Subject: RE: Hey
Toby,
Do not worry about being proper with me. You may refer to me as simply Rel. Jareth is not usually so fussy about such things. Not like his mother!
I am fine, thank you for asking. Heavens, Draconis is not my husband! He is my friend and instructor. I know that he does not speak much, but he is not always very comfortable in man form. He is actually a dragon, you see. Perhaps if you come visit again, I will have him show you. I have a feeling that you would like that.
And yes, much to my dismay, we are still at the Castle Beyond the Goblin City. (Honestly, who thought of such a ridiculous and wordy name for a castle?)
Unfortunately, Jareth has not returned from whatever task has taken him from his kingdom. Believe me, you will know when he returns. (You will probably be able to hear his tortured screams from there.)
I wish that I could help you with your lessons, but unfortunately, I am fairly limited to fire magic. Perhaps…
I spoke with Draconis. He by no means specializes in Chaos, but he says that he should at least be able to help you with your focus exercises. They are the important ones right now to help you keep from doing yourself harm. What were the times you usually had lessons with Jareth? Until he returns, Draconis says that you may come study with him.
Sincerely,
Rel

Subject: RE: Hello
Toby,
You tease King Jareth? Oh, dear. Try not to make him angry. He's a very powerful mage. I have a feeling he must really like you and Sarah, but it's better to be careful.Who is Rob?
The crystal became red? What were you trying NOT to focus on? Something embarrassing? :-P Red? Haha. Sarah made a punchbowl explode? On accident? I hope she's paying attention to her lessons. She shouldn't be able to do things like that accidentally!
I don't really like fish that much, but it is why I chose to be an Osprey. Have fun eating mice and snakes! I don't think fish taste as weird as they do. ;-p But if you like it, that's fine. Oh, my! I'm just teasing you. You don't really remember eating them when you transform back to your original self, but I hate the idea of it. Besides, you have to stay in your bird form for quite a while before getting hungry, usually.
You look like your mom? So you are blond, then. I have dark brown hair like Sarah. Amd my eyes are brown, not green like Sarah's. What color are your eyes? Daddy doesn't have muscles? He used to be the strongest man ever. He must be getting old now... Who's Mrs. MacGregor?
Daddy and your mom met King Jareth and thought he was Sarah's boyfriend? Is that like a suitor? Haha. He's a king! Don't they know that? How silly. Why are you two keeping the magic a secret? You're both very powerful, so they're sure to find out sometime! Maybe it's better to tell them before they get a surprise...
Doesn't the staring thing make you feel like you have something weird on your face or in your teeth? It makes me nervous. Nicholas doesn't do the 'gushing'. He just acts like a jerk. It's terrible! He used to be such a nice boy. :-( At least he doesn't giggle. :-P I never heard of cooties before. I'll ask my teacher about them tomorrow. Why would you think that Sarah and King Jareth had them? And, no, he didn't tell me I HAD to call him by his title, but that's what everyone does. They call him either King Jareth or Your Royal Majesty, if they're speaking to him.
Fluffers can SORT OF sing. It's more like screeching, but you can hear the tune, kind of. The best part is the dancing. He's so funny, bobbing up and down. I had him do it one time when I was taking a bandage off of Emma's knee (she fell down and scraped it up and we wanted to see if there was a scar), and she was laughing to hard to notice. I think he will be a big help to me. :-)
And, no, Fluffers didn't poo on HIM. It was on his cloak! But don't tell him anything! He probably thinks it happened at his castle. Do the chickens still run freely through the whole castle? If I had a house full of chickens, I might kick them like he does, but I find that one chicken is just perfect.
Marcel is right. We usually only make rainbow cake on special occasions, and having my brother and sister come for a visit would be a VERY special occasion. Have you met the Lady Rel? I've never met her, but I heard OF her. What's she like? Do take care of Cluckers around her. It seems that he catches fire easily, from what you told me before. You wouldn't want to have anymore accidents with her around. Some animals are just more flammable than others.
I'll TRY not to worry about King Jareth. He was always so kind to me. I'd hate to think anything was wrong. If I hear anything, I'll be sure to tell you. You tell me if you hear anything.
Lots of Love,
Bethany P.S. Love is not 'girly'! There's nothing wrong with loving your family. I'd think there was something wrong with you if you DIDN'T love your family. And Cluckers. :-D

