Disclaimer: Nope not yet all legal rights are taken from me...darn it

A/N: Hey guys so sooooooo sorry I haven't updated in a while school started and crap Guh. I have not abandoned the story on the contrary I'm thinking of a sequel to this one. So no fear. Here's chapter 7.

"Elphie can you believe it?! Were actually in the Emerald City. It's all grand!"

"And it's all green! It took us forever! Well let's get a hotel then go find the Wizard." they walked in the city looking at all the stores and small houses. They got their hotel and freshened up and they were off to see the Wizard. Half an hour later they arrived in town and at the gate of the palace. "Galinda whatever happens in here I want you to know I'll always be wit you and that I love you. Will you remember that for me?"

"Elphie my darling you don't have to worry about that. I've loved you ever since we became friends and I'll never stop loving you. I need you with me in my life Elphaba Thropp." she said her clear blue eyes staring right into the warm chocolate browns in front of her. Her full pink lips trembling with every word like she would bust into tears right then and there. Then sure enough one then two then more hot tears came down her soft cream colored face. Elphaba started wiping them away even though they burned her fingers.

"Elphie" she choked out," Stop you'll burn your fingers." she said pushing the long green fingers away groom her cheek but Elphaba didn't care she wiped the tears away and whispered I love you to her until her breathing returned to normal. ..

"Ok ready to see the Wizard?" the green witch asked.

"Only if you are love." she said. They walked in the palace and went ot the desk. The secretary had the name Alex on her name pin. Elphaba's breath caught when she seen the jet black hair and the soft green eyes.

"Hello Elphaba-baby I've missed you." she said Elphie smiled at the use of her old name from Alex.

"Alex. Is that really you? You never told me you were here. I've missed you too. This is Galinda." she said nothing towards Galinda who looked like she would die tight on the spot.

"Nice to meet you. Elphie I have to go!" she rushed out of the palace and onto a park bench to find Elphaba running in her thick black boots behind her.

"Galinda what's wrong are you ok?" she said checking her over but seen nothing.

"It's her Elphie it's your old childhood sweetheart. Go to her Elphie." she said though the tears that ran free now.

"Galinda she's married. Were just friends very good friends but still just friends. Galinda I love you." she choked her own tears escaping down her emerald cheeks.

"Elphie stop your going to burn yourself now come on don't cry over me." she kneeled down to brush the tears away. "Elphie I'm sorry about how I acted but it just seems like every time I get to thinking your all mine and only mine someone new or old or regular comes up and wants you. I'm scared that one day I may actually lose you to someone who doesn't deserve you." the tears came again.

"Now now then love Alex has made me an appointment with the Wizard for tomorrow. How bout we go into some shops and look at some dresses you'd like?"

"Oh you mean green thing. Let's go!" and with that they raced into the market like the two young school girls that they were. Shop after shop Galinda tried on dress after dress until t hey came to the last and she seen the most perfect dress that made her look like a princess. It was a darker pink strapless ball gown style that made her look like a little pink blonde angel. Elphie noted the dress and it's price and they went back to the hotel. They had a nice dinner and went back up to the room.

"Galinda dear what are your plans for tonight?" Elphie asked carefully.

"Oh nothing out of the ordinary go take a bath and hop in bed. And you dear?"

"I'm going to head to the library for a hour or so will you be ok?"

"Yes yes go on Elphie. Have fun." she kissed her girl friend with vigor.

"Ok ok anymore of this and I'll never leave. Make sure you lock the door and don't open it until I get back you hear?"

"Yea Mom now go!" she said practically shoving her out the door."

'Jeez Elphaba you almost ruined my romantic surprise now to get the stuff set up.' Galinda spent about an hour and a half setting up the new room. It had a heart shaped bed with a Jacuzzi bathtub even though Elphie couldn't use it. She wrote a note to Elphie telling them their new room and she set about for phase two. She took red rose petals and sprinkled a trial through every room then finally leading onto the balcony. The champagne was on ice and Galinda took her bath and got in her robe.

Elphie on the other hand had her own surprise in mind. She went down to that dress shop and bought the dress and matching shoes for Galinda. She also made a small stop to a late night jewelry store. She seen the note on the door and this puzzled her. Surely she remembered the room number until she seen the note. She went to the room and knocked when she found the door locked and her without a key. The door opened and Elphaba stepped into pitch black darkness. "don't turn that light on a voice giggled. Follow the little green light." Elphaba did and was lead into the living room. "Put your bags here now!" The light went into the bathroom. Once again the voice instructed her to do something. "Put on the black silk rob dear." The light finally lead to the bedroom. "Pour two glasses of the champagne then come out onto the balcony."

