Chapter One
Elphaba took Fiyero's straw hand, and the two set out to find their new home, outside of Oz.
After a few hours of walking, Elphaba spoke the opinion that had been on her mind since they reunited, "Fiyero, where are we supposed to go?" she said, scared.
He stopped and looked at her, his piercing blue eyes meeting her brown depths, "You don't want to leave Oz, do you?"
She shook her head.
"Fae, we have to. It's too dangerous here."
"But what if we didn't have to leave Oz? What if there was a place for us somewhere?"
"Elphaba," he said sternly, "We have to leave. There is nothing left here for us."
"Where are we going to go?"
"I don't know, but we'll find a place. I promise. A place for us where no one will chase us and we can be safe together."
Elphaba nodded her head silently, putting her trust in her lover's straw hands.
And so, the couple settled into a routine for the next several weeks; they would find a secure location, stay for an unspecified period of time, catch whiff of the Wizard's army looking for Elphaba, and then move around again. This was especially tiring for Elphaba, being the only human in the pair.
Since Fiyero was technically an object, he could walk for hours on end, and have an unlimited amount of endurance. Elphaba on the other hand, had collapsed from exhaustion on more than one occasion.
Although she was without proper materials, Elphaba was working on a spell for Fiyero to return him to his human state. This was risky due to Elphaba's lack of the Grimmierie, which she had given Glinda before she'd left.
One evening, two months after they'd left Oz in an abandoned shack, Elphaba spoke up, "Fiyero?"
"Yes Fae?" he said, turning his attention towards her.
"I-I think I have a spell that will work."
He sighed, "You think this one will work? Are you sure?"
"You have to let me try. I know you would give anything to be human again. Give me a chance, Yero." She went to his side and cupped his face in her hand.
"Elphaba, I love you, but I just need time."
"Time for what?"
"I need to find a place."
"We're at a place."
"A permanent place."
Elphaba was beginning to get angry, "Fiyero, from the way I see it, it's going to be a long time before we ever find a 'permanent place.'"
"I don't care. It takes as long as it takes. End of discussion." He turned away from her.
Her anger turned into sympathy, "You're scared, aren't you?"
He didn't answer.
"Fiyero, please. I can fix this. Do you want to be a scarecrow for the rest of your life? Do you want to not be able to feel anything, or touch anything? I just want to help you."
"Goodnight, Elphaba."
She laughed at him.
"What's so funny?"
"You and I both know you don't sleep."
He sighed and turned to her, "Give me a few days. Please."
She nodded, not wanting to fight with him anymore.
