"Galinda?" Elphaba said softly as she fully entered the room. The blonde looked up. Her eyes were red and puffy. She had been crying for a while.

"Oh my sweet." Elphie rushed over to her, held her for a moment then felt her forehead. Judging by the text message she received she thought her girlfriend was actually sick.

"No fever. Is something hurting you my dear? What's the matter?"

"Chloey..." The blonde managed to sniffle out.

"Did she upset you again my sweet?" Elphie asked. Galinda tried to find her voice but it just came out as more cries.

"Take your time my precious. I'm here and I love you." Elphaba rubbed her back soothingly. She didn't know what happened but apparently Chloey had somehow done something to upset her girlfriend. Just knowing that information made Elphaba want to do bad things to Chloey. Doesn't she realize how sensitive Galinda is?

When Galinda's crying calmed down, the green girl went to get some tissues from the bathroom. She sat down beside the blonde and wiped the tears off her face then placed a soft kiss on her cheek.

"Are you ready to talk about it my love?"

After a few more sniffles Galinda nodded.

"Now what happened with Chloey my precious?" Elphie asked gently.

"She knows about us now."

"You told her already?" Elphaba asked a little surprised.

"She kind of already had an idea about it. I just told her it was true. She doesn't respond well and we had a bit of a fight. "

Galinda explained everything that happened when she talked to Chloey to Elphaba.

"...I don't think we're friends anymore." Galinda started to cry again.

"Oh my sweet, I'm so sorry it didn't go well. It wasn't nice how she responded and I understand how hurt you are." Elphaba said and held Galinda tight.

"I just can't believe it happened that way. She was so angry and upset and didn't even care that she was hurting me."

"I'm so sorry my sweet. Just give it time, eventually you two might be able to talk things out. But if she still feels the same, then don't worry about it. That just means she's not worth it. Nobody should treat you like that." Elphaba said.

"You're right Elphie. I really want to talk things out, but if she doesn't come around then I don't need her. I have you. You're the love of my life and my bestest friend ever. I'll always have you."

"Of course you will my sweet girl." Elphie said and ran her thumb over the blonde's cheek and kissed it.

"And this." Galinda kissed Elphaba's lips.

"That's right. I love you Galinda." Elphaba kissed her again.

"I love you too Elphie." Galinda kissed her once more. They embraced each other for a while until Galinda's stomach growled loudly.

"Is somebody hungry?" Elphie chuckled and gave Galinda tummy a tickle.

"Kinda" the blonde giggled. "Sorry I made us miss dinner." She said sheepishly.

"Oh Galinda, you know I care about you more than food." Elphie said and gave her kiss. "Although I'm not sure you can say the same for me." She chuckled.

"Elphie!" Galinda said, about to protest when her tummy growled again. "Okay maybe not right now. I'm very hungry." She laughed.

"The cafeteria is still open. I'll go get us some dinner. You stay here. Wash your pretty face, then put on some comfortable clothes and we'll spend the rest of the evening relaxing together."

"Yes ma'am" Galinda giggled then blushed when her stomach growled again.

"I better go get us something to eat before whatever's in there comes out and eats us first." Elphaba laughed and kissed a giggling Galinda once more before leaving.

"Mmm smells good! What did you get us?" Galinda said when Elphie came back on the room. The blonde was now clad in pink pajama capris and a purple tank top with her curly blonde locks up in a messy bun.

"Spaghetti, with extra meatballs for you my sweet." Elphaba said as she sat the trays down.

"Ooh yummy!" The blonde squealed. Elphaba looked at Galinda for a moment. Oz she's so cute. Galinda was so beautiful and literally always looked amazing. Elphaba loved getting to see her this way. With her hair lazily tied back and no make up on she still looked more stunning than ever. I'm so lucky I get to call this beautiful girl my girlfriend. She thought.

"Oz to Elphie!" Galinda giggled trying to get her attention. "Are you okay sweetheart?" She asked and Elphaba snapped out of her thoughts.

"I'm sorry Galinda, I just- you're just so pretty- sometimes I just..." Elphaba stammered but was cut off with a kiss.

"I understand my love, I feel the same about you." She said. "Now let's eat I'm starving! Oh wait what's under there?" She asked, pointing to the tray that was covered.

"I got a surprise for dessert." Elphie smiled.

