A/N: Now I get to make a book reference! And sorry about the late chapter I've been working hard on my other story, "Love is a Battlefield"

Elphaba sat in her seat in Life Sciences, listening to Dr. Niddik, while trying not to fall asleep. The man should have never become a teacher because of his mumbling problem. Yet here he was talking about some sort of dust. Dr. Niddik poured it over a portrait of one of the headmasters as some of the students remembered him saying something about the dust bringing life to inanimate objects. The students were sitting upright in their seats as the dust began to settle on the portrait. Suddenly the door opened, ruining the air currents that were keeping the dust on the portrait. The dust slowly drifted upwards as Fiyero stood in the doorway, clearly realizing his mistake.

"You fool! Why couldn't you come in on time?" Elphaba smirked though no one saw it. That's the problem with having her as a girlfriend, she has very sharp nails and can easily break skin on say someone's back in the throws of passion. She watched as her boyfriend apologized and sent her an evil look. She just smiled innocently. Suddenly the sounds of cracking alerted Elphaba of the antlers that had broken off their mantel. Dr. Niddik didn't even look up as he continued to pack his things up. He looked to see the antlers looking ready to kill or skewer someone. Don't blame Yero, Don't blame Yero, don't blame- "Why are you looking about me, blame that one if you must!" Dr. Niddik said as he pointed straight to Fiyero. The antlers made their way towards Fiyero before putting him in a chokehold. Elphaba immediately got up as did Crope and Tibbett. Dr. Niddik fell on his arthritic knees as Crope and Tibbett broke the antlers away from Fiyero's neck and threw them to the ground. Elphaba began stomping on them like a tantruming child with her boots, making sure to get every last piece. After the pieces were reduced to nothing but dust, Elphaba went to Fiyero. "Are you alright?"

"Ye-"

"No broken bones, no punctured lungs?"

"N-"

"How many fingers am I holding up?"

"Tw-"

"What color am I wearing?"

"Black."

"No it's a-" Elphaba stopped and quickly spun in a circle. "Oh it is black."

"I'm fine Elphaba."

"But what about-"

"I didn't think I'd have to resort to this." Fiyero took Elphaba's waist and began to kiss her deeply. When they broke apart, Elphaba was trying to remember her name. "He's fine." With that she went out the door, remembering that Dr. Niddik had already left. Galinda caught up with her friend, getting over her giggles.

"He has you wrapped around his finger Elphie." Galinda said.

"The feeling's mutual." Fiyero said as he held Elphaba close. They went to lunch early to a small café. They began to talk about the Ozdust dance coming up. Obviously Elphaba and Fiyero were going together but Galinda was waiting for Boq to ask her. Just then the bell on the door rang, signaling the very boy they were talking about was coming in. Elphaba stealthily got up and went to Boq. "Hello Master Boq."

"Hello Miss Elphaba. And no need for the honorifics. We were once friends in Munchkinland. The child's play group that you were in before you went Houdini on us."

"Oh right! I totally forgot! Now I have a slight problem."

"I'm listening."

"You see, I'm obviously going with Fiyero, for obvious reasons."

"Of course."

"But…Galinda hates being a third wheel. And she's waiting for someone, to invite her." Elphaba said, putting emphasis on the someone, hoping to make a point. Boq's face deflated. This boy wouldn't get a hint if it danced the tango naked in front of him! Elphaba thought to herself. She kept her temper under control however. "Now I think it would be really good, if you would ask her."

"B-B-But she's waiting for someone else." Tango. Naked. Elphaba thought again.

"Boq. She is waiting for you." Elphaba said finally putting it in plain text. His eyes finally lit up with understanding. Thank Lurline. Boq went to Galinda calmly. "Miss Galinda, can I talk to you for a moment?"

"Of course." Galinda said as she scooted out of the booth. Fiyero went up to Elphaba and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.

"You're good."

"I have no idea what you mean." Elphaba said back as she watched Galinda's face go to one of pure ecstasy. "Cover your ears."

"Why?"

"You'll see." Fiyero and Elphaba covered their ears just in time for Galinda to shriek, "YES!"

"Now you know why."

End Chapter!
