AN: Heya guys! So here is a new story! It's MULTICHAPTER because hey who doesn't want to see Elphaba's metamorphosis and experience of being a fellow feline! XD this idea randomly popped into my head and I believed it would make a really sweet fluffy story. Elphie may have hissing habits as a cat however that is to be expected although whose to say Elphaba purring and snuggling in cat form wouldn't be cute either?menjoy the first chapter! (:

"So..." Master Larenx started as he paced slowly around the room, eyeing the blonde's work as he went past. He snapped his head around and begun to pace in the other direction. The blonde frowned in response.

" students... from what I have gathered there are mixed results within this class. Now some of you have made compromise with your studies. It is rather evident. You take care of it and leave it in good manners it will payback nicely." He walked passed me again be to feel her body become overwhelmed with a sense of urgency. Whether it be to do with the urgency of having the idea to indulge into greater detail with her work and nurture it as suggested or quite the opposite: flee the room and groan at its mockery of her. Master Larenx knew what Galinda was thinking however found it unnecessary to stop his philosophy yet.

"What I am saying students is that you may look coldly at your work and it may scowl back. However its friendly feelings and mine are concealed at heart. If you preserve in doing well, these feelings will ere long appear so much the more evidently for the temporary suppression." He clicked his fingers and nodded.

"You do the work, the less you have to worry. What you put in, you get out. Understood?" The class nodded in response with a few mumbles scattered throughout the room amongst the students.

"Well then. Rant over, today we are going to test the potions we prepared earlier this week. Remember these are potions that endorse metamorphosis. We are to turn an object into a spirit or into another object of some description. To test this hypothesis I suggest you all begin now!"

They all begun swiftly. Each peer collecting supplies needed to distill the potion back into a pure substrate that leads to the metamorphosis reaction.

Galinda began fumbling with the clamp stand and tightening the jaws around the condenser. She eyed her roomate from afar. A slim, robust figure standing amongst the less vibrant peers with her rigid stance as per usual. Was it ever like Elphaba to just unfocus on any task at hand? Just for a spilt second? From what she was observing it was utterly inevitable. Elphaba watched her oblivious roommate who was now fiddling around with the glass ware. She glided over before the blonde perpetuated something rather heedless. Seeing it her duty in doing so she took the glass apparatus from her roommate's pale hand and smiled; whether it be mockery Galinda was not sure, perhaps genuine? If she knew Elphaba the emerald woman rather it would not show a kind nature.

"It would be much like you to do be condemned with such impetuosity Miss Galinda, am I right?" Elphaba said calmly and with such coolness that Galinda felt the sudden tinge of irritation leave her that very clock tick. Her voice had that effect on her and that indeed irritated her so. Those forest green lips pursed themselves again, her eyes never leaving the apparatus as she placed it all together.

"If you are waiting for me to snap with some rejoinder I can assure you that is not the case. I believe you are mistaken miss Elphie...ENTIRELY" she couldn't help but smirk at the blonde's response and scolded herself as she let out a rather feminine kind of sound at that.

"You could have fooled me." She muttered just audible enough for Galinda to acknowledge who huffed.

"I'm not fooling anyone."

"I say otherwise"

"well I do not!"

"Your perception is indeed invalid in this circumstance. Try again if you please."

"And if I do not please?"

"Well that is juvenile behaviour on your part." Glinda grunted in exasperation.

"You are hopeless."

"I was not aware I had disappointed you that much. Perhaps you should not have appeared with such hope in the first place."

"Just hush!" The emerald woman looked at her beneath her glasses as she begun the distillation for the potion she had set up. It was obvious to her that she had pushed the blonde a little too far and she obeyed much to her dislike. She decided to let her off lightly. Knowing Elphaba as she did, she knew a spared silence was the closest that Elphaba was to showing any sign of obeying and an expression of an apology. After a mutual silence the Munchkinlander spoke.

"Right now we just wait as our product is distilled off," she said through a sigh and tapped her fingers in a consecutive rhythm; her arms either side of the table as she observed. Galinda nodded in response and watched her ever intriguing roommate. She always found herself having to alter her gaze due to the ever so scandalous initiation of taking a gander at her roommate. Elphaba was so exotic.

'If I were ever regarded to suffice in Elphaba's mind I can only imagine the things I would allow her to do to me, with those practical hands of hers. How in the earth of Oz did this infatuation occur?" The blonde moaned gently at her musings, baffled by these feelings she had recently been battling. Elphaba had noticed her silence once again and looked up to see Galinda blushing as she had been caught.

"I am quite under the suspicion that you have been taking a few clock ticks to gander at me. Of which I must say I do not appreciate Miss Galinda." Immediately, Galinda snapped out of her gaze and defended herself.

"I was merely taking glances at the distillation."

"And watching me."

"Well yes! Of course. Incase the potion production goes wrong." Elphaba smirked, suppressing a cackle at Galinda's response.

"Calm it blondie. It is nice to keep you on your toes now and again," Elphaba spoke in a low voice. Galinda knew that was Elphaba's way of saying that she was only teasing. 'Perhaps she likes it?' The descending's next reply answered that for her.

