It's such a beautiful day. Galinda observed, looking out the window of her dorm room. It was really starting to seem like spring. The sky was blue, the sun was out, and she could see a slight breeze blowing through the trees. It was Saturday afternoon and most of the students on campus were outside, but she and her roommate were inside and still in their pajamas. We shouldn't waste a beautiful day like this.
"Elphie!" Galinda screamed and bounced on to the opposite end of the bed Elphaba was sitting on. The green girl jumped and dropped the book she was reading.
"Don't startle me like that my sweet! Darn… I think I lost my page." She said picking up her book.
"Sorry" Galinda giggled. "I was just gonna say that we should do something today. It's lovely outside. How about...we go for a walk?"
"A walk sounds nice. Where to?"
Hmm...Oooh! I know the perfect place! We could have a picnic and everything! The blonde thought to herself as she smiled and clapped her hands.
"...Are you going to say it outloud?" The green girl looked at her with confusion.
"It's a surprise!" Galinda said as she kissed her girlfriend on the nose and sprang off the bed. "I have to go pick up a few things first! Get ready while I'm gone my love! And wear something pretty!" She said skipping to the door.
"Wait Galinda!" Elphaba called stopping her just as she was about to step out.
"What?"
"I understand you're not the most modest, but at least put on more than that."
The blonde looked down and realized she was still in her short, thin nightgown. "Oh thanks. I almost forgot." She said, making her way to her dresser. The green girl rolled her eyes and laughed.
Elphaba pretended to continue reading her book as she watched Galinda get dressed. She couldn't help but simper when she saw the profile of the blonde's breasts before she put on her bra. Her eyes glazed over the outline of her round hips as she slid on some fresh panties. Of course they were super lacy and matched her bra. Elphaba was never one for fancy undergarments. It's not like anyone would see them, except her girlfriend of course. She did sometimes try to wear her best pair if she knew any of their sexual advances would be taking place.
Galinda put on a peach sundress and stepped into some brown sandals. She picked up her purse and gave Elphaba a small smile before exiting. When she was gone, Elphaba got up to find something to wear. She put on a dark blue skirt, which stopped slightly past her knees and a black long sleeve shirt, buttoned all the way up.
About a half hour later Galinda was back with a slightly large bag of stuff. She eyed the green girl up and down examining her choice of clothing.
"Elphie, the skirt is nice, but that horrendible shirt has got to go. You look like you're going to a funeral of Oz sake!"
"What other shirt do you want me to wear?" Elphaba asked.
Galinda thought for a moment then made her way to Her dresser.
"Ooh I may have something you'll look nice in!" She said as she rummaged through her drawers.
"Uh, Galinda…" the green girl started.
"Yeah?" The blonde turned around.
"You do realise we aren't exactly the same…size, when it comes to shirts…" she said, hinting the fact that her chest is nearly flat compared to Galinda's.
The blonde stared at her girlfriend's breast area for a long while, causing her to blush.
"Hmmm" she turned back to her drawer and continued to fish through. She pulled out a light blue shirt with short sleeves.
"Here this will probably fit you differently than me around there. Try it on!" She handed the shirt to Elphie. The blue shirt fit her nicely and the v-neck exposed a fair amount of her chest.
"Perfect! It matches your skirt too! Now just one last thing…" the blonde made her way behind Elphaba and undid her braid. The long raven hair, slightly wavy from always being kept in a braid, went all the way the girls back.
"There." Galinda smiled as she draped some of the hair over the girl's shoulders. She took the green girl's hand and walked her to the mirror.
"Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you. You're beautiful." she said, with her arms around her waist as they looked in the mirror together. Elphaba smiled. Although she'll never understand what Galinda sees when she looks at her, it felt good knowing that somebody genuinely thought she was beautiful. That somebody made it an objective to reassure her of it everyday.
The two girls walked out of the dorms, holding hands with their fingers laced together.
The blonde was carrying her large bag over her other shoulder. Elphaba was curious as to what was inside, but Galinda wanted everything to be surprise.
Pfannee, Shenshen, and Milla were sitting on a nearby bench chatting and noticed the two girls walking together.
"Is that Galinda?" Milla asked.
"It is! Ew! What is she doing holding hands with the artichoke?!" Pfannee exclaimed. "Call her over here so we can talk some sense into her blonde brain!"
"Hey Galinda! Over here!" Shenshen called, signalling for her to come.
Elphaba glanced over at Galinda, who rolled her eyes.
"Ugh, what do they want?" She marched over to her 'friends', not bothering to remove her hand from Elphaba's.
"Galinda Upland have you lost your mind!? Why are you touching that thing?!" Pfannee shouted.
"Excuse me Miss Pfannee, but Elphaba has a name and I'd appreciate if you'd refer to her by it." Galinda said.
"I don't care, why are you holding its hand!?"
"I'm holding HER hand because she's my girlfriend." Galinda said proudly. Elphaba's eyes widened and her mouth dropped.
"GIRLFRIEND?!" Pfannee said in disgust. Milla and Shenshen looked utterly shocked.
"Soo...you're gay?" Shenshen asked. Galinda shrugged.
"Call it what you want. We're in love."
"You must be kidding!" Milla said. But Galinda shook her head, she stood on tip toes and pecked Elphaba's lips.
"Galinda! What the fuck!?" Shenshen said.
"Are you okay? That green FREAK must have you under some kind of spell!" Pfannee gave Elphaba a disgusting look and pushed her back. "Get away from her you monster!"
"Now you listen to me BITCH!" Galinda shouted. "Elphie is not a 'freak' or a 'monster'! Yes, I love her and I don't give a FUCK what you idiots think! If you guys can't show her or our relationship the slightest bit of respect, than you don't deserve my friendship! Goodbye."
Elphaba stood there the whole time, shocked, and not saying a word. Galinda took her hand stormed away from the three girls she couldn't believe she ever considered to be her friends.
No one has ever stood up for Elphaba before, especially not like that. She certainly never imagined Galinda cursing anyone out in her defense. She couldn't erase the small smile from her face because she was so proud of her.
"That...that was very brave of you, my sweet"
"Elphie, you know they deserved every word I said and more."
The green girl nodded in agreement.
"I wanted to slap her after she pushed you, but...I didn't wanna get suspended or anything."
"I understand, you did the right thing. Thank you."
"I just couldn't stand them disrespecting you that way, and I'm tired of keeping 'us' a secret. I don't care what anyone else thinks, I only care about you. I'll never let anyone mess with my Elphie like that again."
Elphaba kissed her on the cheek and smiled. "You're so good to me." she said as she squeezed her hand a little tighter.
