A Mess of Gigantuous Proportions
Disclaimer: No, I don't own Wicked yet, and my dream remains a dream. And on that happy note, here's the next chapter.
A/N: Please tell me if you think it's too repetitive, I really don't want that to happen.
If you looked around the dorm room, you could easily find the imaginary line the two roomies had decided would be the limit to how far the other's things could go. To the right, Elphie's side, is where you'd find the stacks of books that made the green girl legendary in the classroom. You wouldn't find much else, you'd see a monotonous, black bed that looked as if it could easily out-gloom a grave-yard; you'd see her uniform neatly hung on a hanger and ready for her the next day; and if you went in and searched around you'd probably come across a little green bottle.
On the left, Galinda's side, is where you'd go after you entered and had stared, alarmed at the lack of pleasurable possessions on Elphie's side. Galinda's side is where you will find one of the largest make-up bags on the school campus; her pink poof bed; her doll collection—which now only had 57 dolls thanks to a daunting facedown with a plate of leftover spaghetti—among other pretty trinkets that Galinda had somehow managed to keep in preferably good shape.
But none of this is what made Elphie gawk so. Right on the boundary line laid the largest stool sample Elphie had ever seen. Toto, obviously proud of his accomplishments, trotted over, tongue lolling in his jaws. He tried to come and lick her face, but he realized too late that her face was way to high to jump to. And he realized this just as he crashed into her torso, sending her falling back onto her pink roomie. Surprisingly enough, the pink roomie was soft, and cushioned Elphie's plunge. But this did nothing to curb Elphie's anger. She heaved herself off her roommate and pushed the dog back into the room, and kneeled down so he was looking in her eyes.
"Do you think this is funny?" Elphie asked the dog seriously. "Do you think that you did a good thing, going to the bathroom on our floor?! It was NOT! Very bad boy! I'm highly dissatisfied in you!" She pointed to the notorious pile of poop.
"Elphie, I couldn't help noticing you used the word 'dissatisfied.' I don't quite know what that means. And if I don't know it, how could you think a dog would know what it means?"
"I don't think it, I know this dog knows it. And I'm not surprised YOU don't."
"But-"
"No, Galinda, I don't want to hear it. Just please clean that pile of…just clean it up!" Elphie ordered exasperatedly.
"Me?! It's on your side!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!" Galinda screeched like a kindergartener. "I thought you said you could 'handle it.'"
"That was before I saw the pile of it just sitting there, and stinking up our entire dorm!"
After a few more rounds of pointless arguing, they decided to call upon the person who did all the things that were too horrible to do themselves.
"BOQ!" Elphie yelled.
"BIQ" Galinda yelled at the same time so you couldn't quite tell who said it wrong.
The munchkin seemed to have super Galinda detecting powers, because in an instant he was at their door. "You screamed my name right," he said dreamily.
"Yeah, if your name is Biq, she called it perfectly." Elphie criticized. Boq ignored her.
"What can I do for you Miss Galinda?" he asked, trying to ruffle his hair into something more appealing with one hand, while the other propped himself up against the doorway's frame.
"Clean that up. Please?" Galinda asked, face pleading, her perfect lips trembling.
Boq fell for the act. "Of course I will!" He said before he actually saw what he was going to clean. "Okay, where is this little mess?"
Galinda pointed to the spot. "Elphie was being stubborn as usual and she wouldn't clean it up. But I know you're not a big meanie like her." Galinda batted her eyelashes at him.
Boq gaped, but then his face took on a determined look, and he broadened his shoulders. "I'm going to need a plastic bag, a Swifer cleaner, a clothespin, and apple juice."
"Apple juice?" Galinda and Elphie asked at the same time.
"I'm thirsty." Boq admitted. And as the two girls rushed off to get him the things, he turned towards the dog. "Sit."
The dog growled at him.
"Never mind."

Elphie squinted at the spot where the pile of poop used to be. "I can't see anything! It's clean!" She gave a very un-Elphie like whoop.
"Biq! You saved me! How can I repay you?"
"How about a little kiss?" Boq said, glancing up at Galinda with a shy smile.
"I'm sorry, but you just cleaned up dog poo for an hour, do you think I should risk my beauty by touching you right now?"
"NO! Don't do it! Stay away!" Boq cried, starting to turn so he could run away, "Don't harm your beauty!" and then he raced away.
"You're good." Elphie commented from her bed, which she now sat on, reading.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Galinda said with a smile.
A/N: So what do you think? Should I continue?
