Say there's a future for us as a pair

by lonelylittledot

In an attempt to escape Oz, the Witch and the Scarecrow walk through the Time Dragon Clock, not expecting the mystical machine to transport them back to the time when they where simply Elphaba and Fiyero. Having retained their memories and been handed a second chance, will the pair be able to change their story and find their happy ending? [shameless fluff pretending to be a story]

38. There's a storm gathering

Dearest Fiyero,

Is it just me, or have things gotten rather tense lately? All I seem to see these days are troubling signs, signs of discontent, deceit, dissent. It really worries me, quite frankly. My nightmares have returned, but that's not even what I'm most concerned about. I've just been feeling really strange lately. Uneasy. Skittish. Restless. I keep catching myself being all tensed-up, waiting for something bad to happen. As if there's a storm gathering, but I can't quite predict when it will strike and where to take shelter.

I met your friend in the city a few days ago. I was surprised to see him, since I thought he was on business in the Vinkus. Unfortunately we didn't really manage to talk much, but he seemed quite concerned for his parents and their little one. Well, at least I'm not the only one who's worried…

Yero, please, take care of yourself. These are strange times we live in, one can never be too careful. I would be beyond grateful if you could keep an eye on Nessa as well. In her letters, she keeps telling me everything is okay, still I can't help but worry. I would never forgive myself if anything happened to either of you.

Be careful. Be smart. Be safe.

I love you.

Elphaba
