Elphaba went to her dorm and collapsed on her bed. She didn't even notice Galinda until she heard her speak.

"Um, Miss Elphaba?" said Galinda. Elphaba looked up, why was she talking to her?
"Yes?" she said.

"What was that you did today in class?" she asked.

"Magic." Elphaba said sarcastically.

"Oh never mind," huffed Galinda, turning back to brushing her curls. Then she turned back around, Elphaba was getting her books out to study, "Miss Elphaba, I have an amazing idea!" she suddenly squealed. Elphaba looked up.

"What's that?" she asked, but she didn't sound too interested.

"You could sound a little more enthusiastic." said Galinda, "Like you really care about what I'm going to say."

"But I don't really care." Elphaba snapped. Galinda glared at her and didn't say anything.

"Fine, I'll tell you anyway." she said, giving in to the silence, "I am going to make you my new project!" Elphaba's eyes widened and she sat up.

"You really don't have to do that. I mean, you really don't have to do that." said Elphaba.

"I know silly, that's what makes me so nice." said Galinda rushing over to Elphaba's bed, "I'm going to give you the most beautifying makeover ever!"

"I'd rather you not." said Elphaba, getting off of her bed and taking a step away from Galinda.

"Why not?!" Galinda wailed.

"I don't like make up." said Elphaba.

"Fine, at least let me pick out your outfit! You can wear something of mine!" said Galinda.

"I don't wear pink." said Elphaba.

"Silly, do you think that's the only color I have in my closet?" asked Galinda, "I've also got..." Galinda went over to her closet to sift through the fluffy gowns in there. Then she looked back at Elphaba and blushed, "Actually, all I have is pink." Elphaba laughed.

"Really, you don't have to give me a makeover." said Elphaba.

"But I want to! It's what friends do!" said Galinda.

"Oh, so we're friends now?" asked Elphaba, a sudden wave of hope and shock came over her.

"Of course silly!" said Galinda, giving Elphaba a hug. Elphaba smiled.

"Thank you." she said softly. Galinda looked at Elphaba, when she heard the sudden change of tone.

"Elphie, have you ever had a friend?" asked Galinda. The room was silent for a while.

"No." Elphaba said quietly. Galinda sat down next to Elphaba.

"That's terrible," Galinda tried to imagine her life without friends, she couldn't, "Well, now I'm your friend, so you have nothing to worry about!" she said.

"Could you be the friend that doesn't give me makeovers?" said Elphaba grinning.

"Fine, but I just have to brush this lovely hair of yours," she said. Before Elphaba could protest, Galinda had a brush going through her hair. Elphaba grumbled as she pulled her book to her face to read while Galinda brushed her hair.

"Ooh! You are going to be soo pretty!" said Galinda. Elphaba rolled her eyes as she continued to read.

The next day, Elphaba awoke to a new feeling that hung in the air, friendship. She and Galinda had talked all night, sharing secrets and such. Most of Galinda's secrets involved Fiyero and Elphaba didn't have too many secrets she was actually willing to share. Elphaba smiled remembering how much fun she'd had, she couldn't' remember having fun like that before, it just wasn't how she had lived.

"Elphie, I have a question." said Galinda sitting up.

"What's that?" Elphaba asked.

"What did Morrible say to you after you stole the Lion?" asked Galinda. Elphaba stiffened, suddenly remembering the dreadful news. Her father would probably receive the letter by now, and was probably on a train to Shiz.

"She...she understood that it was an uncontrolled accident, but she still informed my father." said Elphaba, a shiver going up her spine. Galinda watched Elphaba's reaction to her father.

"Strict father?" she asked.

"You have no idea." said Elphaba, getting up and walking to the bathroom to change. Galinda thought about what Elphaba had said. Her father couldn't be that bad. But Elphaba was right, Galinda really did have no idea.

The two friends walked to class together. A lot of people stared and it unsettled Elphaba.

"You don't have to walk with me to class you know. People will probably start to laugh at you because you're with the green girl." said Elphaba.

"Silly, they can stare! We are friends and if that's too hard for them to grasp, so be it. But still, this is making you popular not me unpopular." said Galinda, always the confident optimistic one. Elphaba just shrugged and muttered, "You're reputation."

"Really Elphaba, be optimistic!" snapped Galinda.

"How did I know that was coming?" said Elphaba sarcastically. Galinda laughed. Soon the two were joking and laughing as they walked in to class. Elphaba felt like all of the other girls on campus for a moment, laughing with friends, walking to class together, it felt good to have a friend.
