Chapter 5/We're Okay

Weeks past and Glinda still went out of her way to see Fiyero everyday in the hospital while he recuperated. Her normal days usually started off by waking up early, then taking care of any official business with the rest of Oz. Then in the afternoon during visiting hours she would stop by the hospital and sit with Fiyero for a few hours. Then she would head to the theatre and work with the cast until the moon was high in the sky.

Eventually as the time went by Fiyero's pain level started to decrease as his injuries started to heal. Occasionally Boq or the rest of the gang would drop by also to see how he was recovering. It was during one of these visits with everyone there that Glinda's brain hatched an idea.

They were all sitting together laughing and joking around while Glinda watched, just thinking to herself. She noticed how Fiyero was getting along with the whole cast and her mind wandered to the fact that a male role was still open. And it would definitely be a plus to have someone who already had a background with the cast to play the role. A smile graced Glinda's face as the idea started to take shape.

******

It took 8 weeks for Fiyero to completely heal physically. He still hurt emotionally though. At night everyone would leave and Fiyero would be left alone to think. Something he never would have even dreamed of back when he was just dancing through life.

When he would fall asleep his dreams would be plagued by the painful memories of his past. Some nights he would wake up in the dead of night in a cold sweat, crying out into the darkness frantically searching for someone, anyone. But to his despair, he would find his room empty and dark with only the light from the moon coming through the window to outline the machines hooked up to his body.

It was nights like these when Fiyero would stare out the window and just watch the moon glow.

They were running. Running so fast that the trees seemed to fly past them in a whirl of green and brown. And then the forest stood still.

Heavy breathing.

"You know this can't last, right?" Raised black eyebrow.

Smile.

"Then let's borrow the moonlight until this moment is through."

"Just for this moment?"

Nod.

"As long as you're mine."

And under that moonlight the two lovers shared a passionate kiss.

The moment would always come back to Fiyero whenever his gazed happened to rest upon the glowing white orb in the jet black sky. He found comfort during those restless nights, just gazing into to the sky full of twinkling stars. When he stared at the moon and the stars in that vast sky, it made him feel like Elphaba was there with him. When the moonlight flooded into his room and washed over him, it felt as if she was the moon watching over him, keeping him safe.

And with those thoughts he would drift back to sleep.

The next day when Glinda came to visit, his parents were also present. Glinda gave them a polite smile and walked over to the chair she had sat in everyday.

"How are you feeling," she asked as she sat down.

"Better than when I first came here. I can probably walk if I didn't have all this crap hooked up to me!" He laughed.

Glinda smiled and was about to reply when the door opened to reveal the doctor. He casually walked up to the end of Fiyero's bed.

"Well I have good news. Your latest x-rays showed that all of the injuries you distained during the attack have healed. And rather quickly I might add," he announced. He then laughed. "It's like your bones got a good helping from magic!"

They all looked at Glinda.

"Well don't look at me! I didn't perform any spells on him! The only person who could've done a spell on him was-" She realized what she almost said and cast her eyes towards the floor.

The doctor then cleared his throat rather loudly and began speaking once more. "Well then, after I looked at your x-rays I have concluded that you may be released from our care as soon as tomorrow."

Fiyero, his parents and Glinda all at once yelled, "Tomorrow?!"

The doctor nodded. "All you have to do is fill out some paperwork," he gestured towards some papers in his hand. "And then Fiyero will be free to leave the care of the hospital and into the care of- well of whoever will be taking care of him. Well I must be off now; a man just came in with an axe in his head saying that the axe was cursed by that Wicked Witch of the East. Of course I'm only repeating what he said. Well I'll just leave the paperwork here for you to fill out."

And then he was gone.

Fiyero's father immediately reached for the paperwork and began filling it out. Fiyero's mother sat down on the side of Fiyero's bed and hugged him.

"Oh I'm so happy! You're all better and now I can take my baby home," she cried.

Fiyero's face fell and he sighed. "Mom," he began.

The queen looked up at him with hopeful eyes. "Yes my little prince?"

Fiyero grimaced at the nickname. He cleared his throat then concluded, "I think I'll stay in the city for awhile and catch up with some old friends." He looked at Glinda and smiled.

His mother was dumbstruck. "But- Fiyero, don't you want to come home to the Vinkus and prepare to be king," she whined.

"Let Malik do it! He's way smarter than me and he wants to be king," Fiyero suggested.

The queen was in awe. "So what, you're just not going to do it anymore?! You are the heir and your younger brother is not! He doesn't know how to rule a country!"

"Well neither am I! And I'm sure that after you learned I 'died' you went and got him ready to be the future king," he scoffed.

"Well maybe we did. However that does not mean he is replacing you! You can still be king!"

"Yeah, but I don't want to!"

"Fine! You can stay here but where are you planning on living?"

