Thanks to MyLittleElphie for reviewing. The green skin thing came from another gelphie person who complained about gelphie writers having Glinda focus so much on her skin. I never thought of it that way, and I liked it, so I incorporated it into the story. As for gelphie relationship; I guess I'm the reverse. There is so much more to it than fiyeraba, so a mediocre gelphie is easier for me to believe than a mediocre fiyeraba. In the end, the story of oz is the story of women, and the story of wicked is Glinda and Elphaba. Everything else is peripheral. That's what I focus on; as Ridiculous Mavis put it (in the Thrill): "…they moved around each other, both in the physical realm and the constant emotional adjustments…". And knowing them, knowing how the feel and how I view what makes them tick makes the words come to me easier. And thank you for your compliments.
Thank you to Lishalove for reviewing. I'm happy you enjoyed the chapter. All smut serve some purpose. I put it all into three categories: making love, having sex, and, for lack of a better term, the f-word. They each serve a purpose: an expression of love, having fun, and satisfying a need respectively. All three will be in this story, and I'm sure you can guess what this one was.
Thanks for nursejoy7 for reviewing. I shall tell you no such thing. But you should know by now I'm a sucker for happy endings.
Thank you to heatqueen for reviewing. That was what I was going for. In the book, they are specifically described as virginal, and I tried to have that come across. I'm glad I succeeded. In my experience, sex with someone for the first time is always slightly awkward (even if the two aren't virgins). But that's what makes it better! Anyway, I'm, glad you had your good blush.
Thank you to beserkeroo for reviewing. I hope you didn't die. I don't want ot lose any reviewers, especially those so enthusiastic.
I'm late again; what else is new? I blame Easter.
Also, I devised an Ozian calendar to keep my days and months straight. Every chapter I'll be posting the dates the chapter covers. At the end of this chapter I'll give a rundown of the calendar and the dates for this and previous chapters.
As always, read, enjoy, review. Comments and critiques welcome.
Elphaba was awakened by a warm wet spot on her body. She opened her eyes to see her angel with her mouth hanging open. Smiling, Elphaba shifted her sleeping blonde off of her and was grateful saliva did not hurt her. Putting her legs over the side, she went to stand up.
"Rae?" Glinda mumbled.
"Yes?"
"Eredo you fink urr goin?"
"I was planning on getting us breakfast."
"You forgetting something?"
"Of course. How silly of me." Elphaba replied smiling, and gave Glinda kiss. Not satisfied with just one, Elphaba gave her several small kisses afterward. Glinda sighed happily.
"So nice."
Elphaba smile widened as she went over to her closet. Selecting one of her frocks, she dressed as she always did; frock over the top and then slipping the nightdress off. She heard a huff coming from behind her.
"You ok, my angel?"
"No."
"I'm sorry. What can I do to make it better?"
"Drop the frock."
"I can't go out and get food naked. What would you eat, then?"
"You."
"But look at me. I'm all moldy. Obviously I've spoiled." Elphaba retorted, hurrying to the door. This conversation had slipped her control.
"I remember you tasting downright delicious last night." Glinda purred as she got out of bed. Elphaba drank in the sight of her naked body in the daylight. Heat bloomed in her and she grasped for, and missed, the doorknob.
"Bathe, my sweet, or we'll never leave this room!" she gasped out. Opening the door a crack she scanned the hallway. It was deserted. Hot breath on her neck alerted her to a close presence.
"And how is that a bad thing?" Glinda's sultry voice whispered. Elphaba forced herself not to look lest she fall.
"For I shall die of starvation far before you and then you'll be lonely."
"Such morbidness. I bet I could cheer you up."
"Glinda!" Elphaba admonished half-heartedly, and as she felt dainty hands she jerked open the door and slid out, quickly almost closing it behind her. "I shall be back."
"I'll be waiting." Came the predatory purr from the other side. Elphaba completely closed the door and walked away, taking a deep breath to clear her head.
Glinda soaked in her bath. Despite her earlier advances she was not particularly aroused. Had Elphaba not dressed in her usual manner that might not be true. She let her hands drift down her body, searching for any difference. She had…well, not to be overly romantic about it, but she had made love for the first time and was wondering if there would be any difference physically. She felt none. The only sign was a slightly fading bruise on her chest from the pub. Well, and an additional soreness.
