "I didn't believe it would happen myself. Though somehow, when I was in love with the blonde popular girl, I fell for the girl in the chair."
"What did you do when you found that out?"
"Well, for starters, I ended up losing interest in Galinda. I don't know how, I just did. Then slowly, I let Nessa know how I felt."
For a long time, it was like this. Hours passed by with Fiyero and Boq going back and forth about their newfound love life. When it was finally time to get back to the dorms, Fiyero finally said;
"This was kind of fun."
"Yeah, it was. See you tomorrow?"
"See you tomorrow."
…..
Up in Galinda and Elphaba's dorm room, Nessa had joined the girls for a night. She'd needed a break from rooming with the headmistress every night. As she put it, it was "pretty scary living in the same dorm with someone who determines your whole school life. Even though she isn't as bad as she seems."
Galinda had agreed with everything except the last part. In her world, Morrible was a scary, evil fish. Though everyone knew that Galinda tended to elaborate on such details.
After Nessa was settled in, Galinda insisted that she give Nessa a makeover. Elphie strived with a passion that Galinda skip the makeover, but Nessa was much more accepting of Galinda's makeup ideas than Elphaba EVER was. After Galinda's little "initiation makeover" the trio talked late into the night about random things. Somewhere in the middle of it all Galinda asked both girls "So how are your relationships going so far?"
"That's none of your business!"Elphaba snapped instantly "It's FINE."
"It's wonderful!" Nessa exclaimed excitedly.
"Nessa, if she had invited you here just to hear about your love life, I'd think you'd have a better night back with the headmistress."
Oh, Fabala, don't be silly! It's just an innocent question." Nessa replied.
"Really? I think you'd change your mind after staying half a week here. She asks the 'innocent question' three times a day."
"I do not!" Galinda huffed "I only ask once a day."
"It's still annoying though" Elphaba declared.
Galinda huffed "Huh! Kitty gonna go pout" she said, and then plopped down on her fluffy pink comforter.
Elphaba sighed. "Can that pout get any bigger?" She said sarcastically "Well, you can ask NESSA about her love life. Don't think I'm making any promises."
"Thank you Elphaba. I'm sure I can make my OWN decisions, thank you very much." Nessa said, and launched into a conversation with Galinda about guys. Elphaba sat there, bored to death, until finally she quietly joined the conversation, too.
After many hours, Galinda looked up at her fluorescent pink alarm clock, "Sweet Oz!"
She gasped "Its 11 o'clock! Nessa, you'll have to get back to Morrible! She's gonna kill us for keeping you out so late!"
"Its okay, Morrible let me stay with you guys overnight, since it's Friday night." Nessa explained "is it alright with you two?"
Elphaba smiled "Of course it's alright with us. Do you have everything to stay the night?"
"Yes." Nessa replied
"Well alright then! We should be getting to sleep anyways, even if it is a weekend." Elphaba said.
"You know, this was fun!" Galinda said "Just like we were writing in a diary!"
In a way, it was. Elphaba thought, just like a diary. Was I really that willing to let my friend in?
At that moment, the girls didn't realize that was what it would become: A diary. A diary about the Thropp girls dating someone, and the ups and downs that came with it. Oblivious to what the future had in store for them, the girls bid each other good night.
There you go! Shiz dating diaries chapter 1! By the way, this belongs to myvisionisdying. I want to dodge as many bullets as possible while making this plot bunny into a fic. Also, this is really, really, AU. It's Shiz-era, post-popular, Morrible is NOT horrible in this fic, the animals have full rights in this fic, Doctor Dillamond is still here, Boq likes Nessa instead of Galinda, and now for the story about how Elphie and Yero came together in this story (since the whole lion cub thing didn't happen). They were bitter enemies, until one day Elphaba ran into Fiyero. AT THE LIBRARY. He wasn't reading, but skulking after Avaric had embarrassed fiyero in front of EVERYONE. Elphaba talked to him about this, he didn't call her a green bean, they had a moment and started to fall in love, then Elphaba was all "I'm not that girl." Then Galinda found out (because ELPHIE was skulking) got upset, cried, got over it, then she played matchmaker and got the two together. In some crazy way, she made it work. Ciao, everyone!
P.S. Sorry this was so fast paced. I have a hard time looking at stuff from a guy's point of view.
