Disclaimer: No don't own it...still hurts

A/N: Hey my lolves sorry the update has taken forever I had a bit of a writters block and so much school work guh but here's a free moment to write to ya'll please review. Love..me

They had been back at Shiz for about two weeks. After the initial yelling from Madam Morrible about not accepting the Wizards offer.

"Miss Thropp!!"

"Yes?" Elp[hie asked through gritted teeth. This was the thrid time this week the Head had called them into her office this week and it was only Tuesday.

"I would like a word with you and Miss Galinda. If you please?"

"Another word? Whats this one about?"

"I want to ask you about your romantic relationship with her." this was a shock she asked about the turnng the offer down not telling her they were leaving turning the offer down sneaking Galinda out of school and most of all turning that offer down!

Both of their breaths caught in t heir throats. They were nervous Galinda wasn't going to her english class and Elphie wasn't going to life sciences. They walked in looking down at the floor...again.

"Now girl I trust that you both know that your relationship." she mumbles the words as if ashamed to say them,"Has caught the attention of many teachers a students. And teachers."

"Yes I think were quite aware of that." Elphie snapped irritated about missing one of her flavorite classes.

"Well I was going to ask you what you plan to do about it."

"Do?" Galinda repeated. "What do you mean do?"

"Well break it off you know. I'm sure Miss Galinda can play it off as a joke. I'm sure you'll think of something."

"How about we keep things the way they are?" Elphaba snapped. Her face set deep in a scowl as Galinda squeezed her hand.

"Miss Elphaba this schoool has a reputation to uphold if we go around letting...letting..."

"Bi's gays lesbians just say the words it's not a crime. Me and Galinda are in love. I am in no way going to say thats a jooke to the overly shallow crowds of Shiz or to anyone else." Galinda and Morrible could both see Elphie's temper getting out of control.

"Well Miss Elphaba you already have your reputation set in stone no matter where you go. Your a wicked wicked being. And always will be. But as for Miss Galinda here, she had a chance in socity a chance to be someone. Now if word gets out to the wealthy men of her time by time she's out of Shiz she will never be able to find a decent husband. Think of her." she had a queer smile on her face.

"Your right Galinda won't be able to find a rich wealthy husband. She won't need one she has me now and forever."

"You foolish green twit can't you see beneth that false warm exterior she is fake shallow. We both know that. That is why she will make a excelent spokes women for Oz. It's her destany. Yours however is underground where no one can see you planning your wicked retaliation against the Wondeful Wizard of Oz."

"He's not wonderful for the first thing. And secondly." Elphie gritted her teeth as she stood and towered over Morrible her dark chocolate eyes burned with a passion that Galinda never seen before. This passion both excited her and frightened her. The lights started to flicker the objects on the desk shook and rattled.

"Secondly Madam Morrible I don't think Mr. Upland would appreciate you talking to his lovely daughter this way." all three women all looked up to see Dr. Dillamond in the door way.

"Oh quiet you old fool. Mr. Upland doesn't care. He never did and never will. He simply wants to see her married off after Shiz this is his way of buying time until..." but she never got to finish.

"Until what Morrible?" the stren strong voice of Erik ?Upland rang through the room.

"Popsicle! Your here!" she cried as she ran up and hugged him close she missed her father terribley.

"Yes my child."

Oh Daddy I have someone I want you to meet."

"Hello sir. I'm Elphaba Thropp the Thrid Decending. A pleasure to meet you." she managed to mumble shakily as she extended her trembling hand.

"Hello Elphie. Galinda writes so many letters about you. Please my girl calm down. I'll not hurt you as long as I know Galinda's happy and being well cared for I welcome you into the family."

"Thank you sir. And you Dr. Dillamond." she hgged them both.

"As for you Morrible I intend to keep a close eye on you. If I hear you raise your voice to my daughter or her love I'll have you sacked! Thats a promise I'll make you see that I keep. Good day to you. Dr. Dillamond I thank you too."

"Tell Momsie I say hi and I love her."

"I promise." he hugged Galinda and walked out as quietly as he came.

"You are dismissed girls good day your excused from your classes."

"Thank you." both girls said in unison and walked out hand in hand.

...x...

Weeks passes the girls were closer and closer everyday. Soon gradutaion time came. Both girls passed wonderfully.

"Elphie what now? We never talked about this we always took it one day a ta time. I can't leave you."

"Not can I leave you my sweet."

"No ones leaving anyone around here."

"Momsie!"

"Galinda darling!" both women rushed into each others arms golden haor flying everywhere squeals of laughter filled the air.

"Elphie this is my mother."

"Pleasure to meet you Mrs. Upland." she held out her hand. Instead she was pulle dinto a bone crushing hug.

"Now now my dear." she started in a firm tone. "None of this Mrs. Upland nonsense you'll call me Ida or Momsie."

"Ok Mrs. Ida but I can't breath."

"Oh yes yes my dear sorry. And drop the title it's just Ida."

"Oh well Galinda I'll let you go with your mother. Goodbye my love."

"Now wait just a clock tic whats all this goodbye nonsense? Elphie your somming with me with us back to the Upland estate. Come your things have already been put away."

They arrived at the estate rather quickly as Elphie stepped out she looked upon what would unfold to be a brighter future. As she took Galindas hand and walked inside she knew this was so right.

A/N: Hey all now I know this sounds like the end but one more short chapter to go and then the sequal. So leave me love R&R.
