Chapter 1 – The Beginning of the End.
"And then Pfannee and I went to the Oz Dust Boutique and I got the prettiest dress, and Fifi, guess what colour it is, Elphie? Can you guess?" Galinda exclaimed.
The threesome were sitting on the grass outside the girl's dorms. Fiyero was trying to figure out what to write for his History essay, Elphaba was reading, which was no surprise to anyone, and Galinda, well, she was just chatting away to herself, not that she noticed no one else was listening.
Elphaba and Fiyero looked at each other, giving a silent nod and they both laughed the answer to Galinda's 'oh-so-obvious' question.
"Pink!" They both chuckled, much to Galinda's annoyance.
"Elphie, Fifi, that's not funny!" huffed Galinda, giving the best angry pout she could manage. Elphaba rolled her eyes at the blonde and continued reading her book on Animal Rights.
"Fiyero, am I really that predictable?" Galinda asked her boyfriend of two months.
"Oh, Galinda dear, of course not!" Fiyero marked his page and scooted over to his girlfriend. "We just know you like pink is all, my dear." Fiyero kissed Galinda softly, making a previously silent Elphaba gag loudly. Galinda threw her sorcery book at Elphaba.
"Hey! What did I do?" Elphaba laughed and raised her hands, pleading her innocence.
"Elphie!" Galinda whined. "You know what you did! Don't deny it!" Galinda narrowed her eyes at Elphaba, making both her and Fiyero laugh. They knew Galinda was easily annoyed and so they persevered in agitating her.
"Fiyero! Don't side with Elphie, you're making fun of me, aren't you?" Galinda looked back and forth between Elphaba and Fiyero, her long blonde curls flipping from side to side.
"I'm sorry Galinda!" Fiyero said, trying to keep a straight face. "It's just that… umm… you're cute when you're angry!" Fiyero smothered a laugh, but unfortunately the extremely observant Galinda spotted it.
"Fine then! If you two insist on teasing me, I'm going to go do my work in our room, alone! All by myself!" stated Galinda angrily. She shoved all her books in her bag, got up and walked away before Elphaba or Fiyero could think twice. Elphaba tore her gaze away from her book to see Galinda storming off to the dorms and Fiyero sitting where Galinda previously was, looking slightly confused.
"Fiyero, she's just being silly! Don't worry about it!" Elphaba said to Fiyero, trying to reassure him.
"Oh, I know!" Fiyero laughed, snapping back to the reality before him. "We both know she just does this for attention." Fiyero nodded as if to confirm what he said to himself, and continued writing.
Elphaba walked into her dorm room later that night, putting her bag down on her desk and scanning the room for her roommate. She found Galinda lying face down on her bed, and being the concerned best friend Elphaba was, she went to Galinda's bedside to see what was wrong. She saw Galinda's even breathing and realised she was asleep, so she lightly shook her friend softly.
"Galinda, are you okay?" Elphaba asked, when Galinda propped herself up on her elbows and looked at Elphaba.
"Ummm, I'm fine Elphie. I ju-" Galinda started.
Elphaba cut her off. "Galinda, I can see you're not okay. Your eyes are red and puffy, you've been crying," she said, retrieving some tissues from her desk.
"Elphie, it's just that… I-" Galinda broke down into a mess of tears. They started off soft and quiet but quickly turned to heart wrenching sobs.
"Galinda! Shhhh! It's okay, whatever happened… we can fix it!" Elphaba soothed, pulling Galinda into a tight embrace and stroking the blonde's hair.
"I… I… don't think…we…can!" Galinda whimpered. Elphaba looked shocked for a second. Galinda had always been the bright, optimistic one of the group. For her to break down like this and give up hope on something was completely out of character.
"Glin, please tell me what's wrong!" Elphaba said sternly. Galinda looked up at Elphaba, tears in her eyes again, ready to spill over at any second.
"It's Fiyero," Galinda stated. "He's just… different. Ever since that day they took Doctor Dillamond. He's been distant, and he's been thinking, which really worries me! But it's never around you! He's always the perfect boyfriend when we are with you. But when we are alone, he always seems to be thinking about something else whenever I talk!"
Elphaba had to quickly process what Galinda was saying. Fiyero had been distant from Galinda ever since that day in the clearing. That day…
"Galinda, I'm sure he has just been busy with his History essay or something! You don't have anything to worry about, I'm sure!" Elphaba reassured her. But Galinda wasn't convinced.
"Elphaba, I don't think so! I think it's over, he just isn't into this relationship anymore!" Galinda cried, sitting up fully.
"Glin, don't do anything too extreme, okay? Don't do something you are going to regret the next day!" Elphaba warned
"I won't Elphie, I promise! I know what I have to do and why. Trust me, please," Galinda replied, looking into Elphaba's eyes.
"Okay, Glin," Elphaba said, taking Galinda's hands and squeezing them softly.
Galinda suddenly grinned. "Elphie?"
"Yes, Galinda?"
"Did you just call me Glin?" she laughed.
"Ummm…" Elphaba stammered, blushing a deep green. "Yeah! I hope you don't mind. Since you gave me a nickname, which I still think is too perky for me, I thought you should have one too because Galinda is such a stretch and-"
"Elphie! Elphie! Take a breath! It's okay, I love it," Galinda giggled.
"Oh?" Elphaba laughed, "Well, Glin, I'm going to go get ready for bed."
"Okay Elphie!" Galinda smiled and snuggled under her covers. "Oh, and one more thing! You must tell me all that happened when I left this afternoon!"
Elphaba laughed and went into the bathroom, shaking her head. She never changes! Elphaba thought to herself as she rubbed oils into her emerald green skin.
When Elphaba came out of the bathroom, she saw Galinda in a deep sleep and smiled to herself. She placed a kiss on top of Galinda's head before climbing into her own bead and falling into a deep sleep.
