Chapter 8.

On the ride to the Wizard's, Elphaba was anxious. She knew that the Wizard was her father, and that made her tense up inside. Fiyero knew it too, and was immensely worried about his girlfriend.

"Fae?"
"Yes?"
"Are you okay?"
"I think so."
Her face turned a paler green. "Stop the freaking car, Boq!"
"Is she alright?"
"Uh, I don't know."
Elphaba got out of the car, looking like she was going to throw up.
"Maybe it was the food!"
Elphaba doubled over, throwing up.

"Fae? Are you okay?"
"Yes, I think it's the food."
"How about we roll the car window down and you get fresh air?"
"That sounds just fine."
"Hey, we're here."
They walked in, "I am the great and terrible! Who dares to come near me?"
"Say something, Elphaba!" Galinda hissed.

"I'm Elphaba Thropp, your terribleness."
"Oh, is that you, Elphaba? I couldn't tell."
When he came out of the head,"Yes, father."

"Oh, Madame Morrible told you?"
"Yes."
"Well, you're still my daughter, however much Frez thinks you're his."
"Thanks. This is Galinda Upland of the Upper Uplands, Boq Potter, and Fiyero Tiggular." She said, allowing Fiyero to slide an arm around her.

"So you two are dating?" Glancing down at Elphaba's hand, "Or are you two engaged?"
"We've been dating for three months."
"Oh, it's good for you to have someone to love you."
"Thanks."
"Oh, your welcome. Galinda Upland, I know your parents."
"Thank you!"
"Elphaba, I need you to read this book."
"The Grimmerie!"
"My monkey, needs a spell to grow wings. Can you do that?"
"Okay." Taking the Grimmerie, she began to chant.

"It worked!"
"After college, I'd like you to come out here for a week and work for me."
She looked at Fiyero, "I might be able to."
"Unless you two have plan after college?"
"I honestly don't know."
Fiyero walked up to her father and whispered, "I was planning to propose to her next month."
"Oh, how wonderful!"
"Thank you. So I have your permission?"
"Of course, she's happy with you, and loves you."
"Yero, what are you saying to him?"
"Oh, nothing, Fae. You'll see in a week."

"Good."
"You all may leave now."
"Great!" Galinda and Boq yelled.

In the car ride back, they were having so much fun that Elphaba started to act her age and not twenty years old. "They'll call you wonderful!" Galinda told Elphaba.

"Ha ha."
"Oh they'll be changed for the better because they'll call you wonderful! La la!"
"I know."
"That is so fabulous!"
"Nice."
"So we're here!"
"Good."

The two girls walked back to their room, Fiyero with Elphaba. "Wait before you go, I just need to see what size the ring is."
"Uh, okay."
"It's a five."
"Thanks for today and last night."
"You're welcome."
He kissed her. "Goodnight. Love you so much."
"Goodnight. Ditto."
He left, headed in the direction of the city near Shiz, and walked in a ring store. Finding the one he wanted, he chose the ring that looked like her. It was a medium sized diamond, with emerald specks on the band. "I would like that one, in a five please."
"Alright. One hundred dollars."

He gave her the money. "Thank you." He couldn't wait to see her face.
