Disclamier: haha, yea right

She's gone country, look at them boots
She's gone country, back to her roots
She's gone country, a new kind of suit
She's gone country, here she comes

She stood at the Munchkinland Airport, waiting to pick up her city boy. She had visited him countless times in the city, mostly just to get away from her over-protective father, her over-caring mother, her younger sister who was still learning how to walk, her aunt who was still trying to learn how to ride a horse, and her younger brother who just didn't give a crap about anything but video games, but he had never been to her ranch. Life at the ranch wasn't hard, but her family became over protective after she had ended up in the hospital. She shook her head at the thought, some of her raven hair falling out of the cowboy hat on her head. She was leaning up against her white beat-up Chevy truck, her body clothed in a worn out pair of jeans and a red and black plaid shirt, her feet covered up with her broken in pair of cowboy boots.

He has never seen this side of his green country girl. He's only seen the glimpses of the life she lives at home while she's in the city, and those are very rare. He was worried about meeting her family. She had told him that her parents are very protective and her sister was worried about her, he didn't know why though, but he wants too, oh boy does he want too. He hopes that this trip to meet her family gives him more information about the woman he believes he loves. She had meshed well with his family. His mom had gushed all over the green girl and his brother told him that if he didn't marry her, he would. He knew that she was keeping secrets from him, especially about the scars that covered her back and stomach. Whenever he questioned her about them, she tensed up and told him that she didn't want to talk about it. He respected her too much to pressure her into telling him something when she wasn't ready. He smiled when he saw her, her cowboy hat dipped enough to hide her face, one of her jean clad legs propped up against the passenger door of her truck, her green arms crossed over her chest. He walked over to her, dragging his suitcase behind him. He stopped in front of her, slamming his hands onto either side of her, causing her to look up at him. She smiled and took her hat off over head before placing it on his.

"Welcome to Munchkinland city boy." He smiled and leaned down to kiss her, making sure to keep the hat on his head.

"Oh, haha, country girl." She chuckled a bit.

"You're my territory now," she told him as she ducked up his arm and got his suitcase and threw it into the bed of her truck. "Come in, city boy, the truck doesn't hurt," she told him as she climbed into the driver's seat.

"No, but you're driving might," he remarked, getting into the passenger's seat. She threw her back in laughter before starting the truck and leaving the airport. They drove in silence until she turned down a dirt road that leads to her house. "Wow," he whispered as her huge white planation house came into view. She glanced over at him and smiled as she parked her truck.

"Its home," she shrugged, getting out of the truck and going to the back and grapping his suitcase. "Come on, time for you to meet my family," she told him as he rounded the back over the truck. He smiled and captured her lips in a sweet kiss. She dropped his suitcase and wrapped her arms around his neck; he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close to him.

"FABALA!" Two teenagers called out, running out of the house. The boy ran faster than the girl. The girl has leg braces on causing her to walk slower than normal. She pulled away from him to look at her siblings.

"And who is this?" The boy asked as he rocked back and forth on his feet.

"Well, Shell, this is Fiyero, Yero, this is my younger brother Shell and my younger sister, Nessa." He smiled and reached his hand out to the teenagers with a smile. They both shook them with a smile.

"Come on Shell, Momma told us to feed the horses," Nessa told her younger brother before they disappeared towards the stables. Fiyero looked over at his girlfriend with a smile.

"What?" She asked as she looked at him.

"They're cool kids."

"Yea, they are. Ready to meet my parents, then I'll show you to your room," she told him as they walked up to the double front doors.

"Can't I just stay in your room?" She turned around to glare at him.

"Not a good idea once you met my dad," she answered him as they walked in the door. "Mama, Daddy," She called out as they walked through the front hall and into the kitchen.

"Oh, you're back, Fabala. Who is this?" A woman asked.

"Well, Mama, this is Fiyero, Yero, this is my mom, Melena." Fiyero smiled and reached his hand out to the woman. Melena smiled and shook his hand.

"It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Thropp."

"Oh please, call me Lena, everyone does." Fiyero smiled and dropped his hand.

"Of course, Lena."

"Oh, Elph, your father went into town and your cousin and aunt went with him." The green woman smiled and took a hold of Fiyero's hand, before leading him up the stairs.

"How come no one calls you by your name?" Fiyero questioned as the got to the top of the stairs. She shrugged.

"When Nessa was young she couldn't say Elphaba so she said Fabala, and it stayed," She told him as they walked down the long hallway. She stopped in front of one of the doors and pushed it open. It was a girl's bedroom, but in a black and red color scheme. "This is my room," she told him, holding the door open for him to walk in, which he did. Elphaba smiled and closed the door, locking it behind her before kicking off her boots in on of corners. She sat down on her bed as Fiyero looked around her after he had sat down his suitcase.

"It's very you," he stated as he stared at her wall. She smiled and noticed he was looking at the blue ribbons on her wall. "What are these from?"

"Horse shows." He smiled over at her before walking over to her. He put both of his hands on either side of and kissed her. She lay back on her bed and he came on top of her. He pulled away from with a smile as he stared at the woman below him. She is truly beautiful, green skin and all. She noticed he was staring and started to get uncomfortable. "What?" she whispered, running the back of her hand down his cheek.

"You are so beautiful." He told her that every time they did the deed. She knew she was beautiful, even with the scars she wished would go away, but every time he told her, it made her fall for him even more. She leaned up and kissed him. He deepened the kiss as he slipped his tongue into her mouth. They both jerked apart when they heard the front door slam shut and a deep voice call out.

"FABALA!"

"Shit," she whispered, pushing Fiyero off of her and standing up to straighten her clothes.

"Who is that?" Fiyero questions, fixing his own clothing.

"My dad," Elphaba whispered before they bolted out of her room and ran down the stairs. "Daddy," She said with a smile.

"Fabala, I hear there is someone I need to meet?" He asked, looking at the boy behind his oldest daughter.

"Daddy, this is Fiyero. Yero is this is my dad, Frex." Fiyero reached his hand out to shake the older man's.

"It's very nice to meet you, sir." Frex smiled and shook his hand.

"Likewise." Just then Shell came running into the house through the back door, panting.

"Fabala, Ace, he's acting up again." Elphaba rolled her eyes and glanced back at her boyfriend.

"I have to go, you can come if you want," she told him before following Shell out to the corral, Fiyero on her heels, scared to be left alone with Frex. Elphaba slowed down and walked over to the corral where a black stallion was running around. She nickered at the horse. Ace turned to look at her and galloped over to her. "Are you acting up?" She questioned the horse as she petted its nose. Ace shook his head, like he understood what she had said. She turned to look at Fiyero. "Ever ridden a horse?" She asked him before he shook his head, then she turned to her brother. "Shell, can you get my saddle and reins?" Shell nodded and disappeared.

"Where are you going?" Fiyero asked as Elphaba climbed over the rails of the corral.

"He needs exercise so I'm going to take him through the woods really fast. You'll be fine here with Shell and Nessa for an hour right?"

"With your brother and sister, yes, your father is a different story." Elphaba sighed as she took the saddle from her brother and put on the horse.

"I know, but there's a reason."

"And when am I going to hear this reason." Elphaba mounted her horse and looked down at him.

"Soon, I'm just not ready yet." Fiyero nodded and Elphaba lead Ace out of the corral and into the woods behind the house.
