Thanks for the great reviews! They are highly appreciated!
Rosie6583 I reread what I wrote and I guess I can see how Elphaba seemed out of character. I 'll work on it:)
disclaimer: I don't own Wicked or the characters.
It was spring break, and also Fiyero's birthday. Elphaba, Nessa, Boq, and Glinda met in Boq's kitchen. They were planning a surprise party for Fiyero.
"Ok, we should start with the cake." Boq took charge because "his kitchen, his rules".
Elphaba pulled the chocolate cake mix, chocolate frosting, and sprinkles out of the Oz-mart bag.
"It says we need to preheat the oven to 350 degrees ", she read.
"On it", Nessa replied as she wheeled herself to the oven.
"We need a bowl, three eggs, a baking pan, butter, one cup of water, and cooking spray", Elphaba continued to read. Boq raced around his kitchen to get these items.
"Ummm we're out of cooking spray", he informed.
"Do you have Vegetable oil?"
"Ummm... yep"
"Use that."
"Glinda, can you put the ingredients in the bowl and mix them?", Elphaba asked.
"Yes."
Glinda started walking to the counter, but she slipped on some flour that spilled and started to fall forwards, slamming into the back of Nessa's wheelchair, causing Nessa to fall out of her chair. Boq turned around,startled.
"What just happened? Are you both okay?", he asked in a panic.
"I think so", Nessa replied. "But I'm going to need some help getting back into my chair".
Glinda's response was different.
"No! I just broke a heel!"
Elphaba rolled her eyes and helped Nessa back into the chair.
"Um... Nessa, I don't think we have room in the kitchen for your chair... Do you want to work on decorations? My mother has this weird craft room that she would probably let you use if you don't make a mess...", Boq said.
Elphaba burst out laughing. "Nessa? Not making a mess?", she exclaimed while cackling.
Nessa glared at her sister.
Boq ignored Elphaba. "It's down the hallway on your right."
Nessa nodded.
Glinda recovered and threw all the ingredients in a bowl. Elphaba suddenly remembered last time she baked with Glinda.
"Uh, Glinda, did you crack the eggs?"
Glinda hastily removed the eggs from the bowl.
"Yep!"
Glinda began smacking the egg against the bowl.
"Do you want me to try?", Elphaba screamed, stopping Glinda.
Glinda daintily opened the egg shell, pouring the contents into the bowl.
"Nope."
20 minutes later, the cake was in the oven.
"I'll go check on Nessa", Glinda said.
Nessa actually didn't make a big mess, just a few drawers were open and some crumpled paper was on the floor. She was finishing the "Y" for a happy birthday banner.
"Finished!", she said a few minutes later.
"Do you want me to help clean up?", Glinda asked the younger girl.
"Sure!", Nessa chirped.
About 40 minutes later, Elphaba and Boq were hanging the banner, Nessa was frosting the cake, and Glinda was tidying up the house. A knock was heard at the door.
"It's Fiyero!", Glinda whisper yelled.
"But I'm not done frosting the cake!", Nessa wailed.
"Too late! Everyone hide!", Elphaba cried.
"Wait, so what do you need from Boq's house?", Fiyero asked Averic.
"Uh, I need to pick up my...shirt", Averic said.
"Why in Oz is your shirt at Boq's house?"
Unable to think of an answer, Averic replied "Long story."
They parked outside Boq's house, got out of the car, and Averic knocked on the door.
The door opened.
"Surprise!"
Fiyero shrieked in a high pitched voice. Elphaba stepped out.
"Relax, brainless. Happy Birthday!", Elphaba said, kissing Fiyero on the cheek.
There was a crash as the banner fell.
"Whoops."
