Yes, it's me again. With yet another one-shot... Like the Gloq fic, this one also refused to leave my head. This is both Fiyeraba and Gloq, but mainly Fiyeraba. It's all fluff! Oh, Elphaba is two years older than Nessa in this. It starts with Elphaba being five, then seven, then eighteen. Lol, I love the cover picture it's so cute! The brunette girl could be Elphie in a way, and Fiyero can be the blonde boy!
Disclaimer: No, just... No.
"Fabala!" Three year old Nessa called out in the middle of the night. Elphaba ran to her sisters room, worry etched on her face.
"Yes, Nessie?" She asked. Nessa turned away from the window and wheeled herself over to her older sister. "Why can't I go to school?" She whined. Elphaba walked over to her sister and hugged her.
"You're too young, Nessie. I'm starting kindergarten tomorrow, and you're going to the Ozian Day Care. You'll have fun." The five year old assured her.
"Did you have fun when you were in Dway Care?" Nessa asked. Elphaba smiled sadly. "Father didn't send me. He thought that I would scare the other children." She answered.
"Oh." Nessa wheeled herself over to her closet. "What should I wear?" She held up two dresses. One was a navy blue sailor-like dress with white piping and matching shoes. She held up a white bow to her hair.
The other was a pink frilly dress which, according to Nessa, was absolutely perfect for Day Care. Tossing her pajamas away, Elphaba helped her into the pink dress. It was poofy and it reminded Elphaba of a flamingo, but she kept her mouth shut and smiled.
"Fabala! You should wear the the other dress! It's too big on me! It might fit you!" Nessa gushed. Elphaba shook her head rapidly. "No, Nessie."
Nessa looked down and pouted. "You don't have to wear the bow or the shoes.. Just the dress! It's almost like your frocks, except you'll look prettier." She tried.
"No, Nessie." Elphaba insisted.
"But Fabala!" Nessa whined. Footsteps were heard in the corridor and Frex entered the room. "Elphaba!" He said sharply. "What are you doing in Nessa's room at this hour!"
"Father!" Nessa smiled sweetly, lifting up her arms. Frex looked at her in adoration and lifted her up, hugging her. Elphaba sighed wistfully, for the scene reminded her of her mother. She unconsciously touched the small green bottle that she had hung in a chain around her neck.
"Fabala and I were just picking our outfits for tomorrow! But Fabala won't wear the dress I want her too." She pouted. Frex looked pointedly at his eldest daughter.
"You're going to wear that dress. And we'll talk about this tomorrow, get to bed." Elphaba kissed Nessa on the cheek and helped her get ready for the night. Then she grabbed her dress and Frex shoved the child out of the room, slamming the door in her face.
Elphaba felt hot tears trailing down her cheeks as she walked to her bedroom. She missed Mama. She was the only one who truly loved her. Sobbing softly, she got into the bed and fell into a fitful sleep.
Elphaba felt her alarm clock go off at exactly six thirty in the morning. Turning it off so that it wouldn't wake Nessa, she rubbed her eyes and stepped out of bed. Her sister wouldn't be awake for another hour, giving the five year old a certain amount of time to get ready.
Sighing, she grabbed the offending garment. It truly wasn't that bad, at least it wasn't pink. She shuddered at the mere thought of Nessa forcing her into a pink dress.
Taking one last look, she stepped into the dress, pairing it with her worn black boots. Nessa was forcing her to wear her hair down and if she didn't, she would tell father.
She pulled her raven braid out of it's prison, brushing each lock carefully. Her straight her ended halfway along her back. She carefully placed her glasses on her nose and took a look.
Elphaba gasped. She looked... Good. Not beautiful, because she would always be far from that, but she was decent. Taking a glance at the clock, she walked out of the dorm ready to wake up Nessa.
There were times when Elphaba wished that she were like Nessa. Sure she was in a wheelchair, but she wasn't green. Nessa had beautiful alabaster skin and adorable chocolate curls. It was better than being a stubborn green girl with scary powers.
She shook her sister gently. "Nessie?" She called in a soothing tone. Nessarose opened her hazel eyes and stretched out her hands.
"Fabala?" She asked sleepily. Looking at her sister, Nessa gasped. "Fabala, you look amazifying!" She said. Elphaba shrugged, she was usually pretty blasè about her clothes.
"Come on, let's get you ready." She said, helping Nessa into her chair. "Which dress did you pick?" She asked. Nessarose pointed to the frilly nightmarish dress.