Rel,
Oh that's good. Im never sure about these things...Jareth's mum is strict bout it? Ill keep that in mind in case I meet her.
Hey does she know where Jareth is??
Mr. Draconis is a DRAGON?? I MET A DRAGON AND NO ONE TOLD ME?? WHY?? He was really neat. I was wondering why his moustache looked a bit funny...no offense. He'd show me that he's a dragon? That'd be awesome! I am supposed to have a lesson tonight but Sarah wanted to practice with me...
so you're still at the castle. It is a really long name for it. Why dont they just call it the Goblin Castle?
Tortured Screams? Uh oh...but you still dont know where he is. Its been almost a week. Is he ever gone like this before??
Mr. Draconis would be willing to teach me? Or help me focus a bit? Sarah and I have been meeting Jareth late on Wednesdays and Fridays, and like 7 on Mondays. Could Sarah come too if we did a lesson tonight?? Do you want to email her to ask her? She has email too (she's on it alot). It's FairiesByte(a)yahoo com
Thanks for the info...From, Toby

Subject: RE: Hello
Bethany,
Do you happen to have a nickname? Your name is kinda long to type...
I dont tease Jareth that much. What happens after isnt really good...Sarah teases him a bit and he doesnt really seem to mind. Rob is Sarah's neighbor. They're friends. Jareth and Duncan dont like him but I dont know why. He's kinda neat. In a um, boring sorta way. He's nice.
yeah, the crystal became red. I was focussing on...promise not to tell anyone? Good. Well...see Sarah did this scavenger hunt at my B-Day and me and Maggie went off for a clue. We thought it was in the Laundry room. Maggie then said she really liked Jareth's crystal spinny thingy and I went and told her how great I was at it and that Jareth was teaching me. Um...I then did some of the simple focussing tings Jareth had me doing and Maggie said she thought it was 'the coolest thing ever'.
Um, then she giggled and gave me this smile and she um...she tapped me on the arm. Weird. Cause she usually hits me and then she went and did that. She's not really a 'tapping' person. She's just like...one of the guys. But then she did that girly thing. And I was um, just trying to not focus on that (and some other things) and well, the crystal went red.
Does that make sense?
Yep. Sarah did that on prom night. Plus some other things...You'll have to ask her for the whole story though as she's the better storyteller. Plus I was really little and Sarah doesnt like to tell everything.
She's paying attention now though. Mostly. Probably more now that Jareth's not been giving lessons.
Haha! I was right! Bout the fish. Jareth tried to give me a mouse the first time I became a Hawk...it didn't really go that well. I ended up in the Bog (dont worry I dont stink!) after.
I've got blue eyes like my Mom does. Dad has brown eyes so you must get that from him. And Dad doesn't really have muscles...no matter how much he says he's gotten them from Fishing. I think he might be going with Rob sometime soon...
Mrs. MacGregor is this old lady (who looks like she's old) from next door. She babysits me now that Jill my old sitter is gone. She's kinda crazy, always talking 'bout the 'good ole days' and pinches my cheek too much.
She's a big fan of gameshows though and I always make sure to put them on on Mondays. ;)
A boyfriend is someone who, um, - how do you not know this?? - he's um someone who likes a girl. And they um, kiss and stuff. They dont always get married (they often break up) but sometimes they do. So MOm and Dad thought Jareth was Sarah's...suitor I guess is alright though not really the right word according to Dictionary dot com.
And what's so funny about that?
I dont think were going to tell Mom and Dad anytime soon. They'd freak. completely.
Yeah it does make me feel like I forgot to wash my face even though Mom told me a gazillion times to. It makes me feel...weird. In my stomach. And up where my heart is but that's just crazy, isn't it??
Y'know, I said this to Sarah but if Nicholas is ever really mean to I'd go and take care of him. Really if he's your age I can take him on. I'd go watch those videos at Blockbuster on how to do Karate in an hour and I'd show him not to mess with you! I'd give him a punch here and a thwack there, and a hi-yah! and a...
So if something ever happens you just let me know. I'd be there. And I'm going to be ther for Sarah too if anyone does anything to her. Like I promised with Jareth.
I thought Sarah and Jareth had the cooties because they were always touching each other. And Sarah was having trouble focussing. And Jareth took naps. And they just had this look in thier eyes. Weird. LIke they were going to start the mushiness. Blech.
I dont think you have to call Jareth 'king jareth'. When he talked about you he seemed to like you. A lot. Defintely enough for you just call him Jareth.
At least in emails.
Fluffers sounds so awesome! I'm really jealous. I cant wait to meet you and him. Sarah can't either.
I'm still laughing bout Jareth's cloak...did he notice?? Yeah the chickens are still everywhere but that's what makes it so awesome! I dont really like kicking them though. The goblins do...
I met Lady Rel the other day. I think I might see her and her friend Mr. Draconis tonight. Have you met a dragon before? Parently he is one and no one told me until after I met him! So COOL!
Lady Rel was...interesting. She's a fire element and she has this habit of setting everything on fire. She's not a big fan of putting out the fire though.She was kinda worried when I met her though, so she's probably different normally. She was Sarah's age I think, and she has has kinda crazy hair that went in her face.
Ive still not heard 'bout Jareth but if I do ill let you know.
Lots of Love, Toby
P.S. Well love isn't really girly but talking about love and passing love all the time is kinda girly. Or frilly. And of course I love my family. And Cluckers. Most of the time. I liked him a lot when I got email...at the moment he's pulling at my toe so I'm not sure how I feel 'bout him at the moment...

