I know it's icky and short. This is a one time thing, trust me. :)

Reviews are appreciated on all chapters! Not just this shorty one! :)


Elphaba woke up exactly on schedule: 12 o'clock. She swiftly got out of bed and was instantly out the door and walking back to Fiyero's bedroom.

Once there, she walked to his bed and placed her wrist on his forehead. Normal, thank Oz. Then, she placed her first two fingers on his wrist, smiling despite herself when she could feel his pulse beating stronger than before. Elphaba leaned down, her cheek right above his mouth once again. Breath.

Elphaba kissed Fiyero's lips gently and straightened. "I love you Yero, I'll be back in two hours. Stay strong."

And she exited the room quickly, moving back to Glinda's room and getting back into bed. As she did so, she looked over at Glinda, who had fallen asleep with the handkerchief in her hand. Confused, Elphaba picked it up, realizing what her friend had done when she felt a slight discomfort in her fingertips. It was damp.

Placing it on Glinda's nightstand, Elphaba pulled the blankets over herself, feeling where her tears would have fallen. Oh, so she had burned herself. From the pain that was coming from it, only a few had traveled down her face. Glinda had taken care of the rest. She glanced at Glinda before closing her eyes and forcing herself to fall back asleep. It was 12:30. She would wake up at 2:30.