What had truly changed was that she now could remember the feel of Elphaba's hands on her, Elphaba's lips grazing her skin, and (she blushed) Elphaba mouth and tongue enveloping her. She was quite sure she would never forget the feeling and always yearn for it. Shadows crept at the edge of her thoughts but she expertly pushed them away.
Her hands attempted to wander some more but sore body parts quickly put an end to it. She sighed and got out of the tub. As she went to pull the cork she saw a cup and stopped. Grabbing it, she filled it with some bathwater. She darted out of the bathroom, and quickly back in with her wand (the room was quite chilly). Waving it, she concentrated on the water.
She had done transformation work before but always on solid objects. Liquids were more difficult due to their less defined nature. She continued her spell, focusing all her might. The water began to shift and change color and she saw it thicken. She did a final push and the water quivered but slid back to being only water. Glinda let out a sigh of disappointment.
She tossed her wand on a shelf and began to towel herself off. Her spell had not worked but it had done something. They were supposed to go over liquid transformation in a couple of weeks but Glinda could not wait that long. It was time to pull an Elphie and move ahead. Besides, the extra twenty hours she had practiced this week had really paid off.
She froze at that thought. Twenty hours? Why had she not realized that? Oh, right; because she had been helping and being with Elphaba. She once again thought that Elphaba was either going to make her the greatest sorceress in Shiz or kill her. Pondering those twenty hours she realized she did not know what she had filled them with previously. She still looked every inch the socialite, still had time for every excursion with her friends (Circle and not) and saw more of Elphaba. What had she done before?
As she put on her robe she examined herself in the mirror. Perhaps she did not look quite as good as previously but she bet there was a spell that could help her curl her hair or set her makeup. Other than that, she had not felt as if she lost anything, and gained much more. Walking out of the bathroom she saw Elphaba sitting at her desk, book out. The tray of food was on the middle end table that separated their beds.
"Oh, Rae, I didn't hear you come in." she said surprised.
"I should think not; otherwise, you spell may need some adjustment." Was the distracted response. Typical Elphaba with her nose in a book.
"Are you going to eat with me?"
"I'm not particularly hungry, my sweet."
Glinda huffed and looked to both of the doors. They were locked. She let the robe slip from her shoulders and walked over to Elphaba. When her emerald girlfriend did not look up she slipped her arms over Elphaba's shoulders.
"Pretty please?"
Elphaba was about to make another placating remark but she felt the warmth and softness pressing against the back of her neck. She inhaled slowly.
"Glinda, may I ask why you are…" she managed to get out but words failed her at the crucial point.
"Naked?"
Elphaba made an affirmative sound. Glinda bent low to whisper in her ear.
"Can I tell you a dirty little secret?"
Elphaba made the same pained affirmative as before.
"When you're not around, I don't wear clothes."
"Why?" Elphaba choked out.
"Partially because of how free it feels…and partially because how naughty it does." Was the throaty answer, and then Elphaba felt a tongue flick her ear. She let out something akin to a squeak. "I can see no reason to wear clothes now when you're around, either."
"No reason?" Elphaba croaked and gasped when Glinda nibbled on her neck.
"Well…" Glinda said, mischief in her voice, "maybe not no reason."
"Glinda!" Elphaba gasped. She stood and spun, attempting to put distance between them. It worked but was ill conceived was it now meant Elphaba could see Glinda. Morning light cascaded over her, enhancing her golden curls. All of her golden curls. Elphaba's eyes were drawn downward, causing her to blush and turn around. Pale arms encircled her waist.
"Look, Rae. Remember, it's all yours." Glinda said gently.
"It's just too…perfect." Elphaba replied quietly.
"A girl always enjoys compliments." Glinda giggled.
"Glinda, please put some clothes on. If I see you like I'll always be thinking about you, and never be able to concentrate again; just like those stupid boys."
"Only if you have breakfast with me."
"Yes, yes, I agree! Now please, before I expire from this Oz!"
