"Please, please, can I come?" Galinda was practically clinging to Elphaba's ankles in order not to let her go without her.

"You're scared of heights and you would not be comfortable, physically." Elphie repeated her arguments for the hundredth time. She had scheduled her weekly flight over the extended school grounds for tonight, just for practice, but also relaxation and a little bit of fun. She wouldn't quite mind taking her girlfriend, but Galinda was not going to enjoy it and so it would benefit them both to not make her a part of it.

"But we haven't seen each other all day", Galinda pouted. "You've been so busy with school work and I've tried to teach Miss Shenshen my dance routine... and failed miserably, by the way. She is not born to move rhythmically. Anyway, I miss you and I never see you anymore and you have to take me with you."

Elphaba sighed. "As you wish, my sweet. But you cannot complain when you're cold or seasick or bored..."

"Done!" Galinda jumped to her feet and gave Elphaba a quick kiss on the cheek. "Let's go."

Elphie sighed again, but smiled as she grabbed her broom and let Galinda pull her out of the dorm room.

"You better take another jacket, the nights are starting to get cold", she tried one last attempt in limiting Galinda's discomfort that she would for sure have to endure soon.

"You don't have to protect me, Miss Elphie."

"Alright then."

They arrived at the grassed hill that Elphaba usually started her broom-rides from. Galinda had become visibly nervous. Elphie decided to ignore it.

"Okay, now just hop on behind me", she instructed as she mounted the broomstick.

"But my dress...", Galinda began, but the green girl just had to turn around and give her a look to shut her up. Galinda clumsily swung one leg over the hovering wood and held on tight to Elphie's waist.

"Are you ready, my sweet?"

"As ready as I'll ever be", the blonde murmured, already regretting her most recent life choices.

"And off we go!" Elphaba gently leapt up and Galinda squealed and hugged her girlfriend's midriff even tighter.

"Will you let me breathe?", Elphaba's voice came from the front, half concerned, half amused.

"Sorry." Galinda loosened her grip for a second, but in that moment Elphie decided to fly their first curve and with a welp, Galinda revoked that decision.

"I can't believe you talked me into this", she called, squeezing her eyes shut and holding on to Elphie for dear life, even though they were only a few feet above the ground.

Elphaba rolled her eyes and laughed as she yanked the broomstick upwards, right toward the moon. Galinda screamed.

"What in Oz' name are you doing?! You're going to kill us both, and I'm going to kill you if we die! What the hell, Elphie, I thought you had done this before, what are you-" Elphaba's laughter almost covered Galinda's screams as she flew a spiral downwards and then back up again.

"Look at the view!", she called when she had established a stable altitude.

"No."

"Why not?"

"I am afraid of heights, remember?"

"I told you, this isn't your cup of tea."

"Yes it is. I regret nothing", Galinda lied not very convincingly. "I am even going to open my eyes now. Just don't do anything crazy or I might accidentally choke you."

"I love you, Galinda."

"I love you and I'm terrified." Galinda squinted, then opened one eye, then the other. The cold wind messed her hair up and blew it and also Elphie's into her face but she didn't dare letting go of her girlfriend to fix it.

"Isn't the view gorgeous?" Elphaba could apparently not be bothered by Galinda's near death experience.

"Well, the back of your head is. I haven't looked much further."

Elphaba cackled. "Look, there's our building. And I think that might be Fiyero down there, what do you think? Oh, no, it's just a scarecrow. But their style of clothing is somewhat similar, don't you think? Galinda?"

"Yeah?" Galinda had not listened to Elphaba at all, she was too busy repeating the mantra "Don't look down, don't look down" over and over again in her head. It was not as effective as she had hoped. What also did not help was Elphaba attempting another spiral maneuver dangerously close to the wall of Crage Hall. Galinda let out another involuntary scream. Some students in dimly lit dorm rooms looked up from whatever they were doing in confusion as to what the source of that noise had been.

"What made you think that was a good idea?", Galinda yelled, loud enough for the students in the closest rooms to hear.

"I'm just having fun, aren't you?", was Elphaba's unbelievable reply. "And keep your voice down just a little, please, you are embarrassing me this evening."

Galinda gasped as they made another sharp turn and ended up over the grassy hill they had taken off from. Elphaba would have kept flying but she didn't want Galinda to have a heart attack, so she decided to end the ride.

"Alright, we're going to land now. Don't panic-"

Galinda panicked, lost her balance, grabbed anything she could grab in that second, slipped off the broomstick just a few inches before their feet would have touched the ground and fell, ripping out some of Elphaba's hairs in the process.

Elphaba cursed under her breath and hopped off the broom to check on her. Galinda was laying face-down on the ground, windswept golden curls almost blending in with the fallen leaves of a nearby tree.

"Are you alright, my sweet?"

"Ouch."

Elphaba helped her get up.

"This was terrible. You're a terrible flyer and you almost killed your girlfriend. I hope you're happy."

"I, for my part, enjoyed myself quite a lot."

"Shut up."

"There's a leaf on your head." Elphaba carefully removed a small leaf from Galinda's messy, but still amazingly beautiful hair. She cupped Galinda's cheek with one hand and gently kissed her. "Thank you for coming with me and fighting your fears."

Galinda linked her fingers together behind Elphie's green neck. "Of course." She kissed her. "When are we going again?"