Once she she was all ready, with her chestnut colored hair curled and her shoes shined, Elphaba helped Nessa into the dining room. She dropped Nessa off, filling her plate with pancakes, before she sat down to read for a few minutes before she had to leave.
"Elphaba!" Frex yelled. "Get to school." Elphaba's eyes snapped toward the grandfather clock and she gasped. Ten minutes to eight. She may have been five, but she was quite precocious and could already tell time. Running out the door, she walked over to her school, Munchkin Primary.
"I don't understand why I have to go go this boringfied place!" Galinda shrieked. Eveanna, her mother, tucked a blonde curl behind her ear. "Popsicle has to stay here for a year. But don't worry, Fiyero will be with you." She said, pointing to the Vinkun Prince, who was wearing a scowl.
"I don't want to come here, either!" He yelled defiantly, blowing his sandy hair out of his face. "Now, Yero!" Marlenah Tiggular reprimanded.
"Fifi, it won't be so bad." Galinda said, trying to convince herself.
"Yes, it will!" He pouted, on the verge of throwing a fit. Galinda shrieked in his ear, causing him to jump a mile away. She grabbed his collar. "Now, you listen to me Tiggular! We are in this together wether you like it, or not!" She snarled, then she smiled sweetly. "Ok?" Fiyero nodded out of fear.
"Elphaba!" Boq called out, running to his friend. "Hello, Boq." She greeted curtly.
"Did you hear? Galinda Upland and Fiyero Tiggular are both coming to this school! I've heard that Galinda is beautiful." He said, a dreamy look on his face.
"Fiyero Tiggular? Isn't he that Vinkun Prince? What in Oz is his family doing in Munchkinland with the Uplands?" Elphaba asked, her brow knotted.
"Rumor has it that their families are lifelong friends and they're going to discuss their business here for a year." Boq explained.
"How are you so omniscient about gossip?" Elphaba asked. Boq, who was used to his friends large words, frowned. "I have two sister that are in Secondary School. You've always been smart, do the math." He answered ruefully.
Elphaba giggled as she wondered what it would be like to live in a castle. If she wasn't green, that is. She would have a huge library and myriad of books! This Prince was lucky, and her curiosity was piqued.
"Elphaba, watch out!" Boq yelled, snapping her out of her reverie. She looked up and her heart thumped loudly. A regal carriage was vastly approaching her. When it semmed like it was going to hit her, she closed her eyes and braced herself for impact.
But it never came. She felt her body being thrust forward, but she wasn't hurt. Opening one eye fearfully, she saw a boy that was about her age. He had sandy blonde hair and deep azure blue eyes.
"Are you ok?" He asked, his eyes lingering on her skin, before making it's way to her eyes. She has really pretty eyes. He thought.
Elphaba blushed, making her cheeks turn a nice mauve color. Fiyero smiled, liking that color on her, and decided that he would like to see more of it. "I'm fine." She answered.
"Fifi!" Galinda tumbled out, her pink dress swishing around her feet. She smacked him in the arm. "You can't just jump out a carriage!" She looked at Elphaba, her eyes widening.
"You're green." She stated, incredulously. Elphaba rolled her eyes.
"Really? I hadn't noticed?" She said dryly. Galinda giggled. "You're funny! I like you!" She linked arms with the green child. "We're going to be bestest friends!" Elphaba looked at her a little shocked.
Fiyero scowled, Galinda was stealing his thunder. "Hey! I met her first!" He yelled, pulling Elphaba toward him.
"Well, she's my bestest friend!" Galinda argued, yanking her arm in her direction.
"Stop it!" Fiyero said. Marlenah and Eveanna stepped out of the carriage and pulled apart the trio.
"Fiyero! Galinda!" Marlenah said sharply. "You're going to rip this poor girls arms off!"
Galinda and Fiyero looked at Elphaba sheepishly. "I'm Fiyero." He said, extending his arm. Elphaba took it. "Fiyero Tiggular?" She asked. "The Crown Prince Of The Vinkus?"
Fiyero nodded. Galinda burst forward. "I'm Galnda Arduenna Upland. Of the Upper Uplands." She specified boisterously.
"I'm Elphaba. Elphaba Thropp." She answered. Galinda crinkles her nose. "Hmm, I like Elphie! Can I call you Elphie?!" She asked.
"Uh.. It's a little perky." Elphaba answered. Galinda, taking that as a good sign, threw her arms around the green girl. "We're going to be bestest friends forever!" She squealed. Elphaba gaped at the blonde. She'd never had a friend.
"Hey! How come she gets to call you Elphie?" Fiyero asked. "I'm going to call you.. Fae!"
