I know it's short but my chappies are getting longer...sort of and that's a good thing =D And a super special thanks to my reviewers, especially FaeTheDevoutScholar who doesn't miss a chapter!

Later that night, he was ready. That eye opening playlist had taught Fiyero everything he needed to know about romance. Fighting the urge to sweep his hair to the side and wear a tight purple sweater, Fiyero snuck out of his dorm and crept over to the windows where Elphaba's was. Picking up medium sized rocks, Fiyero threw them at the window...

Only he missed and had to hide behind a bush, unsure of whose window he had hit.

Ducking just in time, Fiyero saw Madame Morrible stick her head out of the window he hit and shout into the night.

When she was done, he tried again, this time hitting the right window.

Only...no one answered.

He tried again.

To no avail.

Third rock's the charm.

Fiyero heard the window being unlocked and forced up, preparing to call out to Elphaba, but shutting his mouth as Galinda peeked out.

But I hit Elphaba's side of the window!

"Fiyero! It's three in the morning! Did you swallow your watch again?" Galinda's high pitched morning voice called.

"Uhhh...Galinda I need to talk to Elphaba."

"Why?"

"Oh...it's a chemistry..thing." Fiyero sputtered.

"She's with Nessa tonight." Galinda yawned. "Now excuse me it's time for beauty rest, not that I need it."

Even at three in the morning Galinda could toss her hair perfectly.

The next morning, Fiyero practically looked like a zombie. He couldn't stop thinking about what happened the night before so he decided to skip a class...and another...and another. He was walking back to his dorm at the end of the day when he bumped into Elphaba coming out of science class.

"Fiyero? Did something maul you in the woods?" Elphaba gasped.

Fiyero was so tired he couldn't even think straight. "Did Galinda tell you anything about last night?"

Elphaba fidgeted with her bag. "Yeah, she said you came looking for me."

"I did."

"Is there something you wanted to say?"

Losing his sanity by the second Fiyero said, "I was listening to these songs that girls like and they were all about Prince Charmings and dreams and happiness and pink and love and I thought you know, maybe we could give something like that a try and why not. So I wanted to invite you to the dance and impress you and pray to Oz that you'd say yes."

Elphaba just stared at him. "Fiyero...I don't know what to say. I..I..." She's speechless that's a good sign. "Fiyero I don't feel that way about you."

And his whole world came crashing down on him.

He began to turn away when she grabbed his hand. "I want to be your friend Fiyero, but I don't want anything more. You're a wonderful person and you're dating my best friend. Right now, my dream means more to me than anything else ever will."

Walking away, Fiyero felt numb.

Why do I feel like crap right now?

He had dated so many girls and couldn't even remember half of them. Now he had Galinda all to himself which wasn't too bad and his life was a party.

So why am I ready to throw down everything and join the Animal rebellion to impress her?

It baffled him. There was a feeling in his gut that made him want to be sick, his head was pounding and he couldn't breathe. Until it dawned on him...

Dear Oz, I'm in love.
