A/N: I DO NOT OWN WICKED, Book or musical (okay, I own a copy of the book but...) I DISCLAIM IT! OK!Galinda sat in her seat, noticing the stares she was getting. "I know you missed me, but please, this is too much." She smiled and tossed her hair. Elphaba burst out laughing, earning a death glare from Fiyero. Elphaba shut up and focused on eating the salad she had only just touched. "Elphie, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just realized I was hungry." She stuffed her face.
"About time" Galinda put her hands on her hips. "You guys were non-stop on the head of cornet bread or something silly."
"We finally came to a compromise that I was right." Fiyero shrugged.
"You are not right." Elphaba snapped.
"I am so right."
"You am so wrong!"
Simultaneously, the two witnesses were thinking, "Here they go again..."
Elphaba had to wait thirty minutes for Galinda to fall asleep, but it felt like years were going by. Years of knowing you were lying to your only friend, going against everything you live for, and for a guy! Elphaba had never sneaked out before, not once. And doing something that could get her into so much trouble? That wouldn't play well with her dad. She tiptoed to her closet and put on her frock. She wasn't going to let Fiyero mock her favorite comfy pajamas, or she's never sleep again. Putting on some sneakers, she streaked across campus, as slowly and silently as she could. She made it to the library and peered inside. It was two minutes past midnight. He should've been there already. "Boo!"
"Ah!" She screamed, a hand quickly covering her mouth.
"Hush little green baby." He hissed. "Morrible roams these halls at night." Elphaba bit his hand. "Ow!"
Elphaba put her hands on her hips. "Hush little brainless baby." She said mockingly.
"What is wrong with your teeth? Damn!"
"Shut up, and let's get this over with." She peered through the transparent wall. "How are we gonna get in?"
"Leave that to the professional." Fiyero smirked, and took out a key chain.
"Where'd you get that."
"It's free hug day in the administrators office." He shrugged casually.
"Free hug day?"
"It's a tradition in Winkie Country, okay?" He rolled his eyes. "And, voila." The door opened before them. "Yup. Fiyero Tiggular is the master locksmith."
"Ooh, sounds like a promising career, granted how many times people get locked out of their house." Elphaba immediately flushed that dream.
"You're no fun."
"You're annoying, now let's find that book." Elphaba immediately went left when Fiyero went right.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"I know this place wall to wall, and if we're going to find anything about food, it'll be in this section." Elphaba replied monotonously, already skimming covers. She grabbed a book and flipped through it. "Here it is." Fiyero stood beside her.
"Be-cause of it's cone-like shape-" He read slowly.
"Sound it out." Elphaba nodded, remembering how just a few days ago he couldn't read at all.
Choc-o-late cor-net bread is... oh, you just read this crap!" He shoved the book into her arms.
Elphaba scanned for her place. "Because of it's cone-like shape, chocolate cornet bread is labeled as the base being the thick end, the head being the thinner end, despite thee fact it is eaten the other way." She looked up and smirked. "I won."
Fiyero didn't even check for accuracy. He merely sighed and said, "I'll have your money tomorrow morning."
"That won't be necessary." Elphaba grinned evilly. "All you have to do is wear exactly what Galinda wears."
"How will I do that? I don't know where she gets her clothes." Fiyero replied coolly.
"No need to worry. She always gets a second garment for her mannequin to wear." Elphaba gave him a pleased look.
"No way."
"Hey, her clothes are just as expensive as twelve million dollars." She smirked.
"I hate you." He glared.
"Never bothered me before." She shrugged, smirking, knowing full well he had caved. Though... she wasn't exactly sure why. He could beat her black and blue (at least not green, right?). She could too, but didn't have the guts. She'd lose her only friend and be kicked out of school. Fiyero never worried about such things. What was he thinking? No, the question was, why was he thinking? Pushing those thoughts aside, she really couldn't wait for morning.
"Elphie!" Galinda's annoyingly loud voice could be heard. "You gotta help me! I can't decide what to wear!"
Elphaba's brain immediately woke up. Here's her reward money. "Let me see."
"Okay, I got these really, really cute shoes the other day, but I can't decide what dress to wear with it!" Galinda held up three dresses successfully.
"Hmm..." Which one would go better for Fiyero. "Wear the blue one." She smiled, draping it over the mannequin's head. Baby blue would go great with Fiyero's tattoos. "It'll make your eyes pop."
"Oh, you're so right! I've been rubbing off on you, Miss Elphaba." She smirked.
"And that barrette you had last night? Perfect."