Fiyero hesitated. He hadn't thought of that before.

Glinda, who had been watching the argument, spoke up. "Well, he's perfectly welcome at the palace. Oz knows there's enough room! All of our friends are already staying there and there are still two empty wings," she laughed.

The queen looked at Glinda distastefully. "Well fine! You two have fun doing whatever you'll be doing!"

By this time Fiyero's father had finish the paperwork and set it down on an end table. He stood up and gently grabbed his wife's arm. "Come on dear, it's starting to get late," he coaxed.

She batted his hand away and stomped over to the door. She swung the door open and left with a great huff, slamming the door behind her.

The king just shook his head. "She's not just a queen, she's a drama queen, but I love her anyway. Well we'll come by tomorrow and say goodbye together. Now I should probably get going before she makes too much of a fuss," he chortled. "Goodnight," he declared.

Glinda and Fiyero mumbled there goodbyes and the king left, leaving the pair alone.

There was a moment of silence then Fiyero acknowledged, "Thank you."

Glinda gave him a rather confused look. "For what?"

"For offering me a place to stay. You didn't have to do that."

She patted his arm softly. "Well of course I did! You're one of my closest friends and I refuse to let you live in some run down apartment!"

He gave her his world famous smile and tears rimmed his eyes. So much loved filled his heart for her at that moment for her compassion and selflessness. However the love he felt for her was just a brother-sister love and nothing more.

Glinda on the other hand had different thoughts. As she sat there and saw him vulnerable, she realized how much he, no, they needed a friend. Her heart just filled with so much love for him at that moment. Then all the memories from when they were dating and when they were engaged just rushed at her.

Neither of them knew what they were doing but Fiyero soon found Glinda's lips upon his. The kiss wasn't passionate or deep, yet it said everything they couldn't say. It lasted for a moment, before Glinda realized what she was doing and pulled back immediately.

She gasped, "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to do that! Please don't hate me! I-"

He put a finger to her lips to cut off her rambling. "Shhh. Its fine, I don't hate you. You deserve it."

"Deserve what," she asked.

He laughed, "A kiss, you deserved a kiss. I mean after all I left you for your best friend even though we were engaged. But I want you to understand that I did love you when my old self first met you. But I suppose it was just attraction. But do know that I love you as a sister and I'd do anything to protect you."

He then leaned up and gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek. When he pulled away he saw tears falling from Glinda's blue eyes and he wiped them away with his thumb. Glinda then leaned over and hugged him, resting her head on his shoulder. He patted her back to comfort her and heard her mumbling something that sounded like, "She's very lucky to have your heart."

They stayed like that for an hour and then Glinda excused herself seeing as she had a rehearsal with the cast and she was already an hour late. Before she left she assured Fiyero that she would be there tomorrow with the rest of their friends to come pick him up from the hospital. And then she left before any nurses could yell at her that it was past visiting hours.

******

Glinda arrived at the hospital the next day with the whole cast in tow. However, as they reached the building there seemed to be what looked like a mob forming outside of the main doors. They were yelling and shouting but it all was meshed together so Glinda could not make out what they were screaming. However, some of them held signs that Glinda could read perfectly. Her heart dropped to her stomach. Painted in red on white paper were the words:

Kill The Traitor!

Glinda quickly ordered the carriage driver to go to the back entrance of the hospital away from the crowd. They all ran inside and called the elevator to take them to the fifth floor. They then ran down the hallway where they knew Fiyero's room was and slammed the door open. Inside they found Fiyero sitting on the edge of his bed with all of the tubes and wires disconnected from his body. The doctor stood talking to Fiyero but stopped upon hearing the door wing open.

Glinda was breathing heavy trying to catch her breath and blurted, "What's going on outside?!"

The doctor sighed and replied, "Someone in the hospital, we have no idea who, told the Emerald City Post that Fiyero is still alive it's caused somewhat of a riot."

Glinda's eyes grew big but then after a moment Glinda mused, "Well then I guess we should put a stop to this riot then."

Everyone turned and gave her a confused look.

Glinda's lips slid into a smile.

******

The rioters stood on the steps of the hospital along with journalists when the front doors opened and out walked Glinda the Good. The reporters started screaming questions at her but she raised her had to silence the crowd. When it was silent, Glinda revealed, "Fellow Ozians. You were told a horrible lie many years ago that changed some lives forever. We were lead by a corrupt government, headed by the Wizard and Madame Morrible, his Press Secretary."

Everyone stared, shocked by the news. Behind Glinda the cast stood and unknowingly to the crowd, behind the cast stood Fiyero.

Soon Glinda began her story that she shared with many other people. She was determined to convince the Ozians that mostly everything they had been told during the Wizard's rule was a lie.

So she told them the story from the beginning. And she told them everything.
