Wicked: The Next Chapter

Chapter 8

When the waitress returned she brought Fiyero his hot dog and me some kind of soup with cheese, chives, potatoes, chicken, and avocado. "Enjoy," said the waitress then she walked away.

"What kind of soup is that?" Fiyero asked nearly laughing.

"I, honestly, have no idea," I answered staring at the soup.

"Try it!"

"Well, ok, I guess," I said picking up my spoon.

Fiyero watched as I slowly put the spoon of soup into my mouth. "So," Fiyero asked, "how was it?"

I swallowed, "Pretty good, actually."

"Really?" Fiyero chuckled, putting his hot dog into his mouth.

"Yup," I answered, getting another spoon of soup.

After our meal the waitress asked if we wanted dessert. "Yes," Fiyero answered quickly, "I'll have the chocolate cake."

"Uhhh, I don't..."

"Ok, coming right up," the waitress interrupted, "I'll be back with your cake in a bit."

After she left, I said "Fiyero, you know I never eat dessert, especially not chocolate cake."

"Oh, come on, Fae, you love chocolate."

"I know I do, but it has a lot of calories, which is exactly why I don't eat it."

"Elphaba, you're as thin as a twig, you need calories."

"Excuse me?"

"Ah, here comes our waitress now!"

"Nice save," I mumbled.
