A/N: Hello all :). Well, I've decided to be eternally cheesy, since I can't find inspiration to write a story right about now, and short drabbles seem to be calling my name. So bienvenue to my version of the wicked100 -sigh-. These prompts were collected off of two different sites- about half of them are general musical prompts, the other half of them are general book prompts; however, they do seem as if they'll work for Wicked drabbles, so here we go.
041. Something Borrowed

Musicalverse
Glinda sat in front of her vanity mirror, applying costly makeup to her porcelain cheeks, paling her near-perfect complexion as one of her chambermaids arranged her hair into an elegant twist. She smiled at the young woman and said softly, "That'll be all for now, thank you, Nyanna." The girl bowed her head respectfully and fairly ran out of Glinda's rooms.
Glinda sighed, looking at her reflection. For all that this was her wedding day, she didn't feel overjoyed as she was sure she was supposed to. She elegantly slipped off of her stool, moving to her nightstand. "Something old," she mused, touching her mother's pearls at her neck. She rummaged around in one of the drawers for a moment before continuing with the proverb: "something new," she said, smiling slightly as she touched her stunning dress. She paused. What did she have that could count as "borrowed"? A small twinge of sorrow passed over her as her fingers passed over a glass bottle. She pulled it out warily.
She pocketed the emerald bottle. It wasn't quite borrowed, or blue, but it would more than suffice.
Update: To those of you who are new to Finale and are looking upon this drabble with much criticism, I'd greatly appreciate it if you read at least a few more before passing judgement. The earlier ones are quite horrible, I agree, but the later ones are much better .
Thanks a lot!
