In Center Munchkinland, Fiyero and Elvira were walking around the various blocks, looking at some of the architecture and culture in the town. It was the biggest town in all of Munchkinland, which meant that it was the grandest place in all of the general state, although walking down it was like walking down a cute little village sometimes. There were the happy peddlers, the sad peddlers, the fortune tellers, and the frauds, as well as the city folk.
"Well isn't that strange." Elvira gasped as they walked through the square. It was an overcast day, sure, but that didn't mean that the people stopped decorating for the big festival at the end of the week.
Every person in the town it seemed, as long as they could walk, was helping somehow. Whether it was carrying around some duct tape and letting people take pieces of pre-ripped duct tape off of their backs, or standing on ladders to tape up banners and stuff, no one was idle. Except for maybe the old Nanny watching the small children, as it was their nap time. That being said, they weren't doing anything really useful.
"Well, don't just stand there young man. Grab a ladder and start hanging things up, or setting up the stage!" Yelled an elderly lady who looked as if she had been in every situation possible and if you contradicted her, she would eat you alive. Fiyero looked at his mom, and his mom told him to start working. It would be good publicity, instead of the bad publicity.
Elphaba and Coralie were walking through town, Elphaba carrying a bag of hers that she would get some food for and she had a cd in it for Nessa that she had made really fast. Neither of them really wanted to leave the house, but getting to see Nessa gave it a whole new meaning. Plus, Elphaba did love her sister, and she wanted her to know that. Little did they both expect to bump into Elvira and Fiyero in town square preparing for the festival at the end of the week? Of course, the meeting was a total fluke of nature because Elphaba had managed to walk into Elvira.
"Oh, hello Elphaba. Are you going to go and see Nessa?"
"That's the plan, and so I decided to take Coralie with me because someday she might have to do the same for her reckless brother." Elphaba glanced at the tree where Fiyero had lodged himself, holding a pair of scissors in one hand, duct tape in the other, and a psychotic grin on his face.
"Actually, Elphaba, I think I'll stay here with my mom and help her get this festival set up. I bet Fiyero would go with you if you like though." At the mention of his name, Fiyero swung out of the tree with the skill of a hippo, nearly stabbing himself with the scissors.
"Good going!" someone who was nearly injured yelled at him.
"Sorry!" Fiyero said, running towards the happy people. "I heard my name."
"Yes you did, Fiyero we want you to go visit Nessa with Elphaba. Make sure you come home for supper." Elvira said, and Elphaba started walking, blue headphones lodged in her head. Catching up to her, she held out a blue earphone, hoping for him to take it.
"What's this for?"
"You usually put it in your ear and listen to music."
"I knew that I'm afraid of what music you are listening to though."
"Fiyero, the coward. That would make some pretty good newspaper headlines. Fine, be a chicken, but I'm going to visit my sister." Shutting up and deciding that he loved her so much to try something new, he put in the earphone. Suddenly the song 'Moves like Jagger' was playing. Instead of walking to the hospital together, they stopped and started dancing to it. Elphaba had really good taste in music if she listened to songs like 'La Vie Boheme' and 'Moves like Jagger'.
Once at the hospital, ten minutes later, a nurse had escorted them into Nessa's room. She was opposing being stuck in the hospital because she was supposedly okay and fine and all that. No one was buying that bull, so she remained. Especially if Nessa was complaining about stomach cramps and swelling in her hands the way she was. It seemed as if she never shut up about it. Being the good sister she was Elphaba started playing the cd off of a small radio that she had brought with her. It wasn't too big, but it was perfect for Nessa, who didn't listen to much music.
"I made you a cd, and made sure all your favourite songs were on it."
"Including 'Brighter Than the Sun'?" Elphaba sighed, and Fiyero went to sit down in one of the chairs.
"Even that song. Now the Doctor wanted to talk with me about some of your tests, so do you think that Fiyero can keep you company?" Both of them nodded, and didn't directly respond. The songs flicked through Fiyero's brain faster than possible, it seemed. He studied the floor of the room, looking at the white tiling that had probably been scrubbed to the point of perfection. Nessa was the first to break the awkward silence.
"Fiyero, do you think that Elphaba likes you?" Fiyero was taken aback by this question. Why was her sister, of all people, asking him this question?
"I sure hope so." He murmured, only loud enough for Nessa to hear. She beamed with pride.
"Don't worry, she does. I was in the same carriage as her when we travelled and she was mentally giddy about having you spend two weeks here." When Elphaba came back she was in a worse mood than when she left, and it seemed the courage of her convictions was leaking when Nessa asked what was wrong.
"Nothing. I have to go and cook supper now. Bye Nessa." Elphaba managed to choke out before going out into the streets and start her way home. Fiyero ran out after her, noticing how dark it was outside.
"Bad news on Nessa?" he asked, noticing that she was pulling out her Ioz and unlocking it. She did something strange then, she touched the 'Romance' playlist.
"Yes. I just can't believe it." Without any warning, she started crying, but it was obvious she was trying not to. Elphaba was trying hard to be the role model for her little sister, who had little for a mother. It was hard work for her, and so the two spent the way back to the house becoming friends, and Fiyero tried to console Elphaba. It was just about as romantic as her playlist.