"Ok." Glinda giggled again, and slipped her robe back on. She played at not tying it, but she thought Elphaba had been teased enough. She closed it and sat on her bed.
"Ok, Rae, it's safe." She giggled again. Elphaba gave a quick glance, just to make sure Glinda was not lying, and then turned around fully. She walked over and sat across from Glinda in her own bed.
"I will not be held liable for the crumbs in your bed." Elphaba said, trying to get the conversation back into safer territory.
"Good thing I'll be sleeping in your bed, then."
"That's a bit presumptuous."
"Is it?"
There was a silence that stretched for an eternity and a moment. The, like the dawn,
"No." Elphaba whispered.
Glinda suppressed a squeal of delight but did smile. She finished her food in silence, and then lay back on her bed, content. She was completely unaware her robe had slipped, revealing one completely leg to the hip. The robe had shifted to cover the more intimate area, though. Her gaze traveling upward, Elphaba marveled at how the gap managed to widen just enough to tease the swell of the breasts but no more. Elphaba's eyes lingered and finally rose to see a smiling Glinda.
"I'm glad you indulged yourself." She said. Elphaba blushed but was unable to tear her eyes away. Glinda giggled at her reaction and laced her arms above her head. The robe pulled, revealing more of luscious hills along with the faintest semi-circle of lighter skin (for Glinda was so pale they almost disappeared), and the barest strip of golden curls atop a flush pink-
The heat ripped through Elphaba again, forcing her forward. She bestrode Glinda and kissed her fiercely. The blonde met her force with force, wrapping arms and one leg around her to bring her closer, and ground into her emerald girlfriend. Both girls moaned.
"Rae." Glinda gasped out when they broke for air, but Elphaba silence her with another intense kiss. Glinda barely managed to pull back and avoid another kiss. "As much as I do like this, I think we should stop. I'm a bit sore."
"Did I do something wrong last night?" Elphaba asked, her voice pitching higher and concerned.
"No, dear, just sore from use. A good sore."
"Really?"
"Really. My bet is that you," Glinda said and snagged a nipple through the frock, eliciting a gasp and moan, "are a bit sore too."
"I guess you're right." Elphaba agreed, and blushed.
"Perhaps I should put clothes on."
"That would be for the best."
"Rae?"
"Yes?"
"You have to let me up."
"…Have to?"
"Yes. It is required."
"If it is an integral part, I must acquiesce."
"It is and you should."
A moment.
"Well?"
"I'm getting there."
Elphaba reluctantly got up and Glinda reluctantly stood. She took two steps and let the robe fall. Elphaba inhaled sharply but did not move. As Glinda sashayed to her closet Elphaba's mind was filled with many colorful euphemisms. An angel astride Oz. Sunlight made corporeal. Aelphaba from the waterfall. Elphaba quirked and eyebrow. Maybe not that last one.
Glinda slipped on her chemise and the temptation subsided but smoldered. A simple yellow dress went over the top of Glinda's chemise.
"Now," she said, "what's on the agenda?"
The two girls were deep in their respective homework. The term homework was actually misleading; neither girl had been assigned this work by their professors. Glinda was getting a head start on the next week's sorcery work; Elphaba, after a quick review for the upcoming week, was finishing up the year's study. After this next week she would finally be able to give the third year textbook she bribed off another student the attention it deserved. The books from the Crage Library were outdated, though less biased. Glinda noticed Elphaba squinting and levitated her glasses to her.
"They're there for a reason, Rae." She chided. Elphaba grumped but put them on. At that moment she realized something.
"You did that without your wand." She said.
"Uh huh." Glinda chirped happily, and Elphaba smiled.
"Excellent job, my angel."
"Thank you."
The two girls went back to work. However, a thought struck Elphaba. She mulled it over in her brain but resolved to think on it another time. She went back to studying but her mind would not let the thought past. Finally, an hour later, she stood.
"Rae?"
"I have to return this book to the library." Elphaba said, grabbing one of her desk.
"Right now?"
"Unfortunately, yes. The librarian is becoming quite cross with me keeping everything to the last possible moment."
"I could see that. Hurry back, Rae."
"Of course" With that, Elphaba flew out the door.
