Authors note: When I'm writing this story I picture Fiyero looking like Sebastian Arcelus! He's playing Fiyero on Broadway right now, and he was also on the touring company for Wicked! I think he is the best Fiyero!

Chapter 9: It's Monday

The sun peaked through Fiyeros small dorm room window. The light beamed in Elphaba's tired eyes. She sat up on the bed and rubbed her eyes and looked at the clock. It was eight thirty in the morning and it was Monday. Elphaba sighed and looked at Fiyero's sleeping form. He truly was a good-looking man. Elphaba had never really taken the time to look at him and admire his features. Sometimes she couldn't believe that a man that beautiful would want to be with her. He had the most flawless cheekbones, his lips were fuller than hers and when he smiled he lit up the room. His eyes were enduring but secretive, they were also a unique shade of blue, almost turquoise. Then his hair, oh his hair! His hair was as beautiful maybe even more beautiful than Glinda's. Elphaba was in a trance; she couldn't draw her eyes away from Fiyero. She then inattentively began stroking his chest while admiring him. Elphaba had never admired a man like this. Actually, she'd never really admired a man ever. Not even her father, Frex. Fiyero was different. She'll admit that at first he seemed arrogant and brainless. She read him all wrong then. He wasn't arrogant he was just confident in himself, something she lacked. Then there was the way he was with her. He loved her and that she could not fathom, she knew she loved him as well but why did he love her? He said the night before that he's loved her since the day the Lion Cub was brought to Shiz and they rescued it together. That was the only time they really conversed with each other before Glinda left for his birthday weekend. When they did rescue the cub, he seemed insecure. She remembered clearly that he said, "I happen to be generally self-centered and deeply shallow" and when she said "No you're not, or else you wouldn't be so unhappy." He backed away from her then as though realizing that she was right. Was I the one who convinced Fiyero he was unhappy with Glinda? That still didn't answer her question of how he was in love with her. Was it love at first sight? No. Maybe she accidentally cast a spell on him. It all seemed too fishy to Elphaba, and she wanted to find out, she was going to talk to Madame Morrible about it. All this thinking about Fiyero left Elphaba in a state of uneasiness. Once Fiyero began to awaken she promised herself she wouldn't let him see that she was distressed. Elphaba smiled and ran her fingers through his riled up dirty blonde curls. He had a bad the case of Bed Head. He opened his eyes and smiled sleepily at Elphaba.

"Hey baby…" He trailed into a yawn.

"Baby?" Laughed Elphaba, "Please never call me that again, it sounds so weird." She made a grossed out face at Fiyero.

"Fine. Hey Hunny bunny, sweetie, pookie or lovie dovie…I can go on! Choose your favorite."

"Hmm…"

"Fabala, Elphaba, Elphie or Fae…what do you want me to call you? Better tell me soon or I'm sticking with Baby." He rambled on playfully.

"I like Fae…"

"Ah…Fae, yeah I can see that." He put both his thumb and index fingers together to make a picture frame. He pretended to frame her face his hands. "Fae…yeah it suits you just fine!"

"You're such a nerd."

"That's absurd!"

"Now you're rhyming?"

"Anything you say, Fae! Who went down by the bay to eat on some hay. Then saw a handsome prince and said 'hey, come lay on this hay with me today…" Fiyero continued to rhyme ridiculously, and Elphaba was laughing uncontrollably and flopped herself on top of Fiyero. Fiyero began to tickle her unmercifully.

"Fiyero stop!" Elphaba managed to say between laughter, "Please stop!" He eventually stopped.

"You have an amazing laugh, you know that?"

"Oh please."

"No, really it is lovely. I could listen to all day." He smiled and went to give her a peck on the lips, but she smiled and he ended up kissing her teeth. "Ew." He said teasingly into her mouth.

"Sorry, did I ruin that utterly romantic moment?"

"Actually you did." He said as he went to kiss her again, but she turned her head and he got her cheek. He looked into Elphaba's eyes, and he pleaded with his.

"No…" She mouthed to him. Fiyero nodded his head as though he wasn't going to give up. He was determined to get that kiss if it was the last thing he did.

"Kiss me!" He said demandingly.

"Why?" she was giggling beneath him.

"Pretty please?"
"You have you earn it!"

"Tell me what to do, I'll do anything!"

"You have to…" she stalled purposely.

"Come on, I'm getting impatient!"

"You're always impatient."

"Fae!" she said using her new known nickname.

