A/N: Yay for chapter two. Now for the real body switch ;D. Hope you like it, miss Demlurina ^^
In the next day, Elphaba woke up before Galinda, as usual. She opened her eyes slowly, letting her senses come back to her. At first, she was surprised. Her blankets seem so soft...softier than before.
The girl shrugged, ignoring that fact, sitting to stretch herself.
Only then, she finally realized...she was in Galinda's bed. Alright, how weird was that? And worst...it was embarassing. But Elphaba could swear that she layed on the right bad...
'Wait just a clocktick' she tought, by noticing a blond trace of hair near her face. Elphaba frowned, taking her hands at the level of her eyes.
No. It couldn't be...that was impossible. Her skin was no longer green, it was...white, in that creamy tone typical of...the giliken.
'No. No...oh, sweet Lurline. By the Unnamed God or...whatever!" pissed, Elphaba got up of the bed, going straight at the bathroom, afraid of staring at her own face and finding out her speculations were right.
The girl took a deep breath and stared at her reflex. Long blond curly hair, bright blue eyes, short...that was impossible! She indeed was in the body of Galinda Upland! That was way, way, way worse than having green skin!
Desperate, she ran, going straight to her body, shaking it. She had no idea what to expect of it. Probably Galinda inside of it:
"Ahn, miss Galinda? Whoever is inside there, wake up!" her last word sounded a little high-pitched, like when her blond roomate was getting excited. Elphaba would have to learn how to control that. Specially if, by Oz, she remained there forever.
"Eww, miss Elphaba. What do you want with me now? Wait, there's something wrong with my voice..." the green girl had to admit. She was kinda relieved that was Galinda in her body and not someone she didn't know.
"Yeah, yeah. But, look, miss Galinda. Don't look at me, at least not now. I have to tell you something..."
"What? Miss Elphaba, what are talking abo..." the blonde turned around abruptly, Elphaba stared at her own eyes admiting a shocked expression. And then, her voice screaming. She covered Glinda's (or her owns, for that matter) mouth, shushing her.
"Shh! Calm down, miss Galinda. Me too, don't have the slightest idea of what in Oz is happening" said Elphaba, uncovering her roomate's mouth.
"Just tell me that I'm not you..."
"Well..." Galinda gulped, taking her hand at the level of her eye, like Elphaba did before. Then...she fainted.
"Galinda? Galinda! By Oz! Don't kill my body!" she shaked her roomate.
"I am green! Worst, I am YOU!" tears started falling from her eyes. She was desperate.
"Galinda, don't cry! By Lurline, don't cry!"
"Why...? AHH!" she covered her face with her hands "I'm...I'm feeling burned! What in Oz is this?"
"I'm allergic to water. I know, I know. It sounds impossible, but trust me, it isn't."
All Galinda could say was "How do you take shower?"
"I don't. I use oil" Galinda's face took another desperate expression, almost like she was about to faint again. Elphaba shaked her, taking Galinda out of this state.
"But don't worry! I'll teach you how to live with this. After all, this thing is temporary, right?" that was, obviously, the question both of them feared.
"It has to be. Oh, sweet Lurline...then, I can't cry, take a shower and...drink water? I have to look like I'm a nerd and a rebel. And I need to stay close to...Nessarose? Oh, no. No! I can't do that!"
"Ah! What about me? I have to pretend to be snob and shallow, smiling all the time, like I'm the symbol of perfection. And the worst, I'll have to stand Shenshen and Pfanee! How do you think I'll deal with this?" Galinda's body (or Elphaba's, in this case) shaked, but she got control of herself.
"You're right, miss Elphaba. You cannot do that. Oh, by Lurline..." Elphaba ignored her commentary.
"Alright, let's try to reason. There's got to be a way to revert this. Any ideas?" Elphaba put a hand on her chin, frowning. Galinda gazed at her own face with that expression, noticing how her essence seemed to be different. Even in her body, the energy emanating there was of her roomate. And for the first time, the blondie realized how ingenuous she seemed to be, behind all that mature mask. Her thoughts were interrupted by her own voice.
"This can only be magic. And the only person who messes with this thing in Shiz is Madam Morrible...but I don't trust her for us to tell about this. And I believe that you are way to ashamed to let anyone know. I don't know what to do, miss Galinda. I'm sorry, can't find a solution."
"But we can't go out like this! How are we gonna fake it in front of the whole school?"
"We have to try! I'll chose something for you to dress, and you chose me something."
"And I'll do your hair" said Galinda, annoyed. "And the make up"
"Urgh, alright. And then, you'll grab my books, I don't take any and let's see what happens" Galinda sighed.
"O-kay".
