A/N: This chapter… was such a monster _ but it ends as a nice two-shot. OMG I saw Wicked on April fifth for my birthday (March 10) :D Dee and Jenn were brilliant, the show itself was AMAZING. I'm also proud to announce Wicked was voted best Musical of all time!

Fiyero's suit was drenched, but he didn't care, all that mattered was finding Fae. He looked around for the most sheltered places he could find, but she wasn't in any. He began to lose any hope in ever finding her.

"Elphaba!" He called out as loud as he could, but he was afraid the thunder drowned it out until he heard a moan in response.

He turned towards the sound and ran across the grass to the tree where he heard her. Fiyero almost slipped on the wet grass. Yes, the tree's leaves and branches were good protection for him, but not for Elphaba or the ground. He walked around the side of the tree and looked at her in horror; she was curled against the tree her skin was splotchy and more red then green in the dim light. The silver sash around her waist earlier was now on her head attempting to shield her face. Fiyero picked Elphaba up in his arms as delicately as possible.

He didn't want to injure her any further then what she already was. Fiyero looked around towards her room, and then she realized than his room was closer and the path more sheltered.

"Elphaba, I'm going to take you to my room. You can dry off there and… yea." He explained to the green girl as he blocked the rain with his coat and ran along the path. Fiyero supported her with one arm as he opened the door.

"Go on in." Elphaba shuffled in sleepily and weakly she stopped in the center of the room and shivered.

Fiyero tossed her a fluffy blue towel. "Dry off and go to bed, you must be tired. I'll, uh, grab you some clothes." He rummaged through his drawer pulling out a pair of dark blue silk pajama pants too small for him and a loose shirt the same color. "Here, go to the bathroom and change I'll get some ointments and stuff."

Elphaba nodded and turned to go but then held up her burned hands. "Fiyero, I-I don't think I can- my hands…" Fiyero moved over to her and helped her get off her dress and turned away as she managed the rest.

"You have to sleep." He pulled up a chair for himself.

"No, I'm not letting you sleep on a chair in your own room." She protested, but weakly.

"No, Fae… It's alright just rest, please."

Elphaba opened her mouth to protest again but sleep overtook her and the last thing she saw was Fiyero watching her intently.

.:OZ:.

When Elphaba awoke she was aware that she was in a bed, but not her own. She could feel the soft-as-cloud pillows under her head and blankets over her, much nice then anything she owned. The events from last night rushed back to her as she sat up with a wince to get a look at Fiyero.

Fiyero was hunched over on the chair, slightly snoring. A slim smile appeared on Elphaba's face.

A sudden knock on the door jolted Fiyero onto his feet.

"Fiyero! Where's Elphie, did you find her?" Both Elphaba and Fiyero heard Galinda's muffled cry from behind the door. Fiyero started to walk forward to answer it when Elphaba interrupted.

"Leave her; I'll go back soon enough." Fiyero who hadn't known she was also awake turned around and climbed onto the foot of the bed.

"How are you?" He asked carefully.

"Good, thanks to you, Yero my Hero."

Elphaba cupped Fiyero's face with her raw hands, ignoring the pain as she kissed Fiyero, full on.

Little did they know just outside the door a very giggly Galinda was listening in on the two.

"Aw, I just knew they would make the cutest couple!"
