IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Morning came too quickly for Glinda and she lay in bed willing the past nights events to

Elphaba looked over at the blond. "You're awake?"

"I hope not," She whispered, frowning.

Elphaba pulled the blond on top of her. She sought out her lips with her own. "This doesn't have to end yet." She whispered kissing her again this time deeper letting her tongue trace Glinda's lips.

Glinda melted immediately and opened her mouth to let Elphie's tongue move inside.

Dragging her fingers lazily up Glinda's back the green girl tangled her fingers into the mass of blond. She explored the depths of Glinda's mouth before pulling back for air. "I love you." She whispered breathlessly.

"I love you too," Glinda sighed hazily and kissed Elphaba's neck gently, "I always will."

Elphaba groaned as the blond nipped at her neck. "If you keep doing that we are never going to leave."

"I don't want to leave this," She kissed Elphaba again, softer this time.

"We have to get started on the day." She whispered. "I want to get in with the Wizard."

"I know," She breathed heavily and shook slightly but pushed herself up so that she was straddling Elphie and sighed, "What do we need to do?"

Elphaba gently stroked Glinda's hips. "You are making this impossible!" She groaned

"I'm sorry," Glinda answered but didn't move.

"Still not helping," Elphaba said trying to move, bad idea. Her hips connected with Glinda's and she froze. "Sorry." She mumbled blushing.

"That's okay," She slipped off of Elphaba and dangled her legs over the side of the bed, "So where do we start?"

"I didn't say you had to get off." Elphaba said propping herself on her elbow openly gazing at Glinda in just her underclothes. "I suppose I'll go and talk to him...see what I can bargain for."

Glinda frowned, spotting the flaw in the seemingly easy plan, "You? What about me?"

"You can wait here. It will be safer and I'll feel much better knowing that you are safe."

"Oh...okay," She stared at her fingers, entwining them with each other, "What if you don't come back?"

"I will come back, I promise," She knelt down in front of the girl. "I will come back to you always." Elphaba pulled the girl into her arms. "I love you Glinda."

"I love you Elphie, more then anything. I wouldn't forgive myself if something happened to you."

"Nothing will happen to me I'm just going to talk with him and then I'll come right back to you. Okay?"

"Okay," She whispered into Elphaba's raven hair and shut her eyes tight.

Elphaba kissed her lips and pulled away. She put on her dress and then her cloak. "I'll be back soon." She said moving towards the window.

"Alright," She watched as Elphaba descended from the sill and moved to put her dress on, it was filthy but it was all she had.

It only took Elphaba about a half an hour to get into the Wizards palace. She ignored the guard's instructions to be polite knowing her way she blew thought the door broom in hand. "Where is the Wonderful Wizard of Oz?" She screamed.

A confused Wizard poked his head around the side of his throne, "Ah! Elphaba I thought it might be you!" He walked out, hands behind his back with a grin on his face, "What can I do for you today? Or have you only come to run off again?"

"What did you do to her! Did you poison her? Or do you know a little magic of your own?" She asked pacing in front of him.

"What are you tal- Oh the girl," He nodded and rolled back onto the heels of his feet, "I thought you might take off, needed a reason to get you back here didn't' I?"

"How dare you use her to get to me," Elphaba screamed. "She is innocent in this mess; this is between you and me."

The Wizard shrugged and messed with his mustache, "Got you here didn't it? Now there is a reason for your visit I presume?"

"I want you to leave us alone! And for you to leave the animals be. They are not harming anything."

"Well that's harder then it might sound Elphaba," He sighed, "You could come in handy as my magic grand visor, but I suppose you're not interested."

Elphaba bit her lip. This was her dream but she couldn't want this any more. "No. I'm not."

"Well then," He sighed taking a step back, "I assume we have no further reason for this meeting, and I'll let my guards escort you out," With a wave of his hand he summoned his guards to take the woman away.

"No! You need to get them to stop harassing us! You could have killed her don't you understand that? Killed?" Elphaba yelled

"That wasn't my intention Elphaba but really you might want to get back to that doctor you found for the girl, before something happens on accident."

"What!" Elphaba asked her eyes widening. "If you hurt her I will kill you!" She said before running from the room. The doctor's office wasn't quite a mile from the palace. Running as fast as she could she made it in about five minutes.

Glinda was currently soaking in the tub the Doctor had been kind enough to let her use.

