Touch me.
Hold me.
Kiss me.
Don't let go.
Please Elphaba.
Let's make this moment last.
That feels wonderful.
Elphaba, I think I am in lo--
Elphaba woke up suddenly. She glanced at the little pink fuzzy alarm clock on Galinda's night stand. 1:09 AM. She did not have to be up for six more hours. Elphaba was used to waking up in the middle of the night because of nightmares, but never because of dreams.
It was so long since she had a lovely dream. No one dying. No Animals being hurt. Nothing bad happening to Nessa. No strange visions of the future. It was nice change. But when she did have normal dreams, she never had them of this caliber. The dream she just had was full of passion. It was just her and Fiyero, alone in the Great Gillikin Forest. There was no one harassing them. They were in love. If for some reason, this was a vision of the future, she would not mind every last bit of it coming true.
Elphaba looked over at her sleeping roommate. She was twisted in a mess of sheets and had a white silk eye mask on and was muttering something about purses and stilettos in her sleep. Sleep. It was what any normal person would be doing at that hour of the night. Elphaba was not a normal person.
Elphaba stared at the ceiling for some time. Then, she looked at the clock. 1:17. It was only eight minutes since she woke up from the wonderful dream. Elphaba turned on her side in hopes of falling asleep. This did not work. She was even more uncomfortable than she was before. She tried counting sheep (not Sheep because that would be an insult to Animals). Elphaba tried humming to herself a lullaby that her mother used to sing to her when she was a baby. Everything failed. She could not return to the deep slumber she was once enjoying.
Now that she was awake, the thoughts that typically raced around her brain began to enter her mind. Elphaba closed her eyes, but the minute she did, she thought about Fiyero. She wanted to curse that name so badly. He had ruined her senses of reason and logic when it came to relationships, and not just the romantic kind.
The simple thoughts of Fiyero turned into questions. Is he awake thinking of me as I of him? she thought. Is he dreaming of me? Does he even want to speak to me again?
Elphaba, wide awake as ever, decided to find out for herself instead of sitting around and wondering about what might have been. She has always been a take charge kind of person. She hated sitting around, being a damsel in distress, the role that people like Galinda and Nessa played most of the time.
Elphaba removed the blanket from her lanky body. She had plain black pajama pants on and a black button down pajama top that matched the pants. Elphaba went to her closet and pulled out a pair of old tan slippers and put them on her feet, which were abnormally large compared to most other girl's. Elphaba then grabbed a warm black robe from her closet as well and slipped it on. She tied the belt so it was secure. Without saying a word to Galinda, or leaving a note for that matter, Elphaba tip toed and crept out the door.
The chill night air caused Elphaba to shiver involuntarily. She crossed her arms over her chest to try and warm herself. It worked because soon the shivering ceased. She could not worry about shivering anyway because she had to fully concentrate on sneaking into the boy's dormitories.
During the day, it was fine for boys and girls to visit each other. At night, it was a different story. Guards remained outside the buildings. They had watch dogs (or Dogs? Elphaba wasn't really certain) with them.
When Elphaba was halfway across the brick walkway that led to all the buildings at Shiz University, she realized how big of a mistake she made. She knew that if she was caught, she could be suspended. Or worse – expelled. Madame Morrible would not appreciate it that her star pupil was outside after curfew, especially the fact that she was heading over to the boy's dormitories. Elphaba was going to turn around, but then she had a sort of epiphany, if you will. She wanted to do something for herself for once. She usually helped other people, mostly Nessa, because she knew she had to make good in order to meet the Wizard. But, what people did not know wouldn't hurt them, right?
Elphaba looked at the boy's dormitories. She scanned the first and second floor until she found the large window on the second floor that she recognized as Fiyero's. She knew it was his because it was at the corner of the building and she often saw Galinda ad countless other girls passing the window and looking up into it, trying to see if Fiyero was naked or not.
Elphaba picked up a small stone and closed it in her hand. She held it for a while, contemplating if she should throw it at his window to get his attention or not. I'm doing this, she thought as she threw the small stone. It hit the window with a faint ping. She waited a moment. There was no response. Elphaba picked up a slightly larger stone and threw it at the window, harder than she threw the last one. There was a dull thunk and within seconds, she saw a small light turn on in Fiyero's room.
Fiyero pulled back the blue curtains that covered his windows. He blinked several times.
"Elphaba, is that you?" Fiyero asked. He then let out a huge yawn.
"Yeah, it's me. I couldn't sleep." Elphaba was embarrassed. She knew that going there was a mistake.
"Most sane people are asleep at two in the morning." Fiyero sounded a little bit annoyed.
"I'm sorry. I should just go." Elphaba turned to leave.
"No, don't go. I was dreaming about you, actually," He admitted. This is what he thought about doing, but he was too afraid of being caught when sneaking into the girl's dormitories.
"Fine." Elphaba looked up at Fiyero.
"Hold on," he told the green girl, who was shivering because she did not have any proper clothes on.
Fiyero had what appeared to be a rope ladder.
"I brought this with me to Shiz, just in case I needed to sneak out. Or, in your case, sneak someone in," the Prince explained. Elphaba simply smiled at Fiyero and then climbed the ladder up into his room.
