The whole weekend was the longest in Boq's life. He stayed in his dorm locked in and in his bed for most of the time. (His roommate is away the whole week.) He refused to even step out of the room or even answer the door, so he stayed there in his bed staring at the wall hiding away from the world. He still hoped that he would wake up from the nightmare but knew that this was all real. He now wished that it wasn't real.

It was nearly Monday evening when he heard a knock on the door. He pulled the covers up over his head ignoring it.

It was silent for a few seconds until it started again.

"Boq?" Elphaba's voice calls. "Boq? It's me, Elphaba. Are you in there?"

He mumbled, "Go away."

"Boq, please let me in or I'll use magic to unlock the door."

That made the Munchkin sit up on his bed.

"Are you alone?" He calls and hears an answer.

"Yes."

He groaned getting out of bed and walked to the door unlocking it and opening it letting the green girl inside.

Elphaba walks in carrying a bag and Boq shuts the door.

She looked at his unmade bed and asked, "You've been in bed all this time?"

He sat back on his bed. "Yeah. I wanted to get away from two heartbreaks and the embarrassment. My girlfriend won't speak to me again, I broke Shenshen heart and the whole school is probably laughing at me right now."

The green girl gave Boq a much closer look. He looked like he hasn't slept much the past nights and his sandy blonde hair is a mess.

"You look terrible."

"Gee thanks El," He replies sarcastically.

She went to sit on his bed next to him. "I got you this since you probably didn't eat." She gave him the bag.

"It's a tuna fish sandwich, an apple, rice pudding and your favorite juice from the cafeteria," she said. "I also went to your professors for notes so you wouldn't miss out since I figured you weren't coming to class today."

Slowly he took the bag and looked inside containing some food and papers and back up to the green girl grateful.

"Thank you Elphaba."

"You're welcome."

He pulled the sandwich out of the bag and unfolding the wrapper.

"What's been happening?" He asked.

"You missed everything Boq. Pfannee was finally gone for good."

Boq started to eat the sandwich as the green girl tells the story.

"Her parents were notified after the Spring Fling that night and came to collect her and her belongings the next morning. You should've seen it Boq! Her parents had to drag her through the gates while she was kicking and screaming like a banshee! It was pretty amusing for a lot of students to see," Elphaba laughs recalling that moment.

The Munchkin looks surprised still eating. "She's got problems," he said with a mouthful.

"Oh yeah she does," Elphaba replies nodding. "It turns out Pfannee has tons of issues and needed lots of therapy and counseling. Her parents kept that information out of her records but Morrible somehow found out and refuses to accept her application but they bribed her to keep her there along with a hefty amount of money."

"Sweet Oz," Boq says after swallowing. "That was the donation Shenshen was talking about!"

After saying that name he felt painful memories wash over him. The heartbroken look on her face says it all.

The green girl continues, "From what I heard, her parents decided to place her in an asylum and have her under observation for twenty-four seven."

Boq's eyes widened. "Oh Shiz. That girl is a complete nutcase."

"Very much so. That spoiled brat is finally getting what's coming to her."

The Munchkin nodded finishing his sandwich and asked a little afraid, "Did anyone say anything about me?"

"Yeah. The news spread around like wildfire. You are a hero Boq!"

He couldn't believe what he was hearing. "What? I'm a hero?"

"Yes!"

"But there's no way! I thought I would be ridiculed for being in the girl's bathroom in the first place."

"If you hadn't, then you would've found out what plans Pfannee had up her sleeve."

"Really? But El, you should be the hero! You helped me-"

"I don't deserve that kind of credit. It was all you."

The Munchkin was about to say something but Elphaba stopped him. "Be glad that you are. Don't worry about me."

Of course he felt bad but the look on her face told him to forget it.

He questions, "Am I still in trouble though? Am I getting expelled too?"

She replies, "I went to Morrible this morning and when I told her about the whole thing, she told me to tell you that the only punishment you'll have is to clean the Ozdust Ballroom for a few hours a week."

"And what about you? I mean you almost killed Pfannee that night?"

"She was going to punish me for that but instead praised me for finally managing to get my magical outbursts under control. I still have to write a five page essay about controlling my temper though I didn't mind at all. I have nothing else better to do at this point."

Now there is only one thing left on that Munchkin's mind.

"What about Galinda? Is she still mad at me about all this?"

"Well, I haven't seen her all weekend since the Spring Fling. I think she's been at Shenshen's dorm," she replies.

Boq sighs laying back on his bed in despair. "I really messed up."

