~A/N~ well I wrote so quickly today that nobody had a chance to review before I updated again . . . But thanks if you review anyway!
Elphaba made a silent list of all the reasons she hated the carriage ride: 1) it was ridiculously hot in the Vinkus so everyone was sweaty and Ayalynn was whiny. 2) Fiyero kept dozing off so she didn't have anyone to talk to or be comforted by. and 3) she couldn't read because Aya insisted of being held tightly. All in all she was thrilled when they arrived at Fiyero's castle.
They trio were greeted by Fiyero's parents as they stepped out of their carriage, and thankfully they didn't seemed phased at all by Elphaba's bizarre skin tone; they were overjoyed to need their granddaughter and the girl their son loved so much.
Liir and Haleja were both kind and generous people. They made sure that Elphaba was never uncomfortable in the castle, and showed her their extensive library. All in all it was fairly easy to tell them the news of the engagement.
"Mom? Dad?" Fiyero walked into his parents study, pulling Elphaba along (and Elphaba was holding Ayalynn).
"In here darling!" Haleja called from the lounge area in the back.
"Hello!" Fiyero greeted when the walked towards the sofas where his parents sat.
The pair sat down opposite the Vinkus King & Queen and Elphaba nervously stroked her daughters short black curls.
Fiyero squeezed Elphaba's band and turned to his parents, "We have something to tell you."
His parents exchange a warm smile and Fiyero continued, "Fae and I are engaged!"
Haleja jumped up and began hugging her son and future daughter-in-law in a very un-regal manner, "Thats great!"
"Congratulations to you both," Liir said as he hugged them also.
"Thanks," Elphaba said, slightly in a daze.
The rest of the time in Vinkus passed in a blur before Galinda, Boq and Nessarose arrived, then the fun began.
~A/N~ Fiyero's mom's name is pronounced Hal - (like the 'al' in calendar) A - (like a bushel of hay) Ja (like 'jam').
Short chapter . . . But the story isn't over yet!
