Galinda's Letter

A/N: Hey people. Here's the next chapter up. Enjoy. Thanxs to Annabeth Granger and ChaoticSymphonyofDarkness for reviewing. Commence reading

Elphaba walked in to see Galinda crying but that wasn't usual. But then she noticed the letter in her hand.

'Galinda what's wrong?' Elphaba asked as she said beside her

'It's my dad…he's pulling me out of Shiz…' Galinda face was blotched and red.

'Why?'

She didn't answer. She gave Elphaba the letter to read. She couldn't explain what was happening.

Elphaba began to read the letter that Galinda gave to her. She was traumatized as to what was written on it.

Dear Galinda

We have exciting news for you,

Mr Damon Gondale has asked for your hand in marriage. We have sent a coach to collect you from Shiz to bring you back home. Please pack bags and be ready to leave tomorrow. Your mother and I are so proud.

All our love as always

Mum & Dad

Elphaba looked up at Galinda. She understood now. She was to be married and was leaving Shiz meaning that she would be leaving Boq.

'Oh Galinda…I'

'I know… I can't leave Boq.' Galinda was holding on to her.

'Galinda, I know you love your parents, but why don't you tell them that you like it here and that you're in a relationship already.'

'There's the problem Elphaba, if they knew I was dating Boq they would die of shame. They've always told me to never date someone who was lower class. But Boq isn't just low class. He's…'

'Galinda I know, but there isn't much you can do I'm afraid.'

'Yes there is, maybe I could run away. You did' Galinda said desperately

'Galinda, I know that I ran away but Galinda it is horrible. I only survived because of the crabby job that I was given. I hated every minute I was away. I was hit on, called many nasty things.' I had to live in the hotel I worked out which was a strip club practically. Galinda run away was the worst choice I made.'

'So you wish you didn't run away. Well then what would have become of you and Fiyero then?' Galinda asked confused

'Well yes I have thought about that before but the point is that running away isn't the answer. I'm sorry about you leaving. I'll miss you heaps, but you know you can't disobey your parents. I know that you're looking for sympathy but Galinda sometimes you have to be told the truth and I know it hurts.'

'I know, well I guess I have to say goodbye to all of you.'

'How are you going to tell Boq. Would you like me to do it for you?' Elphaba asked

'No I have to tell him myself. It would just be wrong for him to hear from someone else.'

'You've come a long way Galinda since we first met. I'm proud of you'

'Thanks. Remember what I was like back then?' Galinda asked

'How could I forget. "It's GA-LINDA with a GA"' Elphaba laughed

'Hey that's not funny, I don't know why he couldn't pronounce it right like every other teacher. What about when you came to Shiz. "Yes I'm Green, get over it"' Galinda produced a smile

Elphaba laughed harder and so was Galinda

'I'm definitely going to miss you, you and your blonde curls and your loud shrieks. Everything pretty much.' Elphaba said when she calmed down

'I'll miss you too Elphie' Galinda said

'Argh, I thought you stopped calling me that' Elphaba said event though she was smiling

'I'll never stop calling you that.' Galinda said

Galinda pulled Elphaba in for a hug and then let go. She was definitely going to miss Elphaba, she would miss everyone, but mostly she would miss Boq. They had only been together for almost two months and now they were being pulled apart.

'I should get ready, Boq will be coming to pick me up. I'll tell him when we get back to his dorm.'

'Ok then, do you want me to go or should I stay? I can go Fiyero's or do something' Elphaba asked. She already knew the answer but she asked anyway.

'You wouldn't mind if I did want you to leave would you? I just want to be alone for when Boq comes round.' Galinda asked

'Of course not' Elphaba looked up at the clock. It was 6:30. 'Hey Galinda didn't you say he was picking you up around quarter to seven?' Elphaba asked

'Yes, why?' Galinda answered confused

'It's six thirty'

Galinda went ballistic while Elphaba only laughed

'Oh Shiz, I still have find the perfect dress and put on my makeup' Galinda shrieked

'Ok, I'll let you get ready.' Elphaba opened the door and left heading towards Fiyero's dorm.

Line Break

'Elphaba what's wrong. You've been very quiet since you got here.' Fiyero asked. He hoped she wasn't still thinking about that horrible memory.

'Fiyero, It's Galinda.' Elphaba replied

'What has she done this time?' Fiyero asked

Elphaba grew angry at his comment. Everyone thought that Galinda was some blonde bimbo who was ignorant.

'This isn't a joke Fiyero. Galinda's getting married! She received a letter from her parents telling her that she is to be married to some Damon person and that she has to leave Shiz. Don't you get it? She's upset because she has to break up with Boq. She is being forced to marry some stranger and she can't do anything about!' Elphaba yelled

'Elphaba, I'm sorry… Wait Galinda's getting married. But why?' Fiyero asked shocked

'Fiyero didn't you hear what I just said, it's an arranged marriage–'

'Yeah I heard that Elphaba, but what about Boq, why would they marry her off if they knew Galinda already had a boyfriend.'

'Fiyero be realistic, Galinda would never tell her parents about Boq. He's lower class than her. Imagine what her parents would say.'

'Elphaba, I understand but why are you so upset by this? I know she's your best friend but why?' Fiyero asked

'I don't know why. I guess I just feel sorry for her.'

'Elphaba…' Fiyero didn't know what to say.

'What if something like that happened to us? I know my dad thinks I never be married, but what about you Fiyero?. You going to be king after your dad steps down. What if your parents decide to arrange a marriage for you. What then?'

'Elphaba is that what your worried about? If they told me that I wouldn't agree to it–'

'So you're just going to ignore them.?'

'Elphaba let me finish. Yes I would ignore them, maybe even decline the throne if they threatened me–'

'Fiyero! You can't do that. You can't just give up your throne just to refuse to be married to someone else.' Elphaba was shocked

'Elphaba will you stop interrupting me. I know how important the throne is but I not their only child–'

'You're not?...sorry'

'No I'm not, If I did decline the throne, then they would pass it on to Jane. But the point is that I wouldn't leave you for anything. I'm not going to marry a perfect stranger while I have you'

'But…' Elphaba started but she was cut off (Three guesses how?)

Fiyero pulled her in closer
