AN: I was trying to update on christmas... but the website was acting funny so it didn't work... anyway I'm in London just saw wicked again and I released this needs a little more Ozian touch to it :P
Fiyero picked up a picture of a teenage girl kissing her boy friend's cheek. He particularly like this magazine because it reminded him of the fun times he and Elphaba used to have, like that time they went nerf gunning or laser tag or swimming even. The reason it reminded it of them was the girl was emerald green, not as dark as Elphaba but still emerald green, and The boy looked a bit like him when he was younger, only Fiyero had sandy blonde hair, and to top it off the headline was "Our reining prince Fiyero has found his Fae". He started reading it again when Elphaba walked in. "Fiyero what are you doing?" Fiyero grunted in response so Elphaba snatched the magazine off of him "HEY!"
Elphaba chuckled at his protest "were'd you find this?"
Fiyero ran his hand through his dirty blonde hair "I was grocery shopping-"
Elphaba raised an eyebrow "since when do you go grocery shopping?"
"Since for ever!" Elphaba laughed again "and I saw a whole section on these two. The girl's name is Maria and the boy is a famous actor named Derek Klena."
"Isn't he the guy who played you in wicked when we saw it?" Elphaba muttered glancing at the page
"Yeah" Fiyero replied
Elphaba smiled at the photos "they sure do look happy"
"Kinda like we were" Fiyero was looking at the photos as well now "Maybe we should look around and see if we can meet them"
"And do what? Freak them out?"
"No! Maybe just get to know them"
"Fiyero it's no point. Besides. It says that since she's still in Uni they don't want to give her location away until she graduates. All we can do if we want to meet them is try and see if we can spot them together… and that is probably really unlikely" Fiyero snorted "I'm serious yero"
"I am too fae! i think we could help them out!"
Elphaba frowned when she finally realized something. Maria looked a lot like their daughter, Flori. 'but that's impossible! we gave her up years ago!' Fiyero noticed Elphaba's expression and started to worry "Fae? hello? vinkus to fae? fae?" Elphaba snapped out of what seemed like a trance "um… sorry… she just looks a lot like-"
"Flori… I know that's the strange thing."
"Why?"
"Cause I bought this magazine a few months ago. And this is one of the latest" Fiyero picked up another magazine, this time Maria and Derek were standing together. Maria's back was against Derek's chest and they were looking at each other, the only different thing was that Maria's once raven hair had faint streaks of whitish blonde and orangish red. "well that's strange…" Elphaba muttered grabbing a bag
"What are you doing?" Fiyero asked suddenly confusified standing up
"That hair streaking didn't happen till I was thirty" Elphaba uttered packing the bag
"So? you don't have streaks!"
"Yes I do. Purple ones." Elphaba protested. Running her hand through her hair she revealed dark violet streaks in her hair, Fiyero's mouth made a perfect 'O' shape "Again… So?"
"Soo… if it's happening this fast then she's coming into her powers" Elphaba explained quickly packing the bag full of strange items Fiyero had never seen before "Where'd you get all that?"
"I've always had it. You just never looked"
"Oh… anyway why are you so suddenly 'keen' to find this girl?"
"Because if she's coming into her powers then morrible's gonna try to take the throne" Elphaba pushed past him going into the kitchen, he followed "And if she gets the throne then" she turned to him "All of Oz and the world is in trouble. It's high time the rulers came back" Fiyero gulped "Don't be such a coward. Just because you're not a scarecrow anymore doesn't mean you'll get hurt…" Fiyero had a look on his face, the 'of course not' look "Okay you will get some cuts and bruises but that won't matter" Elphaba admitted, shaking her head before walking back to the bed room and packing some cloths and money. "Where exactly are we going?"
"We are going to stay at a hotel around maria's house" Elphaba said proudly as she produced a brochure, Fiyero gasped "They live by the beach?" Elphaba nodded "That hotel looks awesome" Elphaba nodded "AND IT'S EIGHT STAR?!" Elphaba laughed "YOU MEAN I CAN HAVE A MASSAGE AND RELAX IN A JACUZI AND SAVE THE WOLRD?!" Elphaba was in midst cackling fits "Yes… you… you can" she managed to say between cackles and laughs.