Elphaba blushed again. "I'd like that." Fiyero beamed and laced his arms with her. "Your going to be my girlfriend." He said proudly. At Elphaba's shocked expression he added, "That is, if you want to be."
Elphaba thought a moment. A friend and a boyfriend? This was beyond odd! But, besides herself, she nodded and Fiyero kissed her on the cheek, smiling lopsidedly.
"Elphaba?" Boq asked, running up to her. "Are you ok?" Elphaba nodded. The Munchkin took one look at Galinda and his eyes widened.
"H-hi. I-I'm Boq." The Munchkin said nervously.
Galinda studied him for a momentAnd could immediately tell that he liked her. "I like you too! We can start dating! And then we can double date with Elphie and Fifi!" She squealed. The two moms watched this with amusement.
"What's a double date?" Boq asked. Galinda shrugged. "I don't know. But we can also have a double wedding!"
Elphaba smiled. For once, the five year old felt that she was someplace where she belonged.
Two Years Later:
Elphaba stared at her 'bestest friend,' tears trailing down her face. Fiyero was crying as well, hugging his Fae.
"D-do you have to leave?" Boq asked, heartbroken that his girlfriend had to go.
"Momsie and Popsicle said that we were only supposed to stay for a year. We stayed for two because of some boringfied reason. But now I have to go back to the Gilikkin and Fiyero has to go back to the Vinkus." The seven year old explained, holding back tears of her own.
"I'll never forget you, Elphie." Galinda said, hugging her. Elphaba smiled. "You were one of my only friends." She said.
"And I've had so many friends!" Elphaba glared at her. "But only one that mattered." Galinda justified.
"Fae." Fiyero whispered. "I will find you again. And then we're all going to live happily ever after. I promise."
"Don't make a promise you can't keep." Elphaba warned.
"It doesn't matter where I am, or where you are. I will find you. You will always be My Fae." Fiyero swore, unexpected maturity overtaking him.
"And you will always be Yero, My Hero." The two embraced as did Galinda and Boq. Then Galinda and Fiyero mounted the carriage And rode off.
Eighteen year old Elphaba woke up groggily. Following the same routine as always, she stood up, dressed in a shapeless navy blue frock with a blue knitted cap, her glasses, boots, and raven hair tucked in a side braid.
After Nessa was ready and dressed, Elphaba walked out and headed to the carriage outside. Helping Nessarose up, she situated herself in the seat.
Upon arriving, Nessa went off to reconnect with some old friends that she had met in secondary school.
Elphaba trailed alone, her nose in a book. A regal carriage passed not to far away, aiming for the green girl. Feeling an odd sense of déjà vu, she looked up just as the carriage stopped in front of her.
"Hey, watch where you're going!" Avaric Tenmeadows yelled from the drivers chair. Elphaba rolled her eyes as she walked up to the carriage, book in hand.
"Hey you! Wake up!" She yelled at the sleeping inhabitant. The man opened his eyes and Elphaba felt her jaw drop. "F-Fiyero?" She asked.
The Prince snapped up, looking at Elphaba. "Fae?" He asked. Elphaba nodded and Fiyero pulled her into a hug.
"Elphie?!" A voice behind her shrieked. Elphaba whirled around and was met with the sight of Galinda Upland and Boq walking hand in hand.
"Galinda!" That all embraced, happy to be together again. "Now, we can finally have that double wedding." She squealed.
Fiyero smiled. "You know, aren't boyfriends and girlfriends supposed to kiss?" He asked, grinning coyly.
"Are we still dating?" Elphaba asked. She had believed that it was a childish whim, and now that he was older, why would the Prince want her?
"Did we ever break up?"
"Not exactly..." Elphaba admitted. "But I didn't think that you would want to date an Artichoke."
Fiyero gaped at her. "Do I need to prove to you how much I want to be with you?" he asked.
"Maybe." Elphaba said cheekily. Fiyero pulled her into a long kiss. They didn't hear anything except for the beats of their hearts. They didn't hear Galinda squeal or Boq cheer. They were oblivious to everything but themselves. Finally, pulling apart for air, Fiyero grinned in the same lopsided way.
"I think that there is enough proof." He said.
"Oh, I don't know I think I might need some more convincing." Elphaba answered, smirking.
"Gladly." He smiled, before kissing her deeply.
Tada! How did you like that? I personally thought it was cute, but I would love your opinions. So, if you can, show the review button some love. It doesn't take too long... Dang, this is over 2,000 words! This is officially the longest document I have ever written! Huzzah!