Toby,
I'm glad you had a good time, isn't that what birthdays are for? Partying?
Anyway, sorry for not writing back, mom shiped me off to dance camp. Yes, i said it, dance camp. It was... there is no words to describe it! Pink dresses, leggings, and the two twos!
Jareth? What kind of funny name is Jareth? oH never mind, his coolness makes up for the funny sounding name! He's teaching Sarah too? I want to see her try to do it, i think it might be funny.
Why would Jareth want to take balley? it's the most horrible thing in the world! But him in a dress would be funny... very funny.
So, no lessons from Jareth... but you'll teach me? Sweet! I can't wait! Elfwars will be so cool after this! We'll have to make the other guys play too, even if they think I have cooties. We will beat them!

Lady Relisasha
Dearest Lady,
I attempted the scrying last night and regretfully came up with no results. Jareth is for some unknown reason blocking my ability to locate him. There is something serious happening that he must not want us being privy to. I'm beginning to wonder if Chenea troubles are resurfacing.
I knew I would eventually contact the girl but I always believed it would be through my son and not these means. I would normally refrain from such practices without Jareth's knowledge but things appear rather desperate. I will contact Sarah and see if she could provide any clues.
I appreciate your concern for my son, Relisasha. Your continued vigilance means so much to me. Good luck in keeping a level head. You appear to have more patience than I ever could manage.

Hey Rob,
Um. I was thinking about last night for most of the day, and… I just wanted to check and make sure we're cool. I know you said we were, but… I still wanted to check.
Like I said last night, when I came out in the hall to talk, I really am flattered, and… oh, Rob, you're one of the best guys I know! And I know that one of these days, you are going to find the right girl, and she will be so blessed and so lucky to have a man like you in her life… I'm just not her. It's… it's terribly unfair, and I'm sorry. You're so wonderful, you really are, but… the heart wants what the heart wants, right?
And… the more I think about it, I think my heart wants… something I never thought it would want.
Are we cool? Please say we're still friends… I hope so, and I… I really hope I didn't hurt you.
Talk to you later,

Hey Toby,
Mom took away the glass ball that you let me borrow to practice with, she said I should be practicing something more practal, or something. Not that I can keep the ball off the ground for more than a minute.
We still have to battle to the death in elfwars, too bad mom thinks I should be at home before dark, we could have finished the battle and started the next one. The other boys didn't stand a chance! We used the secret orb powers to beat them to the ground. I'm going to have to use my new war cry on them next time!
Oh, mom's calling me and Becca, gotta go!

