Hellooooo! Yes I know, I didn't update yesterday, so I broke my promise. (Wait did I promise that? Ehh, too lazy to check.)

Wickedly Hope Pancake: (can I just call you hope? It's waaaay easier.) funny how your review lead to a really long conversation. (It was also really fun!)

Little heads up, you guys are probably gonna hate me after this, so yeah..

Disclaimer: how many times do I have to say NOT MINE! For it to sink in?!

"A tutor?" Asked Fiyero. How could he get a tutor? Well, that part was simple enough.

"I'm sorry, Yero." Lori said. Yeah, so am I. "Master Tiggular, unless you would like to be kicked out of Shiz." Morrible began. Lori shot her son a look. "I suggest you get Ms. Thropp to tutor you." She finished. Elphaba? No, no, no! He thought. "Fine." He said. What? No! Why did I say that?!

"Great! Your first session behind tomorrow after classes." Morrible said. Fiyero sighed. Hey, it's not like it can get any worse. Right?

Boy, was he wrong.

"Just answer the question, Fiyero." Elphaba said exasperadetly.

"It's too hard!" He argued half-heartedly.

"No, it's not!"

"Yes, it is!"

"Tiggular!"

"I'm tiiiiiired!" He whined.

"We've been studying for 15 minutes!" Elphaba shrieked.

"That's waaaay toooo looooong." He said stretching out the words.

"That's it!" Elphaba yelled. "You are a Brainless Playboy party prince who cares about nobody else's feelings but you're own! You've never had to work a day in your life, but some of us have! Your life has always been perfect! Nothing bad has or probably ever will happen to you. And you need to acknowledge that you are not the only person in all of Oz!"

Fiyero was taken aback for a second, before he regained his composure. "Oh yeah," he shot back. "Well, you are the Queen Of Snap Judgements! You say I'm an Brainless dancing-through-life idiot, when the truth is, you don't know the first thing about me. You think you're the only one with sorrow in their lives? Well I beg to differ!" He shouted, angry tears streaming down his face.

Elphaba looked at him. Maybe she was wrong. She had gotten so used to people labeling her, that she had begun to label people. "What happened?" She asked softly.

"N-nothing" he said shakily. Elphaba moved closer.

"you can trust me, Yero." She said. He looked into her eyes, (Her really pretty eyes) trying to decide wether or not he could. "You can trust me." She assured him.

"It's, it's obviously not as b-bad as what you went through. Especially with that monster for a father, but I've had my share of sadness too." He stopped there, Pondering wether he should go on or not.

"It's ok, Yero." She said.

"Well, my mom was going to have a baby. And I was soooo happy. And the um, he was born prematurely and they had to put him in the incubator. That night there was a break-in at the hospital, and they-they took him. They took him, Fae!" He was sobbing uncontrollably.

"Why would someone kidnap a newborn baby?" Elphaba asked.

"I don't know." He said.

"Well, did they ever find him?"

"Yeah, 3 years later." He said.

"So that's good, right. It's over now."

"It would've been. If he had been alive." (A/N: I bet I just ruined whatever connections you guys were making, right?)

"Oh, Yero, I'm so sorry. For, for everything! I'm sorry for labeling you. I'm sorry I called you Brainless. I'm just really sorry.

Morrible walked next to a tall girl with beautiful blond locks. The girl was holding a camera and was taking pictures of everything. Excitement was visible In her green eyes.

"And this is our History class, with our only Animal teacher, Doctor. Dillamond!" Morrible said. The girl took a picture of him and squealed. She turned to the students and caught sight of a very familiar head of brown curls. She did a double-take, gawking at the small blue-eyed girl with her nose in a book.

"NO WAAAAY!. She screeched happily. Arietta looked up and saw the blonde girl with green eyes, who looked an awful lot like someone she knew. "Cierrah?" She asked cautiously.

"Yuppies!" Cierrah answered. Then she ran to the desk and the two girls hugged. (Awkwardly, seeing as how Arietta was still sitting down.)

"who's this?" A deep voice rang out. Both girls turned around. "Fiyero, this is Cierrah. Cierr, this is Fiyero. Fiyero Tiggular." Cierrahs eyes widened, looking between the two. "Tiggular?" She asked.

"Yes, Fiyero Tiggular. Or as Arietta Renaldi, might've put it: The jerk face, brainless, Vinkun prince." He said jokingly. But Cierrah instead of giggling like Fiyero expected, turned to Arietta. "Renaldi?" She asked giving the brunette a questioning look. Arietta shook her head slightly and the blonde caught on. "Oh, right. Haha, uh, I uh gotta go. Bye Fiyero! Bye Ria!" She said and ran out.

"she's um, nice." Fiyero said.

"She just gets nervous sometimes." Arietta clarified.

"So how do you know her anyways." He asked. Arietta stiffened before running out herself.

Elphaba, Fiyero, Arietta, Galinda, Cierrah, Boq, and Nessa were all outside in the beautiful spring day.

"Let's play Hide N' Seek." Galinda squealed. Elphaba and Fiyero rolled their eyes. "Ok." Arietta said and tagged Fiyero. "You're it!"

"That's not how the game works!" He said. Arietta put her hands on her hips defiantly.

"Is too." She said

"is not"

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

"Is TOO!" She yelled and a gust of wind hit Fiyero. He glared at her and she giggled. "Whoops!" She said and ran off to hide.

Fiyero found Galinda, (behind a tree.) Cierrah, (with Galinda.) Boq, (under a tarp.) Nessa, (with Boq.) and Elphaba (up the tree that Cierrah and Galinda were behind.) with ease. But where was Arietta?

Arietta, in fact, was still hiding. In a dark alley. "Well, well. If it isn't Little Orphan Annie." A voice said.

Arietta felt her heart catch in her chest. "Who- who are you?" She asked. All she could see in the dim light, was a hooded figure pulling out a.. What was that. A flash of light hit it and she could see what it was. A gun. She gulped.

"You cause too many problems. No one loves you. Not even your parents loved you. So,I'd be doing the world a favor by getting rid of you, right? I don't need you anymore. I found someone else. Goodbye, Arietta."

Arietta let out a whimper. No! Don't show fear! Don't give them What they want! She thought. And she tried, she really did. But the tears came down quickly. Everything happened so fast. First, she heard the gunshot. Then she felt a sharp pain in her side as sticky liquid came out from where the bullet hit her. Then, everything went black.

*Hides behind a corner* so. Um, yeah. Review? Heh, heh.

No but seriously, review. Even if they're murderous. I love reading them.

until next time, my pretties.
