Day 3: Dress Salons

"Elphie, what do you think of this dress?" Glinda asked as she held the garment up to herself.

"It's nice, like the other dozen you showed me in the past minute," Elphaba replied, as she watched the blonde put the dress away. "Glinda, you already bought three new dresses today. Don't you think that's enough?"

"But, Elphie, I'm finding all these great deals!" Glinda answered, as she found another dress. "What do you think about this one?"

"I don't get why you want my opinion. I don't get fashion," Elphaba said, as she took a seat on a near by chair.

"It's always nice to have a second opinion about things," Glinda replied, as she walked over to the green woman and pulled her up. "Let's look over here." Elphaba gave a quiet sigh and followed her girlfriend. "Oh, Elphaba, stop huffing and puffing and look for something that you might like."

"These items are all too sparkly or too outlandish for my taste," Elphaba answered, as her eyebrows narrowed.

"Oh, don't be so quick to judge. Ooh! Look at this dress! Sweet Oz it's gorgeous!" Glinda exclaimed as she found a poofy pink dress. "I'm so buying this." The green woman couldn't help but cackle quietly as she watched Glinda nearly drool over the new found dress.

"And what are you laughing about?" Glinda questioned.

"You're just so funny when you find a dress you like," Elphaba replied, as she snaked an arm around the blonde woman's waist.

"Well don't laugh too hard. You act the same way when you find a rare book of some kind. You act like you found a diamond when you pick out a book," Glinda answered.

"I already found my diamond," Elphaba whispered, as she kissed Glinda on the lips quickly.

"You know, Elphie, you can be quite romantic when you want to be," Glinda answered, as another dress caught her eye. "Ooh, this one is pretty too."

"Why don't you buy out the entire store, so we can go?" Elphaba said, with a sigh.

"Oh, Elphie, I can't do that," Glinda said, with a laugh. "Our closet in our room is far too small."

"Damn our small closet space," The green woman answered, her voice monotone.

"Indeed," Glinda replied, as she picked up another dress. "I'm just going to try these on. I'll be just a tick tock."

"All right," Elphaba answered, as she began to wandered around the store.

After what seemed like forever Glinda came back out with three dresses in her arms. A huge smile could be seen across her face, and Elphaba knew that meant she was going to buy all the dresses she had in her arms.

"What took you so long?" Elphaba asked.

"Dress selecting takes time," Glinda answered, as she watched the green woman's mouth curl to one side.

"So you're done shopping, right?"

"Well..." Glinda began.

"Glinda, please, we have been in so many different apparel stores today. I think you have shopped enough," Elphaba said, as she folded her arms over her chest. "We didn't come to the Emerald City just to shop you know."

"Oh, just give me a few more minutes, and I promise, I will be done. Please, just a few more minutes," Glinda begged, as she gave the green woman the biggest puppy dog eyes.

Elphaba gave out a deep sigh but answered, "All right a few more minutes."

"Thank you!" Glinda exclaimed, as she kissed her girlfriend on the check, before heading off to the back of the store.

Elphaba just shook her head and fixed her hat. It wasn't long before the green woman heard a faint yell and quickly fled to the back of the store. When she made it to there she saw Glinda rolling on the ground with a red headed woman. Each one of them had a hold on the same dress as they rolled around to gain possession of the article of clothing.

"Let go!" Glinda shouted.

"No! I saw this dress first!" The red headed woman yelled back

"The hell you did!" Glinda retorted, as she got to her feet and began to drag the other woman around.

"Glinda what is going on here?" Elphaba asked, not sure what to do.

"I saw this dress first, but this stupid one here is trying to take it from me!" Glinda answered. She showed no signs of letting go of the dress.

"She's lying I saw it first, and she tried to take it from me!" The red head answered, as she hung on as she was dragged around.

"Okay, both are you just let go of the dress," Elphaba said, realizing she had to break them up.

"No!" Both of them said at the same time.

"I want the dress!"

"Well I say it first you red headed nightmare!"

"Oh, just shut up you blonde devil."

"Silence!" Elphaba yelled, as she stood in front of Glinda, so she couldn't pull the other woman around and then grabbed the dress. "You two both let go of the dress now, or I'll ripe it from your hands myself!"

After hearing the angry tone in the green woman's voice the dress was soon released. Elphaba then looked at the dress before adding, "In fact I'm going to buy this dress."

"Oh, Elphie, you can't! It won't fit you!" Glinda whined.

"I am buying it. I'll use it for a rag or something. But no one should get into a fight over a dress. Now, Glinda, you go pay for the dresses you have, and I'll meet you outside the store."

Glinda let loose an sad sigh and said, "If I had two more minutes I would have gotten that dress from that red headed meany," With that she walked off.

Ten minutes passed before Elphaba joined Glinda outside. The green woman didn't say a word as she held out the bag, to the blonde, with the dress that had a fight break out because of it.

"Elphie?" Glinda questioned.

"I'm not using the dress as a rag. I bought it for you," Elphaba replied.

"Oh, Elphie, you are the best!" Glinda exclaimed, as she wrapped her arms around the green woman and kissed her deeply. "I love you! I love you!"

"What can I say? My plan worked," Elphaba replied.

"Plan?" Glinda questioned.

"Yup, I pretended I was going to buy it and use it as a rag, so I could get it away from the red headed woman and then buy it for you," Elphaba answered.

"You are just so smart," Glinda replied, as she gave the green woman another passionate kiss. As she kissed her green love, she opened her eyes to see the red headed woman coming out the store. Without breaking the kiss Glinda removed the new dress from the bag and waved it so the red headed woman could see.

The red headed woman just gave a huff in defeat, and stomped off, as Glinda just deepened the kiss as a sign of victory.
