Elphaba is quietly walking down a hallway, planning to enjoy five blessed minutes of solitude.

Finally. Silence. Peace. No glitter. No cha—

Glinda materializes behind her

“ELPHIEEEE!!!!”

Elphaba flinches so hard she almost levitates

“Sweet Oz— Glinda, must you appear like an ambush?”

“I wanted to walk with you!! Best friend time!”

loops her arm through Elphaba's instantly

“Unloop. Unarm. Unhand.”

tries to gently pull away

“Nope!!”

“I am going to the library. Alone.”

Glinda dramatically gasps

“Without me?! You’d leave me to wither?? To crumble?? To perish alone in the hallway??”

“Yes. Ideally.”

“You can’t mean that!!”

tightens grip, now holding BOTH of Elphaba’s arms

“We’re a TEAM!!! A DUO!!! A PAIR-BOND OF DESTINY!!!”

“You’re holding me like a decorative scarf.”

“Well you look stunning in emerald, why not drape you on me?”

Elphaba deadpans

“Glinda. This is your final warning.”

Glinda hugs her from behind now.

“No!! I’ll be LONELY and TRAGIC and-”

“I am not running. I am walking. As people do.”

squeezes tighter

“You walk faster than me!!!”

“Because you weigh as much as a bag of sparkles and poor choices.”

“That’s the NICEST thing you’ve ever said to me!!!”

“Please let go.”

Glinda refuses, clings harder

“No. You’re stuck with me until I get a hug.”

“I am being emotionally blackmailed.”

“Huuuuuuug.”

Elphaba sighs deeply, defeated by glitter

“…Fine.”

She gives the smallest, stiffesthug.

Glinda SCREECHES with joy “SHE HUGGED ME!! SHE LOVES ME!!”

“You get one every six months. That was your ration.”

“I’m taking MORE!!”

pulls her into a SECOND hug

“…Please send help.”

“You love me"