It was an hour later when Elphaba returned. As she opened the door she was nearly burnt by the anger in Glinda's stare.
"Over an hour, Rae, an hour! That's not hurrying back!"
"I'm sorry my sweet. The librarian mentioned they had new texts on loan, and I had to search through them. I apologize."
Glinda huffed and stomped her foot. "That's no excuse! You know I respect your passion, Rae, but it was supposed to be us time twenty minutes ago!"
"I know, my darling. How about we take a walk and get some lunch. Will that make up for it?"
"It's a start."
The two girls started getting ready to leave. Elphaba watched Glinda go into the bathroom and quickly checked her closet. Good. All the pieces were there. However, it may be extra difficult to leave by their normal route. Perhaps she needed to find a key for the laundry room door.
"Ready, Rae?"
"Of course, my darling." Elphaba replied.
Elphaba handed Glinda her cloak and both girls set off. They stole through the kitchens and over the garden wall. Walking arm in arm, the made their way past the sport fields behind Briscoe Hall that were in the shadows of the campus' walls. Few boys were out as it was still fairly cold. Most groups were closer to the Suicide Canal on the southern side of the Halls. They made their way to the café Glinda liked, a Gillikin themed restaurant called the Emerald Hills, which was clustered just outside campus with the others.
They chatted quietly over lunch about nothing in particular. As usual Elphaba had sat them in a corner, and as usual Glinda spoke to her fellow students they knew. Elphaba's input was few and far between in those conversations. This time Elphaba paid and the girls set off south in the direction of the Suicide Canal. While the northern edge of the canal was mostly open grass and good for picnicking, the southern was populated with ancient trees and footpaths. Lovers traditionally stole there, and they were no exception.
The two girls walked closer now. Glinda clung to Elphaba, resting her head against her shoulder. Glinda looked at the buds growing on the trees.
"Everything is so green." She sighed contently.
"Including me." Elphaba added jovially.
"Oh, Elphie." Glinda said. It felt strange for her to use it after calling her Rae for almost a day. It felt strange for Elphaba to hear it. "I'm just sad there are no flowers in bloom. I like pink and green together."
Elphaba smiled at the allusion and an idea struck her. She closed her eyes and concentrated, focusing the want in her mind. By Glinda's gasp she knew it had succeeded.
"Oh, Elphie! You changed some of the buds' colors? That's so good!"
"Thank you, my sweet. I will say it was very taxing."
"Then let me reward you." She whispered and pulled Elphaba behind a tree. She rose up on her tiptoes and kissed Elphaba. It sent tingles through both of them, which was the best kind of magic.
Elphaba walked further down the path with Glinda. The blonde was alternatively sighing and let out elated giggles. Elphaba finally looked at her askance.
"You know, if you keep this up, I shall never indulge you ever again."
"You are so mean."
"And green. I know." Elphaba finished with a hint of a smile. She reached into the pocket of her cloak and drew something out.
"Elphie, what's that?"
"A pocket watch." She answered absently. She quickly did the math in her head. They would have to leave soon.
"Where did you get that from?"
"A little shop by the Peach and Kidneys called Broken Things. It's quite intriguing. I should take you there sometime."
"Why do you have a pocket watch?"
"To keep track of the time."
"Why do you need to know the time?"
"Because I need to be at certain places at certain times."
"I get that. But why not simply look at clocks on the street?"
"Because lately I've been pulled into areas that do not have clocks."
"I wonder why that is?"
"I never do."
"Aww, you're so sweet."
"Thank you. We need to get back."
"Have someplace to be?"
"I have some work to do, my love."
"Do we need to?"
"We do not need to do much, my sweet. The questions is whether what we are doing is worthwhile or help us achieve our wants in life. The answer is yes to both."
"Ok."
As the two girls entered the dorm Glinda went to open her books but stopped as Elphaba gave her a kiss on the forehead. Glinda smiled.
"I'm going to clean up, my sweet." Elphaba said.
"Really? You're not particularly dirty."
"I feel the need."
"Can I watch?"
"No. Study." Elphaba replied sternly.
"If I must."
"You must."
