I apologize if I butcher Hoggle ' s speech. The second drabble is a different perspective 200 word drabble, for a story about cosplaying as Jareth. I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 13: 200 Word Drabbles: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing and A Different Perspective
Word Count: 199
Drabble 1:
"No, no, not that sugar! Why's would ye use brown sugar fer's a vanilla cake?"
Hoggle had been perched in a tall chair to oversee the making of Jareth and Sarah's wedding cake, but after the fourth wrong move, he was next to the goblin, jumping with shaking fists. He barely saved the cake from (insert False Alarm drum roll here) Certain Death.
"Don't yous idiots know 'ow ta follow directions? 'Ey, yous be careful with that milk!"
With as much scurrying he did, one would think Hoggle had eaten a whole batch of the forbidden sugar cookies the goblins so loved.
"Careful there, Hedgeworth. You're beginning to sound and act like me. Trying to practice being king?"
Hearing his smirking monarch, Hoggle stopped and started sweating.
"Yer Majesty, I would never-"
Jareth laughed, saying, "You wouldn't, Higgleston, since you're a coward. But, you're already turning into a -oh, how does Sarah put it - wolf in sheep's clothing, scaring these cretins into submission."
"I's just wants this cake to be perfect for-"
"Of course, Horger. Play nice with the imbeciles," Jareth sing-songed, strutting out.
"I ain't like that stinkin' rat. Don't prance like 'im," muttered Hoggle.
"I heard that."
Drabble 2: Flattery
Where was Sarah?
Annoyed at losing Sarah's attention to a computer, Jareth searched for his beloved, who said she would be fast, looking at photos of a convention, whatever that was.
When Jareth found her, he was surprised. From a distance, he thought he saw images of himself, but closer up, he realized it was not him, instead Google images. The words at the top were "Jareth cosplay". He kept seeing men and women that looked like him! All of them had such large…. codpieces. Were they mocking him?
"What is 'cosplay'?" asked Jareth.
Sarah tried to close the computer, but Jareth wanted to see more, so Sarah explained that cosplay was similar to dress-up.
"Is that supposed to be me?" asked Jareth in indignation.
"Um… yes?"
Jareth asked why they had the overly large codpieces, ready to send a plague of fireys upon anyone who dared to mock him. He was surprised by Sarah's answer.
"They just know how…. manly you are."
It all made sense. They all wanted to be him. Finally, he nodded and gave his royal stamp of approval.
"Very good."
Sarah sighed as Jareth finished with, "Perhaps we should attend one of these 'cons'."

Author's Notes: For anyone that does not know, I enjoy attending cons and following anyone who dresses like Jareth. I know they exist. And the idea of Jareth at a con entertains me greatly. Thanks for reading and reviewing! I hope you enjoyed!
SVJohnson8721: Thanks! I'm glad you can as well! Those two would fight it to the death if they had to. Thanks for reading and commenting!
The King of Ash and Roses: Yay! Another Christmas Story person! That makes me so glad that you understand the references. There's never a bad time to read Christmas stories in my mind, but wait a couple months and you'll be all set. Thanks for reading and for the review!
Smh: I'm glad you thought it was cute. While popular mythology would have fae not wait, I believe Jareth would, if Sarah asked him to. He respects her and whatever prudish beliefs she may have. And while I write fanfiction, I can tell you that Sarah will wait with Jareth. I understand what you mean, but I won't write it because of my beliefs. Thank you for reading!
