The next morning Dorothy was awoken by Elphaba who had brought her a tray with eggs and bacon (Elphaba made sure all the meat she ate was animal not Animal) and a jug of milk.
"good morning my dear, I take it you slept well?" asked elphaba calmly as she set the tray and jug on the desk as Dorothy sat up.
"I slept quite well miss Elphaba thanks for asking and for bringing me breakfast." said the farm girl in her sweet voice.
"It was no trouble my dear." Said Elphaba as she sat down on the bed and began to run her fingers through Dorothy's hair.
"Why are you running your fingers through my hair?" asked the farm girl actually starting to enjoy having Elphaba do it.
"I don't have a hair brush my dear and since there is only one mirror in the whole castle and that's in the west parapet, well let's just say it's better for someone to do it for you." Said Elphaba continuing to run her fingers through Dorothy's hair.
When Elphaba was done Dorothy's hair looked a bit less like it had when she had woken up so Dorothy got up and then went to eat her breakfast yet began to weep.
"whats wrong my dear why are you crying?" asked Elphaba slowly walking over to Dorothy and putting her hand on her shoulder.
"I…I…it's just that you are treating me like the mother I never had since my parents died at sea." Said Dorothy finishing off her meal ,standing up, and wiping away her tears.
"I'm so sorry my dear I didn't know about your parents but I'm flattered that you think I'm like a mother, mine died after she gave birth to my sister." Said Elphaba in a sweet tone of voice.
And with that they both left the room and went down stairs to the study.
" Now let's see if we can think of a way to get these slippers off my feet." said Dorothy sitting down and putting her feet on a footstool.
Elphaba looked at the shoes then knelt down and grabbed one of Dorothy's feet and then examined it, her feet were petite and she was wearing light socks but that didn't give any hints to why the slippers were stuck.
"I don't see what the problem is but they are stuck and I mean stuck tight." Said Elphaba, pondering on what to do to get them off the girl.
"well I can't think of anything either right now besides either cutting them off or cutting my feet off." Said the farm girl.
"we aren't going to take either of those ideas into consideration my dear." Said Elphaba trying to gently slide the shoes off Dorothy's feet without success, then letting it go.
"but I really want to give you back these shoes Miss Elphaba." Said Dorothy as she tried to pry them off her feet again with no success
"why don't you go wander around the castle my dear I have something to take care of." Said Elphaba and with that they both left the study.
That afternoon Dorothy was sitting in the courtyard when Elphaba found her.
"come with my my dear Dorothy I have something to show you." Said Elphaba in her sweet voice.
Dorothy, being curious followed Elphba, "where are you taking me?" asked Dorothy following elphaba.
" to your room I made you something." Said Elphaba
When they got to Dorothy's room Dorothy saw that on her bed was a beautiful white nightgown that looked brand new.
" it's so beautiful and it's just about my size, did you sew it yourself miss Elphaba?" asked Dorothy in a kind loving voice.
"yes I did Dorothy dear so that you wouldn't have to sleep in that same dress every night ill have Chistery wash it later, and Dorothy just call me elphaba from now on please."s said elphaba as Dorothy nodded.
" I love it Elphaba thank you." Said Dorothy happily smiling walking over to the nightgown and picking it up.
"you're welcome my dear, well try it on Dorothy." Elphaba said as the girl took off her dress and slipped on the nightgown.
"it fits perfectly I love it Elphaba." Said Dorothy sitting on the bed as Elphaba came and sat next to her.
"you're welcome my dear, you know I think I just came up with a solution to get those shoes off of your feet." Said Elphaba running her fingers through Dorothy's hair once more.
"Really what is it? Tell me." Asked Dorothy smiling ,her face lighting up like the morning sun.
" we could call Glinda she's an old friend of mine maybe she can help us with those shoes." Said Elphaba smiling.
And with that Dorothy changed back into her dress and then Elphaba when to write a letter to glinda.
