Chapter 2: To remember or not to remember that is the question….

"Fiyero…" Elphaba paused
"What are you doing here Fifi?" Glinda pulled him next to her. Elphaba slowly moved a bit so Fiyero wasn't too close to her. She didn't want to show any signs of what passed by last night. "What's going on Elphaba, Fifi is not going to bite."

"I just…" Elphaba paused "I need to go…"

"What's going on with the steamed artichoke?" Shenshen spoke "Don't you like her, Fifi?"
"Well, she's a nice person." Fiyero turned to Elphaba. "I don't see how anyone wouldn't like her. Right, Glinda?"
"Yeah, it's Elphie after all…" Glinda smiled "She's a bit uptight, Fifi. There's nothing wrong with her."
"Uptight?" Pfannee spoke "She's a steamed artichoke, that is what she is."

Fiyero followed Elphaba with his eyes. What was going on with her? A soft touch of his hand has caused Elphaba to run away. Her eyes had shown a certain feeling inside. Almost like guilt. Guilt towards who? Fiyero had no idea. What was going on with the emerald girl that was beautiful in an unusual way. Fiyero didn't know in what way he liked her. They didn't really spent much time together. They shared a friend, and that was about it. At least that's what Fiyero wanted to think.
"She's been acting this way…" Glinda spoke "It's like she doesn't like you, you haven't been fighting right?"

"Not that I know off…" Fiyero smiled "I haven't talked to her."
"And that's what wrong, Yero." Glinda spoke "Can't you just make the effort for me?"
"Maybe…" Fiyero slowly turned to her. He hooked his arm around Glinda. In some ways his mind was consumed with guilt. Why was he even feeling guilty? Fiyero Tiggular never experienced guilt. Not in this way. Looking at Glinda could be too much. Elphaba leaving was something that pointed the guilt out. Like she was running from some kind of memories. Fiyero wasn't feeling guilty for something he'd done. He felt guilt for the tricks his mind played on him. The dream kept playing in his mind. How he and Elphaba had ended in bed together. And how they had cheated on Glinda. Were dreams cheating? If they were, he was guilty of adultery. With her best friend. What was the thing that enchanted him about Elphaba? The things he remembered from the dream were beyond magical. And he even told her he was madly in love with her. But was he Fiyero Tiggular really that in love with her? Did he love Elphaba Thropp?Or was it just a dream. And now he remembered how vivid the dream had been. Waking up, he believed he would find Elphaba next to him. Snoring. He thought of staring at her, listening to her breathing. But when he opened his eyes, she wasn't there. The bed was completely empty. Nothing that showed that Elphaba had ever been there. The smell on his pillow reminded him of her, but he was sure that his memory was playing tricks on him.

Fiyero slowly licked his lips. He turned his eyes to Glinda Upland. His girlfriend, his mind screamed to stop thinking about the exotic emerald girl. He couldn't get caught thinking about her. He was scared that his voice would betray the amazing dreams he'd been having. Why oh why did this bring his mind in ecstasy? He wanted to stand up, and replay the dream in real life. Real life. Right now. But Glinda was there right in front of him. Fiyero turned to her, he gave her a soft kiss on her cheek.
"Fiyero?" Her voice spoke "How did you think Elphaba looked?"
"Sexy…" His voice said. "Really beautiful."

"What are you on buddy?" Avaric sat down. "Are you talking about Greenie?"
"She's got a name.." Glinda spoke before Fiyero even could. "And it's Elphaba. Not steamed Broccoli, artichoke or any other green vegetable. Is that understood?"
"Glinda, do we really need to hang around her…" Shenshen rolled her eyes.

"I have to go…" Fiyero stood up.
Fiyero walked away from the table. He knew that Glinda wouldn't follow him. She was always following people around, but she knew when it was not needed. Fiyero was grateful with Glinda's sixth sense. If needed, she would leave him alone. But that was not something he could say about Avaric. He ran behind him with a fast footstep. Fiyero could hear his fast breathing, Avaric never had been a sporty guy. He liked to say he was, but never had been.

"Wait up!" Avaric stopped. Fiyero turned around so he was facing Avaric.
"What's going on Avaric?" Fiyero raised an eyebrow.
"I was just to ask you the same thing, Yerster." Avaric spoke "What's going on with you? You look guilty as hell. You're lucky that Glinda doesn't pick up on stuff like that. What have you been doing?"
"There's nothing wrong…" Fiyero turned away.
"Look, I've known you forever…" Avaric raised an eyebrow. "I know when you're lying."

