Well, here goes! This is my first fanfiction ever! Actually, the first I've ever uploaded. So, please enjoy. Comment, heck! tell me what I'm doing right or wrong. I need input to make a better story.

And now, if you didn't already know this drill: Disclaimers!

I, little-raziel, in no possible way own Jareth or Sarah, though, by Jove!, I wish I did. Jack McCoy is the property of NBC as is Law & Order. The little snippet of song is from The Wizard of Oz, and is therefore not mine. Obviously, I stole the title "Bohemian Rhapsody" from Queen. A great, great song. I definitely recommend you give it a listen. However, Elise and every little neurotic aspect of her is all mine! Mine, I tell you! Mwahahaha! Oh, sorry. Did I just let that slip out?

Now, on with the show! Bohemian Rhapsody Scene 1 Take 42… and ACTION!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Chrissakes, Sarah! Will you stop mooning over that ethics book or will I have to come over and smack you awake?!"

"What? Oh, sorry Elise. I just was, you know, thinking," Sarah slowly stated to her irate roommate.

"Oh! she was only thinking! Well, that makes everything soo much better. Come on, Sarah! We both need to study or Prof is going to kill us with his insano test on Tuesday. And you know how I am. If you start day-dreaming, I'll start day-dreaming, and we'll never get anything done!"

Sarah could only look and shake her head at her best friend. Elise was nothing if not a little spitfire, all 5'3" of her. Her bright blue-hazel eyes flashed with a staggeringly plucky nature and love of learning, and her pixie styled dirty blonde hair did nothing if not emphasize her spunky character. The day Sarah stepped into her dorm room, she knew either she would kill her roommate or they'd bond like crazy glue. Eccentric did not rightly describe Elise; downright psychotic bordered closer to the truth. However, it was their mutual love of fantasy, music, and well, pretty much everything that formed a solid foundation for their friendship.

"Sarah! Earth to Sarah! Time to bat those big, beautiful green eyes awake, and shake those soft, chocolate brown locks away from your face! Now look at what you've made me do! I'm beginning to sound like Rachael from down the hall. You know, 'The sun's rays are a golden glow across the expanse of the blue-black sky. I can hardly take my eyes from its majesty…'" Elise began to melodramatically demonstrate, holding her hand over her eyes in the universal sign of a drama queen.

"Stop! Stop! You are wicked. Yes, don't try to play the innocent, Elise; I know you too well! Tell me again why you didn't decide to become a drama major? You'd be so good at it!" Sarah exclaimed, the ethics book forgotten.

"You know why. I'm not that good. And besides, I always wanted to be a lawyer. I told my grandfather that I wanted to be the female version of Jack McCoy on Law & Order, and he said, ' That's wonderful! We need one in the family tree!' So, here I am: studying to get a BA in pre-law and then on to law school over the rainbow!" Elise continued in a sing-songy voice. "And you, Sarah? Why are you going into law?"

Sarah's looks softened. "I had to grow up. Did I tell you about my family?" Sarah quickly changed the subject to something a little less painful.

"Yeah, a little. Toby's cute. If he were a little older, I'd date him."

"Okay, gross! He's only three!"

Elise put a finger to her lips and tapped in a thoughtful manner. "Well, better make that at least sixteen more years. He could be nineteen to my eighteen. But back to the story: your family. Spill it."

"A little better, not much. I can't believe you're looking at my half-brother like that," Sarah teasingly said, which gained her a pointed look from Elise. "Dad doesn't always, you know, act like a father, and Karen…"

"The bitch."

"Yes, the bitch. I'm telling you, I don't mind taking care of Toby, but still, I'm her step-daughter, not her personal servant!"

"Which is why you moved out to California, huh? Don't get me wrong, you're everything, well, almost everything a person could ask for in a roommate," Elise decidedly pronounced, "but you know…"

"Well, what?" Sarah asked as she slipped closer to Elise from her desk to the floor and sat Indian-style in front of the tiny virago, looking intently at her face.

Elise stared right back. "You should never run away from your problems. EVER. Besides, when life gives you lemons, you should clone them and make…Super Lemons!" Elise threw her hands into the air and leaned back for a moment as Sarah shook her head in a dear-God-I'm-living-with-an-escaped-mental-patient kind of way. "And any-vey, Sarah, it is now time to…"

"To what?" Sarah asked, unsure at what quirky thing her friend would do next.

"To…TICKLE ATTACK!!!" The small sprite briskly pounced on her counterpart and commenced her assault. Not to be undone, Sarah joined in the fun. Studies completely forgotten, the two girls spent the evening being normal college students on a Friday night: a pillow fight, popcorn, and a movie in their closet, um, dorm room.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Jareth intently watched the entire exchange through one of his crystal balls as he lounged on his throne. He did not miss one smile, one single moment of these two's frivolity.

"Oh, Sarah. Am I just another memory, a wisp of a dream to you now?" Jareth whispered as he gently caressed the crystal holding the image of his Sarah and her little friend. "Well, we shall see. Indeed, I am not so easily forgotten." And with those words, Jareth threw the orb into the air where it gently popped as he stalked off to plan a method to get Sarah within his clutches once again.

Well, what do you think? Did I at least whet you appetite just the tiniest bit? Hope I've got you interested.

Anyway, I must confess something. I don't think I would have posted if it hadn't been for the ever wonderful Scattered Logic for the encouragement and comments. Don't worry, SL, I've taken those comments to heart and plan to use some of them! Now for everyone whose taken the time, let's give it up for an awesome beta reader! Yeah, SL! You rock my world!

*ahem* Now that that's out of my system, please drop me a line, and hit that button that says "Review" if you are so inclined. Well, later days!
