Quietly Fiyero entered the bedroom that his love was staying in and sat beside her sleeping form on the bed. Elphaba slowly opened her eyes to

find Fiyero kissing her cheek. Her lips crept into a small smile as she sighed contently. Fiyero looked at her with love in his eyes.

"What?" Elphaba asked.

"Huh?" Fiyero said looking like he'd just snapped out of a trance.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Elphaba said laughing softly. Fiyero sighed and held her to him tighter.

"I've just missed being able to hold you and actually feel you." Guiltiness entered Elphaba's mind and she pulled away. Fiyero looked at her

surprised.

"Fae, what is it? Did I say something wrong?" He looked so cute when he was worried and that just seemed to make Elphaba love him even

more.

"No it' just that.... you shouldn't of had to go through that, and I just want you to know I'm sorry." Fiyero opened his mouth to argue but Elphaba

put a finger to his lips.

"Do you ever let anyone else talk?" She said with a hint of a smile. "I know that you and I have discussed this before, and I'm sorry I keep

bringing it up. I promise you that I'm trying though. In fact that is the last time I'll say anything." Fiyero kissed the finger that was still placed over

his mouth and sighed.

"And another thing," Elphaba sighed. "I'm sorry about what happened with your mother yesterday. I shouldn't have reacted that way. I was

angry.

"On the contrary I am jealous that you got to yell at her like that. I think it might have actually gotten through to her a little bit."

"Never the less, I'll try to behave.... sort of." Fiyero chuckled.

"Have I ever told you how much I love you Elphaba Thropp?"

"Hmmm..." Elphaba smiled "It seems to have slipped my mind. Maybe you should refresh my memory."

"With pleasure." Fiyero grinned. His arms circled her waste and gently pulled her forward into a soft kiss. They broke apart and held each other.

"So are you ready to go out there yet?" Fiyero asked seriously.

Arola woke up feeling a bit better. Now that she was thinking rationally she knew that she was of course right about everything. She was now

working on Mission: Get Rid of the Green Girl. The only problem was because of her headache it had taken her forever to just come up with that

title! Now she had to actually find a way to get rid of Elph-No! She refused to call her by name! All that really mattered was for Arola to get her

son to come to his senses. Arola poured herself some tea as Fiyero walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning Mother!" He said cheerfully. He stopped when he realized Elphaba wasn't behind him like she was a few seconds ago.

"Uh one second." He went back into the living room and a minute later he walked in holding the hand of a very uncomfortable looking Elphaba.

"Good morning." She mumbled. Arola simply gave a sharp nod in her direction and concentrated on her tea cup. Fiyero looked at the two women

and took a deep breath.

"You know we all kind of started off wrong. Why don't we at least try to act like mature adults and make this work?" Arola refused to look up and

Elphaba found a nice little corner to stare at. Fiyero sighed again.

"Look, is this really worth it? You're both wonderful woman and if you had been introduced properly I know you would have gotten along."

Elphaba looked at him for a second and then walked over to Arola.

"He's right. I'm sorry about all of the rude things I've said to you. It was disrespectful and I'll try to refrain from getting angry." Arola jerked her

head up and sneered.

"Yes just suck up to Fiyero so he can't see the witch you are. You may have him fooled but not me girl! Now you listen to me and you listen well, I

will do everything in my power to get you out of this house and away from my son!" She knocked her chair over as she stood abruptly and left

outside to the garden leaving an amused Elphaba and an open mouthed Fiyero. Finally he cleared his throat.

"Well that went better than I thought it would." Fiyero squeaked. "Breakfast?" He turned to look at Elphaba but found himself alone.

Arola stomped through the garden mumbling to herself, not yet noticing Elphaba racing to catch up with her.

"Madam Tiggular." No response. "Madam Tiggular, would you just hold on a minute!" Arola turned around as Elphaba skidded to a halt.

"Do you enjoy ruining people's days?" She snapped. Elphaba took a few minutes to compose herself and calm down the comebacks that were

now entering her head.

"Madam Tiggular, I know that you don't like me at all, and you know that I wish I was gone away from you as much as you do, but for Fiyero's

sake can we at least act like we can get along around him and grow up? He's been through so much already and he really doesn't need this right

now."

"If you really loved him then you'd leave!" Arola growled.

"And if you really loved him you would just accept the fact that I'm not going anywhere as long as he wants me with him!" Elphaba said

exasperated. Arola folded her arms.

"I know that you think I'm wicked and I know there is nothing you'd like more than to see me gone, but right now is not the time to battle this

out. Your son is human and happy again! Isn't that enough for you right now?" Arola was silent. Finally Elphaba just left.
