I'm back! Camp was fun...and full of Oz-heads (very interesting dicussions)
As I said to Bang You're Dead: Wicked was...it could only be descibed in one word; wicked. I cried 4 times, lauged my head off in popular, kept sighing in ALAYM, and wanted to hug someone in For Good. Wizard and I was amazing, Defying Gravity was powerful, as was No Good Deed. The Galinda was halarious, the Elphaba was an amazing actress and I LOVED Fiyero's pants!

Galinda stood in front of her giant shoe rack, trying to decide which pair to wear with her new frilly pink dress. As she modeled a sixth style in the mirror, she caught a glimpse of her green-skinned roommate slipping into the room, carrying a large stack of books. She watched as Elphaba set the books down on a desk and turned towards the mirror, shooting her a glare that dared the blond to bother her.
Galinda just glared back, not wanting to waste the opportunity to loathe her enemy. After that, no communication of any sort passed between them, and the room was, as it was every night, filled with a sticky silence for several hours. Galinda had already picked a dress and gotten ready for bed (each being a multi-hour event) by the time she even looked at her roommate again.
Elphaba was curled up in her bed asleep, an open book laying across her chest. In her hands, she clutched a green bottle. Galinda's nose crinkled in confusion; what in the world was that? Though she knew the consequences of bothering her roommate probably involved getting turned into something nasty, curiosity got the best of her.
As sleuth-ly as the blond could manage (which was rather pathetic), she slipped the green bottle out of her grasp. The green girl's face twitched in her sleep, but she didn't wake up and Galinda mentally celebrated her achievement.
As she tip-toed over to her own bed, she examined the funny little bottle. It was small and easy fit into her small palm. Faded letters could just be made out on the old label; Green Elixir, the rest of it was too torn or faded to read. If she had seen it anywhere else, she would have considered it trash, but knowing her roommate, it was probably either magical or highly significant. Elphaba didn't seem to own many other personal items, so it probably meant something to her.
Ideas swarmed her head about hiding the bottle from the girl out of pure spite, but for some strange reason, she couldn't bring herself to do it. Something held her back that she could not identify, all she wanted to do was put it back. So, as sneaky as before (or rather, non-sneaky), she slipped the bottle back into Elphaba's grasp, who smiled in her sleep as she was reunited with it.
Galinda stared at the girl, confusified. What was the significance of something that useless? Why did it say Green Elixir? Why did Elphaba, who was so tough and emotionless, need the bottle for comfort?
For the first time in her blond, frilly life, Galinda stayed up the whole night thinking, unable to figure out the strange puzzle that was Elphaba Thropp.
I love reviews!
