Galinda's POV
The next morning, I shifted and shook Elphaba's shoulder.
"Morning, sis," I whispered gently.
"Hey, Glinny," she smiled at me.
"Elphie," I began.
"Yes?" she asked.
I shifted and pressed my ear against her chest.
"Galinda, what are you doing?" she asked.
"Calming down," I replied.
She stared at me and I turned and stared up at her. "Think about it, Elphie. The first real sound I heard was your heartbeat. And the first sound you heard was my heartbeat. It's actually very soothing," I said, calmly.
She smiled and said, "OK, whatever you say, Glinny."
I hugged her and said, "So, what's the schedule?"
"Breakfast, then meet with Madame Morrible and our parents, find out if I'm staying—which will hopefully happen—lunch, spend the rest of the day with our parents, and then they leave after dinner," she replied.
I grinned and said, "Let's go eat!"
She laughed and said, "I think we should get out of our pajamas first, Glinny."
I looked down and said, "Good idea."
We quickly changed and I challenged, "Race ya to breakfast, Elphie."
"You're on, Glinny," she challenged.
With that, we raced to breakfast.