"Oooh! Even better, a flowery barrette!"
"That would be marvelous!" Elphaba beamed, already in her frock from last night. Galinda went into the bathroom to change.
"I hope Fiyero notices my outfit today. He didn't last night." Galinda came out with a twirl, a pout evident in her voice.
"He will, dear. I'm sure of it." Elphaba smiled reassuringly. "Now let's go to class."
Elphaba paid no attention to Doctor Dillamond for once. She kept her eyes on the door. He was nearly five minutes late, his seat beside her getting cold. Then, plain as day, the door opened, and in grumbled the proud Prince of Winkie. Elphaba bit her lip, not being too careful, and let it bleed. She welcomed the pain in all attempts to keep her from laughing out loud. Other students weren't so silent. "Mr. Tiggular, you are forbidden to come in this room and cause a ruckus!" Doctor Dillamond snapped, knowing well what Fiyero's reputation held.
Fiyero gave him a glare. "You got something against cross-dressers? Cuz if you do, I can report you."
"No... pleas, erm, sit down." Doctor Dillamond nodded at his seat. If he was to preach on Animal rights, he should encourage his students to stand up for their beliefs
Fiyero looked at Elphaba, in all efforts to hold back murdering her. She waved sweetly and grinned. He sat down and muttered. "I hate you."
"Oh, you look pretty." She replied through giggles, well whatever Elphaba does to giggle. "You could be Galinda's twin."
"Why can't I just give you the money?"
"That would be no fun, now would it?"
"Miss Elphaba, Mr. Tiggular." Doctor Dillamond snapped. "Pay attention."
"Yes sir." Fiyero said curtly. Elphaba merely stared, not wanting to disappoint Doctor Dillamond again. "You're annoying." He muttered.
"You're no fun." She replied. Elphaba wondered exactly what Galinda was thinking of all this.
Oz knows, Galinda was thinking about it. She was wondering just why in the world her boyfriend was... dressing like her? When she saw the glare he threw Elphaba's way, she knew something was up. Her eyes widened in disbelief Elphaba didn't think the blue dress would makke her eyes pop! She thought it would make Fiyero's tattoos pop! And why Fiyero was going along with this, she had no idea. Did he... want her to break up with him? Because, that seemed pretty appealing to the blonde now. Her best friend kept a secret from her, and her boyfriend humiliated her! She wrote a very offended note and looked to the boy beside her. "Excuse me, Mr. Avaric." she batted her eyelashes. "Will you throw this to the green girl and hairy girl in the front?" Avaric, hypnotized basically, nodded. He took aim and threw it at his targets. Wow, that was an wondifferous throw." Galinda exclaimed.
"Eh, it was nothing." Avaric shrugged, blushing mildly.
"Really, you have incredibicious talent. Can I feel your arm muscles?" Nothing was stopping single girl Galinda from playing the field now.
Elphaba looked at the note and read over it three times. "What's it say?"
"I hate you both! Having a secret love affair behind my back! Well, Prince Tiggular, if you wanted me to dump you, congratulations. Signed, Galinda." Elphaba swallowed back tears. She couldn't have lost her best and only friend in the first week of school! She couldn't survive high school alone.
"Love affair?" Fiyero asked himself.
"This is no time to go on about false accusations! Galinda hates me!" Elphaba couldn't even tell she was shouting. "Ugh, and it's all your fault!"
"My fault!" Fiyero shouted now "You made me wear these clothes in the first place!" He said loudly.
"You could've said no!"
"Well I would've but I kind of owed you twelve million dollars!"
"And money's a big issue to you, isn't it?" Adopted or not, he was a prince. He had money.
"And what if it is?"
"You're such a jerk!" Elphaba turned to Galinda. "Galinda, you think we're having aa love affair behind your back? Consider him officially single." With that Elphaba walked to the door and whispered, "I'm sorry, Doctor Dillamond, but I need to go to the restroom."
Everyone was flabbergasted.
Well, here's another chappy! Hope you like a little drama. Fiyero wearing Galinda's clothes: so many fics have Elphaba wearing them (the song Popular mightt've caused such a thing) and Fiyero joking about her different look. Well, now it's backwards. And the thin end really is the head, just for those who are wondering. Also, I won't be seeing the show on Labor Day like I had intended :( so if you're there in nashville, tell me how wonderful it is. Speaking of the Wizard, we all know he's Elphie's father, but in the book, when Elphaba is two, they see a giant balloon flying through the air. :-/ which makes no sense, right? What do you think? Review it or screw it!
