A/N: Wow 10 reviews and I'm only on chapter 4?! Wow…just wow!
Elphaba walked into their train compartment, carrying Greyln's bag and her own in her hands. She stumbled but caught herself before she hit the ground. She muttered curses under her breath as she placed the bag into the cubby above Greyln. She sat next to the blonde girl but frowned when she saw her playing with that silly necklace. "Stop doing that and sit up straight. You're a princess."
Greyln huffed and slouched more with her arms crossed. "How do you know what princesses do and don't?" she ask the green girl a little annoyed.
Elphaba smiled smugly. "I make it my business to know. Look I'm just trying to help you." Across from them, Fiyero scoffed and rolled his eyes behind his book which went unnoticed by the two women.
Greyln sat up. "Do you think I'm a princess?" she asked Elphaba.
"Of course I do." She replied confidently.
The blonde snapped her head to her. "Then don't boss me around." She said before turning her head to the window.
Elphaba slumped against the seat in defeat as her friend chuckled. "She seems to have a mind of her own, Fae."
"Which is the worst quality about her…" she muttered but Greyln stuck her tongue out at her before Elphaba turned her head towards her. Fiyero smiled to himself before he went back to his book.
An hour later, it was just the two women in the compartment. Elphaba sat across from Greyln who was reading with hands folded. "Look, I just think we got off on the wrong foot."
"I think we did too but I greatly appreciate you apologize." She said without looking up from her book.
"Apologize? I wasn't apologizing, I was just…" the green girl tried to explain.
"Just don't talk anymore, ok? It just upsets me." The blonde interrupted her as she put her book down.
"Fine. I'll stop talking if you do." Elphaba snapped.
"Fine." A silence fell between the two for a total of five seconds before Greyln spoke up, "So are you going to miss it?"
"Miss what, your talking?"
"No! Gillikin Country." She said as she motioned a hand to the scenery passing by.
Elphaba snickered. "Nope."
"But wasn't it your home?"
"It was simply a place I just lived, end of story." She said trying to end the conversation.
"Well then maybe the Emerald City will be your true home."
"What the hell is it with you and homes?" Elphaba asked as she put her legs up on the other seat.
"Well for a normal person, it's what they want!" Greyln stood up and tried to get past the green girl's legs by pushing on them but she didn't succeed so she walked on the seat. "Also it's a place you…"
"Where you what?" Elphaba half-yelled.
"Just forget it! Ugh!" the blonde groaned in annoyance. Just then Fiyero walked in, "Oh thank Lurline it's you. Please remove her from my sight!" not knowing that Elphaba was mocking her.
Fiyero frowned at his friend. "What did you do now, Fae?"
Elphaba turned to face him. "Me?! It's her fault!" she screamed as she pointed at the blonde.
Greyln snorted before walking out of the train compartment and head to her right. Fiyero smiled as the green woman crossed her arms." Ah, I see…an unspoken attraction…" he muttered.
Elphaba's eyes flared up. "Attraction?! To her?! Are you insane?!" she complained as she walked out and went the opposite Greyln did.
Fiyero sighed to himself as he walked out to see the train. He walked around for 10 minutes before stopping by an older couple with his blue passport out. "Last year, the passports were blue but they changed them to green."
The con man looked scared as he rushed past them to his train compartment. He walked in and saw Elphaba reading a book and Greyln sleeping soundly on the seat. "Fae, we need to hide before the guard finds us. The passports are green now!"
"Green?! Damn it…Take your bag and meet us in the baggage car." Fiyero nodded and did as his friend told him. Elphaba walked over to the blonde and started shaking her, not seeing a glowing green bat fly by. "Hey, wake up."
Greyln's hand shot up as she awoken and hit Elphaba on the nose, causing her to fall back on the seat. "Oh sorry I thought you were…" she looked over and saw the green woman holding her nose in pain. "Oh it's just you...well that's fine then."
Elphaba growled under her breath before picking up her bag. "Come on, we need to go." She said shortly as she walked out of the room.
"Go? Go where?" Greyln asked as she followed.
Elphaba ignored her as she clutched her nose. "I think you broke it!" she exclaimed causing Greyln to roll her eyes as the two walked into the baggage car. "Ah, yes. This will do very nicely."
Fiyero, who had his jacket on, rubbed his arms. "She will freeze in here!"
Elphaba smiled a somewhat evil smile. "She can thaw when we get there."
"The baggage car? Is there something wrong with our passports, Elphaba?" she asked smirking.
The green girl fakes a smile as she tried to think of a good excuse. "Oh of course not your highness. I just did not want to be forced to spend time with all those common people." Sudden the train jarred as the car they were in was disconnected by a mysterious explosion causing Elphaba and Greyln to fall on each other on the ground. "What the hell was that?!"
"I don't know…but the dining car is gone!" Fiyero said in despair as he watched the car get farther and farther away.
The two women struggled against each other. "Get off me!" the blonde yelled.
Elphaba, who was pinned under her, struggled. "I'm trying!" Legs flailed as they fought to get free, causing their legs to hit against each other.
"Uhhh Fae?" the young man called to his friend when he saw flames rising from the engine.
"What?!" the green woman asked as she held her leg in pain.
"I think our engine is on fire!"
Elphaba cursed as she threw off her jacket. "I'll go check it out." She said as she jumped onto the coal car and walked slowly towards the engine. When she jumped in, flames were flickering all around. "Ahh, is there anyone here?!" she called out. She looked at the heat pressure. When it rose, flames blew at Elphaba.
