After Elphaba's run-in with Fiyero, the inconsiderate boor, and witnessing how he won over the entire courtyard of students with his flippant attitude to life, she caught up with Nessa on the way to the dormitories.
'It's absurd! This silly rich boy appears and everyone's off to worship him at some cultish social gathering!' She said derisively.
'Even me! I'm going!' Nessarose announced. 'Isn't it wonderful? Boq was too shy to ask me at first, but once Galinda encouragerised him-'
'Galinda?' It was impossible to keep the indignant surprise out of her voice.
'Don't! Don't you dare say another word against her!' said Nessarose sternly. 'I'm about to have the first happy night of my life, thanks to Galinda.'
She leaned forward in her chair as she gripped the handles in an expression Elphaba had come to recognise as being ridiculously happy. If she could walk, she knew she would've been bouncing on her tiptoes.
'Finally for this one night, I'm about to have a fun night with this Munchkin boy Galinda found for me. And I only wish there were something I could do for her to repay her, Elphaba see?' She gripped my hand imploringly and her eyes were bright with hope.
'We deserve each other, and Galinda helped it come true. We deserve each other, me and Boq, please Elphaba try to understand!' Elphaba had to put aside her loathing for Galinda to see what a generous thing she'd done by bringing Nessarose and Boq together.
'I do.' I reassured her and wheeled her towards Madame Morrible's quarters.
