There's No Place Like Oz--Chapter Three
A week later…
"Elphaba, you'll never guess what happened today!" Fiyero exclaimed.
"And you'll never guess what happened to me!"
"You go first."
"Ok, so I was doing a little research, you know, for my skin, and I found out that… There's a whole book on counter curses for every skin color imaginable!"
"Really? So how long do you think it will take to be 'de-greenified'?"
"Probably about a month! Anyways, what's your exciting news?"
"They hired me!" He was referring to the dance studio that interviewed Fiyero four days ago. You see, he had always dreamed of being a dance teacher, or even owning his own studio… His motto had always been, "Dance through life!"
"Honey, that's great!"
"Oh and, I'll be home a lot more, since I will only be working 9 hours a day, instead of the obnoxiously long hours as a scarecrow."
"We'll be back in Oz so soon!"
"About that… There's one little problem…"
"Oh no."
"Since I thought it would take you a year to get that spell, I signed a contract, for a year."
"A year!"
"I'm so sorry, but there's no going back now."
"Okay… Well, maybe I can find a job after I'm de-greenified."
"Don't worry Elphaba, everything will work out." Fiyero was trying to be reassuring, but he was very disappointed, he wanted to return to Oz just as bad as his wife did.
"I hope so."
