Title: Shoes

Rating: PG

Type: Musical/Book

A/N: It's school. I blame it all on school. Even though I'm writing drabbles in Study Hall, it takes me forever to even remember fan fiction when I get home. And when I do I then write a pilot to Spring Awakening or The Wizard of Oz fics. I will try to get one up as soon as possible. I'm sorry for the delay. Also, I'm sorry if I never reply to the reviews. I try, and I love to talk to you guys, but some times I forget. Now that my author note is getting longer than the drabble, I'll let you guys read…


Galinda had hundreds of shoes.

Most of them resided at home next to her hundreds of purses, but a selected dozen made their way to Shiz. They sat in a glass cabinet next to her bed. A pearl encrusted cream pair that her father had bought her were on the bottom shelf. He bought them while they were vacationing by the shore. "The most lovely expensive shoes for my lovely expensive daughter," He had said. She only worn them once; her little toe kept getting squished. Canary yellow heels were gleaming on the top shelf. Her mother had bought them home from a trip to her 'mum's house. "They are all the rage!" Her mother happily announced. They made her heels bleed.

There was one pair that she loved more than any of the others, hidden in a box in a box wrapped in a blanket stuffed underneath her bed. A pair of plain black shoes with a worn out buckle. Elphaba must have forgotten them, because when Galinda came back to her room after their trip to the Emerald City, they were resting by the closet alone. She could totally relate.
