How do you cool your lips
After a summer's kiss
How do you rid the sweat
After the body bliss
How do you turn your eyes
From the romantic glare
How do you block the sound
Of a voice you'd know anywhere
How do you numb your skin
After the warmest touch
How do you slow your blood
After the body rush
How do you free your soul
After you've found a friend
How do you teach your heart
It's a crime to fall in love again

Flashback.

Fiyero turned surveying the scene surrounding him. The sensuality in the place was enough to rouse the dead. Elphaba was draped over the leather sofa, her eyes unfocused, her dress in disarray and revealing far more cleavage than he knew she would've liked. Drunkenly his grin widened as he sauntered over to her. The music began to slow as the lights dimmed and an middle aged dwarf looked from him over to where the green girl lay, a dirty grin making its way onto his face.

"What on earth ?" The prince garbled deliriously sauntering up to the two.
"Easy, this wasn't anything to do with me. I just found her wandering amongst the tables sampling every colored drink she could find!" The dwarf spat grabbing the intoxicated girls arms, attempting to stand her up.
"Fiyerrrrro!" She squealed, freeing herself from the supportive grip and flinging herself at the Arjiki. "Missed you … where'd you go?" she asked clueless looking up at him with big brown eyes; looking at the very least, innocent.
Drawing an arm around her waist, physically holding her upright, Fiyero started heading for the door. "Elphaba, what have you been doing all this time?"
"Partying!" came the slurred reply.
"You're drunk!" he accused almost happily.

"So are you!" She shouted falling into his chest. In response his grin widened. For indeed, they were both so very drunk. Their visions were becoming blurred as they all too willingly, together, headed back to his dorm room.

She stumble down the path away from his arms, tripping on the curb and expecting to fall flat on her face, before realizing that Fiyero had caught her by the waste. Looking up at him sweetly, she burst out of his arms flinging herself around.

"Bwa-hahaha! Fiyerooo you are my HERO…" She yelled as he grabbed her arm and yanked her inside the boys dormitory building. Glancing around the corner, making sure that there was no one around he slipped her into his room.

Stupidly making his way to his closet, Fiyero pulled out a dark green bottle, taking a slug out of it and turned to face the girl who was now sitting slouched over on the stool beside his desk.

"Yero my hero!" She spluttered out as he approached and pressed the opening to the bottle to her lips. "What're you-"

"Shhh…" He said soothingly, pressing a finger to her lips. Quirking her head to the side she looked up at him wide-eyed. Those blue diamonds were really starting to become appealing…

She let him sit down on the bed beside her and make some jokes which she normally wouldn't have thought funny and found herself laughing so hard that she couldn't sit up straight. Infact, she was laughing so hard she slipped off the other side of the stool.

And this time, she was too drunk to even have a chance to right herself.

"Ow."

Bending down to her level Fiyero tilted her chin upwards. "You alright?" He asked locking eyes with her. Finding it impossible to look away, she just stared, suddenly unsure of why she was here. The moonlight seemed to be reflecting off her skin as the stars danced in her eyes.

She really was quite stunning… A breath catching in his throat, he placed a hand around the side of her head.

Before she could process what was happening, Fiyero's mouth was pressed against hers and she was pressed against the bed. Little bursts of hot air from her parted lips tickled his ear during every flick of his tongue up her neck and across her chin to her lips. If he could make her as disoriented and confused as he felt, he would be able to stay in control. She seemed to be going back and fourth from the world of reality and intoxication.

"Wait- Fiyero," She slurred almost coming to, forcing him to look up from her neck. "Galin-"

He quickly cut her off with is lips again. She went to move away again to his disappointment.

"Bu- this, Yero- is wrong. Galinda she-" With a growl, he ground his hips against her, wanting her to feel his desire throbbing with the need for her. He wanted to punish her for the craving she made him feel. She made him weak with want. Danger lay in weakness. Weakness led to heartache.

"Shh. No tell me what you want. Nothing else matters."

"But your girlfriend-"

"No," he replied shaking his head, "you have to tell me what you want."

With her pupils dilated, she took on a wild, intense look, before her lips quickly met his again.

"K-Kiss me."

The words sounded like they were dragged through clenched teeth, but Fiyero heard what he needed. His mouth found hers with a fierceness he couldn't contain. Teeth clashed and bit. Lips suckled and nipped. The need to possess her, completely, drove him. He raised his head to see her face. She barely noticed her dress being tossed to the floor.

