Half term Camping
It was now half term, Elphaba, Fiyero, Galinda and Boq decided that instead of being bored at Shiz for a whole two weeks they would go camping in a forest about twenty miles from Oz.
"Galinda hurry up, Fiyero and Boq will be here in 10 minutes! I really don't see why you need to take Ball gowns and high heels; we're going to be in a field for Oz sake!" Shouted Elphaba.
"Elphie, its important I look good ALL of the time!" Galinda said dramatically.
"Whatever Galinda just hurry up Ok!" Replied Elphaba.
Galinda gave up trying to pick out outfits and stuffed the whole contents of her closet into her three enormous, pink suitcases. Elphaba on the other hand had one suitcase with only the bare essentials she needed for the camping trip.
There was a knock at the door and Elphaba went to answer it.
"Oh come in you two, I'm ready but I'm afraid miss 'I have to look good all the time' is running a little late!" Said Elphaba sarcastically.
"Oh its ok, we're in no rush Miss Galinda!" Said Boq while looking dreamily at her.
Elphaba and Fiyero didn't seem to notice as they were too busy talking with each other to care about what the other two people in the room were doing.
Before long the four friends were sitting in a carriage on their way to their camp site.
"It was a great idea to come camping Fiyero, I've never been before because my family were too afraid I would get lost in the greenery... Though I'm sure it was meant as an insult!" Elphaba said.
"There there don't worry, I'll never let you out of my sight... day or night... hey that rhymed... Ain't that right... I'll just hold you tight!" Teased Fiyero flirtatiously.
"Ahhhhh Elphie, he's so sweet to you... Its love poetry!" Sighed Galinda.
"I don't think that was intentional!" Elphaba remarked but smiled towards Fiyero anyway.
"Still... It's still sweet! I wish someone would do that for me!" She said.
Boq thought about something poetical in his head... unfortunately he couldn't come up with anything near as good as Fiyero's accidental poetry to Elphaba.
"I saw a tree, I was Happy, I say yippee" Boq said to Galinda.
"Eeerm.... that was a bit random... Moving on..." Galinda quickly said.
The carriage came to a stop and it was clear that they had arrived at their destination. The group stared out of the windows admiring the scenery when a bang on the roof disturbed them as the driver had become impatient.
"OK OK WE'RE GETTING OUT!" Elphaba called up to the driver
Soon they were in the perfect spot to pitch their two tents, one for the two girls and the other for the two boys. Whether it would stay this way no one knew.
After cosily sitting by the fire Galinda retired to the tent followed by Boq whilst Elphaba and Fiyero stayed outside to enjoy each others company some more before going back. Elphaba and Fiyero sat close to each other on the log they were sitting on while they shared memories of past happenings, many of which were funny.
"We better quieten down before we wake Galinda and Boq, I have to say, never in a million years did I see those two sharing a tent but I'm glad it worked out this way otherwise I'd have to share with her." Elphaba said.
"In that case I'm glad too!" replied Fiyero.
All of a sudden there was a mighty snore from the tent Galinda and Boq were sharing.
"That has to be Boq!" Fiyero concluded
"Mmmmmm shoes...." Came from the tent.
"GALINDA?" They said in unison.
They began to laugh so hard they fell backwards off the log they were sitting upon and laughed even more ferociously. They crawled their way to the tent and Elphaba said through giggles
"You'd better wait out here while I get changed." And then she disappeared into the tent.
Fiyero admired her slender shadow of her body that he could see on the tent. Thoughts went through his mind about Elphaba even though he knew nothing like that would happen between them tonight.
"Ok you can come in now" Elphaba called "I'll come out so you can change too"
Elphaba began to climb out of the tent but Fiyero pushed her back in playfully.
"No worries Fae, I'm not shy..." He said with a wink.
"But Yero..." She began but was soon cut off by the pitter-patter of rain on the tent roof. "Well I can't go outside now..."
Fiyero stripped off to his undergarments and slipped into his sleeping bag. He shuffled towards Elphaba who was lying down in her nightie with a dressing gown on top of it. They stared into each others eyes and slowly drifted into a deep sleep.
