Chapter Four
Elphaba didn't sleep much, and rose early; prepping for the day ahead. She laid out everything she needed, and when she was ready, called Fiyero into the room.
She took a deep breath, "Are you ready?"
He looked at her, "Do I have a choice?" he said, no humor involved.
She looked at him, and saw the fear in his crystal blue eyes, "Fiyero-"
"Fae, I'm so scared." He said, with a wry face, "What if I die, or get hurt, or-"
She cupped his face with her hands, "Fiyero, look at me. I'm not going to let that happen. You're going to be fine, nothing's going to happen to you, I promise. Alright?"
He nodded and squeezed her hand, relaxing on the floor as he lie down. "I love you, Fae."
"I love you too, Yero." She took a breath, "Drink this," she said handing him a vial of a purple liquid, "It'll put you to sleep."
He drank silently, and fell asleep within a few seconds. Elphaba put her hair back and began her chanting, which lasted for a long amount of time.
After finishing her last chant, she stepped back from Fiyero's body. She didn't know how long it would be until he woke, so she stepped out of the room to find his parents standing there.
"How did he do?" Kells said.
"Well, I don't know how long he'll be asleep, but, if it didn't work, there should be no long term affects."
"Thank you, Elphaba." Niq said, "Why don't you join us for dinner?"
"I would love to." She said, grateful for their hospitality.
The trio joined for dinner, Elphaba answering all of the pair's simple questions.
After a rather informative dinner, the pair retired, and Elphaba went to bed in a room next to where Fiyero was- determined to check on him when she woke up. She went to bed, falling asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
Fiyero woke up feeling abnormally heavy. He leaned up, feeling a headache come on, and raised his hand on his head- stopping quickly as he did.
Human skin. His brown skin on his hand, staring him in the face. Elphaba's spell had worked!
He got up, but was extremely dizzy when he stood too quickly. He shook it off, and headed to find Elphaba. He walked into the room next to his, to find her sleeping emerald figure.
He smiled at her, almost tearing up at the sight. Things were finally working out. They could get married; even start a family now.
He watched her for several minutes, and decided not to wake her. Instead, he slid into bed with her, and wrapped his arms around her.
He sighed a sigh of happiness, and looked down at her once more.
He saw a smile creep onto her face, and absorbed this blissful moment before drifting off.
