Elphaba yawned in annoyance and weariness as she filed out from her dorm room and into the darkened hallway outside. Nearby, other dorm doors opened up and other girls slowly made their way outside as well. Some looked tired, some looked scared, some excited, some annoyed, and so on and so forth. They were all coming out because an alarm had just gone off. They were now waiting for further instruction about what to do. There did not seem to be an obvious danger, so they did not know what it was that they were facing.

While everyone waited around for someone to come along and explain, Elphaba eavesdropped on all the conversations happening around her section of the hallway. All she could hear were girls fretting over what was wrong and how ugly their bed-heads would be the next morning. They also fretted about how they were going to be too tired to go to class tomorrow and that the wakeup call was going to ruin their beauty sleep. Some of them were more concerned about the alarm, however, and they wondered if they were all about to die, or if something else crazy and overly dramatic was about to happen. Elphaba found it all terribly dull and unintelligent.

Irritated by the senseless, baseless chatter going on all around her, Elphaba tried to block it all out and looked the other way. The very last door on that side of the hallway finally swung open, its inhabitant the last to rise. Elphaba's jaw dropped at the sight of the girl who sauntered out. She was very beautiful. She was small and had very nice, smooth features. They were dainty, but not fragile. They were well-kept and petite. The most striking of all to Elphaba, however, was the fact that she was only wearing tiny, lacy, frilly, pink panties with an equally skimpy bra to match. Everything else was just her smooth, silky, creamy skin.

"Ugh. What's the wakeup call for?" she asked with a yawn as she emerged from her room.

"Umm. No idea. Probably a prank," Elphaba replied in a stutter as her green face got greener. She couldn't tear her eyes from the other girl's body.

"You're right, it's probably that trickster Fiyero," the blond yawned again. "Doesn't he know some of us need beauty rest? I mean, look at me!" she cried. Elphaba didn't need to be told twice.

"Uh-huh," she agreed lamely, unsure of what else to say, but still wanting to promise that blond that she was, indeed, looking.

"I'll have bags under my eyes!" the girl continued. "Not to mention what the stress of being woken up like that will do to my health!" she added.

It was funny, Elphaba noted as she listened to this new girl continue to complain, just a few minutes ago she had been silently cursing all the other girls on their floor for doing the very same thing, yet when this new girl did it, Elphaba found it... almost endearing, actually.

"-hope it's something worthwhile, like a fire!" she was still whining, and Elphaba was hardly even aware of it.

"Why a fire?" Elphaba replied, but softly enough that no one could actually hear the question. "You're the hottest thing that could ever happen to this school!" but it was after Elphaba whispered this little line that the blond began to stretch and flex, moving her body this way and that, almost seductively, as though she had heard Elphaba's little remark after all.

Elphaba could only stare. She tried to look nonchalant as she drank in every little detail of the other girl's body. Her creamy, flawless skin look silky and as she stretched. The girl also managed to prove to Elphaba that, on top of being curvy, cute, and downright gorgeous, but also nicely toned for one who looked so small and dainty. This girl's muscles weren't giant, but they were still visible, and nicely sculpted. Elphaba felt her cheeks get warmer as the girl kept stretching and revealing more skin. Elphaba was sure her face was nearly black by now...

"Alright girls! Go back to bed!" suddenly, from down the hall, a loud and rumbling voice shouted out a command. It was the fish-faced headmistress of their university: Madam Morrible.

"Go back to bed! This was all only a false alarm! Return to your dorms at once! No need to be alarmed!" she made her way down the hall, shooing the whispering and giggling girls back into their rooms.

"Good!" the girl muttered as Morrible made the announcement. "I'm off!" then she turned away from Elphaba and sauntered back to her dorm, hips swaying ever so slightly as she walked off. Elphaba briefly wondered if the girl was flirting with her, but she didn't have the nerve to ask.

Before she could keep thinking on it, however, the sound of an argument tore her thoughts away.

"What? It was just a joke! A fun little wakeup call!" somebody whined. Elphaba turned in time to see Morrible dragging Fiyero off by the ear.

"Well, Tigelaar, not a single one of us found it funny!" the headmistress boomed as she continued to drag Fiyero along. "And nor will you in due time!" she added with a rather ominous grin. For once, the arrogant Winkie Prince looked terrified.

"I guess that girl was right," Elphaba said to herself as Morrible and Fiyero vanished back down the hall. As she said this, however, mentioning that blond beauty once again, Elphaba felt that warm and fuzzy feeling return to her stomach. She quickly retreated back into her own little dorm again and tried to fall asleep as fast as she could. Her once-empty dreams were now dotted with pink.

AN: Musical-canon, AU. In this one, Elphaba and Galinda aren't roommate, but they are still floormates. In this version, Elphaba gets a single room because no one wants to room with her, and Galinda gets a single because she demands that she have a room all to herself. But everything else is pretty much the same.
