A/N: See? I promised I'd update soon! :)

6 months later

Elphaba had grown accustomed to life as a slave. Her life really wasn't that bad, she only had to clean up Master Fiyero's bedroom and give him his food at meal times. Two tasks a day, all the rest of the time she could daydream. She could dream about how her life used to be, with her mom, dad, brother and herself all in one house, a loving family.

In the middle of her daydream, the bell sounded in the slaves' quarters. That meant it was time for the Royal family to eat their supper. Elphaba walked to the kitchen, and picked up the plate with blue flowers around the edge, Price Fiyero's plate. She opened the doors, handed Fiyero the plate, and almost ran back to the kitchen, ready to start daydreaming again. But just as Elphaba put her hand on the door to the kitchen, another lady ran straight into her, dropping the plate. Elphaba looked at the plate. It had purple diamonds painted on it. Oh No! That was the King's!!!

Everything seemed to go so slowly. Both Elphaba and the other slave lunged for the plate, but it was too late. The King's meal soon was on the floor.

That's going to get me in trouble….

The King turned his head abruptly when he heard the crash. He gave Elphaba an evil glare. If looks could kill…

As Elphaba was sitting on the floor, a soldier suddenly burst through the door to the Dining Hall. He looked at Elphaba for a few seconds, then marched over to the young girl, and grabbed her arm. Elphaba was in a daze, but was aware of being dragged out of the Hall, back to the slave quarters.

The soldier threw Elphaba on to the floor, and said "I don't know what he's gonna do to you, but if I were you I would be careful"

And Elphaba did just that. Whatever she was told to do, she did, without hesitation. She seemed to be slowly gaining back her reputation of being a "good slave". Every day, after delivering Prince Fiyero's food, she would slowly walk back to the kitchen, and open the door very slowly.

Also, she was careful while doing her other task, cleaning, She would make sure everything was in its proper place before leaving. Mostly, it was an easy thing to do. His toys went in the toy bin, his clothes went in his dresser.

One day, however, while Elphaba was cleaning Fiyero's room, a strange piece of paper was sitting on his bed. Where does this go??? Unable to find a place for this in his room, Elphaba did the only thing she could think of: read it.

Prince Fiyero,

We recently received word from your fiancée's father. She has fallen ill.

Elphaba was confused, Fihyero was her age! He shouldn't have a fiancée!! She tried reading the letter again, hoping that, somehow, it would make more sense this time.

Still greatly confused, Elphaba began to fold the letter again, but just then….
