Sorry for the wait guys, you won't belive how much coursework and stress I've been through the last 10 days or so. AAAAARGH! On the plus side though, I have started work on a second Wicked/Harry Potter story, and it'll be called "Oh, Shiz!", AND it'll include Shell! Can you guess what pairing it will be: It will not be a Fiyeraba, Bessa or Gelphie, it'll be a less popular pairing (because we need various different pairings on the site and I support multiple pairings) and one of the characters is book-exclusive. And it's not slash. C'mon, have a guess! Anyway I'd like to thank ElianaMargalit, Leia Emerblaze, werewolf-in-training, owlhead777, erised-is-desire (Loving your username BTW!) and whatthepho for reviewing Chapter 2! I never expected so many reviews, but thanks guys! *Virtual hug* whatthepho you are partly right with your guess, I will reveal the mirror's purpose later in the story for everyone who's not familiar with Harry Potter. Anywhom, time to see what Fiyero sees in the mirror (besides his charming reflection).
- Sharky Chapter 3
"Fiyero! Fifi! Wake up!", Galinda rattled on the door impatiently.
"Galinda!" Elphaba shushed, chuclking to herself privately, "you do realise that there are other boys in there? And Fifi?!"
"It's cute, don't you think?" Elphaba sighed under her breath as Galinda continued to knock on the door, and eventually, kick it. "FIFI! WAKE UP!"
On the other side of the door, Fiyero mumbled to himself, before opening his eyes quickly. He then realised what had woken him up. "Wha? Galinda, my sweet, I know you love me, but even a Winkie Prince needs his beauty sleep, you know." He closed his eyes again, trying to get back to sleep.
"Fifi!" whined Galinda. "Please? We have to show you something! It's a mirror!"
Fiyero rolled his eyes. "A mirror? Seriously? I'm a guy, I don't take interest in clothes, or make-up, or..."
"No, it predicts the future! You've gotta come see it, me and Elphie have both seen it and it really does show our futures!"
"Oh alright then," Fiyero sighed. "But if that mirror shows me nothing more than my reflection, I swear I'm going to roll your best dress around in crude oil!", he laughed teasingly.
"Sounds like a good plan to me," Elphaba laughed in agreement.
"I beg your pardon, Miss Elphaba," said Galinda, "What was that I just heard?"
"Oh, nothing!" Elphaba giggled to herself.
A few minutes later, Fiyero had dressed and once again they were hunting for the room with the mirror in. Having been there twice, Elphaba seemed to know the way by now, and continuing to stay alert for patrolling teachers, led the others inside.
"Look, there it is, Fiyero," she indicated the mirror. "Look and see for yourself."
Fiyero looked at his reflection. Indeed, the mirror did predict the future. He saw himself at least five years older than he was now. Thankfully, from what he saw in his reflection, he hadn't become King of the Vinkus like his parents had strictly intended. It was then that he saw something that made his eyes widen and his heart soar. A woman approached him, but the Fiyero outside of the mirror couldn't see her face. She handed the Fiyero in the mirror a baby, most likely theirs, before putting her arm around him. He kissed her, before pushing back her midnight black hair, revealing emerald green skin. Fiyero had ended up with Elphaba! And they had started a family together!
"What do you see, Fiyero?" Elphaba asked him.
Should he tell her? No, that would be too dangerous. For one thing, Elphaba had no idea that Fiyero had feelings for her. Plus Galinda, his girlfriend, Elphaba's best friend, was also there.
"Fiyero?"
"Fifi?"
If he said anything, Fiyero would dread what would come next. He would not only be breaking Galinda's heart, but all three of their hearts. Galinda and Elphaba had developed a very strong friendship over the past few months, and seeing them apart ripped Fiyero's heart in two. Of course, he could always lie and say he saw something completely different... but would that affect his future?
"Fiyero?"
"I... I have to go."
And with that, he ran out of the room, not taking another look back, leaving both girls puzzled. They too left the room and made their way back to the dormitory, settling down in their beds.
"Elphie?"
"Yes, Galinda?"
"Do you think that mirror really does show the future?"
"I think so," Elphaba replied. "it seems promising enough. I can't wait to meet the Wizard and finally I'll be just like..." She then noticed Galinda giving her a glare that said 'remember what I said'. "Oh. Sorry." Galinda smiled. "But I hear sometimes the future doesn't turn out exactly as you planned it would."
"Maybe that's why Fiyero ran out of the room," Galinda sighed. "He's always said how much he wants to be free, how he doesn't want to be the stupid King of the Vinkus. But hopefully things will turn out fine for us, right Elphie?"
"I hope so," said Elphaba, yawning. "Galinda?"
"Hmm?"
"Thanks for what you said earlier, it means a lot."
"No problem. Night."
"Goodnight."
The two girls exchanged smiles before immediately dropping off to sleep. Had either of them looked out of the window, they would have seen a mysterious figure make its way into the room with the mirror, before awaiting its fate.
Hope you enjoyed! Chapter 4 up ASAP.