First and foremost I want to apologize for not getting to you sooner. My idiot brother was ironing... yes ironing, his bathroom counter tops! Apparently he didn't like the counter tops so he put floor tiling on it. Well, floor tiling doesn't bend for the sink so he had to remove it. Removing it by ironing a wet towel and steaming it. Low and behold he burnt the towel. Chaa! Idiot.
I totally understand. It's hard to be mad at someone you love. I was probably over reacting anyway. I mean I don't know him as well as you do and he probably has important work to do. He is a King and all... ah screw I can't convince myself that I'm not mad at him... sorry...
Men tend not to know those things. They're a little out of touch with emotions. Still, ignorance is not an excuse.
Yeah... I know the feeling... that makes me worry more... Cue dramatic music...
I should be able to come today... Provided Jake doesn't burn anymore towels.
He did to break your heart. You don't have to make promises or even give your heart away to make promises. trust me, it's one of the strongest and at the same time the weakest point we have.
See ya as soon as I can!

Hi Maggie,
Drats she took that one? Is there any way to get it back? I've got some extras...but since Jareth and I've slowed our lessons down (Im not quite sure when we're starting them again) i dont have a way to get any extras. Sarah might have some. Ill check. You try and get it back, 'kay? It's not really good for them to get in the...wrong hands.
Like in the game we played yesterday, 'member? Remember what happened when we let the crystal get in the otherhands? The other boys had the power of it and since the High King and Queen were behind it we lost for a bit before we fought back! We would have beat them once and for all today 'cept you had to go home...your Mom really is picky about these things.
I get the feeling she doesnt like me. Funny since she and Mom get along ok.
We'll beat them tomorrow though! They've got nothing against us while we have the crystal powers. 'Sides - your war cry is awesome. They all had to cover their ears and then we got them good!
Great now my mom is calling me. Ugh. mothers.
See ya tomorrow!
From, Toby
P.S. You're getting much better at the crystal spinning. It just takes practice. Which means more lessons...

Lady Sarah
I have heard so many wonderful things about you and always hoped to make your acquaintance. I wish it could be under better circumstances. I am Jareth's mother and am in dire need of your assistance. I have not heard from him in nearly a week and now I am quite concerned. He has left his kingdom without leaving it under anyone's care despite the obvious consequences. His apprentice has been gracious enough to keep an eye on things in his absence but I don't know ‑
how much longer her patience can last. I guess what I am asking of you is if you know anything about my son's whereabouts. Any details, no matter how seemingly insignificant, could prove helpful. Any assistance you can provide will mean the world to me.

Toby,
Yeah she took it, but I know where she hides stuff like that. Top dwoor of the desk in her study, she still has those baseball cards I got from one of the guys at school last year. But i will be a secret agent and get that ball back, wether or not she likes it. Secret magical balls shouldn't be messed with by moms.
My mom doesn't like anybody, i dont think she does anyway, not even me with the stupid dance lessons she puts me through. I wouldnt worry about her she's just like that.
My new war cry is even better! its like a shreak and a yell and a lot of other noises mixed together. I bet they cry when they hear it! Then we will take their kingdom for sure!
Great bed time see you in the morning!

Dear Sarah,
Sorry for not getting back to you earlier, dear. You know how it is around here... We just recently had someone move in down the street. I did my normal thing, what with the baking and house warming gifts just to welcome her into the neighborhood. I think the only good thing that I can say about that visit was that I got to keep my brownies. The woman was vile and rude... and possibly certifiably insane. (that last part is courtesy of Toby. We share the sentiment, I think...)
On your Jareth, it most definitely was NOT just the costume. You know that too. I may be old, (well, older than YOU), but I'm not stupid. That young man really likes you, dear. Your father agrees with me. He grumbles every time I mention Jareth, and that says something, you know.
I have been playing the game we got Toby for his birthday. I was, quite humiliatingly, terrible at it when I first played against him... so I've been practicing while he's away. Its so juvenile, I know, but the game is strangely fun. Not to mention the addictive properties of it.
I must go, dear. I love you,
Karen

