Take What Comes
Chap 4: Replacement
Disclaimer:
TooDiffer2BReal- The characters Jareth, Sarah, Toby, Hoggle, Ludo, Didymus, etc. belong to the Jim Henson company, therefore I claim no rights. Most goblins, however belong to me, though the design for DÅSHEL was taken from the 'Inside the Labyrinth' documentary on the DVD, my sister saw him and said that she had to have him in the story.
Sarah- Don't they know this all by now?
TooDiffer- Probably but I don't really care if they do or don't.
Jareth- But this is no fun and they probably skip it anyway.
TooDiffer- So?
Jareth- It's stupid.
TooDiffer- It standard and required. Obviously the characters Jena, Ashley, Hannah, Erin, Marissa, and Jody belong to me because they were based off of people that I live with most days of the week, at school, home where ever, so if anyone else claims them, THEIR NUTS! Gerard, Richan, Ahroan, Marcail and any other characters along the way(I'll make mention as they show up) belong to me, also. Now onto the story! ENJOY!
----------------------
Summary: JS Two friends wish each other to the Underground, the rules say that they can't run the Labyrinth so Jena, one of the two friends, asks her sister to run the Labyrinth for them. When she loses, all 3 must stay in the Underground forever. They become servants at the castle, because of these 3 humans things begin to change around the castle, things change for Jareth. Will these changes be for the best or for the worst? (This has got to be one of the worst summaries I've ever written, so just read the story, I suck at summaries anyway)
----------------------
Sarah smiled, stretching her arms out and yawning. Her eyes were still closed; she lay in her bed, curled up in her blankets. She had a nice dream; it was from when she'd traveled the Labyrinth. Jareth had been there, of course.
She'd been dancing with him again, in the same ballroom. He looked no different but she was her current age. The surrounded creatures did not scare her and she hadn't been confused or wanted to run.
Though most of her attention had been devoted to Jareth, she'd noticed that not only did the creatures not scare her but also most looked harmless. Very few wore the grotesque masks she'd seen last time and she recognized a few people.
She saw her 3 friends; the 2 that wore clothing in much more formal wear. She briefly saw Jena, dancing with a man she did not know. She recognized Jena's sister, who'd been on television with Jena several times; she was with a man that reminded her slightly of Jareth. After she'd caught a glance of each of them, she'd recognized no one else.
She'd turned all her attention to Jareth and they'd danced. She'd then woken up.
Suddenly she sat up as the haziness of sleep cleared from her mind. "Today!"
She threw back the covers, jumping out of bed, repeating, "Today!"
Glancing at the clock she realized it was a bit early. She bit her lip and sighed, deciding to take a shower before she called Jena.
Once she was out of the shower and clothed, however, she was bouncing off the walls.
"Jena! Oh, Jena! I wish you were here! Now!" She beamed as said woman appeared in front of her.
Jena promptly held up a finger and yawned.
"I know I didn't wake you! You got here to fast!" Sarah tapped her foot.
"Psh," Jena snorted, "It's early, I woke up just before you called me."
"It's only 7:30," Sarah huffed.
"Still early, I hate waking up early, whenever I wake up is always to early." She nodded.
"So you had things you needed to go over?"
"Yeah," She yawned again, she then appeared to perk up, "Do you have coffee?"
"Of course I have coffee!" Sarah yelled.
"It's been months since I had coffee," Jena followed Sarah out of the room and in the apartment's kitchen.
"They don't have coffee?" Sarah looked horrified.
"Nope, they have strong teas though," Jena explained, taking the offered cup of coffee.
"So, explain, go over whatever you have to!"
Jena scowled, "Be patient!"
"I've been patient! I wanted to go yesterday!"
Jena snorted and turned around to drink her coffee.
---
Jody growled, "I wanna go home!"
"I'm afraid that's not possible," Jareth spoke from behind her.
Jody spun around, "It's not?"
"No," He cocked his head to the side.
"Why?"
"There is no one to replace you willingly."
"Replace her for what, Your Majesty?" Hannah stopped next to them, momentarily forgetting she had to get to the kitchens.
"She'd like to leave, but someone else would have to replace her willingly, and I'd have to take away her magic," Jareth said.
"I know someone," Hannah said.
"Take my magic! I wanna go home!" Jody whined.
"You know someone who would willingly come here to stay for the rest of their life?" Jareth raised a brow.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Hannah nodded, "I do."
"Fine, if they agree I will send you home."
---
Jena blinked, "Oh."
