Fiyero couldn't sleep the entire night. He didn't sit next to Fae last night at dinner. He was afraid that he would smile at her or something. And she didn't look at him either.

Elphaba had to tell Fiyero how she felt, it was driving her crazy. She tried to refrain from looking at him at dinner last night. She just glanced at him once, when he was looking at something behind him.

They planned to meet each other in the garden. They were both very nervous, maybe more so than the first time they planned to meet.

The two practically ran to the garden.

And there she was, Fiyero was so anxious. What if Glinda was wrong. She couldn't be wrong, could she?

"Hey Fae." He said nonchalantly, yet nervously.

"Hey Yero." She replied the same way.

"Do you want to sit down?" He asked, gesturing to a stone bench.

She smiled and nodded. "Sure."
They sat in silence for a while. Fiyero face-palmed himself in his head. This was so awkward. Why hadn't he ever felt this way about a girl before?

"Well this is nice." Fiyero spoke awkwardly. Elphaba just chuckled.

"What's wrong with us?" She questioned.

"I don't know. But we need to stop whatever it is." Fiyero suggested.

"I agree." Elphaba spoke.

"How are you." He started.

"I'm, good. How about you?"

"Good. Thanks." He nodded and smiled. This was terrible.

They laughed again. Fiyero loved Elphaba's laugh. Most girls just would sound like a high pitch dolphin, thinking it was cute. But Elphaba's laugh, it was real. She would giggle really loud and it didn't sound annoying. It sounded beautiful.

"Fae, it's been almost a month since we uh, since we met." He started.

"Yes it has." She agreed.

"Do you like it here Fae, I mean really like it here?" He wondered,

She had to think for a second. About a month ago she hated the thought of going to some castle on the other side of Oz, but now she didn't really want to leave. Not because of the fancy rooms or the service, but because Fiyero was here. The truth was that she wouldn't mind going anywhere with him.

"Yes." She finally said. Fiyero smiled at her, he was overjoyed that she said she liked it here.

"That's..good..that's really good." He shook his head apprehensively. Fiyero looked at her eyes. He could spend hours looking at her beautiful eyes. She smiled at him. That smile of hers could bright up a room.

He looked at her eyes again, she was looking back at him. He put a gentle smile on his face. Fiyero put a strand of her soft raven hair behind her ear. She was so beautiful.

Something came over Fiyero, he had never felt so alive before, like he was complete. He leaned closer to her and put his lips against hers, something he'd been longing to do. Not really realizing what he was doing. When he looked back up, he saw a stunned Fae.

It finally came to him, he kissed Elphaba. What had he done!?

"Elphaba, I-ah, I don't know what came over me. Oh Elphaba I'm so sorry." He tried to apologize for probably just ruining their friendship.

"Fiyero-." She tried to say something, but Fiyero cut her off.

"Oh I'm a failure. If I could just learn to control myself. Elphaba I really am sorry. Stupid, stupid , stupid!" Fiyero started to smack his forehead repeatedly.

"Fiyero!" Elphaba grabbed his hand away from his head. He looked at her, wondering why she was stopping him.

"Yero stop apologizing." She told him.

"But I kissed you!" He spoke nervously.

"But I liked it." She smiled.

He was shocked. 'She liked it? She liked it. She liked it!' He kept thinking. She liked him. Fiyero had a big grin on his face now.

"Fae can I tell you a secret?" He asked. His brain was no where to be found.

"Anything." Fae assured him. She liked how he could trust her, and she could trust him.

"I love you." Fiyero confessed. He almost regretted it but Elphaba started to smile.

"I love you too." She looked up at him. The way she said that made Fiyero want her to say those four words over and over, so he could remember her saying that forever.

'I'm in love.' Fiyero thought. 'I'm in love with the most beautiful, most smartest, funniest girl in the universe.' He kept thinking. 'And she loves me back.'

Fiyero and Elphaba walked in the palace holding hands. They wanted everyone to know that they actually were together. By their choice this time.

Glinda was walking by, but her eyes were fixated on her sparkly pink sequin covered shoes.

'When we don't want her to look, she looks, and when we want her to look, she doesn't!' Fiyero thought to himself.

"Hem hem." Yero acted like he was coughing up something. Finally Glinda looked up.

"You okay Fifi?" Glin asked, a tad bit concerned.

"Never better." He said annoyed.

"Wait a second. Are you two... Holding hands?" She asked, already excited.

Elphaba smiled a little and nodded.

"Awwwwwww!" She exclaimed. Brining them both in for a group hug.

The couple giggled a little.

"This is too cute! You two are so perfect for each other!" She shrieked in their ears.

"Thanks Glinda." Elphaba said for her and Fiyero.

"Oh please, call me Glin!" She exclaimed.

"Okay, Glin." Fae said, uncomfortable.

"Can I call you Elphie?" Glinda wondered.

"Um.. Sure." Elphaba didn't want her to though. It sounded too ...perky.

"Yay!" She squealed.

"We gotta go, we're gonna spread the news some more." Yero said as he and Fae walked out.

Glinda sighed, and went back to her own home.

Glinda was lying on her bed, tears starting to form in her eyes.

The truth was that, she really did like Fiyero. She liked him a lot actually, maybe even loved him. He just dated so many girls though. She kept telling herself that he's saving the best for last,her being the best. But it was obvious that he loved Elphaba. It broke her heart.

"Fifi." Glinda whimpered. Tears started to roll down her cheeks. She wanted him to be hers. It was so unfair. She knew Fiyero since he was ten. She knows everything about him. She was prettier, she wasn't... Green.

"I've lost him to an artichoke." She whined, then cried more. She lost all the tears she had in her after a while.

She stood up to look herself in the mirror."It's okay Glinda." She told herself as she wiped some tears off her face. "You can still have him." She smiled confident. "You just have to get rid of the artichoke." Glinda let out a small evil sounding laugh.

'And I know just how to do it.'