Hello… Mumsie? I'm sorry, I had no idea what your name was! Jareth always just called you 'Mumsie'. I am pleased to hear from you. I, too, had hoped to meet you, but most definitely under better circumstances.
Um. You haven't heard anything from Jareth, either? I… I thought that perhaps he had been with you… I'm afraid that I haven't… well, I don't have much to offer you, to help. Still, if it helps at all, I can tell you about the last time I saw and heard from him.
Last time I saw Jareth, it was after… after Toby's party. Toby is my younger brother… though, I'm sure you know that. Anyway, Jareth came with me back to my apartment and we… well… he gave me a kiss. Then he left. That was the last thing I saw of him…
Oh dear, I didn't… I didn't violate some treaty by kissing him, did I? I don't know anything about propriety of this sort of thing, Underground… that's the only reason why I mention it at all… Good heavens. That wouldn't cause a problem, would it? He isn't, like, betrothed to some Fairy Princess, and kissing him caused a civil war or something, did it?
No, that couldn't be it, because…
Okay, the last time I officially heard from him, was an email he sent me, earlier in the week. Whoo… I'm sorry, this is awkward, explaining this to his mother.
It wasn't like his normal emails. There was no introduction, no signature to it, no greeting, no nothing. Only a question. He asked me what I would say if he were to ask me to come Underground, permanently. That was it. I responded, confused, and actually hoped for a little clarification about his question, but he never responded to that.
I've spent the last week trying to find out all I can. He never came to take me to our lessons like he usually does, and I even… well, I thought perhaps this was a test, and he wanted me to try coming on my own, but I got so frustrated and it didn't work.
Which reminds me… I hope you don't mind me asking but… if a person accidentally shot purple magic goo all over their hallway, a goo that faded but left a swirly stain on said person's tan carpet, is there a way to remove the stain? I'm just curious.
But, back to Jareth. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. I'm worried, as is Toby. I try to keep calm about it, so I don't worry Toby, but this is not like Jareth at all. He left the Kingdom? Oh no. No. That's bad. His apprentice? Wait. Oh, that's right, that would be Lady Rel, wouldn't it? Is she still his apprentice, even though she left him like that?
Toby mentioned that he met her. I'm glad she's there, but from what I heard, I think you're right about her patience. Has Jareth ever done anything like this before? Why would he do that? Why would he just leave everyone? The goblins, his friends, his family, those who… worry about him? I'm so confused. I just don't understand.
Again, I'm sorry that I can't offer you more information. Believe me, if I had anything, I would let you know. If I hear anything, I will let you know.
Sincerely,
…

Dear Karen,
That's okay. Things have been pretty crazy on my end of things, too. Urgh, I understand the neighbor thing. The people that live on the other side of me – not Rob, he's a great neighbor – are up at all hours of the night, and I always hear their TV on… man, I hate their cable. I tried talking to them about it once and… yeah. You probably don't want to hear what their response was.
About Jareth…
I've been doing a lot of thinking this week. You really think he did? Like me, that is. Really? Dad is grumbling. You might be right…
But… I mean… what would you guys think if I did, um, like him? I haven't talked to him about anything… heck, I haven't seen him in a while… but, the more I think about it… would Dad die? Would me dating Jareth kill Dad? Not that I'm dating anyone. Not that Jareth would want to date me. I don't know. I think his mom likes my cooking. That's a good sign, right? Perhaps?
Ack! I'm so danged confused! Things are so crazy right now!!
Sorry about that. I need to have another girl night with Sue. Bad.
So… you've been playing Guitar Hero, have you? I had a feeling you'd like it. Heck, you totally adored the DDR machine at the mall. Lol. Perhaps I'll have to practice on it, too, and battle against you.
I have to go, myself. See you later,

