A/N: Here's the next scene/chapter.

[The scene changes as faint dance music and clapping from off-stage are heard.]

[Enter FIYERO from left]

FIYERO: Oz what did that maid say, third door to the right? There's no door here! (runs right)

[Enter ELPHABA from right]

ELPHABA: I'm late! Frex is going to kill me! (runs left)

(The two collide center-stage)

FIYERO: Oh sweet Oz, I am so sorry.

ELPHABA: Don't worry about it. I'm the one who wasn't watching where she was going.

(FIYERO extends a hand to ELPHABA)

FIYERO: Let me help you up.

[When their hands connect, they jerk them apart, as though shocked. ELPHABA pulls herself up. An awkward silence lingers.]

FIYERO: You wouldn't happen to know where the ballroom is do you? I really want to see the debutantes.

(ELPHABA mock-bows to FIYERO)

ELPHABA: Well, part of your wish has come true. I am one of the debutantes for this evening.

(FIYERO mock-bows back)

FIYERO: It is a pleasure to meet a debutante of your beauty and grace.

(ELPHABA lightly blushes, giving a purplish tint to her cheeks.)

ELPHABA: Thank you. Don't you notice something…unusual?

(FIYERO looks over ELPHABA. He sees her bright chocolate eyes, her beautiful dark blue dress and her dainty white shoes. He finally notices her emerald skin)

FIYERO: Hmm…your eyes are brown?

ELPHABA: Your either being mean or stupid I can't tell which.

FIYERO: Ooh! Thanks!

ELPHABA: I'm sorry, it's just…I'm used to people making…comments about my skin.

FIYERO: I think it's beautiful

ELPHABA: Thank you. Let's get going, my father is going to kill me if I don't get there in time. (They walk off stage as the scene changes again)

[An oak door is now shown]

ELPHABA: This is where I come in. I know this will sound stupid but could you please be my escort?

FIYERO: I would be delighted.

[As the door opens the stage turns and a large group of people are on the other side]

DOORKEEPER: Introducing Miss Elphaba Thropp and Master Fiyero Tiggular.

FIYERO(turns to ELPHABA): You're Elphaba Thropp?

ELPHABA(turns to FIYERO): You're Fiyero Tiggular?

BOTH: YOU'RE MY FIANCE?