Elphaba smiled and went into the bathroom. She grabbed her oils and went about cleaning herself in typical efficient manner. Her hair was what would take the most time. She quickly toweled down the edge of the tub and tilted her hair back over it. Applying her oils, she then applied the oil-shampoo, and finally the oil rinse. Twenty minutes later she was done. Wrapping herself in a towel she walked out. Glinda glanced up and back down, but did a double take.
"Wow, Rae."
"Thanks love."
Elphaba went to her closet and bent down to pull out her boots. She copied Glinda's maneuver, bending at the waist instead of the knees. The towel rode up, stopping just under Elphaba's butt. Glinda held her breath, daring for more, but Elphaba straightened. She reached into the closet and her body slid up, or the towel slid down; Glinda was unsure which. Either way, Glinda did not notice the dress in Elphaba's hands. Glinda sighed disappointedly as Elphaba stopped moving and her towel covered her.
"My angel." Elphaba said and Glinda snapped out of her admiration, "You need to get ready."
"For what, Rae?"
"Dinner."
"Dinner?"
"Yes. We have a reservation at Gerand's for seven."
"We do?"
"Yes. And if you don't want to miss some gilding, you're going to need to start now."
"So…it's like a date?"
"I'm uncertain. It is a dinner meeting for a specific time with a required dress at a nice restaurant where I shall be paying." Elphaba teased.
"That's a date."
"Ah, yes, a date then."
"When did you set this up?"
Elphaba had the decency to look a little embarrassed. "I may not have been completely truthful about my missing hour."
"You lied to me."
"Of course not. I did all those things; I just did others also."
"How romantically deceitful. I approve."
"Thank you. Now hurry, my sweet. Hurry, if you can."
Glinda bounded up off the bed and to the bathroom. As she bounced past Elphaba she gave her a kiss. As Glinda started to shut the door she heard Elphaba call to her one more time. She turned and saw Elphaba drop the towel. As the door shut she caught sight of long legs and the barest hint of backside before being obscured.
Glinda breezed out of the bathroom two hours later to see Elphaba in a deep purple dress at her desk. The raven haired beauty was taking notes on a text (with her glasses on, Glinda noted happily). Floating over to her closet, Glinda chose a black elegant dress she had bought last week. As she finished dressing she struck a pose.
"Done, my sweet?" Elphaba asked.
"Done." She bubbled.
"Good. With plenty of time to spare. Come, my angel, for we will be off."
Elphaba led Glinda down the backstairs and out the laundry door to Shiz. She turned and locked it, sliding the key into her pocket.
"Where did you get that?"
"I took it off the janitor's ring. I'm going to get a copy made tomorrow."
"Elphie! You stole school property!"
"It's easier than hopping the garden wall every day."
"That is true."
They hailed a cab and Elphaba gave the cabbie their destination. As they rode Glinda noticed they were headed away from the usual dining destinations. The trip was also taking longer than any she had taken in Shiz before.
"Elphie? How far is this?"
"Only a few minutes more. It's near Shiz city walls."
"Why so far?"
"It's the only place an Animal can afford to own."
"Oh. What kind of food is it?"
"All kinds. Gerand was a chef in the Emerald City until a few years ago."
"Is it rude to ask what he, or she, is?"
"Gerand is a he, and he's a Dog."
"How does he cook?"
"Specialized cookware."
"That must be horribly expensive."
"It is. Just another thing that keeps Animals repressed."
"I'm sorry."
"For what? Did you do anything to subjugate Animals?"
"No, but you just get so…angry over this."
"I know what it is like to be ostracized for being different."
"I never thought of it like that."
"I hate to use the slippery slope logical fallacy, but if the Animals are exterminated, what next? Dwarves, Faeries? Non-Ozians? Ozians that look different like the Vinkuns and Quadlings? Green people?"
"Could they really get rid of all the Animals?"
"They already pushed them out of the Emerald City. The last place they have any real hope for advanced work and wages is Gillikin. And then, only in the major cities."
"What about the other countries?"
"There are more Animals in the Vinkus, but they're wilder. Quadling country can't handle the people there as it is, and Munchkinland, well, it's mostly agricultural and most of the humans are used for farm labor, let alone the Animals."
