He wasn't late. Not even by one second. He looked so adorable in his sweet suit!
"Are you ready?" He asked her
She grinned "As ready as I will ever be"
There was a lot of awkward silence but it was expected on a first dates... was this even date? Nessa was not so sure about that one. She looked down at the peculiar colored punch in hope of a conversation starter.
"Whats in the punch?" She said, pouring herself a cup
Boq read the label and said, in a humorous way "Lemons and melons and pears"
"Oh my!" was all Nessarose could say
Boq turned to her, returning to her, shy and bashful self
"Listen, Nessa."
Nessa looked up.. this seemed important
"Yes?"
UH - NESSA
I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO CONFESS, A
REASON WHY, WELL -
WHY I ASKED YOU HERE TONIGHT
NOW I KNOW IT ISN'T FAIR:
Nessa's heart dropped right there "Oh Boq, I know why"
He frowned "you do......"
IT'S BECAUSE I'M IN THIS CHAIR
AND YOU FELT SORRY FOR ME
WELL - ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
"No! No! It's because... because..." He stalled for a second, trying to find the right word
BECAUSE YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!
Nessa grinned from ear to ear. This moment was too beautiful for words!
OH, BOQ, I THINK YOU'RE WONDERFUL!
AND WE DESERVE EACH OTHER
DON'T YOU SEE, THIS IS OUR CHANCE?
WE DESERVE EACH OTHER
DON'T WE, BOQ?
"You know what" He grinned "Lets dance!"
Nessa looked at her wheelchair then gave Boq a look like he was crazy "What?!"
"Lets dance!" He said again, and wheeled her on to the dance floor
They danced clumsily, aware of what total geeks they looked like but did not care. It was the first fun night Nessa had. No one was making a big fuss over her.. she could be.... well, normal!
"That poor girl" Boq said "Nessa, look over there... aren't you her friend or something?"
Nessa looked over and saw her big sister, same clothes from an hour ago wearing that hat! The room was silent, many people giggled at her. She looked for a second like a deer caught in headlights.
"Oh no..." Nessa sighed
What Elphaba did next was even more horrible... She moved her arms in some weird "raver" motion. Probably trying to copy some move on OZM-TV. The popular music channel that she would watch sometime. It only made them laugh harder. She prayed that her sister would not burst into tears anytime soon. It was unlike her.. but this could break anyone!
"Thats my big sister" Nessa said softly
"I'm sorry..." Boq turned quickly "Oh wait... I didn't mean to say that! I just feel sorry for her, thats all"
Nessa nodded "You and me both"
Just before it could any worse she saw Galinda walk up to Elphaba.
"May I cut in?" Galinda asked and Elphaba simply nodded.
Galinda began to copy Elphaba's movements, throwing a little bit of hips into it. Elphaba did the same, which wasn't hard for her as she was a ballerina for 11 years of her life. A green ballerina and the funniest site ever! Nessa almost laughed thinking how her big sis could teach Galinda a thing or two about dancing. Since Galinda was doing the dance, everyone followed; Even Nessa and Boq got in on the fun! Soon the whole club looked like a rave! After it was done, Elphaba, Galinda and Fiyero collapsed in laughter and exhausment.
"See? Miss Elphaba is a skilled dancer. She just got shy" Galinda told her date "She studied ballet for 11 years"
Elphaba gasped in shock "Who in the world told you"
She linked her arm through Elphaba's "I have my sources! Now lets please get a drink! I'm parched!"
Nessarose turned over to Boq "Isn't Miss Galinda brilliant! Now Elphaba is a trendsetter" and with that she wheeled over to her big sis.
"Elphaba! It was wonderful!" Nessa exclaimed
"No" She exclaimed in a laugh Nessa had never heard from her in her life! "Goodness no!"
"I just think you should have done some twirls!"
Elphaba's eyes went wide at her sister "You!"
Nessa only smiled innocently "Oh calm down, its no big deal. So you're a ballerina. It won't be counted against you"
"I think its cool" Fiyero said, grinning
"Yes, you must demonstrate you skills for us, Elphaba" Galinda joined in on the fun too
Boq came up to join them.
"Hey there Biq!" Galinda exclaimed "Join in on the fun?"
Boq, who just really did not want to correct her right now just decided to take his second name. "Whats going on?"
"Its getting really boring...You wanna get out of here?" Fiyero asked them
"More than you know" Elphaba laughed "Please"
"I'm starved" Galinda added "I know a swankified burger place across the street"
"Its a date" Fiyero joked,as smooth as ever
"Let me get Miss Pfanee and Miss Shenshen and we are out of her"
And skipping like a fairy, Galinda was off. Fiyero and Elphaba talked while Nessa and Boq carried there own conversation. What they talked about, Nessa was not sure but she would occasionally look over at her sister's face. A look of warmness and happiness graced it and she had never seen her look so beautiful. Something about Fiyero brought this out in her... a crush? Or maybe just a sweet friendship? Nessa did not know and frankly she was more tied up in her own budding love life to worry much about her sister's.
