Author's Note: This is it! The end of the story. Wow. I had such a fun journey in writing this, but you guys all made the posting of it that much better! This story broke all of my previous records for reviews. I want to say a big THANKYOU to everyone who read, faved, followed or reviewed - you seriously have no idea how much it means to me.

I also just want to send a quick shout-out to my twin for not only being my first-ever 100TH reviewer (wuv you!), but for helping me finish the story simply by reading what I'd already written and telling me what she liked. Thanks, Maddy! 3

So this is really it. I can't believe we're already to this point, and I kind of don't want it to end! But it must, so it shall. The good news, though (at least, I hope it is), is that I have a sequel in the works. It's likely to be months before I finish it, as I have a couple of other stories that are a priority right now (not to mention I now have uni to consider), but I'm really excited about it.

Anyway, enough of the rambling. One last THANKYOU to everyone, and this little epilogue. I shall see you all for the next ride (hopefully)! :)

EPILOGUE:

Elphaba found Fiyero wandering around in the courtyard. She stood there, just watching him quietly for a moment, until he turned around.

As soon as he caught sight of Elphaba, Fiyero strode over to her and took her in his arms, greeting her with a deep kiss which left both of them quite breathless.

"Good morning," Fiyero whispered, brushing a stray strand of hair away from Elphaba's face.

Elphaba smiled softly and wrapped her arms around Fiyero's neck. "Is this how you're going to greet me every morning?" she teased.

"It seems like a good idea," Fiyero replied with a grin. His grin soon faded, however, when he remembered that there may still be a slight problem with him getting together with Elphaba.

"Fiyero? What is it?" Elphaba asked as Fiyero pulled away and put his hands in his pockets.

Fiyero grimaced. "How, uh…how did Galinda take it?"

Elphaba sighed and sat down on a nearby bench. "You know how I said her reaction wasn't pretty when she figured out the notes and flowers must have come from you?"

"Worse?" Fiyero guessed.

"Much worse. She smashed a mug, a plate and her fist; screamed her lungs out; cried her heart out; and nearly killed me to top it all off. Don't worry," Elphaba reassured him as he screwed up his face guiltily, "she's over it now. She's forgiven you and is quite happy for us to be together."

"Should I believe that?" Fiyero asked doubtfully.

"Actually, yes. I know Galinda when she's just saying things, and this was genuine." Elphaba smiled. "She really thinks we belong together."

Fiyero smiled as well. "I'm glad. Because I think we belong together, too."

"So...does this mean we're…?" Elphaba asked shyly, biting her lip.

"If you would like to."

Elphaba nodded. "I would like that a lot."

"Good." Fiyero pulled Elphaba up and kissed her again.

"Just one question," Elphaba said as they broke apart.

"What's that?"

"Are you going to continue to use floriography?"

"Well, I do kind of like the idea…" Fiyero admitted.

"Then perhaps you'd better teach me some more about it," Elphaba suggested.

Fiyero grinned as he leant in for yet another kiss. "I would love to."
