The two twin princesses slithered silently through the dark corridor in their pajamas and house slippers, looking for the Royal Chambers hand in hand.

Opening the door slightly, goblin princesses Cheyannalae and Katrina peeked through the crack of the door to see their round-bellied mother and their father sleeping peacefully during the early morning hours.

Chey looked around swiftly and nodded, sending the two straight for the bed where Jareth the Goblin King and Sarah the Goblin Queen were sleeping soundly.

At least, until they came hurling into the bed with them.

"Mommy! Mommy! Daddy! Mommy!" they screamed simultaneously.

The two parents woke up in a state of slight fear, considering their two girls were screaming them awake.

"Mhh… yes dears?" Jareth mumbled, rubbing his eyes awake.

"Happy Anniversarmy!" they screamed, again simultaneously.

"…Anniversarmy?" Sarah asked questioningly.

"Yeah! We heard Hoghead talking about it!" Chey screamed in delight.

"Cheyannalae Marie, you know better…" Sarah snapped.

"But that's what daddy says!" she protested

Oh bogger

"Thank you, dearest's… now please go back to sleep or go kick some goblins, do something before mummy loses her temper." She said, waving the girls off to their own rooms.

"Anniversarmy, hmm?" Jareth purred as Sarah sunk back into his arms. "I'm beginning to like parenthood."

"You didn't before?" She answered blandly. "And what's this about getting Hoggle's name wrong? Why would you do that?"

"Hmm…" Jareth thought aloudly, rubbing his chin. Suddenly, he got a devilish grin.

"Defiance."

"What could you possibly be defying?"

"You."
