Hello, all you awesome people in Fanfiction land! Yes, it is I, Nia. ExoticPeachBlossom isn't feeling well, so I'm writing this week's chapter. Major props if you know where I got the chapter title!

The Wizard Of Wicked: Yes, let the Fiyeraba begin! I LOVE FIYERABA!

Elphabalover101: IKR! But we had to. Fiyeraba was waiting to happen. We're sorry, Galinda! Here, have a pink cupcake to make it all better. *Gives Galinda a pink cupcake to make it all better*

NellytheActress: OMO, Nelly, THAT'S THE POINT OF USELESS INFORMATION!

Elphaba'sGirl: Ah, Fiyeraba! And Nanny does need to get a life. Elphaba's going to be stuck being called "little frog" by Nanny for the rest of her life. And Elphaba doesn't "hate" Nanny per say, but… it's a love/hate relationship between them.

Doglover645: Here's more!

Chanty420: LOL! Thank you for taking the time to respond to all the facts! Megan really appreciates that!


Galinda woke up the next morning feeling refreshed and renewed. Sitting up in her bed, she stretched up towards the ceiling. She looked over at Elphaba, who was beginning to awaken from her slumber. Smiling, the blonde jumped out of her bed and rushed over to her.

Elphaba slowly opened her eyes and pushed herself up. Giggling, Galinda gently took the green girl's hand and brought it to her cheek. Elphaba's fingers traced over Galinda's soft features and she smiled. 'Good morning, Galinda.'

'Good morning, Elphie. How did you sleep last night?' Galinda asked, brushing a few strands of raven hair behind Elphaba's ear.

Elphaba giggled softly. 'Fine. Did you sleep well?'

'Better than I have in weeks.' Galinda paused. She didn't have a nightmare last night. She slept through the night peacefully. She ran to her mirror and realized her pimples and bags were gone. "YES!" she shouted, fist pumping the air and doing a little happy dance. A whimper and she turned around, seeing Elphaba sitting on the edge of her bed, her hand blindly sweeping through the air. "Oops! Sorry, Elphie," she apologized, hurrying back to the emerald girl.

'You're excited this morning.' Elphaba smiled when she felt Galinda intertwined her fingers with hers.

'I am excited.' Galinda signed proudly.

'I'm glad, my friend. Is Nanny awake?'

Galinda turned around and heard loud snores coming from Nanny's bedroom. 'No, she's still sleeping.'

Elphaba smirked as she slowly got up and walked over to her dresser. Feeling her fingers bump against the smooth, hard wood, she opened the top drawer and pulled out her underclothes, navy blue uniform polo and skirt. She was about to make her way to the bathroom when hands clutching her arm stopped her.

'Do you need any help?' she felt the blonde sign into her hand.

'I'm fine for now. Where's the bathroom?'

Galinda gently guided her friend to the bathroom. 'Are you sure you don't…'

'I'm fine. Really.'

Nodding, Galinda watched as her roommate disappeared into the bathroom. She heard the sound of water running and splashing and Elphaba emerged a few minutes later, washed and wearing a long, white slip. Galinda quickly took her hand and squeezed it.

'Can you help me with my uniform?' Elphaba asked shyly.

Galinda giggled. 'Of course, Elphie.' She gently guided the emerald girl back to her bed. She grabbed the polo and handed it to Elphaba, who quickly slipped it over her head. She helped Elphaba into her skirt next. The blonde ran to Elphaba's closet and grabbed her jacket. Hurrying back to her roommate, she helped Elphaba slid her arms into the sleeves of her jacket. The blonde moved to assist Elphaba with the buttons, but Elphaba gently pushed her hands away. Galinda watched in silence as Elphaba's fingers manipulated the buttons into their proper slots. Once Elphaba finished with the buttons, she turned around, her arms stretched out in front of her, and walked back to her dresser. Her fingers scanned the dresser top, searching for something. Her fingers bumped into her hairbrush and she smiled. Galinda slowly approached the emerald girl and placed her hand on her shoulder. Turning to where Galinda was standing, Elphaba gently took her hand. 'And my hair?'

'Sure.' Galinda guided Elphaba back to her bed and helped her sit down. She then proceeded to bounce onto the bed behind her, slightly startling Elphaba. Galinda took the brush from Elphaba's hands and began to brush her hair.

"You have really pretty hair," the blonde whispered as she ran the brush through Elphaba's long hair. She became lost in her own world as she continued to brush Elphaba's hair, admiring its beauty. She snapped out of it when she felt Elphaba lightly, but impatiently, patting her leg. "Sorry," she quickly apologized. She quickly finished up with Elphaba's hair. Jumping off the bed, she ran around to examine her work from the front. Elphaba tilted her head to the side, wondering what the blonde was doing. She reached out her hand, and when she felt the blonde pat it reassuringly, she slowly relaxed.

