Time to Choose

A/N: Okay, so I'm sure that all of you are surprise with what I did at the end. Whether it's because of Boq's heroic act or Galinda's scream at the end. To be honest, I wasn't quite expecting that myself. Like I said before, I just write. I'll edit a bit and make sure that it's believable and in line with the plot, but I really just…write. So, I don't know where this is going, soo…lemme see your reactions instead in the reviews. Also, the best gift you can all give me is to greet me congrats….FOR GRADUATING AND POSSIBLY SEEING IDINA MENZEL IN CONCERT THIS AUGUST. *clears throat* ON WITH THE STORY

Disclaimer: Nope, no matter what, I still don't own Wicked, because I ain't a genius. End of story.

"B-Boq!" Nessa cried, tears already forming. Galinda stayed silent in shock, but you could clearly see her mascara running.

"N-no, Boq stay with us! YOU WON'T LEAVE US HERE. " Galinda finally yelled, her grip on the towel tighter. She looked at Nessa before saying,

"Nessa please, call help…NOW!" Nessa nodded quickly, wheeling out of the room so fast it looked dangerous. Galinda looked at Boq, putting his head on her lap.

"Oh Boq, please…please, stay here."

"Sweet Oz." Shellaina gasped as she was told the news. She continued to brush her brother's hair gently as he fell asleep. They were already losing time for Fiyero, which hurt bad enough, but they couldn't possibly lose Boq as well!

"I…I have so much respect for Boq. That was so risky." The Queen nodded.

"Where is he?"

"The medics have already rushed him to the emergency room. Me and Galinda had told them the full cause of his injury, so now some of the officers nearby are called to investigate. The suspects from Munchkinland are no where to be found – they must've left." Nessa supplied, being the most worried for her precious Boq.

Elphaba felt so mad that you could practically see the steam coming out of her ears.

"I cannot believe my father! He's already done such unforgivable stuff, and here he is trying to kill off those against him." She snarled. The Queen held Elphaba's hand, gesturing for the emerald girl to sit.

"My dear, even I am having an extreme grudge against Munchkinland due to their governor's actions, but unfortunately, we can't do anything about it."

"I could've. I'm his daughter, his most hated daughter. I could still change his mind." Elphaba said in a frustrated manner. The Queen chuckled, albeit a bit dryly.

"My dear, no matter if he loves you or hates you as a person, that doesn't change his actions. He'll still be wanting revenge on my son, whose only crime is being the future ruler of our kingdom. Right now, your dear friends are both being taken care of… all you can do right now is sit and wait. It might make you feel useless, but sometimes that's all you really need to do." The Queen smiled at Elphaba. The latter sighed before leaning against a chair.

"You're right. I definitely cannot deny such wise words, especially from a Queen." She smiled slightly at the last part despite everything, making some of them chuckle.

But one of them is more than a friend to me. Elphaba thought to herself.

The nurse came out, her face looking a bit pale. Galinda stood up almost immediately, making her hair bounce more than usual. Nessa wheeled in closer while Elphaba, the King and the Queen leaned in.

"Any updates on one of their condition?" The King questioned. The nurse, named Leah, nodded.

It good news or bad news?" Elphaba asked, her eyes shining with hope, something rarely seen from her now.

"A little of both actually." Leah took a seat beside Shellaina, who rose an eyebrow in question.

"The good news is they will both be in good shape eventually." The young nurse smiled, making them all sigh in relief.

"B-but the bad news?" Nessa asked, worry still not leaving her features. This was when Leah looked down and sighed.

"The cure done by the Munchkin is also the key to have his injury fully fixed. But, the cure is rare to find. We can only let one person drink it.

Elphaba's eyes knitted together. "And what'll happen to the person who won't be able to drink it?"

"They'll recover, alright But they'll either be fully paralyzed, or forever weak and easy to fall ill. You only have a few hours to decide.

A/N: The fact that I wrote this while watching NigaHIga videos show how much I'm distracted. I hope it's not too crappy. But please, reactions are very well appreciated in the reviews! But, who would you give the potion to?
