The 17-year-old looked up the the buildings. It was simply beautiful. Her father rolled her wheelchair while her sister followed close behind.

"What? What are you looking at?"

Nessa looked over to find her older sister among some students.

"Do I have something in my teeth? Is my underskirt showing? Okay, lets get this over with! No, I'm not seasick I'm always this color!... And no I did not eat grass as a child!"

The students looked at her even more strangely, if that was possible. Nessa blushed with shame. She loved her older sister, of course. that was inevitable. When she tried, Elphaba was lovable.

"Elphaba!" Her father snapped

Elphaba ignored him and took her sisters hand, causing the wheelchair to roll near the students. Elphaba grinned

"This is my younger sister. As you can see she is a perfectly normal color!"

This was too horrible. Nessarose pulled her hand out of Elphaba's and almost teared up with embarrassment. Elphaba would pay for this later!

"Elphaba!" Her father snapped again "Stop making a spectacle of yourself! I sent you to this place for one reason..."

Elphaba's grin faded and she nodded like the obedient child he had always wanted her to be.

"I know" she said wheeling her younger sis back "To take care of Nessa"

Nessa had got accepted into college earlier. Both Thropp girls were very smart as they were homeschooled by their father. Despite that Nessarose had many friends back home while Elphaba.. well, didn't. Her color set her apart from most. Plus her allergy to water, she could never dive into the river on hot summer days with the other girls or play in the rain puddles. It was believed that water could melt her and even the drop of moisture made the contacted area turn red and blotchy, which stood out among the green! Elpahaba had to use special cremes and gels for bathing and hand sanitizes that her father made for her. She had about 2 suitcases just filled with it.

"A parting gift:" Said Nessa's father "For my little girl"

Nessa gasped. She was handed the most beautiful shoes she had ever seen in her life! She clutched them to her chest.

"They're beautiful!" she exclaimed

"They benefit the future governor of Munchkinland" He pinched her cheek and turned to Elphaba "Take care of Nessa, and don't take to much"

Nessa could see Elphaba's struggle not to roll her eyes. As her father left she could see Elphaba looking at the ground, a wave of jealousy and abandonment showed on her face. Nessarose frowned.

"Oh Elphaba...."

Elphaba looked up and shrugged "Well what could he get me? I clash with everything"

It was times like these when Nessa felt sorry for her big sister. The headmistress came up to the podium to make a speech, Elphaba seated herself on Nessarose's lap. She did this without asking but Nessa was so use to it she didn't even care. She rested her head on Elphaba's shoulder. Occasionally tickling her stomach in hopes of getting a reaction from Elphaba. She could shriek with the best of them. But Elphaba did not laugh or shriek for the tiniest fear of embarrassment. She simply slapped Nessa's hands.

"You must be the governors daughter.. Miss Nessarose? What a tragically beautiful face you have!"

Elphaba stood up as Madam Morrible looked at her.

"And you must be...."

"Elphaba, the beautifully tragic one" Her grin returning. Nessarose snorted at her sister's sarcasm.

"Yes, well. I guess your bright...."

"Bright!" Nessarose heard a whisper "She's florescent!"

Nessa looked over at who said that. The girl was beautiful. She has curly blonde hair and a white suit, followed by a handsome munchkin boy and a pretty redhead. She was complaining about not having a room yet. Her followers pouted when she said she said her room was a private suite and then praised her when she said they could visit her anytime they wanted.

Elphaba stood there just tapping her foot as the blond girl spoke. Growing more impatient by the second. Finally, she got a chance to speak up.

"Madam, we have not recieved our room assignment"

"Oh, the governor has expressed his concern for your sister's well-being. So I decided it would be best if she stayed in the suite next to mine. She I can assist her with her needs"

Nessa and Elphaba looked at each other for a second. She could see a little bit of panic forming in her older sister's face.

"I've always taken care of Nessa!" She exclaimed

"Your father didn't even mention you.." Madam sighed "Well, we will find a place to put you Miss Elphaba!"

"Madam!" Nessa heard the blonde girl exclaim again

"Oh thank you dear! How good of you!"

"What?" The blonde girl was confused

"Isn't that wonderful students?" Madam replied "This young lady has her own sweet and she has offered to share it! Miss Galinda and Miss Elphaba. Let me show you to your room!"

Madam began to take Nessarose's wheelchair and roll it towards her new room.

"Let her go!" Elphaba cried and to Nessa's horror, the wheelchair began to roll itself back to Elphaba.

Madam looked at Elphaba on shock "How did you do that?"

Galinda turned to the redhead "How did she do that?"

This was all to horrible for Nessarose. Tears of shame welled up in her eyes as she faced her older sister "Elphaba! You promised things would be different here!"

"You mean this has happened before?"

Elphaba went white, well as white as green could go. Nessa had never seen her shake so much in her life.

"Well. I, um.. sometimes I lose control... sorry"

"Never apologize for talent!" The madam smiled "I shall tutor you in socery myself. And take no other students!"

She shooed the rest away including Nessa. Who went off and made friends with Galinda and the red head. Who called herself Pfanee. They complimented each other on their hair; Galinda loved her pink headband! Nessa, though, could not help feeling worried about her older sis...
