On the last chapter of this story, and I just can't finish it! Ugh.

Chapter Twenty- Five

Elphaba's eyes widened at the sight of him. He looked excited, youthful…happy. Not to mention he'd completely recovered from his wounds and put on more muscle than before.

The Wizard gaped at him, "Oz, Fiyero Tiggular. You have some nerve showing your face around here again."

Fiyero looked at Elphaba and smiled, "Turc couldn't make it, so I volunteered to come. It's good to see you again, Elphaba."

The Wizard looked at Elphaba with daggers in his eyes and she responded, "Pl…please state your business with his Ozness."

Fiyero turned his attention back to the Wizard, "I've brought the papers for you to sign, your Ozness. No rush, I'll be here for a few days." He said, turning to leave. Before he turned his back, he winked at Elphaba, and she had to look away to avoid fainting. When he was gone, the Wizard said,

"You are engaged, Elphaba. Remember that. You are dismissed." He said angrily.

Elphaba went to her office to settle her thoughts. Fiyero was here. He actually came back. The moment she let him go he'd reappeared in her life. She had to talk to him.

When she arrived at her office, a note was on her desk. It read, I'll be at my hotel room, across from the palace. – F. Elphaba gathered her things and left for the hotel room. She found his room and took a deep breath before knocking on the door.

Fiyero opened the door, "Hey, Fae." He said. When she saw him, she embraced him as tears slipped down her cheeks.

"I thought you weren't coming back."

He hugged her tighter, "Why would you ever think that?" he broke the hug and said, "I didn't want to come back until I knew I was ready."

They both sat down and Fiyero explained his story, "When I went back, my parents accepted me with open arms. They were so proud of everything I'd accomplished. I told them about you and how you changed my life, and they helped me kick my problem. It took a while, but I finally did it. This was the perfect opportunity for me to come for you."

"Fiyero, I'm so happy for you!"

"Well, lets get out of here. I can't wait for you to see the Vinkus."

"Yero…listen, I can't come with you."

"Why not?" he said, reaching for her hand, but seeing the engagement ring for the first time. "Wha….Who?"

"Avaric proposed to me yesterday. Once we're married, the Wizard wants us to rule. I didn't have a choice, Yero."

"Fae, you could have said no! I mean, I told you I was coming back for you!"

"393 days with no letter, no sign of you. I thought you were gone. Besides, every time I look into the Wizard's eyes, I see you with your skin tattered and fear. I can't say no to him, Yero." She said as she started to cry.

He hugged her and said, "It's alright, I'm here now."

She looked in his eyes and for the first time wondered if she wanted to be with him or Avaric.

"What's wrong?" he said, searching her eyes for an answer.

She answered with her deep kiss, which he melted into. Elphaba was in a war between herself and sooner or later she was going to have to choose.

Please don't hate me. :)
