Special thank-you to Broadwaygirl21 who is always so kind to me and easily one of my favourite people ever!

Also, the best thing ever happened to me yesterday, I LEFT HIGH SCHOOL. Like, this is a big deal.

Another also, (if that makes sense) if anyone knows about West End Live please PM me so I can cry. Willemijn and Jeremy did As Long As You're Mine and it was perfect, and Jeremy wore the Fiyero pants that everybody loves so much. I love him so so much I'm sorry if you don't know who he is, but you should check him out.

Step 5 Kiss The Girl

"Elphie? Where did you get that bracelet?" Galinda asked her best friend, studying the bracelet wrapped around her wrist. It was well into the night and neither Galinda or Elphaba were tired. Elphaba guessed it was around two o'clock, she had been helping Galinda with her essay who had distracted herself with the new accessory that her best friend was sporting.

"It was from Fiyero, to say sorry for what happened this morning. Well, technically yesterday morning." Elphaba explained, twirling the accessory around her wrist, it was becoming a habit to her.

"Oh Elphie!" Galinda cried, "That is so romantic!"

Elphaba smiled at her friend and continued to twirl the bracelet. "Can I ask you something, Elphie?"

"Sure Glin. Go ahead." Elphaba said, even if she had said no Galinda would have gone ahead and asked her anyway.

"When I opened the door earlier, did I.. did I interrupt a moment?" She asked and in reply, Elphaba blushed, "Oz, I did! Elphie if I knew-"

"Glin, don't worry about it. Honestly."

"Would you have kissed him back?" Galinda asked as she moved from her bed onto Elphaba's.

Elphaba shrugged, "I mean, I'd like to have if someone hadn't burst in."

"Elphie, I'm sorry I didn't kn-"

"Glin, come on. I'm joking," Elphaba laughed. "But yes, I think I would have."

Galinda squealed, "I'm just so thrillified for you and Fiyero! You're such a good pairing, don't you agree?"

"I don't know, Glin. We're not even dating." Elphaba replied. Galinda failed to notice the blush forming on her cheeks.

"But you've already been on a date, which technically speaking means that you're dating each other."

"I don't know, Glin. Let's just see how it goes, alright? Now if you don't mind," Elphaba said, climbing into her bed. Educating Galinda was exhausting, "I'm going to sleep now, so good night."

"Night, Elphie." She replied, but Elphaba was already asleep.

Ten o'clock the next morning, Galinda was awake for once while Elphaba had been taking a quick bath, she was startled when there was a knock on their door. She wondered who would be calling this early in the morning (even though ten in the morning really wasn't that early) and especially since there were no classes on Saturdays.

Galinda put down her hair brush and rushed to the door. "Fiyero?"

"Hey Glin," He said, inviting himself in and looking around, "Where's Fae?"

"Who?" Galinda asked, completely clueless.

Fiyero rolled his eyes, "Elphaba."

"Oh, she's taking a bath, I don't think she'll be too long." Galinda said, Fiyero nodded, "so where did the whole Fae thing come from?"

"I don't really know, I liked it. I mean, you call her Elphie and I really don't think she would appreciate it if I started calling her that, so I had to make a name for her too, I mean, she calls me Yero." Fiyero explained, smiling.

"Yeah, it's sweet. Very, what's the word..?" Galinda lost herself in a train of thought. "Intimate!"

Fiyero shrugged in agreement and Galinda spoke again, "So why are you here for Elphie?"

"I was planning on-"

At that precise moment, Elphaba decided to walk out of the bathroom, luckily fully dressed with her hair wet from her bath. She was shocked to see Fiyero and asked, "What are you doing here?" as she proceeded to braid her hair.

"We planned on spending some more time together today, didn't we?" He asked, not failing in noticing the blush that was forming on her cheeks.

She nodded, "Sure."

"So," Elphaba said once her and Fiyero had dismissed themselves from Galinda's presence, "what did you have in mind, Mister Tiggular?"

"Well, I was thinking a picnic." He said with a proud smile.

"A picnic?" She asked.

He studied her expression and panicked. "You don't want to go on a picnic?"

"No," Her eyes widened, "I'd love to. Where are we going?"

"Nowhere special," Fiyero replied, stopping once they were outside his room, "just one of the fields around campus. I just need to pick up a couple of things."

Elphaba nodded and followed Fiyero into his room, watching as he picked up a basket and a blanket. And then they were leaving again.

Fiyero led her to one of the fields, the sun was out so students were using their time to study in the beautiful weather or to just soak it up and sunbathe. He put down the blanket on a section of grass, just a few steps away from the History corridors and under a tree, which provided some coolness and shade. The pair sat down and Fiyero reached into the basket, pulling out a variety of foods. Elphaba guessed that Fiyero had made the food himself, as it was only a selection of sandwiches, and freshly picked strawberries.

"So, what's with the picnic thing?" Elphaba asked, slowly chewing on one of the sandwiches.

Fiyero smiled, "We agreed last night to spend some time together. Or did I just dream that?"

Elphaba could tell Fiyero was flirting with her shamelessly, and so she blushed. "I think I recall something along those lines being said." She replied.