Her eyes were closed and a smile graced her pale face as she lay letting the water calm her nerves.

Elphaba knocked at the door instead of using the window. She figured it would be easier to explain then having the doctor walking in on them.

Glinda rose gracefully from the tub, water sliding off of her body and wrapped a towel around her. It was good to be clean again.

The doctor let her in looking at her oddly but then remembering what the girl had said asking about the person how brought her in. He said she was in the bathroom Elphaba thanked him and walked in without even thinking.

Glinda screamed, not expecting to be walked in on, tripped over the bath tub and fell in again. She pulled her head above water and gasped for air, "At least shut the door!"

Elphaba just stared. "Oh...I'm...I'm sorry." She said before shutting the door behind her.

The blonde shook her head and wiped her sopping hair out of her face and stood again, the towel was floating around in the water so she grabbed another and wrapped it around her small frame, "I'm glad you're back, I'd hug but obviously I can't."

"I'm so sorry." Elphaba said again being able to tear her eyes away from the blond and turned her back.

She laughed and wrung her hair out over the tub, "You didn't have to turn around you know."

"I...um just wanted to give you some privacy." She stammered

Drying off her arms, face and hands completely she turned her friend around and kissed her gently, "How did it go?"

"Ummm...Not good." She traced Glinda's skin with her hand before lowering her mouth to her collar bone.

Glinda moaned despite herself and slapped a hand to her mouth, remembering that they were not the only ones in the house.

"I really like you in just a towel." She commented

The blonde laughed and stroked Elphaba's cheek with her thumb, smiling, "Easier access?"

"Much." She whispered her mouth became bolder and moved to the line of the towel.

The light green eyes shut carefully, "I love you."

"Me too." She whispered pulling the blond close. "I need to tell you something...you're not going to like it."

"What is it?" Glinda whispered.

"Ummm..." Elphaba began pacing. "The Wizard...he said...I think he threatened you. I didn't get anywhere with him if all I made it worse."

"Threatened me?" Glinda turned her back to Elphaba and traded in her towel for her gown, she slipped it on and began to button up the back, "What do you mean?"

"Umm...He said...that if I didn't hurry back something might accidentally happen to you and he also admitted to poisoning you."

The blonde's pale arms fell to her sides, her mouth opening, "That bastard! He didn't hurt you did he?"

"No. He didn't hurt me it's you I'm worried about."

"Well you don't think the doctor's in on it do you? I mean he had plenty of opportunity to hurt me before now."

"No...At least I don't think. But we can't take any chances. We need to leave as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'm ready whenever you are," Glinda moved to Elphaba and kissed her softly.

"I hate to take you out of here. I don't know where we are going to go."

"I'm fine as long as I'm with you."

Elphaba bit her lip. "Okay..." She grabbed her broom and cloak. "Let's go."

"Will we fit?" Glinda stared at the broom for a moment, "Not to be negative..."

"Yeah, we should but we can't fly now it's still light out. Will find a room and I'll figure out what to do next."

Glinda walked over to the window and pushed it open, luckily this was on the first floor, "Shall we then?"

Elphaba nodded. She jumped out of the window and turned to help Glinda down. They began walking towards the better part of town looking for a hotel. "I want something a little better than that place we stayed at last time. We have just enough money for a room and a meal tonight."

The blonde stared, her head turning this way and that looking at all the different buildings and people of the city, "Oh Elphie look!" She pointed to a hotel about a block down the street. It was painted emerald green and had crystalline windows and a fountain with a swan in the front, "Oh it's beautiful."

Elphaba looked at the expensive hotel and back at Glinda. She saw how her eyes were shining. "How about if we stay there tonight?" She asked

"Really! Can we afford it?"

"I'll find a way." Elphaba said grabbing her hand and pulling her towards the building.

Glinda bit her lip and giggled as they entered the hotel. Another fountain took up most of the main lobby and a desk sat around one of the walls, "May I help you?" The man behind the counter smiled.

"Umm yes." Elphaba said walking forward. "We would like a room please."

"Regular or...Suite," He looked past Elphaba and saw Glinda who was sitting by the fountain looking around.

"Umm...how much more is the suite?" She asked him following his gaze

"The smaller ones are ten more then usual, depending on how big you want the rooms to be it can go up to 2000," His gaze snapped back to Elphaba.

"Two thousand dollars!"

"Yes miss, but like I said the smaller suites aren't that much."

