Hello! Yay, a new fic! Okay, after this chapter, chapters will be short! And this will be my first non-Galinda-centered fic, so just give me a small chance, please. As I said, chapters will be short, but they will be more frequent than my usual updates. So, without further ado, here it is!


Galinda Upland trudged into her dorm room and flopped onto her bed. Her roommate, Elphaba, was already in the room, lying on her bed and staring up at the ceiling. The blonde let out a huff, trying to get the green girl's attention so that she could pester her with rants and complaints about her latest problem.

"What is it?" Elphaba asked, already knowing that her friend was going to rant and complain about whatever problem that she had today. Yesterday, it had been about her lack of fashionable hats. The week before that, it had been about how annoyed she was that the green girl didn't want to get a goldfish for the dorm. And the month before that, it had been about how angry she was that a student had trampled her favorite flower in the courtyard garden. Because SHE had pushed him out of her way!

So Elphaba was not looking forward to having to listen to what the blonde had to say today. It would probably just be some random nonsense that could easily solved with just the slightest bit of knowledge. But, according to Galinda, 'bestest friends always listened to their friends and helped them with their problems'. So Elphaba just prepared to sit and listen to at least a minute of Galinda's ridiculous rants and complaints.

"I'm so mad!" The blonde exclaimed.

"Look, Glin. I'm sorry, but I just really don't think that a goldfish is a good idea. Especially since you want to name it Mr. Pink-A-Licious."

"Ugh! Well, it's better than naming it 'Finwick'!" The blonde argued.

"Finwick is a sensible name! Mr. Pink-A-Licious is a horrible name! If you named him that, all of the other fish would laugh at him!"

"Whatever. That isn't what I'm mad about, anyway."

"Oh? What are you mad about this time, then?"

"I have a history exam tomorrow."

"So?"

"So, if I fail that exam, I fail completely!"

"Well, if you fail that class, you can find a way to get extra credit."

"That's the thing. If I fail another class, I fail entirely!"

"Another class?" Elphaba asked, shocked.

"I've already failed Algebra and Biology!"

"Oh, gosh." Elphaba said, bringing her hand to her forehead.

"Yeah. And I really don't want to fail!"

"Well, I have to pass a stupid dance course!"

"Too bad that you're great at history and suck at dancing and I'm great at dancing but suck at history."

"Yeah." The two then lapsed in a rather comfortable silence. Until Galinda had an idea.

"Wait. I suck at history, and you're great with history."

"Um, sure."

"And I'm great and dancing and you're... not."

"Yeah. Where are you going with this?"

"We're sort of the same height."

"I guess."

"And I know all about makeup."

"Okay."

"And you have a different body shape than me, but we could work out some sort of depth of illusion."

"Where is this going, Galinda?"

"Don't you know a spell that can change your voice to make you sound like anyone?"

"Um, yeah."

"Great!"

"What are you talking about?"

"I'll be you and you'll be me!"

Elphaba's eyes widened. "No! No way! We could get in huge trouble for that!"

"Not if nobody knows but us!"

"It's too risky. Besides, I could never act like you. I would embarrass myself! Or... you, in this case."

"Elphie, this is serious! Do you want to pass that course?

"Yes."

"And do you want me to pass that exam or not?"

"Of course I do."

"So, we have a solution to our problem."

"A solution that could get us in major trouble!"

"Why are you so opposed to my ideas?"

"Why are you so opposed to rules?"

"Elphie, there is no rule in the handbook that states 'You may not swap places with your bestest friend and/or impersonate them so that you can both pass a course that is impossible for you to pass yourself'!"

"Ugh! No! I said no."

"Please! Elphie, pretty please with a cherry on top!"

"No!"

"Fine. But when you fail that dance class and word gets around about how the amazing Elphaba Thropp failed a class for the first time, and it annoys you to your wits end, don't expect me to comfort you."

"You really aren't going to let this go, are you?"

"Nope."

"If I agree to this, you have to swear that nobody in Oz will ever know that this ever happened."

"Cross my heart."

"Fine."

"Yay! The exam is tomorrow."

"So is the big dance exam."

"Great! It's already getting late. We need to practice now."

