"To the finest Goat in all of Oz!" Elphaba raised her glass of wine and toasted Doctor Dillamond.

"Here here." The small crowd of friends lifted their glasses too. Glinda, who had told this group of her name change, wrapped her arm around Elphaba and buried her face in the folds of Elphaba's black cape.

"Ah, to the emotional drunk!" Elphaba raised her glass again and everyone around the table laughed.

"How did she get drunk after two glasses of wine?" Fiyero pointed just to the right of Glinda, as he had had many more than two glasses of wine and much more than his share of vodka. Elphaba, who had drained only one glass of wine and no vodka, lifted Glinda's head.

"She weighs, what, a hundred pounds? She's a lightweight!" Elphaba proved this by hauling Glinda up onto her feet and then letting her fall back onto Elphaba's lap.

Fiyero giggled. "For a hundred pounds, she's stacked!" Elphaba again lifted Glinda's head so she could inspect Glinda's endowment.

"Well I'll be a..." Elphaba thought for a moment. What was the most outrageous thing she could think of? "Well I'll be a flying monkey!" The table burst into laughter. Glinda lifted her head of her own accord.

"Flaming munchies don't exist!" Glinda protested. Elphaba laughed and smoothed back Glinda's curls.

"Sleep, my drunken little pet."

"Hey, Ephlaba! No...Elphabo. Elpha..." Glinda paused, confused. Elphaba laughed kindly.

"Elphaba?" Glinda nodded.

"That's the one." Elphaba found her hand was in the shaky grip of her drunk friend.

"You're green!" Glinda laughed out loud. "Like this girl I know! You should meet her!" Fiyero, drunker than Glinda, stared in amazement.

"Holy Ozma! Glinda's right! Elphaba's green like Elphie!" Boq, the only other sober one, laughed with Elphaba.

"Glinda, you are drunk." Elphaba began to pick Glinda up. Glinda willingly melted into Elphaba's arms, giggling like a madman.

"I'll get Fiyero back, then?" Boq lifted Fiyero's arm and tugged on the prince.

"Do I get a goodnight kiss?" Fiyero slurred. Boq stepped immediately away from him, but Elphaba only held up Glinda.

"Did you not notice she's practically passed out?" Fiyero shook his head.

"From you!" Elphaba's face turned a little lighter, as if she was turning white.

"I have to get Glinda back to the room, she's gonna pass out soon." Elphaba rushed away to hide the deep green blush that now covered her face and neck. Glinda giggled and put her hand on the warm green skin.

"You and diamond-boy sitting in a tree!" Glinda singsonged.
