Day 26: The Throwing Lesson
"Elphie, how does one throw a stone so it skips across the water?" Glinda asked, as she stared out into the lake in the park. Her and Elphaba had taken a stroll through the Emerald City Park, and now they were taking a brief rest on a bench.
"Didn't you learn to throw stones when you were a child?" Elphaba replied.
"My parents found it un-lady like to do such things," Glinda answered, as she bent down and looked over a small stone that laid at her feet.
"I learned to throw stones at a very early age," Elphaba said, as she picked up a flat stone and stood up. "You can say I used some kid as targets."
"Oh, Elphie, you wicked thing you," Glinda replied, with a giggle, as she picked up a stone herself and followed the green woman near the lake.
"One needs to throw a stone just right, so it can fly across the water. There are some techniques to it of course."
"Like what?" Glinda asked.
"Well first one must have the right stone. If you try to throw a round stone it will just stink. You need a flat stone, if you wish, to have it skip across the water. Second, you must throw the stone with the flick of your wrist. You can't throw the stone like a ball because it won't be able to skip across the water. Third the stone can't be too big or too small. It's need to be in the medium size stone if you wish it to skip. With those three things you have a good chance in getting a stone to skip across the water.
After those words were spoken Elphaba threw her stone, and it did skip across the water three times before disappearing in the water.
"You try, my sweet," Elphaba said, as she moved her head to the side slightly for a movement like she was stretching it.
"All right," Glinda answered, as she threw the stone she had, but the stone didn't skip. It just vanished with a blip into the water.
"I should add that along with technique, it takes practice as well," Elphaba said, as she patted her blonde girlfriend on the back.
"Oh, now you tell me," Glinda replied, as she looked for another stone. "You must keep in mind, as well, this the first time I have thrown something like this. Oh, if my parents could see me now. They would yell at me for acting so un-lady like,"
"Good thing they aren't here then," Elphaba answered, as she threw another stone across the water's surface.
"Oh now you are just showing off," Glinda muttered, as she picked up another stone and threw it but it didn't skip across the water. It once again sunk down into the murky water with a light blip.
"Don't worry, Glinda you will get it. It all comes with practice," Elphaba said, as she watched the blonde pick up another stone.
"Let's forget about throwing stones. I'm much more interested in practicing kissing. It's lot more fun," Glinda replied, with a purr as she wrapped her arms around a verdant neck.
"I couldn't agree with you more," Elphaba said, as she pressed her lips to Glinda's.
The blonde deepen the kiss and threw the stone that was in her hand over her shoulder. Even though neither of the two women saw it the stone, Glinda had thrown, skipped across the water twice before disappearing under the water's surface.
