Sorry. I finished this a couple of days ago when i didn't have wifi and i forgot about it!

"I need a dress, make up, jewelry, shoes, hair accessories, a purse... What else?" Glinda muttered.
"Glinda, calm down. You have an hour!" Elphaba groaned.
"I know! Only an hour!" Glinda exclaimed.
"Glinda, i'm going downstairs. Have fun with, that," Elphaba slowly backed out of the room and then took off, happy that she wasn't girly.
She was dressed in a simple black and white dress and black boots. Glinda begged her to put the pink flower in her hair, and after a lot of persistance, she agreed.
But Elphaba Thropp wasn't really just going downstairs. She was meeting someone.
"Elphaba?" Someone whispered. "Is that you?"
"Boq! O Romeo, Romeo,
wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name,
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet," Elphaba recited.
Boq's face held a questioning look.
"I was quoting...Romeo...and Juliet...nevermind," Elphaba mumbled.
"You look pretty. So, are we going to do this now? Here?" Boq asked.
"Just as long as no one hears us," Elphaba whispered. "Remember, i've never done this before."
"Okay, be gentle," Boq told.
Elphaba slowly leaned over...her spell book.
Oh, you didn't think they were going to... You have sick minds.
Elphaba slowly chanted the words.
Boq let out a wimper, but Elphaba kept going. It was too late to go back.
With a final, forceful word, Boq squeezed Elphaba's hand.
"Holy Shiz," Elphaba murmered as the hand gripping hers turned from tin to flesh.
"Elphaba!" Glinda called, walking down the stairs.
"You have to go. She can't see us together," Elphaba whispered.
"I'll see you later," Boq said with a smile. Then he disappeared.
"Elphaba!" Glinda yelled again, getting worried.
"I'm in here," Elphaba said, walking into the room.
"You had me worried for a moment. Where were you?" Glinda wondered.
"I'm actually not sure. This house is so big!" Elphaba felt bad for lying, but Boq wanted it to be a surprise.
"Oh. Okay. Have you seen my make up bag?" Glinda asked.
"It's in your purple purse," Elphaba answered.
"Which one? Is it sparkly?" Glinda pressed.
"It is sparkly and has lace at the bottom," Elphaba said.
"That narrows it down to two. I'll look at both of them," Glinda muttered.
Glinda hurried off with Elphaba shaking her head.
In no time, the door bell rang.
Elphaba opened the door to find Boq and Nick, both wearing suits and carrying flowers.
"Boq, Nick, come in," Elphaba greeted.
Nick handed her her flowers as he came in. They were roses.
"The rose. Interesting choice," Elphaba murmered.
"How so?" Nick asked.
"The rose symbolizes romance. It also is known for its thorns. You could get hurt from a thorn. Kind of like me," Elphaba informed.
"But you have to be brave to pick a rose withoutgetting hurt, and the outcome of picking the rose is worth the danger. Also like you," Nick responded.
Elphaba smiled.
"Glinda! They are here!" She called.
"Okay," Glinda said, hurrying into the room. "I'm finally...ready...."
She trailed off when she saw Boq.
"What?" Boq asked. "Is something different about me?"
"Boq, how...?"
"Thank Elphaba for that," Boq said.
Glinda and Elphaba exchanged smiles.
"We shouod get going! We have reservations!" Nick interrupted.
"Reservations? Fancy," Elphaba smiled.
"Only the best for you."
"We should go, too," Boq said.
"Wait!" A voice yelled.
"Oh no," Elphaba muttered.
"See ya," Glinda whispered before pulling Boq out the door.
Frexspar walked into the room.
"So, you are this Nick character," He said.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, sir," Nick greeted, shaking Frex's hand.
"I have some questions..."
"Bye dad," Elphaba told, kissing him on the cheek and grabbing Nick's hand.
"Goodbye, sir, i'll have her home," Nick shouted before Elphaba closed the door.
"He seems nice," Christery said, walking in.
"Yes. I think he actually makes Elphaba happy," Frexspar muttered.
"We'll see how these dates turn out."
