AN: Still lovable but weird? Haha already on chapter 4... Wow. This is like one of my favorite chapters because of the dialogue. Hope you enjoy :) :3
Elphaba'sGirl: Hi! Thanks for the follow I was surprised cuz you say in your profile how you're against any different pairings involving Elphaba so I felt special. Then I felt more special when I saw you had copied that 'All I Want' thingy from my profile! I was like :3:3:3:3
Oh and Maddy- there's a line in here for you. ;)
Chapter 4~ Cat fight
The first thing Elphaba left Boq was run down to The Orient Express. She pushed in the 'pull' door, realized her mistake then have the metal handle a tug. The glass foot opened towards her, clearly showing a line of at least twenty people. Curse the lunch rush.
"Splendid." She muttered sarcastically under her breath. Elphaba looked around the crowd to prove her speculation on the fact that every single person, or Animal, was trying to get to the front register. Much to her dismay.
But then she spotted a shimmer of bright pink and found hope.
She didn't overly mind that the pink was accompanied by a sparky blue and a glowing yellow, she wasn't there for herself after all. The more she kept thinking of Boq's black eye the easier the situation became to her.
Galinda, Pfannee and ShenShen were only third in line, thank Oz.
"Hey, Glin." Elphaba let out a breath and casually stood next to her friend.
"Oh hey Elphie! What are you doing here?" Galinda cheerfully greeted her. Oh you know just eating pie. Elphaba thought sarcastically.
"I'm just grabbing something real quick…" She trailed off. "Do you mind if I cut with you?" The green girl questioned as innocently as she could.
"Of course Elphie, what are besties for?" Her high pitched voice told her. "This girls don't mind, right girls?" She spoke for the two prissy ladies standing next to Galinda, examine their talons... or nails.
"Cutting is like a big no-no." Pfannee stated as if it were an interrogative sentence.
Elphaba secretly wiggled her eyes behind her eyelids. And she wonders why she fails every assignment.
"Oh Pif!" Galinda chided almost playfully. "Elphie means well, she's just getting herself a tea-"
"And a coffee." Elphaba interjected. Galinda gawked at her with a look of shock horror. "Elphie, you loathe coffee." She reminded her.
"It's not for me." The green one clarified. "It's for…a friend."
"Who?" Of course Elphaba was friends with the noisiest person on campus.
"Boq." She hastily responded then quickly turned to the vacant spot in front of the counter. "Can I get a-"
"I KNEW IT!" Galinda exploded. Elphaba cringed. If customers outside the shop thought that was loud, imagine what Elphaba thought of it.
"Galinda, please." She tried to calm her down as patiently as possible.
"Are you two on a date? Ooh, I'd it a picnic? A walk in the park? Or maybe-"
Elphaba cut her off. "He defended me, got a black eye and is- dare I say it- almost as stubborn as me. Now he's alone in his dorm with his joker roommate and I decided to be nice." Elphaba huffed and turned to the cashier once more.
"May I please have-"
And once more Elphaba's order was interrupted by Galinda. Instead of shouting she sang a chorus of Awww's.
"He got a black eye for you." She gushed. "Glin." Was Elphaba warning growl. Apparently Galinda, oblivious as ever, thought it best to serenade Elphaba with a song.
"Boq and Elphie sittin' in a tree-"
"Glin." Strike two was much more fierce. Galinda found her life too valuable and reduced to humming the rest.
"Hm-Hm-Hm-Hm-Hm-Hm-Hm."
Elphaba rolled her eyes, not discreetly this time. She finally had the opportunity to order one small, plain tea and one small, black coffee without any vocal outbursts from Galinda.
As Elphaba was stalking out of the shop, two drinks in hand, she heard them.
"Greenie and Shortie? Talk about made for each other."
Pfannee.
"Yeah," An obnoxious giggle. "The two misfits."
ShenShen.
"They're probably dating each other out of pity. You know, because no one else would take 'em."
The Vally girls broke into fits of annoying laughter. Elphaba would not have this. She was not going to ignore it this time. No, this wasn't just about her anymore, this involved Boq. She lowered the paper cups on the table closest to the door, slowly. She then spun around and prepared herself to fight two more people that day.
Approaching the ditzes, she pushed her glasses closer go her nose and shook her arms out. If Boq did it for her she could do it for Boq… again.
The girls giggled on while cradling their clear plastic cups with matching dome lids and foot long straws. The containers were filled with ice and a mocha colored liquid filled in the cracks. The lids held in swirls of sipped cream and drizzled down chocolate sauce.
Perfect. Elphaba mischievously thought.
She marched over to them, edict muted their F key dolphin noises. Elphaba then snatched the cups out of their manicured hands and tilted the drinks upside down over their heads. Resulting in all the occupants of the container spilling out on their overly expensive salon blowouts.
The girl's squeaks and murder threats were very rewarding, it took all of Elphaba's strength not to smile smugly.
"Let this be a lesson." The clean one warned. "Don't call Boq Shortie, a misfit, or assume he has a date out if pity." She explained before dropping the cups and walking away.
If she was quicker she could've avoided Pfannee's faux nail coming in contact with her face.
I feel like I italicized too much. Oh well.
Reviews make my day :)
