Chapter 4: The Date, Part 1
Elphaba looked in her wardrobe and saw the perfect dress: a v-neck black on that ended up above her ankle and was slit to the thigh. He would think that she looked very, very hot in it. She laughed, and sighed as she raided Galinda's makeup bag for some kind of makeup that wouldn't clash with her skin. Finding a silver sparkly eyeshadow, blood red lipstick, black mascara, pink blush, and a blue hairband.
Putting the things on, she looked in the mirror. She looked beautiful, no other words for it. Her big, brown eyes looked like they were bigger, and her hair was waist length instead of being on the floor like usual. She glanced around her, making sure that Galinda wasn't there, slipped out the door.
"Hey-Whoa!"
Elphaba grinned. "Hi to you to and what? Do I really look that good? No comment!"
"Well, what did you think I was going to say?"
She ignored him. "I left a note to Galinda that said I was going to a lecture.. I didn't say where."
"Why do you not want me to tell you that you look very, very-"
"Shut up!"She replied teasingly.
"Do you want to?"
"Yes." Blushing, she whispered, "Of course I am. I would do anything for this!"
"Even?"
"La la la la la! I want to go."
"Okay, let's leave."
She grinned. "Where will we be going?"
"Only to the best food place in town, and then the Oz Dust. That alright with you?"
"Sure!" Elphaba laughed. His hand found her's and held it. "Are we leaving or what, Fiyero?"
"Of course."
"Then let's leave before I have to see how much you want me in-"
"Elphaba!"
"Well, it's true." They left.
Elphaba saw a limousine pull up. "Oh, you shouldn't have!"
"I know, but I wanted you to have the best first date with me."
"Yes, imply that this will not go to hell."
"Elphaba!"
"I know, language, but still!"
"I don't mind the language." He let her in the limo first. It only seemed fair that she got to be in first because she was a girl.
"Oh, that's so sweet!"
"Thank you. Do you want to sit on my lap?"
"Yes. But I feel so bad for doing it."
"Just do it." So she did, and his arms slowly wrapped around her. She giggled.
"Hey, isn't that-"
"Yes..."
"Oh my God! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"You're welcome."
"Would it be alright if I told you something?"
"Yes."
"When I was a six year old girl, my mother died giving birth to my younger brother. Nessa was only four years old then, and thought it was her whom had done it and tried to commit suicide. My father found her, and became to the pretense that I had done it. He beat me, and I will never go to a state dinner as long as he's alive."
"Elphaba, I'm so sorry."
"It's fine. Mother was the only one whom actually loved me."
"I love you."
"You didn't just say that, did you?"
"I did. It's true."
She leaned into him, her head on his chest.
"Thank you. No one has ever said that to me."
"You're welcome, Elphaba."
"Do you like the song Minuet by Idina Menzel?
"Yeah."
"It sounds like us."
"Exactly. Except it's not about two people who meet because of their bubbly, blonde friend."
"Ha ha."
"I also like Reach and Follow If You Lead."
"Oh, really? Me too! Do you have the CD with you?"
"Yes, we'll listen to it on the way to the Oz Dust."
"Deal."
"So, you want to get something?"
"Yea." So the two walked in the restaurant and looked at the menu.
"Fiyero?"
"Yes?"
"What's chicken pasta with a side of chives and cranberries going to taste like?"
"Good."
"Okay. What are you getting?"
"The beef pasta with a side of chives and cranberries."
"Okay."
"What about the drinks?"
"Oh, I don't know, whatever you get, I suppose."
"I'm getting a water with lemon."
"That sounds good. Anything else in the water?" She teased.
"Aw, shut up, Fae."
"What?"
"It means, 'green goddess', which you are."
"Okay."
"Anyway, let's order."
"Alright."
"Are you two ready to order?" the waitress asked.
"Uh, yeah."
"What would you like to drink?"
"Two waters with lemon." Fiyero told her.
"Okay, and the food?"
"Two chicken pastas with chives and cranberries."
"Appetizers?"
He looked at Elphaba. "Um, what do you want, Fae?"
"I'm fine."
"None, please."
"Okay." She replied, and left.
"So..."
"I think it's so unfair what Morrible did to Doctor Dillamond. Did you hear?"
"No.."
"He told me so himself. She locked him up and yelled at him, then attempted murder."
He gasped. "Really?"
"Yes."
"Sweet!"
The food came out. "I'm so glad we got the pasta."
"Why-Oh!"
"Yeah, it's the whole point of eating noodles."
"I know, if you're on a date with a very good looking Vinkun prince. Or anybody that you feel attracted to..."
"Are you saying what I think you're saying?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
She looked at her food and started eating. "Mm, this is-" But her sentence was cut off as something touched her mouth, gently. She realized what it was. He was kissing her!