Maria hasn't been sleeping for the last couple of weeks, dark circles under her eyes, always in bad moods. Derek is was really worried so he asked Cecelia for advice "Cece?"they were walking down the beach that morning "Yes DK?"
"I'm worried about May"
"I can tell. Never mind her not being able to sleep. You haven't been sleeping for months now" she joked swatting his arm
"Yeah… how do I cheer her up?"
Maria was in her room with Peach, Maria sleep talks and accidentally told her and asked her to keep it a secret, "I feel like I'm lying to them P! I can't sleep because of nightmares I have and they're getting worse!"
Peach sighed and hugged her friend "It's okay Maria. You'll get through this! don't worry! You just need to trust everyone just like you trust me." Maria thought about it then finally pulled away
"You're right… but how do I tell them?"
Cecelia thought for a moment placing a finger on her pink lips "Well she does like cupcakes… chocolate ones. With blue icing" Derek nodded and hugged the girl "Thank you so much!"
Cecelia smiled wildly trying not to faint. "Y-your w-welcome" she stuttered still enjoying the moment.
"You have to just tell them when they come home to check on you, I'll call them and tell them that you have something to tell them" Peach got on her iPhone and opened up their group chat on iMessage.
Derek let go of Cecelia when his phone rang, letting her slump to the ground. "Um… Cece?"
"Yeah"
"I thought you were over the fangirling stage"
"I was… until you hugged me" Cecelia stuck out her tongue, Derek did the same before checking his messages. "Hang on-"
"Sure!" Ceceli shouted grabbing Derek into another hug "Not literally!"
"sorry…" Cecelia let the actor go
"Peach said that May has something she needs to tell us" Derek muttered worriedly
"We should get over there" Cecelia murmured as Derek put his phone away, he nodded and they sprinted across the beach giggling and laughing when they tried to push each other into the the water or down on to the sand. Elphaba smiled in the distance and shook Fiyero awake. "wha?"
"Look! there!" Elphaba pointed to the two messing on the beach, Fiyero laughed when Derek pushed Cecelia in the water "HA!"
"ha. Ha. HA!" Cecelia yelled when she pulled him in at the last second
"HEY!" Cecelia just laughed and got out, Derek following closely and grabbing her, throwing her in again "MUWHAHAHA!"
"Seriously?!" Cecelia asked amused "You wanna challenge me?"
"Yes. Yes I do"
"Then Derek. You're in for it!" Cecelia jumped out of the water and pulled him in, when he came up splashing her ,she immediately got out and stuck her tongue out "HA! I win!"
Fiyero laughed again before picking Elphaba up and dropping her in the pool "OZ DANGIT FIYERO!" Fiyero just laughed, until it was his turn to fall into the pool.
Maria was sitting on the couch when Derek and Cecelia had come home. "What on earth?!"
Cecelia laughed "We were on the beach and got a little hyper"
"A little? Cece! You two are soaking!" Maria bit her lip
"I know" Cecelia grinned before getting serious "Mimi. What did you want to tell us?"
Maria fidgeted with her hands before standing up "That doesn't matter right now. We need to get you two warmed up before you catch something" as if on cue Ali and Lindsay walked through the door "Hiya-" Ali spotted Derek and Cecelia and got her blow dryer out "Time to dry off" She declared holding her blow dryer in a James Bond pose making it blow two times before she strut over and started drying them. "Ali? You do know they need to get out of those clothes right?" Ali looked at Lindsay for a second "Of course! I'm not that dumb" Ali put the blow dryer down and grabbed Cecelia's hand, dragging her upstairs to find Peach, Lindsay just chuckled and followed her upstairs. Maria was about to go but Derek stopped her "Hey. Is everything okay?"
"Yes" she saw the skeptical look on his face "No"
"What's wrong? Are you sick? Are you badly hurt?"
"No. I'm an alien" Maria replied sarcastically rolling her eyes "I'll tell you when everyone's here" she informed pecking his lips and running to her room, leaving him confusified.
two hours later everyone else finally came, they all settled in the living room on the couch, staring Maria down like she was expected to bolt from the room. Lindsay finally broke the silence and cleared her throat "Maria. What did you want to tell us?"
