Fiyero rushed through the Shiz Green, searching for Boq and Nessa. Finally, he spotted them, sitting on one of the benches, looking through a book for a spell to bring her back.

"Boq! Nessa!" The two looked up as he approached.

"Fiyero, what is it?" Nessa asked.

"She's alive!"

"What?" Boq asked, as the prince skidded to a stop in front of them.

"She's alive!"

"Who's alive?"

"She's alive!"

"Elphaba?" Nessa asked. Fiyero nodded.

"Whoa, wait a minute, slow down. Start from the beginning Fiyero. Who's alive and how do you know?" Fiyero groaned.

"Meet me in the cafe at our usual table in five minutes." Fiyero said, rushing off. He hurried back to his dorm room, grabbed a pad and pencil and left.

Five minutes later, he slid into the seat across from Nessa and Boq. His sandy hair was windblown, and his shirt was rumpled. Panting, he set the book on the table, and dropped the necklace on top. Then, he looked at the two.

"Is that....Elphie's necklace?" Boq asked, leaning forward to get a closer look. Fiyero nodded.

"I don't understand. What does Elphie's necklace have to do with her being alive?" Nessa asked, looking from the necklace to Fiyero and back. Silent, he placed the necklace on the table and opened the book to the page he'd bookmarked. Then, he turned the book around, and pushed it towards Nessa and Boq. The two read it silently, before looking up at Fiyero.

"No way." The prince nodded.

"Wait," Nessa started, blowing on her coffee to cool it. "so the necklace is left in the present, to be returned to Elphaba when she gets back, right?" Fiyero nodded. "And if it's still, she's dead." Another nod. "And if it's pulsing, then she's alive." Another nod. "And it's pulsing, so that means she's alive, right?" Fiyero nodded violently. "So, if the heart is pulsing, and Elphaba's alive, then she can come home."

Fiyero nodded, smiling, glad that the younger Thropp had figured it out.

"But wait, how do we know whether she's in the past or the future?"

"I don't know." Fiyero said.

"So, what do we do?"

"There's nothing else we can do. I guess we just wait until she comes back." Fiyero said.

Slowly, he picked up the necklace, the heart pulsing in his hand.

The heart.

Elphie's heart.
