Hello again! Here's my update! I hope you all had a great Christmas and roll on the new year! I'm so happy because I've finally got the Grimmerie and the wizard of Oz 75th annual book! Yay!

So...in this chapter I would say this is the part where my rated T is at it's highest. Not because of Elphaba and Galinda but because Milla tries to force herself onto Galinda. I'll let you read on to know what I'm talking about. It isn't very detailed plus nothing too bad happens but anyways I'll leave you to read. Also after this chapter will be when Lurlinemas and the sense of family begins to commence. Anyways Enjoy thank you for reading/viewing. R&R would be great thanks (: x

Galinda felt disinclined to open her eyes to awaken from her warm slumber although when she had discovered a certain warm verdant figure was not nestled beside her she groaned and forced herself to wake up properly. She knew Elphaba always rose early, never actually understood the word 'sleep' which always was so 'confusifying' to Galinda.

"elphaba...?" no answer. She moaned again and laid back down on her fluorescent duvet, stretching her whole body in one straight line and then arching her back to release the tension that had crept into it over the night. She could still smell the longing scent of the third descending on her pillow, she took it in and then smiled in bliss in the moment. When she was ready she went to run the bath and waited for an adequate amount of water to be filled. The frottican looked herself up and down in the mirror pleased at what she saw yet she couldn't help but alter the position of the golden curls settling over her shoulders she smirked at herself. When the bath was ready she dunked herself in. She gasped at the astonishing heat and comfort that took over her senses as it smothered every inch of her body. Closing her eyes she allowed herself sometime to contemplate: home, Lurlinemas, shopping, and most of all Elphaba paraded around in her mind. All of those elements helped her luxuriate in her bath: all made her feel a sense of serenity which was just what she needed. Once she had washed herself she got out of the tub and dried herself off. To Galinda's annoyance there was a knock at the door.

"Elphaba?"

"No it's Milla, I need to talk to you Galinda."

"I don't wish to talk to you, plus I'm not decent!"

"Decent most probably means you haven't got any make up on, seriously you have no need to worry."

Quite frankly Galinda felt like she should just let her in so she could give her a good piece of her mind and Clip her precisely on the nose. She knew Milla only went along as a sheep at Pfannee's side however Galinda, she ultimately had enough.

Grudgingly she opened the door and let her in. She tucked the towel deeper into the side of her arm to keep it up and stop it from dropping. Milla being of her social class and being well...a so called "friend" she needn't have modesty. Milla's eyes scanned her up and down whilst smiling coquettishly at the blonde. This didn't pass Galinda's view, she swallowed at what appeared to be an imaginary knot in her throat. Milla broke the silence as she crept closer to the petit blonde.

"Your up suprisingly early aren't you?"

"Yes well I guess my body had believed itself to be awoken."

"Indeed...yours has certainly awoken mine Galinda." Milla replied huskily.

"What do you want Milla?" Galinda was beginning to feel uncomfortable at hearing that, seeing the way Milla was looking at her was infurifying! she felt like a bug caught beneath a glass that was being gawked at, accept this was Milla looking at her, looking fixedly. Milla laughed at her question.

"i think it's a little obvious don't ya think?...want me to give you a hint? Drop that towel." Milla nodded her head towards the blonde's towel.

'My! Sweet Lurline did she just ask me to drop my towel? Why in the world is this happening? how am I going to get her out of here? come on Elphaba hurry, where can she be?' All these questions escalated in the blondes head.

"Miss Milla how absurd!-"

"How thrillifying Galinda! I only wish to see you...you don't know how long I've waited to actually show you how I feel about you, women in all honesty. I've always liked you Galinda. I know it is seen as unnatural in our society but-" The brunette stepped closer as Galinda interrupted her.

"Whoa stop right there Milla, you're going about it in the wrong way I dare say, asking me to drop my towel!"

Milla ignored her and leaned right into the blonde so that they were breathing in the same air. Milla welcomed herself into the blonde's personal area.

"Shush" Milla placed her finger on Galinda's full lips. " such a beautiful aroma and form of the gillikin descent. The blonde didn't know whether Milla was talking about her, her perfume or both, she guessed both as a safe bet which caused her to blush and turn her face away from Milla's touch.

"Milla this is stupid, I need to get dressed." Milla tugged at her towel trying to undo the hold in hopes to see the blonde's naked form before her very own eyes. She became aroused at the thought. "Milla! GET OFF ME!" Galinda yelled shoving her as hard as she could.

Back in the grounds Elphaba examined her knuckles, her hand still in pain and shaking at what she had done. Shenshen knelt down beside Pfannee placing a hand on her unconscious form. Elphaba peered into Shensen's unreadable gaze which then turned into a withering smile.

"Miss Elphaba go I will make sure nothing will be said about this, just leave and make sure the 'Rabbit' receives medical attention." Elphaba could not believe what she had just heard, was Shenshen on her side? Before asking the question she scooped the Rabbit into her palms and held it close to her chest.

"If I am not mistaken, it seems you have had a change of heart."

"If that is what you wish to call it. I just believe what she did was wrong and I'm not pleased with what I did to you either so anyway go." Shenshen gave her a quick smile.

