you walked into kiamo ko, completely ignoring the signs that said to turn back. how theatrical of elphie to put those up, you thought to yourself. you entered the castle, avoiding the monkeys and ending up getting to her potions room. (turns out monkeys don’t make very good security guards, no matter how awesome their wings are.)

you hid behind her curtain, getting ready to make your own theatrics. you’re a sucker for a dramatic entrance. when she enters the room, you notice her pause a bit, but didn’t think much of it. just when you got ready to dramatically move the curtain, it moved before you could.

elphaba grabbed it and moved it, having noticed your horrible hiding spot, and now had a wand against your throat. you could slightly feel the magic pulsing through it. you looked at her, undeterred by her threatening stance, but pretty much in shock.

she’s more beautiful than you remembered.

after just a moment, recognition flashed in her eyes. she knew you. how could she forget the only person she’s ever dated? she’d assumed you stopped liking her when she became the wicked witch of the west. not fully trusting you, she relaxed her grip on the wand slightly, but kept it against your throat.

“what are you doing here???”