"Two thousand dollars!" Elphaba gasped looking at the man as if he had gone mad.

"How much will twenty extra get me?"

"A suite with a living room/kitchen area and a bedroom with, alas, one bed," He smirked and waited for her reaction, "The couch is a pull out though."

Elphaba smiled back at him. "Oh we won't need the pull out." She said handing him the money exchanging it for keys.

He frowned and watched her walk away, the beautiful blonde girl trailing after her.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Wow," Glinda sighed when they entered the room, "This is so nice!"

"I'm glad you like it." Elphaba said grabbing the blond and picking her up into her arms. "It's ours for a full 12 hours."

The blonde giggled and kicked the door shut with her foot, it locked automatically, "Thank you."

"Anything for you," Elphaba said walking into the bedroom and laying Glinda on to the bed. "You could probably wash your dress in the bathroom. It has a tub." Elphaba said climbing on top of the blond.

"Well I'd have to take if off first wouldn't I?"

"I suppose you would." Elphaba whispered. She moved so she was kneeling next to Glinda she sat her up and began to undo the many, many buttons that kept the small blond contained. After every second button that was undone Elphaba replaced it with a soft kiss until she had donned her entire back with kisses. She slowly slipped the dress off her shoulders for the blond to step out of.

Glinda slipped gracefully out of the gown and turned to straddle Elphie's legs and kiss her deeply. "We should make good use of this room while we have it," She whispered.

Elphaba felt Glinda's hand begin to move lower and lower. She gently pushed her back. "Are you sure about this?" She asked.

She nodded, "I'm sure."

Glinda smiled and removed her slip, tossing it to the side as she leaned in to kiss Elphaba again. "But I have to ask...do you want this too?"

"I want to...I really do but..." Elphaba screamed into her hands. "I don't know what is holding me back."

"It's okay," Glinda smiled and pressed her forehead to Elphaba's, "We don't have to. Just being with you is enough."

Elphaba sighed and pushed Glinda off of her. She went to the large window and looked out over the bustling city.

"You're leaving me aren't you," The small quavering voice was almost lost, even in the silence of the room. She pulled her slip back on and lay back against the pillows.

"No...I..." Elphaba sighed it seemed the only way. How could she make Glinda go through this with her? If she did it would only hurt her she would realize that this was not what she wanted and leave. This was no life for a person like Glinda.

"Don't make this harder Elphie, please. You know and I know that this won't work," She fought tears back silently for a moment and then let them loose. Glinda knew she never wanted to leave but it just wouldn't work out, they would be found out sooner or later and she didn't think she could bear that.

"I want this to work more than I want life itself can't you see that!" Elphaba yelled. "But it won't work I don't know how to make it work. I just don't know!" Elphaba screamed breaking down. Her knees gave out from under her and she went crashing to the floor.

The blond leapt from the bed and ran to Elphaba's side, "I know shh, it's all right I know. This isn't your fault Elphie, please don't blame yourself." She pulled the shaking woman into her lap and held her, rocking her back and forth gently.

"Why? I don't understand why?" She looked up into the deep green eyes she loved so much. "I never want to forget you. I want to memorize every detail about you."

"Then don't forget me," Glinda sobbed, "Don't let me go!"

Elphaba pressed her lips to Glinda's. "I want to know...I need to know everything about you. What makes you moan, scream, what makes you laugh, the scariest moment of your life...everything. I have to know."

"You really want to know?" She answered still crying, she accepted a nod for a response and shuddered, "You. The answer to all of those things is you. I love you so much, more then anything I've ever had, or seen or anyone I've ever known, and I would give anything just to be with you forever!"

"Show me."

Glinda's breath hitched in her throat. "What?"

"Show me how much you love me." Elphaba whispered.

The blond locked eyes with the woman before her. She leaned forward slowly and kissed Elphaba with such passion, such love she thought she may die because of it.

Elphaba accepted her and gently lay back on the floor. "Anything you want Glinda it is yours." Elphaba whispered as the blond kissed her neck.

In turn she pulled her slip off again, now only clad in her pink satin underwear she lifted Elphaba's torso and began to unbutton the dress as she painted the woman's face with kisses. Finally when all but a few items of clothing had been removed Glinda sat back and laughed at herself, "I've never done this before."

