Just a little look inside Fiyero's head. He's so much fun to write when he's confused! ;)
Stop.
What are you doing? What are you thinking for that matter? Ok, that's it. Just stop thinking. Easy, right? You've never had to think before. Why start now? Just forget about it. Forget about the Cub, forget about Dillamond, forget about her!
If only I could stop thinking about her. It would sure make my life a whole lot easier right about now. Who even knew she could act like that? Soft, shy voice, sly smile and eyes sparkling like she knew some deep dark secret about me that even I didn't know. It was almost as if she were…normal. No, wait. She is. She is and you have to be friends with her for Galinda's sake. It can't be that difficult. I can kind of sort-of like her, right?
Just not that way. Eh, no worries there, I suppose. Sure she's different and interesting and really kind of pretty when she's not trying to kill me….
There you go again. Stop it. Right now. You can't like Elphaba, remember? Not only is she the artichoke, but she's Galinda's best friend…your girlfriends best friend. We've been over this. Girls have some kind of stupid code when it comes to these things. Remember what happened last time when you went there? High-heels may do amazing things for the female leg, but they can also be lethal to males if used properly. It's best to just not go there.
Fine. That's all there is to it then. You're just going to have to forget about Elphaba completely. Forget that she could be quite sweet if given the chance, forget how pretty she looked with that ridiculous flower in her hair, and forget how soft her hand felt on your cheek today. Moreover, you have to forget that fluttering in your stomach every time she smiles at you. That's just bad. It just reminds how you might just be able to love her if you let yourself.
Fine. No problem at all. There's no way you'd ever like her like that. Right?
…Oh, Oz. I'm in trouble.
