Hey, guys! Starting tomorrow evening, I will be going on what I call "Vacation Mode". I'm not just taking a break from fanfiction. I'm going on vacation and won't be back for a week. I've decided to update each of my stories with a shorter-than-usual chapter so that you don't have to wait extremely long. Okay, bye!

"Ooh! Let's go here first!" Galinda exclaimed, poninting to a shop. They were at a small shopping mall a few minutes away from Shiz. Elphaba groaned when she looked up and saw the name of the store that they were about to enter.

"Really, Galinda? The 'Think Pink Boutique'?" She complained. "You've got to admit that's a ridiculous name."

"Oh, Elphie, stop complaining. This is going to be fun!"

"Galinda, just the name of the shop screams 'girly girl'!"

"Oh, Elphie! Stop being so silly! Signs don't scream." The blonde laughed.

"You actually though I meant that literally." The green girl muttered under her breath as Galinda lead her into the shop. The blonde excitedly dragged her friend over to a rack of bright pink jackets.

"Ooh! These are perfect for you!" She squealed.

"Glin, those are so bright, they practically burn my eyes." Elphaba protested. It was true, though. The green girl had to look away because the pink was making her eyes hurt. "Besides, I don't need or want pink clothes."

"Okay, fine." The blonde said, scanning the shop. "Ooh, over here!" She grabbed her friend's hand pulled her across the shop to a display of reading glasses in an entire spectrum of different shades of pink. "These could work! And they aren't too bright. You can get a lighter shade, like this one!" She pointed to one of the pairs that was a soft and delicate shade of pink. "This one is elephant pink!"

"Elephant pink?" Elphaba questioned. "Where did that name even come from?"

"It was named by the great Chetta Produtchins."

"Whatever. If I get these, can we leave this shop?"

"Yep!"

"Alright then." The green girl took the glasses and they walked up to the counter and purchased them. "Now let's go." She said when they stepped out of the shop and into the busy mall hallway.

"Okay." The blonde replied and took Elphaba's hand, leading her away from the little shop.

"Where are you going? The exit's the other way." Elphaba said, impatiently trying to break free of the blonde's grasp.

"I know." Galinda replied calmly, still walking in the opposite direction of the mall exit.

"But you said that we would leave if I got the glasses." Elphaba said. "And I did!" She pulled out the pink glasses to show Galinda.

"No, you asked if we would leave the shop." She put the emphasis on the word shop. "And, as you can see, there are a whole lot of shops left in this mall." She swung her arm out to point out how many shops there were in the mall.

"Galinda!" Elphaba whined.

"Okay, no more pink clothes. But can we at least get some pink accessories? Those count, too."

"Fine." The green girl sighed, her shoulders slumping.

"Great!" Galinda lead Elphaba to another small little shop. The sign read "Candy's" in a shimmery pink.

"At least the name isn't as nauseating as the last one." Elphaba said as she was dragged into the store. She was pulled all around the store by the blonde, though she refused every item the blonde suggested.

"Pink pearl earrings?" Galinda suggested.

"No."

"Pink pearl necklace?"

"No."

"Pink pearl bracelet?"

"No."

"Pink pearl headband?"

"Will you stop with the pink pearl stuff? Please?"

"Okay." The blonde said, setting down the pink pearl hair clip that she was about to suggest. "Ooh! How about these sparkly hair ties?"

"Fine."

"And this sparkly headband."

"Fine."

"And this pretty nail polish."

"Ugh. Fine."

"Ooh! Pink lipstick!"

"You know what? Just get whatever."

"Okay! Pink lip gloss? Yes! Pink eyeshadow? Yes! Pink blush? Yes! Pink lip liner? Yes! Ooh! Pink eyeliner? Totally!"

"Are you almost done?" Elphaba asked. She was beginning to grow annoyed with Galinda's non-stop musing.

"Yep!" Elphaba sighed in relief when she heard Galinda say that. The next sentence, though, just made her more irritated than she had been before. "With makeup!" Elphaba groaned and leaned against a rack of hair accessories. "Ooh! Good idea, Elphie! Hair accessories!"

"Ugh!" The green girl groaned again.

"Just look at these hair extensions! Gorgeous! We'll get one in each available shade!" The blonde grabbed a dozen hair extensions off of the rack. "And these beads are exquisite! We'll get one in each shade, as well." She pulled six packs of hair decorating beads off of the rack. She looked over and saw the pure misery on her friend's face. "Alright. We'll take this stuff and go." She said, walking over to the checkout counter.

"Thanks, Glin. I know that you're just trying to help me and I'm not being ver cooperative. From now on, I'll let you do whatever you want to make me popular." Elphaba said when they reached the dorm once again. The blonde smiled and held up the fake pink highlights that she had purchased at Candy's. "Whatever you want, but not that." Elphaba protested.

"Elphie!" The blonde pouted.

"Fine." The green girl said, giving in before things got ugly.

"Yay!" Galinda said, happily helping Elphaba put in the fake pink highight. She turned and grabbed a hand-held mirror off of her dresser, handing it to her friend who looked at her reflection closely. "Why, Miss Elphaba. You're beautiful."

"Thanks, Glin." Elphaba said, smiling at her roommate.

The blonde smiled before rushing to her closet and coming back with a box of pink clothes and accessories. "Now I have to show you one of the ways that us popular people have fun." Before Elphaba could protest, she and Galinda found themselves in a fashion show where they posed in front of Galinda's mirror in multiple over-the-top pink fashions. "Did you have fun?" Galinda asked when they were back in their normal clothes and all of Galinda's dress-up clothes were put back.

"Eh, I guess." Elphaba replied. She would never tell Galinda that she had just had the time of her life.

I hope you enjoyed it! I know that there was no guide this chapter, but not every chapter will have one. This fic may be shorter or longer than I originally planned. As I said, I'm going on "Vacation Mode" tomorrow evening because I will be finishing packing, preparing, and going to bed early. Sorry if I don't get around to responding to reviews or PMs. I will as soon as I get back. Thanks! See you next update!

KendallKnightMania, did you get my little reference/inside joke?
