It had been two weeks since the Boq Project. Boq was convinced that Galinda was still her girlfriend but everyone else said otherwise. When Boq tried to talk to Galinda, she would walk away. She told herself that she was happier without him. Connor had asked her out on two more dates and they had grown closer with each one; Galinda felt herself falling in love with him liked she hoped so. She sent letters to her parents telling them about her dates with Connor to which her father replied saying he was very happy for her and wished her a wonderful life with Connor. Galinda was glad to have rekindled her relationship with her father. He approved of Connor very much and was happy to see Galinda over the Munchkin. Connor had actually asked her out on another date tonight, he said he had something special planned for the both of them. As always Galinda would ask Elphaba to help her get ready for her date but she was visiting Nessa in the hospital. From what Elphaba said, Nessa couldn't wait to get out tomorrow. She seemed really anxious but Elphaba felt it was for a different reason. Right now, she had Fiyero helping her. Who else besides Elphaba was fit to help her dress for Vinkus than the Vinkus Prince?

"So what about this one?" I held a navy blue dress with white poker dots. Fiyero sighed and gave me the same answer as the past ten other dresses.

"It looks great Glin"

"Fiyero, you said that about the other dresses. I need to know who to dress properly for Vinkus and Elphaba isn't here. Why are you so down anyway?"

"I'm not down, just worried. Elphaba has been gone all afternoon. Surely visiting hours would be over now wouldn't they?" Fiyero seemed really anxious

"She'll be home soon. Ohh what about this one." I held up a nice yellow strapless dress. It seemed perfect. I had already decided to wear it but I still wanted to know what Fiyero thought.

"I…I thinks that the one you should wear. Now if you'll excuse me Glin, I have to make a call." Fiyero stepped out of the room. I proceeded to get ready; an hour later closer to six thirty, when he would be picking me up, I grabbed my clutch and headed out.

I was on my way back to Shiz. It all fitted together now. Why Boq wasn't in love with Galinda, why Nessa was visiting him, why he thought that he and Galinda were still a couple. Nessa had put him under a spell. I knew Nessa was acting up so I decided to give her a truth serum in her tea that she had daily as part of her lunch meal. She soon revealed everything. Nessa had placed a spell on Boq to erase his love for Galinda. The spell didn't last forever so she redid it every time she went to visit him. When she sprained her ankle and had to stay in hospital she became very worried because she wouldn't be able to place the spell on him. It was all part of her plan to have Boq for herself. She hated Galinda. Galinda Upland who got everything. Even Boq who Nessa thought she didn't deserve to have as her boyfriend so she made the plan to break them up.

Galinda being married off was her lucky break, it meaning that she could move in on Boq, but Boq was too depressed; not talking to anyone and then by that time, Fiyero and I brought him to Gilikin to get him and Galinda together again. When she heard about Boq being in a coma she used that as her Golden Gate of opportunity and placed a spell on him while he slept. It explained why Boq woke up a different man. He had no recollection of his and Galinda's love.

I wanted to tell Galinda all this and that Boq did still love her but she was so happy with Connor. Speaking of whom; she was on a date with right now. I decided to tell Fiyero. He may not be the brightest at school as Galinda once put it but he gave great advice. Finally I arrived back at Shiz and raced to Fiyero's dorm room. Two weeks ago he gave a second key to his room so that I wouldn't ever have to wait for him to open up. Fiyero like to think of it as 'Moving In'. Fiyero was at his desk writing what I guessed to be a letter to someone. He turned around at the door opening and saw me.

"Elphaba, what's wrong?" My facial expression must evoked his question.

"It's about Galinda and Boq." I told him everything Nessa told me under influence of what I asked her. He grew as shocked as I was.

"So Nessa did all that just so that she could be with Boq?"

'Yeah but the real question is; what do we do now about it? I' want to tell Galinda about it but she's happy with Connor and I don't won't to ruin that."

"What about if we told Boq? Then he could try and win Galinda back"

"That's the point. Galinda is so happy with Connor she might not want Boq back but he tells her everything we told him, she'll feel guilty about who to be with again. And Galinda hates choices. I remember how she had to choose between two really cute dresses that she liked from her wedding. She wanted both but had to choose one. She nearly went mental. She eventually closed her eyes and pointed at one and then went on as if nothing had happened and she chose it in the first place. Galinda hates choices. So what do we do?"

"I don't know Elphaba, I don't know"

"Why do our lives have to be so full of drama? My life was never this crazy back at Munchkinland High School."

It turns out that Connor had set up a lake side picnic at the park just a few kilometres away from Shiz.

"When you said it was a surprise, I kept trying to guess what you had in stall. I went on from what we had done from our past dates. I was definitely not expecting this."

"I'm full of surprises. I realised that on our other dates I was trying to impress you but I wasn't showing you the real me so I wanted to do this the right way. I want you to meet the real me. Hello, my name is Connor Oxley and I come from Vinkus." He took of his hat and bowed.

"Well hello Connor Oxley, I am Galinda Upland, from the Upper Uplands of Gilikin." I did a small curtsy. We looked at each other and erupted into a laugh. We sat down and began to eat.

"I have an idea. To get to know each other better, Miss Upland, why don't we play a game of Twenty Questions? I ask a question which we both answer and then you'll ask a question." I giggled at the formality in his voice.

"Alright, what is your question Mr Oxley?"

