Finally. Guh. I get the feeling a lot of people will hate it!


"Fiyero, my dear, his Eminence has requested that you marry his daughter! Apparently he found you in some sort of...compromising situation together, and feels that marriage would be the best course of action." Queen Neena informed the boy as he lay in his infirmary bed. His head wound had healed, and it was decided that he was to be allowed home the next day. Frex had seen fit to take Elphaba home; mainly to allow her to clean up and have a proper sleep for the first time in almost a fortnight. King Tush stood by his wife, quiet and composed.

"He fears that Miss Elphaba may have become pregnant, and you and I both know that an illegitimate child would not prove good publicity for either the Thropps nor us." Neena added sternly. Only her haphazard boy could get himself into trouble such as this, and she wasn't surprised. To her utter shock, a content grin spread across his face.

"Of course I'll marry her, mother!" he cried, willing to be ready for the ceremony right that minute.

Tush stepped in. "Are you sure this is what you want, my son? It's not just another one of your...whims, is it?"

"Are you certain you didn't just want the...novelty? She's exotic, and pretty, and...I mean, my dear, she's as green as sin!" Neena added. She secretly liked the girl, and found her skin fascinating. However, she was afraid that this was what had attracted her philandering son to the poor girl in the first place.

"Father, Mother, I love her, uncategorically, unquestioningly and unequivocally...I love her blindly, and I think her colouring is beautiful. Elphaba changed me, and I love her for it. Truly, I do, and nothing would make me happier than to marry her." Fiyero declared passionately, grinning like a fool.

His parents gaped.


"Elphie! You're getting married! That' so exciting!" Galinda shrieked, whirling towards the bemused green girl and enveloping her in a huge hug, smothering her in the mass of pink frills on her dress. Fiyero stood gingerly in the background, biting his lip like a little boy getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Over the pale shoulder, Elphaba shot him a look that blatantly said 'You told her?'. He shrugged and grinned. The pained look on her face was priceless.

"It would seem that I am, Glinny!" Elphaba cried as enthusiastically as possible, gently pushing the bouncing blonde away.

"Ohhh! I always knew you and Fiyero were soulmates! I have to plan the wedding!"

"What?" Fiyero and Elphaba gasped in unison, visions of pink ruffles and copious flowers springing into their minds.

"Don't worry, it'll be tasteful. Nessa will help me, and she'll help me pick out things that you'll like." Galinda replied, sensing their apprehension and tactfully reigning in her energy for once.

"That'll be nice, Linny." her green friend smiled softly, squeezing her small hand gratefully in her own. Fiyero opened his mouth to speak, only to be silenced by the blonde tornado dancing gaily towards him and hugging him hard.

"You can go to Lake Chorge on your honeymoon! Can you imagine, it would be so romantic. Caprice-in-the-Pines is just perfect for a young couple, and the view is beautiful, and you would have no-one to disturb you..." she prattled on, and her friends shared a despairing glance.


The young husband and wife reclined on the porch in front of the large white villa, the evening sun casting a pretty orange glow over the lake below. He twirled a strand of her raven black hair around one finger, allowing himself a low groan as she kissed his elegant jaw.

"I'm glad your Father made me marry you..." Fiyero laughed breathlessly as Elphaba pressed a teasing kiss to his throat. She chuckled and gently nipped his tanned skin with her perfect teeth, grinning as he hissed quietly in both pleasure and pain.

"You're saying you wouldn't have married me anyway?" she asked, letting her lips dance along his collarbone. He conceded gladly, feeling his breath catch and his pulse quicken. 'Lurline above, I love this woman,' he thought, tilting his head back and closing his eyes in complete trust, love and submission. This was a life he could get used to.


I'm getting the feeling that the ending was too abrupt...But I started to really dislike this fic towards the end. Thank you to everyone who read and reviewed!

I'm very grateful to you all! :D
