CHAPTER 2
Fiyero's Musings
By C.C. Grant
I marched right back to my room, glad that Galinda was finally AWAY from me! Really, she was like a leech, always stuck on you; it was nearly impossible to get her off you!
Why can't all girls be like Elphaba? Smart, beautiful, caring, and able to fend for herself. Why would Galinda dislike Elphaba? Elphaba? Elphaba….
Oh, Elphaba, I know I don't deserve you, but please! Please! If only I had a brain, maybe I could deserve you, but until then, I'd have to let my luck take care of fate. After all, what would people think if they saw Fiyero freaking out in a hallway, with a thoughtful expression? Really, they'd have thought I'd gone mad!
Calm down, Tigular! Just keep dancing through life, right?
I saw a bunch of kids running through the halls with water balloons and thought, Hey, looks like they're after someone. I hope they get him.
Then I thought of Elphaba again.
I pondered Elphaba until I got to my dorm-room. Then, I got out my sketchpad and started to draw her. A bit obsessed, huh? Ever since I got placed against my will in that stupid Art class, I was getting better every day. I had a pretty great drawing of her when I heard a rap on my door.
I shot out of my chair and rocketed up to meet the person at the door, hoping it was Elphaba. I opened it and…there stood the green girl. Her eyes darted around, and I welcomed her, gesturing that if she'd like to sit down, she had the liberty to.
After an awkward pause, she sat. Just the moment she did, she asked, "Are those stress-relievers?" I looked up and saw where she was pointing, sure enough on my shelf; there were my various stress-relieving pills. I ran to them, and covered them with my back.
She'd already seen them, but I still tried to cover for myself. "Well, they're pills, but they're for my allergies," for dramatic effect I added a very loud, "ACHOO!"
"Allergies. Hmm, to what? Stress? What happened to, why invite stress in? Need a little help dancing through life?
I sighed and looked down. "Did you already think about my proposition? Do you have your answer?" When I saw her nod, I asked, "Well?"
She said in a dignified tone, "I've thought it over, and I've decided to accept your extremely random invitation."
YES!!! Yeah! AH-HAWH! Yes! I didn't expect—random. What? Hadn't she felt the subtle traces of attraction between us? I expected a girl so keen would have noticed.
Oh well. At least she said yes, and that was good enough for me!
We stood there is an awkward silence until she had enough sense to speak up, and say, "Well, are we a couple now? I'm new to this so I'm lost."
I scratched my head uncomfortably, and said, "Sure, do you want to be?"
"Uh...yeah! Why wouldn't I?" then I'm not sure what came over her, she just threw herself in my arms, kind of like Galinda. I blushed and pushed her gently off me, she seemed a bit uncomfortable to.
"Oh, Oz I've been hanging around Galinda too much, sorry! See you whenever!" she walked toward the door, and was about to open it when I remembered that water melted her, and there were a group of kids with water balloons outside.
"Wait, were you by chance being chased by a group with water balloons earlier?"
She stopped and said, "Yeah, why?"
"Don't go yet, I have some business to take care of. Stay here!" I walked out the door and found all of these small people standing outside of it, all holding water balloons...
"If I were you I would put those away right now," I ordered harshly. Out of shock the kids put down the water balloons and ran as if their life depended on it, was I really that intimidating? Oh well, at least Elphaba was safe. I walked back in and Elphaba seemed surprised...
"You're welcome!"
"Uh...uh...Thank you..." she walked out the door her eyes locked on me like I had just slain a dragon or something. I was just protecting my new love! New love…Elphaba. Elphaba and Fiyero. That sounded good. I went to sleep that night dreaming of her cuddled into my chest, which was the best dream ever... and that is saying something!
