This idea hit me in a dream, and I thought I'd make a mini series out of it. Enjoy.
"Galinda, I want you to make love with me." Those were the words that broke the blonde from her reverie...oh, I suppose that wasn't the best place to begin this tale, now was it? Let's try this again...
A long time ago, in a land not so far away, there lie the great kingdom of Oz. Now, Oz was not like every other kingdom in the land for it was a peaceful place run by the Ozian royal family, who kept the chaos at bay. The family was well-loved across the land. The just King kept the order with fairness, the gentle Queen showed kindness and compassion to every person she met, the mighty Prince Fiyero protected the kingdom from invaders, and the fair Princess Galinda was thought of as the heart of the kingdom. But besides the Royal family, there were many other families that were quite high in the royal court. One of them being the Thropp family.
The Thropps were highly favored by the royal family, since Frexspar and Melena Thropp had been good friends of the King and Queen for a very long time. Sir Frexspar often visited his friend the King over the years, both for business formalities and for personal visits. Oftentimes, Frexspar would take his daughter with him. He knew that because of her peculiar skin condition, many people would not be willing to look past her appearance to see the beautiful and kind little girl who Elphaba truly was. Frexspar took her with him on many of his travels. He thought that since no one, besides their own family, would love her because of her odd green skin, then he would let her see the world and he would make her as happy as he could. He knew that what Elphaba really deserved, though, was a friend; somebody to love her no matter the color of her skin. Despite his doubts, taking her on his visits to the palace gave her exactly that.
Over the years, Elphaba and Princess Galinda grew to be the best of friends. The blonde seemed to be the only person who actually cared for the green girl. Well, besides her brothers, of course. Defying all odds, in the most recent years, the two girls found their feelings growing into something more...Princess Galinda and Elphaba Thropp had fallen completely and inexorably in love with each other. And that brings us back to how this-
"Mommy, I'm confoosed. Doesn't Mama have green skin too?" The little girl gasped. "Is there somebody else like her too?"
"No, smart one. Have you ever seen another green person in Oz?"
"Kristin, be nice to your sister. It's just a story." She looked down at the young little boy in her lap. "What's wrong, Liir? You look confused."
The little blonde looked up at his mother. "What is make loving?"
"'Make loving'? You mean 'love making'? Oh, that's-"
"Jesse, don't you tell him or it'll be stable duty for you again." She watched as the boy's eyes widened before her shut his gaping mouth. The woman looked down at the little blonde in her lap again. "I'll tell you when you're older, Liir. But for now, how about I finish reading the story?"
"Yeah! Yeah! Finish the story!" He clapped his hand excitedly, looking back down at the book held in front of him.
"Alright then." She kissed the top of his head before continuing.
Princess Galinda and Elphaba Thropp had fallen completely and inexorably in love with each other. And that brings us back to how this story began...
The blonde turned her head to look at the green woman, reaching over to gently tuck a piece of her raven hair behind her ear. She gave her a small smile. "I want nothing more than to do exactly that..."
Elphaba pushed herself up to lean on one arm, looking over at her. "Then why do you always stop me?"
"You know why, Elphie..." The princess rolled onto her back again, reaching up to pick a purple flower by her head and twirling it between her fingers. "I am of age to marry now."
"Exactly. You'll be married off to some man, and I'll lose you. All I wish is that you would give this to me before you leave me. I know I will never marry. No man wants a wife with green skin. I will die alone. But I will die happy if you give me this, because I know that no matter what man you marry, it will be me that you love. I will always have a part of you."
A tear slid down Galinda's face. "No matter how much I may wish to give it to you, I must save my maidenhood for my husband." She turned to take the green woman's hand, placing it over her own heart, as she looked at her. "I will always love you, Elphaba, but...if I make love with you, then I will be ruined. No man will ever want to marry me, and I...I..." she nearly choked on the words, "I will bring dishonor to my family...and to all of Oz."
The green woman's determination cracked cracked at the sight of tears flowing down her love's face. She quickly took Galinda into her arms, kissing the top of her head and stroking her back comfortingly. "It's okay, Glin. It's okay. I...I understand. I'll always love you, and I know you will always love me too..."
When she stopped crying, Galinda pulled away, giving her a small smile. "You will always have my first kiss, Elphie. No one can ever take that from you."
"That is true. I'll take whatever I can get." She leaned over to press her lips against the blonde's.
"Ew! They're kissing!" Liir stuck his tongue out in disgust.
"That's so yucky. I never wanna kiss anybody," Candle nodded in agreement.
Their mother chuckled. "I'm sure you'll change your mind when you're older. Just ask Larena. She used to think it was even more gross than you two...and look at her now." She watched the brunette curl into a ball to hide her heavy blush. "You know I'm just giving you a hard time Larena." The woman looked back at the two young children. "So shall we continue the story?"
