Chapter 3. The Wilted Rose
Rifiuto: Non Miniera
Thanks to populardarling, and Elphaba1Fan for reviewing 2.
The two days passed quickly, and Fae soon found herself getting ready to meet her parents for dinner.
She'd gotten the notice to come down to the Head's office after class that morning. Doing so, she found her parents waiting in the office, having a cheery conversation with the Head. Once Fae entered, however, the conversation ended, when her parent stood and wrapped her in their warm embrace.
"What are you doing here?"
"We're taking you to dinner tonight, before we head home tomorrow afternoon. Liir's bringing his girlfriend, Candle, and we're going to meet at the Wilted Rose and have dinner. You'll be ready by seven?" Elphaba asked, wrapping her daughter in a hug.
Fae had said yes, of course.
Now, she stood examining herself in the mirror.
She wore a long, deep emerald evening gown, with a pair of black heels. Her hair was pulled up in curls, and she wore a string of Gillikin pearls around her neck. She could only imagine what her mother would be wearing.
"You look great Fae. Where are you eating again?" Makinla asked.
Like their mothers years earlier, the two girls roomed together, with Anakinsa rooming a couple doors down with Milla Jodenson's daughter, Saylea. Saylea's mother, just happened to be the Meagravess of Tenmeadows. Her father, Avaric. Three doors down from Saylea and Anakinsa, were Ozma's daughter, Ozma Kenlane, and Nastoya, the Crown Princess of the Yunamata tribe.
Basically, the whole third floor, seemed to be host to the daughters of royalty. Most notably Ozma Kenlane, Nastoya, and Fae.
"The Wilted Rose." Fae said, grabbing her cape and purse.
"Mmmm....I love the Wilted Rose. They have the best chocolate pie." Kinla said.
"I wouldn't know. Never eaten there."
"What? You've never eaten at the Wilted Rose?" Fae shook her head.
"Nope. But, apparently, Mama and Daddy ate there the night Liir was concieved." Fae said, breaking into laughter.
"You're kidding." Kinla said, joining in. Fae shook her head.
"Not according to Grandmama." The green girl told her friend as she adjusted the cape on her shoulders. "According to her, Mama and Daddy had dinner there, came home, raced upstairs, had wild, insane sex, and then Mama missed her period five days later. And Liir was born nine months after that."
Kinla laughed.
"Seriously?"
"According to Grandmama. But, everytime I've asked Mama or Daddy about it, they either denied it or changed the subject. I personally think Grandmama's version of events are true. But, hey, I'll never know. I got to get going. See you later." Fae said, waving goodbye as she headed out the door.
"Have fun."