"Ooh yay!" The blonde bubbled. She pulled up another chair for Elphie and they ate together at Galinda's desk since there was more space and they had nice light hearted conversation.

"Galinda..." Elphie said when the blonde's fingers tried to crawl up her skirt.

"Sorry I thought you wouldn't notice."

"You didn't think I would feel you?" Elphaba said, playfully batting her fingers away.

"I tried be be discrete."

"Well you did not succeed."

"May I try again later?" The blonde asked with a mischievous smile.

"We'll see." Elphaba grinned.

"Oz these spaghetti noodles are so long" Galinda took a long noodle in her mouth, letting it hang down past her chin. Elphaba was in an unusually playful mood, she really wanted to take Galinda's mind off of what happened earlier. With a smirk she leaned down and took the other end of Galinda's spaghetti noodle in her mouth. The blonde laughed and they sucked in he noodle at the same time until their lips met.

"I liked that." Galinda giggled. Elphaba smiled and put a noodle on her own mouth to allow Galinda to do what she just did. They repeated this process several more times with lots of chuckles, laughs, and kisses until they were both done eating.

"Time for dessert?" Galinda grinned.

"Time for dessert. Shall we take this over to the bed?" Elphaba asked.

"Elphie! I meant the desert you brought from the cafeteria but if that's the kind you want then I'm all for it." Galinda laughed. Elphie looked confused at first then her eyes widened.

"No, no I meant we could take our desert to the bed and eat it there." Elphie blushed.

"I know, I know. But don't forget you promised hanky panky later." The blonde winked.

Galinda got comfortable on her bed and Elphaba brought over two plates of key lime pie with extra whipped cream.

"Ooh thats looks so good Elphie, thank you!" The blonde picked up her fork and dug right in.

"You're welcome my sweet." Elphie smiled and started eating hers as well. After a few minutes of light chatter, Galinda was still in a playful mood. She took some whipped cream on her finger and poked Elphie's nose.

"Galin-"

Before Elphaba could respond, the blonde leaned over and licked the cream off of her nose. She grinned and the green girl smirked. Using her finger, Elphaba put some whipped cream on Galinda cheek and licked it off with her tongue. Galinda tried again, this time on Elphie's lips.

"Ooh I have an idea." The blonde said after licking the whipped cream off of her girlfriends lips. She spread some more cream on Elphaba's green tinted lips, then put some on her own and kissed Elphaba.

"Whipped cream kisses!" She giggled.

"This is a mess." Elohim chuckled as they licked cream off of each other. After a few more strange ideas from Galinda, they finished the rest of their dessert individually.

When they were done they set their dishes aside to take down stairs tomorrow. They went to the bathroom the clean up their sticky faces, then Elphie put on some pajamas so they could snuggle comfortably.

After about two hours of hanky panky, they slowed things down with some soft kisses and caresses. They knew it was school night, so they had to act accordingly. They eventually ended up just holding each other and talking about whatever came .

"Elphie, I noticed something." Galinda said.

"What did you notice?"

"You don't have a nickname for me. You just call me 'Galinda'"

"There are a lot of things I call you other than Galinda. My sweet, my precious, my love..." Elphaba said.

"I know, I love it when you call me those things. But those are just endearing terms. I meant like an actual nickname, you know like how I call you Elphie instead of Elphaba." Galinda explained.

"Oh I see."

"I know people don't usually ask for nicknames, but can I have one?"

"Sure, if you want." Elphie chuckled.

"Yay! What is it?"

"Um... I don't know. How about you come up with it? You know I'm no good at these things." Elphaba said

"I want you to Elphie. That's what will make it special. Just think of a cute way to modify my name."

"Can you at least give me some ideas?" Elphaba asked.

"Hmm, well I do have one idea." Galinda smirked.

"What's that?"

"Well, sometimes when we're making love you get so caught up in the sensations that you mispronounce my name. You say 'Glinda' with a silent Ga."

"I never noticed I did that." Elphie said blushing deeply. "So you want your nickname to be Glinda?"

"Nah, that doesn't sound nicknamey enough."

"Nicknamey?" Elohim chuckled.

"Just keep thinking Elphie."

"Um, how about...Glin?"

"I don't like how that sounds."

"Oz, you're picky." Elphaba chuckled. "What about Linda?"

"Hmm, I think I like that. Any other ideas I can chose from?"