"Ok Galinda now I'm a little afraid of what I'll see out here."

"Trust me darling you'll love it." the voice called from the dark. Elphaba walked out tot he balcony and stop as she seen her. Galinda in a red silk almost see through rob in the full moons light. "Well come come now you've kept me waiting for a good long time. How bout a kiss?"

"Galinda hat is I mean...when did you...how did you...wow."

"Oh honestly Elphie! Must you over analyze it all?!" she marched up to her green lover and kissed her softly as she stroked her cheek. They parted and smiled at each other their lips met slowly but this kiss was filled with passion and love.

"Galinda I have some things for you. Here" she thrust the boxes at her. Galinda opened the larger one she gasped and squealed. "Oh my Ozzzzz Elphie how did you afford this?!"

"Never you mind that now open the others." Galinda opened the smaller to find the matching shoes. She was rewarded with hugs and kisses.

"Happy 3 months Glin."

"As to you my love. Here." Galinda pulled out a small black box. "Here the best present I could give you." A small silver ring with a band of green emeralds and pink stones. Very much resembling an engagement ring. Elphaba's face went pale. "Elphie what's wrong are you ok? Say something sweet Oz your scaring me!"

"Here Glin see for yourself." She pulled out the same black box. Sure enough as Galinda opened it she seen the same silver ring. Their mouths dropped. "Galinda" she started getting on her knee," I love you...I know were young but will you marry me?"

"Yes Elphie."

"Now I understand if you don't want to I didn't mean to...wait just a clock tic you said yes?"

"Yes Elphie I did." she smiled.

"YES!" she put the ring on Galinda's finger and crashed her lips against the soft pink ones. She got a moan form her lover. In a flash they were naked and in the bed, everything else totally forgotten.

...xxx...

The next day neither girl wanted to move from there embrace they were sharing. Galinda lay on top of Elphaba her arms around her waist. Elphie just lie there stroking Galinda's blond curls. "come on now my pretty time to get up. We have a meeting with he Wizard today." her voice soft.

"Elphie I'm scared...I wish I was as brave as you." she held the green woman tighter.

"I know my pretty I'm scared too. Now let's get you up and dressed." they moved quickly and got a cab and they were off to see the Wizard. "Elphie slow down! I'm in heels and it's hard to keep up with you! I'm practically running here!"

No answer.

"Elphaba Thropp do you hear me?!" she said with a huff and angry face on. Elphaba kept on walking in her long usual strides and replied, "I hear you Glin but we can't be late or they won't let us in. Come on baby." she held out her hand for Galinda who gladly took it and sped her pace so she was even with Elphie.

They reached the gates just in time.

"Oh there you are Hun I thought you were going to be late...fat chance right?"

"But of course my pretty. The Great Green Bookworm is never late! Now point us in the direction of that Wizard!"

"Ok ok settle down stud. Down the hall and to the left a guard will escort you from there. Good luck."

"Thanks." they both said. They reached the door the guard showed them in and there they stood before the Wizard of Oz.

"Well well Miss Elphaba and Miss Galinda I presume. Nice to meet you ladies." she smiled and shook both their hands.

"A pleasure to meet you sir."

"Now what have you come for? Did Madam Morrible send you?"

"Yes sir she did but I was hoping to talk to you about the Animals rights. They are being treated unfairly sir. I've done lots of research with Dr.Dillamond and we've got stats that show Animals are just as smart as people. They deserve to be treated fairly."

"Miss Thropp the Animals are the least of my concerns right now. But I do wish to see your sorcery skills. If you please."

"Yes sir." she did a few simple spells which seemed to impress the Wizard.

"How would you like to be my magic grand vizier? We'll send Miss Galinda back to Shiz send for your things and you can help me here."

"Leave Galinda?" she held the small pale hands tight. "No sir I'm sorry I won't leave her. Either she stays with me or you lose me."

"You little fool you'd rather have this fake arrogant girl then a job with me The Wizard?!"

"Sir in all due respect I love her. So yes."

"Guards!" he thundered," Get this little wench and this frog out of my sight! Foolish little toad!" he came up and smack Elphaba hard in the face. "Your father was right you are a disgrace to him. And to your country as well." he smiled a cold smile that made Galinda shiver with anger.

