Restless

Elphaba couldn't sleep. She paced up and down her dorm room, reciting anything and everything she could think of under her breath in an effort to bore herself. She'd just run out of things to remember when Glinda suddenly sat up.

"Glinda?"

The blonde girl started, then relaxed a little.

"Nightmare," she mumbled, and rolled over. The building creaked, and Glinda shot upright again with ah small shriek.

"It's alright, my sweet," Elphaba murmured, going over to Glinda.

She held the frightened girl close, and eventually Glinda fell asleep.

Elphaba still couldn't sleep. But she didn't really mind any more.
