Galinda cried for about a few hours after the wicked spell was cast on her hair. She couldn't show this to her mother and father! Sure, she could just ask Elphaba to counteract a spell to make her hair blonde again, but for now she felt like she couldn't trust her with a curling iron. In short, Galinda felt like solving this problem herself, blonde or not.

And so our Galinda got up from her bed and snatched the book that was laying on Elphaba's bed. She looked in the table of contents first.

"What language is this?" Galinda said aloud. "Oh well. I'll find a word that's similar to hair or reptile...Which ever comes first..."

She flipped through the book and did find a page, but one of the snakes on her head ripped the page out of the book and ate it.

"GIVE THAT BACK!" Galinda cried, trying to yank the snake off of her head. No such luck.

"Momsie and Popsicle are going to go insane..." Galinda said finally. "I tried everything..."

She picked up a hat she had and put it on her head (Well, tried to, anyway. The snakes didn't want to be covered). This gave her an idea.

"I'll just wear a hat." Galinda said finally. "Maybe that might work!"


"Welcome, fellow Ozians!" Madame Morrible greeted the parents outside of Shiz' doors. "I am sure you have been anticipating this day, and I am most certain that your children have been also."

The doors opened, and all of the students were waiting for them.

"Galinda, dear!" Galinda's mother called.

"Momsie! Popsicle!" Galinda said, running up to them (And trying to keep her hat on).

"Honey, it's very hot in here..." Her mother told her. "Aren't you sweating in that hat?"

"Erm...Not at all!" Galinda answered. "Um, let's go see my dorm, shall we?"

And so Galinda and her parents went to the dorm.
