Because happy is what happens When all your dreams come true!

Everything was perfect! There were streamers in pink and green and yellow and punch and refreshments. Elphaba had found another dress in Glinda's closet that was Just Perfect as well--perfectly pink with satin and beading and ruffles. She and her friends had worked very very hard on this party and she just knew it was going to be the best one

Once Fiyero was there, the party was perfect! But oh my, it was a lot of work to be a hostess for an important party like an engagement. She wondered if she was going to have to make a speech. Elphaba wasn't any good at speeches but everyone loved to listen to her anyway because she knew all about being popular.

As anyone arrived (or wandered close enough much to their chagrin) Elphaba made certain that she greeted them and thanked them for coming. From the point of view of the "guest" it was rather like being attacked by a shrill, pink cream puff.

Strictly speaking, he had no issues with cream puffs, pink or otherwise. As an edible object, they tasted delicious. As a projectile human female, they were usually quite fun. He could, however, do without the shrillness. That grated just a bit, but he managed to maintain a smile regardless.

"Would I miss a spectacular party organized by a lady as lovely as yourself?"

"Oh! Oh, you're Maggie's ex sweetie!" Elphaba's dark eyes widened like she hadn't met him the night before. Maybe she just didn't remember that part. She gave him an explosive hug and then a solid kiss on the mouth. "Thank you for coming to my party. I hoped that you would!"

[sgmitchell]

Maggie. Why had he never thought to call her that? At the least, it would have been spectacular to see her face when he did it. 'Ex-sweetie' worked well enough for him--although even if it hadn't, he wouldn't have had a hope to voice complaint through the woman's enthusiastic hug.

He grinned, making certain he was extracted from her grip--just in case she felt the need to hug him again, she would be more likely to start from scratch, rather than dial it up. "I try not to disappoint, Darlin'."

"Did you come by yourself?" She looked around, like a date might materialize for him out of thin and and seemed disappointed when that failed to happen. "Oh, I suppose so. Well, that's all right. You don't have to be paired up at an engagment party! Only the bride and groom do!" She giggled at her own wit, teetering about on her high heels.

[sgmitchell]

Arriving at a party with a date would have defeated the entire purpose. Unless it was an act of courtship, he supposed...but then he would have used something far less likely to allow someone else to pick up his potential target.

Still, he gave a good-natured smile. "And how are the bride and groom doing?"

Elphaba tossed her hair, pleased by the question. "Fiyero and I are absolutely perfect. We were meant to be together forever and ever and have lots of babies. The first one will be a girl and she'll look just like me." Her dark eyes sparkled.

[sgmitchell]

He hadn't a clue who this Fiyero was, but he was an irresponsible beau if he was letting a little bundle of pink and green energy run across hell and back without surveillance.

"Sounds like she'll be a beautiful baby, then."
