Dorothy dragged Fiyero to a nearby area so they could rest and catch up. Elphaba is going to kill me Fiyero thought. Dorothy kept going on and on about her life after she left Oz. Fiyero had lost interest a half hour ago and Liir and Vanessa had wandered off. I wish I were with them rather then listening to her drone on, Fiyero once again thought, how did I ever put up with her?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Liir and Vanessa walked through the woods, Vanessa making sarcastic remarks whenever she got the chance and rolling her eyes. "This is the Munchkin River," Liir explained.
"And I care why?"
"Well… I thought you would."
"Look it's pretty obvious that you like me, but let me inform you now that I am not into you that way or any way at all."
"Oh…" Liir said looking at his feet, "What's that?"
"What's what?"
"Didn't you hear that? There it is again!"
"I hear it! It sounds like crying…"
The two ran over to where the sound was coming from. The both stopped in their tracks at the sight in front of them. There lay an enormous dead, bleeding Black Bear it had a bullet hole in its chest, but what startled them the most was the baby cub shaking next to it.
"Oh my," Vanessa said and ran over to the creature, "how in the world did this happen."
"I don't know… Animals gained their rights back years ago and an act such as this is illegal and has serious consequences."
"Well we can't just leave it hear somebody has to do something!"
Liir gently lifted the Bear cub and brought it out of the brush Vanessa close at his heels. Liir set the Bear down on the soft grass. He then ripped the sleeve of his shirt and soaked it in the river water. He handed the wet cloth to Vanessa who tended the Bear's wounds.
Liir noticed how caring she looked as she cleaned the wounds. He hadn't seen her look so beautiful since he had met her. That's when he noticed that she was bleeding. "You're bleeding," he pointed out.
"I am?"
"Yeah. You must have scratched yourself in the brush."
"Yeah… or maybe I got scratched or something," Vanessa replied sounding completely brainless.
Liir gently wiped the blood off of her forehead with his thumb, but let his hand linger there a moment. The two stared deeply into one another's eyes when Vanessa suddenly jumped back. "Uh… I better get to safety… I mean err…" and with that Vanessa spun on her heal and ran leaving Liir and the Bear cub behind.
"Nessa," Liir called out, but it was no use she was gone. Liir finished up with the Bear who had awoken and told him that he was fine. Liir headed back shuffling his feet as he went.
What was I thinking, Vanessa thought to herself. Stuff like that doesn't happen. It felt like sparks were flying between us, but that's not even possible that stuff only happens in fairytales. How can I be falling for a brainless boy like him? Vanessa continued running through the woods with thoughts racing in her mind.
Vanessa emerged from the woods at a fast pace causing both Fiyero and Dorothy to look up.
"Back so soon," Dorothy asked breaking her story.
"Thank Lurline," Fiyero muttered under his breath.
Vanessa and Dorothy started to have a conversation which gave Fiyero time to think how to get back to Elphaba without Dorothy noticing. Liir emerged from the woods about 20 minutes later at a slow pace and he was looking at the ground and appeared to be deep in thought, which was rare for Liir.
The group sat in silence for a while which was something Fiyero thought would never happen, especially with Dorothy around. The sky was getting dark and soon Dorothy would need sleep, perfect for our getaway, Fiyero thought. Sure enough Fiyero was right about 15 minutes later Dorothy spoke up, "It's getting late and I am exhausted. Well, Vanessa we should get to sleep, we have a long day of traveling tomorrow."
"But it's not even totally dark yet," Vanessa complained.
"We need sleep."
"Fine…"
"I'll talk to you in the morning Scarecrow. Wait are you going to join us on our trip to the Emerald City? It's going to be just like old times," Dorothy exclaimed.
"Yeah… sure… sounds great," Fiyero lied, "Goodnight."
"Goodnight Scarecrow," Dorothy said running up and giving him a hug, "Goodnight Liir," Dorothy added. Liir smiled and lay down to go to sleep.
Fiyero stood around for an hour making sure everyone was fast asleep until he woke Liir up. "What the-" Liir shouted before a glove was placed over his mouth.
"Hurry we have to leave now," Liir head his dad say.
"What? Why?"
"Your mother is waiting back at the house and she is probably going to go crazy if we don't return soon."
"So… I am not leaving," Liir said stubbornly.
"Yes you are," and with that said Fiyero grabbed Liir's arm and dragged him until Liir was forced to walk.

A few hours later the two arrived back at the cabin. The door opened and the two were greeted by a relieved Elphaba who soon started to flip out at what took them so long and how she had been worried sick.
Liir went into his bedroom and collapsed on his bed. He was exhausted after his night's travel. He fell asleep and dreamt of Vanessa.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The next morning Dorothy woke up and was surprised to see that the Scarecrow and Liir were missing. She woke Vanessa immediately. "The Scarecrow and Liir are missing," she exclaimed.
"Seriously," Vanessa asked with some concern. Liir wouldn't leave her would he… and weren't the Scarecrow and her mother friends? They must have been kidnapped!
Dorothy started checking the ground. She was thinking the exact same thing as Vanessa and was checking for trails the kidnappers might have left. Soon she came across a pile of straw. She searched through it and came across a wallet. She opened it up and was surprised to see so much money. It looked like pretty big bills too. Why in the world would the Scarecrow have a wallet and so much money, Dorothy pondered. There was a small trail of straw that ended shortly ahead, but it was something. "It looks like they went this way."
Vanessa looked up and walked over to where her mother was standing. She saw the trail and nodded her head in agreement. The two then set off in search of their friends.
