The Spandex Moths
Chapter 2
Sarah, Didimus and Ambrossius were sitting around the television watching Peter Pan when Jareth walked in.
"Sarah." He said sternly.
Sarah did a double take over the rim of her popcorn bowl.
"Jareth, Hello." She shrank back into the couch; he didn't look happy.
"Moths have gotten loose in my castle."
"Moths." Repeated Sarah, not sure if she had heard him correctly.
Didimus tore his eyes away from the television and spotted Jareth.
"Good Lord it's 'im!" He cried. He jumped to his feet, withdrew his sword and pointed it at Jareth, "Wake up Ambrossius! We must battle the Goblin King once again!"
Abrossius rolled over in his sleep. Didimus rolled his eyes and gave him a little kick. Jareth folded his arms and raised an eyebrow.
"No we mustn't!" Sarah covered Didimus's mouth with her hand. "Just watch the movie." She directed.
"Right, the movie." Didimus agreed staring at the tv again.
"Moths." Repeated Sarah again motioning Jareth to follow her into the kitchen.
"Yes, and they have eaten all my spandex!"
Sarah covered her mouth with a manicured hand, suppressing a giggle.
"Oh." She said, straightening her face "Oh, what a tragedy."
"I know! I don't wear any other kind of pants, and the spandex making goblin can't make me any more spandex 'cuz the spandex fabric delivering goblin is on his Honeymoon and I need help!! Will you take me shopping?"
Sarah, who had perched herself on a stool, nearly fell off.
"What!?" She laughed regaining her balance.
"Take me shopping?" He asked.
She bit her lip. He would attract a lot of attention, and he had never been to a mall before. It would be just like that time she brought Toby to the mall....
"Pweeze?" Jareth interrupted her thoughts with a pouted lip.
Jareth-Oh my god!! What's wrong with you, woman? Have you no dignity for me? Pink footie spandex and pouting lips? Come now, delete that it's degrading!
Anne-I'm sorry, Jareth but there is nothing I can do, what is written is cast in stone //eerie music\\
Jareth-NO IT'S NOT!! All you need to do is take your mouse, highlight the whole pouting lip thing, hit delete and voila!!
Anne-Hmmm...yes, I do see your point, really I do. And I do suppose I COULD do that, but I'm not going to.
Jareth-WHY NOT!?
Anne-It makes you seem more sensitive. It's CUTE!
Jareth-I'm not sensitive! I am kingly and manly and tough! I'm the Lord of the Underground! I AM NOT CUTE!!
Anne-Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not like we haven't heard it 50 billion times before!! If you're so MANLY then why do you wear girly pants?
Jareth-// Blanches \\ GIRLY PANTS?!!!
Anne-Yes, spandex are for girls, so I guess you're now QUEEN of the underground.
Jareth-Why I aughta!!
Anne-Bring it! I could take you!
//Anne and Jareth lung for each other and fight until a big dust cloud forms around them. Rocky rolls his eyes and sits at the keyboard\\
"Alright." Said Sarah giving into his face. She stretched and yawned, "First thing in the morning. I'm tired, you can sleep on the pull out bed in the living room." She walked back into the living room and shoot Didimus, who had fallen asleep.
"Aye?" He asked groggily.
"Time to go home." She whispered. Didimus nodded and he and his faithful steed (who was still fast asleep) disappeared with a faint 'pop'. Saraj pulled out the bed and handed Jareth some pillows and a pile of blankets from the linen closet.
"Good night!" She said, stifling a yawn and walking up to bed.
Jareth-//Suddenly stops fighting and looks at the computer screen\\ You're making me sleep on the couch bed?!
Anne-Well, yeah...what!? You didn't think that she would give up her bed for you? //wipes bloody lip\\
Jareth-No, I thought I could share her bed...
Anne-How does she know you wouldn't try anything?! You're in love with her after all.
Jareth-I wouldn't! //Grumbles\\
The next morning Sarah crept down the stairs so she wouldn't wake up her guest, but he wasn't there. Puzzled, she walked through the kitchen and into the sunroom to see if he had wandered into there. What she saw made her jaw hit the floor. There was Jareth in the hot tub playing with a rubber ducky. She didn't even know she owned a rubber ducky. Luckily for both of them the bubbles were so dense that nothing was visible.
"Jareth, good morning!" She said embarrassed, directing her eyes to the floor in case he stood up or the bubbles stopped.
"Yes Sarah! Good morning! What is this marvelous thing?" He asked?
"It's a hot tub. If you want to go to the mall I suggest that you put some clothes on." Sarah put some of her Father's clothes (that she found in her closet) on a chair next to the hot tub. "There are towels in that bathroom," She pointed to a bathroom door behind him. "If you want to dry off." She turned and walked out. "I'll see you in a couple of minutes."
"Okay." Jareth grinned giving the ducky a squeeze and make it squeak loudly.
