Elphaba glared hard at Galinda.

"What?" Galinda snapped

"Of all the times for you to be yourself..."Elphaba muttered

"So-rry, but Boq told me Fiyero carried you out of the class crying and I was worried!"

Elphaba blushed, wondering if everyone knew the artichoke was weak.

"So, spill! What happened?"

"Well...he called me beautiful...we kissed...then he gave me this." she held up her hand.

"Oh Elphie it's beautiful!" Galinda squealed in such a high pitch it was hard for Elphaba to not cover her ears.

Elphaba pushed up her glasses.' I can't believe I am going to ask this' she thought before saying "Glin could you take me shopping?"

The blonde girl's blue eyes widened then she squealed "Alright... I know the perfect place"

She dragged Elphaba to the largest clothing store on campus,and immediately picked out a pink dress.

"Oh no." Elphaba said as soon as she saw it.

"C'mon Elphie pink looks good with green." Galinda pouted

Galinda continued pouting until Elphaba said

"Fine, but I won't like it."

She went into the dressing room and changed into the dress..

It came to her knees, there were no straps, and it was backless. It was very sparkly but it didn't cover her as much as she preferred.

Elphaba self-consciously stepped out.

"Oh, Elphie you look...breathtaking...wait!" Galinda took a pink rose from the storekeeper and put it in Elphaba's hair.

"Look!" Galinda said turning Elphaba toward the mirrors.

Elphaba gasped

The girl in the mirror was beautiful. Her emerald skin was practically glowing... her brown eyes looked happy...was it really Elphaba the resident vegetable of Shiz University? Yes! Fiyero was right! She was Beautiful!

Then Elphaba did something that shocked both herself and Galinda:She giggled

Suddenly who should be walking to the shop?

Fiyero!

"Galinda now what?" Elphaba said in a panic
