Hello, fellow Wicked fans! Thanks for tuning into my very first fan fic! This is my theory on what would happen if Elphaba, Fiyero, and Galinda ended up in NYC and saw their story as a musical. I know what you're thinking… actually I don't, what are you thinking? Haha! I'm funnyyyyy!!!! :D. Ok here comes the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own a single thing from Wicked, except the story that you're about to read. Gregory Maguire is a genius for writing the story and I desperately wish that I thought of it first… but I didn't. *tear* D: Ya. I think you get the idea. So without further ado (Oz, that's a weird word), here's the story! Buh, buh, buh, BUUUUHHHHHH!!!!!!! (those were supposed to be trumpets. Get it?) Whatever! Here it is!
Elphaba awoke to find herself staring at the bright light of the spring morning through the window. She slowly looked down to see piles of open books in her lap. 'I must have dozed off while I was studying,' she thought to herself. Suddenly, she remembered that it was Tuesday. She had history first on Tuesdays and it was the only class with Galinda and Nessa. Galinda might murder her if she didn't get there early to gossip and she had to keep a close eye on Nessa, even though she seemed fine by herself. Plus, history was the only class with an Animal as the professor, and Doctor Dillamond seemed to be a very nice Goat.
Elphaba rushed to the closet to get her dress and quickly gathered her books into her black messenger bag. Galinda always left first to meet her friends down at the café before they left for their classes. Elphaba liked to leave early too, but actually get to class early, not to meet up with friends, not that she had any to begin with, besides Galinda
Once she finally collected all of her books, she swiftly glided out of the dorm room, somehow managing to shut the door behind her. As she walked out of the building, there was an eerie silence. The courtyard was deserted. 'That's strange,' she thought. 'It should be bustling with students by now.' She knew she wasn't as early as usual, but she couldn't be that late, right?
She looked up at the tall, looming clock tower that read 8:00.
"Ugh!" she groaned. She was outside, ready for class an hour before it started. "Galinda's probably getting coffee to wake herself up before spending the extra hour on make-up and shoes," Elphaba mumbled to herself, grumpy with frustration and sleep- deprivation. She decided to see if the classroom was open so she could study some more.
To her amazement, the history room door was swung wide open, and to her shock, someone was already inside. The student seemed too muscular to be a boy, but also too young to be a man. He had dark brown, almost black hair, and deep blue eyes. Those features, along with his muscular physique, made him look extremely handsome.
"What are you doing here?" Elphaba questioned him, slightly annoyed that she didn't have the classroom to herself to study.
"I was just about to ask you the same thing," he replied in a surprisingly soothing, deep voice, but also slightly annoyed that he didn't have the room to think to himself anymore.
Elphaba finally recognized him as Fiyero, Galinda's boyfriend. Galinda had spent hours upon hours gossiping with her describing "Fiyero's soft hair and his deep eyes and his warm smile and his soothing voice" and so on. Elphaba had gotten the idea that he was good looking, but after seeing him for herself, she found herself wanting to stare at him all day. But she thought that he thought that she was just a walking, talking celery stick.
-------------------------------
Within the few seconds that Elphaba was in the room, Fiyero had observed everything about her. He recognized her as Galinda's roommate, the "green girl". Galinda had described her as gloomy and not too cheery, but still somehow fun to be around. He was shocked that Galinda hadn't said more about Elphaba. Fiyero thought that she was the most beautiful person in all Oz. She had a gorgeous figure and deep, sensitive, dark brown eyes, and silky, jet black hair to match her clothing. Although he had heard some nice gossip about her beauty, he had no idea that they were talking about Elphaba, who was so breath-takingly gorgeous, that even Fiyero, the most popular guy in school, felt out of her league. He was hypnotized with every word she said, as her voice sounded like an angel's.
Fiyero, at this point, was completely oblivious to the fact that he was staring at her like an idiot until she waved her hand in front of his face and yelled, "Yes! I'm green! Get it through your head already!"
"WH-what? Oh! N-no, I-I didn't mean to, uh, oh!" Fiyero stammered as she gave him an annoyed look. He awkwardly stood up from his desk and looked down, trying not to look into her eyes and fall under "spell" again.
"When will people stop staring at my skin???" she asked, still very much annoyed.
"No, I wasn't staring at your skin!" Fiyero quickly explained. "I was just thinking how beautiful you look compared to everyone else-oop!" he quickly tried to cut himself off, but it was too late. His thoughts had slipped out and he had no way to cover up what he just said.
"What?" she asked, not completely sure she heard him right.
"What?" he answered, trying to play dumb.
"What?"
"What?"
"Ugh! I don't have time for this!" she yelled at him. Even though she had shouted, he savored every time her beautiful voice was directed in his general direction, but he let out a sigh of relief that she didn't really seem to remember what he had said.
The rest of the hour was spent in silence, Elphaba with her nose in a book and Fiyero staring at her with longing, desperately wishing that he wasn't dating her best friend.
Finally the professor entered the room, surprised to see his best student, and one of his "not-the-best" students in the room half an hour before class.
"Miss Elphaba! Master Fiyero! What are you doing here so early?" asked Dr. Dillamond, choosing to ignore the fact that Fiyero was staring at her idiotically.
