Chapter 29

"Fi..fi?" She sputtered, her eyes wide with shock. She threw herself into his arms and hugged him as tight as she could.

He winced. "Still …. recovering." She pulled back immediately.

"Sorry." She muttered sheepishly. "It's just… you're alive." She wiped a stray tear from her eye.

"Wait are you crying?" He asked moving so he could see her face better.

"I thought you were going to die!" She yelled, defensively. He handed her his handkerchief, which she blew into loudly. "Why did you do it anyways?"

He smirked. "To teach you a lesson. I'm surprised it worked out so well."

She hit his arm as hard as she could (lightly). "That was mean."

"But you learned your lesson."

"You didn't hav-"

She was interrupted when the door opened suddenly. "Oh miss Glinda!" A man in a white lab coat with a stethoscope around is neck. He had dark hair, dark eyes and a bit of scruff on his face. "I thought you had-" He glanced at Fiyero. "Oh he's awake!" Glinda turned to Fiyero who had forgotten to change back to his blank look. "And I've forgotten to introduce myself." He held out his and to Glinda. "I'm doctor Madden. How are you?"

She shook it, feeling a little flustered. She had butterflies in her stomach and her face felt hot. "My name is fine." She said. "I mean I feel Glinda." She groaned.

He chuckled. "That's alright. I already know your name." She nodded, not able to do anything else.

He sat down on the bed with a thermometer in his hand. "How do you feel?"

"Great!" Fiyero answered with a dreamy grin as a thermometer was shoved into his mouth. The man then placed his fingers on Fiyero's wrist and looked at his watch. This whole time all Glinda could do was stare with her mouth open.

The man turned back to Glinda. "His pulse is normal but his temperature s a bit high." Glinda nodded. "So his temperature needs to me monitored." Glinda nodded enthusiastically, hanging on to his every word. "I'll be back in a bit with some medicine and to check on him." Glinda nodded. Doctor Madden smiled and left.

"What was that?" Glinda asked Fiyero.

"What?"

"The 'Great' and that stupid grin."

"Hey! It wasn't that stupid." Glinda raised an eyebrow. "Fine it was a little stupid."

"Why'd you do it?"

"The smile?"

Glinda hit his shoulder again causing him to wince again. "Sorry! But yes. What else would I be talking about."

Fiyero rubbed his shoulder. "Well yeah if we want them to think it worked."

"Why would we think it worked?"

"Because then they won't try again." He rubbed his arm. "And trust me it hurt."

"Oh Fifi! I'm sorry!" He raised an eyebrow, giving her a look.

"I told you not to call me that."

"But Fifi!" She stuck out her lip. "Pwease?" She asked in a baby voice.

"Glin-"

"Pwease?" She repeated, sticking out her lip even farther and making her eyes huge.

He groaned. "Fine."

She smiled and hugged him. "Thanks Fifi!"

"Again that was painful."

"Sorry!" She squeaked.

"It's fine."

"Um… how long are you going to act like that?"

"Until I we can rescue Fae."

"Oh." Was all Glinda said.

Thoughts on Glinda's behavior? And by the way the audition went awesome! I got into the theatre program! So after school everyday until four I have intensive acting lessons (Also during the day I get a 90 minute class). And eventually when I get to senior year I'll only have two regular classes and the rest of the day will be devoted to theater! I am officially in heaven.

Also Ultimate Queen of Cliffies how are you so awesome to get everything in your review correct. :D