"My father never loved me. I was a disgrace to him when I was born." she spat. Galinda looked around and seen a green bottle on the shelf. 'Miracle Elixir'.

"Elphie! Don't you see! The Wizard is your father! He has the same green bottle as you, you said they only made like two or three of these kind. Plus he looks a tad like you tall and skinny with long slender fingers and warm brown eyes."

"No this is not my father. I have no father. Come on Galinda were going back to Shiz."

"Good riddance!"

When he girls reached the lobby Alex hailed Elphie over to ask how it went.

"Wow heavy I'm sorry babe." she hugged there green girl close. Galinda watched in a seething fury Elphie sensed as she seen her face. "Elphaba I have a question for you."

"Ok Lexi shoot."

"Stay with me here Elphababy. I still love you I've waited all this time for you to return I don't think I could lose you again!" she ran into the green girls arms Elphaba stole a glance at Galinda who ran out the doors and into the strange city.

"Lex I love you but I can't I'm in love with Galinda. Were engaged." she said showing her the ring.

"But Elphaba you know you miss this." she kissed Elphie with a passion that stirred a flame within Elphaba. Her kisses were different from Galinda's. Different but not better. They pulled away both smiling. "Now don't tell me the little blond chick has that kind of spunk." she slid her hands onto Elphaba's breast's. "Elphie I've wanted you in my bed for so long now. Please don't make me wait. Elphaba only whispered something in her ear.

...xxx...

"Oh sweet Lurline I'm lost. Um I know I'll ask for directions. Yes that's the perfect answer. Excuse me sir."

"Buzz off kid."

She walked into a corner cafe and asked a young girl about her age drinking coffee where her hotel was.

"First time in the city Honey?"

"Yea I ran from my girlfriend and I guess I got lost. Do you know the way back?"

"Sure do your staying at my dad's hotel. Come on kid let's go." she paid her bill. "See ya Maddie!" she called to a black haired girl at the register.

"Don't have too much fun hot stuff that one might be taken."

"Oh shut up! Ready kid?"

"Sure. Umm can I ask your name?"

"Oh of course where are my manners? I'm Charlotte. And you my sweet?"

Galinda felt a lump form in her throat. Only Elphie ever called her that. "I'm Galinda. Nice to meet you Miss Charlotte."

"Please drop the title. Now what room are you?"

"I'm in the sweethearts room on the top floor."

"Cool your right next door from me! Want to stay over I mean if you want."

"Sure just let me grab some clothes. And write a note. Wow that wasn't far at all." she said seeing them back at the hotel.

"Nope everything just looks big." They went to their own rooms Galinda packed her clothes seeing as Elphie wasn't home yet.

She knocked at the door and Charlotte opened it in a pair of black boxers and a black almost see through bra. "Hey want to come on in and make yourself at home. I have coffee in the kitchen if ya want some cups are on the counter." She tugged off her bra and caught Galinda's blush. "Hey it's ok I mean were both girls here right?"

"Yes your right. Charlotte are you...straight?"

"Nope I'm a lesbian. How bout you?"

"No I'm bi."

"Oh. OH! That's great.. I mean cool. Er I mean." but Galinda put a finger to her lips.

"Shush I understand." they stayed up half the night and soon fell asleep. They awoke the next morning to find Galinda's head on Charlotte's chest. Galinda got up and kissed Charlotte softly and then wrote a note and went in her room.

When she walked in there she seen a sleeping Elphaba in the same clothes as yesterday no marks on her except for the black marks she recognized as tear marks.

'She was crying over me?' she wondered. 'Well of course she was you little fool! She loves you!' she went back and forth with herself until the green figured stirred.

"Ga Ga Galinda is that you?" she said dizzily. Her breath smelled of wine.

"Oh Elphie are you drunk?"

"No I just had a few drinks earlier I didn't get i till five. I was out looking for you. Where have you been?!"

"In Charlotte's room next door. Elphie what did you say to Alex when I left?"

"I told her I was in love with you and I only wanted you but we would always be friends. I told her we were engaged. Galinda I love you.

"I love you too. I'm going to go say bye to Charlotte then we'll leave. Pack the bags."

She went to Charlotte's and walked in. "Hey I'm leaving with Elphie."

"Aw ok see you love look me up next time your here." they hugged each other and said their goodbyes. Five days later the girls were back at Shiz. They walked hand in hand to their old dorm room and fell right on Galinda's bad and fell asleep in each other's arms.