"What?"
"Come with me," Jena grabbed her hand and they disappeared, they appeared in the living room and another apartment.
"Where are we?" Sarah asked.
"Who called me?" Jena said loud enough to be heard throughout the apartment.
A young woman burst out of the bedroom, she looked like Jena and Hannah, though she had brown eyes instead. Her hair was brown and mid-back length. "Jena?"
"Ashley?" Jena asked, dropping Sarah's hand.
"Where have you been?!" Ashley shouted. "Where's Hannah?"
"We've been in the Underground, you know the Labyrinth?"
"You're kidding?"
"Nope, Hannah's there now. Only I can transport." Jena said.
"Can I see Hannah?"
"No," Jena shook her head.
"Why?"
Sarah gestured from behind Jena and mouthed words to Ashley when the girl looked away.
"I wish I could see Hannah!" Ashley said, confidently, after she comprehended what Sarah had been mouthing.
Jena sighed and glared at Sarah, "Fine," She grabbed Ashley, "Stay here, Sarah."
"I've got no where else to go! I don't even know where I am," She scoffed.
---
Jena appeared in the middle of the hallway, Ashley right next to her. She conjured a crystal and looked at Jareth, Hannah and Jody speaking. She quickly figured out where they were and grabbed Ashley, dragging her off.
"That was awesome!" Ashley grinned.
"Sure," Jena stomped down the corridor.
She spotted the 3 she'd seen in the crystal standing at the end of the hallway when she turned.
"Hey! Hannah!" Jena shouted, catching their attention. "Look what I found."
Jareth looked Ashley up and down, "Is this that friend of yours?"
"No, I had to leave her for a moment, this one called me and wished to see Hannah," Jena said.
"Perfect timing!" Hannah grinned. "Do you want to stay here?"
"Hell yes!" Ashley nodded, "Can I?"
"You can go home, Jody," Jareth looked at the sandy-blonde. "Your powers will disappear the moment Jena leaves you in the Aboveground."
"I have to take her?" Jena was already tired and she still had to bring Sarah.
"Yes," Jareth nodded.
Jena sighed, "Let's go Jody."
Hannah and Ashley immediately started jawing away as Jena dragged Jody away.
---
Jena appeared back in Ashley's apartment, where she'd left Sarah. She'd dropped Jody off at her old place and gone back to get Sarah.
Sarah looked up from the book she had in her hand, "Took you long enough."
Jena sighed, "Time to go back to your apartment." She grabbed Sarah and paused, "Oh, wait." She snapped her fingers and the apartment was empty.
"Where'd it go?"
"The furniture is gone, but her things, books and such are in the Underground, I did this with Hannah's and my things. Jody's were returned. I'll also do this with yours, at least until you come back." In her mind she added, if you do.
Back in her apartment, Sarah sat on her bed, "What is it that I need to know?"
"Jareth is a king," Jena paced the room as she explained, "You must give him the respect he deserves, he is not your enemy and you will be his subject for as long as you are in the Underground."
"Anywhere in the Underground?" Sarah frowned.
"Yes, he rules all of the Underground, and resides in the Goblin Kingdom. Don't ask me why he picked to live in the castle there, though the goblins aren't actually as bad as people think, they are however mischievous." Jena nodded.
"I know," Sarah nodded. "They come here."
Jena looked at her for a moment then continued, "You will call him Your Majesty unless he states otherwise. He will most likely also give you rules while you are in the Underground."
Sarah nodded. "Should I be taking notes?"
Jena snorted and snapped her fingers, "That is one of the formal dresses from my closet, Jareth will most likely provide you with clothing and there's definitely room so return that when you can." She gestured to the dress that was now on Sarah.
"You're a servant but you have formal attire?"
"I'm Jareth's assistant I have to escort him to balls," Jena looked at her, "Hannah has ball gowns as well, though most of the time she's in the kitchen. If she's not she supervising in the ballroom, that's when she needs a nice dress. May we move on?"
Sarah stood and swished the skirts around her legs, "Sure."
"Just be careful, okay?" Jena pleaded, pinching the bridge of her nose and rubbing her eyes. "You're my friend and while I'm sure he wouldn't hurt you I don't want to take chances, alright?"
Sarah nodded.
"You can't leave the castle without any of us, meaning Jareth, Hannah, and me. There's also Gerard but you haven't met him yet." Jena said. "That's about it, but again, please, please, be careful."
Sarah sighed, "I will, can we go now?"
