Chapter 2! How will Galinda handle this?
Galinda dragged Elphaba down the hall, praying that none of her friends would show up. It was embarrassing enough to have the green girl as her roommate, but if Galinda was seen with her like this, her life would be over. She had worked too hard to have her reputation be ruined by Elphaba because she decided that now would be a good time to get amnesia. Galinda really didn't want to do this, but she had to. She wanted to get rid of the problem as quickly as possible.
"Nessa, I have a problem." she said as soon as the younger girl opened the door.
"Oh. Splendid." Nessa seemed to share her sister's sarcasm. Galinda walked into the room, pulling Elphaba with her before closing the door. Nessa turned her wheelchair to face the two. "What's wrong?"
"Well, Miss Elphaba and I had a fight and she bumped her head and now, well… she has amnesia." Nessa looked unimpressed.
"Seriously. What's the problem?"
"I just told you!" Nessa sighed. "Oh, you don't believe me? Well, find out for yourself. Go on." Nessa looked at her sister.
"Elphaba?" Elphaba looked at her sister.
"Yes?"
"See seems fine to me."
"Ask her if she knows you."
"Of course she knows me! I'm her sister!"
"Elphaba, who is that?' Galinda asked, pointing to Nessa. Elphaba looked at the brunette and paused.
"Um… I should know her, right? I'm sorry." Nessa was taken aback, but only for a second.
"Elphaba, it's me. Nessarose."
"That's a pretty name."
"I'm your sister."
"I have a sister?" The green girl's eyes grew wide. Nessa looked from Galinda to Elphaba.
"You… you don't know me?"
"No…"
"Fabala…" Nessa whispered, using the pet name she knew Elphaba hated. No reaction. "Oh, Elphaba! What happened to you?" Nessa turned to the blonde angrily.
"What did you do?"
"I told you, she bumped her head!"
"She bumped it pretty hard, from what I'm seeing here!"
"Well, you can fix it, right? I mean, you're her sister. You must be able to help her get her memory back."
"Are you crazy?! I can't fix something like this!"
"Would you mind if I used your restroom?" Elphaba asked.
"No. Go right ahead." Nessa said. Elphaba left the two and went into the small room, closing the door behind her. "How could you let this happen?'
"Why is this suddenly my fault?"
"You're her roommate! You're the one who keeps getting into fights with her! You must have contributed to this problem!"
"Fine! Maybe I shouldn't have let go of the book, but this still isn't my fault! If she had just admitted to taking my dress in the first place, we wouldn't have this problem."
"She didn't take your dress, I did!" Galinda stopped.
"You took it!"
"Yes! I borrowed it to have one similar made for me. I was planning on bringing it back to you tomorrow." A slow realization was coming upon Galinda.
"So… if you took it, that means that Elphaba and I had that fight for nothing." There was a pause. "Well, I feel kind of stupid."
It was then that the two girls heard the sound of water coming from a faucet.
"Uh, oh."
"What?"
"Elphaba doesn't know she's allergic to water." The two didn't move. Nessa smacked Galinda's arm.
"Ow!" the blonde whined.
"Don't just stand there, stop her!" Galinda scowled before running to the bathroom, grabbing Elphaba, and pulling her out.
"Elphaba, are you all right?" Nessa asked, grabbing her sister's wet hands and inspecting them.
"I'm fine. What's wrong?"
"You're allergic to water. When it touches you, it burns your skin."
"It does?"
"Yes."
"I don't think so." Galinda was about to reply when Nessa looked up, mouth slightly agape.
"She's right."
"What?!" Galinda grabbed one of Elphaba's hands and looked at it. Nessa had spoken the truth. There were no red marks on the green girl and Elphaba didn't seem to be in any pain.
"Sweet Oz. Elphaba's amnesia cured her water allergy."
