(First: Thank you all for your great reviews. I really, really appreciate them. Second: I know that the chapters are short but that's just how I write... but on the plus side it will be updated all the more quickly! Yay!)
They were greeted by a man wearing black. In fact, he was wearing all black except for his white collar. He stretched out his hand and smiled brightly at them. Fiyero gave him his hand in return. "I've never seen the two of you before. I'm Father Granger, I'm the pastor of St. Elizabeth's and governor of Salem. Wonderful costumes, so intricate! I guess you're here to see the movie. Now I'll warn you there's gonna be a lot of young children here but they'll fall asleep pretty fast. Are you here to visit someone…for the season? Or are you planning on moving into town?" By the time he had finished speaking he had grabbed Elphaba's hand and was shaking it heartily. Elphaba was surprised by the man's warmness and hospitality. And the strange thing was that no one had noticed that she was green, at least they hadn't said anything about it. So far all they had received were compliments on their costumes. Fiyero's would come off but what were the people going to think when she stayed green? Elphaba had always been sensitive about her skin color but never as much as she was now. She took her hand back as politely as possible as Fiyero tried to answer the Father's questions.
"Yes. We are new to town. We're not sure if we're going to stay here, we're just visiting." Fiyero was always good at talking to people. Father Granger's smile broadened as he took a step to the side. "Well if you decide to stay come and see me. I'll help you out in anyway I can. In the meantime…Enjoy the show! Just follow the arrows and you should get there alright." Fiyero flashed a smile and a quick nod at him as they passed into the hall. Elphaba kept her eyes lowered as if she was embarrassed or afraid. After they had followed the arrows a little bit and were alone, Fiyero stopped and turned to Elphaba. "Fabala you should at least try to be friendly. No one knows us here, well at least not really."
"I know Yero, but it's difficult for me to be trusting, you know that."
"I'm not asking you to trust anyone, well except me of course." Fiyero gave her a big smile which caused her to smile in return. "I'm just asking you to be friendly."
"I'll try." She felt bad for not being a people person but she just couldn't help it. Her entire life she had been hurt and she was sick of it. They began to walk again and as they turned a corner and opened a door they were taken about by the number of children there were. Chairs had been set up and a large white blanket or blank poster had been hung up at the front of the hall. Elphaba squeezed Fiyero's hand as they plowed through the overwhelming number of little people to a set of empty chairs. As they sat down Elphaba looked at Fiyero, puzzled. "Yero they said that we're going to see a movie about us, but…What's a movie?" Fiyero looked at her and was surprised he hadn't thought to ask the same. "You know I have no idea. If it's about us then it must be some kind of story or play like Ozmania." He had taken his eyes off of her and was scanning the room as the lights began to flicker and go out. The pair looked around to see what had happened to the light but were distracted by the sudden loudness that came from behind them as a stream of pictures began to flash on the white thing ahead of them. Fiyero and Elphaba's mouths hung open as they watched in amazement.
