The arrival

A/N: Hey can anyone please tell me where Galinda actually lives. I don't want to keep saying 'to Galinda's house' or whatever. It would be much appreciated. Commence reading and meet the infamous Mr Damon Gondale. Enjoy :D Thanks to everyone who reviewed. I laughed when I read them.

So Fiyero, Boq and Elphaba were on their way to Galinda's house and to disperse of this wedding and bring her back. They had been on the train for almost two hours now. Elphaba told Boq that he would have to behave like he was from…there (I'm so stuck. Where is she from!) so he could tell Galinda's parents about their relationship and hopefully break off the marriage. Unfortunately Boq was very small and he was having trouble trying to behave like Elphaba instructed him. Before they left Elphaba borrowed out a bunch of books for Boq about…that country. He was trying he best but he couldn't exactly pull it off yet. He was good enough but would it be enough. Finally they arrived at the train station and hauled a carriage to take them to the Upper Uplands (Luckily I know that). When they arrived Elphaba knocked on the door. She really hoped that Galinda would answer it but it was most likely that a servant or someone of low level status would open it. Finally the door was opened. Elphaba grinned when she saw that Galinda had opened it herself. As soon as Galinda saw her she squealed in delight.

'Elphie what are you doing here?' Galinda asked beaming

'I came to stay with you in your time or need. And it's been really lonely living without you. The whole school has changed since you left.'

Galinda pulled her into a tight hug. Behind Elphaba she saw Fiyero. She shriekedeven more making Elphaba cringe from the loud noise in her ear. She let go of her

'Fiyero you're here as well.' She asked

'I'm not the only one here besides Fae.'

'Who's Fae. Wait are you talking about Elphaba. Aw I love it. When did you start calling her that?' Galinda asked

'It was after you left. Elphaba once called me Yero and it stuck and so I thought up a nickname for her. Fae' Fiyero answered

'It's also an acronym of our names; Fiyero And Elphaba, but enough about that. Don't you want to know who else is here.'

'Yes who else is here?'

'Hi Galinda' Boq said out from behind Fiyero. Galinda just stood there in shock. He was here standing here in front of her.

'Boq?' Galinda asked

'Hey Glinny' Boq replied

Galinda wanted to run out and kiss him right there but two things stopped her. One If she was caught then there would be trouble and the second was Damon.

'Galinda darling, who's at the door?' Damon asked

'Oh just my friends from Shiz. I invited them for my…I mean our wedding' Galinda said. Her smile had vanished. Galinda hated Damon and tried to avoid him as much as she could but that was proving rather difficult. Everyday her parents or Damon had arranged an activity for them to do as a couple like horseback riding or as a family like whale watching oh the ocean.

'But the wedding isn't for another month' Damon questioned

'Yes but I wanted them here with me to celebrate. And besides better early than late. Elphaba and I have a lot of talking to do. We'll get settled in our rooms and then we can talk.' Galinda knew that her lies were killing Boq inside but what happened next…well words can't describe.

'Ok well I'll see you at dinner then' Damon said and then he kissed her. In front of Boq.

Damon left and headed over to wherever. Galinda didn't care.

'Boq…I–' Galinda stuttered

'Galinda maybe it'll be best if you showed us to our rooms. After you do need a catch up of what has happened at Shiz' Elphaba said. This wasn't the best place for the Galinda/Boq reunion.

'Ok. Elphaba you're with me. Fiyero you're with Boq.' Galinda said. She called over a servant who was walking past.

'Please show Fiyero and Boq to the guest rooms. They will be staying here for the…wedding.'

'What about the young lady?' the maid asked

'Elphaba will be staying with me. Now go' Even though she was sad Galinda sounded rather bossy. She felt like she'd become that way ever since she had come home. Yesterday she yelled at another servant who ran into her dashing to her next job.

'Yes Miss. Please follow me gentlemen' Fiyero and Boq walked after her and Galinda led Elphaba to her room.

Once Galinda and Elphaba were in the comfort of her bedroom Galinda shattered.

'Oh Elphie everything horrible here. I hate it. Damon keeps trying to connect with me only during the events that are organised by my parents. And my parents just love him apparently. Saying how perfect he is for me. I barley talk to them anymore. They think I'm happy but I'm not. Everything is ruined. All I think about is Boq. Did you see his face after Damon kissed? He wasn't even looking at me. Elphie I know that you came to see me but why did you bring him? Now he has to live with me and everyday watch go around with Damon kissing him, pretending I love him. It'll kill him.'

'Galinda. Fiyero and I didn't come for your wedding. We came to bring you back to Shiz…with Boq. We already have a plan to get you back together with Boq and it involves telling your parents about your relationship with him' Elphaba saw Galinda's smile disappear

'Elphaba are you insane? That would be suicide–' Galinda said

'Galinda, I'm not stupid. I've already thought of that. Boq is going to pretend he is…from here. Don't interrupt. Just let me finish and then I'll answer your questions.' Galinda closed her mouth. 'When we're alone with your parents then you and Boq will tell them about your being together. We need Boq to impress your father so that he thinks that he is worthy of you and that you can continue to date him and that you don't have to marry Damon. That one day hopefully if Boq has the courage to ask you to marry him, that your father will give his permission.'

'Oh Elphie can't you just imagine that. I wish I was marrying Boq instead of Damon.'

'Wishful thinking never helps Galinda. Now that I'm done, what are your objections to this plan' Elphaba said smiling a little

'Objections! Elphie how can you say I have objections. I have questions but definitely no objections.' Galinda said smiling as well.

'OK then. What are you questions?'

'Well Boq's kind of small so how will he pass as a…citizen of this country?'

'Remember how to do that Length spell we learnt in Sorcery class. We'll just make Boq a little taller. He won't mind being taller anyway.'

'Ok how are we going to get my parents alone. They are always organising an activity for me and Damon to do?'

'I go on the event with Damon so you and Boq can talk with your parents. Besides I'll get to make my opinion on the guy and I'll get to tour around this place. Besides going to You Know Where and Shiz I've never travelled to another town in Oz. Frex would never allow it. You know the only for why I'm at Shiz in the first place.'

'Ok, how exactly is Boq going to impress my parents and particularly my father that he is good enough for me?'

'He'll have to act like a gentleman worthy of you and we'll have to hope for a miracle that your father thinks he is worthy of you. Look just worry about talking to your parents and trying to convince them how happy you are with Boq.'

'What are you going to do?'

'I'm staying here with you aren't I. I'm bound to have a ton of things to do aren't I? Parties to go to. Socialising with everyone. Hopefully I'll have time to read books from the library in my free time. Please tell me you have one Galinda'

'Of course but no goes in there except Damon occasionally.'

'Good then. If you need me you'll know where to find me.'

The both of them sat on Galinda's master bed until a maid entered with Galinda's permission telling them that dinner was ready.
