Hi, sorry it's been so since I last updated but hopefully this chapter was worth to wait :) Disclaimer – no I don't own wicked or any of the characters but I do own 3 tickets to see wicked on the 23rd may!! (Can't wait :D)

Elphaba stirred in her bed and she turned over to look at the clock on her bedside table. She groaned as she realised it was only 4am but she knew she wouldn't be able to sleep anymore so she dressed quickly and went for a moonlit walk around the campus of Shiz.

Elphaba had been having a wonderful dream about a certain prince but she tried to get it out of her mind because she knew that if she started wishing it would only hurt more to just be friends everyday and she couldn't lose Fiyero altogether, that was definitely out of the question. Elphaba realised she had been walking for quite a long time so she perched herself on a nearby bench. She began to sing to herself softly.

Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl

Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl

The sound of a twig snapping behind Elphaba startled her and she stopped midway through the song.

"Who's there?" She called out into the night angrily as she looked around her.

"It's just me... Fiyero" He said as he came out from his hiding place in the bushes. Great thought Elphaba, she was really quite annoyed that he seemed to be everywhere she went even at 4am! She then realised he had heard her singing – no one else had heard her other than her father but he had forced her to sing so that didn't count.

Fiyero sat down beside Elphaba and his mind wandered back to when he had kissed her just a few hours before.

"You really shouldn't go sneaking up on people like that you know!" She said trying to sound fierce but miserably failed as it only came out as a whisper.

"Elphaba, I never knew you had such an amazing voice and what was that song?" He responded.

"Um... thanks, the song is mine... I mean I wrote it" She said nervously but was secretly pleased by the compliment from Fiyero.

"Wow" He said with his eyes still fixed on Elphaba. Elphaba stared back not getting the double meaning of his words "how did you write it, it's really good!"

"I... I had some inspiration I suppose" She blushed

"Well, did that inspiration come from a person... I mean there was a lot of emotion in that..." He smiled to himself as he though about how deep he was sounding, so much had changed in him.

"Well..." She paused as she wondered what to say next and she shivered, the night air was getting a little cold.

"Are you warm enough?" Fiyero said "Here have my jacket"

Fiyero slipped his jacket from around his shoulders and placed it around Elphaba kindly. Fiyero's hands lingered around Elphaba's shoulders for just a moment longer than necessary.

"Thanks" Elphaba smiled at Fiyero "But won't you be cold?"

"No I'll be fine" He said but shivered anyway.

"Here we can share" Elphaba herself was amazed by what she had just suggested "If you want to... I mean..."

"That would be great" Fiyero chuckled as he moved closer to Elphaba to share the jacket. He put an arm around her shoulder for extra warmth too; he wanted to hold her properly but decided against it. At first Elphaba was a little tense but she almost immediately relaxed "Elphaba... I have really wanted to tell you something for a long time now and I don't know how to say it so I'm just going to say it..."

"Fiyero, please spare me... just get to the point already!" She laughed quietly as she turned to face him.

"Ok..." Fiyero paused as he wondered what he was going to say, he couldn't face being rejected by Elphaba... "Elphaba, I really like you... What I'm trying to say is... I want us to be together... as in a couple"

"What... Fiyero, I..." Elphaba caught her breath. Was this really happening or was it some dream?

"Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He waited eagerly for a response hoping, wishing and praying to the unnamed god that she would say yes.

"Fiyero, yes!" She smiled as he embraced her "Oh and by the way... the song... that was about... you"

"Oh thank Luraline!" He whispered taking in Elphaba's soft, silky skin and the beautiful scent in her hair that smelt like nothing he had ever smelt before. He pulled away slightly so he could look at her "Oh Oz, I wanted to do that for so long, you are so beautiful"

"Fiyero" Elphaba blushed and looked downwards "Please don't lie, I know I'm not beautiful and I can't understand why someone like you would want someone like me..."

"Elphaba, don't sell your self short! You're beautiful, intelligent, passionate, and fiery oh and..." He listed as he looked into her eyes.

"Ok Fiyero, I get the picture but it doesn't mean I believe you" She sighed as she melted into his loving arms "Fiyero..."

They stayed like that for a long time; just holding each other, neither one of them had ever felt like this before about anyone. They walked hand in hand back to the dormitories and decided to tell everyone the next day. Elphaba was nervous about ruining Fiyero's reputation but he had dismissed the idea about keeping their relationship a secret. In his words he said he wanted the whole of oz to know that he was dating Elphaba Thropp!

Both Elphaba and Fiyero had very sweet dreams that night.