Maria twisted her hands nervously, giving Lindsay the signal that something was wrong "Maria" she said in a motherly tone
"Morrible's coming to get me in a couple years" everyone looked at her shocked and confused "I signed a contract…"Maria's eyes filled with heavy tears "I'm supposed to go with her forever-" a sob racked her through her body, she didn't need to say more, cecelia, Ali and Lindsay grabbed her in a hug. Maria tried her best to sound clear "She's going to keep me imprisoned there until she needs me to- to th- threaten th- the citizens of Oz"
"Shhhhh. You don't need to say any more. Shhhhh. It's okay. It's okay" Ali cooed rubbing circles up and down her back as Maria sobbed. Derek frowned "Why did you sign the contract?"
Maria sobbed again "She said if I didn't then she would hunt everyone down and-" Maria didn't need to finish, the room was in silence for what seemed like forever. Until Nia tried to lighten the mood "I really mustache you a question but I'll shave it for later"
"Really Nia? you can do better than that!" Peach teased "Ninjabreadman!"
Nia glared at her "It's on! People hate when the sentence doesn't end the way potato"
"Challenge accepted!" Peach smirked "Anything unrelated to Elephant is Irrelephant!"
"I can't hear over the sound of how epic I am!" Nia shot back
Peach leaned back on the couch, swinging her legs onto the table and her arms crossed behind her head "I can't brain today. I've got the dumb"
"If life gives you lemons. Keep them. Because. Hey. Free lemons" Nia chirped
"You got be kitten me!" Bonnie yelled, nudging Nia making her fall of the arm of the couch "Who's on first?"
"Bigfoot! hide and seek champion!" Peach shouted
Nia peeked up from the edge of the table "Awwwwsasin!"
"Come to the nerd side. We have PI!" Bonnie screamed
"Ain't nobody got time for that" Raé shrugged
Bunii jumped onto the table and started dancing "I'm rexy and I know it!"
Maria, Ali, Lindsay and Derek looked at the teenagers confused. Cecelia just shrugged and started dancing with Bunnii "Parkor!"
Maria leaned over to Ali "What's 'Parkor'?"
Ali shrugged "Something cool"
"We really should't have let them have mountain dew…" Lindsay finally blurted out after an hour of dancing and jokes, Maria nodded just as Ali joined in as well "Oh Oz how are we gonna- Derek! don't turn that on- never mind…" Maria and Lindsay just stared at the mess, it was actually pretty funny. Nia and Peach were still having a joke competition. Cecelia, Ali and Bunii were dancing the night away. Derek, Raé and Bonnie were having a funny face challenge along with Fiyero's dancing through life routine, how fast they can do it. Tom walked through the door with two guests "Okay- WHOA!" The guests giggled at the group in the center of the room "Um… Guys?" the group stopped and gawked at the mess around them, Maria was tapping her foot and Lindsay was struggling to control her laughter "My dad is home. With guests" Maria said through clenched teeth, pulling her lips into a smile. Derek cleared his throat "Um… Hello I'm Derek. This is Raé, Nia, Peach, Bunii, Bonnie, Maria, Cecelia, Ali and Lindsay. And you are?"
the woman smiled "I'm Elpha-" the man nudged her "Elise. My name is Elise" she stuttered rubbing her arm and stepping into the light, taking off her coat. The man grinned"I'm Fillip"he announced taking off his coat. Maria walked over to her dad "Are they staying for dinner?" Tom nodded and Maria rushed into the kitchen to get dinner ready. Bunii walked over to Tom "Who are they? why are they here?"
Tom helped the woman with her suitcase "They are friends from out of the country, they'll be staying for awhile" Bunii shrugged and showed the young couple to the living room.
The dinner was quieter than everyone would've expected. Only a couple words exchanged between the couple or the teenagers about either Maria's and Elise's coincidence in their skin color or how awkward this was, then more silence. Maria sighed finally breaking the silence "Hows work Elise?"
"Fine. Hows school?" Elise asked, forking her salad
"Okay" Maria struggled to find something to start up a conversation and then an idea struck her "Have you seen wicked?"
she saw the green woman's face visibly brighten 'maybe I might slip something in there' Elise thought "Yes. It was amazing. The music. The singing. Everything was just amazing. I especially liked the three main characters" Fillip saw were his wife was going with this "Ellie" he warned. "What? it's just my opinion" she shrugged
AN: SO here's the scoop so you don't get confusified:
Elise: Elphaba
Fillip: Fiyero
