Day 29: Cloud Gazing
"Elphie? Elphie? Oh, Elphie, Elphaba?" Galinda called, from her bed.
"What?" The green girl asked.
"I'm bored." Galinda replied, with a huff.
"Read your school books." Elphaba answered, as she pushed up her glasses.
"I'm not that bored." Galinda said, as she got up, walked up to the green girl, and began tugging on her shirt. "It's such a nice day. Let's go out and look at the clouds."
"Your head is in the clouds." Elphaba replied, as she looked up briefly from the book she was reading.
"Come on, Elphie, we shouldn't waste this beautiful day indoors. Please?" Galinda begged, as she petted the green girl's long raven locks. "Please, oh, please!"
Elphaba gave out a sigh, but put her book down and said, "Okay, let's go."
"Woo-hoo!" Galinda shouted, as she ran to get her shoes on.
Once out in an open field Galinda laid down on the soft grass and immediately pulled Elphaba down beside her and whispered, "I just love cloud gazing."
"I thought you loved shopping, makeup and pink." Elphaba replied, as she intertwined their fingers together.
"Well that's true, but you're forgetting another thing I love." Galinda answered, with a twinkle in her blue eyes.
"What?" Elphaba asked, in all seriousness.
"You!" Galinda nearly shouted, as she nuzzled the green hand against her face. Elphaba couldn't hide her smile as her stare lifted, so she could look up at the clouds.
"I can't believe I'm looking at clouds." Elphaba mumbled, but her voice wasn't annoyed.
"Elphie, you need to relax more. Gazing at clouds can make you do that. I mean, clouds are so peaceful." Galinda answered, with a blissful sigh.
"Clouds are peaceful?" Elphaba questioned. "What about when it's storming out?"
"Woo, I see a cat." Galinda replied, clearing avoiding the question the green girl just asked, as she pointed to a cloud.
"A cat?" Elphaba asked, as she looked where Galinda was pointing.
"Yes, a cat. Look you see, there is its ears and tail." Galinda said.
"How is that a cat? I think it looks more like a ship." Elphaba replied.
"A ship?" Galinda questioned, in shock. "That cloud looks nothing like a ship. Get glasses, Elphie."
"I am wearing glasses you twit." Elphaba replied, playfully.
"Don't call me a twit!" Galinda answered, back with a slap to the green girl's arm, before turning her attention to a second cloud, "Well what do you think that cloud looks like?"
"Um, a mermaid." Elphaba replied, with an innocent sigh.
"What was that?" Galinda asked, as one of her eyebrows rose.
"What was what?" Elphaba questioned.
"You sighed." Galinda answered plainly.
"So?" Elphaba retorted.
"It was a 'I dream about mermaids' sigh. Is there some mermaid that has her eyes on you or something?" Galinda asked, jokingly.
Elphaba could only cackle, in response for a few moments, before answering, "Galinda, my sweet, you must be insane if you think I would have an affair with a mermaid when I have you."
"Just asking." Galinda said, with a smile.
"Besides, if I did have an affair with a mermaid I wouldn't live to tell the tale. You know with their love for being in water and all." Elphaba added, as she took one of Galinda's hands into her own.
"I suppose you're right." Galinda said, as she pointed to another cloud. "What does that one look like to you?"
"Madam Morrible with a bad hair day." Elphaba answered.
"She always has a bad hair day though." Galinda replied, with a giggle.
"Well what do you see it as?" Elphaba asked.
"A octopus...with a wig on." Galinda answered, without faltering, before moving on to the next cloud. "What about that one? What does that cloud look like?"
"A cloud." Elphaba replied quickly.
"Elphie, be serious."
"All right, all right, it looks like, um..." It took Elphaba a few seconds before she replied, "A heart, it looks like a heart to me." As the green girl turned her head to get an answer from Galinda she was met by the blonde's lips. They kissed for several long moments before they parted.
After the kiss Galinda gave off a blissful sigh before asking, "What do you think that cloud next to it looks like?"
"Why see clouds when I can make you see stars." Elphaba said, with a purr.
"But we will have to wait for night time to see stars." Galinda answered, playfully, know exactly what the green girl meant.
"I'm not talking about those stars." Elphaba replied, as she laid a green hand on the blonde's thigh.
"I believe I have no idea what you are talking about." The blonde girl teased.
"Then let me show you." Elphaba answered, as she pulled Galinda close and kissed her with a great passion.
