Okay I don't know why I didn't mentioned before what I'm about to mention, but what can I say, I'm a mess! So, I usually picture Elphaba a little bit as Willemijn Verkaik cuz let's be honest, Willemijn's features perfectly fit with a witch and she's very beautiful and has such a strong presence on stage!
I imagine Fiyero as a tall guy, muscled, with sapphire blue eyes and dark blond hair, a sandy hair. His skin is light brown tanned. He does have the diamonds but only on his chest.
Do I need to describe Galinda? No, I don't think so, we all know how the bubbly blonde is xd
I think I mentioned how Shaun looks like in one of my chapters, but not with detail, so I'll say it again: Shaun has light brown tan skin, dark black windswept hair that is slightly curled, dark brown eyes and tall with athletic build.

Disclaimer: ahahahahahahahahah dream on Catarina, dream on xd


The next morning, Nessa, Boq, Galinda and Fiyero were reunited in the train station, saying goodbye to Shaun and Elphaba. At least, Nessa and Boq were.

"Goodbye Elphaba, I wish you the best of lucks." Nessa said while hugging the raven-haired witch. She hugged her back, feeling a pang on her stomach. Even though she didn't grow up with Nessa, it was still hard to believe that she was her sister, that she was right in front of her, hugging her.

"Thank you Nessa." Elphaba replied.

After the farewell ended, Boq and Nessa went inside the train station, to the little cafe in there meanwhile the bubbly blonde and the Prince watched Elphaba and Shaun stepping inside the train.

"Galinda, are you sure this is going to work?" asked Fiyero.

"This has to work. Now, discreetly, we are going to that bench back there and pick up our bags and enter another train carriage. We only have one minute left before the train goes, we have no time to lose." Stated Galinda so seriously that got Fiyero surprised.

And so they did. They waved goodbye once again to Elphaba and Shaun and disappeared from sight, moving towards the bench in the corner of the station and picked up their bags. They heard the horn sound which meant the train was going to leave "Galinda run!" exclaimed Fiyero, noticing the train was starting to move slowly but if they didn't pick up the pace, they wouldn't reach it in time.
They ran with their bags whose were difficulting their running but they would not give up. If they started this crazy mission, they would end it.
Fiyero wasn't wearing heels so it was much easier for him to reach the still open door of the train. Galinda wasn't so lucky.

"Throw your bags inside and grab my hand!" shouted Fiyero, while giving his hand to the blonde who was still running, helplessly since she was approaching the end of the station.
In the last second and what appeared to be a miracle, she grabbed his hand and he pushed her inside with all his might. In result, she stumbled on him and everyone inside the carriage was staring.

They promptly got up, still gasping a little "High heels… I'm sure you ladies comprehend what's it like." Said Galinda, blushing a little.

The people stared at them for a little while and then went back to their previous actions.

"Ugh." Fiyero groaned. "That was a close one. Are you okay?"

"Yes, thank you. I was going to hurt myself badly if I hadn't catch your hand in time." She responded.

"Do you think Fae and Shaun saw us running after the train and entering it?" the Vinkun Prince asked.

"I don't think so. If they did, I'm pretty sure Elphie would've stormed a few seconds ago, demanding a reason why we were here." Stated Galinda.

"Yeah, you're right." Fiyero nodded.

They looked over the window to the other carriage and found the green girl and Shaun chatting. Then, they sat and silence ruled between them for a few minutes.

"Have you considered the possibility of something really dangerous happen to them?" asked Fiyero, suddenly.

Galinda looked at him "I hope nothing dangerous will happen to them. But if it does, that's the reason why we are here, to be there for them, to help them. Elphie and Shaun lived on the run all their lives while we were having fun and relaxing about everything. They helped us face the real world, I think. Now I see popularity isn't everything." The blonde stated.

"Yes, they definitely opened our eyes but we never experienced the real danger. I mean, I did when that thing with the lion cub happened but still… That happened once, not all my life. And I can't imagine the pain they felt during these years, especially when they lost their family. They need our support and help, I guess." Stated the Prince.