"I don't know, um...Glinnie or Lindie?" Elphaba asked.

"Oh my Oz! Lindie! I like that it's so cute!" Galinda bubbled.

"Alright, Lindie it is." Elphie smiled.

"Elphie and Lindie...it kinda rhymes. Don't you think?"

"Well not exactly, but I like the way they sound together."

"Me too." Galinda smiled then yawned.

"Its getting late Lindie and we have classes tomorrow. I suggest we get some sleep."

"Good idea." The blonde yawned again. "But can I have an extra special, extra long goodnight kiss please?" She asked innocently.

"Of course you can, I planned on giving you one anyway." Elphaba smiled.

Tuesday went by pretty well. The girls were able to have breakfast together, then went their separate ways until lunch. Galinda and Chloey were both avoiding each other. Galinda wanted to talk to her but at the same time wasn't ready too. Feana and Nara were concerned. They didn't know the details of what happened between them because all Chloey would tell them is that she and Galinda had a fight and she didn't want to talk about it.

Nara and Feana were always with Chloey so Galinda hung out with another girl who she had several classed with, named Unah. She was a nice girl and they got along surprisingly well. Galinda had a nice enjoyable lunch with Elphaba, then walked her love back to class. She didn't even miss Chloey that is much. At the end of the day, once all their homework was complete, she was thoroughly kissed and snuggling in Elphie's arms. That's all she needed to be happy.

It was Wednesday evening when Elphaba was stressing out over a test she had the next day.

"Elphie, you've been studying for three hours. Please take a break sweetheart." Galinda said gently.

"Just give me like 30 more minutes Lindie."

"Elphie, do you really think you're not going to do well? You always do perfect on your tests. I'm sure you know this material inside and out. You'll do just fine." Galinda said reassuringly and kissed her forehead.

"I know, I just want to review as much as I can."

"I know how you are my love. I'm not asking you to stop studying, but taking a break will be good for you."

" I guess you're right." Elphaba agreed.

"I know I am." Galinda smiled and turned Elphaba's chair around. "I went downstairs to the vending machines to get us some snacks. You were too lost in your work to notice I left." She guided her girlfriend over to her bed. They got comfortable, ate chips, drank juice and talked about some interesting things that happened during their day.

"Are you feeling less stressed my love?" Galinda asked.

"A little, thank you for this Lindie." Elphaba smiled

"Anytime." Galinda said and gave her a kiss.

"Hm, I think I have another idea to help you out, since I was about to change into my pajamas anyway." Galinda said with a mischievous smile.

"What did you have in mind?" Elphaba asked, not sure if she should be worried.

"I'm gonna strip for you." The blonde grinned. Elphaba's eyebrows shot up.

"You-you're...what?"

"I'm going to strip for you. So just sit back and enjoy the show!"

"Um, okay." Elphaba said with an amused smiled. Galinda went over to her laptop and turned on some sensual music, then came back over to Elphaba and gave her an intense kiss.

She stood several feet in front of the green girl, unzipped her dress and let it fall to the floor. Elphaba watched her as she ran her hands up and down her sides and swayed her hips to the music. The green girl wasn't breathing evenly. The blonde reached behind her back and unhooked her bra. She slid the straps off her shoulders and let the rest fall away. She jiggled her breasts and gave them a squeeze. Elphaba licked her lips and blushed deeply when Galinda caught her gaze.

Galinda played with her breasts for a moment, knowing how much her girlfriend was turned on by this. The blonde turned around so her back was towards Elphie. She ran her hands over her backside before bending over slightly and hooking her thumbs around her waist of her panties. She slowly slide them down past her bottom while swaying her hips. Elphaba was barely breathing at this point. Oz, she's so sexy.

The blonde let her panties drop to her ankles, then kicked them to the side. Galinda looked back at her dark green girlfriend and went to her dresser to get her night clothes. Elphaba watched as Galinda's breasts jiggled as she walked and thought she was going to pass out. The blonde opened her dresser drawer and bent down at the waist. She smirked when she heard Elphaba inhale sharply. She put on another pair of underwear in the sexiest way Elphaba had ever seen, then gave her breasts another jiggle and squeeze before slipping her nightdress over her head.

She came back over to Elphaba and gave her a long, deep kiss.

"Did you like that my love?" She asked. It took the green girl a moment to find her voice.

"I- I did. Very much." She blushed deeply. "Thank you for that."