Why are your brothers even allowed near electrical outlets?? Seriously.
But… I'm one to talk. Toby was climbing my bookshelves when he was three and setting things on fire when he was five, including the cat's tail…
Brothers. It seriously has to be a boy thing.
I never said that I love… love? Could I be? I… Oh gosh. I can't think about love right now.
Go ahead and be mad at him. One of us ought to be. I ought to be. But… I'm too worried.
You won't believe, though, who emailed me.
Want to take a guess?
Go on. Guess.
Okay, ready for it?
Ready?
Jareth's mother.
…
Okay, now, pick your jaw off the keyboard. I am not joking. His mother. I'm not exactly sure how she got my email address…
DO YOU KNOW WHO SHE IS?? Aside from his mom, I mean.
She's the former Goblin Queen.
And she emailed me. She addressed me as 'Lady Sarah'. Holy cow, I had no idea how to respond. I took a guess at the formalities of it all, and hoped I didn't offend her or anything.
But… oh gosh. She emailed me because… Jareth really is missing. He just left everything, even his Kingdom, and no one knows where he is, not even his own mother! And, believe me when I say that if anyone would know where he was, it would be her. He thinks very highly of her, and has been in close contact with her lately.
But she doesn't know where he is. She was emailing to see if I happened to know… but of course I don't.
I'm… really frightened, Sue.
Plus… Rob. He wanted to know if anything was wrong, and I told him that I was worried about Jareth because he's fallen off the map (No, don't worry, Rob has no clue who Jareth really is. He thinks he's a musician, giving Toby guitar lessons and me piano lessons). Then he sent me an email, after you left the other night, asking to talk to me in the hall, because…
Because, as he said in the hall, his face as red as a beet, he's felt very strongly about me for a while now, and that I deserve someone who could be dedicated to me… like him.
I gently explained that he deserved a good woman, and he would make some woman very happy and she would be so lucky to have him in her life… but that she just wasn't me.
Because… I think my heart wants someone else.
Talk about that being the hardest thing I've ever had to say to anyone. I let him down as nicely as I could, I really did! But… I still think I hurt him. He's been quiet, he's not responding much, and when I see him in the hall, he smiles but quickly has to be somewhere else.
I feel like a heel.
Think I could depend on you, when you come over next, to take some 'I'm so sorry' cookies over to him? I tried once, but he wouldn't answer the door. Maybe he will if it's you. Who could resist a spunky red-haired girl, with your smile? Charlie Brown never could. LOL.
Call me when you can.
Talk to you later, girly,

Your Mom doesnt even like the new neighbor that crazy lady - Ethel Camper or something like that. Shes got a gazillion cats and when she saw Cluckers she looked like she was going to nab him! Im glad your Mom doesnt like Ms Camper though - because Ms Camper is insane. Who else looks at you like you have a horn growing out of your head?
...um, never mind. too fantasty close y'know? Hehe...
Our war cries let us win today! And think they all said that we'd lose just because you were a girl. They didnt know what they were talking about. :D
Plus we can do the crystal spinning which the others can't.
See you later!
Toby

Toby,
Mom found out I took it back this afternoon after I got home. But I saved it by telling her my balley teacher told me I had to practice with it! i know its a lie, but if i want to get better I had to, right?
I'm sure mom would let me give you the stack of baseball cards in the dwoor, they're not lady like so I can't keep them.
That cat lady is strange, the other day she yelled at me for trying to bet one of her kittens. mOm's illergic to cats, that's why she doesn't like the cat lady, and why i'm only alloud to keep a pet goldfish.
horn? I am not going to even ask...
how many times do I have to tell those boys that me being a girl has nothing to do with my abilitys in war? Maybe they will pick me for their team next time! I wont keep my hopes up though, they still think I have cooties. its not like cooties are real anyway!
I've been practing the crystal spinning by the way, i only dropped once on the car ride back from this evenings balley lesson. Mom was proud, she got me ice cream.

Dear Sarah,
Oh, your dad would most definitely NOT die if you were to date Jareth, honey. (You can't see it, but I am rolling my eyes grandly at the thought of it.) A minor heart attack, maybe, but he will be fine eventually! Trust me on that one. To think all the years he complained about you NOT having dates and acting the way he does now...
I've pretty much summed it up to his midlife crisis. He thinks that if you start seriously dating, that he will be old. Ugh. Men.
Sarah, who wouldn't love your cooking? Its very nearly sinful.
I think you having a girl night would be a great thing at the moment. You sound absolutely frazzled, dear. If you need anything from the house or just a break from your place, you can always come over here. Toby would be ecstatic... Oh! And we could bad mouth the new 'crazy cat lady' neighbor. (Another Toby dubbed name, dear.)
Love,
Karen
