Prewarning: I got teary eyed writing the first bit of this chapter. So either it's real sad or I'm more tired than I think :o

I spent a lot of tonight writing out survey's for 'Journalism and Media Studies' so to say I was relieved I only had to write one fan fiction is an understatement :P

Broadwaygirl21: Aw, thank you! :) I'm glad you like the story :D

The Wizard Of Wicked: Psssh, have I seen fifty first dates :P only about a hundred times lol I used to love it when I was little. It is kind of similar :P I think it would only effect Dorothy and Liir because Rikla has grown up with Brr too, he probably gets called a tiny human himself :P

Elphaba'sGirl: Yeah, I don't give my characters very easy lives in my stories do I? Hm...

Brr heard three knocks on his door "May I come in?" he heard Glinda asked through the semi opened door

"Of course" Brr smiled at the blonde

"You feeling better?" she asked, sympathy etching her voice

Brr looked up at her sadly "Should I be honest?"

Glinda sighed sadly and sat down on the bed beside Brr "I think you should tell Elphie" she began "maybe there's a spe-"

"I don't want a spell, Glinda" Brr replied, cutting the blonde off "death is inevitable, what's the point in delaying it?"

Glinda looked genuinely hurt by Brr's comment "To stay with your family? to see the kids grow up?!" a tear rolled down her cheek

"That's the thing" Brr began, looking up into Glinda's eyes "the kids have grown up; the triplets are in University and Rikla's in his third year of high school" he took a deep breath "I've already lived a long time past my expiry date" he reminded her "lions are only supposed to live for fourteen years"

Glinda sniffed "I- I suppose"

Brr looked up at Glinda pleadingly "Please don't, you'll make me cry. I'm trying to stay strong."

Glinda burst into tears "I'm sorry" she wept "I just don't know what I'll do without you!"

Brr leaned forward and wrapped his arms around Glinda. They stayed like that for what seemed like forever. Neither wanting to let go, both in a pit of tears.

Fiyero walked behind Elphaba and wrapped his arms around her waist "Hey gorgeous" he whispered, smiling widely

"Mm, what do you want?" Elphaba asked with a grin, turning her head so that she was looking him in the eyes

Fiyero grabbed Elphaba's hands and twirled her around "I would like to dance with my beautiful wife" he answered, pulling her close to him

Elphaba smiled up at him "But there's no music playing"

"Hasn't stopped you in the past" he replied, twirling her

Elphaba gave a soft giggle "Yero, you know I can't dance!"

Fiyero spun her back towards him and dipped her "You and I both know that's a lie"

...

Dorothy eyes snapped open, she had been awakened by sobs "Elvira! hey, Elvira what's wrong?" she asked, scooping her up in her arms

"I had a nightmare" Elvira sniffed "I- I dreamed you were at my house and my dad came home drunk" she paused in an attempt to mask her sobs "Y- you were trying to save me, and he hit you. I ran over to you but I was too late... It felt so real, Do!"

Dorothy pulled Elvira in closer "Shhh, it wasn't real. I'm right here" she said stroking her hair

"I wouldn't be able to handle loosing you" Elvira began a little more calmly "I- I think I've fallen in love with you Dorothy"
