Once again computer was down… so thank you for your patience on the last chapter.

"Merry Lurlinemas! C'mon waaakeee uppppppppppppp!" Galinda bounced up and down on her friend's bed, with her still in it. Elphaba groaned loudly and flipped over on her stomach.

"I thought I locked the door." She mumbled, burying her face under her pillow blocking out the light and Galinda's squeals.

"You diddddd!" Galinda triumphantly held up and bobby pin for Elphaba to see.

"Fine. One sec I'll be down soon." Elphaba sat up and rubbed her eyes, her tank top slipping off one arm she pulled it up and trailed after Galinda.

Galinda bounced down the steps with in human speed. Elphaba followed her with a little less enthusiasm. When they walked into the room they found Nessa and Boq already sitting by the tree.

They took turn opening their presents, Galinda insisted that Elphaba should go first. She reluctantly agreed when the heavy package was shoved onto her lap.

Elphaba carefully ripped away the colorful paper and ribbons to reveal an old musty book. Her eyes widened, it was a book she'd been looking for for ages and when she finally found it she found it was far too expensive for her. It was a book on the story of Lurline and Kumbrica and their unlikely friendship before they became two of the most famous figures in Oz.

"Lin… I love it but I can't accept this."

Galinda frowned. "Of course you can. It's Lurlinemas, enjoy it- JUST NOT TODAY DON'T YOU DARE OPEN THAT NOW. I ACTUALLY WANT TO TALK TO YOU." She leapt over the paper and snatched the book from Elphaba's hands.

Elphaba chuckled and pulled out a big box from the tree. "Here, take it."

"You bet I will!" Galinda squealed as she took it eagerly from the green girl.

Galinda let out another deafening squeal when she opened it. When Elphaba and Galinda first became friends Elphaba made her get rid of all her fur coats, saying. "You never know if it was an Animal or animal these days." It had included Galinda's favorite coat. Elphaba bought one similar to it, pink on the outside with a fluffy inside (in substitute for fur) on the inside of the collar she got the got the initials G.A.U. embroidered for her.

"OHHHH thankyouthankyouthankyou!" Galinda hugged Elphaba tightly and jumped up and down with her new coat on.

"Where's Fiyero?" Elphaba asked, suddenly noticing his absence. Galinda giggled and winked to something beyond her. Elphaba gasped suddenly when she was lifted into the air and hoisted onto someone's shoulder. She was being carried like a hostage.

"FIYERO! What are you doing?!" She hissed as he ran out the front door into the snow covered front garden.

"I'm kidnapping you since I knew you'd never agree to what I'm about to do!" He huffed, still running past the gates and into the cobblestone driveway. He finally put her down and turned her around so she faced the street.

She gasped when she saw the carriage. It was a sleek black two person carriage with two white stallions pulling it. She walked up to them and admired their wonderful pelts. Yes, they were animals so she was okay with it.

"Oh… Fiyero how…" Her voice trailed off.

"I'm a prince remember? These are mine." He smiled. "Come on, let's go."

"Where?"

"I don't know, I thought just going around would be nice. Especially with the snow like this." Fiyero playfully stuck out his tongue and span around. He stopped when he noticed the look she gave him and helped her into the carriage.

They rode in silence, Fiyero at the reigns taking in the snow laden landscape of Munchkin. The rolling hills so commonly used for farming now made a sea of white. He stopped the horses and turned to Elphaba.

"This isn't really your Lurlinemas present you know."

Elphaba looked up at him, confused. "What? But you've already done so much for me, Yero!"

His heart melted when she used his nickname. He pulled out a small box.

"I know you're not really into the big stuff. You like things more concealable more private from someone important to you. As long as you know then it's enough… and I want you to know that I'll never need anything but your love. So this is something to show our love. I want everyone to know that I love Elphaba Thropp, the green girl of Shiz. SHE IS MINE." He yelled to the world.

Elphaba blushed and took the box and opened it. She let a small gasp escape her lips.

It was a heart shaped necklace made from Emerald ore from the mines in Munchkinland. A thin ring that wasn't really attached to it hung around it, spinning ever so slightly. It was blue, made of a sapphire found only in the Vinkus. Fiyero took the green heart and put it around his own neck and took the Blue ring necklace and placed it carefully around Elphaba.

"As you probably know, that stone can only be found in the Vinkus. I gave it to you because I want you to know that you'll always have a home there, and I took this one because I know I'll always have a home with you. The heart represents your heart of course, and the blue ring represents me. I will protect you no matter what, Elphaba. Never think you're not good enough. I know what happened yesterday Galinda told me everything. I'm here for you."

And with that Elphaba and Fiyero shared their first real kiss. They melted into each other like the snow meeting the sun on the first day of spring and stayed like that. Sharing the warm embrace suspended in time.

FINIS

Originally this story was going to be 2 chapters. That's why it was such an awkward ending; I didn't really know where to go with it- I'm sorry! Dx