"You have to tell me why you fell in love with me…the day we saved the lion cub."

"That's all?"

"Yep!" she smirked as Fiyero furrowed his eyebrows as though he needed to think about his answer.

"Well, my dear Fae. It would have to be when I looked into your eyes I felt as though I saw your soul…it was beautiful and knew from then on I wanted to know who you were, and I wanted to be in love with you and only you. How many times must I tell you, darling?"

"That's the last time, I swear. However, I don't have a soul so this story is a little inaccurate."

"Everyone has a soul Elphaba, even someone as wicked as yourself!" Fiyero insinuated.

"Believe it or not."

"I will not."

"Good, I guess I owe you a kiss don't I."

"I guess so…" Right as they were about to embrace in a passionate kiss, one that Fiyero had been anticipating for ten minutes or more. There was a ringing sound.

"Oh no! It's Monday!" Elphaba shouted as she pushed Fiyero off her, Fiyero's lips were still puckered. "We're late for class!"

"So…?"

"Fiyero! I'm never late for class!"

"Fine, don't get your panties in a twist. I'll get you to class."

"Aren't you coming with me?"

"No, I have to meet Glinda at the front foyer of Shiz."

"But…but. why?"

"I'm pretty sure I should tell her what's been going on. I'm also pretty sure she'll be quite angry with me. I knew she would be."

"I still can't believe you did that."

"Love makes you do crazy things Fae."

"Stop sounding so Cliché."

"Never!" Fiyero winked at Elphaba as they exited his room. Fiyero walked Elphaba to her first class. Gave her a quick peck on the lips and left for the Foyer. Well at least I got a last minute kiss.

--

Fiyero waited outside the front foyer area for over an hour, waiting for Glinda. He constantly checked his watch checking for the time.

"Well, if it isn't Caption Cheater Pants!"

Fiyero spun around to face a very disgruntled Glinda. She was tapping her small shoe on the ground, her hands her directly on her hips.

"Glinda…you know?"

"I know everything Fiyero! Did you honestly think I wouldn't find out?"

"No, I knew you were smart enough to at least figure that out."

Glinda slapped Fiyero right across the face. Fiyero chuckled while rubbing the cheek she slapped.

"Feel better?"

"Yes I do!"

"I'm sorry, Glinda."

"I'm sure you are…that's why I'm going to forget this little episode and take you back!"

"What?"

"Fiyero, I know how insecure you are! The fact that I left for your birthday weekend left you feeling lonely. So you went to a girl who is just as insecure as you are! You know that I can take care of you. I'm the right one for you sweetie. Not Elphaba! She's green for crying out loud. All she cares about is books, animal rights, her sister and school!"

"I didn't know those were bad things?"
"Whatever Fiyero. You know that I'm the one you need! Elphaba put you under her spell. She's a witch you know."

"What? You're crazy, she wouldn't do that, and I know I love her."

"Do you really Fiyero? How do you know that, that wasn't what she wanted you to think?"

"No, that's impossible."

"Fiyero…you can't trust her."

"What do you know…"

"I know that she put you under a spell, so that you'd break up with me and love her. Didn't you think it was a little strange how it happened so fast? I bet she was the one who forced you into writing me the letter…"

"You know about that?"

"yeah, I found out."

"How?"

"It doesn't matter!"

"Glinda, I see that you're upset but I know I love Elphaba, she didn't cast a spell on me!"

"YOU DON'T LOVE ELPHABA, YOU LOVE ME!" Glinda was so worked up, that she caused a flash of light and a surge of energy between them, knocking both of them to the ground. "Oh Fiyero, are you okay?"

"Glinda…I've never been better. I'm so happy you're back." Fiyero said as though he was in a daze.

"Oh Fiyero! I love you." Glinda beamed and wrapped her arms around Fiyero's waist. It worked, I knew the spell would work…soon I'll get Elphaba out of the picture and Fiyero will be mine again!

"Good I love you too, maybe we should get married?"

"Fiyero are you asking me to marry you?"

"Will you?"

"Yes!" She jumped in Fiyero's arms. Fiyero responded back hardheartedly. Glinda stole away his the use of his conscience using a spell she'd been working on ever since Pfannee told her about Elphaba and Fiyero. Glinda wasn't content on losing Fiyero; it wasn't because she loved him because she didn't. She just didn't want Elphaba to have him.

"Fiyero?"

"Yes dear?"

"I want you to end whatever you had with Elphaba."

"Consider it done."
