Hello people of ! Here's the next update.

Wickedly Hope Pancake: You. Are. Awesome! You always review! And no, she's not related to Morrible, I like her too much for that. But you weren't too far off on the other thing...

Disclaimer: nope.

It was parents day. The day parents come to speak with teachers and visit their kids classes. It was a day hated by everyone (except for Galinda, of course.) but none hated it more than Elphaba Thropp. Frex was definitely coming to visit Nessa, and she was anxious to know how he would treat her. Fiyero was pretty proud of himself (Though he would never admit it.). He was usually kicked out of a school way before parents day. Galinda was her usual bright and bubbly self, Elphaba was dreading it, and Arietta was on edge, flinching every where she looked as if something scary had happened. She knew her foster "parents" weren't coming. They didn't know she was here, and that was all for the better.

"And Popsicle, these are my bestest friends, Elphie and Ari!" Both girls rolled their eyes at the nicknames. "And this is my adoralicious boyfriend, Fiyero Tiggular!" She squealed.

Galindas family were everything that everyone expected. Her mother and 4-year-old sister both had luscious blond curls with cerulean blue eyes. Her father was a chubby man, with kind eyes and a hearty laugh. So basically, the perfect Ozian family that everyone strived to had.

"Momsie, look!" Galindas sister, Ahliyah, said pointing at Elphaba. "She's green!" She yelled. Galindas mother looked at her youngest daughter. "Ahliyah, it is not kind to point." She scolded. "Oh, no, no! It's alright. I'm quite used to it actually." She intervened.

"Oh Galinda." Her mother said smiling warmly at them. "What wonderful friends you have. But we better head over to the teachers conference, or we'll be late." She said and they all turned heading back to the buildings.

"I don't think they'll be very happy after the conference." Arietta joked. Galinda glared at her, but smiled nonetheless. As they turned around, they were met with the sight of A man with sandy blonde hair, and a woman with dark brunette hair. They had the same azure blue eyes.

"Yero, where have you been? We've be looking everywhere for you!"she said. Fiyero blushed.

"Mom, I'm not a little kid!" He objected. She sighed, "Oh, are these your friends?" She asked. "Yup." Fiyero began. "This is my girlfriend Galinda Upland-"

"of the Upper Uplands."

"Right, and this is Elphaba Thropp and Arietta Renaldi." He finished. "Hello ." Elphaba greeted. "Oh, please! It's Lori!" She said smiling. Then she turned to Arietta. "My, you must be a really smart girl, to be in a university already." She said kindly.

"T-thanks." Arietta responded timidly. Elphaba and Fiyero shared a look. If there was a list of things that Arietta wasnt, timid was at the top.

"Of course, compared to Yero, everyone's a genius." Lori joked. Arietta grinned and began to fiddlewith her locket. Lori noticed this and stared at the locket, eyes wide. "Where did you get that? It's a very beautiful locket." She said breathlessly. Arietta shoved it back into the neck of her dress frantically. "Uh, it was my mothers." She said, her blue eyes calmly looking back up at Lori.

Lori looked at her with a strange look in her eyes. "Have we met before?" She asked. Arietta began to silently panic, but she didn't show it. Heaven knows she's lied her way ouT of problems bigger than this. "No, I don't think so, I'm pretty sure i wouldn't have forgotten if we had." No, I didn't. But you did. And how is that any better? she thought bitterly, but she kept the sweet smile on her face. If she had to fake her way through Shiz, so be it.

All the parents were allowed to observe their child's classes. Galindas parents were angry, but their demeanor was overall cheerful. To lessen their anger, Galinda pretended to be studying while really painting her nails pink.

Fiyero had started to focus a bit more. After his little talk with Arietta, he realized he didn't have to dumb it down so much

Arietta was still herself. Answering every question right, and supplying an endless stream of sarcastic comments and witty remarks. But Elphaba was still surprised at how oddly she had conducted herself with Fiyero's parent. She acted like she was hiding something. Elphaba already knew that she was hiding something but, what in Oz did that have to do with Fiyero's parents? She intended to find out.

Little did she know that what she would find out, would affect them all

Soooooo. Yeah. Review. *puts puppy dog eyes.* pleeeease. And no one has guessed what Arietta is hiding so yeah, triple chocolate fudge cake, for whoever figures it out. Oh, I borrowed the name Lori from Ultimate Queen Of The Cliffies. She's awesome, go read her stories. Until next time, my pretties.
