Glinda wasn't sure what to do, in three days time she was to get in a carriage and leave her job remodeling the main lecture hall at Shiz University to spend a month and a half with her family for the entire holiday season. Sure the designs were done, the scaffolding in place, and the foundation laid out but that was just a scratch in the surface. "No! It was not a scratch in the surface any kind of imperfection to what we have so far will be disastrous!" she muttered to herself. She had only graduated a year and a half ago; she was expected to be married by now not running her own business. Mila and Shenshen were married already and were living up in Gillikin for the remainder of the year. "Not only will my family expect me to have someone on my arm but they will too!" She exclaimed as quietly as she could.
She was currently pacing back and forth around the office given to her by the new Dean of students, an Ox by the name of Gerard, and worrying about all that was to be done without her supervision. When she returned the exterior walls should be in place with interior scaffolding. That wasn't hard right? There was nothing she should worry about, right? But what if the windows were installed upside down or backwards? The students could enter from the outside! Or worse be trapped inside! What if they put the soundproof drywall on the outside? Would that make a difference? "Oz be damned Glinda!" she said to herself. "You hired these people because they're competent workers not squalling children! They aren't going to turn into toddlers because you leave them alone for a little while! Right? Of course right!" This last bit she said a little louder than anticipated and to her right hand (Pfannee) standing outside the door it sounded like a squeak of distress and she quickly rapped her knuckles on the door in concern.
"Glinda?" she called. "Are you alright in there? Are you still worried about us? You know I can handle this right? It's just a small bit more than a month!" Glinda did not respond at first. She hadn't thought about Pfannee; she would be in charge while Glinda was gone. She trusted her enough to start a construction company with her; why should she worry about a small absence with Pfannee in charge? "Galinda?" Pfannee called again. As she reached for the door handle Glinda barged out and wrapped her arms around Pfannee's shoulders. "Thank you!" she cried. "The company will be in good hands with you here! Now-" she exclaimed holding a shocked Pfannee at arms' length. "I only have one thing to worry about when I'm gone!" Pfannee nodded understandingly, then shook her head enthusiastically, "What else have you got to worry about? Mila and Shenshen don't care what it is you're doing with you're life they're too busy gossiping with each other; unless you talk to them more than I do?"
"I don't but you know my family; they think I've got a boyfriend! What am I supposed to do about that?" she exclaimed gently shaking her. "Tell the truth; you're single and devoted to your work." Pfannee said plainly. "No!" Glinda exclaimed, dramatically turning away from Pfannee with one hand remaining on her shoulder. "I need a boyfriend- not necessarily a real one- but I need him before I leave!" Pfannee sighed at Glinda's short sighted solution but resolved to help her anyway. She took out her phone and handed it to Glinda. "Here," she said. "See this app?" she pointed to one that at first glance was the Ozian banner, a gold O with a z inside on a green backing. Upon closer inspection Glinda saw that the O was actually a heart. She took her phone out of her pocket and opened the app store. "What is it and where do I get it?" she asked frantically scrolling through the pages. Pfannee sighed again. "Stop that it's not in the store! We have to connect our phones together so it will copy itself onto your phone. You have to make a three brief statement on what it is you are looking for and it will give you options to chose from. You can get everything from a walk in a park to a one night stand. I'm sure your situation will have a million people ready for a month and a half of free meals. Now lets go in your office and get you set up okay?"
