Hi Everybody! Thankyou so much to all the amazified people who reviewed!
So… Here's chapter three, and we're FINALLY getting a look into G(a)linda's mind!
Hope you enjoy, and hey- at least it's longer than the last one. (which apparently was shorter than the Author's Note)
Disclaimer: the characters: not mine. The settings: not mine. Many of the events: based on something that's not mine. So I guess you could say that all I own is my twisted brain and of course this story.
Bye now!

Chapter 3: Is That A Vegetable?
Galinda
I walked down the hallway, trying to remember which compartment I had left Pfanee and Shenshen in when I went to the… uh, bathroom. I was just passing through the third carriage from the rear when I saw something to make my eyes water and my sides ache with stifled giggles- in one compartment there was a girl in a wheelchair talking to a girl with skin as green as a vegetable! She was really, truly and actually green!
I sprinted down the hallway, suddenly remembering which compartment I had been in- just one compartment down from the green girl. I wrenched open the door and barely managed to gasp out "you… have… got… to… see… this!" and they stumbled out the door and stood, gawping, at the green girl and her companion.
The girl in the chair looked up just then, and tugged lightly on the green girl's sleeve. Lettuce Girl looked up, and yes, they must be sisters- they had the same eye shape, the same build (skinny as a rake and close to entirely flat-chested), and even- DAMN! I hated to admit it, even to myself, but despite the, well- green; she had the exact same face as the girl in the chair; pretty, just… green. Although, now I looked closer, the girl in the wheelchair must have been a bit younger, she just looked… less mature than the green thing. Like she was less… well; green would be the obvious thing, but really she looked less… sure of herself, somehow. Like she couldn't quite be sure if she was dreaming or awake. Hah, she was probably a Muggle-born, not yet sure if Hogwarts and Oz were real. How quaint, the innocence of the ignorant. And how typical; playing helpless and clueless, no doubt hoping some gorgeous boy (or girl) would come and explain anything- and everything- she wanted to know about magic and Oz.
At that moment, Lettuce Girl stuck out her tongue (not green, just the perfectly normal colour), and when we didn't go away, rolled her eyes and flipped us the bird.
Shenshen nudged me in the ribs and Pfanee gave me a pointed look, indicating to me that they were thinking exactly what I was- we'd better leave.
We stumbled, giggling, back to our compartment and slammed the door closed behind us.
"Did… you… see... her… skin!" Shenshen gasped, her whole body heaving with unrestrained mirth.
"How… can... she… show… her… face?" Pfanee squealed, leaning on the doorframe to keep from collapsing on the floor from laughing.
Somehow, I felt sorry for the poor green thing. But not enough to stop me from laughing at those less fortunate than me… like her!
Review? Please, for me?
… I'll give you a cupcake… :D