Jena smiled, "Of course." She held out her arm and Sarah looped her's around it.
---
Jena knocked on the door of Jareth's study.
"Come in," She heard Jareth say from the other side of the door.
She pushed open the door and looked at Sarah, gesturing into the room. Sarah shook her head; Jena rolled her eyes and pushed the woman into the room.
"No," Jareth froze, his pen stopped moving and he slowly looked up from the paperwork he'd been doing. "Sarah."
Sarah stared at him, frozen to her spot, eyes wide. "Jareth."
Then the moment shattered and he stood up, "Jena, what the hell is she doing here?!"
Jena stepped in front of Sarah, wincing, "She's my friend, the one who called me."
"You brought her to me without telling me?" Jareth stared at her coldly.
"Yes, sir," Jena nodded.
Sarah was clutching at the back of Jena's shirt, her head buried in Jena's shoulder. Jena turned and convinced her to look at Jareth again.
"Um," Sarah murmured, "Hello, Your Majesty."
Jareth was startled, he glanced at Jena with question in his eyes, all Jena did was gesture to Sarah. "Hello."
"Your Majesty, I wanted to," Sarah stopped when Jena collapsed behind her. She immediately turned around and kneeled next to her. "Jena?"
Jena blinked, "I'm sorry," Her voice was quite, "I'm just tired."
Jareth had come out from behind his desk, "How many times have you transported two full grown people?"
"5," Jena said, "4 times today."
"You didn't tell me when I made you transport Jody?!" Jareth was angry.
"You are my king, I should not have even questioned you once. I had to listen, Your Majesty." Jena said, her eyes drooping.
"Jareth?" The door opened and Jareth and Sarah looked up to see Richan. Jena smiled and lifted her hand to wave.
"Richan! What are you doing here?" Jareth looked from him to Jena.
"I just dropped in," He frowned and approached them, "What happened?"
"She's only transported 2 people 5 times," Jareth said, "4 of which times were today."
Richan blinked, "Your kidding?"
"No," Jareth shook his head.
"Who's this?" Richan gestured to Sarah.
"Sarah," Jareth said. "Sarah, this is King Richan."
Richan furrowed his brows, "You know what, I'm going to take her to her room and then you can explain when I get back." Richan hauled Jena into his arms and left the room.
Sarah followed him out the door. "I'll come back and talk later, Your Majesty."
Jareth sighed and went back to his desk.
Jena turned her head slightly and looked at Sarah, "I said he would know who you were."
"Yeah, you did." Sarah smiled, "Now go to sleep."
Jena nodded and turned her head again, resting it on Richan's shoulder, "Thanks for this Richan."
"No problem," He said as he placed her on her bed. He glanced at Sarah, "Why don't you go back and talk to Jareth? I'll make sure she stays in bed."
Sarah shook her head. "I should stay here."
Richan shook his head, "No, you need to talk to Jareth." He grabbed Sarah and hauled her out of the room, closing the door after he'd gone back in.
Sarah bit her lip and stood there for a moment before she went back in the direction from which they'd come.
Back in Jena's room, Richan sat in a chair across the room from Jena, reading the back of one of the books that she'd brought from the Aboveground.
Jena groaned and rolled over, "How long are you gonna stay here?"
"Until you fall asleep," Richan opened the book.
"You're lying," Jena murmured.
"Yeah, I'll stay to make sure you stay asleep," He smirked.
She stared at him and smiled, "Thanks."
He looked up from the book, "What kind of book is this?"
She blinked, "What is the title?"
"Beguiled?"
She burst out laughing, "I got that as a Christmas gift, because the person who gave it to me wanted to read it, I read it, though I never let her read it." She stopped laughing and coughed, "It's a romance novel."
"A romance novel?" He raised a brow.
She nodded, "You can read it if you want, or any other book of mine. Most of the other ones I have are sci-fi and fantasy and such, well they're fantasy in the Aboveground. Anyway that particular book gets a bit smutty towards the end."
His eyes widened slightly, "Really?"
"Yeah," She said, "really."
He set the book down and picked up another, holding it out for her to see its tatter green cover, "Dragonflight?"
"That's a good one, one of my favorites. Be careful though, it was well loved. It's part of a series, if you like that one I have most of the others. The first 50 or so pages are boring but if you can make it through them it's a good book." Jena mumbled.
"Thank you for the advice," Richan read the back of this book, "Now, go to sleep."
She sighed but closed her eyes and turned back over.