"It's not too late to apologize Boq. I'm sure they'll understand. Galinda will still love you no matter what. Shenshen is a different story but believe me, she'll understand."

After taking a deep breath thinking about it, he nodded, thanked Elphaba for the food and advice before walked out of his dorm.

He decides to go to Shenshen's first. She deserves a huge apology.

Boq took another deep breath walking into Crange Hall went over to Shenshen's dorm and knocked on the door.

The door opens revealing Shenshen who looked like she cried for days, her brown eyes are very red and her brunette hair looked like it wasn't curled to the point. When she saw the munchkin she frowned.

"Hey…" Boq says taking in her appearance.

"Hey," replied Shenshen quietly.

"Can we talk? I understand if you don't want to and I kinda deserve it."

He got a nod in reply getting his attention.

The Munchkin begins, "I'm very sorry about everything. I have lied to you and deceived you and I know I'll never live that down."

Shenshen listens as Boq continued on, "I messed up big time Shenshen. I only disguised myself as Bonella just to expose Pfannee's plans. I know you won't forgive me but I hope you understand."

After he finished, there was a moment of silence. Finally she says, "I still can't get over the fact that Bonella wasn't a real person. But what she said then was true…"

A confused look went onto Boq's face.

"I've been thinking about it all weekend. I have come to realize that in order to win over someone, I just have to win over myself first and not be like anyone else."

A small smile formed on the Munchkin's face.

"Again I am sorry about all this," said Boq. "If I hadn't got myself stuck in the girl's bathroom in the first place, none of that would be happening."

"I was really heartbroken, but I understood why you did it," said the shorter girl.

Boq then said hoping that would cheer her up, "If Bonella were here for real. She would say that Shenshen is definitely the most beautiful girl in the whole world. She was so kind and sweet toward her friends and always helped them through bad times. And she's really funny, always brightens a smile on everyone else's faces."

Shenshen teared up again at those words.

"That is exactly what Bonella thinks of you," he said. "And that is the truth."

The girl started to cry and sniffle and Boq awkwardly and slowly hugged her which she accepted forgiving him and hugging him back.

Letting go of the hug, Boq gently suggests, "Hey… How about first thing tomorrow morning I'll get you a coffee from Ozbucks. To make up for everything." He puts his hand under her chin affectionately having her look up to him.

Shenshen sniffles while nodding yes.

"Right now, I'm gotta find Galinda," he said. "I owe her an apology too."

"Alright. See you at Ozbucks tomorrow before Life Sciences?"

"Yes. I'll see you then," he said about to walk away.

"And Boq?"

The Munchkin looked back at the girl in question and she says with a smile, "Thank you for everything."

That made his lips curl into a smile. "You're welcome Shenshen."

He walked away from Shenshen's dorm and up the stairs and down the hallway to where Elphaba and Galinda's dorm is.

He knocked on the door and the door opened revealing Galinda.

"Hi," she greets with a blank expression on her face.

"Hi," he responds. "How've you been?"

"I've been well. How about you?"

"Miserable."

"Where have you been all this time?" Galinda asked curiously.

"I was locked in my room and refused to come out," her boyfriend answered.

She gave him a look and he takes a deep breath apologizing and confessing everything including his feelings.

"I'm sorry Galinda! I lied to you and everything. I was just very embarrassed. I was scared of what you would think of me as. When we first got together I didn't want to mess it up for you. I figured… I figured that you excepted a lot more from me. Now I ruined everything and I'm sure you are still mad at me for dressing up like a girl to escape the pain and humiliation. If only I turned back the clocks to go back to that day, I would've told you from the start."

She was silent for a moment after he finished before she finally spoke.

"I'm not mad about that Boq… To tell you the truth, it really hurts at first but you did it for a reason. I was upset that not only you led Shenshen on but also my whole friendship with Pfannee was a total lie!"

He listened intently.

"You should've just told me about your situation. I would've helped you.""

"But you would've broken up with me because of that."

"I wouldn't do that Boq! Why do you think I wanted you to be my boyfriend in the first place?"

Boq was hesitant to speak for a moment.

"You are the most charming person I have ever met. Sure, I have ignored you because I liked Fiyero at the beginning of the school year. But we decided to remain friends because weren't right for each other at all. After you and I went to study together for an exam, there was a special connection between us like it's magic. I realized… You are the one for me."

This warms the Munchkin's heart. "You mean that?" He asked.

"Yes I mean it! I still love you no matter what."

"I'm glad. I still love you too."

Now there is only one thing left in Boq's mind.

"There's one thing I don't understand about all this is why and how did Pfannee's diary end up in Elphaba's bag?"

