Okay, yes; the end of this chapter sounds like the end, but it's not! I assure you there is more story to come :D Does anybody want to perform 'For Good' with me? (must be willing to sing Glinda's part) none of my friends will do it with me :(. Tonight was my schools ball, I didn't go though, lol. At first none of my friends were either and my mum couldn't afford it so, meh! lol, rather write stories for you lot :)

Elphaba'sGirl: :O am I on it at the moment?

The Wizard Of Wicked: Hmmm, since it happens this chapter I'll say it :) it was a prompt you gave me before I started writing this story ^.^ I think you know what it is now, but hey :P and no this isn't the last, I love how you know my usual chapter limit though :P

"I still don't see how this will work" Melena said grudgingly as Glinda applied make up to her face

"You always feel better when you're all dressed up" Dorothy replied with a smile "remember every time Liir would annoy you, when we were little, we'd go and put on mums clothes and not let him join in"

Melena chuckled "Yeah, I remember"

"Et voila!" Glinda smiled as she turned Melena around to observe her reflection "what do you think?"

Melena lifted her hand to her face, she couldn't believe that was her "How did you-" Melena began in astonishment

Glinda smiled "Well, the natural beauty was already there. All I had to do was enhance it"

Melena's eyes stayed fixated on the mirror as she examined the way her curls framed her face, how the red made her lips pop "Right" Dorothy began "go get your dress on, then meet me in the garden. It's time to party!"

...

"Do?" Melena asked, sticking her head out the door into the garden area. She must still be getting ready. Not surprising, she hadn't even gotten her make up done when she had left and she naturally took a long time to prepare herself. Melena noticed how crisp the air was as she stepped outside, not quite enough to need a jacket but enough to notice. She walked down the stairs, hearing the sound of the door locking behind her. Her head snapped around in panic, seeing Dorothy at the door; waving and wearing sweat pants. "Mel" she heard behind her "I think we need to talk"

Melena turned slowly, coming face to face with Rikla. He was wearing the same suit he had the day they became a couple, complete with top hat. She couldn't help but grin as she noticed how small the garments had become on him "You idiot!" she chuckled "you know that suit doesn't fit you anymore"

Liir smiled, he was glad to see Melena happy again, especially if it was around him. He looked down at his attire "Well, it got you the first time" he giggled "I thought it was worth a shot"

Melena's face suddenly became serious "Rikla, no. You know I-"

Rikla lay his finger on her lips to quieten her "Shhhh" he began "let me do the talking this time" Melena was silent, not uttering one word as she was lead deeper into the garden. When they arrived to the centre of the garden, Rikla clapped his hands causing millions of fairy lights to turn on, they emanated the table and chairs with a single rose in a vase in the middle "Votre tableau pour ce soir mademoiselle" Rikla smiled as he saw Melena's eyes start to glow with awe

Melena was almost speechless "Rikla, I-"

"Shhh, my turn remember" he said, grabbing her hand and leading her to the table, pulling the seat out for her to sit down. "Melena, I am in love with you" he began, sitting down in the chair opposite hers "I truly believe you are my soul mate. We've been together six years now; not exactly a short amount of time. Never have I asked you for anything sexual. Not even once."

"I know, that's not wh-"

Rikla raised his index finger, signalling for Melena to be quiet "Look, I don't know what made you think I was being suppressed in any way" he began "but I want you to know this; I would rather stand by your side forever and have complete abstinence than have sex with every girl in Oz. I am in love with you Melena Tigulaar, nothing will ever change that"

Melena wiped away the tears that had sprung to her eyes "What if you change your mind?" she sniffed "what if, one day, I'm no longer good enough for you?"

Rikla's eyes widened, he had not expected her to say that! "Melena, every morning I have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming that I'm with the perfect woman. The last few days have felt like some kind of nightmare. I should be the one who's worrying whether I'm good enough, not you!" Melena smiled as she let out what sounded like a half laugh, half cry; tears now pouring from her eyes. "That's why I would like to ask you something" Rikla smiled, standing. A large rip was heard as he knelt down on one knee, sending both into hysterics. When the laughter died down, Rikla looked lovingly into Melena's eyes "Melena Rose Tiggular; would you do me the honou-" Rikla's speech was cut short as the evening sprinklers turned on, drenching the two. The two returned to hysterics, dripping from head to toe "Melena, will you marry me?"

Melena beamed at the boy "Yes, yes, a million times yes!" she screamed, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him deeply. Mascara was running down her face, but she didn't care. All she cared about in that moment was being with the man she loved.
