Sorry for the lack of updates. Went to my grandmothers funeral yesterday and had a huge family reunion at the wake (I've only met my fathers family once before, about 12 years ago. It was a giant game of guess who.) I should be updating more often soon :)

The Wizard Of Wicked: Thank you, that means a lot :* Writing is my escape, so it'll help :) I can almost predict your reaction to this chapter ^.^

Broadwaygirl21: Haha, why are people so good at guessing my storylines? :o and thank you, it means a lot

It was the night before university started back up and Elphaba had her head in the last spell book in the house... literally. She hated how upset Tandy and Liir had become and she felt completely useless, not being able to come up with an explanation for any of it.

"Fae, it's 1 am. You're going to be shattered tomorrow." Fiyero began, walking drowsily into the library.

Elphaba looked up at him, tears in her eyes. "I couldn't do it, Yero." she sobbed. "I was supposed to figure it out and I couldn't."

Fiyero looked at his wife with sympathy. Walking over to her and wrapping his arms around her. "You have done so much." he whispered, "I'm sure Tandy is very grateful."

"But, I- I didn't do enough." she replied, snivelling.

Fiyero held her head in her hands, looking her in the eyes "You did more than enough." he began. "Now, you need your sleep. Come on." he lead her to their room, kissing her good night.

...

Liir had woken late and was late to Sorcery class. He rushed in, the lecture hall almost full. He spotted a seat near Dorothy, Elvira, Melena and Tandy and began to head over.

"Pssst!" he heard over his mothers voice "Pssst, Liir, over here!" he saw Jellia waving him over.

Liir looked back at the seat he had been heading to, locking eyes with Tandy momentarily. A hopeful gaze washed over her, a small smile on her lips. Liir looked back at Jellia, a flirty smile on her red painted lips. His eyes darted to and from the two, eventually turning and walking towards Jellia.

"Hey nerd!" Jellia giggled

Liir sat down, giving her a small hug hello. He chuckled slightly awkwardly, "You're one to talk" he replied, "who was the one that referred to themselves as the biggest nerd in the school?"

"I was the biggest nerd at that school." she joked. "People change."

Liir stole a glance at Tandy. "I guess they do."

...

Elphaba told the class to read through a spell. She looked up at where she had seen Liir walk to earlier, seeing he was sitting with Jellia. Her gaze turned to more of a confused nature as she watched the pair. The bell rang and Elphaba called Jellia to the front.

"Hey!" Jellia chuckled awkwardly "I bet you never thought you'd be seeing me again."

Elphaba's face kept it's dead expression. "I wasn't exactly upset about the fact either."

Jellia was taken aback. "Well, that's the nicest welcome back I've gotten so far." she replied sarcastically, placing her spell book on to Elphaba's desk to clear her hands. "Look, I'm sorry I hurt Liir. But I've changed, I really care for him."

"I saw that." Elphaba replied, referring to how she had seen the pair act around each other earlier. "You know who else really cares for him? His girlfriend." She began to advance towards the girl. "I'm sorry if this breaks your little heart, but Tandy and Liir will work through their problems. He's not going to go running back to you. You had your chance and you blew it, along with probably every boy at Ozford."

Jellia's eyes widened with shock, "I don't have to take this!" she said, hurt. She swung her bag in her back and stormed out.

Elphaba noticed a bright blue book laying on her desk "Jellia, you forgot your-"

Slam!

Elphaba picked the book up and examined the cover, stuffing it into her side-bag. She'd give it back to her, next lecture.

Don't forget to review xo
