What happens when Elphaba finds a spell and accidentally switches lives with Galinda? Mayhem! Set after the Lion Cub incident, but before Elphaba gets the letter from the wizard. Fiyerba fluff!
No, I have never seen the play, but I know what happens, and I know just about as much as people who have seen it before. (I'll see it this summer! :D)
Enjoy and let me know what you think! :)

Elphaba stood on the ladder in the library, scanning through the dusty old books looking for something interesting to read. The library was disserted, as it normally was, and she enjoyed the solitude. Her green fingers skimmed over the spine of a book battered and faded with age. Elphaba pulled it out and flipped through the pages. She stopped at a random page and looked at the text. Spell and charm incantations lay before her, along with an explanation of what the spell would do. She closed it and hopped down, her eyes sparkling at the prospect of learning. She checked out her book and raced through the halls toward the stairway that led to the roof. As she passed people in the hallway, she tried to ignore the stares, whispers, and occasional rude remark or insulting nickname thrown her way. She turned the corner with her head down and kept walking. Ignorant people. She had learned to ignore them by now, but it still stung a little.
She looked up quickly to make sure she wasn't about to run into anyone and saw Galinda and her posse gathered around chatting. Fiyero, the scandalous Winkie Prince, (as well as Galinda's boyfriend) stood to the side looking bored, yet pleased with being around so many cute girls. He saw Elphaba coming and flashed her a small, warm smile. Elphaba ducked her head as she felt heat rushing to her cheeks.

Damn him! She thought as she rounded another corner almost at a run, coming to her flight of stairs.

Why does he have to be so darn cute?!

She normally wasn't one to fall for boys, not to mention blush if they actually smiled at her. She never blushed at anything! But ever since the Lion Cub incident, she had developed a small crush on Fiyero. Okay, so she had kind of had a crush on him before the Lion Cub rescue, but now it was bigger. Much bigger. She had realized that there was a smart, thinking Fiyero behind the playboy façade he put on. A Fiyero that felt and cared about more than just girls. Plus, he was really cute.
She came to the door at the top of the stairs and pushed it open onto a small section of the roof. A small table with a chair was off to one side, and a bench sat looking out over the school yard. She had gotten permission from the librarians to work up here and she had decided to add some furniture. Now it was her own private area where she could do what she pleased without interferences from other students. She sighed happily and sat down on the bench with her book. She flipped through the pages, every now and then stopping to read a spell, occasionally saying the incantation in her mind. She stopped at one spell and read the description next to it.

'Switcher Spell. Causes anyone within the vicinity of the cast to think the caster is someone of the casters choosing.'

Elphaba raised her eyebrows at that. A spell that would basically cause you to switch lives with someone else. Her mind drifted to Galinda. Her life was perfect. She was adored by everyone, and got everything she wanted. "What I wouldn't give for a day or so in her shoes." Elphaba grunted.

Shaking her head, she returned her attention back to the spell. The incantation looked harder than the other spells, and she smirked, happy to have something to challenge her. She read over the incantation in her mind a few times, before trying it out loud to see how it sounded and felt on her tongue.

"Ah ta te tum Ke laume te, Ah ta te tum Ke laum te." She murmured. She frowned. She was hoping the spell would have been at least a little more challenging to say, but she had finished it with ease. She closed the book and stood up. She had been out there longer than she thought, and the sun was setting behind the Shiz towers. She gathered her things and left the roof, starting towards her dorm.

When she reached her dorm door, she could hear squealing and giggling on the other side. She groaned, but opened the door non-the-less, preparing herself for her bubbly roomie.

Galinda was sitting on her bed, bouncing up and down with one of the girls that normally followed her around. Elphaba shut the door rather loudly to let them know she was there, and crossed the room to her bed. As soon as she was in sight, the two popular girls stopped giggling and sat there glaring at her.

"Elphie, that was awfully rude to slam the door." Galinda said, once the green girl had sat on her bed with a wump. Said green girl only grunted in response and opened back up the book of spells.

"I think I should go Galinda." The other girl (was it Pfanee?) said. "It's gotten a little too green in here for my liking." She shot a nasty glare at Elphaba and picked up her things. Galinda accompanied her to the door, whispering something in her ear, shooting a small glance at Elphaba. Pfanee nodded and spoke up. "Goodnight Miss Galinda." Then hurried out the door.

"Good riddance." Elphaba muttered with her nose still in the pages of the book. She heard the door close and looked up to see a very annoyed Galinda walking back into the room.

"Miss Elphaba, could you at least try to get along with people?" she asked while starting to remove her pounds of makeup.

"No." Elphaba replied, starting to read again.

"You need to make more friends." Galinda stated. "Oo! I know!" she exclaimed, beginning to bounce up and down. "I could give you another makeover!"

"No." Elphaba said, still not coming up out of her book.

Galinda's bouncing stopped and she sat there pouting. "Please Elphie?" she pleaded with her best puppy dog face.

Elphaba snapped her book shut and looked up at Galinda.
"No. I don't want another makeover." She cringed slightly at the word. "Besides, it wouldn't do any good." She finished as she pulled on a nightgown and crawled into her bed. Galinda pouted some more, but let the matter drop. She finished her nightly rituals and got in her pink infested bed.
"Good night Elphie. Fresh dreams!" she said as she turned off her light. Only a grunt was heard from the other bed.


Okay, tell me what you thought of it! Yes, this is my first ever musicalverse, so don't be to harsh please, I'm used to writting bookverse. Consturctive critisism is appreciated, but no flames.
The more reviews I get, the sooner the next chapter will go up! So please review!
(Also tell me if I got Galinda's name right. I don't know when she changes it in the play, so let me know if it's supposed to be Glinda or not.)