---
Sarah bit her lip and lifted her hand to knock. She frowned and dropped her hand, beginning to turn around, "No," She scolded herself. "I have to do this."
She lifted her hand once more this time she rapped her fist on the door.
"Yes?"
She pushed open the door and peeked into the room, "Your Majesty?"
"Come in, Sarah, have a seat please." Jareth gestured to the seat in front of the desk.
Sarah slowly came into the room and sat, "King Richan is making sure that Jena sleeps."
"She seems reluctant to sleep unless it is night," Jareth observed.
"Yes," She smiled, "Your Majesty, I'd like to make things right between us."
Jareth furrowed his brows, "Excuse me?"
"I want to apologize." Sarah looked down at her lap.
"Apologize?"
"Yes," Sarah nodded, "I've wanted to say sorry for a while now. I've realized that you were never the villain I thought you were and that you might not be a bad person at all. I know that I need to get to know you and I'd like to. Because I know that you did what you did because I asked."
Jareth stared at her, completely shocked.
"Your Majesty?" Sarah questioned after a few minutes of silence, "Um…King Jareth? Hello? Do you except my apology?"
He snapped back into reality, "Of course I do, I think that I've underestimated you, Sarah. You are much more mature than I would've thought." He smirked, "Though I'd have to disagree with one thing, I can be a very bad man."
Sarah blinked, startled by his comment. She decided to change the subject, "By the way, I do not think that your Labyrinth was a piece of cake even if some parts seemed abnormally easy. I don't know what I would've done with out my friends."
"Ah, your friends," He said, "You'll want to see them won't you."
"If it's not to much trouble, Your Majesty. If it is then, no I wouldn't want to impose." Sarah said.
"No trouble, I'll have them summoned to the castle sometime this week. I'll let you know when," Jareth stated.
Sarah smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
They continued talking simple conversation as he filled out paperwork, until about dinnertime.
---
Jena stretched her arms, yawning as she rubbed her eyes. The events of the day came quickly rushing back into her mind and she sat up, muttering, "Time, time, time."
She trailed off, pausing when her gaze landed upon Richan, sitting in the chair across the room. The book she'd suggested was upside down in his lapped, it looked like he was already 50 pages or so into the book. The king had his eyes closed and appeared to be asleep.
Jena swung her legs over the edge of the bed and stood. She slowly made her way over to the chair and knelt in front of him. She took the book from his lap and, pulling a bookmark out of thin air, marked his place. After setting the book and the table she murmured, "Your Majesty?"
She repeated herself several times but he didn't answer, she sighed, standing. She glanced at the clock and winced, it was almost dinnertime. She glanced back at the king and smiled fondly.
"I like you way to much, especially for how long I've known you," They'd only had about 4 meetings, 2 of which times she'd not been able to speak to him and she had to call him Your Majesty. Then there was their first and this meeting, though both they hadn't talked that much. She frowned, "I don't know a thing about you." She brushed a strand of his hair out of his face, sighing again.
She stepped back a few feet and folded her hands in front of her, "Your Majesty! It's time to wake up."
"Hm…I told you to call me Richan when not in the public eye," He said, "You were making such good progress."
"Sorry," She replied sheepishly. "I figured it would wake you up faster."
"I didn't mean to fall asleep," He scratched the back of his head, "I didn't damage your book did I?"
"No," She pointed to the table next to him, "You can take it back, I trust you to be careful with it and return it."
He smiled, "Thank you, it is interesting, the book I mean."
"I thought that you might like it, because I figured that the dragons in the book and here in the Underground are very different, so I thought you'd find it intriguing." Jena nodded.
"Do all the people in the Aboveworld think dragons are like those?"
"No, most think they don't exist, some think that they do but think that they are different then those ones." She explained.
"What time is it?"
"Almost dinner time," She grinned.
"It's already that late?" Richan blinked, "I have to go! I have dinner plans tonight!"
She nodded, "I'll let His Majesty know and tell him that you'll be back at a later date for that explanation of yours."
Richan stared at her for a moment, "Thank you."
She inclined her head, "No problem, bye."
---
Ashley stood in the hallway outside of the room Hannah had given her last night. She entered the room to find all her things, picture, books and such, in the room, Hannah told her that Jena had done it. Standing there she tapped her chin, brows furrowed in thought, "What am I forgetting? I feel like I'm forgetting something."
"Ashley!" She turned and spotted Hannah coming down the hall, a creature perched on her shoulder.
"Hey Hannah," Ashley smiled, "Who is this?"