"Well I'm glad you remembered. And I am also glad you're wearing the bracelet." Fiyero told her, causing her blush to return.

"Galinda really liked it," Elphaba replied.

"Do you like it though?"

She looked at the accessory on her wrist as it glistened from the sun, "I love it. I've never been given anything like it before."

He grinned at her, "I'm happy that you like it."

"Come on," Fiyero grinned. He was resting on his elbow whilst offering a strawberry to Elphaba. He was dangling it in front of her face, "this could very well be the world's greatest tasting strawberry and you wouldn't know because you didn't try it."

Elphaba sighed, "Oh, well in that case," and she took a small bite out of the strawberry. Fiyero laughed and took a bite after her.

"I think that was the best strawberry." Elphaba said with a sigh.

The two had been sitting for around three hours just talking and basking in each other's company and Elphaba felt herself falling more and more in love with the boy. It was safe to say Fiyero had felt the exact same.

"Uh," He said after studying her face for a while, "You've got a little something-" and without thinking, (something he often didn't do anyway) he leaned over and wiped her cheek, leaning over and kissing her on the corner of her mouth.

She looked up at him nervously and leaned down again, this time hoping to catch her on the mouth.

"Fabala!" Elphaba heard and Fiyero quickly pulled away. They looked at each other sheepishly as they saw Nessarose and Boq approaching them, smiles on their faces.

"Hi, Nessa. How are you doing?" She asked.

"I'm doing well, thank you Fabala. I wrote to father and he's happy for us to be going home this summer." She explained excitedly.

"Yes, you maybe." Elphaba muttered under her breath, hoping that her younger sister hadn't heard her. Fiyero looked at her questioningly but she just shrugged it off.

"We were wondering if you wanted to come for dinner with us later." Boq asked, "Galinda has agreed to come too."

"We'd love to guys," Fiyero smiled over at Elphaba who smiled and nodded. Boq and Nessa excused themselves and left the pair.

Fiyero groaned as he watched them leave, "Why is it that every time I try and kiss you we get interrupted?"

"Elphie!" Galinda cried when she entered their dorm room. Galinda was getting ready to go to Madame Chaurade's, even though she had been there the night before, she had agreed to go seeing as it was her sister who had asked her. They weren't going for another two and a half hours but Elphaba knew what Galinda was like when getting ready. "How did it go with Fiyero?"

Elphaba smiled as she remembered what had happened not long ago, Fiyero had been walking her to her room and had leaned down and kissed her on the cheek which was something Elphaba wasn't used to. "It was nice." She answered.

Galinda did not look amused. "Just nice? Elphie you're dating the hottest guy on campus and things are just nice?"

Elphaba laughed at how ridiculous her roommate was being. "Glin- Fiyero and I are not dating, okay? We've been on one date, that's it."

"That's not what Boq and Nessa told me," Galinda answered and Elphaba raised an eyebrow questioningly, "they said they saw you two having a cosy little picnic. You looked pretty loved up when they arrived or so they say."

"I didn't think we were," Elphaba lied. The blush on her cheeks told Galinda differently.

"Whatever you say, Elphie," Galinda laughed and went back to her make-up.

It didn't take Elphaba long at all to get ready although Galinda had insisted she wore her hair down because "Fiyero would love it." Elphaba had groaned but agreed anyway.

Nessa and Boq had arrived around seven, so the four left to go and get Fiyero. The reservations had been made for seven-thirty and it only took five minutes at the most to get to Madame Chaurade's.

Galinda chatted to Nessa and Boq as Fiyero and Elphaba trailed behind. When he was certain that the three weren't looking (not that he was embarrassed, but Galinda would have made a big deal over it) he reached down and grabbed Elphaba's hand, which shocked her. She couldn't bring herself to pull away though.

"Did you enjoy our little picnic today?" Fiyero asked in a hushed voice.

"Yes, as a matter of fact, I did." She replied, "I loved it."

"Well, I'm glad 'cause I was kind of hoping-"

"Elphie! We were wondering what you were planning on ordering for dinner!" Galinda had interrupted them, yet again.

"I don't know yet Glin." Elphaba admitted.

Galinda looked at her suspiciously, then her eyes trailed down to her hands. They widened when she saw that Elphaba's green hand was holding onto Fiyero's flesh-coloured one. She grinned, then, "I thought you two weren't dating."

"Well," Fiyero said at the same time Elphaba said, "we're not." They both glanced at each other. Well, that was awkward.

It was ten o'clock when the bill had been paid, courteously by Fiyero and Boq being the gentlemen they were. It was getting dark and they had to be back for ten-thirty. Galinda and Nessa were gushing about a waiter in the restaurant who had shamelessly been flirting with Galinda whilst Boq listened glumly.

"Fae?" Elphaba turned when she saw that Fiyero was stood in his place. She looked at him questioningly as he approached her slowly.

"What are you doing?" She asked in a voice barely above a whisper.

"Something I should have done a very long time ago." He whispered back and then, finally, leaned down and captured her lips with his in a sweet kiss. They blocked out all other noise, not hearing Galinda and Nessa's conversation die down or the expression of shock on Boq's face.

"Finally," Fiyero whispered and then pulled her in for another kiss.