Snapping her fingers in realization, Galinda skipped to her vanity and pulled out a silver headband. She hurried back to Elphaba and placed the headband in her hair. Elphaba's hand rose and she followed the curve of the headband. Giggling, she reached for Galinda's hand. 'Thank you.'

'My pleasure, Elphie. Let's get to class.' Taking Elphaba's arm more gently than she did the last time, Galinda escorted her best friend to their classes.


"I just can't believe it," Pfannee whispered to Millie and ShenShen during lunch. They watched from the next table over from where Galinda, Fiyero, Boq, Nessa and Elphaba were sitting. Elphaba sat in between Fiyero and Nessa, calmly eating her salad. Galinda sat next to Fiyero, casting sad glances at him every once in a while. Fiyero smiled as he watched Elphaba eat, occasionally wiping away little droplets of dressing from the corners of her mouth with his finger, causing the green girl to blush and giggle. Boq sat next to Nessa, occasionally casting shy glances up at the younger Thropp.

"Poor Galinda," Millie whispered.

"I can't believe the Crowned Prince of the Vinkus is falling for the blind, deaf artichoke," ShenShen muttered.

"He should be falling in love with Galinda," Millie said.

"We're going to have to fix this, girls," Pfannee said.

"How?" ShenShen questioned.

Pfannee smirked as she pulled a tomato out of her bag.

"You wouldn't," Millie gasped, secretly hoping she would.

Cackling, Pfannee waited until neither Galinda, Boq, Nessa, nor Fiyero were looking at the green girl and quickly hurled the tomato at Elphaba.

Elphaba gasped as something made contact with her face and dripped down onto her uniform.

"Fabala!" Nessa gasped, jumping up to help her sister.

Fiyero grabbed a napkin and began to gently wipe the tomato from Elphaba's face. Galinda dipped her napkin in her glass of water and went to work on Elphaba's skirt.

"This tomato stain is going to take for-ever to come out," Galinda huffed.

Nessa looked up, daring the person low enough to throw tomatoes at her poor, helpless sister to reveal themselves. Snarling, she laid eyes on Pfannee, Millie and ShenShen, whose hands were covering their mouths, trying to conceal their laughter.

She was about to go over to them and give them a few pieces of her mind when an arm stopped her. She turned around to see Boq, his eyes full of care and understanding.

"Boq," Nessa said sternly.

"Let them be. They'll get what's coming to them. There's really no use in adding to the fire," Boq said gently.

"Wow, Boq. That was… deep," Nessa smiled.

"T-Thanks," Boq blushed.

"Fae," Fiyero whispered, kissing Elphaba's emerald cheek.

Tears sprang into Elphaba's chocolate eyes. Whimpering and shaking, she clung to Fiyero's arm.

"It's okay," Fiyero whispered soothingly, tenderly stroking her hair.

Galinda couldn't help but feel jealous over Fiyero's treatment of Elphaba. He should be mine, she thought. She watched as Nessa and Fiyero helped Elphaba to her feet and led her to get cleaned up.

Galinda laid her head down on the table and silently cried.

"We need to get Galinda and Fiyero back together," Millie said in a hushed whisper.

"How?" ShenShen asked.

"Well, if we're going to get them back together, first we have to get rid of Miss Elphaba," Pfannee smirked. "And I know just how to do it."


Fiyero had taken Elphaba out to the café that evening to make up for lunch. Elphaba was a little jumpy at first, which was completely understandable to the Prince. He tenderly stroked the back of her hand, trying to reassure her that everything would be alright and they ended up having a wonderful evening together.

'Thank you for tonight, Yero. I had a wonderful time.' Elphaba signed as Fiyero led her back to her dorm.

'Anytime, Fae.' Fiyero smiled, kissing her forehead.

'I just...'

'What?'

Elphaba slowly turned towards Fiyero. 'What... what hit me in the face today at lunch?'

Fiyero paused. He hadn't expected that question. Well... maybe he had, just not at that particular moment.

'Yero?'

'A... tomato.' Fiyero finally signed.

'Oh.'

'Fae, don't worry about it. Everything's taken care of now.' Fiyero planted a delicate kiss on Elphaba's forehead, hoping that would be the end of the conversation.

'Who was it?'

Oz, the universe just loves proving me wrong, Fiyero thought. 'No one. Please don't worry about it, Fae. Nessa, Galinda and I will take care of it.'

'O-Okay.'

Smiling, Fiyero knocked three times on the door. Galinda opened it a few seconds later and smiled.

"Goodnight, Galinda," Fiyero smiled, giving Elphaba a goodnight kiss and waving to the blonde over his shoulder as he made his way back to his room.

"Night," Galinda half smiled, leading Elphaba into the room. As soon as they sat down on the bed, Elphaba told Galinda all about her first date with Fiyero; how he took her to the café and talked her into trying their strawberry cake.

Strawberry cake, Galinda thought. That's the type of cake he shared with me at the party. That's our special cake. The blonde tried her best not to show her true feelings.

I want him back, she silently thought as she drifted off to sleep that night.