"Neither have I." Elphaba said looking up and Glinda. As soon as their lips meant, all awkwardness left. Elphaba's hands entwined themselves in her hair, and her passion for the blond grew with each passing second. The brunette's hand slid down her side, gently caressing her soft skin. Everything seemed perfect at the moment in time.

Glinda moaned at the touch and whispered, "Please?"

The green girl was determined to take them both away from the world they were in. She held her gaze again for a moment before she made slow, passionate love to her. Time seemed to slow to nothing but a trickle as the two bodies pressed together. Soft whispers and moans of the others name only seemed to fuel the passion. As they both reach their heights, the fact of coming back down seemed to hard to accept. The strength to move seemed to have been swept away in the waves of pleasure that washed over their bodies. Elphaba barley caught herself before she collapsed onto the smaller woman. She rolled over keeping the blond with her so her body was still pressing into hers.

Glinda breathed slowly and deeply, still reveling in what had just happened and praying it wasn't a dream. "That was amazing Elphie," She smiled to herself and nuzzled into her lovers chest.

Nodding slightly, her hands continued to explore the body that she hoped one day that she would be more known to. "I've never felt that before." She whispered snuggling into the mattress below her.

But Glinda didn't hear her, a smile still played across her lips as Glinda slept, contentedly, on Elphaba's body.

Elphaba looked down at the sleeping form. She didn't' know if she had it in her to leave this woman. She was everything she could ever want but how was she going to walk away? She groaned she would worry about that in the morning but right now she wanted to join Glinda in sleep.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Glinda woke early the next morning and felt around for Elphaba. She wasn't there. The blonde panicked and bolted out of bed and into the living room, looking around frantically.

Suddenly the door opened and closed and Elphaba entered. "Hey." She said setting down her bag I hoped to be back before you got up."

"Oh," Glinda rushed forward and hugged Elphaba tight, "I thought you might have left."

"No darling." Elphaba said holding her tightly. "I love the lack of clothing." Elphaba said kissing her.

"I'm glad," She smiled and stepped back to go put on her slip, "Be right back."

"You don't have to change you know." Elphaba said going to the small refrigerator in the room and pulling out an apple.

Glinda bounced back into the room, "Did you say something?"

"Never mind," Elphaba smiled. She sat down on the couch. "Did you sleep well?" She asked opening her arms so Glinda could sit in her lap.

The woman took the opportunity to fall into the open arms and grinned, "Wonderfully."

"Good." She pulled the blond onto her chest. "Last night was...beyond amazing, thank you."

"I aim to please," She whispered and shut her eyes.

"Why don't you take a bath in that wonderful tub, I have a surprise for you when you get out, okay?"

"Oookay," Glinda slid off of Elphaba's lap and scurried into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her, "God I love her," She muttered as she filled the tub.

Elphaba went to her bag. She pulled out the single train ticket that she had bought but she stuffed it away, that would come later. Instead she reached in and pulled out a box. She had spent every last dime she had to buy this but she knew it was worth it.

It was almost a half an hour before Elphaba heard Glinda stand from the bath. She wiped her now clammy palms on her dress and took a seat before abruptly standing again and pacing.

Glinda came out of the bathroom fully dressed but messing with a tear in her skirt, "I don't know when that happened."

Elphaba blushed. "Some time last night I'm sure." She looked around the room. "Umm...Glin can you sit down for a minute?'

She frowned at Elphaba but sat anyway.

"Umm...I'm not very good at things like this..." She nervously played with her hair. "Last night...these past few weeks have been the best of my life. And last night...it was the most amazing ever. I love you Glinda so much and I want you to always remember that, no matter what happens." She knelt down in front of the blond and pulled the box out. "I want you to have this, every time you look at it I want you to remember how strong our love for another is." She gently opened it to reveal an expensive looking silver chain, at the end hung a brilliant emerald that sparkled in the sunlight.

"Oh Elphie it's gorgeous," She picked up the chain and let the light hit it casting green sparkles across the walls, "Thank you. I take it this means you are leaving though?"

"You'll be safer this way Glinda." Elphaba whispered.

"As long as you don't say goodbye...that would break my heart," Glinda blinked, tears falling gently from her eyes and looked at Elphaba.

"I'll find you again I promise I will Glinda."

She nodded silently and slipped on the necklace, "I know you will."

"We still have a few hours before we have to leave." She said rubbing her thumb in a circle over Glinda's thigh.

The blonde patted the seat next to her and sighed, "Where are you going? What are you going to do?"