"This is DÅSHEL," Hannah said, "He's a friend of mine. He's smaller than most of the other goblins and he stays with me a lot." She blinked suddenly, "Jareth wants to see you."
Ashley blinked, "How do you know?"
"I'm telepathic, I can read peoples minds, that's my magic," Hannah grinned, "I keep an a piece of my mind on His Majesty so if anything important comes up I know. Jena is looking for you as well. I'll take you to the library, that's where His Majesty is right now."
Ashley paused, "Now I know what I was forgetting!" She snapped her fingers and gasped as a small flame appeared at the end of her fingers, she snapped and it was gone. "Did you see that?"
"Elemental," Hannah nodded, not surprised, "Let's go see His Majesty."
Ashley forgot whatever it was that she had forgotten as she followed Hannah.
---
Ashley peeked into the room as she pushed the door open, "Your Majesty?"
"Come in," Jareth called.
Ashley stepped all the way into the library, "Hannah said that you wanted to see me."
"Yes," Jareth turned around, "Hannah tell Jena she can stop looking."
"Will do, Your Majesty," Hannah said before she headed on her way.
"You," He addressed Ashley, "are replacing Jody. Her magic and immortality have be tranfered to you, and you will take her place as head of the servants."
But I hate cleaning, she thought as she said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"You can study almost anything about the Underground and magic from these books, feel free to use them."
The door opened and Jena stepped into the room.
"Good, you're back," Jareth said, "Show her what she'll be doing and when you're done make sure Sarah is occupied."
Jena nodded, hiding a smirk, "Of course, Your Majesty. Let's go Ashley."
As they left the room Ashley glanced at her hands, "How did I get Jody's powers?"
"Magic," Jena said, "She left the Underground but the rules stated she had to be replaced, fully replaced. You replaced her so you gained Elemental magic and immortality, like Jody had."
"Oh," Ashley paused, "I'm immortal?"
Jena nodded.
"Sweet!"
---
Ashley sighed as she worked; it had taken her a few days to get used to her new job. She didn't hate it but sometimes it got boring, or was too much. She didn't do much active work she mostly directed the goblin or Fae servants. Right now, however, she was doing physical work. The basket was only slightly heavy but it could've crushed some of the goblins she been working with, before she'd left she'd given the goblins specific orders not to leave the room until she came back but just in case she'd pulled a Fae servant aside to watch them.
As she turned a corner she crashed right into someone. She gripped the basket tightly, almost dropping it, but there was extra support to help her.
"I'm sorry," The male Fae said as he helped her rebalance the basket.
"No, no it's my fault," Ashley glanced up at him and paused, he was cute, really cute.
He smiled, "I'm Marcail."
She stared at him, blinking for a moment, "Oh, um, I'm Ashley. Nice to meet you."
"The pleasure is mine," He grinned, "You new around here?"
She nodded, "I'm a replacement."
"You're human, not many humans live in the Underground anymore. Yet, there are 5 in this castle, alone."
"4," She corrected, "1 went home and I came from the Aboveground to replace her."
He blinked, "She got to go back to the Aboveworld? But she was immortal and she had magic."
"I replaced her, I've got her magic and I'm immortal now, too. She's no long immortal and she has no magic." Ashley explained, "I wanted to stay and she didn't, His Majesty let her go."
"I guess he didn't want to deal with her, she was always complaining that she wanted to go home."
"Yeah, I heard," Ashley nodded.
"So what's your job?"
"I took over for her, I'm Head Servant." Ashley told him.
"Then we should meet again," He smiled, "I'm a servant here now, I'm kind of new but I've been here longer than you."
"Oh, well," Ashley said, "Then I'll see you later."
He nodded, "Of course."
"Bye," She grinned.
---
"Jena!"
Jena turned around and glanced down the hallway, blinking. She smiled when she caught sight of Sarah, "Well, are you going to ask me where His Majesty is or do you actually want to talk to me?"
Sarah blushed, "It's been a while since we talked to each other, have you had lunch yet?"
"No, I just took His Majesty lunch and I was going to get food for myself."
"Would you have lunch with me?" Sarah asked, "We could talk for a while."
"You're just asking because His Majesty is to busy," Jena smirked.
"No, I'm not!" She blushed, again. "I just want to spend some time with my friend."
Jena smiled, "I know, you're just so fun to tease."
Sarah blinked, "You're so mean."
"I know, I know," Jena turned, "Let's go to the kitchen."
