Meanwhile in the Underground Hoggle ran toward the castle. When he got there Jareth was just coming out.
"Um, sir where did you say a weird vortex was coming from?" Hoggle squeaked nervously.
"Aboveground Japan. Why?" says Jareth exasperated. Hoggle's eyes went wide.
"Erm, Sarah is going there tonight on a trip for a couple weeks," Hoggle whispered.
"What was that? Speak up Hedgewort," Jareth says impatiently.
"Ugh, it's Hoggle! And Sarah is going to Japan tonight," yelled Hoggle clearly upset from Jareth messing up his name again.
Now it was Jareth's turn to go wide eyed. Then his eyes narrowed. "You will go tell her it's a bad idea. If you fail, the champion might get into trouble. As usual." He sent Hoggle back to Sarah. As Hoggle got to the mirror that connected to Sarah's room, Sarah was heading out the door with her suitcases and bags. Hoggle tried to wave but Sarah wasn't paying attention she left her room and headed down the stairs.
"Uh oh," moans Hoggle.
Sarah didn't go back to her room. Her dad dropped her off at the airport after dinner. She got on her plane with no problem. There was a little turbulence when she got into Japan, but other than that the flight was fine. She was so tired from the flight, though, that she didn't notice Jereth following her in owl form.
