Without further delay here is the 6th chapter :)

A few hours later Elphaba heard her alarm and awoke immediately with a smile on her face. Galinda rubbed her eyes on the other side of the room as she tried to open her eyes. When she did se noticed the huge smile plastered across Elphaba's face and was quite alarmed as it was a very rare occurrence.

"Elphie?" Galinda yawned as she ran over to sit next to Elphaba on her bed "Why are you so happy this early in the morning?"

Galinda didn't get an answer because there was a knock at the door.

"Oh my, who would that be this early?" Galinda said as she watched Elphaba walk over to the door.

"Sorry to bother you so early Elphaba, but I couldn't wait..." Fiyero laughed and walked into the dorm room.

"Fiyero!" Elphaba said excitedly earning a confused look from Galinda. Fiyero stepped forward towards Elphaba and embraced her warmly.

"Is there something you guys aren't telling me?" Galinda puzzled "Oh. My. Oz! You two are... dating!!! Oh Elphie that's so wonderful"

"Yes, I think so too!" Fiyero flirted still holding Elphaba in his arms, He placed a small kiss on her head.

"Awwwwww that's so sweet!" Galinda squealed as she ran into the bathroom to get changed.

Elphaba and Fiyero sat down on the small sofa that the two girls had in their dorm room. They had no classes today so they decided that they would gather up the group and go out. Galinda of course was thrilled by this and she couldn't wait to announce the new couple to everyone. Two hours later Elphaba and Galinda were ready and they had gathered up some people to go on a picnic; Galinda, Elphaba, Fiyero, Boq, Nessa, Shen-shen, Pfannee and Avaric sat in a clearing in the Great Gillikin Forest enjoying their day off for this week.

"Ok everyone I have an announcement to make that is so thrillifying!" Galinda chirped to the group and stood up.

"Is it really that important?" Avaric sneered.

"Yes of course, now listen!" Galinda said loudly "Fiyero and Elphaba are dating! Isn't that great?!?!"

"What, you mean the artichoke actually managed to bag herself a prince!" Shen-shen mocked earning a glare from Galinda.

"Yeah right, now really Galinda what's the big announcement?" Avaric joked hoping to earn a few laughs but only Pfannee and Shen-shen obliged. Fiyero got up from his seat next to Elphaba and went to challenge Avaric.

"Hey, you'd better stop saying things like that or I assure you, you'll regret it!" Fiyero shouted angrily "Elphaba is my girlfriend and we couldn't be happier, do you have a problem with that?!?!"

"Hey, calm down it was only a joke!" Avaric said as he cowered away from Fiyero. Fiyero went back to his seat next to Elphaba and slipped his arm around her, he wanted her to know how much he cared for her.

"Fiyero, just don't listen to them... I'm used to it it's no problem" Elphaba whispered in Fiyero's ear.

"It doesn't make it right though" He answered quietly before kissing her with more force than the previous times "You're beautiful, Fae!"

"Fae? Where did that come from?" Elphaba asked as she tried to catch her breath from the rather heated kiss.

"I don't know, it just kind of... came to me" He smiled "You like it?"

"Yes actually" She said with a hint of surprise in her voice, her new nickname sounded so beautiful when it came from Fiyero's lips.

"WOULD YOU TWO CUT IT OUT!" Nessa shouted "You know father wouldn't approve Elphaba!"

"So what 'Father' happens to hate me anyway!" Elphaba said angrily then turned back to Fiyero "Well, if I have a nickname you need one too!"

"Ok, do you're worst" He joked softy.

"Hmmmmmm..." She paused as she racked her brain for a good nickname "I've got it!"

"Go on then, Fae" He said as he pulled her close so his warm breath tickled her skin.

"Ok then, Yero" She laughed "You like?"

"It's great" He chuckled. He had felt his heart flip when Elphaba had called him by his new nickname.

"Elphie, will you come for a walk with me?" Galinda asked "pleaseeeee Elphie?"

"Um, Ok Galinda" She called and then turned back to Fiyero rolling her eyes "I won't be long, her highness has heels the height of Morrible's hair, she'll soon be moaning! Bye Yero"

Galinda and Elphaba walked through the emerald forest chatting casually. Galinda had just wanted to have some time alone with her friend as she had been occupied by Fiyero for most of the day and Galinda had been stuck with the little munchkin whose name she could never remember. He hadn't been all that bad to talk to but after all he was only a munchkin.

"Elphie, I'm so happy for you!" Galinda said excitedly as she gave her a big hug "You smell like Fiyero!"

