Mulder looked to the castle and back again to those who stood behind him. Those he thought
were crazy turned out to be the only sane ones in this place. After he finally got through to a few
of them and enjoyed their company, he was ready to face the Goblin King.
"Go on," Jade urged, nodding in the direction of the castle.
"Yeah, get the lead out," SQ added.
"You have your partner to save," Dee spoke up.
"And not much time to do it," Princess added.
"Just pay attention," Fairy stated.
"Watch your back Mulder," Gemma offered, then continued. "I could go along and watch it for
you?" she grinned.
"Gemma!" Kara exclaimed, then turned her attention to Mulder. "Just be careful. He doesn't play
fair when he's out to win."
"Mesa knows dat," Selah replied, a goofy grin on her face knowing how much Mulder hated
Gungan talk.
"Knock it off lightsider," Essy retorted.
"Best of luck Mulder," Rita added.
"May the Force be with you," Selah said seriously.
"No, no. It goes, give yourself to the darkside. Only then will you know the true power of the
Force," Essy corrected.
"Will you two knock it off?" Princess asked.
Essy took a step toward her and thwacked her on top of the head. "Be mindful apprentice," she
stated.
"Sorry my master," Princess conceded, rubbing the bump on her head.
"Thanks, I think," he replied, a small smile on his lips.
Turning around, he walked with a sense of purpose toward the castle doors. Looking them over,
he tried to uncover the secret to their passage when they opened from the inside. Watching as a
woman stepped out into the daylight and shielded her eyes, he got the impression that it would
take more than sheer luck to find Scully, not to mention the Goblin King.
"Are you alright?" he asked, as she started to pass him by.
"Hells yes!" Poledra exclaimed with a bright smile. "Hey guys!" she called, walking away from
Mulder and leaving him to his task.
Walking up the steps, he entered the door, wishing he still had his gun. Walking down passage
after passage, he entered an opened room with a throne. "Who's his decorator?" Mulder asked,
slightly amused by his own joke.
Off to the side was a doorway that seemed to arouse his curiosity. Walking toward it slowly, he
stepped up to the archway and peered inside.
"Did you find her yet?" a voice startled him.
Mulder spun around to see the Court staring back at him. "What are you doing here?" he asked,
his voice smooth and calm.
"We came to help," Kara replied.
"I thought this had to be done alone? Isn't that the way it's done?" he asked, remembering the
book.
"Oh that," Princess shrugged.
"We never pay attention to Jareth's rules, do we girls?" SQ stated.
"Nope!" they replied in unison.
Mulder shook his head and motioned them to follow. Stepping through the doorway, he was met
with unexpected sight. There before him was a room unlike any other. Planes running every
which way, connecting and intertwining into an elaborate display of chaos. There was no way to
tell which way was up.
"Jareth!" he called, ready to get this over with and get back to reality.
Jareth appeared instantly, leaning against the far wall. A smug look on his face turned sour when
he saw his listians walk in behind Mulder. "What do you all think you are doing?" he asked
sternly.
"Give it up tights, you won't win," SQ shot back.
"Won't I?" he asked, a sneer crossing his face. "And just why would you think that?"
"Because he's got us, and you are all alone Jareth," Dee replied, pulling Mulder's jacket tighter
around her.
"Blasted listians," he muttered icily.
"Flattery will get you nowhere Jareth," Princess replied, her evil grin widening by the second.
"Mulder!" Scully's voice cut through the conversation, taking precedence over everything else.
"Scully!" he called back.
"I'm going to murder Poledra, that no good wench," Jareth muttered beneath his breath, his anger
rising.
"Say what Jareth?" Poledra asked, stepping to the front of the group.
"You know very well what I said," he replied.
"Awe, I love you too Jareth," she chided.
"Come on Jarey, give Mulder the goods," Princess stated, rubbing her hands together like a kid
on Christmas morning.
"I shall do nothing of the sort," he shot back. With a wave of his hand, Jareth emersed Scully in a
crystalline bubble that floated to where he stood. "How can you expect me to give her up?"
"Okay," Mulder retorted, shaking his head. "What do you say ladies, would you like to come
with me back to D.C.?" he asked, turning his back to Jareth.
The amount of ecstatic joy that escaped into the atmosphere was enough to make Jareth think
twice about his decision. He was about to lose all his listians, and for what? A woman that was
destined to put him through hell. This deal was beginning to look worse with time.
"You can't take MY listians," he commanded.
"Why not? You took MY partner," Mulder countered.
"Yes, but that was different. You wished her away," Jareth stated simply. Crossing his arms
across his chest, he watched Mulder carefully.
"Through dangers untold and Jedi unnumbered, I have made my way here to this castle, beyond
the lovely ladies to take back my partner with force if necessary," Mulder stated seriously.
"What is that gibberish?" Jareth asked with contempt in his voice.
"Come on Jareth, as long as he says it does it really matter? Besides, we're going with him if he
loses," Gemma countered, her smile widening at the thought of following Mulder to the far
reaches of the earth.
"You won't go," Jareth stated icily.
"You can bet your tights we will if he asks us!" Dee responded.
"It seems as though we are at an impasse, a stalemate of sorts. You've claimed Scully as is your
right as monarch, but these ladies bear no fealty to you. If my guess is correct then they are
citizens of their own respective countries back in the real world," Mulder rambled, doing what he
does best.
The listians all looked at Jareth, their eyes asking an unspoken question, 'Could you let us go?',
making Jareth squirm beneath their gaze. Feeling his situation fading into oblivion, he decided
that one woman wasn't worth his listians.
"Very well, take her and get o ut of my kingdom," Jareth stated, bursting Scully's bubble to have
her land on the cold stone floor by Mulder.
Mulder offered her his hand and pulled her to her feet. Looking back at the listians, he gave them
thanks just before disappearing back to the ordinary world with Scully at his side. Suddenly
standing his office, Mulder grinned. They made it. Though they didn't quite get what they were
after, they were still together to give it another try in the future. Jareth's days were numbered.
