Our Summer
Three Long Hours.
OH my god! I am so sorry for not posting in ages! How are you all? Did you have a nice Christmas? I've sort of had a hectic 5 weeks! I have been stranded in places! I keep re-doing this chapter too, and it took me ages to get the right Word program to write this! My old on didn't have word count and when I uploaded it, it was only 802 words! Okay think that's me and once again sorry for not updating! Hope ya'll have a good new year!
Disclaimer: I don't own Wicked. Brother: you sure? Me: yes. Brother: ha, you'd think with your obsession you would! Me: *sighs* I wish.
P.s forgot to mention this happens just after "I'm Not That Girl."
"Excuse me Tiggular, just what in Oz's name do you think you're doing?" she spat at him as he took the suitcases out of her hand.
"Just trying to help, Thropp." He replied with that smirk that was always spread across his face, the smirk that made Elphaba week at the knees.
"I can do it myself!" she stated, matter of factly trying to reach the top shelf above their seats.
Oh this 3 hour train ride was going to be long!
"Here." Fiyero said giving it the extra push she need.
"Umm...thanks." she said and sat down in her seat sighing.
"I don't even know what's in those suitcases!" she said with a slight laugh in her words.
"What?" He asked cocking his head confused.
'You look cute when you're confused. Awk you're always cute! Then again you're always confused! What? Snap out of it Elphaba!' she thought to herself.
"Galinda sort stole all my clothes and ran into the closet with them and some sewing things. She said I'm not allowed to peek until I get to your place."
"Ah, smart move." She smirked that famous smirk. Elphabas eyes widened. "All I'm say is you need to shake it up a little Fae!"
"Whatever." She rolled her eyes and went to looking out of the window.
"Miss Galinda! Miss Galinda!" Boq yelled.
"What Bic!" Galinda said annoyed by well... his presence to be honest!
"It's Boq!" Nessa angrily stated.
"It's okay, Bic, Boq I don't mind!" he said nervously.
"Galinda will you help Boq with my chair please!" Nessa asked getting more annoyed.
"Ah Miss Thropp, we received word you would be travelling with us today. We have arranged a special carriage for you." A worker said with a nice smile.
"Can someone come with me?" she said eyes fixated on Boq.
"Sorry Miss Thropp but there's not enough room." Said the worker.
"Oh Oz! Maybe next time?" Boq said – secretly relived!
"Fine!" Nessa said sourly.
"Byeee!" Galinda shrieked.
"Yeah, bye" Boq said dreamily while looking at Galinda.
"STOP THAT!" Elphaba yelled!
"What?" Fiyero asked.
"THAT!" she yelled again.
"What?" he asked again.
"CHEATING! I can clearly see the card under this table Tiggular!"
"Me? Cheat? Never!" he said clearly offend.
"Yes," she said removing the cards from Fiyero's hand, "I'm not dumb you know!"
"Oh I know!" he said.
"I'm bored of cards now, I'm stick of losing!"
"Your cheating and STILL losing?" she laughed.
"Shut it Thropp! Anyway Galinda wants us to get to know each other, 20 questions, GO!"
"Mhhh..." Elphaba smiled. "Favorite color?"
"Oh come on! You have the brains, don't you think you could be a little more inter- intellec- inter- oh, um smarter than that?"
"That counts as one of your questions you know."
"Nope, it's your turn just now!"
"Whatever just answer it!"
"Oh, um green i would say."
Elphaba looked horrified.
"Oh, Elphie! I didn't mean it like that"
"Don't call me Elphie!" she snapped frustrated.
"Fine, then what will I call you? Falaba?"
"NO!" she shouted, causing some people to stare at her "never call me Falaba!"
"Sorry." he mumbled "Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why don't you like Falaba?" Elphaba shuddered as the Winkie Prince said the name.
"Elphaba, you can trust me you know." He said looking into her eyes.
"It reminds me of, my mother" She said.
"Oh" Fiyero said, not releasing.
"You see because I'm … green," she began taking a big breath, ready to tell Fiyero the story she had told Galinda just a few nights ago, "When my mother fell pregnant with Nessa, my father didn't want another green baby…"
"Elphaba, you don't have to tell me, if you don't want to." He said, trying to look her in the eyes but hers were fixated on the ground.
"So," she continued, "my father made her chew on milk flower every night, but that's just it you know?" looking up at Fiyero's eyes, "the milk flower made little Nessa come to early, her legs all tangled. And our mother…she..she never woke up."
"Elphaba…."
"All which wouldn't have happened if it weren't for me!" she said, throwing her hands in the air.
"Elphaba, you can't blame yourself for this," Fiyero said pulling her into a hug, "it's not your fault. Do you hear me?"
He took her but the shoulders and made her face him, she looked down but he used his fingers to tilt her head up so they looked into each other's eyes.
"Do you hear me?" he asked again. She nodded. He pulled her back into the hug.
"What's wrong with Elphaba?" she asked
"What?" he said, confused!
"Why can't you just call me Elphaba or even Thropp?"
"Oh nothing it's just I think a nickname is cute." he mumbled the last part.
"Well then Fifi," she mimicked Galinda's shrill tone making Fiyero shudder.
"Ugh," he groaned
"What?" she asked.
"I hate that name." he admitted.
"Really?" she asked, genuinely concerned.
"Yeah"
"Why don't you tell Galinda then?" she asked
"I don't want to hurt her feelings." he admitted.
"Aw, well then I will call you Yero! Glin calls you by the first part of your name, I will call by the last part of your name." she smiled.
"Do my eyes deceive me?" he said "Elphaba Thropp smiling?"
"Maybe." she asked raising her eyebrows.
"You have a beautiful smile... Fae" Elphaba's face lit up.
"Fae? Not too bad Yero."
Understatement of the year! She loved the name! Fae. It was lovely!
"Yero the Hero!" he said attempting to flex his muscles.
"Whatever makes you sleep at night!" Elphaba remarked.
"PLEASE GATHER ALL YOUR BELONGS WE WILL BE ARRIVING AT OUR DESTINATION IN 3 MINUTES!" shouted a worker up and down the train.
What do you think? Oh, and let's pretend Boq and Galinda reallly hit it off when Nessa was away!
Please review. Will gonna write the next chapter tomorrow or Sunday depends when I come home from my family's house, I'm going there for the New Year! Hope ya'll have a good one.