"Well, he has been hugging me all day Galinda!" Elphaba laughed "I've never been this happy Glin"

"Awwwwww, I'm so sorry about Avaric, Shen-shen and Pfannee! They're just jealous Elphie I'm sure of it" Galinda reassured "Is Fiyero you're first boyfriend?"

"As if you even have to ask!" Elphaba joked "Yes, he is!"

"Well, it's a good job you've got me then! I'm going to give you guy advice... trust me Elphie, I know Guys!" She said seriously and Elphaba groaned in protest then heard someone calling her name.

"I think that's Fiyero, I wonder what he wants" Elphaba said in a confused manner "Fiyero? Is that you?"

"Yeah..." He said as he ran into sight trying to get his breath back "Everyone was leaving and I didn't want to leave you alone so I thought I'd come find you"

"Oh ok, you want to join us for a walk then?" Elphaba asked as Galinda linked arms with her not wanting to feel left out.

"Ok then Fae, whatever you want" He answered and took her free hand in his. Elphaba had never felt so loved in her whole life and she had to admit it was scary... but in a very good way. After a while Galinda was getting tired so they decided to stop at a little river in the middle of the forest to sit down for a little while. The sun was still up in the sky shining down on them and it made the river glisten and sparkle daintily. The weather was very hot and as Elphaba's dress had only thin straps she had been sunburned. This made her skin turn darker and slightly more red than usual, it was also very painful.

"Did you bring any oil with you Fae?" Fiyero asked as he looked at the burns, Elphaba still flinched when he touched her suddenly but she was definitely becoming more accustomed to touching.

"Yeah, its in my bag" Elphaba replied as she pulled the oil out of her bag and went to open the bottle.

"Let me Fae, I can reach better" Fiyero said kindly and took the bottle from her. He then pushed the straps of her dress down a little so he could get to the burns better and poured some oil into his hands. He rubbed her shoulders gently with his warm, soft hands making sure he didn't hurt her. When Fiyero was sure he wasn't hurting her he began to rub in circles being careful not to miss a spot. Elphaba let out a moan as he did this and Fiyero grinned.

"How was that?" He said flirtatiously and wrapped his arms around her from behind.

"Mmmm" Elphaba said with her eyes still closed "Great"

"Maybe later when we get back to Shiz I could do you're back too?" He contemplated not thinking she would say yes. But it was worth a try right?

"Maybe" She said in a hushed tone so Galinda didn't hear then turned around to face him. Their lips locked immediately in a force of passion.

"Come on guys, I really want to get back!" Galinda whined. A few minutes later they started to walk back, they knew it would take a good hour so they didn't make any stops on the way back.

When finally they arrived back at Shiz Galinda went straight back up to the dorm room so she could beautify herself for he party she was going to tonight – Elphaba had refused this invitation already. Fiyero suggested they go back to his room because Elphaba didn't want to face another galindafication makeover.

Fiyero unlocked the door with his key and Elphaba started to feel a bit apprehensive. She had never been in a boy's dorm room before. She quickly told herself she was being silly and she was. After all Fiyero wasn't going to hurt her! She wondered how she could trust him so easily as she sat down on his huge double bed and looked around the room. It was just a normal room with a few princely perks. Elphaba blushed as Fiyero sat next to her, she was very aware that they were sitting on his bed... alone.

"So Fae, did you have a good time today?" He asked then placed a strand of hair that had escaped from Elphaba's braid behind her ear.

"It was really great" She said looking down at her hands.

"What's wrong?" Fiyero said puzzled but he then realised what was going through her mind when he looked into her eyes, he could read her like a book "Fae, you know I wouldn't pressure you into anything right?"

"Yes of course Yero, I trust you" She said sincerely and let out the breath she hadn't known she was holding in "It's just I've never had this before, I mean I've never had a relationship of any kind..."

"Hey, I don't care... I think you're wonderful" He said as he shot her the handsome, lopsided grin that she loved so much. He held her hands in his and she too gave a small smile in response. Fiyero couldn't comprehend why all the boys in Oz weren't lining up for attention from his beautiful green goddess, she really was the most amazing person he had ever met and he felt so lucky to have her all to himself... well, almost to himself because he still had to share with Galinda.

Elphaba on the other hand was still wondering why and how she had ended up with someone as perfect as Fiyero. She loved everything about him from his annoying habit of attention seeking to those gorgeous blue diamonds on his chest. She couldn't help but think something was going to go wrong, nothing had ever worked out for Elphaba before this but she was going to do the best that she could to make sure this was different.
