Disclaimer:Geeze...how many times to I gotta go over this?!? I AM THE ONLY CHARACTER I OWN IN THIS FREAKIN' FIC!! ARE YOU STUPID LAWYERS HAPPY NOW?!?!? *takes deep breath* Right...on with the show, then.
Jareth was mad. The Trio had made fools of him FAR too many times. What was a vain, sock-stuffing, egotistical Goblin King to do? Torture them right back, of course. But how? They were immune to the Bog. Perhaps he should just...yes. That would do. The dungeons hadn't been used in quite some time. But, by the All, what about their powers? And then there was LeAnn. SHE was part Jedi. But that was easily taken care of. The Force could only be used to communicate here in the Underground. But he couldn't even let her do THAT much. She'd call her aunt and uncle to help them...
Bloody hell. There was another problem. The torture he had planned would strain his relationship with his daughter, Mara. Mainly because Mara was married to Luke. And Mara and Luke were the very aunt and uncle Jareth was afraid the eldest member of the Trio would call with the Force. There was something, though, that Mara had mentioned that could block the Force completely. What was it...? Ah yes...Ysalimari. They lived on the planet of Myrkr. Mara had mentioned that they actually prevented one from being able to use the Force. Well, he'd just have to bring one to the Underground for LeAnn's little cage, wouldn't he?
Satisfied with his plan, Jareth apparated away, making his preperations. The Terrble Trio would with they'd never so much as mentioned the word sock.

Meanwhile, the aforementioned Trio was busy giggling, making their Halloween plans. "Has anybody decided on a costume yet?" Emmy asked, glancing at her sisters. "I'm not sure yet." LeAnn rolled her eyes. "But Emmy! All Hallow's Eve is the most important date of the year! You HAVE to decide something, soon! It's almost AUGUST already, for Powers sake!" "Yes, yes, I know. Let's just keep the peach wine out of the celebrations, no? For one, Koni, dear, you're the only one not currently pregnant," she said, wondering how on earth she and LeAnn managed to be pregnant at the same time three times in a row now.
First with Dameon, Arista, and Leo, then with Katja, Dante, and Jade, and now they each were having another one. "And for another thing, we always get in trouble when we have peach wine, and usually end up suspended over the Bog of Eternal Stench," she added, shaking her head. This reminder only made the other two giggle harder.
"Doctor doctor won't you please prescribe me somethin'? A day in the life of someone else!" they sang together. "Oh no," came a groan from the other room, where Adian, Obi-Wan, and Puck were playing poker. "Who let LeAnn sing?" LeAnn growled. "WHAT did I tell you, wolf-boy?" she asked, glaring at Adian, who had just poked his head into the room. "Er....you told me to be good to Emmy, or else you'd kill me slowly and painfully, if I remember correctly," Adian said, grinning. Emmy and Koni laughed as their older sister continued to glare at Ade.
Adian was Emmy's husband, and he regularly played poker with Puck and Obi-Wan, his two best friends. Ironically, Puck was his step-father-in-law, and Obi-Wan was his son-in-law, as Obi had married Arista nearly a year ago, and little Ethan Kenobi was on the way. Things like this went to prove what the girls said often-the Family Tree of the All was severely fucked up. "I meant about my singing," LeAnn said, finally. "Actually, I don't remember you saying anything about your singing, or about me making fun of it for that matter." This comment was followed by a rather, pardon the pun, wolfish smirk.
"He's right," Obi said, poking his head into the room. "He's got witnesses. Me and Puck." "Nobody asked your opinion, Kenobi," Chaos said, scathingly. The chill in her voice caused Obi to step back, but only mockingly. The two of them had argued in such a way for as long as they'd known eachother. And that had been for several years now.
"Hey, what's all the commotion?" Puck asked, finally coming out as well. "I'm ahead, and we've got a game to finish!" "The usual, Puck," Emmy said. "LeAnn and Koni sing, that leads to Adian making fun of LeAnn's singing, that leads to a comment from Obi, that leads to an argument between Obi and LeAnn." Puck nodded knowingly. "Ah. The Usual," he said. Koni nodded. "Snafu," she added. Emmy glanced at her twin, an eyebrow raised questioningly. "Situation Normal, All Fucked Up," Koni said in explanation. LeAnn laughed. Koni just nodded and smiled. The boys, meanwhile, just went back to their poker game.
Silence and peace introduced themselves for a few moments. (Hi, I'm Silence. Nice to meat you Silence, I'm Peace. Hi Silence, Peace. I'm Chaos. *evil grin**Silence and Peace run away*) The All seemed fine until Adian yelled out for some drinks. "Hey, Emmy, Love? Could you bring us some drinks?" he asked. But there was no answer. Wondering where the girls had gone, Adian, Obi, and Puck searched around the house, calling for the Trio.
The boys had just gotten back to the livingroom, completely clueless as to the whereabouts of the girls, and a little worried, when Puck found the first clue in the living room. Incriminating glitter. "Now I KNOW none of the girls wear a lot of glitter," he said, holding it in his hand. "And none of them have blond hair," said Obi suspicously. Adian frowned. That could mean only one thing. The girls had been kidnapped by a particularly malevolent Goblin King. "Come on, guys. Looks like it's time to rescue the Trio," he said. "I wonder what they've done this time." "Well," said Puck, "Who better to rescue the Terrible Trio than the Terrosome Triad?"
With that, the guys apparated to the Underground.
