(NOTE): I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been busy with exams. I also apologize for the grammer (since it seems to bother some people). English isn't my best subject.:) This isn't much, but I know what I want to happen. I'm just having a difficult time writing it out. But believe me, stuff will get going in the next chapter...that is when the attempt for Glinda's rescue will take place! But for now...a little enticement!

Elphaba's eyes opened as she felt a hand slightly nudge her. She heard a voice saying her name a looked up to see Fiyero standing over her. She groaned.

"Yero, how long has it been?"

"A couple hours. I'm sorry, Fae, but the sun is just rising and we need to find another place to stay. I know they haven't found us yet, but this would be one of the first places they would look." She nodded as she sat up.

"Where's Chistery?"

"Chistery here, Mistress!" Chistery said as he flew near her.

"Chistery, if you're not too tired, could you please fly around the mountains and see if there is another cave somewhere?" Chistery nodded and flew out of the cave. Fiyero grinned.

"Send the monkey, huh? Hmm, wish I'd thought of that." Elphaba suddenly frowned as she saw the basket Fiyero was holding.

"Has he eaten anything?" Fiyero nodded.

"I gave him some fruit and nuts. But here" he put the basket next to her and sat down "you should eat something, too." She smiled gratefully and pulled out an apple.

"Thanks." she said before taking a bite. Fiyero shrugged.

"Eh...what would you do without me?" He flinched as she brought her hand up, expecting a playful slap. To his suprise, she placed it on his face lovingly.

"You're right." she whispered "What would I do without you?" She leaned forward and kissed him. He deepened the kiss by pulling her closer, snaking an arm around her waist. The kiss broke as they heard Chistery come screeching in.

"People coming!" he screeched "Men who take Fiyero coming with more people! But cave nearby! Mistress and Fiyero must hurry!"

"How far are they?" Fiyero demanded, as he and Elphaba quickly stood "How long do we have?"

"Not long! Come! Chistery show you cave! Come!"

"We'll come back for the stuff later." Elphaba said as she stuffed the apple back in the basket and grabbed the rest of her things. "Hurry, Fiyero, get your broom. Show us the cave, Chistery." Chistery nodded and flew out of the cave, Elphaba and Fiyero quickly following behind on their brooms.

Chistery led them to a hidden cave on the other mountain. The mouth was a narrow sliver that led to a wide interior. Elphaba was satisfied with the inside, but she was worried about the entrance. It was just big enough for them to enter if they turned sideways, but she doubted they would be able to fit the furniture in. Well, I suppose the furniture isn't that important she thought. But...how am I going to fit myself when I start to show? She shrugged these thought off as she tiredly sat against the wall. Fiyero walked over near her and spread the bedroll out.

"I grabbed this on the way out." he said "You're still tired. I can tell. Try and get some more sleep." He turned to Chistery "In fact, let's all get some sleep. I think we're really going need it."But Chistery shook his head.

"Chistery not sleepy. Chistery keep look out. Mistress and Fiyero sleep now."Fiyer grinned and shook his head as he watched the monkey scamper out.

"Well," he said toElphaba "I guess it's just you and me now." Fiyero smiled as he made his way over toher. He leaned in to kiss her, but she held her fingers over his lips.

"Yero," she said seriously"we have to try to get Glinda out...tonight."

"TONIGHT!"

"Yero, I just can't stand it any longer! Who knows what the Wizard has done to her?"

"Elphaba, we don't even know where she's being held!"

"She's being held in the dugeons. Not the Palace one, the City one. In the same cell she had put Morrible in. Inchea told me.Look, I've had an idea of how we're going to get her out. I just hadn't told you yet. All we need is a Gale Forcer's uniform. You put it on and carry me into the prison like a prisoner. Then we find Glinda and get her out."

"How? Howwill we get her out?" Elphaba stayed silent. That was the only thing she hadn't figured out.

"I...I was hoping you would know. You were the Captain after all." Fiyero sighed.

"Well,...actually, I think I do know how. There's a secret back entrance that is only known to the captains.You see, years ago the prisoners once revolted against the guards. It took months for the Force to reclaim the dugeons, so the Wizard secretly ordered a hidden escape to be built in case that ever happened again. But...Elphaba, tonight? Shouldn't we think this out more?"

"Please, Fiyero. I need to get Glinda out of there. I would do the same for you." Fiyero sighed again and kissed her cheek.

"Ok. I still don't like it, but I guess there's no stopping you.But we'll do it together. But for now, lets get some rest."

"DAMN!" Bongar shouted "They're not here!" Fresbin shrugged.

"Maybe they knew we were coming?"

"SHUT UP, YOU IDIOT! This is all YOUR fault! You should have grabbed her when you had the chance! We could have been rollin in cash right now! But, no! You had to let her escape!"

"How did you even know it was the real witch?" a person asked.

"Yeah" someone else said "I thought it was a costume party. It could've been just someone dressed up like the witch."

"No, it was the real witch." Bongar said "Everyone who was there will swear they saw her turn Lady Rhesilva into a peacock."

"I thought it was a Peacock?" Fresbin said.

"Whatever. But, anyway, she did. And I swear to all of Oz, that I will find and capture her and bring her to our Wonderful Wizard of Oz! Even if I have to travel throughout all of Oz! So who's with me!" He grinned as he heard shouts of agreement.

"WE WILL FIND HER!" they shouted "WILL WE FIND HER AND BRING HER TO THE WIZARD!