"my so called exotic skin as you call it, I would say is less appealing than my hair don't you think?"

"Indeed," Galinda agreed, "...it is exquisite."

"Thank you. Although I believe yours I am much more appreciative of." Oh Galinda was becoming besotted with this conversation. Elphaba was faintly flirting and she knew it. The emerald woman's eyes never left hers. A warm ember like effect brewed in her eyes, forming a whole new sense of comfortability. It was apparent to Galinda that her roommate was opening her doors to her everlasting passageways of mannerisms that were yet to be discovered. Galinda felt...well...invited and she loved it. She also endeared the sudden flash of teeth that Elphaba showed as a brilliant smile sprouted across her lips. Only for her to see. She gave one in return.

As they collected their distilled liquid of potion, Pfanee's group sniggered at them. Shenshen rolled her eyes at the other girls in the group who all joined in and Milla chirped-

"Why on earth would Galinda volunteer to work with something so ghastly?" The girls looked to Pfanee for an answer. Her lips turned up as she spoke her opinion.

"My dear friends our beloved socialite is just using her for our benefit. Whoever else than the delectable Galinda to persuade her as a teammate. Elphaba is bound to get every coursework mark accurate and therefore Galinda can tally to us all the right answers. Quite tactful you see."

"Oh that is a good theory indeed," Milla said, a smirk creeping on her face.

"It's a good way to get exceptional marks." Pfanee said as she clicked her fingers and placed the distilled potion on the table. "Come in closer girlies." They all leaned in to each other to hear what the Gilikinese noble had to say. She picked the potion up in her hand and displayed it to them.

" you see this?...this is the potion that will create the metamorphosis of a human into feline."

Sweet Oz they all murmured.

" but I thought we were going to do what was ordered and for us to acknowledge?" One replied in intrigue. Pfanee shook her head rather in reassurance than annoyance.

"No...we are going to steal Elphaba's notes that are on her table and use them as ours but first we are going to metamorph her into a feline, get it?" They all gasped and giggled at the plan. Galinda felt quite unsure when she heard them laughing. The worst was yet to come...

Elphaba collected the distilled sample and placed it into a beaker.

"That's it blondie, our sample of potion has been conjured," she paused "and with impeccable practical skills I must add." Knowing she was going to get some rejoinder back she cut in.

"That being a complimentary expression of my work Miss Elphaba?" she tossed her hair spun of gold.

The raven haired girl took a swift look at the blonde before beginning to take apart the apparatus and blowed out a sarcastic huffed. Oh she expected that entirely.

"I almost must admit your work was very much appreciated, you did pretty well blondie."

Well Galinda was not expecting that to say the least. She swallowed at the sudden swirl she felt in her chest. Her heart felt like it was emitting sun beams as that is what it felt like with the warmth that begun to radiate from it. Coming from someone as diligent and studious as Elphaba meant a lot to her. She had much admiration.

"You are sincerely welcome Miss Elphaba," she winked.

Pfanee quickly rushed off to find Elphaba's satchel on the first shelf in the cloakroom, just outside the potion's class. She looked in disapproval as she saw the satchel was adjacent to the one made of fine couture that was only lead to be Galinda's. Looking both left and right she took the bottle of juice out of Elphaba's satchel and poured the rest of the colourless, potion solution into the bottle. Giving it an adequate shake she sauntered back into the room. The girls gawked at her in intrigue.

Milla spoke eagerly.

"Well!?"

"Tis done girlies. Soon Elphaba is to be the witch's cat than generally herself...'the witch' that is." They all laughed, chuckles that were yet to be in Elphaba's despair.

Xx

"Right you lot, set your samples in the tray and then get lost. Enjoy the rest of your day." Everyone scuttled off at that and the socialites rushed off without Galinda who had no utter care about what they were up to next accept Shenshen came up to her in her surprise.

"Galinda I guess we shall see you later, the peach and kidneys, tonight,unless you haven't got any plans now?" Pfanee perked up at the name she heard Shenshen voice and swiftly paced back.

"Oh please do bring Elphaba indeed!"

"Why don't you ask Elphaba herself. I believe she is speaking to you right now." Elphaba said nonchalantly.

"Enough with your sarky wit Thropp."

"That was not my intention at all" Pfanee laughed.

"Just come along... if you can," she smirked to herself and Shenshen looked pleadingly at Galinda.

"Oh please do come along now Galinda?" The blonde looked at Elphaba as if for approval. Elphaba simply shrugged.

" I'm not your personal chaperone Galinda, I will see you later tonight. I have matters to attend to myself." The Frottican knew that was Elphaba's ambiguous way of saying 'yes indeed I am implying I will come with you amongst company'.

"I will see you later then Elphaba." The raven beauty merely nodded as she pushed the glass frames up the bridge of her nose.

Xxx

Elphaba locked the door to her and Galinda's dorm room before neatly stacking her books back on their shelves. After doing so Elphaba went to pick up her bottle of drink. Taking an adequate swig she sat down and that's when the metamorphosis began.
