A/N: Don't expect this to be a realistic story, cause it's based on a dream of mine.

Don't own Jareth, which is a pity and I don't own "De Efteling" either, which is a pity too, cause I would have a lot of money in that case.

Cat and Mouse Game

It's summer vacation. It's a nice hot evening. Me, my parents and my brother are driving towards an amusement park close to our home. (A/N: the amusement park is called "De Efteling", but it doesn't really look like the real one) It about 5 o'clock and the park will close in two hours and it's getting dark.

Now you probably wonder why we would go to a park which would close in two hours, right? Well, we've heard on the news that the real prince with his wife and daughters of our country will be staying their all night. So we jumped in the car and drove to the amusement park.

We've arrived. People are already exiting, but we are going inside. We're walking down the paths. Then we suddenly see the. In a big car-like vehicle, crossing over the paths. They stop close to us and my family goes wild. I think of it as a great opportunity to escape them and I back up quietly. When I'm sure nobody can hear me anymore, I turn around and run away.

Nobody has seen me. I'm now hiding between a big flower box and a restaurant. I wait two hours, before I come out. I sit down on the edge of the flower box and open my backpack. I eat some energy bar and put my backpack behind the flower box. I can see you thinking, but yes I planned this all. Life sucks, so why not let it suck in an amusement park.

I start walking around carefully, there are still security guards walking around too. I have reached the corner of the building. I cautiously stick my head around it. It bumps into someone else' head. I hear a smothered "ouch" I look up, whilst rubbing my head. I'm shocked. It's Jareth the Goblin King. He's holding him head and jumps around. It's a ridiculous sight and I start to laugh.

It catches his attention. Something in his eyes tells me I shouldn't have laughed. I turn around and start running. Suddenly he appears in front of me and I turn left swiftly. I reach a large wooden palisade. By amazing good fortune I manage to climb over it. I'm now running along the palisade. I hear his footsteps behind me. I now know it's just a game, if he really wanted to hurt me he would have just popped up in front of me.

I turn around the corner and see that it isn't a palisade anymore here, but the fence is made of barbed wire. I drop myself, roll under it and quickly get up my feet. I know my little plan was working, when I heard another "ouch" coming from Jareth's mouth. He thought I just ran trough it. He probably thought, if he had seen me fall at all, that I just fell.

Suddenly I see a flashlight and someone calling: "Wie is daar?" (which means "who's there?") I freeze. I forgot about those damned security guards. Then I'm abruptly taken by the hand and drag along someone. It's Jareth. He hauls me to the little forest and pushes my on the ground. I can see the light showing the trees, but it skips us. The security guard leaves.

Then I realise Jareth is lying on top of me. I say: "He is gone, we're safe" But he just smirks and says: "No, I'm safe, you are not safe at all" He comes closer to my face and whispers in my ear: "I won"

I can assure you that night was long and very pleasant…
