Hey everyone! I'm sooooooooo sorry I haven't updated in forever! My school play got in the way and my homework pile was growing! Then I had writers block!!!!!! It was killing me! Anywho I went to California to see Wicked over spring break (WHICH WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!) and I finally got some insparation! So here's the next chapter, enjoy!
Fiyero sat outside on the green grass, spacing out completely. He didn't notice anyone was coming until Elphaba was seated on the ground beside him.
"Hey." She said softly. "Thank you for what you said to your mother, but you shouldn't have picked me over her. As much as she bugs the crap out of me at times, she's still the woman who raised you." Fiyero rolled his eyes.
"Elphaba I'm an adult now and I don't need my mother making my desicions for me. She would have kicked you out if I hadn't said what I did."
"She just cares about you-"
"If she cared about me then she would try and understand how I feel."
"Fiyero, if someone had come up to you and told you that your only child was with the Wicked Witch-"
"Don't call yourself that! That's not who you are."
"Fiyero, you need to talk to your mother about us."
"No. She does not get a say in this relationship."
"I give up you're too stubborn!" She said exasperated. She was so cute when she was mad. He had to smile at her.
"I learned from the best." He said wrapping an arm around her. Now it was her turn to roll her eyes.
"What else are you thinking about?" She asked.
"Everything." He said simply. She had to laugh about this. "What?" He asked staring at her.
"It's just that a long time ago I never thought I'd hear you say that, Mr. Dancing Through Life."
"I'm afraid that dancing just hasn't been working recently." He smiled. Elphaba thought for a minute.
"Do you want to dance now?" He stared at her.
"Miss Elphaba Thropp wants to dance?" He asked in fake awe. "You told me you don't know how."
"Well it just so happens that when father used to throw parties for Nessa, I'd sneak in occasionly and watch them waltz. It's really not that hard to pick up on." He smiled.
"I don't know." He said. "I haven't danced in a while. I might be bad at it."
"Come on chicken" She grinned pulling him up. They got into dance position and then she looked at him with love in her eyes and began to sing.
Take my hand
Take a breath
Pull me close
And take one step
Keep your eyes
Locked on mine
And let the music be your guide.
As she continued he began to sing with her as they whirled around the grass.
Won't you promise me (Now won't you promise me)
That you'll never forget (We'll keep dancing)
To keep dancing
Wherever we go next
It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone
Like you
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling the way
We do
And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?
Suddenly Elphaba tripped over a rock.
"Whoops!" She laughed. "I'm sorry Yero but I'm just not that gracefull. Maybe we should stop before I kill someone." He smiled at her lovingly.
"You were doing great." She blushed. "Come on Fae." The nickname appearing out of no where. He began to sing again.
Take my hand
I'll take the lead
And every turn
Will be safe with me
Don't be afraid
Afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you
Through it all
Elphaba smiled at this and joined in.
And you can't keep (even a thousand miles)
Us apart (can't keep us apart)
Cause my heart (cause my heart)
Is wherever you are
It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone
Like you
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling the way
We do
And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance?
Oh,
No mountain's too high enough
Oceans too wide
Cause together or not
Our dance won't stop
Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe
That we were meant to be,
Yeah,
It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone
Like you (Like you)
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling the way
We (we do) do
And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?
They finished their dance and looked into each others eyes.
"Wow!" Elphaba sighed. "So that's why you were brainless for most of your life!" They laughed together.
