"Elphie?"

"Hmm?"

The blonde shook her head. "Never mind. It's nothing."

The green woman looked down at the girl she currently had her arm around. "It must have been something if you wanted to bring it up."

Galinda smiled up at Elphaba before giving her a quick kiss. "It's nothing, really. I promise."

The green woman looked uncertain, but smiled, deciding not to press further. "If you say so, my sweet."

"I do say so."

The two sighed in unison, and Glinda curled up closer to her lover, directing her attention back to the night sky. The two girls were spending their summer vacation at Galinda's summer home, which was located on the beach. While Elphaba never strayed too far to the ocean, she would accompany the blonde down to the beach every day, and watch her lover from the safety of the sand.

"Have you gotten a letter from Nessa lately?" the blonde suddenly asked.

"One, but it was very brief. She hasn't had much time to write long letters with excruciating details, which is perfectly fine with me."

"Elphaba, you make it sound like she's annoying you."

"Well, the more time I have to spend reading her letters means the less time I have to spend with you."

Galinda turned pink, and looked back up at the dark sky again. "The stars are so beautiful. We never get time to look at them at school."

"Well, you preferred to occupy our time performing a much different activity."

"You never complained!"

"I had no reason to."

"Now you're just saying this to get into my bed."

"I disagree. I am saying that to get into your bed with you."

"Stop it, you awful green thing."

Elphaba laughed, and pulled the blonde closer. "It's getting late, and whether or not you plan to go to sleep with me, we should go back inside."

"Five more minutes," the blonde pleaded.

"You'll catch a cold."

"In this weather? Hardly."

"Galinda."

Uh, oh. The blonde knew that tone. That was Elphaba's you'd-better-listen-to-me-right-now-or-else tone. Galinda stood up reluctantly and followed Elphaba back inside. The green woman closed the sliding glass door to the balcony, and made sure it was locked.

"Now about that bed…" she said, turning to Galinda with a grin.


The sound of shattering glass roused the green woman from her sleep, and she was immediately awake. Her movements woke the blonde sleeping beside her.

"What is it?" Galinda asked sleepily.

"I don't know. Stay here while I go investigate."

Elphaba got out of the bed, grabbing her robe and putting it on as she did. She left the room and headed downstairs towards the noise. As she descended further down the stairs, she became aware of a rustling noise. She rounded the corner and was met with a figure stuffing whatever they could get their hands on into a large bag. Their back was to Elphaba, and she figured that the best plan of attack would be to sneak up behind them. She started forward slowly… she was mere feet away now…

"Elphaba, what's—"

The blonde stopped short at the sight of the bandit, and screamed. The person turned just as Elphaba leapt at them. She and the bandit fell to the ground, where they struggled for a few moments before the bandit managed to shove Elphaba away, get to their feet, and flee. Elphaba stood quickly to give chase and—

WHA-CRACK!

The green witch collapsed back to the floor. When she had been shoved away, she had rolled under the mantel. Not realizing this, however, when she had stood up to give chase, her head had smashed into the mantel, bringing her back to the floor.

"Elphaba!" Galinda cried, running to her lover's aid. She kneeled beside the motionless woman. "Elphie?"

A few tense moments passed, then Elphaba stirred and sat up, putting a hand to her head. Her eyes fell on the blonde, and narrowed. "For the last time, Galinda, I didn't take your dress! Now give me back my book."

The blonde was taken aback. "I didn't say you took my dress."

"Are you really that thick? You said it just five seconds ago!"

Now Galinda was very confused, yet this conversation seemed oddly familiar…

The green woman was now looking around. "Where are we? I swear we were just in our dorm…"

"Elphaba, are you all right?"

"I'm fine! My head just hurts a little, that's all." Elphaba stood up. "Where are we?"

"You really don't know?"

"Are you mocking me, Miss Galinda?"

The way Elphaba spat out the honorific made Galinda cringe. She had no idea what to think now. Why was Elphaba acting this way?

"We're… at my summer house," she replied.

"Why would I be at your summer house with you and—"

The green woman caught sight of what she was wearing. "Did you change my clothes?"

"No!"

"This is not what I was wearing before."

"You put that on after you got out of bed! You heard that person breaking in, remember?"

"If this is one of your jokes, Miss Galinda, I am certainly not amused. I would appreciate it if you would stop this charade and let me return to my room."

"We're not at Shiz!" Galinda had finally snapped. "It's summer vacation, and you came to my summer house with me!"

Elphaba raised an eyebrow. "And why would I do that?"

"Because we've been in a relationship for the past six months!"

Elphaba paused; now she was the one who looked confused. "I can hardly believe that the great Galinda Upland would even consider being in a relationship with another woman, let alone a green bean."

"Don't call yourself that!"

"You're getting awfully upset. Very un-ladylike."

Galinda was about ready to explode, but she forced herself to remain calm; something she had learned from Elphaba. "Elphaba," she started, her voice shaking, "are you telling me that you don't remember anything from the past six months?"

"The last thing I remember is you accusing me of stealing your dress."

Galinda looked down, trying to hold back her tears. That had happened six months ago, right before Elphaba had gotten—

Amnesia.

The realization hit Galinda like a slap across the face. When Elphaba had smacked her head on the mantel, she had gotten amnesia. Again.

That means everything that happened between us… means nothing now?

"I don't understand why you're crying."

Elphaba's sharp voice brought the blonde from her thoughts. She realized that she had been crying, and quickly wiped the tears away.

"It's nothing," she said. If Elphaba had amnesia, that meant that blonde would have to rebuild their relationship from scratch… and this time, Elphaba was sure to be the one resisting.