Sarah gasped, "You mean I actually get to see more of the castle?"
"All you had to do was ask and I would've taken you around," Jena said, "I could even take you out into the Labyrinth with His Majesty's permission, seeing as I can transport us back here if we got lost anyway."
Sarah frowned, "And you didn't tell me this, why?"
"It never came up?" She shrugged, "So how are things going with His Majesty anyway?"
"Uhm," Sarah smiled, "Pretty good, I think we're actually friends now. I'm getting to know him a lot better. We talk a lot when he's not busy."
She snorted, "I would know," She smirked then, "You tell him that you've got a crush on him yet?"
Sarah's jaw dropped, "Shhh!" She glared, "Why the hell would I tell him that?"
"Because you liiikkee him," She sing-songed.
Sarah narrowed her eyes, "I've only been here a few weeks, and we're only just getting to be friends."
"Sure, sure," Jena nodded, "But you do plan to stay don't you?"
"I," She paused, "I would like to."
"Good, good," Jena said. "Here we are! The kitchens!"
Jena pushed the door opened and both women entered, "Oh, Hannah!"
"Over here!" Jena walked over to the less busy part of the kitchen to find Hannah eating her own lunch, Ashley stood beside her. "Hello, Ashley."
Hannah pushed the large plate of food in Jena's direction. "Lunch."
"You knew we were coming," Jena smiled.
"You always come, I would even need to be psychic to know that. I knew that Sarah was coming with you though," She tapped her forehead.
Jena laughed, "You still don't know everything."
"Yeah, I can only read people's thoughts," She sighed, "Oh well."
Jena pinned her with a glare, "Quit it, you bragger."
"Hey, you can transport yourself from one place to another in the blink of an eye and you can perform spells and other cool magic stuff like that!" Hannah frowned.
Jena smirked, "Yes, I can."
Ashley snorted, "You are so hypocritical."
"Will I get magic if I stay?" Sarah asked.
Jena stayed silent.
"You never can tell," Hannah said, "The Underground decides, though it can be prodded in certain directions with spells."
"If you're going to stay you should read some of the books in the library and study up on magic and the Underground." Ashley explained, "I've been doing that."
"What kind of things about the Underground?" Sarah asked.
"History, geography, any books you can find really," Ashley said. "Things are different here, the sciences and fantasy elements, everything is different."
"I'll have to be shown where the library is," Sarah looked at Jena.
"You've been here for a few weeks, yet you know where nothing is."
"No one has shown me around," Sarah said.
"So let's blame it on me," Jena huffed, "Talk to His Majesty, he'll do the same thing, blame it on me and tell me to show you around."
---
Richan sat across from Jareth watching the other man finish off the last of the paperwork.
"Did you come for a reason Richan?"
"I never got my explanation," He said.
"Explanation for what?" Jareth cocked an eyebrow.
"Sarah," The one word explained it all.
"Ah," Jareth folded his hands ad set them on the desk in front of him, "Yes, she is the girl who defeat the Labyrinth 7 years ago. Jena brought her here because I requested it; Sarah is the friend who called Jena. Does that about cover it?"
"You still love the girl don't you?" Richan smirked.
Jareth glared at him, "She is a friend, we've put the past behind us."
"Uh huh," Richan nodded.
"Is that it?"
"No, you and your brother are invited to the upcoming ball I'm hosting. You can bring a few servants as usual, I'm guessing that you will bring Sarah and your brother will bring the telepathic girl…Hannah and Jena is invited as well. Try to keep the number of people you bring small," Richan cautioned, "Not like last time please, my friend. You can bring 2 or 3 more than the people I've listed."
Jareth chuckled, "I will, I will. Would you like me to have Hannah work on some food for you, I can send her to your castle in advance to prepare unique foods?"
"No, you can keep her for you grand occasions," Richan stood, "That was about, I think that I'll go see if I can find your personal assistant."
Jareth raised a brow; "You sure like spending time with her. I wonder why?"
Richan stared at him, "No reason."
"Sure, sure," Jareth nodded, Like I'll believe that. "Then I'll be off to find Sarah."
-------------------
TooDiffer2BReal- Done, finally. Sorry that it took so long. It's going to be longer in between chapters because school starts next week and I won't be able to get on the computer as often. By the way, Marcail is pronounced Mar-kale.
Jareth- So you're going to let it sit there?"
TooDiffer- Pretty much.
Sarah- Why?"
TooDiffer- Because I have to. Anyway review, tell me what you think.
