Hey y'all! This is just a short little piece since I didn't really feel like writing today. My computer broke! Well, not literally, but it may as well have! My internet and speakers aren't working for some reason, so I'm borrowing my sister's for the little time it takes to post this up. I'll try to have a new chapter up soon :) Oh, and 18 reviews? WOO! Here is your next chapter!


Evidently, Elphaba realized that he wouldn't actually have a chance to talk with her. Glinda spent every moment she could whisking Fiyero away from Elphaba or asking to talk to him privately. Lately though, Elphaba noticed that Glinda's behavior towards Fiyero was changing, almost in a sisterly fashion. Curious was an undertsatement as to what Elphaba was feeling towards this.

~XXX~

Fiyero was practically giddy about this week so far. Not only had Glinda taken their break-up well, she decided to take it upon herself to set him up with Elphaba. "You two would be so cute together!" she had said. The two would go off to talk about how they could possibly get the two of them together, despite how badly Fiyero wanted to stay with Elphaba.

But the two had to work quickly because, although the storm was still berating them after 2 days, they were running out of time.

So Glinda decided to move into action that night.

~XXX~

"ELPHIE!"

The shrill noise coming from the bottom of the stairs pierced Elphaba's ears all the way from her perch on her bed, causing her to wince. She sighed, closing her book, and walked out of her room, heading towards the source of the noise.

"What, Glinda?" she asked irritably.

"Come down here, we're going to play a game!" the pink ball of fluff responded cheerfully before bouncing into the living room.

Elphaba followed with a sigh to see Fiyero sitting by the fire with games all around him. A giggle made its way from her throat and she clamped a hand over her mouth as Fiyero looked up.

"Was that you?" he asked in disbelief.

"Of course not. I'm just observing how much you look like a child." Elphaba said, crossing her arms stubbornly.

Fiyero mimicked the movement and jut his bottom lip out. "I do not."

Another short burst of laughter escaped her lips, causing Elphaba to quickly cover her mouth with her hand, but Fiyero smiled as he pointed a finger at Elphaba. "Aha! I told you!"

Glinda spoke up at this point, clearly feeling left out and wanting to move along. "Okay then! What shall we play first?" when neither one answered, she walked over and picked up SORRY. "Here we go. Elphaba, dear, help me set it up."

~XXX~

Soon enough, Elphaba was beating both of them. Fiyero was taking it hard because it was always him that she bumped back to home. (She didn't have to worry about Glinda because the poor girl was still stuck at home.) as Elphaba sent yet another one of his pieces back to home, Fiyero huffed and said, "Can we play another game?"

Glinda nodded fiercely and Elphaba smirked. "Sore loser, Tiggular?"

"No," he sneered. "But Glinda hasn't really played yet."

"Fine," Elphaba sighed, and turned around in search for another game as Glinda put up their current one.

As soon as Elphaba's back was turned, Fiyero leaned over and whispered to Glinda, "When is this 'plan' going into action? I hate losing."

"Not yet. I'm waiting for the perfect moment,' she replied, then straightened up when Elphaba turned around.

"Alright, Monopoly anybody?"

~XXX~

Two hours later, Elphaba had nearly all of the squares and was quickly cleaning the two out. Fiyero, in the meantime, was fuming visibly.

Once more, he rolled, and once more, he landed on one of Elphaba's squares causing her to, once more, smile triumphantly. He narrowed his eyes and pushed himself away from the board game, crossing his arms and glaring in the opposite direction.

"Fiyero," Elphaba said in disbelief. Seeing that he was truly upset, Elphaba's eyebrows furrowed in concern. "Fiyero, does it really bother you that I'm winning?"

He turned farther away from her in response.

"It's just a game Fiyero, stop acting like a baby!" Elphaba scolded, standing up and placing her hands on her hips.

"Elphie…" Glinda said, her tone one of warning.

"No Glinda, he's acting ridiculous!" Elphaba gestured to Fiyero's current position.

"But still, Elphie-"

"Seriously, he needs to either stop acting childish or I'm going home – storm or no storm."

Glinda gulped. This so wasn't part of her plan. Elphaba couldn't leave yet and the two needed to stay on good terms with each other. Suddenly, a light bulb flickered on in her head. Glinda smiled to herself before standing up, grabbing both of them, and towing them towards a nearby closet. She briefly let go of them to open the door, only to shove them in and lock the door behind them.

The two stood inside the closet in shock as Glinda said, "I will not have anyone leaving this closet, or house for that matter, until the two of you are the bestest of friends…or more!"

And with that, Glinda proceeded to walk into the kitchen to get something to eat. Boy was she starving.


Hmm, so what did ya think? Just something I threw together last night during the storm over here. (Ironic, isn't it?) You know what to do from here!
