A/N: This chapter's song is We Belong by Pat Benatar
"Elphie, please don't hate me" said the blonde, her voice choked with emotion.
"Glinda" she placed a green hand upon Glinda's. "I don't hate you and I never will. Glinda, I have something to tell you also" she took a deep breath. "I love you too"
We belong, we belong to the light
"Y-You do?" asked Glinda, who wasn't sure if she had heard Elphaba correctly.
"Yes I do, but I was too afraid that you'd hate me. And now I know, all those nights I couldn't keep from crying, they were just because I thought you didn't love"
Many times I've tried to tell you
Many times I've cried alone
"But I do love you, Elphie with all my heart. I'm a bit shocked you feel the same way"
Always I'm surprised how well you
Cut my feelings to the bone
"Elphie, I don't think you will, but if you ever leave me…I swear I'll hex you" said Glinda. "Because I drove myself mad, and I've spent too much time worrying for this to go to waste. Elphie, don't you ever change your mind about me"
Don't want to leave you really
I've invested too much time
To give you up that easy
To the doubts that complicate your mind
"Good thing I don't plan on it. Glinda I think we belong together"
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, We belong
We belong together
"And believe me when I say I feel like I'm weak because I didn't tell you" said Elphaba.
"Elphie, you're not weak, you were afraid, like I was" said Glinda.
"Maybe your right, maybe I didn't know what to do with my strength
Maybe it's a sign of weakness
When I don't know what to say
Maybe I just wouldn't know
What to do with my strength anyway
"Elphie, what will we do?" asked the blonde.
"You mean besides each other?" said the emerald woman slyly.
"Elphie!" Glinda admonished. "What I mean is what will we do about us, as a couple, I don't think I'll be ready to reveal our relationship anytime soon."
Have we become a habit
Do we distort the facts
"Glinda, don't worry about that right now. Right now there's only us, don't think of what if futures and pasts"
Now there's no looking forward
Now there's no turning back
"Because we belong together" said Glinda.
"Yes, Glinda, we belong together"
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, We belong
We belong together
Years went by, and in those years both Elphaba and Glinda's lives would change. Glinda would be called Good and Elphaba would be called Wicked. And so many nights Glinda stayed awake crying, trying to will herself asleep, and clear her mind of the pain she felt. She couldn't believe her Elphie was gone. And sometimes in the night she could hear Elphie say; "We belong together" and Glinda could see the beautiful witch's face everywhere she went.
Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Close your eyes and try to dream
Clear your mind and do your best
To try and wash the palette clean
We can't begin to know it
How much we really care
I hear your voice inside me
I see your face everywhere
Still you say
But as everyone knows, the story didn't end with a bucket of water. No Elphaba Thropp was not dead, and she had vowed to return to her true love. And here she was, nervously waiting for the moment when Glinda would become her wife.
"Elphaba, are you ready?" asked Chistery, whose speech had greatly improved over the years.
"Yes Chistery, I'm just a little nervous" she said, although nervous seemed to tame, terrified would be a better word.
"It'll be okay, now go, she's waiting for you" the winged monkey gave the back of Elphaba's leg a gentle push.
Now the emerald woman stood on the stage, looking at the people and Animals attending the wedding. She saw Fiyero, who was beaming with happiness for the women, and Boq, who had finally forgiven her for turning him into tin, and the Lion too, who had realized Elphaba had not turned him into a coward. She looked up and saw Glinda, being walked down the aisle by her father. Chistery, who was performing the ceremony took his place on the stage.
"I love you Elphie" Glinda whispered, once she had gotten to the stage.
"I love you too Glinda"
"Dearly beloved we gather here today, to join these two women in the bonds of matrimony, in the presence of these people and of God…" Chistery said as he began the act of joining Elphaba and Glinda together forever.
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, We belong
We belong together
A/N: Ah well that's the last chapter, hope you all liked it and I apologize to those who wanted to see this story go on longer.
