"Fae..." whined Fiyero, pulling his lover back onto the bed. "Why can't you
take a day off for once?"
"What if everyone decided to take a day off?" replied Elphaba, shrugging him off. "Where would we be then, my dear Yero?"
"We'd be a lot a happier.
"No, we'd be in chaos.
"Well I don't want everyone to take a day off. Just you.
"Fiyero, I'm the only Animal doctor out here. What if something happens and I'm not here?
"I hardly think a large mass of mangled Animals is going to show up at our door in dire need of medical treatment. Even your clients say you work too hard, and deserve a day off.
"That is an unprofessional opinion though.
"Who's opinion would you consider professional?
"That's not the point!
"The point is that you ought to and need to take a day off.
"Fine, but if a large mass of mangled Animals shows up at the door in need of dire medical treatment the day off is cancelled understood?
"Understood and agreed," said Fiyero wrapping his arms around Elphaba's waist pulling her closer to him as he kissed the back of her neck.
"Oh, I see where things are going," said Elphaba grinning as she turned around. She pushed her lover back onto the bed and kissed him deeply. Things would've gone a lot further hadn't a loud banging on the door occurred at that very moment.

"Well here I am," said Glinda a little uncertainly as she read the plaque beside the door which said: "Dr. Elphaba, Animal Specialist. Office Hours: 8 AM to 10 PM. Walk-ins welcome. Emergencies dealt with immediately."
"It certainly looks like a place Elphie would choose to live in and with the right touch it could be quite lovely," thought Glinda unconvincingly as she stood in front of a rather formidable castle. She was doing her best not to grimace with distaste at the bareness of the exterior. She gritted her teeth and reached for the large brass door knocker. Just as she had it within her grasp, she suddenly shrank back, and instead began digging within the silk pouch that served as her purse. Within a few minutes she triumphantly pulled out a handkerchief and proceeded to wrap the cloth around the door knocker. With that, she began banging heavily on the large wooden door.

"Too bad. Clients are here. Day off is cancelled," said Elphaba abandoning her lover and jumping up from the bed. In no time she was dressed, had her hair braided, and was flying down the stairs.
"Damn!" cursed Fiyero as he got up from the bed.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Where is she?" thought Glinda impatiently. "I've been knocking on this door for at least five minutes now! I'm about exhausted!"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Coming!" said Elphaba as she neared the door. "Where is Chistery?" she wonderd. The monkey was usually the one to answer the door.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Glinda was about ready to put all her remaining strength into banging on the door one last time when it opened.
"Elphie!" she cried with delight as she saw her old friend. Elphaba stood for a moment in shock and disbelief before slamming the door shut in Glinda's face.
"Elphie? Elphie! I know you're in there! I am hot, tired, and really irritated, so open this door immediately!" shouted Glinda banging on the door with ferocity.

Fiyero had just gotten dressed when Elphaba tore into the room. She quickly hauled out a suitcase and began shoving her personal items in it. She ran back and forth gathering up her scarves, dresses, cloaks, gloves, black pointed hat, and extra pair of boots without a word to Fiyero.
"Fae, what's wrong?" he asked in alarm.
"We have to go!" replied Elphaba curtly, not bothering to explain as she slammed the top of the suitcase down and closed it. She grabbed for her broom standing in the corner and was about to head out the window when she remembered the Grimmerie. Fiyero snatched it up before she could reach it.
"Elphaba what in hell's name is going on?"
"Fiyero, we have to leave now!" she ordered.
"Not until I know what's going on!" he said planting his feet firmly.
"Then give me the Grimmerie, so I can go!" she begged.
"Is it the Gale Force back? Madame Morrible escaped from prison? A rabid wild animal? Lurline's Witnesses?"
"No. It's Glinda," replied Elphaba taking the oppritunity to grab the Grimmerie from a stunned Fiyero.

AN: YAY! It's done! I'm on a roll today! Two chapters done and working on a third! Finally got where I want to be! Lurline is a book character for all of you who haven't read the book. Lurline's witnesses are Oz's equivalent of Jehovah's Witnesses; that's probably a bad playoff, but hey I think it's funny. Thanks so much to all those who've read and reviewed! It makes me very happy and inspired! Disclaimer in Ch. 1 so need to mention it here again. Much love to you all!