The change in her caused his power to shift toward her again. Hair tangled around the pillows beneath her head, her green skin flushed with excitement. Delicate hands clutched his upper arms to pull him closer. Soft, feminine hips arched into his. The pathetic green girl had disappeared and Elphaba had emerged. Her fear and reservations had evaporated for the moment into pure hedonistic desire. Fiyero stopped, sitting up undoing the buttons on his pants.

"…Yero my hero…

…Fae…"

No, her mind, body and soul, wouldn't be enough. He wanted her heart.

She was sitting on the wooden bench, her back to him, looking out over the pond. Baby greenfinches and blackbirds came regularly to bathe and many species of birds drank from the cool refreshing waters. The pond was even visited at night by local badgers and foxes, which to Elphaba, were the only real friends she'd ever have. He hadn't meant to say it; it just had slipped out. He was only trying to be a friend.

"Elphaba come on, say something to me." Boq said sitting down beside her, only to have her get up and walk away.

"I don't know what there is to say; Boq!" She spat as he tried to keep up with her. "You seem to like creating awkward situations for me."

"Elphie," He was whining now, "I was just trying to help! I wasn't thinking-" She turned around to face him, eyes blazing.

"No in hell you weren't thinking! How could you do that to me? I know that there are low people out there but this, Boq that was probably about the lowest thing anyone could of done!"

"I was only trying to help!"

"Help? Help?" She was furious now and only seemed to be getting angrier. "How does making me look like some slut, help me!" She stalked across the grass and sat down on a large rock that looked out over a valley. " Thanks to you, Glinda thinks I'm insane and secretly in love with you, Nessa thinks I'm demon possessed and only trying to hurt her, and the whole school thinks a slept with a Munchkin! And Fiyero-" She sighed exasperated. Oh sweet Oz- Fiyero. She looked away ashamed. What in Oz was she going to do? "He probably thinks I'm some whore going around trying to sleep with every other guy."

Boq watched her burry her head in her knees and put a comforting arm on her shoulder, noticing her expression when she had said every other guy.

"Elphie I-" He glanced upward unsure of what would be the right thing to say to the green girl. "I never, never meant to hurt you. Please I really was only trying to help." She glanced upwards locking eyes with her childhood friend.

"I know Boq. I know."

Glinda raised a hand to her temple as Nessarose cried hysterically into a Kleenex. Sure she could see the girls point; it wasn't everyday that your sister slept with your crush, but honestly this was getting out of hand.

"How-how, c-could she do that to me!" Nessarose cried angrily as Glinda paced the courtyard franticly. Elphaba had stormed out after Boq had told everyone that he was the father and hadn't been seen since. Everyone had reacted differently; she herself had just stood there in a silenced shock. Fiyero on the other hand, looked like he was about to collapse. Poor sweet Fiyero; he always did care a great deal for her friends. " I don't understand! She was my sister!"

"Oh Nessa don't cry! You know Elphie is always going to be your sister!" The blonde said patting the back of the girl reassuringly. Nessarose's only response was to burst out into tears again.

He was furious. Boq? Boq! Who did she think she was? Did she just think that she could go running around; sleeping with ever damn guy out there, without anyone noticing? Without anyone caring? Fiyero made his way down the path, unaware of where he was going and not caring the least. He needed to shake of the excess energy, let whatever rage had seemed to be consuming him, escape. His head was pounding and his breathing rapid. How dare she. How dare that little bastard do this to her. But why should he care? Why should he look out for her? Something inside of him had changed and he had been a fool to believe it was because of her. Some stupid green aberrant of a person. He hated her. He hated her and never cared if he ever saw her again. He sucked in a breath as he spotted Glinda trying to console a trembling Nessarose across a field. Glinda. She was everything a girlfriend should be. She was everything he needed. Some immature witch wasn't going to change that.

A form down the path slowly caught his attention. Boq. Suddenly, emotions started to flare inside of him. Frustration, mostly; even a bit of anger; and an incredible despair. The mix seemed to conglomerate somewhere in his chest, making breathing difficult. Before he knew what hit him the munchkin was trying his best to walk past him; unnoticed.

"So where you off to now Boq?" He said, backing the boy of the path. "Off to fuck Elphaba again?"

Boqs eyes widened with suddenly a knew found fear. Fiyero couldn't be-

"You fucking bastard!" Before he could process what was about to happen, Boq fell to the ground clutching the side of his face.

"You got her fucking pregnant!" Boq rolled out of the way, avoiding the kick in the side that was aimed for him. Suddenly something inside him seemed to snap. Leaping up off the ground he punched the Arjiki in the face.