Galinda went silent for a few seconds before she replies, "Now I have a confession to make… That was me."

Boq's eyes widened. "What?!"

She nodded feeling slightly guilty. "I put the diary in Elphaba's bag in sorcery class that morning before I went to meet you and Pfannee at Ozbucks."

After hearing those last few words, Boq realized one thing.

"Wait. You mean…"

"Yes Boq… I kind of knew that you were Bonella the whole time."

The Munchkin's eyeballs looked like they were going to pop out of their sockets and his jaw dropped to the floor. His heart started pounding really quickly. He also felt like he was about to faint right there.

"You knew?! From the start?!"

She nodded before explaining, "You see, when I walked in the girl's bathroom at Life Sciences and saw Elphie there. I heard your voice before I walked in. I thought I was really imagining things though I was a little suspicious about it. When I walked out I heard voices again realizing that it was you in the bathroom. I stayed behind and overheard the conversation between you and Elphie and heard you both discuss Pfannee's plans.

I was suspicious of Pfannee's behavior during the slumber party. And when I saw you kiss Fiyero-"

"It wasn't a kiss. It was all an act."

Galinda continues, "Ok… I saw Pfannee smiling proudly like this is all her idea. That made me even more suspicious. So later that day at lunch when I saw her pour something in Elphie's food and you swiped it when no one was looking just to save Elphie, I switched that plate with Pfannee's during Morrible's announcement before asking her if I can borrow some nail polish. But I made it up as an excuse to go to her dorm to find secrets about her. She went to the bathroom because of the tainted food which was perfect timing. And that was when I found her diary sitting on her desk. I knew I couldn't steal it so she wouldn't find out so I used magic to make another copy with the spell I just learned in sorcery. The reason I said I was going to the library because none of my friends go there except for you and Elphie so I can read privately. After I did I was mortified! All the long I thought Pfannee was my best friend for years when she really is just a fake. And I was upset during our date but it wasn't because you were pretending to date Shenshen while in disguise at the same time but while you were with her, I saw Milla and Avaric. I went to talk with Milla privately. I warned her about Pfannee but she thinks I was crazy and we had an argument. That was why Milla and I weren't speaking to each other then."

Boq listens on.

"The next morning in sorcery class when Elphie wasn't looking I slipped it into her bag. And later that day when I overheard your conversation with Pfannee outside of Ozbucks, it was then I realized that everything she wrote in the diary is true. I figured you and Elphie were going to plan to read in front of everyone during the Spring Fling but that was when I decided that this was my battle against hers just to see how crushed she would be when I read her diary entries."

After she finished, Boq asked not mad, "Why didn't you say anything?"

She replies thinning her lips, "I knew how you would react. I also figured why you did it and Boq…"

He looks up to her blue eyes in reply.

"…You made me realize that sometimes it's the people you are the closest to, that can turn out to be the biggest enemies."

Boq didn't say anything but shrug a little.

"I'm also sorry about her Boq," Galinda apologizes, "I had no idea how rude and controlling she was. Hurting me, you and all my friends."

Her boyfriend gave her a sad expression.

Galinda's eyes tear up her voice cracking as she spoke, "I didn't think she would go that far. I had no idea that what she wanted all the long wasn't my friendship but to use me. And I didn't know she has problems."

He wrapped his arms around her for a hug and she hugs him back crying.

"I never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad she's gone," she declares wiping her tears. "And once word gets around, she'll end up having no one as her friend."

Boq says stroking her blonde curls, "Elphaba told me she's going to be held in an asylum. Maybe after that experience, she'll see how she was very much in the wrong."

"I agree. But it's gonna take a looooooong time to earn everyone else's forgiveness and trust," said the blonde letting go of the hug.

Boq asked, "You still earn mine?"

Galinda smiled wiping her tears. "Of course I do Boq! And I have to admit, I find you dressing up as a girl really amusing!" She giggled a little making her boyfriend's cheeks turn red.

"But still though, I should've told you I knew sooner Boq," she continues. "Otherwise things would've been a lot easier."

"And I should've told you the truth from the beginning," said Boq, thinning his lips. "I'm very sorry Glin."

"I'm very sorry too, Boq."

He wraps his arms around his girlfriend for a hug again.

"Does this mean we're still together?" He asked sounding hopeful.

"I'll still be your girlfriend. But on one condition."

Boq asks cocking his head to the side in confusion, "What's that?"

"If you ever dress like a girl again, let me know next time!"

He knew it was a joke but laughed anyways and they both finally kissed each other for the first time.
