It was time for Classes. No one wanted the break to end but as they say all good things must come to an end.
"Come on Galinda, we're going to be late for class!" Called Elphaba.
"I'll be ready in a minute Elphie, I just need to Beautify myself!" Galinda replied as Elphaba rolled her eyes at the response.
Finally Galinda was ready and they made their way to their separate classes. Galinda had politics and Elphaba had life sciences, she was glad to have this class first because it would give her a chance to talk to Fiyero. She smiled at him and took her seat next to him.
"Good morning Class, before half term we were talking about the great drought. We're going to carry on with this subject so please take your exercise books and pens out and take some notes from the board." Dr Dillamond ordered.
Fiyero nudged Elphaba and asked for a pen, she rolled her eyes and agreed to lend him one. It was the first day back after half term and he was already depending on her.
Fiyero nudged her again and pointed towards someone in the class, Elphaba tried her best not to pay attention to his silly antics but gave in and looked anyway. It was Avaric!
"I think he made a prettier pair of shoes" Fiyero whispered into Elphaba's ear. This made her giggle quietly as she thought of how Galinda had turned him into a pair of blue high heels. Avaric glared at them but this only made their laughter grow.
Elphaba had history next so she separated from Fiyero and began walking to her history classroom. She unwillingly remembered that she had to sit next to Avaric in this class and she groaned to herself at the thought of having to sit next to him for a whole hour.
"Hello Artichoke" Avaric sneered.
"Hello Avaric" Elphaba replied with an equal amount of malice.
"You just listen Greenie, one day... when Fiyero isn't there to protect you... I'll get you back... If it's the last thing I do!" He whispered in her ear with evil in his voice and she gasped at the threat that had just been made.
The hour passed slowly with many glares between the two enemies but finally the class was over and Elphaba dashed out to find Fiyero. This was the first time she had actually been scared of someone.
"Fiyero there you are!" She said with relief as she ran up to him and gave him a huge hug.
"Fae is something wrong? ... not that I don't appreciate being greeted this way!" He said returning the hug.
"Well yes, it's Avaric... She answered.
"WHAT! What did he say?" He asked holding her tighter.
"He said that when you aren't there to protect me he would get me back if it's the last thing he does." She said with a tinge of fear in her voice "I know what he's capable of... he would have killed me with the water... if not for you..."
"Fae, I'll always be here for you! Where the heck is Avaric? ... I'm going to kill him; he can't make threats like that and get away with it!" He said with anger building up inside of him.
"Yero, calm down... He's not worthy of a fight... Just don't leave me." She said through tears that burned her face. Fiyero wiped them away with his shirt and took her back to his dorm room to comfort her.
He opened the door with a key he pulled from his pocket and let her inside.
"Welcome to my humble home" He said mischievously making Elphaba feel a little better.
"Thanks Yero, I don't know what I'd do without you" Elphaba said thankfully as she made her way to sit on the corner of his bed.
"No problem, you know I'd do anything for you!" He replied whilst sitting down next to her and putting a comforting arm around her. After a while Elphaba decided she should go because Galinda would be worried about her, Fiyero walked her back to her room not wanting to leave her vulnerable to Avaric. He would never forgive himself if anything happened to her.
"Elphie, where have you been?!" asked Galinda.
"Sorry Galinda... I was a bit upset after my history class..." Elphaba looked at the floor as she said this.
"It's ok Fae, I'll explain" He offered "You see Galinda, Avaric threatened her... he basically said that when I'm not around... he would get her back if it was the last thing he does."
"Oh no... Elphie!" Galinda threw herself across the room at her friend pulling her into a hug "He's such a meanie! I'll turn him into a toad or... or... a bubble... if he dare touch you! Come on Fiyero... GROUP HUG!"
Fiyero laughed and joined the 'Group hug' to please Galinda.
"Fiyero, I have decided that you're staying here tonight!" Galinda began "My Elphie needs you!"
"Galinda what if Fiyero doesn't want..." Elphaba started but was interrupted by Fiyero.
"No she's right Fae; I'm staying here!" He said with determination.
"OMG I could give you both makeovers!" Galinda squealed.
"NO!" Elphaba and Fiyero shouted in unison.
"Awwwwww come on guys, it would be so FUN! I could give you matching outfits... Matching hair..." Galinda contemplated.
"Galinda, I know I speak for myself and Fiyero when I say this..." Elphaba continued "No matching clothes, hair or anything else! Do you seriously think we would want to look like... well, mini Galinda's?"
"Hey actually, I think this pink ball gown would look so great on me..." Fiyero joked as he held up a totally pink and puffy ball gown with LOTS of sequins on up to him.
"Yero, don't encourage her!" Elphaba laughed "Galinda, we have to find something that everyone wants to do!"
"Hmmmmmm..." Galinda thought out loud "Why don't we have a pillow fight!"
Galinda ran over to her bed and fetched a huge fluffy pillow and began whacking Fiyero and Elphaba as hard as she could through her giggles.
"Take that!" Galinda shouted as both Elphaba went to grab the nearest pillow she could find.
Elphaba sneaked up on Galinda from the behind hitting her twice as hard as she had them.
"HA!" Elphaba said as Galinda collapsed onto her bed. Elphaba turned around as Fiyero tapped her on her shoulder not realising that Fiyero too had grabbed a pillow. He blocked her attempts to hit him and grabbed her by the waist pulling her into him playfully.
"Thought you were winning did you!" Fiyero asked as she tried to pull away to attack him with the pillow she still had in her hand.
Galinda lunged at them across the room causing all the friends to collapse to the floor with Galinda on top then Elphaba and then Fiyero at the bottom being crushed by the two girls.
"Um, Galinda... Fae? As much as I love this carpet I wouldn't mind getting up off it sometime soon" Fiyero Said through Laughter.
"I can't get up with Galinda Sitting on me!" Cried Elphaba with a stifled laugh as she was being squished into Fiyero.
"Oh... Sorry guys!" Galinda said as she pulled herself off Elphaba and Fiyero who in turn both got up off the floor.
After another two hours of sleepover antics, Galinda fell asleep on her fuchsia coloured bed in mass of pillows and clothes. Elphaba and Fiyero Settled on Elphaba's bed and they too soon fell asleep.