They were silent then until they reached the restaurant. Elphaba tipped the cabbie and held out her hand to Glinda. Such a small gesture that meant so much.
"Elphie, I know we haven't discussed it really, but I thought we weren't really, you know, public." Glinda said timidly.
"It's fine here my sweet. No one comes out here unless they're Animals."
"Ok. Glinda replied, and entwined her right hand in Elphaba's right. She pulled close and wrapped her left arm around Elphaba's arm. With that they became to the world what they truly were; young lovers on a date.
Elphaba walked them towards the door and an Ape opened it for them. Elphaba nodded at him. Both girls walked towards the hostess station where a Mountain Lion was standing behind. He (she? Glinda could not tell) smiled at them, It was a bit disconcerting.
"Miss Elphaba! So nice to see you!" she (Glinda could tell now) said. It disturbed Glinda when she became the sole focus of the Lioness' attention. "And who might this lovely young lady be?"
"I'm Glinda Arduenna. It's a pleasure to meet you." Glinda replied.
"It's so nice to see Miss Elphaba come with a friend."
"Girlfriend." Elphaba corrected and both girls held their breath. The Lioness blinked, looked at Glinda and back to Elphaba, and smiled broader.
"Congratulations." She said, and they could see that she meant it. "Give me a moment. Masar!"
A Ferret ran up to her and they started whispering fiercely. The Ferret climbed up the station and made some gestures. The Lioness nodded and then turned back to the girls.
"Follow me."
She led them through a maze of tables to a back corner. Elphaba raised an eyebrow as the booth they were sat at was secluded by large raised dividers. On the table was a lit candle and a center piece with flowers. The Lioness smiled again and moved off.
"I didn't know this part of the restaurant existed." Elphaba said distractedly.
"You come here often?"
"Often enough. Being Ozian is unique enough to get me remembered, let alone green."
"Oh. I didn't notice that there weren't any other Ozians here. So you come here because of the Animals?"
"No. They have good food and they make sure their meat is only animal."
"I thought you were a vegetarian?"
"Outside this place, I am."
"I see." There was a moment of silence. "This is very romantic."
"Really?" Elphaba said in that slightly higher pitch.
"Really. The flowers, the privacy, the secretness." Glinda reached across the table and grasped Elphaba's hand. "All very romantic."
"I'm glad I didn't mess anything up."
"Quite the opposite. The only way to make it better would be music and dancing."
"Something can be arranged." A gruff voice said. Glinda turned to see a large, grey colored Dog in a white jacket and hat.
"Gerand." Elphaba said with a smile. "How are you?"
"Good. Good." Her replied and looked at Glinda. Elphaba blushed, embarrassed.
"Gerand, this is Miss Glinda Arduenna, my girlfriend." Elphaba said and Glinda's heart soared hearing it.
"A pleasure." Gerand said. "I must say you two look wonderful together."
"Thank you." Glinda beamed while Elphaba flustered at the compliment.
"Well, I must get back to it. The guests are hungry enough to eat an elephant. In fact, that Tiger over there," Gerand said and motioned with a paw, "tried to order one. Unfortunately, there's no wild packs of elephants left."
With that he comment he bowed his head and left. A minute later a waiter came over and took their order. The two girls sat making idle conversation. Glinda, like usual, did most of the talking but Elphaba was engaged. Somewhere a band started playing and both girls enjoyed the music. They were so engrossed in each other they did not notice the staff move tables from the center of the floor. The music changed to a slow waltz. Both girls were oblivious until the Lioness came to the table.
"Ladies, the floor is yours." She said with a smile and moved away. Elphaba's eyes widened as she realized what was going on. Glinda could see the uncertainty there. She slid out of the booth, and held out her hand.
"Elphaba, come with me."
"I don't know, Glinda."
"Together, there's nothing to be afraid of."
"I know but…"
"Please. We can do anything together, Elphaba. Even a dance in front of people."
"Ok."
Glinda led her emerald girlfriend out onto the floor. Taking Elphaba's hand and pulling her close, the two danced shyly at first. Eventually the world around them disappeared and it was just the two of them, lovers moving to their own hearts.
