Amongst piles of papers and heaps of tattered books, a lanky green girl was scheming on her chair, putting the finishing touches on her grand plan whilst also racing to finish her never ending pile of homework. It must be perfect. Everything must be perfect. I have to prove to Father that I deserve to be here. But, she added as an afterthought, can't a green girl have fun too? However, it mustn't be traced back to me; if it was, I'd be in deep trouble. Thank goodness I have a particularly good alibi. It helped to have a teacher who also thought that Miss Galinda need a good slapping, and it was a double bonus that that particular teacher was the librarian, in whose library it was known that Elphaba liked to often spend her time.
She had endured Galinda and her gang's merciless taunts for the past two weeks. Even for a gang, they were unusually spiteful. Elphaba supposed that it was because their ringleader, the one and only Little Miss Perfect, seemed to have a personal vendetta against her. Well, even if she didn't now, she would soon...
The final straw had been when Galinda came up to her at lunch, in front of the whole school and said very loudly that she wanted to make amends for the horrible way that she had been treated. And to show how sorry she was, she had spent loads of time in the archives and had actually tracked down a long lost relative of Elphaba's. Galinda had then reached deep into her bag (pink and sparkly) and pulled out a box with a bow on top (which was pink too) and handed it to her. Elphaba opened the box and suddenly out jumped a large, albeit disgruntled, toad. As it made a bid for freedom, Galinda squealed "See? I've found your mommy for you!"
Elphaba had stalked off, leaving an entire canteen of raucous laughter. Even some of the faculty and the lunch ladies were quietly sniggering. Galinda of course was thrilled to be the centre of attention.

Of course, little did they know that they had given Elphaba a perfect idea for her revenge. The supplies were all lined up under the bed, ready for action. Her prank was in two parts, the first part was simple, but the second was very tricky and required a very complicated bit of magic, but Elphaba was certain that it would work. Elphaba clapped her hands in glee. This was going to be brilliant. And the best part was, she was going to witness it.

Please r&r. I really like criticism- don't be mean, but I appreciate if you could say; I didn't like this..., That was not phrased quite right... etc.

Also- I promise that there will be no deaths or serious injury; just a lot of humiliation and laughter (I hope)

I will not post every day; once a week average is what I'm aiming for. Us little fairies behind the laptop have outside lives too unfortunately.

And finally: Every prank in this war actually happened (or something like it) to me or was played by me. Lat year my housemates and I had an all out, every-man-for-himself prank war.
