Author's Note: I don't own anything except Fierah.

The next morning, Fierah went for a refreshing walk. She didn't want to tell anyone where she was going and she didn't want to be bothered. The sun was shining and the birds were singing their morning songs of joy and of life. Fierah felt so free to walk amongst the people. She would stop and smile and talk to the people. People were genuinely surprised by how nice she was. She was a bit shy though at first.

Fierah was walking along and suddenly she felt someone tap her shoulder. She paused and then she turned to see Chistery walking behind her. He had a note in his hand and he looked at it before handing it to her. "What's this Chistery?" asked Fierah.

Chistery looked up at Fierah and he said, "For you."

Fierah raised a brow as she opened the letter and she read over the letter. Her smiled faded and morphed into a horrified expression. "Oh no," she panicked, "No, no, no."

"What does-it-"

Fierah took off faster than she could fly on her broom. Her heart was racing and it felt like it was beating out of her chest. Her ran all the way back to the castle and burst through the doors. Glinda and Elphaba were having some sort of baked pastry and they dropped theirs at the same time. "Fierah? Are you all right?" Elphaba ran over to her daughter hugging her.

"Did someone hurt you?" asked Glinda.

Fierah was on the verge of tears as she cried, "Glinda I need the grimmary!"

"Why, what's wrong?" Glinda worried.

"The man I love is in danger and he needs my help."

Glinda and Elphaba looked at each other and then back at Fierah. "The man you love?" repeated Glinda and Elphaba.

"Please," sobbed Fierah, "He needs my help."

"What's wrong with him?" asked Elphaba searching for answers.

"Forget that Elphie, tell us who he is Fierah! Tell us!" begged Glinda.

"I need you to promise me that you won't get angry," whispered Fierah as she nervously wrapped her fingers.

"Just tell us."

"Mother, Glinda, I'm in love with Boq."

"WHAT?" roared Elphaba.

Glinda gasped, "How is that possible? He's dead! He was evil! He tried to kill your mother! Your father!"

"Please, let me explain," Fierah pleaded.

"Wait until I tell your father! He will be furious!"

"Mother, please listen to me."

Elphaba sat down, crossed her arms, and glared and Glinda giggled as she sat down and clapped her hands.

"Many years ago, when I was little, I would wander far from home and I would explore the world. I wanted to see what the world looked like. I wanted to travel to distant lands and see other cultures. I felt like I was a caged beast. One night, I ran into a man made of tin. It was a night, on a cold fall morning."

"I remember that night," Elphaba interjected, "I came into your room to check on you and I found that you were missing."

Fierah nodded as she continued, "I was so fascinated by him and I thought he was beautiful. So every night for years, I would come to Oz and I would wait for him. He would meet me in the field and we would spend time together. Over the years he and I became close. The whole time I kept my identity a secret from him. I knew that if he found out who I really was, he would come after my family."

"Go on," urged Glinda.

"As time went by, he and I became closer and closer. Until one night, he told me that he was falling in love with me. I knew in my heart that I loved him too and I couldn't keep my identity a secret from him that much longer. The truth had to be revealed. So I told him who I really was."

"Oh my goodness! Go on!" Glinda giggled as Elphaba rolled her eyes.

"He told me that night that it didn't matter who my family was. He was in love with me and would accept me for who I truly was. We couldn't keep our love a secret forever. Unfortunately, the day he and I were going to come forth with our relationship was the day that you were captured Mom."

"I see," said Elphaba.

"That night when I went to go meet Boq, I told him what happened with you and Dad. At the time, he was working for you Glinda. But he had to pretend that he was still loyal to Madame Morrible once he found out what happened. He was going to help me find you. We pretended that we didn't have a relationship because we wanted to wait until it was safe."

"We saw him die though!" Glinda and Elphaba commented.

"He didn't die. I used a vanishing spell so he would disappear. We wanted to make it look like he had been destroyed in front of Madame Morrible and The Wizard in case something went wrong. We had planned to meet up later and figure out some sort of plan."

Elphaba smiled at her daughter. "You sound just like me when I was your age."

Fierah looked at her mother and tears spilt down her eyes as she continued, "He didn't show up last night. I was waiting for him in the garden. Today I received a note from him and apparently he was attacked by a lion of some sort. I don't know how to save him."

"Do you know where he is?" asked Glinda.

Fierah looked at Glinda and whispered, "He's waiting for me, in the field, and he doesn't have much time."

"Give her the grimmary and save him," came the voice of Fiyero, "I'm not one for stopping the course of true love."

"I agree with my husband. Glinda, give her the grimmary."

"Chistery!" called Glinda, "Bring me the grimmary!"

A broken hearted Chistery came into the room. He had heard everything that was said and his heart was broken. He had cried and his face was tear stained. He handed the book to Glinda dejectedly and walked past Elphaba and Fiyero. Chistery came up to Fierah and he shook his head. He reached up to touch her face one last time. "Beautiful," he whispered.

"I'm sorry Chistery," whispered Fierah, "It just wouldn't work out between us. I'm a human and you're a monkey. I will always have a special place for you in my heart."

Chistery smiled at Fierah and said, "And you shall always be in mine."

Glinda handed Fierah the grimmary and Fierah was on her way to save Boq.