"Practice?"

"Well, we can't just immediately know how to act like each other." Galinda said. She was already looking forward to seeing her bestest friend trying to act like her, and failing. "Now, show me your best impression of me." Galinda was looking forward to this, seeing Elphaba most likely embarrass herself. But, to her surprise, Elphaba walked and acted so much like herself, Galinda could have been easily convinced that the girl before her was actually herself in disguise. "Okay. You, obviously don't need practice."

"Thanks. Now, let's get you ready." And get ready, they did. They spent hours practicing. After that, Galinda rummaged through her makeup, setting out what she needed for the next day. Galinda also managed to find a spell to change their voices, which she would give to Elphaba the next day. And the girls went to bed, eagerly awaiting the next morning.


Galinda awoke the next morning very early. Deciding that it would take a while to pull this off, she raced over to her roommate's bed.

"Hmm?" Elphaba asked groggily as the blonde shook her furiously. "What? Why are you shaking me? What time is it?"

"Early.""

"Then let me sleep. I have that stupid dance exam today."

"No, you don't. I do."

"What?"

"I'm you today. Or, at least, I will be, after we do some makeup and wardrobe. And we can't do that with you sleeping."

"We're actually doing this?"

"Yep."

The green girl hesitated. "If I get in trouble for this, I am blaming you entirely." She mumbled as she pushed the sheets away and swung her legs over the edge of her bed, standing up.

"Alright, we'll start with makeup. Though I still don't see why we can't just use a spell."

"Glin, a spell would eventually run out. I don't have a spell that would last longer than a couple of minutes."

"Okay, whatever. We can do this." The blonde replied, pushing her friend into the chair in front of her vanity. "Let's start with the skin." She said as she grabbed a container of a powder of sorts and began to dab it onto Elphaba's cheek. She then added many creams and cover-ups of the same color until Elphaba looked almost sort of like her blonde roommate. She then proceeded to do the same on her neck, arms, and lower legs and feet. By the end, there was no green showing.

"Wow." Elphaba said, looking at herself as Galinda rummaged through her closet for something that would hide the most skin, in case of the makeup rubbing off.

"Here!" The blonde said, holding up a knee-length pink dress with a 3/4 sleeve and a few jewels on the front.

"I'm scared." Elphaba said, obviously not looking forward to wearing the dress.

"Don't be! Now put this on and we'll start getting me ready!" Elphaba did as she was instructed, changing in the bathroom. Once she had the dress on and put on the wig that Galinda had provided, though she had no clue where she had gotten it from, the green girl was amazed at how much she looked like the blonde. When she emerged from the bathroom, she found Galinda sitting at her vanity, already covered in green makeup and putting on her wig.

"This is really... weird." The green, but not green anymore, girl said when she noticed the striking similarities of Galinda and herself, once they were in makeup.

"Yep! Oh my Oz, Elphie! You look JUST like me!"

"Yeah. Now, let's get you an outfit. They decided on an outfit and Galinda quickly changed into it. When she emerged, the two only stared at each other.

"Oh my Oz. We look exactly like each other!" The blonde squealed.

Elphaba walked over to her bedside table and picked up the piece of paper with the spell that Galinda had given her on it. "But we don't sound like each other. Are you sure this is the right spell?"

"Yeah."

"How long does it last?"

"Until you use the counter spell."

"And where is that?"

"Over there." Galinda replied, pointing to her own bedside table.

"Okay great. Let's see about this spell." Elphaba said, reading the spell to herself silently. "Okay. Let's do this."

"This is going to be so ozmazifying!"

Elphaba smiled and then began the spell. "Mutare et nostras voces. Non quasi ex nobis sed inter se. Custodies hujuscemodi cultum carmine vivus donec oncurro annus remissionis advenerit. Multa fortitudeine contendat supra locum eaque."

The blonde, now in a black wig, looked up, afraid to say anything. "Did it work?" They both gasped. Yes, it had worked.

"It worked! I sound like you!" Elphaba exclaimed. "This is weird."

"Yeah." Galinda nodded. She looked at the clock. "Oh, Oz! We need to go! Classes start soon!" And the two grabbed each other's bags and raced off.
