Chapter 2: A man in an Owl
"Goodbye," said Ginger.
"Goodbye," replied Sarah.
Ginger walked slowly away. Not knowing what to do next.
Should I go back to the dorms with Sidney? No, she has her own vacation probably. I should go to Caroline or Mary's house like I planned. Or what about Tim…no way, he's a guy! Oh, man. First I need to contact my parents and find out what in the world they were thinking of. Thought Ginger.
It was a cold, misty night and Ginger didn't know what to do. She looked up at the stars and saw them sparkling as if they were diamonds. Some were all in one little cluster and some were on their own.
If stars were real people I would be one of the outsiders! Thought Ginger.

"Wilhelm, Ludo, good. You're here. Now, I am going outside of the goblin world," said Jareth.
"I don't mean to disagree, your highness but …Sarah is married you know," said Wilhelm.
"Yes, I know. But I know a girl that can tell me some things about Sarah. I am going find her," said Jareth.
"What is her name, sir?" asked Wilhelm.
"Ginger, Ginger Wyatt," said Jareth.
"Why do you want to talk to a girl named Ginger Wyatt?" asked Wilhelm, obviously confused.
"DON'T QUESTION ME AGAIN!" screamed Jareth. And with a sparkle of glitter and a wave of his cape the man in the tight pants was gone.
"Well, he sure can get angry," said Wilhelm.

Ginger was so worried that she didn't seem to notice that there was a huge owl sitting on a tree limb, staring at her.
A few minutes later she did notice.
"Oh, my. What big eyes you have there!" giggled Ginger.
And then poof, the owl was gone.
"Where did you go, Mr. Owl?" asked Ginger, feeling like a child again. But Ginger was sort of creeped out.
"I'm right here, Miss Human!" said Jareth.
Ginger turned around to see a tall man standing there.
"Where did you come from?" asked Ginger, walking back slowly.
"From that tree limb right over there. Don't back away Ginger, I have a question to ask you," said Jareth.
"Me----I mean how did you know my name? What's yours? What's the question?" asked Ginger, astonished.
"You don't need to know any of that. The question is this: Do you know a woman named Sarah?" asked Jareth, knowing the answer.
"Ye----No," said Ginger, not really sure why she lied.
"Yes you do, Ginger. Think," said Jareth.
"No I don't, Owl, shut up!" said Ginger, taking a stand for her lie.
"Ginger, I know about you and Sarah and your parents. I even know where your parents live," said Jareth.
"You do?! Would you take me to them?" asked Ginger; now ignoring that Sarah was the whole purpose.
"Yes, I will Ginger. On one condition," said Jareth.
"Yes, anything," said Ginger.
"Tell me, is Sarah married?" asked Jareth delighted his plan was working.
"I don't know of a Sarah," said Ginger.