"thank you."

"Don't." She refused the gratitude and continued."Whatever your name may be Rabbit I will take care of your Babies until you are to return, I will make sure Miss Pfannee does not have any encounter involving them again...I have my wand."

"Thank you, both of you." The Rabbit replied.

Elphaba went straight to Doctor Dillamond and the nurse on the premises for help.

"Doctor Dillamond! this Rabbit is in pain so I came to seek medical attention from you and you Madame.

"Oh dear Miss Elphaba, I can smell it" he hurried on his hooves, quickly trotting over to see what had yet to be done."

"My Lavera its you!"

"Dillamond! Oh how are you my friend."

"Very well thank you." He smiled as he bowed holding a Hoove near his chest in greeting. " we will get you fixed in a jiffy."

"You know each other?" Elphaba said placing Lavera down carefully. She straightened her hind leg.

"Thank you my dear and yes we go way back."

Doctor Dillamond smiled at Elphaba and then looked at the nurse.

"please Madame we need to fetch bandage supplies. Bandage or splint care may be all that is needed to correct the limb problem, but if the condition is of a more severe nature, such as joint deformities, fractures, abscesses, then surgery may be done to repair or remove the cause of the disability. However I do not very much fear it will be needed, will it?

"No sir."

"Good, good... And thank you Elphaba for your help."

"You are most welcome Doctor Dillamond."

"Yes Elphaba thank you for your help, I really am grateful my dear, no human has showed that much concern for an animal or Animal such as myself so I thank you." The Rabbit bowed her head and lowered her ears to show her gratitude.

Elphaba gave her a firm nod. Before leaving she said

"I see Animals like any other citizen and I am willing to help whenever Animals or animals are concerned."

Milla went tumbling backwards, plummeting down to the floor. She groaned at the impact, nonetheless she pushed herself from of the wooden floor and licked her lips at the sight of the blonde heaving, her breasts rising up and down underneath her towel, ample mounds Milla thought.

"Are you playing hard to get with me Galinda."

"No, I'm playing I don't have a raging desire to be molested by you!"

"Hahaha... Galinda I would never harm you and Oz you didn't have to push me so hard." The frottican ignored that.

"Then why are you trying to come on to me."

"I know you like women Galinda, I've seen how you've looked at my body, a way in which a woman should not be looking at another woman. Also Because I want you, I've wanted you in a long time." Milla was becoming tired of her protests and advanced on her, face broadening into a playful snarl in excitement. She pinned Galinda between the wall and her own body. "I want you Glin." She buried her face into the frottican's neck and placed delicate kisses at its base and gradually worked her way down. She placed her hand on Galinda's chest, thrusting her hand down the towel wrapped around the blonde and felt her breasts, giving them a firm squeeze. She groaned as she felt the warmth and the weight of them in her palms. Galinda squeaked and pushed her back and slapped her, fumbling with her towel she retrieved her wand from inside of the desk draw.

"Don't you dare call me that, you do not get to call me that! I warned you now get out before Elphaba gets back!" Elphaba had heard the exclamation from the other side of the door. Her brow furrowed with her head becoming blotched with depths of worry. She fumbled with her skirt to find the key to the dorm room and barged in.

"Speaking of me I am back, so what's happening?" As calm as her voice seemed Elphaba was fighting the worry and anger which was welcomed into her mind. She saw Galinda in her towel, her wand posed at her side, she was staring at Milla intently.

"Same time again Galinda?" Milla said in an innocent,softened tone.

"What! Nothing ever happened you tried to touch me without my consent you-!" the blonde looked startled. Elphaba put two and two together. she tensed up at the thought.

"Yes well...I didn't get very far now did I?" Milla shrugged at her own reply, laughing huskily before she went to make her exit. Elphaba latched onto her, barricading the door with her.

"Now you listen here and you listen good, you touch her again, you wait and see. I can tell people what you have done, what would that do to a woman of your social class, enlighten me!" The third descending's eyes were wide with bottled anger. Milla simply scoffed.

"Nothing because they wouldn't believe you."

" I have powers Milla, magic I can manipulate, who's here to say I can't manipulate you or someone else under its encouragement?" Milla gulped at that, worry spread across her face.

"I would not like to find out Miss Elphaba."

"Good...now get out." Milla obeyed to Elphaba's gentle yet firm command, her eyes said everything. They were threatening.

When Milla had gone Elphaba closed the door and walked up to the blonde who was shivering from the cold that had cast into the room. She looked paler than usual and that was saying something. Elphaba could see a dark tinge of a blue storm happening in the middle of her irises. They looked different as if to alert her of a change in the blonde's mood. Not perky but serious, dead serious, something that was rather unlike Galinda, yes she could be serious however to Elphaba it seemed different.

"Are you okay Glin?"

Galinda shut her eyes as if the words had stung. She tried to block out Milla's words. "I want you Glin.."

"I'm fine, she just threw me, never in my life did I expect Milla would do that." Elphaba being as she was asked her frankly

"Did she touch you...inappropriately?"

