A Well Known Stranger

Chapter1:

Galinda yawned sleepily. She peered up from her sheets to see Elphaba in the wooden chair reading a book, tracing her finger peacefully along the page. Galinda smiled softly to herself as she spied the green girl. Galinda silently slipped out of bed and tiptoed behind Elphaba and before she could say one word, Elphaba grinned.

"Don't you even try it."

Galinda pouted "Aww, Elphaba, couldn't you at least humour me and let me try to surprise you?"

Elphaba laughed as she turned the page, "Yes but it's so much more fun for me this way."

Galinda sighed as she put her arms around Elphaba from behind. "You're really, really mean. I think I'm going to have to do something about that."

Elphaba looked up, her head pressing onto Galinda's breast, "What are you plotting in the head of yours Miss Upland?"

Galinda gave a cheeky smile and gently kissed Elphaba, "All sorts of things Miss Thropp."

Elphaba woke up the next morning with her arms around her beloved girl and smiled. She and Galinda were always like that. They had their own little relationship. During the day they might as well have been strangers, but at night, at times they were alone, they could be lovers.

Scandalous as it was, it was also fun and they loved to play along, though no one knew, it merely added to the fun.

Galinda looked up, "Who are you smiling at?"

Elphaba smiled, "No one I know."

Galinda smiled, "Oh how mature. We both know I'm irresistible."

Elphaba laughed, "Really, well that makes one of us, who's the second, if I may be so bold to ask?"

Galinda raised her eyebrows, "You really are cruel. Well don't worry, I love you anyway, I've learnt to live with it."

Elphaba laughed and kissed Galinda's collarbone, "Now who's being cruel. Well don't worry; I've grown to learn to live with it too, besides my love for you always helps."

Galinda laughed, "Really?"

She looked up at the girl, "Really, now come, school is next, we should go, or we'll be late."

Galinda sighed, "I do wish you wouldn't remind me of the real world, but yes we should go."
