AN: I think I received more reviews on that last drabble than I got on the first seven together :P.

So, Failey... were your mind-reading powers working? (And were mine?)

Elphaba-WWW: yep, these ones are post-DG, while the others are still at Shiz, but without Elphie. (Didn't I mention that in my first AN? When I put the Assignment-drabble up? I might not have - I intended to, but I'm a horribly chaotic person, so sorry if I didn't :3.)


Elphaba

It had been purely coincidental that she had been sneaking by the classroom window as Professor Dolorn had explained the assignment to the students. She had come back to Shiz a few times in the past few years, to check up on Glinda and Nessa – and yes, she'd admit it, Fiyero – but her timing couldn't have been better. She sat herself down in the grass under the window and thought about the question.

A decision I regret deeply…

'Defying the Wizard' would be the obvious answer, but to be quite honest, she didn't regret that in the slightest. She only regretted the way it happened, how she had left Glinda behind. And her sister, left to take care of herself. And Fiyero, just as they had gotten to grow a bit closer…

But no. He was off limits to her. He was Glinda's boyfriend. Not to mention the fact that she was a wanted fugitive now.

She sighed. Perhaps she regretted none of her conscious decisions… but the truth remained that she left pain and destruction in her wake. She had disgraced her father, abandoned Nessa, hurt Glinda by leaving her…

Perhaps she was a wicked person after all.

When Professor Dolorn happened to walk over to the window when class was over, to close it, he found a small note on the window sill. He closed the window, picked up the paper and unfolded it. What he read there, caused a frown to appear on his face.

I regret being born.
