POC2: A look into some earlier moments in the show, the moment Elphaba and Glinda (sorry, Galinda) became friends, from Elphaba's point of view.

E: She wasn't my first friend.

POC2: Teachers and Nannies don't count.

E: …Okay, fine. She was.


I can't believe I actually came to this ridiculous party!

I think the stares are worse than usual….

The Hat! They're staring at the hat!

I thought Galinda had become nice, but…

I won't cry. I won't let her see that she made me cry.

What-

Is she mocking me?!

But the stares stopped. She helped me!

No words pass between us while we dance, but none are needed.

She wants to apologize, to start over, and I accept.

She calls over Fiyero, and I think the words I've been longing for seemingly forever:

I've just made my first friend.


Next: What was Galinda thinking?