"Look, is dreaming about someone else cheating?" Fiyero turned to Avaric. "You know…"
"You've had a sex dream about someone beside Glinda?" Avaric smiled "Who? Pfannee? Shenshen? I get it both girls are really hot."
"This is embarrassing." Fiyero turned to him. "It's not…"

"Not Pfannee? Or Shenshen?" Avaric turned to her. "Wheelchair girl? I get it, she is tragically beautiful after all."
"Close…" Fiyero stared to the floor. "I had a sex dream about Elphaba Thropp."
"What you had…" Avaric laughed "It's understandable. One might get curious after what's hidden under her clothes. So was she green everywhere?"
"Shut up, Avaric!" Fiyero gave him a playful push.

"It's not cheating…" Avaric spoke "Our mind is welcome to wonder anywhere, even if it's the green Artichoke. You are not going to tell Glinda after all, she's not going to find out. Just don't whisper her name in your dreams. How did Greenie appear in your dreams?"
"I don't know…" Fiyero spoke "I never thought about her in that way. After I got really drunk, I had the dream. It was really vivid. "

Fiyero turned away. He wanted to say that he liked it. He Fiyero Tiggular liked the dream he had about Elphaba Thropp. Did that mean that he loved her? Avaric was still staring at him, Fiyero didn't want to know what was going on in his mind. He didn't want to know it. Fiyero wanted to confront Elphaba, tell her about the dream. But he could hear her voice already. Explaining there was nothing between them. Walking away from him. He could hear her voice calling him a 'spoiled prince'. And he wouldn't blame her. He had never been nice to her before this. He had never said anything. He couldn't believe that Elphaba was the one he was dreaming about.
"Dreams mean nothing Fiyero…" Avaric spoke "You're just curious. I can understand…"

"Well, what can I say?" Fiyero raised an eyebrow. "I kind of liked it."
"You liked doing Greenie?" Avaric smiled "So did she have the curves in the right places?"
"That should be none of your business." A smile appeared on Fiyero's face. "Yeah, but my dream Elphaba had curves in all the right places. She wasn't all that bad…"
"Well, you had her in bed in your dream…" Avaric smiled "So would you switch Glinda for the green bean. Would you?"

"I don't know…" Fiyero turned away. Off course not, why would I switch Glinda?"
"Then put those dreams out of your mind…" Avaric spoke "One time it's interesting. When you do it more than once, you'll feel bad for her. Or maybe even like her. That would be a disaster!"

Elphaba slowly stepped in the library. She pulled her arms to her chest. 'Stop thinking about him', her mind screamed. Fiyero wasn't the one she should be thinking about. She should be thinking about school, about helping someone. Maybe even about animal rights, anything but Fiyero. Wasn't there something she could do? Something that would prevent her brain from thinking about the half god that was called Fiyero Tiggular. How did the word half god come in her mind? Why was she even thinking about his chest? About his muscles? Why was she thinking about any of it. She should just make out with someone, and let Fiyero's kiss be erased from her mind. The only trouble was, she didn't forget anything. Not any memory.

'you walked away', Elphaba's mind screamed. You chose to be forgotten. Would Fiyero know something about her? Would he remember an outline of events? Would he remember their night together, or was she in his mind just an unnamed face. Would she be added to a group of conquest. One that Fiyero would brag about. 'This one time I seduced a green girl.' Off course Glinda would know it was about her. What other green girls were present at this school. Elphaba put her head in her both hands. Why did she even think about this?

"Elphie?" Glinda stepped in the library. "Here you are, are you okay? You just ran off, I'm worried about you Elphie. Did Fiyero harm you in any way?"
'Yes', Elphaba's mind replied. 'Not really harm.'

"Glinda, no." Elphaba spoke "You know that me and Fiyero hardly know each other. It's your friends I got annoyed with. I don't like being called artichoke. I didn't want to hanger around your friends. That's what they are your friends… "
"Well, they could be your friends too…" Glinda put an arm around her shoulders. "Elphie, you do know that people won't like you. Not if you don't show them the real you. You have to show them, everything you can."