"Huh? Oh! Well I just got here early to um, uh," Fiyero started, but became lost in Elphaba's perfect face, and he seemed to forget everything around him, except for her.
"Uh, we both misread the time but decided to stay here and study," Elphaba explained after realizing that Fiyero was about to start a very awkward silence.
Dillamond just shrugged his broad, furry shoulders and began writing the day's lesson on the board. Elphaba turned and gave Fiyero a cautious look, then became absorbed in her book again. He tried to look away and break the "spell", but he couldn't. The silence continued until the other students entered the room.
------------------------------------------
"Alright students! Please turn to page 250 in your textbooks," Dillamond bellowed as he began the lesson. There was a soft rustling of papers as students tried to find the correct page number. Fiyero gave Elphaba a quick glance and then turned away before she could trap him under her spell again. He turned to see Galinda giggling and waving at him, which he returned back with a half-hearted smile.
Elphaba looked at Galinda who gave her a worried look and motioned her head toward Fiyero. 'What's wrong with him?' Galinda thought to herself. 'He's been acting very strange today so far.' Elphaba seemed to read her mind and just shrugged her shoulders. She had wanted so badly to look at Fiyero, with his deep, light blue eyes, but she knew that if she did, she wouldn't be able to stop. She would be lost in his eyes of liquid sapphires, and she knew Galinda was constantly looking at him to see if he was okay. She would definitely see Elphaba staring at Fiyero like a fool, which Elphaba certainly wasn't! She decided to just keep her eyes on her textbook.
Suddenly, there was a quiet tapping at the door. Madame Morrible poked her overly-powdered face in the room and called Elphaba's name. Elphaba was slightly relieved that she was being summoned by the headmistress. Now she wouldn't have the urge to stare at Fiyero all day long.
Elphaba was about to gather her books when Dr. Dillamond questioned, "Why is she being called out of my class, exactly?"
"She must prepare for the sorcery exam at the end of the semester!" was Morrible's response.
And with that, Elphaba was out the door, walking towards the sorcery room. Fiyero let out a quiet, deep sigh as she glided out of the history room. 'She even walks like an angel.' he thought to himself. He turned to see Galinda staring at him, half concerned, half annoyed. For a moment, she had a brief inkling of jealousy. 'Could he actually be interested in her?' she asked herself, but she quickly shook her head and erased all thoughts of losing Fiyero to her best friend.
-------------------------------------------
"Well, Miss Elphaba, I assume you have been studying very hard for the exam," asked Morrible once they had entered the sorcery classroom.
"Yes, Madame. Every day!" responded Elphaba.
"Well, shall we begin quizzing you?"
"Alright!"
Elphaba wasn't lying. She knew every spell, front and back, the correct pronunciation, even the translation word for word. Morrible was impressed.
"Well, since you seen well prepared, perhaps you might wish to learn another spell?" she questioned Elphaba.
"Really? Oh I would love that, Madame!" exclaimed she, eager to learn more.
"Now, I must warn you! This spell can be quite dangerous and requires one's full and undivided attention! Are you capable of the, Miss Elphaba?" asked Morrible.
"Y-yes, Madame," responded Elphaba, half-heartedly. 'How can I give something my undivided attention when the most perfect face has looked me in the eyes no more than 10 minutes ago???' Elphaba panicked in her mind.
"Alright then…" Morrible slowly chanted the new spell. The words rolled off of her tongue naturally and Elphaba became nervous. 'Whoa, this pretty complicated. What if I can't do it? What happens if I mess up?'
Before she knew it, it was her turn to try the spell. "Are you ready?" asked Morrible.
"Uh, sure."
As she began chanting, Elphaba realized that she wasn't actually nervous about the spell. It was the little voice in the back of her head that kept on playing Fiyero's perfect, soothing voice that made her whole body shiver every other split-second.
Then, just as she finished the spell, it happened. She felt a strange, tingling sensation in her hands. Morrible gasped as an ominous, black hole appeared in front of them.
"Miss Elphaba!!! I told you to give the spell your undivided attention!" Morrible chided harshly.
"I'm really sorry, Madame! But what was the spell supposed to do?"
"It was a levitation spell, but this sure isn't levitating anything!" said Morrible, now shouting over the wind that was sucking everything into the hole.
'Oh no!' Elphaba thought. 'This is all my fault! If I hadn't been thinking about Fiyero-*GASP*! Fiyero! Is he being affected by this? Or Galinda? Are they in danger because of it?'
Suddenly, Elphaba came back to reality when she felt herself being sucked into the vortex of space that had almost "eaten" the entire contents of the room, but somehow, Morrible had managed to escape, leaving her best, well her only, student in the room full of danger. It was clear she wasn't the most caring teacher in the university. As Elphaba began to fight the permeating force, she had a twinge of curiosity. 'What's inside of it? What happens if I get sucked in?' she asked herself. Almost automatically as she thought that, the force became too much and enveloped her in darkness. At first there was a falling feeling, as if she had jumped off a cliff, but then the deep, dark silence of unconsciousness.
Ooohhh!!! Suspense!!! Haha now you guys are gonna have to wait to see what happens next! Actually, to be honest, I don't know what's gonna happen myself!