Nessarose noticing the commotion, shrieked as Glinda began to rush to her boyfriends side.

Fiyero lunged at the Munchkin; eyes glazed. He was going to kill him. "You little-"

Just as he was about to strike a voice cut through the air.

"What the hell is going on!?" Elphaba cried violently as everyone turned to look at her.

"He started it!" Boq hissed as Glinda held Fiyero back by the arms.

"Elphie honestly I have no idea what's gotten into them!" Glinda said trying her best to maintain a struggling Fiyero.

"He started to freaking attack me!" Boq yelled horrified. "I didn't even do anything!"

Fiyero's eyes flashed.

"Didn't do anything? What do you mean you didn't do anything! I think you've done quite a lot!"

"Fiyero!" Glinda's voice pierced the air as she traumatized, began to fan her face with her hands, attempting to calm down. "Calm down. It was an accident." Nessarose looked like she was going to faint.

Elphaba suddenly froze. She couldn't do this. She couldn't keep this from them.

"He was only trying to help me! Boq has nothing to do with this!"

"What? Elphie-"Glinda looked concernedly at her roommate. "We understand that this is going to be diffi-"

"No Glinda! You don't understand!" Elphaba was growing desperate. "Boq's not the father."

Time stopped as the blonde looked from the munchkin back to her friend. Suddenly fear began to grow inside of her. "What are you talking about?"

"Elphaba of course he's the father! I mean who else-" Nessarose stopped in her tracks as she locked eyes on Fiyero. He couldn't be- "I don't understand."

Elphaba swallowed before looking her sister straight in the eyes.

"Boq only said he was to protect me. He was trying to help; and he wasn't thinking straight."

Boqs gaze shifted downward at her last statement. Glinda's eyes grew wide as she looked at Elphaba now more scared then confused. "If Boqs not the father then who-"

Taking a breath in Elphaba turned to Fiyero unable to withstand eye contact for more then a second.

"What? Fiyero- Elphie? I- What? Your joking. Your tricking me now," Glinda said forcing out a laugh. "Your kidding your not serious! He wouldn't do that to me!"

"Glinda I never meant for it to happen!" Elphaba said franticly. Glinda stopped suddenly and just looked from Elphaba to Fiyero and back to Elphaba again; realization flooding her.

"No, no no no no! Not him! Not him!" Tears were now streaking down the blondes face as she began to back away mortified. " I hate you! I hate you!"

"Glinda wait!" Elphaba's voice cracked as she called after the retreating form of the blonde. A unearthly silenced filled the group.

"Never have I been more disgraced. Never have I been so ashamed to call you my sister!" Nessarose was fuming as she backed away, the chair scrapping against the concrete. "You're- your a curse!"

"Nessie!'' Elphaba's eyes were starting to tear up again. "Nessa Stop!" The girl turned around suddenly and reached up and slapped her sister across the face. Fire in her eyes, Nessarose headed away; leaving a dejected and hurt girl in her wake. Trembling Elphaba glanced around her, terrified. Unable to stand Fiyero's blank stare and Boqs shocked expression she raced away; wanting to hide herself form the world and her life.

Hours had passed, tears had been shed. A burning sensation lingered on her cheeks as she solemnly stared out the widow of the Library. She had ruined everything. She had ruined her life. She should die. She didn't deserve to live. A cold hand slapped gripped her shoulder, sending chills up her spine.

"Why miss Elphaba, what are you doing here, so very alone?" Morrible's smile seemed to have something more behind it. Something bloodcurdling a bone chilling. Suddenly very afraid, Elphaba looked up petrified into the eyes of the headmistress.

"I-I-"

"I have a letter for you Miss Elphaba. From the Wizard," The smile only seemed to grow as handed a envelope to the green girl. "He wishes to meet with you, Miss Elphaba." A toothy grin was plastered onto the old woman's face as her eyes bored into the young girls, as if trying to see into her very soul.

"I-I don't understand. Why would he-"

"All in good time Miss Elphaba. All in Good time." And with that Morrible walked away. "I just trust that your little situation won't affect you." Too much.

The moonlight shone down as Elphaba slowly made her way to the train station, bedraggled and bag less. She hadn't returned to her dormitory. She hadn't even said goodbye to her sister. She had simply waited until it got dark and ran to the train station. She didn't even hire a carriage. She needed a new life. She couldn't stay here. Alone and disconsolate she stepped onto the train; leaving her old life behind, for good.
