How I Know You
A/N: Ok, I read almost all of the book 'Wicked,' but right at the point where Elphaba is getting her monkey (forgot his name) to say spirit, my stepsister caught me reading it (it was her copy, the only one the library had, and I can't get a job till I'm 16, so I can't buy one...) and made me stop. I've also heard most of the soundtrack, since she was in the chorus for school and needed to learn the songs. So, since I'm obsessed with Aida (for those of you who don't know, it's also a musical), I decided to do a crossover thingy with Boq and Elphaba, using the song, "How I Know You." Here goes. I'll also include the reprisal.
Note: the singer is in bold, the lyrics are normal. Also, if you don't know the tune, look up Aida, Adam Pascal, Heather Headley, Tim Rice, and/or Elton John.
Boq:
We grew up together
At least began to grow
As you became a loner
I gave up hope to know
You always ran away from me
I never got the chance
To ask you why you feared the sea
Or why we weren't friends
How I know you
How I know you
Long before our paths met
I had always enjoyed
My life, it was sedated
And I had only toyed
With the ideals of romance
I'd never really asked
The questions that you put to me
(A/N: the last line doesn't follow my rhyming pattern, please excuse it.)
I always hoped they masked
That you liked me
That you liked me
Elphaba:
You must have imagined all that
And don't say anymore
'Cause now that we're both students here
My childhood is no more
Boq:
I never have forgotten
And nor, I think, have you
Those happy childhood memories
None ever will subdue
Elphaba:
But please, don't tell my secrets
Say we've never met
Boq:
No, I remain as your friend
You cannot deny that!
Elphaba:
You don't know me
Boq:
Yes, I know you –
Elphaba:
You don't know me!
Boq:
How I know you,
How I know you.
Ok, that's it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Aida, or Wicked.
Note: This scene takes place in the book (not sure about the musical), where Boq recognizes Elphaba, and she is embarrassed/upset about the incident.
