SPIN THE BOTTLE
It's their Senior Year! Elphaba, Galinda, Nessa, Fiyero, Boq, together with Pfannee, Milla and Shenshen (yes, the latter three are included, much to Elphaba's annoyance) went to a small get-together. Of course, Galinda was planning to prepare exquisite extravaganzas but Elphaba protested so they just all agreed to make it simple yet unforgettable.
"We're not going to a club", Pfannee started. "So, what now?"
"No exclusive preparations, no specific theme, what kind of get-together is this?!", Shenshen exclaimed and Milla agreed.
"Why are you guys even here, anyway?", Elphaba said.
Before Pfannee could say anything, Galinda cut in, "Why don't we just go to my private suite? I have chips, cookies and a variety of drinks in there. We can play and talk about stuff, after all, that's the essence of doing get-togethers, right?"
"That is a wonderful idea, Galinda!" Nessa smiled.
The suite wasn't that far from where they were so it didn't took long before they got there.
When they got inside the suite, Milla exclaimed in awe, "It felt like years since my last visit here, Galinda. You know, I stopped visiting when you started hanging with that veggie-" Milla didn't finish her sentence because both Pfannee and Shenshen suppressed a very loud laugh.
"Haha. That's funny", Elphaba rolled her eyes.
"She stated the obvious!", Milla shouted and the two girls laughed again.
A green light escaped Elphaba's right hand, which made the three girls stop laughing.
Silence enveloped the room. Elphaba stormed off and went to the kitchen to cool off.
No one dared to speak until Nessa tried to change the topic, "I'll go get the chips!"
She wheeled towards Galinda's large cabinet full of chips and Boq proceeded to the refrigerator to get some drinks.
The three girls were still shocked as to what happened so Fiyero tried to lighten the mood. "Galinda, can I fart here?"
"Noooooo!", Galinda said this with her glare widely directed at Fiyero and everyone laughed.
"Why not?", Fiyero said, still recovering himself from laughing.
"Because you don't have get-togethers on someone's suite to fart, Fiyero. You just don't. It's unethical!", Galinda said.
Everyone was still laughing when Boq tried to get all the attention, "Hey! I've seen this being done on get-togethers before, why don't we play, spin the bottle?"
"That is a good idea!", Elphaba walked out from the kitchen and Boq smiled. "Let's bring out the essence of this get-together!"
The three mean girls exchanged looks but didn't say anything.
The group formed a circle and placed an empty bottle at the center. The bottle will be spinned once and whoever gets to be chosen by the bottle (the person who gets to have the side of the bottle where the cap is located pointed at him/her) will be asked one question by a random player. Then the cycle continues.
Boq offered to spin the bottle. "Okay, let's see who gets to go first!"
The bottle was spinned and it chose Nessa.
"Uh-oh", Nessa swallowed and the next thing that happened surprised everyone.
Boq rose from his seat and went in front of Nessa. He knelt down on one knee, held ring and asked this question that shocked everyone, "Nessarose Thropp, I've been thinking of asking this since I realized that I have feelings for you but I have been scared all this time. I can't think of the right time to ask this because I found out that there isn't really a perfect time to ask this but", Boq swallowed before continuing, "Will you be my girlfriend?"
And as if on cue, Galinda squealed and the three mean girls dropped their jaws. Fiyero didn't say anything and Elphaba looked at her sister's reaction.
Nessa took a deep breath before answering, "Yes."
Boq smiled and put the ring on Nessa's finger.
Everyone clapped and Nessa hugged Boq tightly.
Few minutes have passed and everyone recovered from Boq's sudden actions. Galinda said, "Let's continue the game!"
Everyone returned to their previous seats to form the circle and this time, it was Nessa who spinned the bottle. The bottle chose Pfannee.
"I will ask the question!", Elphaba smirked. "What did I ever do to you and you are always so mean to me?"
"Oops", Galinda whispered and Pfannee signaled to the blonde that she got this.
Pfannee took a breath before answering, "To be honest, we were always making fun of you because you are different-
"Okay", Elphaba cut in but Pfannee continued, "Wait, let me finish! You are different in an extraordinary way."
This got everyone's attention and Pfannee kept talking, "We like messing with people who we think don't fit in with the crowd. You know, the peculiar ones. We feel happy whenever we see students changing themselves just to fit in so that we won't mess with them again. But in your case, you were different. You were the only one who never bothered to care about what other people say because you already accepted who you are. You were not afraid to be different. So we took that as a challenge. We continued messing with you until you give up, but you were just so courageous to fight back. You were actually the first one who got to do that with us."
Milla and Shenshen were both looking down as Pfannee stated all these.
"Okay?," Elphaba asked, still sounding confused. She was also asking for an elaboration from Pfannee.
But Milla urgently stated, "We're sorry", and the other two nodded in agreement.
Elphaba's brows rose simultaneously before a smile was drawn to her face.
"Apology accepted", Elphaba smiled.
"The faces of the three girls all lit up and they hugged each other."
After a while, they continued the game. Pfannee spun the bottle. It chose Fiyero.
Galinda immediately rose her hand and said this line as if they were in a class recitation, "Me! I want to throw a question."
Everyone looked at her and she continued, "Is it true that you don't have a brain?"
Silence enveloped the room whether it be because it shocked them all or they were wondering if Galinda was joking. But the blonde appeared to be serious about her question so Fiyero seemed like he was really thinking about it.
Few more seconds have passed and Elphaba suppressed a loud laughter. "I'm sorry. I can't hold it any longer!"
Fiyero nervously gulped, "I don't know."
And with that, laughter filled the room.
"You two are just so cute!", Nessa commented and both Fiyero and Galinda looked at her innocently.
The blonde protested, "Why are you guys laughing?"
Elphaba tapped Galinda's shoulder, "Revelations. Acceptance and ridiculousness, this get-together turned out fun after all!"
