They arrived at the doctor's office for the third time that week. The three of them got out of the car, going through the same procedure as usual.
After being checked in, they went back into one of the rooms and waited.
"So how long do these things usually take?" Fiyero asked, picking up an children's book.
"Not too long." Galinda replied.
The doctor came in instead of a nurse. He kew what was going on, so he saved a nurse some time. 'So what seems to be the problem this time?" He asked, noticing Fiyero. "Who's this?"
"Oh! This is my ex boyfriend, Fiyero. He was at our dorm watching movies with us."
Boq and Fiyero nodded in agreement.
Galinda then responded to his first question. "I came in to get another x-ray. I found my magic book, and I tried to heal my ankle. I'm not sure if it worked, but I'm 90% positive it did!"
Once again, she was taken to the x-ray room. Boq and Fiyero sat in silence until she returned.
"I'm going to get your pictures." Dr. Powell stated. "Be right back!"
"Pictures?" Fiyero asked confused.
"You'll see..." Boq answered.
Dr. Powell returned with the x-rays and displayed them. "Well, Miss Galinda, you've really outdone yourself." He started. "It seems as if there was never a break at all."
Galinda smiled. "Maybe it's time Horrible Morrible put me in her seminar!" She laughed. "Like I could stand her for a day!"
They all laughed before Galinda was taken out to get her cast removed.
After that, they paid and left, returning to the dorm just in time for dinner. It seemed as if the day had slipped through their fingertips.
Elphaba was waiting on them when they got back. Galinda burst in through the door and jumped on her bed with excitement.
Boq came in with his nose feeling brand new. "Did your little spell heal my nose, too?"
Galinda stopped jumping and looked at him. "Did it?'
Fiyero came in and kissed Elphaba on the cheek and started to tell her about the doctor's office.
Since Galinda was finally able to cook dinner again, she did. This morning she was knocking pans over, and tonight she was as graceful as a swan.
Boq helped her, of course, while Fiyero and Elphaba were flirting it up. Galinda smiled at Boq and kissed him on the cheek as an act of kindness. "Thank you for all you've done, Boq. I don't think I could have survived without your help."
He blushed and continued to help. "I'm going to stay with Fiyero tonight. I thought that you would want to have some girl time with Elphaba."
Galinda still smiled. "Okay! I hope you have fun!"
"We will."
They all ate dinner and dessert until they were stuffed.
"Galinda, this food was amazing." Elphaba stated.
Fiyero nodded in agreement. "You can say that again!"
"Thank you!" Galinda replied. "I couldn't have done it without Boq's help, though."
Boq blushed once more. Elphaba noticed it, but kept quiet.
Boq and Fiyero left afterwards, and it was just Galinda and Elphaba in their own room. It was rather odd to the both of them, due to them both staying with a guy for the past few nights.
Galinda sat on her bed in silence and then laid down with her face in the pillow and cried.
"What's wrong?" Elphaba asked while sitting down on her bed.
"I THINK I'M IN LOVE!" Galinda screamed, though muffled through the pillow.
Elphaba already knew this much, but just went along. "What makes you think that, Glin?"
Galinda raised up with mascara all over her face. The pillow was stained with black and pink, and it didn't look like it would come out. "I can't stop thinking about Boq!" she continued to sob.
Elphaba smiled. "That's no reason to cry. You should feel like there's a million butterflies in your stomach."
"I do feel like that!" Galinda responded. "I just don't know how to say it!"
Elphaba cackled lightly. "You told Fiyero you liked him. How can this be any different?"
Galinda just shook her head. "Fiyero was someone who I had admired forever, and like most popular people do, I told him how I felt, because he's a prince. It's harder with Boq, because he's just always there, and if it ruins a friendship, then I don't want to take the chance."
"Oh." Elphaba said. "That is a good point."
"And what if he doesn't like me back? How would I handle the humility?" Galinda started to cry again.
"I've seen the way he looks at you, Galinda." Elphaba said, getting up to sit by her. "He blushed when you were giving him credit for dinner. He has helped you for almost the entire week." She hugged Galinda, something she rarely did. "He's liked you since we arrived to Shiz over a year ago!"
"Really?"
"Have you ever listened to him? He's head over heels for you!"
Galinda sighed with relief, though she wasn't really relieved. "So what should I do, Elphie?"
"Just tell him how you feel, Glin. He'll probably cry with happiness."
Galinda giggled. "You really think so?"
"I know so!" Elphaba replied. "Now let's get some sleep. You've got a day to remember tomorrow!"
Galinda smiled as she snuggled in the covers of her bed. "Nanite, Elphie!"
"Goodnight, Glin!" Elphaba replied, turning off the light and getting into bed.
Soon after, they were both fast asleep, dreaming in their own little worlds.
