Ahh! An update! It is an epiphany! I'm so sorry, but with the combination of writer's block and laziness, this story has not moved much this summer. That's okay. School starts in two weeks. Once I have other things to do, I'll need something to procrastinate with :
Enjoy.

...okayyyyyy, for some reason i can't draw the cool line thingy, so this will have to do...

Fiyero

As soon as he returned from the hospital wing, he flopped onto his bed and wanted to cry. He didn't know what was going on, or what Lurline was trying to tell him, but he was beginning to not be able to handle what was going on anymore. Right before he found Boq and Glinda, he was planning on searching for Elphaba. He couldn't leave now, not when Glinda and Boq needed him…could he?

Well, he argued with himself, Glinda and Boq were about to be expelled. Perhaps he could leave with them, and find Elphaba along the way.

He walked over into the bathroom and looked in the mirror and laughed right in his own face.

"How are you going to find Elphaba?" he laughed harder at himself, "You don't know the first thing about how or where the wizard holds his prisoners." He slid down to the floor as his laughing turned into loud sobs.

He cried and cried. In need of letting this out, he cried until he almost forgot what he was crying about. He didn't even know what time it was, he'd been crying for so long.

Eventually he fell asleep right there on the bathroom floor, cuddled in the fetal position.

When he woke up, around 4 o'clock, he picked himself up off of the floor and back into his bedroom. He couldn't wait for his father's letter, he needed to find Elphaba now. He walked over to his dresser, pulled out a traveling bag and stuffed a few necessities into it, before leaving his dorm room heading to Boq's room.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

There was no answer.

"Boq?" he called in a stage whisper as he opened the door quietly. "Hello?"

He looked around the small messy dorm. There had to be at least one of every object ever invented on the floor, but there was no Boq.

Since it was four in the morning, it took Fiyero a few minutes to realize what this meant.

"Shit." He ran to Glinda's dorm, not knowing what he would find, but he had to separate them before they got into any more trouble…

Fiyero ran right up to Glinda's door and put his hand on the knob. What more trouble could they get into? He knocked on the door anyway, to tell them where he was going.

As soon as he knocked, he heard a large thump, and then frantic rummaging within the dorm.

"Hey, guys, relax, it's me."

Boq opened the door, wearing only a pair of boxers, his hair sticking out every which way. "What's going on?"

Fiyero put his hand on Boq's bare shoulder. "I'm leaving."

Boq blinked a couple of times, the sleep undoubtedly leaving his eyes. "You're what?"

Fiyero took a deep breath and looked everywhere but at Boq. He opened and closed his mouth a few times, buying time to search for the right words. As he was about to talk, Glinda came up behind Boq, wearing a large T-shirt… Boq's t-shirt, Fiyero noticed.

"Guys, I'm going to find Elphaba. I can't wait for my father any longer, and I'm tired of sitting around and doing nothing while Lurline knows what's happening to her." Fiyero noticed Glinda's hands cover her mouth in shock as Boq's face remained unchanged.

"You're nuts," he said, "you don't even know where she is."

"I know," said Fiyero, "…but I love her."

He noticed Glinda choke out a sob as she dropped her forehead down to rest onto the back of Boq's shoulder, wrapping her arms around his chest.

Fiyero stepped towards the two of them, picking Glinda's tear-stained face off of Boq's shoulder. "Glinda, would you mind? I want to talk to Boq alone for a minute outside. Get to bed okay?"

Glinda sniffled and nodded squeezing Boq's hand and flashing a quick smile at Fiyero before closing the door, leaving the two boys outside of the room.

"Come with me."

"What!"

"Come with me. What else do you have to do? You've been expelled remember?"

"Yes, but Glinda's pregnant remember? I can't just leave her now."

"Boq, it's not going to take us nine months to find Elphaba."

"Fiyero, I don't want to leave Glinda, and as a matter of fact, I think that you should stay put as well. If you do find her, you won't be able to free too."

"That's why I want you to come and help me!"

"Look!" Boq finally raised his voice, "I love Elphaba like she's my sister, but I'm not leaving Glinda, Fiyero. I can't do that to her."

Suddenly a fire of passion and love for Elphaba exploded inside Fiyero, and he pushed Boq up against the wall, holding him by his throat, while Boq's eyes pleaded with him.

He held him there for a few seconds before he let him go and moved his hands from Boq's neck to his shoulders. "I'm sorry."

Boq remained silent.

"Please help me Boq." Tears welled in Fiyero's eyes as he begged Boq.

He could see Boq truly considering each side of this decision. Clearly somewhat afraid of Fiyero, but with a slight hint of anger, he finally said, "all right."

"Really?" Fiyero smiled wide.

"Yes, but only under one condition."

"Anything."

"If something happens to me, you and/or Elphaba have to take care of Glinda and the baby."

"Yes, yes, yes, sure, anything." Fiyero, overjoyed, pulled Boq into a bear hug, and patted his back hard. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

"All right," Boq said fiercely pulling away from Fiyero, "heh, that's enough. Now go back to your dorm. We're not leaving until tomorrow."

"Okay!" said Fiyero enthusiastically, "I'll meet you here around noon."

Boq sneered. "Fine."

Fiyero hugged Boq again. "Thanks man. Really, thanks so much."

Fiyero practically skipped down the hall waving at Boq. "Yeah, yeah, yeah," Boq mocked as he turned to go back inside the dorm.

He stopped before he opened the door. "Fuck, how am I gonna tell her!"

Glinda

"YOU'RE WHAT!"

"Glinda, please just listen-"

"No! How can you do this? What if my parents don't let me come back home? Where will I go!"

"Shh!"

"Shh! SHH! You tell me you're leaving me for a few months to go back somewhere I'm not even sure if I'm welcome, and then you tell me to SHUSH!"

"Glinda, please, just keep your voice down, It's almost five in the morning."

"Keep my voice down! Why, are you afraid we're going to get caught! Well, you weren't so afraid while you were macking me before!"

"Glinda, you were the one who talked me into having sex remember?"

"Oh yeah…"

"Glinda, listen." He took her by the hand and sat her down on the bed to look deep into her eyes. "Fiyero needs my help. We won't be gone long, I promise."

Glinda reached up and touched Boq's cheek. "Did he threaten you again?"

Boq thought for a minute. He did, but only for a minute. Fiyero stopped threatening him before he agreed to go with him. Apparently, Boq took too long to think this through, and Glinda's eyes filled with worry.

"He threatened you again didn't he! Oh, Boq, did he hurt you? What happened out there?"

"Glinda," Boq grasped her elbows firmly, "calm down." Hazel eyes stared him down until he was ready to talk again. "He did threaten me, but after a few seconds, he realized he was wrong. I agreed to go with him after he apologized for being rough."

"Boq! Why? Why would you do that!"

"Glinda, just hear me out."

She sat with her arms folded across her chest, a cute little pout on her face, but her eyes however, threatened to fill with tears.

"I'm going with Fiyero to find Elphaba. He's my friend, he's your friend and Elphaba's your friend. We will be back before you know it." He smiled at her. "With Elphaba," he added. Boq found himself saying words he was not sure he, himself believed, but it made Glinda feel better.

In a second, her lips were on his in a passionate kiss. He pushed her back on the bed, laying half on top of her, cupping her face. She broke the kiss for a second, apparently, she had something to say. Boq searched her eyes for an answer, but she said it before he could figure it out. "I love you."

"Do you really?" He stroked her cheek.

"I do. Really."