"She pinned me up against the wall and touched my..my chest and kissed me on my neck but that was it, I stopped her." She noticed Elphaba's eyes going into that glazed over look whenever she got angry or was thinking in great detail.

"Elphaba it's fine before you start blaming yourself for not being here, no one was to know that this situation were to occur. I'm just glad you came when you did. There's no need to be angry, I do not want anymore said about it, let's just go back to being happy please?"

She cupped the verdant girls face but frowned when she saw her eyes were still glazed over. Galinda tapped her cheek lightly. No response. She swatted at it several times. Still no response. She slapped it, not to hard but not to gentle either.

"Hey!"

"Well! It really is annoying when you do that and quite frankly weird, it moodifies me." Elphaba laughed at that.

"Sorry I was just thinking moodified thoughts."

"Well don't, I want my smoochy little Elphie." The blonde pouted, giving her an innocent look. Elphaba always had a weak spot for that famous pout. No one could make it look cute like Galinda could. Cute? God her vocabulary was being diminished! However it was a good way of describing her in this moment in time. Elphaba gave her a chaste kiss on the cheek and blushed at Galinda who was smirking and biting her lip. Galinda gave her a fierce hug whilst bouncing on her tiptoes and squealing. Elphaba felt herself gasping for air. For a girl with a petit frame, she had a strong grip.

"Okay, I can't breath! It looks like you've reached your natural perky self again." Galinda giggled.

"So it may seem my little, green food dyed muffin." Elphaba looked at her In a distorted way in a little bit of disgust."

"Please don't call me that again."

"Aww how about my little green, jelly baby? You know those are my favourite, they have the best taste." Elphaba shot her a look, raising a sculpted brow.

"I don't know what's worse that or both."

" oh hush you mean green thing."

"Oh is that what I am now, huh? I say I like that better." Elphaba smirked as she said it.

"Wow...no change with you then."

"Nope."

"Although it annoys me, I wouldn't want your humble yet selfly smug confident, kind, sarcastic whit and charm any other way." The frottican had placed both hands on Elphaba's arms that were hanging at her sides. That's when Elphaba noticed.

"Um...Glin..your...eh...well still in your towel?" The frottican looked down at herself and smiled quickly

"Oh so it seems, well I'll just get dressed." Galinda walked over to her bed where her dress was laying. She undid the towel, letting it drop like a pool at her feet and begun to clothe herself. Elphaba thought she might die, her eyes widened at her roommates lack of modesty and she turned away.

"A warning would of been nice Glin!"

"Oh it was obvious what was going to come next Elphie."

"You could have got changed in the bathroom."

"The floor is tiled in their Elphie, my feet would of been like blocks of ice, certainly not!" Elphaba rolled her eyes "You'll Live" she thought.

When Galinda was done they both decided to go down to the high street to grab a quick coffee in a nearby coffee shop. Galinda sat sipping her Latte looking around in awe at the warmth it radiated. It had a cosy, intimate feeling to it. Wooden frames on mirrors, the carpet filled with brown, and orangey Aztec designs with floral borders. Wooden shelves which had carvings of flowers and people engraved into it, lavish curtains in cascading tendrils. Light was slightly dim, making the place look settled. Very homely. Elphaba on the other hand was sitting back drinking an apple cider, book in the other hand. She glanced at the blonde, however short, it was long enough that Galinda noticed. All the frottican could see was Elphaba's brown eyes that were cordial, peaking from behind her book, her glasses hanging at the end of her nose. The frottican laughed to herself causing Elphaba's eyes to crinkle and raise, emitting a smile. To Galinda this was home. Elphaba made her feel at ease, even in silence she felt comfortable because it was a mutual way of relaxing, feeling comfort in just the presence of the other.

Ten minutes later Boq, Crope, Tibbett and Fiyero all walked in with a rivalry of banter exchanged between them. The third descending looked up from her book.

"Oh look it's the munchkin and his three disciples." Galinda made a face at Elphaba.

Fiyero noticed Galinda and Elphaba and called the others over.

"Why, what a pleasant surprise to see you two here, care if we join?" The question appeared rhetorical since they had already sat down to accompany them.

"Why yes Master Fiyero, it's good to see me isn't it?" Elphaba said in a joyful tone, flashing him with what she hoped to be a convincing smile. He frowned but smiled at her sarcasm. Galinda kicked her.

"That was my line Elphie!" The third descending poked her tongue out at the blonde.

"Oh Elphie how we love your sarcastic self" Crope and Tibbett said in unison.

After that night in the Coffee shop, all became close friends, a knitted union. In Elphaba's case it was a group of similar minds 'alike' (which was her excuse for not saying friends). They became the charmed circle and to Elphaba...she wondered if this is what it felt like to be in a family.

So there you have it. It's a little fluffy at the end and it's only going to get fluffier! I'm quite pleased with this chapter. So yeah. Next chapter will be the settling of winter and the exploitation of friendship between all of them leading up to Lurlinemas. Will Milla join the charmed circle? Maybe in hopes of bad intentions or just out of wanting forgiveness? Had to put that out there :# thanks for reading (:
