Whoa, I haven't update in forever! I'm so sorry folks! School has been extremely time consuming. Please forgive me! On with the fic.

Hollaback girl!

It was after rehearsal by the time that Elphaba had dragged Mouse from the library. The girl had tried every excuse in the book but Elphaba was to persistent and won in the long run. So, after making a call to her parents Mouse found herself in front of the Super 8 where the cast was staying.

"What are we doing here? Won't I need to go to a salon or something?" Mouse asked.

"Oh, no there's no need for that. Glinda practically carries a salon with her wherever she goes." Elphaba replied as she knocked on the door to Glinda and Boq's room.

"Glinda!" Elphaba called when she received no answer.

There was a sound of music being played.

"Glinda!"

Elphaba was tired of waiting and whispered a simple spell to open the door. What they saw would shock them both. Glinda was jumping on the bed in a pink t- shirt and a hot pink minnie skirt to the tune of Gwen Stephani's Hollaback Girl.

"THIS SHIT IS BANANAS ….B ANANA S!" Glinda shouted.

Elphaba was mortified and ran to turn the radio off.

"Elphie I was listening to that!" Glinda squealed stomping her foot.

"Glinda what have they done to you!"

"Nothing, Ally just lent me this CD. Isn't it great?"

"Never again, besides Glinda I've got a victim…or I mean makeover constant for you."

Glinda was now excited, "Who is it?"

"Well, I found a girl who I think could play my part better than Candy. But she needs a little help in the image department."

"Elphie you know I can't turn people green…"

"No not that, I mean just in general. And you may want to break out the big bag for this one." Elphaba hinted.

"Oh, Elphie I'm sure it can't be that bad!"

Elphaba called for Mouse to enter the room. Glinda took one look at Mouse and ran to get the big bag. Mouse looked a more then a little freaked out by all the make up, clothing and hair products Glinda was laying out in front of her.

"Ummmm…..if you don't mind me asking what are you going to do to me?"

"We're going to make you popular." Glinda answered as she held a jean minny skirt up to Mouse.

"I don't usually we're skirts…or tight shirts, high heels, dresses, make up, hats or do anything with my hair."

Glinda looked at Elphaba.

"We've got a lot of work to do." Elphaba said.

And with that the pain of the makeover began.

The next day at rehearsal, Elphaba didn't show up to coach or rather battle with Candy. Fiyero had tried to get her to leave with the rest of the cast but she had refused saying that she was waiting for a friend. Candy felt triumphant thinking that the green woman had given up and that she was the ruler of the play once again. But all too soon for Candy the doors of the theater flew open and there stood Elphaba and another young girl. The two women made their way to the stage; the boys whistled looking at the hot brunette that followed Elphaba. Brent looked at the girl; he had never seen her around the school before maybe she didn't go here. She was certainly beautiful, shoulder length glossy brown hair, a black minnie skirt and a dark blue top that showed off her figure. And her eyes….so green…then it hit him he had seen those eyes before but where?

"Miss Elphaba we are trying to rehearse!" the director said angry at her intrusion.

"I apologize, but I have found a young lady I believe more capable for the part of Elphaba." She announced glaring at Candy.

"And who may I ask have you brought?" Candy sneered glaring at the new girl.

"May I introduce Miss Simone but most of you know her as Mouse."

At this news many mouths hung open along with a few gasps. Brent stared, that was Mouse? His friend? As he looked at the pretty girl before him he tried to place her with the fizzy haired girl he knew. He couldn't believe it though, but when she looked at him and smiled shyly he knew this was his friend.

"A leopard can't change its spots and a geek is still a geek no matter how much make up you plaster over her ugly mug." Candy sneered.

Elphaba was about ready to slap Candy but Mouse held her back and stepped forward.

"You know, I used to be afraid of you. But now that I look at you I see nothing but a shallow little bitch who's so afraid of what others think that she has to degrade them. I may be a geek, but you…you're pathetic." She whispered.

"Well you may look that part but how is little miss no voice going to sing?" Candy pointed out.

"Yes, Miss Elphaba your new discovery must be able to sing." The director reminded her.

At this all of Mouse's new found confidence seemed to melt away….singing in front of crowds was never one of her favorite things to do.

"and that she can do" Elphaba said as she nudged Mouse forward with an encouraging smile.

But Mouse seemed frozen with fear especially as the spotlight was shown down on her. She looked like a deer in the head lights, the rest of the kids started to laugh at her fear. Brent glared into the darkness at those who were finding amusement in his friend's fear. He couldn't take it anymore, he had left her in her time of need once and he wasn't going to do it again. Brent stepped into the spotlight and pulled Mouse into his arms.

She looked at him bewildered, "what are you doing?" she gasped.

"As Long As Your Mine….you can do it. I'll be right here with you." He whispered.

"Brent I can't….."

"Yes you can, Elphaba, and I'm not Brent I'm Fiyero."

Mouse took a deep breath and started the song. Her voice rose over the raptors of the theater. Both of them, never before had any of the audience heard singing with such emotion. And the passion shown between the two seemed so real. In Elphaba and Fiyero's minds there was no doubt….they weren't acting anymore. As the last lines of the song were spoken Brent and Mouse were locked in a kiss.

"And cut! That was magnificent!...Ummmm Brent, Mouse you can stop kissing now." The director called.

The two ignored him and went on as though no one else was there.

"Brent! Mouse!" He called again.

By now the two were practically making out on stage.

"Oh, really have some control you two!"

"GET A ROOM!" someone shouted.

This caught their attention, and they broke apart embarrassed.

"There is no doubt in my mind that Mouse is right for the part. And I am very impressed, but if this scene is going to get out of hand…." The director threatened.

"Sorry, sir it won't happen again." Mouse whispered blushing furiously.

"WHAT I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PEOPLE! IF YOU THINK THAT THIS LITTLE NOBODY CAN TAKE MY PLACE. YOUR'VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMING! I'LL HAVE MY REVENGE GEEK!" Candy shrieked before stomping out of the theater.

"Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out." Elphaba called cackling with glee.

Well, what's in store for Mouse now? A new look, a part and possibly a boyfriend?
