1Disclaimer: I own this chapter! Yay! It's a little Fiyeraba, so if you don't like Fiyeraba than go to the next chapter. I'm not even sure if this is all that important, or it it'll even make sense! BTW, if the chapter name doesn't make sense, it's because I am all out of names that are single word questions and answers. It's hard! If anyone has any suggestions I'm wide open!

Chapter 9: Names? Out

Elphaba soared through the sky, zipping away from the Emerald City as fast as lightning. Closing her eyes she thought deeply, when a gunshot fired and a net enveloped her. She shrieked as the weights tangled around her and her broom and she tumbled towards the ground below. She managed to keep the broom in the air some-what before making a crash landing. She thrashed on the ground when there was a clipping noise.

"Need a little help? I thought you would be able to stay up well enough." Fiyero smiled at her. "You alright? Didn't hurt yourself in that little tumble, did you?"

Elphaba was feeling particularly wicked since her encounter with Glinda. "Why should you care? You're the one trying to melt me like those stupid Ozians say, you stupid brainless Winkie prince." She sneered at the last word.

"I wouldn't melt you! I've just been trying to convince you to come back to Oz. It's different without you." He smiled again. "Nobody to tell you you're wrong and give you lectures about things you don't wanna hear."

"Then I guess you're better of without me!" Elphaba snarled, leaping onto her broom and readying to take off.

Fiyero seized the broom. "Wait, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just ran into an old friend." Elphaba scoffed. "The only one I ever had! Hah! Let go!" She kicked at his hand and zipped into the air.

"Elphaba! Come back! Wait!"

Why did people want her around all of a sudden? Elphaba shook her head, then had an idea. She held her hand over the bristles of her broom until they began smoking without a fire and made the picture of a pointed hat in the sky. She laughed and made to fly away, making the smoke go out after the hat was filled in with black smoke. With a twist she made a diamond in the center of the hat, then looked longingly at Fiyero.

He stared at the blue shining through the diamond in the middle of the hat and smiled and waved. Elphaba waved back, then streaked away into the forest. Hmmm, it was good seeing him again.

Goodness that was short. I'm sorry, but that was all I could really think of to write. Hmph, I'm stuck. I'll guess I'll move onto the wizard.