"I don't know. I guess I'll fight the Wizard...it will be the only way to be free." She said laying her head in Glinda's lap.

"Don't you wish life was simple?" Glinda brushed Elphaba's hair out of her face and smiled down at the woman.

"Sometimes, but it was simple would it still be as exciting?" Elphaba took Ginda's hand and kissed it. "Will you marry Fiyero?"

The blonde felt her heart twist, "I-...I don't know actually."

"Yes you do. He will ask and you will accept and you'll lead a perfectly normal life. It's what you are destined to do. Just think how happy your mother will be."

Glinda sighed, "I don't want a normal life. I want what my father wanted for me, adventure and," She sighed, "More then just a house-wifes life."

"You'll be the queen of Oz, you'll have all of the dresses you ever wanted, your entire bedroom will be done in pink, everything you ever wanted."

"How in Oz can you still think that's what I want?" She whispered.

"What else can you want? You can have it all Glinda, everything you ever wanted."

"I just want to be with you, I don't care what that means, it's what I want," She sighed heavily and shut her eyes, gripping Elphaba's hand in her own.

"I want that too." She whispered softly.

"Then why do you have to go?"

"Because I can't let you get hurt and that is what will happen if you come with me." Elphaba said sitting up.

"You'll come back? Please?"

"I will come back for you. But...I'm sure when I do you'll have a house full of kids and want nothing to do with the green girl you once knew." Elphaba said in a shaky voice.

Glinda just stared at her, and then took a deep breath, "Don't say that. I will always love you."

"And I'll always love you." She pressed her lips to the other girls. "Always."

Tears graced Glinda's pale face once more and she wiped them away, "I have cried more this past week then in my entire life. It was worth it."

"Let me show you...one more time. Please." Elphaba said taking Glinda's face in her hands.

She nodded silently and smiled, "Okay."

"Just okay?" Elphaba asked lowering her face to Glinda's exposed chest

The blonde laughed, "How does 'Yay' sound?"

"Getting closer." Elphaba whispered pulling the blonde's slip down to expose her breast.

"Then how does screaming for you sound?" She whispered, she could feel Elphaba's breath on her chest.

Elphaba blushed. "Sounds a lot like what you where doing last night."

Glinda nodded and kissed Elphaba's forehead softly, "Anything you want is yours."

"Be careful what you say." She dipped her head lower and heard Glinda gasp.

Her pale back smacked into the back of the couch but she didn't care, all she could handle comprehending was the enormous pleasure that was seeping through her body.
"Oh," She sighed quietly and shut her eyes not trusting herself to see things for what they were.

Elphaba sucked harder her other hand moving to stroke Glinda's thigh. "You look like an angel." She whispered moving her hand dangerously down ward.

Glinda moaned and managed to spit out a sentence before gasping for air, "I didn't know angels did things like this!"

"Oh believe me they do." Elphaba moved so she was kneeling on the floor in front of the blond. "Move forward." She demanded pulling the blonde's slip.

She did so and moaned as she felt Elphaba move herself into her body, "Oh Elphie."
Elphaba gasped at the sounds that Glinda was making. She threaded her free hand into Glinda's fingers.

Glinda squeezed Elphaba's hand tightly as she felt herself grow tighter and tighter. She reached her peak and called out to her lover as she slumped back onto the couch breathing heavily and gasping for air. Glinda came down slowly, unwinding as Elphaba kissed her gently, "Lurline I love you," She whispered.

Elphaba claimed her mouth again. "I don't know how I could have been so blind to this before." She whispered pulling a way.

"Don't leave me not yet," She sighed and kissed Elphaba again.

Elphaba moaned into the kiss and pressed her hips into Glinda's thigh. "Not yet."

"Whatever you want," came the soft voice, "Just say the word."

"I want you." Elphaba whispered. "Please Glinda."

Glinda rolled so that her small frame lay on top of Elphaba. She kissed her hard before planting tiny kisses all along the emerald skin, she moved lower and lower, going at a tantalizingly slow pace, all while keeping her hand entwined with Elphaba's.

Elphaba moaned. "I need you Glin, please." She whispered breathless moving her hips against the blond.

She took her cue and moved into Elphaba, going in a little deeper each time and reveling in the sounds she was rewarded with in return.

Elphaba screamed out for Glinda holding her as tightly as she came. She buried her face into Glinda's neck and breathed in her sent. "I love you." She murmured into the soft skin.

