Letters from a Mutual Friend

by tmwillson3

Sarah is off to college, but she still wants to talk to her three favorite friends. Her solution: letter writing! These are the letters written by Hoggle, Ludo, and Sir Didymus together to Sarah, and later to Jareth when he discovers what has happened, because naturally, he also is curious about Sarah. Focus on trio, with eventual J/S. Currently in Sarah's sophomore year

He must have some really good ear plugs hidden away. College continues slowly for Sarah, so it is good to have friends who are willing to listen to her and talk about it. Now, on with the story! Enjoy!

[Dear Sarah fwiend] [Dear Big College Girl]

Dear Sarah,

It was great hearing from you again! It sounds like college is becoming quite busy for you, between classes and all the adventures that you are having. It is interesting to hear about your "major". Becoming a teacher, based on your description, sounds like a very noble job to do, so that you can help others grow and learn to be better people. Acting sounds like an odd choice for a "minor" with teaching, but if you enjoy it that much, then that is all that matters, that you follow your dreams. Will you be performing soon? Is it anything that we would know?

We hope you are remembering to get sleep as well as you continue to work. Since you are not a magical being, you need more sleep so that you can stay healthy [or so we are told by Jareth]. If you find that you are skipping sleep to write to us, we hope that you will wait until the next day when you are more refreshed. It is not helping your sleep with all of those people around you, either. Your roommate is smart to leave the room more often during the day to escape the noise and study properly, so it might be wise to join her. That way, you don't have to feel as though she is abandoning you.

Hopefully, you can find another way to deal with the loud people in your hall. Between the music during the day and the yelling at night, there seems to be no respite for you. You ought to consider bundled chicken feathers; they are excellent for keeping out [the ghastly roosters at midnight who make the noise to begin with, or the loud goblin celebrations] any unwanted noise. We hope you will continue to think of clever ways to stop the noise, such as when you snuck into the lounge area and stole the "cord" to stop the music. Speaking of "cords", what are they, as well as a "computer"? Have you named your "computer", just as your roommate did?

Also, if the pranks are not doing the job, attending one of their parties with them might be the way to help. That way, it will help you to understand them, and let them see that you have no ill will toward them [other than that they all lose their voices for the rest of the semester, or suddenly "misplace" their loud music], so that they calm down. We hope that you will have fun, but remember to keep water with you at all times, just in case of unexpected fires. If you find that you would like us to be there [to keep His Majesty happy] for protection [or company], just let us know before you attend the party.

Back here Underground, life is a little less crazy. Sir Didymus continues in his duties to serve His Majesty, providing [information about you] companionship and protection for him. Hoggle stays busy with his spraying and gardening with even more tomatoes of late, so he is including some of those, as well as carrots, with this letter since you asked for some. If you want recipes, Hoggle is becoming quite a good cook, so something could be found that would suit your kitchen-less new home. Finally, there has been some news about Ludo's family! A meeting is arranged for next week between Ludo and His Majesty, so we will let you know what we hear. Otherwise, we wish you well in your classes, and that you stay safe as you have fun.

Take care, and best of wishes,

Hoggle, Ludo, and Sir Didymus

Author's Notes: A party is on the horizon! What mischief is in store, and does Jareth have anything to say about it? Loud music, crazy college students, plus Sarah: now that will be an interesting combination, assuming that there are no other unexpected additions to the party. Stay tuned for more mischief! Thanks for reading/commenting! I really appreciate it!

BIG Thank You! to Kyndsie( u/4143692/Kyndsie) , who continues to be an awesome beta and really knows her stuff! She makes me smile with all of her comments! (And it makes her smile when others comment on her stuff) She even reads while at jury duty when she could be slacking off or writing her own stories. Dedication right there!

Thanks also to anyone who has taken the time to comment so far!

Artemis Day: Sarah's responses are very interesting; it will be worth the wait to see her reactions, if you ask me. Jareth scaring the living daylights out of rowdy college students is an image that often makes me smile wickedly as well. It is my fondest wish to make that happen, for all our benefits. Sooner, rather than later. Thanks so much for reading; it's great to hear from you!
