More of a drabble this time. But it's still a milestone, as we get a break from Frex.
The office door opened slowly as Elphaba peeked in. Dad was busy, but that worked out well for what she wanted to ask. "Dad?"
"Yes, sweetheart?"
"Can I go to a party?"
This startled him, and he turned around. "A party? Who's the host?"
"Kiki."
"Kiki?" Elphaba had been making some new friends lately, so the fact he'd hadn't heard about this one was of no concern. There was one thing that concerned him, however. "Are they a boy or a girl?"

Elphaba turned and nodded.
"But he's not the one hosting the party?"
"No, he's Kiki's brother. Can I still go?"
He nodded mutely. Elphaba smiled and ran. A boy just asked Elphaba to a party . . .
Lirr turned back and leaned onto his desk, laughing and crying at the same time. Rose walked by at that moment.
"It's so nice to see Elphaba excited for something, don't you think, Lirr?" She stopped in front of the door. "Lirr?"
"Lurline help us all." he said. "I think our flower is blooming
