[Well, here goes nothing…]

Prologue…

Fiyero had promised Elphaba that they would be safe, secluded outside of Oz in a tiny castle in the middle of nowhere, but he missed Glinda and desperately missed the days they had all spent together in school: him, Elphie, Glinda, Nessa and even Boq…a little bit. He knew he had hurt her, he didn't need a brain to figure that out, but she was far too sweet to leave behind forever.

The one problem with Fiyero, besides the fact that he was still a scarecrow, was his stubbornness; once he set his mind to something, he couldn't be stopped. So now, he could not be stopped from finding Glinda and bringing her back into his life…their life. He would do it at night, he thought, so Elphie would be asleep, because Fiyero knew that if his strong headed girlfriend found out his plans, she would fly off after him in a heartbeat and he would not risk her life.

"That's it!" Fiyero blurted out his acceptance of his 'master plan'.

"FIYERO!" Elphaba screamed from the floor across the room. Fiyero nearly jumped out of his seat,

"What?!"

"I told you I needed silence!" Fiyero had forgotten she was trying to read a spell. Then again, she was always trying to read something from that stupid book. Not that studying was bad; it was just that he never did it, any of it, never mind hours and hours of it. He slowly regained composer and waltzed across the room to where Elphaba was sitting in his shallowly charming way he knew she couldn't resist.

"I'm sorry, babe," He crouched down behind her and whispered in her ear "Let me make it up to you" He kissed her temple, then brushed her raven black hair aside as he made his way down her pale emerald green neck.

"Oh…" Elphaba knew what was coming all too well…"Fiyero…don't…I'm worki-" She was cut off by a shrill squeak she had been trying to contain, as her boyfriend slipped his hand under her dress and up her thigh. Elphaba couldn't take it anymore. She finally gave in, by flipping Fiyero over, with surprising strength, onto his back, as they took advantage, in the middle of the living room, of being cut off from society. There was no one to walk in on them. Except maybe Chistery, but he knew to knock…from unfortunate experience.

THAT NIGHT

Elphaba lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, concentrating and deep in thought, but it was interrupted as Fiyero rolled over onto her side of the bed, landing his arm over her face.

"Ow…" She said, but quickly covered her mouth so as not to wake Fiyero. She then shoved his arm, without tolerance, off of her face and onto his. After all the teasing and torture she had undergone for being green, and even the murder attempts for being "Wicked", the one thing should could not tolerate was having her side of the bed invaded. It was just one of those things. She had to sleep on the left, without any 'cuddling' or hugging: she needed her space. So much, in fact, that Fiyero had once made the mistake of asking if they could switch sides, and that lead to such a heated argument that Elphaba ended up mistakenly casting a spell that left Fiyero dodging a flying lamp.

But that was not what Elphie was contemplating as she studied the ceiling. She was thinking about how much she missed Glinda.

"I've lost my entire family" She said, barely audible over Fiyero's snoring, "I lost my mother, my wretched father and I lost Nessa." She choked on her sister's name. "Then I found Glinda, and gained the only person who I ever really considered family, who ever really cared about me. There is no way in hell I'm going to lose that." Elphaba sat up in bed "I cannot justify inflicting this much pain on her…" Her bright green eyes lit up with realization. She looked down at her sleeping Fiyero. She loved him, but he didn't need to know absolutely everything, right? Right.

"Good," Elphie spoke softly, "I'll leave tomorrow night."
