Dear Father,

I am about to get into the carriage that will take me to my doom. I know that I am an important figure in Glikkun but you are sending me to Shiz University. The school I absolutely loathe. I know you have your reasons but this is unfair. I will see you at Lurlinemas Break and yes I won't tell anyone who I am. It's not as if I'm recognizable at first sight, you made sure of that. Anyways I shall see you in time. I hope…

P.S. – Why didn't you tell me you sent me to the school with the Winkie Prince in it?

Huggles,

Crystal

Prince Fiyero sat in his room at Shiz University. He was still processing the news that his parents had dumped on him about two months ago.

~Flashback~

His parents had come up to his room and knocked on his door.

"Fiyero can you open the door? We have something important to tell you" his mother said softly.

Fiyero opened his door. "What do you need mom?"

"Your father and I have to tell you something that may come as a shock but…"

"Yes?"

"You know how we have been in disagreement with the Glikkuns since before you were born? Well when you were born your father and I took this as an opportunity to make peace with the Glikkuns. We promised you would marry their ruler's first born daughter. Two years after that agreement was made they had a daughter. We then agreed that you both would marry when she turned eighteen. She turns eighteen in eight months. We just wanted to let you know that you will meet her during Lurlinemas Break."

"Wait so you're just telling me now that I'm destined to marry a girl I don't even know?! What does she even look like?"

"Well, no one knows. The Glikkuns have kept her under the radar her whole life. I heard that she has long black hair and the most beautiful eyes anyone has ever seen" the king said.

"That doesn't make a difference I still don't know what she's like."

"Well you will soon. Anyways this conversation is done because the carriage had arrived to take you the train station."

~Flashback End~

Fiyero hadn't told anyone yet. He still has yet to break up with his girlfriend since freshman year Galinda Upland (of the Upper Uplands). Don't get him wrong he isn't dating her because he loves her. He's dating her for image. Anyways it's not her he has his eyes on; it's her best friend Elphaba. The beautiful Emerald Goddess who always has her nose in a book.

It's not as if I can be with her anyways, Fiyero thought.

He sighed and picked himself up and started to get ready for the date he had asked Galinda on.

"Oh Elphie stop reading and help me! Fiyero will be here any second!" Galinda yelled.

Elphaba Thropp just watched as the usually bubbly blonde tore through her closet in her haste to find the perfect dress.

"Galinda I don't know why you're going through all this work I mean he's already your boyfriend."

"Elphie please just help me!" Galinda said as she threw a light blue dress on and started brushing her hair, "Fiyero seemed really off when he asked me out, so I need to look perfect to make sure he won't break up with me!"

Elphaba just stared at her with a raised eyebrow. "I'm sure it's nothing Galinda."

"Humph."

Just then there was a knock on the door.

"Oh! There he is bye Elphie!" With that Galinda skipped out the door and practically dragged Fiyero out of the dormitory.

Poor guy, Elphaba thought.

Galinda and Fiyero walked down the road towards a small restaurant that not so many people went into. They entered and got a seat where most people wouldn't notice them.

"Okay Fiyero what's wrong? You've been acting weird since you got back to Shiz two months ago. Have I done something wrong?" Galinda said when they finally sat down.

Fiyero stared at her and then sighed. "Um I don't know how to say this…"

"Fifi you're not breaking up with me are you?!"

Fiyero winced and lied "No, but I do have to tell you something important."

Galinda relaxed and said in her bubbly voice "Oh okay what is it?"

"Um two months ago my parents told me that they had made an agreement with Glikkus when I was born. They said that I would marry their first born daughter."

Before Galinda could react the waiter came and took their orders. When he left Galinda leaned over the table and asked in a low voice "So what does that mean for us?"

"Um, I just don't think I can continue this relationship anymore. I mean, I like you and all, but I can't continue knowing that I'm supposed to marry someone else."

"So you are breaking up with me!"

"No Galinda I.. I"

She ran out before he could finish. He sighed, well that could have gone better. He trudged back to his dorm thinking about what he could have done different.
