Since it's Thanksgiving Break installments should be coming up pretty fast for awhile (but that doesn't mean you should stop reviewing). If you have any plot ideas don't hesitate to let me know.

Fiyero was the first to reach the two girls. "Elphaba!" he panted, voice strained with worry. "Elphaba are you ok?"

"I'm fine," the green girl mumbled dazedly.

"What just happened?" Bella asked. "What did you do?" Elphaba shook her head to clear it.

"Nothing," she assured the pale skinned girl. "I just saw a flash of green and then the van stopped." Bella's eyes narrowed, easily detecting Elphaba's lie.

"No, you did something," Bella insisted. "I saw you." The green girl shook her head again.

"No I didn't," she repeated, trying to convey to Bella how important it was that this secret be kept. "Really I didn't do anything." Before Twilight's heroine could say anything else a crowd of worried faces assaulted them.

"Are you ok?" Angela cried upon reaching the two girls.

"I'm fine," Bella assured her.

"What happened?" Jessica questioned snottily, joining her friends. "The van looked like it was going to crush you and then it just stopped."

"Yeah, that was weird," Bella agreed, casting Elphaba a pointed look.

"Should we call an ambulance?" Angela wondered. "Are you sure you're ok."

"I'm fine," Bella said. Angela turned to Elphaba and her eyes widened slightly.

"We're both fine," the green girl informed her. As Bella was swarmed by more of her friends Galinda arrived beside Elphaba and Fiyero.

"Elphie are you ok?" she shrieked, throwing her arms around her green friend. "That was horrendifying!"

"It's ok," Elphaba soothed, stroking her blonde friend's back. "But I think I just screwed up the story, a lot."

"What do you mean?" Galinda wondered, stepping out of the hug.

"Edward was supposed to save Bella from the van," Elphaba whispered. "That's how she figures out that he has special powers. Now that won't happen." Galinda's eyes widened.

"So they'll never fall in love now," the blonde whimpered. "Oh Elphie this is awful."

"You don't know that," Fiyero interjected. "If they really are meant to fall for each other it will happen eventually." Elphaba gave him a tight smile.

"I hope you're right," she said flatly. "But I doubt you are." Just then the bell rang and everyone who had been milling around the parking lot headed to class. Elphaba was surprised to realize that she had Biology 2 with Bella and Edward. When she entered the classroom the two of them were sitting silently beside one another in awkward silence. Bella's eyes followed the green girl as she spoke with Mr. Banner.

"You can sit with Bella," the teacher suggested. "Edward really doesn't need a partner, he could teach this class himself." Elphaba ground her teeth together but didn't protest. What could she say? As Edward happily relinquished his seat to the green girl she tried to ignore Bella's curious gaze.

"Are you going to explain to me what you did in the parking lot?" she asked. The green girl shook her head. "Why not?"

"Because it's none of your business," Elphaba snapped. "I saved your life; I don't owe you an explanation as to how I did it." Mr. Banner began his lesson; they were supposed to take notes.

"If you want me to keep this secret of yours then you do owe me an explanation," Bella whispered.

"What makes you think I even have a secret?" Elphaba hissed.

"That van was going to crush us both but you stopped it. You put out your hands and there was a flash of green, then the van stopped," Bella growled. "You definitely did something."

"What are your theories?" Elphaba wondered, remembering that Edward had said something like that.

"I'm sure it has something to do with your…er...skin color," Bella said awkwardly. The people here were so worried about being politically correct that they practically ignored the green girl's odd appearance.

"Wrong," Elphaba murmured flatly.

"Radioactive spider?" Bella questioned jokingly.

"Nope."

"Are you from another planet?"

"No." Another world, not another planet.

"Witchcraft?" There was a pause.

"Maybe…"

"You're a witch?" Bella squeaked.

"Do you hear yourself?" Elphaba growled. "Just because of some bizarre occurrence you're ready to believe that I'm a witch." Bella recoiled, shocked by her neighbor's outburst. The green girl glowered, eyes focused on the teacher. "Why does it even matter?"

"I guess it doesn't," Bella admitted, shrugging. "But if our places were reversed I bet you would be just as curious." Elphaba grinned. Maybe Bella had some sense in her head after all.

"You're right," the green girl informed her. "I would be just as curious. However, if someone had just saved my life I would have thanked them before asking a barrage of prying questions." Bella's face flushed.

"Thank you," she whispered. Elphaba nodded in acknowledgement. "You aren't going to tell me, are you?" demanded the pale skinned girl.

"No," Elphaba sighed. "It's better if you don't know." Bella frowned but stopped interrogating her partner.

"Elphie if you keep scowling like that you'll get frown lines," Galinda complained to her friend when they were safely back in the Cullen house.

"Frown lines are the least of my worries at the moment," the green girl grumbled, scowling all the harder. "I just screwed up the entire plot of the book."

"You don't know that," Fiyero insisted, for what seemed like the thousandth time. "If it's a romance novel all that really matters is that they fall in love."

"But what if they don't?" Elphaba exclaimed. "What if Bella never finds out that Edward is a vampire? What if they never go to the meadow?"

"We'll just have to make sure that everything turns out the way it's supposed to," Galinda said simply.

"How are we supposed to do that?" Elphaba hissed.

"Why don't we just put Bella in danger so Edward has to rescue her?" the blonde suggested.

"Galinda you're a genius!" Elphaba cried, hugging her friend. Fiyero snorted.

"Is that really the best idea?" he questioned. "What if Edward doesn't react properly? What if something goes wrong? This plan leaves too much up to chance. If you accidentally kill Bella we're screwed."

"Why did you have to pick today to start thinking?" Galinda grouched. "You ruined my wonderful plan."

"He's right though," Elphaba pointed out. "We can't risk doing something even more drastic to the plot."

"So what should we do?" Galinda wondered, pouting. Elphaba's eyes flashed with a sudden idea.

"We're going to play matchmaker," the green girl explained.