"I love you too Elphie...so so much," She whispered breathlessly.

An hour later Elphaba had fallen into a gentle sleep underneath Glinda completely content while the blonde lay awake, watching her lover breathe and praying that when she woke, she would stay. Though she knew the prayers would fall on deaf ears, she felt she had to try.

Elphaba felt eyes on her and she slowly opened her eyes. "Hey." She mumbled rubbing her eyes.

"Hi," Glinda whispered smiling and stroking the woman's hair, "Sleep well?"

"Wonderful." Elphaba pulled her down in to a long kiss that involved a lot of getting reacquainted with Glinda's tongue. When she finally pulled back she sighed, her hand gently tracing a path up and down Glinda's torso.

"I guess this was just," She sighed and looked down at the hand on her waist, "The perfect way to say goodbye?"

Elphaba squeezed her eyes shut but the tears leaked through anyway. "I don't want to." She whispered. "You have to believe me that I don't want to."

"I know you don't, but you're right, we have to do this. Life is full of things we don't want to do...right?" The blonde wiped away Elphaba's tears silently and kissed her cheek.

Elphaba nodded and looked with blurry eyes for the clock, it read fifteen to twelve. She looked back and Glinda and fingered the necklace. "This fits you...it matches your eyes." She whispered.

Glinda smiled, "Thank you again. When do you leave?"

"I don't leave, your leaving." Elphaba said sitting up.

Glinda sat bolt upright, "What? I mean I guess that makes sense but I can't go back there what will I tell everyone?"

"You'll tell them that I kidnapped you and forced myself onto you, that will explain the welts all over your neck, and then you escaped from me." Elphaba said standing naked while rummaging around for her clothes. "Give them two weeks and they will find something else to talk about."

"How can you even consider asking me to lie about you? After all this?"

"You have to deny me if you want to live a half way normal life."

The blonde let tears escape her eyes again before going to the bedroom to change, shutting the door quietly behind her. She slumped down against the hard wood, buried her face in her hands and cried like she had never cried in her life.

Elphaba's shoulders slumped her heard Glinda's sobbing and felt as if she would pass out. She quickly crossed the bedroom and placed her hand on the knob and stopped. She knew if she went to her now she would never leave her so she did the hardest thing she ever did in her life. She turned and walked away. She gathered her things and finished getting dressed. She pulled the train ticket out of her pocket and laid it on the table where Glinda would find it. It was for the two O'clock.

She stumbled on the way to the door. Yanked it open and never looked back. When she got down to the street she moved quickly to a dark alley and threw up.

When Glinda emerged a little while later, her dress on straight, her hair up elegantly she found Elphaba was no where in the room. She sighed and picked the ticket up off the table, she had no tears left; nothing she could do would stop either of them now. The woman took all she had a small pouch, her cloak and a ticket and headed to the station, never looking back.

"Miss?" A harsh voice pulled her from her thoughts, "Miss can I have your ticket before you board?"

"Oh...yes," She handed the ticket to the man, forced a smile and climbed onto the train. At the first empty compartment she stopped and sat down, looking out the window at all the people saying goodbye, "Until we meet again," She whispered and she kissed her fingers and blew it towards the heavens, hoping it would find the woman she knew she could never forget.

Elphaba had managed to drag herself to the station to see the two o'clock train off. She watched as Glinda boarded. She made her way towards the window seat the girl had taken and stood on a small lip in the car so she brought herself eye level with the blond. She gently knocked on the window to get the girls attention.

Glinda jumped and turned to the window, she clapped a hand to her mouth to stifle her sob and pressed her other hand against the cool glass, "I love you," She whispered.

"I love you too." She mouthed back. "Open the window." She said pointing to the latch.

She fumbled with the latch for a moment and swung the window open, "I didn't...I didn't think you'd come."

"Shhh..." Elphaba whispered before pulling Glinda's mouth to hers. She kissed her with long wet kisses not caring that there was a crowd gathering. She refused to let go for the blond's mouth.

The train lurched suddenly, wrenching the pair apart. Glinda touched Elphaba's face gently and smiled, "I love you and I'll never forget you. We'll see each other again, I promise," And with that last word the horn blared and the train took off from the station, splitting them apart for seven years. But she was right, they would see each other again, and things would be better then, she was sure of it.

TBC…
