"Venti gefier venti tur.."

'CRASH, BANG, BOOM!'

"Glinda watch out…shit!"

And that was the last thing Glinda Upland remembered before total black out.

"Glinda…Glinda…come on sweetheart wake up."

The first thing Glinda noticed when she began to stir was the constant 'pounding', that was going on in her head. She attempted to open her eyes but the outside world was nothing but a big blur.

"Ugh", the pain only increased as she tried to sit up to get a better view of her surroundings, but the pain only increased.

"No, no, don't get up that will just make it worse", said a eerie familiar voice. 'Well thank you captain obvious," the blond scolded the voice. With a few more blinks Glinda's surroundings started to come into focus, and the first thing she saw was an extremely worried green face staring down at her.

"Elphaba ? wha-what happened?" she managed to choke out.

Elphaba let out a sigh, "I think I added too much pigs blood to that last potion," she began with a look of disappointment aimed at herself for such a careless act. "Any way, you walked in at just the wrong moment when all hell broke loose with the explotion, and hit your head pretty hard."

' well that definitely would explain the jackhammers going off inside my head.'

Glinda slowly attempted to sit up now that she had a few moments to gather herself. Elphaba gently grabbed her arm to help scoot Glinda up against the wall for better support. Surprisingly Glinda pulled her arm away from the green women's grip.

"Glinda, are you sure you are ok?" Elphaba asked her concerned eyes never leaving Glindas'.

"First of all Miss Elphaba it's 'Guh-linda', not Glinda, for oz sakes, first Dr. Dillimond, then you!" The blond spat with no attempt to hide the annoyance of the mispronunciation of her name.

'Guh-linda?' the green women thought, 'She hates that name, I haven't called her that in ages, this cannot be a good sign.'

"Elphaba where exactly are we?" Glinda asked as she looked at the room around her.

There really wasn't much the room, there was two book cases on the side of the room, one filled with thousands of books, ranging in all shapes and sizes. The other shelf contained vials of some sort, which had different colors of liquid in each one. In the middle of the room stood a smoldering, black cauldron of some kind, and a huge, ratty, old book nestled safely on its stand.

When the blue eyes finally met the green face once again she noticed total and utter confusion in her features.

"Uh, Glin…I mean Galinda, you are at home, we are sitting in the tower."

"Home? Let me tell you something Elphaba, this might be YOUR home, but this is certainly not my home." She muttered with utter distaste. "My home is so much less…dusty." The blond muttered as she swiped her finger across the floor leaving behind a clean trail in the dust.

Elphaba continued to stare at the women in front of her. She had a hunch that the bump on Glindas' head caused more damage than meets the eye.

"Um, Galinda, um, where do you think you are?"

"Well the last time I checked I was on campus, at Shiz University."

'Ah crap, not good'

"At Shiz?...so that would make you…18?"

It was the blonds' turn to look at Elphaba like she was the ones with the problems.

"Um, try 19, geeze."

' 19! Damn I don't even remember ever being that young' Elphaba though to herself. 'Ok, focus Elphabe, first lets get her downstairs and call the doctor.'

"Alright Glinda, letes get you downstairs and have the doctor check that bump on your head." The green girl said as she went to go help her off the floor, however once in a standing position the blond immediately ripped her arm from Elphaba once again.

"For the last freakin time, it is GA-LINDA, and I can certainly make it down the stairs by myself thank you very much." She said with such conviction in her voice that the green women had to smile, despite the circumstances. "Plus,' Glinda added as she made her way towards the door, "What would people say if they saw you and me touching?!" she physically shuddered at the thought, and made her way down the stairs.

Elphaba however, was so caught off guard by the remark, that she simply stood there like someone had slapped her across the face. 'Did that really just happen?'

To the green witch it seemed Glindas' memory was shot, that her mind was whisked back to the time before she became who she was in the present, before their friendship, before their adventure with the Wizard, before her death, before her return…before Glinda had a chance to really live the life she wanted. It seemed to Elphaba Thropp that the Glinda Elphaba new was lost somewhere, and she only prayed that she wouldn't be lost for too long.

Ok so what do you think?? Please criticize it as mush as you want, I'm new at this and could use all the help I can get!! Just be gentle!! lol
