This chapter is a little short, but I have to go walk the dogs and get ready for a paying babysitting job. So I'm depressed about Breaking Dawn weekend and how I have to do almost everything in the house, so don't mind me. Plus, I am upset with my reviews, though its better that I am getting them. Also, I hope this chapter answers you question Therealfae. If you'd like points, review and ask for them. If you want something to happen (maybe) or have a song request for me to work in, review. Please? I'm really in a strange mood right now.


When the game started, Elphaba was on the first line as Fiyero was casted as the water boy. But in the Vinkus, Fiyero hadn't played soccer, and he had no idea what it was. When he tried to tell Elphaba this, she smiled nicely as Norbert laughed loudly, and made comments about her boyfriend.

"As water boy, you sit beside the water jug. When someone comes to the bench, fill one of these paper cups with water and give it to them." Elphaba instructed, as if he was a child. Coralie was laughing in the background, because she didn't want to play with people she didn't know.

Funny thing is soccer was only played in Munchkinland, because news didn't spread as fast as it could to the Vinkus. Some places in the Gilikin and Quadling counties played soccer, but only Munchkinland had great big soccer games. The Vinkus was simply too far away from them to learn how to play. Of course, when Fiyero had seen a group of Munchkinlanders at Shiz kicking around a ball, he didn't ask if they would teach him how to play.

"Okay. Don't get hurt." Fiyero said, kissing Elphaba.

When the first switch happened, Elphaba became goalie. She was quite bad at it, but she wanted others to play the game. That position was the most undesired one, and being goalie enabled her to think as her teammates kept the ball away. She'd glance over at the benches, where Fiyero was talking with her father. Maybe they liked each other more than Anakin and Elphaba got along.


Nessa was in her room, flipping through a scrapbook that Elphaba had brought her. The cocaine was on a table farthest away from her bed, and back in the lab they were drawing blood and finding Nessa a kidney so that Elphaba didn't have to donate. Nessarose looked at the pictures on the strong pages. A picture of her and her sister dressed up for Halloween. Somehow, Elphaba had convinced her sister to be the Nyan Cat, and so her wheelchair had a cardboard box on it, with pop tarts. There were rainbow colored streamers behind her.

On the opposite page, Nessa's first day of High School, as well as her Graduation picture. It had been taken with her friends that were in her year, and then one with her father. Only three days after the first day of High School picture, all of Nessarose's friends had forgotten about her and so she had to hang out with Elphaba. It wasn't that bad, but when it came time for her sweet sixteen, she had no one to invite. So instead of being surrounded by her friends, Nessa surrounded herself with politicians at a meeting on her birthday.

Turning the page over, there was a collection of pictures that Elphaba had gotten from various sources at Shiz of her and Boq. The only reason Nessa had started doing drugs, it was because Boq didn't love her, and she needed something to tell her that he did. Nessa didn't care if it was a lie; she would deal with that later when she's older. Picking up the little remote that she had on her bedside, Nessa summoned for a nurse.

"Yes?" Said a woman who had to have just gotten out of Med-school. Her pink 'Hello Kitty' scrubs proved it.

"Can you turn on some music? The cd is already in the player don't worry." Nessa put her head on her pillow, closing the scrapbook and putting it on her lap.

"Your sister must really love you."

"Why would you say that?" Nessa opened her eyes, and the nurse was tucking her in. The name tag read Victoria.

"Well, my sister never made me a cd for when I got sick, and would never have donated a kidney to me. In fact, I almost never got to see my sister." Victoria walked out of the door, killing the conversation. She probably had some other patients to tuck in and tell a story to anyways. Nessa was just leftovers. Who would need her in future life, other than government? It felt as if no one loved her, and that no one would care. When she had gotten sicker, it was a miracle that someone noticed she was seizing.

That had to be the motive she had to take the drugs. Of course, Nessa knew the dangers she was putting herself in, so she didn't put it in the sugar jar, or in the milk. Just in a cardboard box under her bed.

As Nessa thought, she remembered that Elphaba and Fiyero were probably out playing the game. Of course, Nessa used to go to those games with Elphaba and be the water girl because she wanted to contribute. Maybe her father didn't do any work that day either and went to go play soccer too.

The song 'Speechless' started playing, and almost instantly, Nessa fell asleep.


"That was some game. Good job Fabala." Frex said, patting his girl on the back. Her ponytail had come loose, and her headphones were around her neck. Fiyero was on the other side of them, with his sister. They were talking about something too.

"Thanks. I do have to say that you did pretty well too, old man." A few moments of awkward silence occurred.

"Elphaba, Fabala, I have to ask you something important that will allow me to sleep tonight. Are you and Fiyero being safe?" Elphaba blushed and hid her eyes.

"We haven't done anything n of the sort, and if we did we would be safe. Now let's go home and get some milk, I'm thirsty." Elphaba ran ahead of him, and went to link arms with Fiyero. At least there wasn't an arranged marriage anymore. Sure, Anakin would be madder than crazy, but who cared? Frex wanted his daughter to be happy and wasn't going to be mean anymore.

Coralie was watching the two jog home, Elphaba getting Fiyero to run. It was humorous beyond compare, and she was tempted many times to take out her cellphone and take a video. Her parents would laugh so hard, Frex was walking home, after making a stop at Starbucks and the hospital.

"Move it!" Elphaba said, walking the same speed as Fiyero's jogging.

"I'm trying. Why do I love you again?" They stopped, linked arms and skipped. Coralie felt like she was going to puke.

It was too romantic.