"The pleasure is all mine." Galinda smiled and kissed her again. "You're free to go back to your studying."

Elphaba gave Galinda another kiss before heading back to her desk, not sure if she would be able to concentrate at all after that.

The forecast for Thursday evening called for stormy weather, so Elphaba and Galinda took dinner up to their room just to be safe. It started pouring down raining as soon as they got inside. When they were finished eating they started to do their homework until several loud cracks of thunder frightened Galinda and she started to cry. Elphaba knew from past experiences that Galinda was very afraid of storms. She came over to her trembling girlfriend and wrapped her arms around her.

"The thunder can't hurt you my precious girl, I promise." She said placed several soft kissed on her forehead. After two more loud cracks and a flash of lightning, Galinda buried her face into Elphaba's chest and was whimpering.

"How about we get our pajamas on Lindie? Then we can wait out the storm in bed." Elphie suggested. She heard the blonde sniffle, then felt her nod. Elphaba held her hand and guided her to their dressers. Galinda was still trembling and afraid. Elphie helped her change, then got changed herself. She suggested they sleep in her bed since it was farthest from the window.

Elphaba went to her bed and pulled back the blankets.

"Hold on a sec, Elphie. I have to get something." Galinda said went to her bed to discretely retrieve her teddy bear. She kept it slightly tucked behind one of her pillows, out of sight. It was a fluffy, off-white colored bear and it was oblivious she had it for a very long time.

"Oh that little bear of yours." She heard Elphie say.

"Her name is Bearie." The blonde said sheepishly. "I sleep with her when I'm scared, or have a bad dream or miss Mommy and Daddy."

"I also noticed you take it with you when you need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night." Elphaba added.

"I don't like to go alone! Its either that or make you come with me."

The green girl raised an eyebrow but chuckled. Their bathroom was literally only a feet away, but if it made Galinda more comfortable to have her furry friend accompany her than so be it.

"What's so funny?" The blonde asked.

"Nothing." Elphie smiled.

"Then why are you smiling like that?"

"Because you're adorable."

"You must think I'm such a baby." Galinda sighed and plopped down on Elphaba's bed.

"Why would I think that Lindie?" Elphie asked and brought her girlfriend closer to her and kissed her cheek,

"I'm 18 and I'm afraid of storms. I have to sleep with my teddy bear and I need company when I pee at night."

"There's nothing wrong with that my sweet. Everyone has things that they're afraid of and everyone has something special that comforts them. Yours is Bearie." Elphaba said.

"What's yours?"

"This."Elphaba said and pulled a small green bottle out from under her pillow.

"What's that?"

"It belonged to my mother. I never knew exactly what it was but it's all I have left of her. It comforts me to have a piece of her with me." She explained and let Galinda hold it for a moment.

"At least a teddy bear is something you can cuddle with." Elphaba chuckled.

"An Elphie is something I can cuddle with too." Galinda giggled, which made Elphaba happy.

"And I can cuddle with a Lindie. I think I would like to actually." She said.

"Me too."

"Here, Bearie can snuggle right between us." Elphie said and positioned the bear between them then wrapped her arms around Galinda.

"How is that my sweet?"

"Perfect." Galinda smiled and kissed Elphie's lips. A few moments later a loud crack of thunder frightened Galinda again.

"Its okay Lindie. You're safe with us." Elphie held her tightly and kissed away the tears on her cheek. In attempt to get Galinda to stop crying and take her mind off the storm, Elphaba started to sing. She made a little song right on the spot

"I love you so. You are my precious girl. I am with you, feel my love within your heart. And now whatever way our lives will go, we're here with each other and I want you to know: When you're scared or frightened, just know that I'm here. I'll be right beside you to dry away your tears. It's safe to say that this storm won't last forever. You are my love, and I will love you for good."

"I didn't know you could sing like that Elphie." Galinda said. She had stopped crying as soon as she heard that beautiful, soothing voice.

"Well now you know." Elphaba smiled and gave her a kiss.

'"You have a really pretty voice. Can you sing it again?" The blonde asked in that little girl voice of hers.

"Of course I can Lindie." Elphie said. She sang the song a few more times. The storm outside eventually died down and Galinda was soon fast asleep.

The song Elphaba is singing is suppose to be to the tune of her part in 'For Good' starting with "So much of me is made of what I've learned from you..."
