Friday night rolled around too fast for Dorothy's taste. Her first date...this would be interesting! They were going to the roller skating rink, the best place to be on a Friday night.
The girls in the dormitory helped Dorothy get ready. She put her long hair into a ponytail. Dorothy took a good look in the mirror. Her beauty was unmatched. She was radiant.
She wore a pair of pants she'd borrowed from Hope. Apparently, girls in Oz could wear pants made of denim, she thought this odd.
Dorothy borrowed a shirt with no sleeves from Ariel. The clothing for Ozian teenagers was strange, but she would do anything to make Dave like her.
Alyssa had given Dorothy a picture of her older brother to put in her room. She looked at it every day. Closing her eyes, she could remember everything about that day in the rain, even down to the way he smelled, the way he tasted. She missed him, and was dying for his arms to wrap around her again.
Eight o' clock rolled around and a knock came at the door. Alyssa answered it.
"Oh it's you." she said with a grin.
Dave stuck his tongue out at his younger sister and walked in the room.
"Sit on the couch, I'll go get Dorothy."
Dave nodded and waited.
Alyssa walked into Dorothy's room with a huge smile on her face. All of the girls were sitting in the room, a look of anticipation on every face.
"He's here."
'I wonder what she's wearing.' Dave thought to himself. 'How much longer will she be? I can't wait to see her! Is this a date? Oh, don't say ::anything:: about a date, you might scare her away. Umm...is it ok if I hold her hand? STOP THINKING SO MUCH OR YOU'LL SCREW IT UP!'
The bedroom door opened and out walked the most beautiful girl Dave had ever set his eyes upon. Dorothy was graceful. Her blue eyes stared right through him. Dave stood and walked over to her.
"I've been looking forward to seeing you, Dorothy." Dave kissed her hand. "You look beautiful!"
Giggling could be heard from the bedroom and Dorothy said,
"Thank you Dave, you look wonderful too."
He looked into her eyes, and put his hands on her waist. Gently, he pulled her in and they once again kissed.
"OOOooooOOOOooooOOOOO!" the girls all said in unison.
Dorothy and Dave broke apart and laughed.
"Well, we'd better get going." said Dave.
"I'll see you later girls!" Dorothy said to her roommates.
Together, hand in hand, Dave and Dorothy walked out the door together.
...When the two of them reached the skating rink, Dorothy reminded herself that it was just Dave, whom she cared for, watching her. No one else would care. This gave her a jolt of confidence, she then walked with Dave to get her skates.
It had been a long time since she'd been skating. The last time she went was with Hunk, Hickory and Zeke on a nearby paved road.
Dorothy looked around. They were outside, and the whole place was surrounded by a high gate. There was a band playing on a stage in the middle of a circular, paved rink. There were many people Dorothy's age there.
They got skates from the front and Dave paid for Dorothy to get in, an extremely polite gesture, Dorothy thought.
At first, Dorothy thought she wouldn't be able to skate after all that time, but after she stood, all the memories of having fun with Hunk, Hickory, and Zeke, flooded back into her head, filling her heart with joy, and skating became extremely easy.
Dave and Dorothy stayed together, skating in unison and holding hands, no words were necessary, this was perfect for both of them!
After about an hour, Dave squeezed Dorothy's hand gently, getting her attention, and said over the sound of the band,
"How would you like to meet some of my friends?"
Dorothy nodded hesitantly.
She thought to herself, 'What if his friends do not approve of me? Then I'm sure he would be rid of me quickly. Don't think about it so much, if you do you will surely make a fool of yourself. Be calm.'
Dorothy and Dave skated over to a group of picnic tables, which provided a place to rest. They stopped at a table where four people sat.
"Dorothy, I'd like you to meet my friends. This is Dan, Chris, John, and err..." Dave put a disgusted look on his face.
"Well," said the only girl at the table. "I take it you're not happy to see me Dave."
"It's David." he replied in a cold manor.
"Right. Who's your friend, David?"
Dave's attention was immediately brought back to the goddess standing next to him.
"This is my girl." Dave looked into her eyes, and a smile came to Dorothy's face, knowing that this was his way of asking her to be his girlfriend. "This my girl Dorothy."
Everybody greeted her warmly and invited her to sit. The only one who seemed out of place, was that girl.
"I'm Jessica. I'm David's other 'girl'."
Dorothy cocked an eyebrow.
"Really? I find it hard to believe that such a nice boy would want to be with such a dirty girl."
Jessica squinted. This girl was wearing practically no clothing at all, just a black shirt and an extremely short black skirt. She had greasy hair, and heavy makeup. In a word, she was trashy.
"Dorothy," said Dan. "Don't pay her any mind. She's just a lousy tramp trying to get ahead."
The boys laughed, Jessica frowned and threw food at Dan. Dorothy blushed violently and looked at her hands, which rested on the table, as to avoid making the group uncomfortable, though in reality, Dorothy felt terribly uncomfortable herself. A supportive arm wrapped around her.
"Hey guys!" said Dave as the group went silent. "There's a lady present. Watch your language."
Dave smiled at Dorothy and her face went back to it's natural color.
"I'm fine Dave. Really, I don't mind."
There was a point of silence, and then Dave got up and helped Dorothy to stand.
"Come on, let's skate."
But before they could go, a hand grabbed Dorothy's arm firmly. She looked at Jessica, who had a tight grip.
Jessica stood next to Dorothy and whispered in her ear,
"Just be good to him, ok?"
Dorothy nodded, and off they went.
"What did she say to you?" Dave asked.
"Nothing. Let's just skate."
Dan turned to Chris,
"Do you think they know how many people are talking about them right now?"
Chris shook his head.
"Nope...they are way too oblivious."
Both chuckled.
...At first the pace was slow, but then Dave's friends started skating around them and they all ended up chasing each other. The fun and games didn't end until midnight when the rink closed. They all returned their skates, and said goodnight.
"Dorothy?" asked Dave. "Want me to walk you back up to your room?"
Dorothy smiled.
"Yes, that would be nice."
They walked slowly, hand in hand, enjoying each other's presence.
"So, do you like my friends?"
"Yes, I do very much. They're so kind to me. I think Jessica is going to have to get used to me though. She must really care for you."
"Ignore Jessica. She's just jealous of your beauty."
Dorothy allowed herself to blush.
"You're so sweet."
They reached the door too fast.
"Dorothy, I think you got the hint at the rink, but I should probably ask you formally if you want to be my girl."
"No need to ask Dave. Of course I will!"
He brushed his hand against her cheek. She was flawless, everything about this girl was a miracle.
"No wonder you were born wrapped in angel's wings. You are an angel. And I..."
He took a breath.
"...I love you Dorothy."
They kissed, forgetting who's mouth belonged to who. When they parted, Dorothy's eyes were glowing.
"I love you so much!"
Little did they know, they were being watched.
...'May God be with you Dorothy Castine. Your days are numbered!'
That's it for now. I hope everybody is having a load o' fun reading this story, I know I'm having fun writing it! Well anyway, remember to review and e-mail me at I love hearing from you guys, and so far I've gotten some great advice and comments. For those of you who love Wicked, I'm glad you took the time to read it, it's a fabulous book. For those of you who haven't, I recommend you do. Ok? Ok. Read on, more will come soon.
