So they were working with bugs today? Cool! Any activity that involved creatures was a-okay with Fiyero. Hmm, maybe the rest of this class wouldn't be do terrible after all...

So which one should he pick? Those spiders looked like they'd be loads of fun, but he remembered Professor Ichihara saying they were also the hardest to transfigure. Maybe not the best idea... He'd already humiliated himself enough for one day, and he didn't trust Professor Ichihara not to splash him again if he did it wrong. He decided to play it safe and opted for the caterpillar, but...

Hold on, where were the caterpillars? Fiyero peered into the tanks and saw leaves and what looked like a bunch of pine needles but no caterpillars! Was Professor Ichihara putting him on? The pine needles wiggled suddenly, and Fiyero realized they were the caterpillars. Awesome!

He started to stick his hand in the tank to pick up one of the caterpillars but quickly drew it back. He didn't want to accidentally squish it! It was better to let the bug come to him. "Come on out, don't be shy," he said, dangling a finger in front of the nearest caterpillar like a bridge for it to climb.

The caterpillar remained motionless for a few seconds, as if debating whether or not to trust him, before inching its way onto his finger. "Hey, that tickles!" Fiyero said, laughing a little bit as all those legs touched his skin. He carefully lifted his arm so as not to drop the caterpillar as he made his way back to his desk. "No, don't go in there!" he scolded the bug, gently blocking it with his other hand as it tried to crawl up his sleeve.

Fiyero looked around the room at his classmates, who were naming and talking to their bugs. So was he supposed to name it? He assumed so, since everybody else was doing it. But what name should he choose? He thought about calling it Red since it was a Baron caterpillar after all, but that would be weird, considering the bug was green! Wait a second, that was it! "I'll call you Elphaba," he said to the caterpillar. Now there was a name he knew his theater snob dad would approve of!

Fiyero picked up his quill and a parchment, taking extra care not to squish Elphaba who was keeping busy crawling all over his desk as he jotted down a few notes.

As he watched Elphaba crawl back onto his arm, he almost wished he didn't have to transfigure his little friend. He was pretty sure he'd have more fun with a caterpillar than whatever he was going to be asked to turn it into!
