Reality

A/N: Hey everyone! I'm sorry for such a long wait. Actually, I'm studying for finals, so I'm really well...not going to be active in a while. To be honest, I just wrote this down during my free time in classes, so please enjoy my gift (can I call it a gift?) for y'all.

"Let's go, Fabala!" Nessarose called out.

"I'm getting there, Nessie." Elphaba responded as she re-checked her stuff. Frocks, check. The green vial, check. Books, check. Picture of her father...well, why'd she be needing that?

"I'll just borrow a picture from Nessa if needed." She tucked the picture under he thin mattress.

"Fabala!" Her sister called again. Elphaba rolled her eyes playfully before yelling, "I'll be there, Ms. Impatient!"


"Are you ready, Nessarose dear?" Frexspar Thropp asked his daughter sweetly. Nessa looked up and nodded excitedly. The older man then turned to Elphaba, his eyes sharp.

"You... make sure your sweet, precious sister is safe. Honestly, I don't feel like I should trust you, since you might turn my lovely Nessa into an abomination as you...but at least my eyes won't see you in a while." He snarled. Nessa winced while Elphaba looked defiantly at her father.

"Of course father." She murmured. Another moment later she was slapped. Her eyes widened with anger, though it wavered a bit.

"You have no control over me."

"I am your father, young lady." Frex snapped.

"A father who doesn't care and doesn't love... a father who doesn't call himself a father to me...yet you have control over me?" Another slap.

"Get in the carriage."


"Thank you, sir." Nessarose greeted as the driver closed the carriage. The driver saluted them before leaving.

"Finally, Shiz University." Elphaba murmured, albeit a bit dreamily. Nessarose chuckled.

"Your dream is here, Fabala." She cupped her older sister's hand. "But now, let's stay inside...it's really warm out here."

As the Thropp sisters entered the building, a really loud noise was heard: screaming. But, whose screaming?

"Over a boy...and I thought that girls were immature in high school." Elphaba rolled her eyes as Nessa giggled at the thought.

"Can we check on that, Fabala?" Nessa looked at her and pulled off a very "moving" puppy dog-eyes look. At first, Elphaba wasn't moved, for she kept a straight face. But then, she sighed and caved in.

"Oh, alright."


Fiyero Tiggular ran a hand through his hair. He was famous!

"You're famous then." He heard a girl sigh dreamily.

"Of course! When have I not been famous?" The girls swooned even more as Fiyero blew a kiss to the audience. He waved clumsily as he exited to a hallway with Avaric.

"You've made quite the impact, Tiggular." Avaric patted his back.

"Of course...I was supposed to go here a few days later, but eh... not a difference. I'll just be popular, sleep, attend one class, then repeat." He threw his book satchel across the hallway, before deciding to sit beside it.

"Well, you're not wrong there." Avaric shrugged.


Elphaba sighed as she looked at her surroundings. Somehow, she felt at home when she was alone...because she wasn't exactly welcomed when with people.

As she walked, she saw someone, someone that looked very familiar. Curious, she ran behind a tree to see who it was.

"So any plans?" Avaric asked. Fiyero shrugged.

"Probably just going to relax in.." His eyes widened as he saw an emerald woman.

"Oh my Oz."

A/N: That's basically it...sorry for the shortness...but yesh...please review? and also, can you send me something that'll make me think positively? Please! I've not being doing well that much emotionally either...damn the negative thoughts
