Elphaba walked into her dorm to find Galinda where she always is. In front of her mirror.

"You do know that the mirror is not a third lung. Step away anytime you want, you'll survive," Elphaba teased and set her books down on her desk.

"Elphie there you are! Where have you been?" Galinda asked as she combed her hair out.

"Oh, um, Nessa had asked me to stay with her to help her study," Elphaba said and felt the blood rush to her cheeks. She hated the idea of lying to her only friend.

"That was kind of you. I found something to wear to my date tonight! It's that light pink dress on my bed right there," Galinda said and pointed to a dress on her bed sheet.

"Lovely," Elphaba said, uninterested and sat down on her bed.

There was a knock at the door and the room mates heard an all too familiar voice.

"Miss. Galinda, it's me Boq. Open up, please?"

Elphaba laughed and Galinda glared at her. She covered her mouth with her hand and continued to laugh.

"Bick, I am not decent," called Galinda through the door. This, however, did not send the Munckinlander away.

"I can wait for you Miss Galinda."

Galinda rolled her eyes and opened the door and smiled falsely.

"Good evening, Bick, what can I do for you?" Galinda mused.

"Actually, I was wondering, if maybe you would like to accompany Nessarose and I to the café later on today?" Boq asked and smiled at Galinda.

"Oh Bick, that's so kind of you, but I'm sorry I can't. Fiyero and I are going out for dinner tonight. Please do take Nessarose, though," Galinda said lightly, ignoring Boq's comment about saying his name correctly and closed the door.

"Isn't he a pest?" Galinda whispered to herself. Elphaba looked at the door.

"That was very rude, Galinda," Elphaba whispered back and cracked open a book.

Galinda sighed.

"He's going to get the false impression that I enjoy his company if I say yes to those sorts of things," Galinda said and put on a dark shade of lipstick.

"He's getting a false impression that you fancy him anyway," Elphaba said dryly.

Galinda gasped.

"Fiyero will be here in less than an hour and I'm only half ready!" Galinda screeched and ran into the bathroom with her new dress. Elphaba rolled her eyes. She suddenly heard a tap at the window and she walked over to find Fiyero throwing stones at it. She opened the window and poked her head out.

"What are you doing here?" She asked as she looked down upon him

"I'm here to see you, beautiful," was Fiyero's response. His words were slurred and Elphaba realized he had been drinking.

"You're drunk," she stated and he giggled.

"I'm coming up," he called. Elphaba left the window to unlock the door but Fiyero called her again.

"Not through the door!" He yelled and began to climb up the building.

"Fiyero, don't do that!' Elphaba scolded but he was almost up. Elphaba grabbed his shirt and pulled him up with difficulty.

"You idiot!" She said.

"Who are you talking to, Elphie?" Galinda called from the bathroom.

"Myself," Elphaba called after her. The doorknob of the bathroom started to jiggle and Elphaba grabbed Fiyero and shoved him under the bed.

"Alright, I've decided to meet Fiyero in his dorm room. Have a nice evening. Try not to study all night and get some sleep," Galinda advised and shut the door behind her.

Fiyero wrapped his arms around Elphaba from behind and pulled her close.

"You're such an imbecile. Galinda is on her way to see you, and you're here," Elphaba scolded but smiled anyway.

"I don't want to go have dinner with her. Can I stay here?" Fiyero pleaded and rested his head on the back of Elphaba's neck and rocked her slowly back and forth.

"No you may not. You have to go have dinner with Galinda, then break it off with her," Elphaba said and turned to face Fiyero, who was frowning.

"Off you go! And don't come back until you gently break up with Galinda, apologize for breaking up with her, and then get some sleep," she snapped as she shoved Fiyero out the door and closed it gently after smiling sweetly at him.

Fiyero rubbed the back of his head as he walked to his dorm to meet Galinda. When he got there he saw she had camped herself outside his door. She wrapped her arms around his neck and planted a kiss on his lips. Fiyero squirmed free after a while then grabbed her hands.
"Galinda... Uh, I think we should see other people. It's just, I've found someone else, and I don't think I can date both of you," Fiyero said gently, even though he was still trying to figure out which of the six different Galinda's to look at. He decided to look at the middle one. She didn't look happy; neither did the other, half-transparent Galinda's.

"Alright, I suppose I'll go back to my dorm now. Have a nice night Fiyero," she said and walked off.

Fiyero blinked. It was over, and he was free to be with Elphaba Thropp. The girl he truly loved.