'Like me having sex with your man', Elphaba's brain talked, but she didn't say a word. She turned around and took another book. Why would she even care about saying something like that? She smiled at Glinda for just one moment.
"Elphie, you are amazing…" Glinda smiled "Anyone would be lucky to be your friend…"
'Not really, since I'll steal their boyfriend', Elphaba rolled her eyes as she thought those following words.

"Look,…" Elphaba turned to her. "I don't think I disserve any more friends. Maybe people are right, about keeping me away from them."
"Are you crazy, Elphie?" Glinda took her hand. "It's their loss, I know the amazing person you are. Elphaba, you made it possible for me to go to the sorcery class, that's the person you are. I didn't treat you in a good way, I made a fool of you on that party. And yet, you did that. So, that's the person you are. There's no way you could do anything to harm anyone.."

'Accept sleep with Fifi..' Elphaba said in her head, while raising another eyebrow. Glinda noticed the small gesture and tried to mimic the movement. It looked rather strange as Glinda had a smile on her face. She kept staring at her, Elphaba almost believed that she would crack. If she only stopped watching her. Why would she act in this way? Elphaba slowly stepped to the book case. She pulled a book from it.
"What are you reading?" Glinda slowly moved over her shoulder. "Is it a young adult vampire romance novel?"
"A what?" Elphaba raised an eyebrow. "No, I don't read that kind of stuff. It's a biography on someone famous. It doesn't really matter. It's about the past…"
"Don't you hate it how Doctor Dillemand keeps hammering on the past…" Glinda nodded "I want to learn history."
"Hammering on the past is history…" Elphaba smiled

"Yeah, then I hate history." Glinda smiled "Good to know."
"Yeah, it's not obvious." Elphaba had a soft smile on her face. "So, why do you think that Pfannee wants Fiyero?"
"Who doesn't want Fiyero…" Glinda smiled "He is gorgeous. I mean I think on some level you even agree with me."

Elphaba gave her a soft smile. Elphaba admitted that she agree with Glinda on everything. Again her mind went to Fiyero. His perfect. Stop it!
"Well, I don't trust Pfannee…" Glinda smiled "I trust you with him fully. I know you would never do anything."
"Yeah…" Elphaba spoke "What would you do if Pfannee slept with Fiyero?"

"I would kick her ass!" Glinda smiled. "Listen, the one who takes Fifi away from me, will wish she was never born. Revenge is the thing I live for. If Fiyero ever sleeps with anyone, I will make sure that she will not be able to walk on the street. I'll make sure no one ever talks to her. In the end she'll be so unhappy, that she'll move…"
"Just for sleeping with Fiyero…" Elphaba tried to hide her basic feelings.
"Off course, silly." Glinda bumped her softly. "Why are you asking?"

"Nothing…" Elphaba smiled "Someone could have been really drunk, and just fall in to bed with someone you know. I heard it happens all the time."
"You don't fall in to bed with someone…" Glinda spoke "Being drunk is just an excuse. Feelings are always shining through. You'll notice that when you fall in love."
'I am in love', Elphaba thought as she turned away from Glinda. She slowly sat down and started to read the small letters in front of her. She hoped that Glinda wasn't seeing anything in her behavior. She didn't want to look like anyone.

"Elphie, what if I look for a nice boy?"
"You said Fiyero was the only nice boy…"

"Don't think about it, Fiyero…" Fiyero put his hands to the mirror. He saw how his eyes looked back at him. His bed was still messy from the previous night. He had to admit that making his bed was something he didn't like to do. Now it seemed worst. Today he wanted to keep the bed this way. He grabbed one of the cushions and noticed the smell was different. Like someone had really been there. It almost looked like Elphaba's smell. Elphaba had a nice smell to her, it looked like a library. It oozed charm. Something Elphaba didn't miss. If only she wasn't green or sarcastic.

Fiyero closed his eyes. Another dream about Elphaba was welcome. After all, dreaming wasn't cheating. Dream Fiyero would be able to enjoy something he would never. At least the memories were written in his mind. Fiyero closed his eyes and let the dream take over. If only he knew the truth about everything.

At almost the same moment, Elphaba Thropp lay down in her own bed. Her eyes were turned away from Glinda. She turned around, and slipped in a restless sleep. For her dreams could betray the affection she had towards Fiyero.
