I am totally addicted to Wicked and can't seem to stop writing fanfics for it. Seeing as I'm about to finish my Twilight/Wicked crossover 'The Emerald Apple' I need a new pet project and this idea has been stewing around in my head for awhile. Note that this first chapter is mostly just a starter; future installments will be significantly longer.
"Elphie how can you stand that boring school stuff?" Galinda demanded, gesturing to the thick textbook her green friend was engrossed in. "I mean is there anything interesting in there?" Both girls were lounged on their beds; Elphaba was studying and her blonde roommate was working on her immaculate nails.
"Actually history can be very intriguing," the green witch informed Galinda. "There's even something in here about the OzDust Ballroom."
"Really?" squeaked the blonde princess, bouncing to her friend's side.
"Yep," Elphaba continued. "It says here that it's named after a magical substance that can cause people to fall in love."
"How does it do that?" Galinda questioned.
"Apparently if two people consume ozdust they will both fall deeply in love," the green girl read.
"That just goes to show how weird textbooks are," the blonde huffed, returning to her nails. "I mean who would eat dust?" Elphaba rolled her eyes and continued to study.

As the two girls entered Madame Morrible's sorcery seminar the grumpy headmistress held out a snarled hand for their homework. Slapping the papers down on her desk Morrible began her usual monologue on the day's lesson. "Today we will learn about the very potent world of magical substances," the teacher began, sounding very important.
"Like ozdust?" Galinda interrupted. Something in Madame Morrible's eyes tightened.
"Ozdust is a magical substance," the headmistress allowed. "But we will not be learning about it. Such powerful ingredients should only be used by trained professionals."
"So it's very powerful?" the blonde pressed, not letting the subject drop.
"Yes," snapped Morrible. "It is very powerful and you will not be learning about it." At those words the teacher placed a protective hand over her spellbook, which no doubt contained a detailed description of the substance in question.
"Fine," Galinda huffed. "I was just curious." And then the rather drab and frustrating lesson was underway.

Madame Morrible swept importantly out of the room as soon as her seminar with the two young witches was over. Apparently she had some 'important business' to attend to. Elphaba and Galinda were about to leave too when the blonde gasped in horror. "I forgot to put my name on my homework!" she squeaked.
"There are only two of us in the class," the green girl pointed out. "Plus you're the only one who writes in pink ink."
"Yes but last time I forgot my name she put in a zero," Galinda cried pitifully. "I don't want to make her angry."
"Fine," Elphaba sighed. "Let's go get the stupid paper." They scurried back into the classroom and remedied the nameless homework assignment. Then they heard the headmistress's voice in the hallway.
"The closet," Galinda hissed, crawling inside Morrible's enormous potion cabinet. The green girl followed suit and they slammed the door behind them. Once the frightening woman was gone both witches stumbled out.
"If you ever forget to put your name on your paper I will murder you in your sleep," Elphaba threatened teasingly. However her blonde friend wasn't paying attention. She was staring open mouthed at something in the closet they'd just emerged from. It was a small jar full of a sparkly green powder. The label read; OZDUST.
Uh oh…big trouble at little Shiz! I'm sure you can imagine what sort of mischief Galinda and Elphaba could get into with a handful of ozdust…
Should I keep going or let this one die out? Please review and let me know your opinions.
