Fiyero nervously walked up the steep hill to Kiamo Ko, his exhaustion half physical and half mental. After leaving Galinda reluctantly behind in the Emerald City with promises to meet up again. The usually short walk to his families castle took for what seemed like an hour. Finally reaching the large oaken door, he opened it with short breath.

"Fyiero!" An ecstatic voice called before tackling him in a giant bear hug.

"Erazi!" He cried hugging the woman back harder.

"How's my small baby brother doing?" She pulled apart, looking at how her small brother had aged for the past several months.

The black haired woman was slightly shorter than him. She was a stick thin, twenty one year old feisty older sister. He desperately missed her and was happy to see that she had returned for the long weekend from her university, Shiz.

"How has school been?" Fiyero asked as they began to through the large entrance hall in their castle.

"O, the usual. Horrible Morrible has given my friends and I detention till the end of term for the last Animals Rights march we had." She chuckled.

"I wouldn't expect anything less from you."

They continued to catch up until they reached the library, where they found Fiyero's younger siblings.

The preteens both threw down the books that they were readings and ran to cling onto their older brothers legs.

"Fifi!" They both shouted.

The twelve year old girl and boy were almost identical, fat faces and dark brown hair, their faces smooth with out a trace of acne, and they haven't gotten their tribal tattoos yet.

"Bitule and Btyle what trouble have you two marauders gotten into during art school?" He asked, partly laughing.

He loved talking with his siblings, but still, a thought haunted the back of his mind, where was Elphaba? Being so close to her made him miss his green, maybe girlfriend even more. Did she even want to see him? He knew that he made a pretty dickish move that afternoon about a month ago. All because he was touchy with the subject of his older sister, though even being with her now felt like pulling the scab off the wound. But he hoped that after all the time he had spent away from her, she had some kinda closer and forgiven him. Deep down though, Fiyero knew Elphaba, and forgiveness from her wouldn't be that easy. He pretended to laugh along with his siblings, hoping they wouldn't notice how distant he seemed.

Dinner was an awkward affair. His mother and father pretended to ignore the snarky comments their eldest daughter added in occasionally. When Erazi started to go on an Animal rights rant, her mother stepped in to stop her from getting too wound up.

Around midnight after presumably going to bed, he crept through the drafty castle towards the astronomy tower. The moist ceilings occasionally dripped a bit of water onto Fiyero's bed robes. Finally he reach the roof hatch and saw that it was already pushed aside. Smiling to himself, he hoisted his body up into the dark room with only a little bit of struggle.

The room was flooded with moonlight, the largest window being opened. He could see the silhouette of a certain girl he had been longing to see. Perched in the frame of the window, she hummed softly to herself as Fiyero crossed the room to finally rest on the desk. The green witch slowly lifted her wand up slightly and began to sing softly. As she sang, a violet

black curled from the wand, twisting it's way across the room.

"Oooo, I could, I could, I could,

Hey, okay!

O, I could, I could, I could," Elphaba visibly smiled.

"I think I'm helpless, now that I can fly the skies the limit,

I'm helpless, falling through the clouds,

and I'm lounging in 'em!" Her voice grew louder, still in it's sweet tone.

"I have never been the type to stand in the limelight-" Elphaba continued to sing sweetly about how she had become helpless like never before, the world had somehow changed.

Fiyero finally couldn't help himself, he stupidly stumbled into her song,

"Oh, oh, oh, Fae, I have a lot of dollars to my name, ten thousands acres a land, more than a troupe to command, a good bit of fame," She looked shocked, and a bit uncertain at his appearance.

"A lost my honor, my tolerance pain,

and I'm as helpless as you."

"God damn it Fyiero, you ruined the song," Elphaba finally cracked a smile, finally keeling over laughing.

They both laughed about it for a while, until Fiyero broke the soft tension by saying,

"Listen Fae, I'm terribly sorry how I acted-"

"-Fiyero"

"No let me say this, I haven't earned your forgiveness yet."

"Don't think that I won't hold you too that," The green girl smiled a pure, joyful smile unlike any that he had seen from her yet.

A/N: Okay, so I'm sorry that it has been so long! But I put in easter egg in this chapter that should be pretty obviously. The credit for the original song goes to the genius of a man who wrote it, Lin Manuel Miranda. Please review! I would so love to hear your feedback!
