AN: Hello all! Some of you have already read this story while under the title, 'Odd Happenings' The thingy is, I have rewritten it a bit. For those of you who haven't read it, I hope you like it. For those of you who have, I hope you like this slightly modified version better.

As far as plot goes, there isn't much. I started writing this story when I was sick and had way to much time to kill. Though I wouldn't worry much, I finished NaNoWriMo which I started with no plot at al, so this should be fine. END AN:

It's not that I don't like Jareth, I do!" Argued Ridel. "I just don't understand why you slobber all over my TV whenever we watch this!"

Maria turned from the movie she had been worshipping and confronted her friend. Looking rather like a small squeaky animal ready to defend its burrow.

"Do you know what your problem is Ridel? You have no taste in men!"

"And how" Ridel asked "do you call that taste?" she motioned to the Goblin kings pants.

"Exactly!" quipped Maria happily. "Game set and match." She turned back to find the goblin king was gone and Hoggle and Sarah running from the cleaners.

"Stupid Sarah" She muttered.

Ridel was getting frustrated now. "What's wrong with Sarah?" She asked annoyed.

"Besides the fact that she is a total brat?" Asked Maria.

"She got better." Grumbled Ridel.

"What I don't like about her, is that she is rather like you when it comes to the Goblin King."

"You mean reasonable frightened of a guy who just set spiky whirring death on her and her friend?" Asked Ridel.

Maria groaned and shook her head, returning to the movie.

Although they disagreed on a few things, Ridel and Maria were actually best friends. They both had the same slightly sadistic to the all out bizarre sense of humor. They both enjoyed reading writing and drawing, and whenever they were together they couldn't stay mad at anything for very long. The one would somehow cheer the other and everything turned out fine.

The one thing that annoyed them the most though, was there different views on men. Fictional or otherwise. Ridel for one, Thought that Jareth was a good Villain, But not the most romantic figure in the universe.

Maria however, had several print outs of the goblin king plastered all over her wall that kept Ridel up at night when she slept over. As Ridel's print outs of Lon Chaney as the phantom of the opera did Maria.

"What would you do?" asked Maria suddenly, as Jareth offered Sarah her dreams for the second time.

"What huh what what?" Ridel had been concentrating on a drawing of Hoggle at the time.

"What would you do? I mean if you were Sarah." Maria cocked her head.

"You mean if I was suddenly alone in a dark room with Jareth and he was offering me my dreams?" She asked

Maria nodded.

Ridel looked thoughtful.

"Well I would probably scream… wonder what on earth was going on, then faint dead away."

Maria groaned. "Why do I even bother? At least Jareth has a face!"

Ridel gasped in mock horror. "My Erikens has a face!... sort of… okay not really. But at least HE doesn't prance around in tights like a little girl!"

Now it was Maria's turn to gasp. "Take that back you charlatan!"

"Neva!" Shouted Ridel standing on her couch, exuding pure chemical defiance. "Yield fool! My fictional lover could totally beat up your fictional lover!"

"You disgrace to hormonal teenage girl kind! Have at you!" Maria lunged at Ridel who jumped over her and landed on the carpet ware Maria had just stood.

"Ha!" She shouted in triumph. She was rather pleased with that little stunt. At least, right up to the point where the couch cushion hit her in the face.

"Who's laughing now Ridel?" Squealed Maria, a demented grin plastered on her face. "You know that the phantom and Raoul were romantically involved."

Ridel ground her teeth. "Madam! You are on dangerous ground!"

"I mean it's obvious that Christine was just an excuse" She went on regardless of Ridel's warning.

Ridel, unable to handle the Slash talk a second longer, grabbed Maria by her ankles and pulled, sending her crashing to the grey carpet with a mighty thud. Maria bounced back up in record time and tackled Ridel. The two crazies rolled all around the living room trying to pin each other. Fighting for the honor of two men who didn't exist. Suddenly the lights flickered on. the girls went still.

They looked up into the surprised and slightly more than annoyed face of Ridel's mother. After a short pause she cleared her through and addressed them.

"Girls… would either of you care to explain what this is all about?"

Ridel and Maria exchanged looks.

"Er… No?" Ventured Maria.

Misses Sheridan sighed. "In that case put away your movie, clean up this living room, and be quiet. Some of us are trying to sleep."

"Yes mom."

"Yes misses. Sheridan."

Ridel's mother nodded and left the girls to clean up after themselves.

Maria replaced the coach cushion while Ridel picked up the random bits of popcorn that had ended up strewn all over the room. "I'll have to vacuum tomorrow." She muttered.

"So, putting our disagreements on the manly types aside." whispered Maria, "Don't you think it would be fun to go to the Labyrinth?"

Ridel shrugged. "Well that's the problem you see. If we wanted to go to the Labyrinth, Not that I'm saying we possibly could, we would have to wish one of us away. And to tell the truth I'm not to keen on being kidnapped by David Bowie and a band of demented Jim Henson puppets."

Maria nodded her head. "Yeah I agree with you there, Those Muppets are the scariest things ever."

"Not to mention the guy who rules them." Added Ridel under her breath. This earned her a death glare from Maria.

An important AN:

As I said before, I started writing this because I was sick, bed ridden, and bored out of my mind. There was never a real plot to it as I made every chapter up as I went. BUT! Before you turn away in disgust, Don't. I have every intention of continuing. However, I could use a little help.

Would any of you like a cameo? Dun dun duuuuun! If you do, Please review this chapter and give me ideas. I have a general plot line now, but still.

All you have to do is

think of a way you would like to torment either Ridel or Maria, (Or Jareth if you really want )

Choose a representative I.e. A Goblin, Fairy, Firey, or made up creature.

Choose a name for them. (You can use your screen name if you wish, but you may want try a different name.)

Review this chapter with your idea, and I'll see if I want to put it in.

I just thought it would be fun to write an "interactive" fan fic. So that's my idea!

With lots of love and gratitude in advance!