"What do you like to do for fun?"

"I like to make people my projects. Turn the nerds into popular. I have only failed one project but only because I was never really into it as much as the others. You remember Elphaba?" He nodded "She was the project. We became friends after we stopped hating each other and I wanted to help her but I never got around to making her popular like the others. So there's my answer. What's yours?"

"My answer as you may or may not have guessed from your previous trips to Bridal Fairytale is that I like to paint. I actually want to be an artist. That's why I'm good with mixing colours. I've made a few paintings but I haven't sold any. Your question?"

"What's your favourite colour?"

"Orange, like the sunset. What's yours?"

"Pink. I love all shades of pink except hot pink. Hot pink is horrible. Next" We continued until it all the food was gone and it was late. I had learnt many new things about him. He had a pet bunny at Home called Victor. He hated bananas. Lost both his parents at the age of twelve, lived with his Aunt who had two children until he was nineteen. He loved classical ballet music etc. I felt closer to him and I was in love with him. Since Shiz was so close we had walked to the park and were now walking back.

"Galinda" Connor asked

"Yes?"

"I have to tell you something. I…I…" He stopped stuttering and fell silent. I looked at his eyes and soon I felt his lips on mine.

"Galinda, I really like you… a lot. Every date that we've gone on, I've fallen more in love with you. I just want to know if you like me back." He liked me even loved. I hesitated but then I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I do. I've fallen in love with you" I looked into his green eyes as I said this. They glistened brightly. I was in love with him. I plucked up my courage and kissed him. After a second he kissed me back. We stayed like this until he broke away.

"Galinda, will you be my girlfriend?"

"As long as you'll be boyfriend" He let out a laugh and pulled me in tighter. We were at the gates so he gave me a goodnight kiss and I headed to my room. Elphaba wasn't there but I continued to get ready for bed. About ten minutes later she came into the room. I couldn't wait to tell her the news.

"Elphaba" "Galinda" We both began to speak.

"Glin you go first." She said

"Elphaba, Connor and I are dating." I couldn't help but smile. However she had a mixed looked of horror and shock on her face. Wasn't she happy for me?

"Elphaba what's wrong? She seemed to be muttering to herself

"no…no…I knew this bad idea…I can't tell her now" Tell me what?

"Elphaba. What's the problem? I thought you would be happy for me and Connor."

"I am. It's just that…well we found out why you thought Boq didn't love you…Galinda he lost his memory of his love for you. He was spelled. He didn't remember a single thing about your relationship when he came out of the coma now he does and he's been really upset and you going on dates with Connor because he still loves you." I don't really remember what happened after she told me but at the moment Elphaba was shaking me. I opened my eyes and realised on my on my bed.

"Elphaba what happened?"

"You fainted after I told you about the horrendous trouble we now have to deal with. You have to choose between two loves. Next time I woke up it was morning…I think. On my bedside table, there was a note.

Glin,

Gone to get us lunch. Please don't leave the room.

Elphaba

Great, I was bounded to the room only. As soon as I said that Elphaba walked through the door.

"Oh good your awake. Here I bought you a chocolate muffin." She handed me the muffin which I immediately started eating. How long had I been out?

'Oh by the way. These came for you" She handed me a small bouquet of bluebells. My favourite flower. I knew it was from Connor. There was a card attached with my name of the front. I opened the card and read it.

Galinda

Roses are red, Bluebells are….blue.

And I love you.

Connor.

P.S. Please meet me at the Rose Café for lunch.

I sighed and smelt the flowers. I reread the note. My head snapped towards the clock. It read 12:10. I screamed and jumped off the bed. I put the flowers down and dashed out of the room but then ran back inside because I realised I was still wearing last night's outfit. I quickly changed and stuck my tongue out at Elphaba. She had been laughing at me. I walked into the Rose Café and found Connor.

"Sorry I'm late. I only just woke up." He chuckled

"At midday. How late did you stay up gossiping with Elphaba about me?" I couldn't tell him about Boq. So I lied but I hated it.

"Not that late. Just until 11:00pm. Which by the way thank you for the bluebells. I love them." I cuddled into his chest.

"You're welcome." He leant down and kissed me which I fully reciprocated. I pulled back and cuddled back into his chest.

"I love you" He said

"I love you too."

"Galinda?" I turned to see Boq standing nearby. Close enough to hear what I had just said and to see the kiss. I remembered what Elphaba had said to me the night before. Boq still loved me. It hurt him to see me with Connor when in his mind; he had done nothing to drive me away. I couldn't face both of them so I did what I always did when something went wrong. I ran.

"Galinda!" Connor called after me

Boq's POV

She was kissing him now. Were they together? From where I was I could hear what they were saying.

"I love you" He said. What hurt me is that she said it back. She loved him, not me and I don't know why. I couldn't take it

"Galinda?" she from Connor to me a few times and then ran. Connor called after her and then turned to me. He looked angry.

"Look Boq, I know exactly what you've done to her. She's told me everything. How you deserted her when she loved you. You stay the hell away from her or you'll be hearing from me." He put a ten dollar note on the table and ran out of the café after me. What did he mean that I deserted her? I would never leave her. I love her. And now I've lost her.

I am making this sequal for this story. So there is a few more chapters for this one and then if you want to continue with the story read on in Whom Do I Love. Thanks for going on this journey with me. I love you all.
