A/N Own Nothing. Thanks Miss Anonymous. I love your review and to be honest it never even occurred to me to make Morgana and Jareth have a love history, Felicia has enough to be jealous of. :)

Chapter 11: Finding Herbs
As soon as Jareth got up the next day he made arrangements for Hoggle to stay in a guest room close to Morgana's. Once the room was properly prepared he sent a few goblins to fetch Hoggle for him.
Felicia woke up earlier than she normally did. She smiled looking out of the window into the sky. She felt so rested. She hurriedly dressed and woke the children. They were also in a cheery mood. They played together while Felicia tried to get them dressed. She sent them downstairs to get some breakfast. Before she went down, she stopped at Morgana's door. She lightly tapped it, waited a few seconds, and called out that breakfast would be ready soon if she was interested. She thought she heard a groan, but decided to leave her alone. Felicia was sure that Morgana didn't get to sleep during the spell casting like they did.
Morgana heard the knock on the door and almost cried to herself. Morning already? She rolled over in bed wondering if she had the energy to get up. She spent so much the previous night. While deciding what she was going to do she fell back to sleep. That solved her problem easy enough.
Morgana was still asleep when Jareth came and banged at her door. Hoggle was waiting for her in his room and he wouldn't stop complaining. If Jareth had to hear him yell once more that he was fine he was going straight to the bottom of the bog. Morgana groaned again and tried to roll over but was in too much pain. Jareth walked in anyway demanding that she get started.
Morgan opened the bed curtains and glared at Jareth. "Look if you want this done right then you will have to wait until I fully recover."
Jareth was obviously in a bad mood this morning, "Do it now. Don't defy me."
Morgana slowly stood up and moved right in front of Jareth. "I said I can't."
Jareth's temper got the best of him and he quickly pulled the curtains open letting all the light shine in. Morgana yelled out and tried to run to the bed to hide herself but ended up falling to the floor. Once she managed to shield her eyes properly she glared at Jareth and with one flick of her hand she threw him into the wall. Seconds later Felicia and Valerie were at the door.
"What in the hell is going on?" Felicia looked around and ran to the curtains to shut them. "What are you two doing?"
"That woman refused to do the work we brought her for so I punished her."
Morgana managed to get back on her feet. "Tomorrow. I will be able to do it tomorrow. I don't have the power for it yet."
"You managed just fine when you threw me into the wall."
"Stop!" Valerie was in the middle of the room with her hands out of both of them.
Morgana looked down. "It doesn't matter anyway. Even if I could figure out what was wrong, I am out of supplies. We need to get a bunch of things and I don't trust your goblins to do it."
Felicia was glad everyone was calming down. "We can do that. Make a list of what you need and hopefully we can find pictures and we will split up and get it."
Morgana nodded and sat back on the bed. She summoned her bag to her and began to take stock of what she had. Jareth left the room to destroy something and Felicia helped her figure out what was needed.
It was mid-afternoon when everyone was ready to go picking herbs. Jareth was going to take L.J. with him and Felicia was taking Victoria. Morgana went with Ludo to get some of the more dangerous items and Valerie and Didymus were going to get a bunch that was in the same area. They all headed out hoping that hoping they would find what they needed.
Morgana and Ludo dealt with a few dragons, some orcs, and some fierys. Thankfully Ludo is strong and they were back in time for dinner. Jareth took a bit longer because he decided that it was not a very kingly task and instead played tag and hide-and-seek with L.J. Victoria took her herb picking seriously so that made it much easier on Felicia. Valerie and Didymus spent a little more time making out than they should have so they were a little late.
When everyone was finally back Jareth had the goblins serve dinner. Everyone was exhausted from all the walking. Everyone at the table was pretty quiet and Valerie and Didymus went home early. Jareth took the kids to bed and Morgana and Felicia went to check on Hoggle.
He was sitting up in his bed reading a book. He glanced up and glared at Morgana. "What do you want? I told you that I am fine."
Morgana just ignored him and sat on the bed. She looked him over very carefully. "Liar. Tell me everything that's wrong."
Felicia began to get worried and sat down on the bed too. "Please Hoggle, not just for you, but for everyone that might get better if she can do this. For me?" Felicia tried to act really sweet but wasn't girly enough to pulled it off.
Hoggle sighed. "Fine, fine. I am just really tired. I get lightheaded when I try to walk around. I sometimes get outta breath even though I'm just sittin' here. Are we done?"
Morgana tried to smile but was too busy concentrating. "Here for your cooperation I will give you something." She reached into her pocket and pulled out a little locket she had with a ruby on the front. "I know you like shiny things."
Hoggle took it with his eyes wide. He was actually happy as he added it to his other jewels. "Well if you're gonna pay me for telling you I guess I will."
"Good, I will see you tomorrow and this time stay inside of the green light." Morgana left and went to head towards her room. Felicia heard her yell something about all the stairs and laughed.
Felicia gave Hoggle a kiss on the head and went to her own room. She hoped the next day would bring good things.
