The next day, Fiyero was walking down to the West building, carrying Galinda's shoes from last night. He had decided that he would give them to her before History class.

But when he got to the building, something was definitely wrong. Everyone who should have been in class was standing or sitting on the grass outside the building. There was an ambulance and a police car parked outside as well, and the doorway was taped off.

Confused, Fiyero walked up to the group and tried to catch a glimpse of Elphaba or Galinda. This wasn't too hard, and eventually he was walking over to the green girl.

"Hey, Elphaba. What…what happened?"

Elphaba closed her eyes and turned away, hugging her arms around herself.

Galinda, who had obviously been crying, turned to face Fiyero.

"I-It's Doctor Dillamond."

"Well, I-Is he okay?"

"He's dead."

Fiyero blanched, processing what Galinda had just said.

"Wait…what? H-How?"

Elphaba shook her head, clenching her jaw.

"…I-It wasn't an accident, I can tell you that much."

"…What do you mean?"

Just then, Madam Morrible addressed the group of students.

"Students, a terrible tragedy has befallen us. Your beloved professor is dead, but through no fault of anyone else. A minor slip-up with a glass slide and a microscope. It was a horrible accident, one that none of us could have prevented. Now, all of you that would otherwise have class in the West building will be taking a day off. I assure you that we will have this whole…mess cleaned up soon enough."

Soon the students began filing off the grass and began walking back to their dorms.

Elphaba turned to Fiyero and Galinda, gripping the strap of her bag.

"I-I'm heading back to the dorms." She said, turning and walking away.

Once she was gone, Fiyero turned to Galinda.

"Is Elphaba okay?"

Galinda looked up at him.

"I-I don't know, Fifi. You know, when we all walked into class, Elphie was the only one who didn't cry or cringe or pass out or anything. She just stood there."

"…What did she mean by "It wasn't an accident"?"

"How should I know?" Galinda said, watching Elphaba.

"Umm…Fiyero?"

"Yeah?"

"…I don't think Elphie's heading back to the dorms."

Sure enough, Elphaba was heading off-campus, in the direction of downtown.

Fiyero looked over at her.

"Should we follow her?"

"Uh, you can follow her. I think I'm going to head back to the dorm. Bye." She hugged him, before taking her shoes and walking back to the dorm.

Fiyero watched her leave, then started off in the direction of downtown. He had a feeling that he knew exactly where Elphaba was going.


Umm...yeah...review? *holds out plate of cookies*