"I never had such a strong friendship with anyone before except for Elphie. She is the friend anyone would love to have. And you Fiyero, Shaun, Nessa and Boq, of course. They deserve to have people caring about them, they need to know they're not alone and no matter how many times they say we must stay away from all this, I won't." stated Galinda.

"I agree with you. We have a strong friendship. And at least, one of them caught fire." Fiyero said, grinning a little.

"Oh yes it did, lovesick." Said Galinda with a laugh "Why are we speaking like this anyway? So sentimental and realistic, I can barely recognize myself!"

"I don't know, I guess love makes us act like this…" he replied.

"I can't believe the scandalacious Prince Fiyero Tiggular of the Vinkus is saying something like that, it looks like a fairytail or something!" said Galinda between giggles.


Meanwhile on the other carriage, Elphaba and Shaun were having a more serious conversation.

"What if the Wizard does not approve your offer? What if he finds out you're manipulating him?" a worried Shaun asked.

"I'll just have to find a way to make pretty good arguments." Elphaba responded.

"I believe in you El but I'm afraid something goes wrong… You think he could be involved with the Quox army or something?" asked Shaun.

"I don't think so. Why would he be? He's ruling Oz, living a luxury life, everyone adores him. If you want to know, I think he does not even know about these attacks. The Rebels manage to keep it a secret. He's just living the good life how it is, not suspecting a thing. That's what it appears to be, I hope I'm not proved wrong." The green girl responded.

"El you're so smart! You're probably right. The only thing he seems to be responsible of is about the Animal bans, which we've got to stop." The brown-haired boy declared.

"And we will. What he is doing is unacceptable. Jack could have got to Shiz with us, instead he stayed at the Glikkus. I hope he is okay, I haven't heard news from the Glikkus for a while." Said Elphaba.

"Yeah, I miss him. I miss the others too—'"

Elphaba cut him off "Let's not talk about that right now, okay?"

Shaun realized his mistake "I'm sorry El."

"That's okay. I just can't believe the Emerald City is five hours away from Shiz, I'm already tired of being inside the train." She replied with a hoarse voice.

"Maybe you should get some rest. Let's go to the rooms." He said.

"No, I don't want to go to bed right now. Maybe we could keep talking for a while…" she offered.

"Okay, what do you want to talk about?" Shaun asked, noticing Elphaba's eyes twinkling mischievously.

"Tell me about you and Galinda. I noticed you've been a little closer the past few weeks." She responded.

Shaun's cheeks turned red "Well, yeah that's very true."

"So? Tell me more." Elphaba pleaded.

"EL, why are you so curious? You're never curious about something unless if it's about school!" Shaun exclaimed.

"I just want to know what my brother and my best friend are up to!" she retorted.

"Yes, we've been closer. I really, really like her." He stated.

"Have you kissed?" Elphaba asked.

"Shaun's blush intensified "No but I'll make it happen one day!" stated Shaun.

"Wow, so determined." Elphaba said, teasingly.

"Oh El, shut up! What about you and Prince Charming, huh? You are so predictable when you're in love, the way you look at him, the way you blush when you two are close to each other… You melt every time you're with him, it's so funny, you should see your own face! You just wish you could climb to his lap and kiss him fervently." Said Shaun, while simulating kiss noises.

Elphaba couldn't contain her blush but glared at him and spoke very seriously "Do you have a death wish, Shaun?"

He looked at her and realized he should shut his mouth if he wanted to stay alive.

Neither of Elphaba, Shaun, Galinda or Fiyero went to the carriage rooms. Instead, they stayed in their respective carriage's seats and thank goodness they did! Galinda and Fiyero had to be very careful if they didn't want to get caught.

The train stopped and Elphaba, being a light sleeper as she was, woke up and looked through the window. Five hours later, they had arrived to the Emerald City.
