Envy

Universe: Canon musicalverse; Lurlinemas at Shiz

Main Character: pre-witch Elphaba, Galinda

"Finished!" a perky blonde exclaimed, tossing her buttery curls in emphasis. Her full, cherry lips smiled as she stared fondly at her own festive reflection in the large, gold-plaited mirror hanging carefully over the bathroom sink. She rubbed a dainty, manicured hand along the soft velvet skirt of her latest acquisition, the must have Lurlinemas gown featured in December's Osmopolitan. It was a striking, striped number in alternating strips of red and cream, decorated with tiny tuffs of white cotton along the trim. Winking seductively at herself in the mirror, she turned on her candy red heels and flounced lightly along the shiny, tiled floor.

"Well Elphie, what do you think?" she asked breathlessly, striking a very confident pose in the wooden doorway. The rhythmic crunch of an apple continued from across the room, as the green girl purposefully ignored her roommate. She was rather enthralled with her novel at the moment; perhaps if she ignored the blonde, Galinda would get the point and walk away?

"Elphie!" Galinda shrieked loudly, her voice wild and shrill. Elphaba jumped in both irritation and surprise. This girl's relentless, she thought miserably.

"Truthfully?" Elphaba finally said from the bleaker side of the bedroom. "You look like a candy cane. Now, may I return to my reading?"

"You know," Galinda scoffed, wiggling angrily in her place, "I think you're just jealous!" Pouting slightly, she spun on the ball of her foot and clicked away.

"Oh yes," came the sarcastic reply, "one might go as far to say as I'm green with envy."