"We're going too fast!" Greyln exclaimed as the train picked up speed dramatically.
Elphaba jumped down in front of them. "No one is driving the train! We must jump!" she said as she slid the side door open.
"Jump?!" the blonde said as the two women looked down. "After you then!"
"Fine then we shall uncouple the cars." The green woman said as she ran to unconnect their car from the others but unknown by her, they were melted together. She looked down and started to hit it with a hammer.
Greyln was looking around when she saw a box marked "Dynamite" in red letters. She smiled to herself and walked towards it.
The hammer in Elphaba's hand broke and she threw the handle away. "I something better than this!" the blonde handed her a lit stick of Dynamite. "Uh that will work…" she said as she placed the dynamite in and run to hide with her friend and the blonde behind some crates.
The dynamite exploded leaving a hole in the train car. Elphaba pulled off her coat and tried to pat down the flames as she commanded her friend to turn the brake but the man broke the wheel off. "Opps." He muttered as smile sheepishly at his green friend.
Elphaba huffed but put on a smile. "Don't worry I'm sure we will…just coast to a stop."
"Um think again, Fae." Fiyero said as he pointed at the broken track. Her head turned towards where he was pointing and her eyes widened up.
After getting over the shock, the green girl started cursing as she looked for something to stop the train. She smiled in triumph when she found a chain with a hook on it. "Fiyero help me with this!" she demanded as she dragged the chain to the back of the car. Fiyero was nowhere to be found though. When the train jarred, he tripped and fell into an open crate.
Elphaba hung from the end of the car with hand stretched out. "Hand me the chain." She said, hoping to see Fiyero above her but to her dismay, she saw Greyln. "Not you dammit."
"Sorry, Fiyero's busy at the moment." The blonde smirked down at the green woman with the chain in her hand.
Elphaba rolled her eyes and took the chain from her. She wrapped it around the bottom and made sure it was good and tight. As she tried to pull herself back up, her grip slipped causing her to cry out in surprise. She waited for the pain but a hand grabbed hers and lifted her up bring her face to face with the blonde. They both got lost in their eyes before a thump jarred them out.
Greyln lifted Elphaba back up with a blush on her face. Elphaba cleared her throat in embarrassment as she knelt down and pushed the chain off. She watched as the hook caught on to the track, she hoped that it would stop the train but instead the track was pulled up with the hook. "Shit! Guys get your coats on! We're jumping now." She ordered the other two.
They did as she said and when they were ready; they picked up their luggage and stood at the end. "Well," the blonde said as she looped her arms through the other two's. They jumped into the powdery snow just in time because the train fell into the ravine and exploded.
Elphaba winced in pain as the snow on her cheek melted and left a burn mark. She stood up and dusted more of the snow off, causing more burns on her hand but she hid her hand when she saw Greyln get up.
"Well, that was fun." She said to the green woman.
Elphaba scoffed. "Yeah a real joy…come on let's get going." She said miserably as she walked ahead of them leaving Greyln wondering how one person could be so spiteful. She sighed to herself as she and Fiyero followed her. They ended up at an old cottage, where Elphaba started a fire as Fiyero slept.
Greyln shivered as she rubbed her arms as she sat by the fire. Suddenly a jacket was on her shoulders. She looked behind her and saw Elphaba standing there. "May I sit?" she asked politely. Greyln nodded, shocked as the green woman sat next to her, staring into the fire.
Greyln looked at her and her eyes widened as she saw a red burn on the girl's cheek. "Elphaba, what happened?" she said as she touched the burn softly.
Elphaba winced and touched the blonde's hand. "It's nothing…" she said quietly as she looked into the blonde's blue eyes.
Greyln blushed and looked down at their joined hands. More red marks on her hands. "Elphie please tell me what happened. You're hurt."
The dark-haired woman sighed and opened her mouth to explain but stopped when she heard with the blonde called her. "What did you call me?"
The blonde blushed again. "I called you Elphie. It's my nickname for you. Can I call you that?"
"Um…it's kind of perky for me." Elphaba saw the sad look in the blonde's eyes. "Well, if you want, you can call me that…" she said unsure.
Greyln smiled. "Really? Oh thank you Elphie!" and in an instant she was serious again. "Now tell me what happened."
Elphaba explained everything about her allergy to water. After she was done, she saw the confused look in the blonde's eyes. "You understand?"
"Yes I understand but how do you keep clean then without taking a bath or shower?" she asked as her nose wrinkled in disgust at the thought of not bathing.
Elphaba let out a cackle. "No you have the wrong idea. I use oils as substitutes for the showering."
The blonde breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank Oz." she said as she laid her head on the green girl's shoulder, causing her to tense up. "What's wrong?" she asked innocently.
Elphaba shook her head and wrapped and arm around the blonde's shoulder. "Nothing at all…" she looked down at the girl and saw she was asleep. Elphaba smiled and covered them both with a blanket as she drifted into a sleep.
Meanwhile, Morrible was watching them with her crystal ball. "They escaped?! Damn then!" she yelled. Suddenly an evil smile spread across her face and she let out a soft cackle. "They wish to defy death? Then I will really make them pay!"
A/N: Omg I'm sorry this is so late. School has been a bitch. Please forgive me. I'll do anything!
