Authors Note: More story! And More Aidan! It needed more Aidan in it, there wasn't enough. If you read please review forgive me for punctuation errors I'm horrible with that

"So let me get this straight, you're here because if you are in contact with my sister long enough the Goblin King is bound to see you right?"
"Those would be my reasons…" the goblin couldn't possibly understand how this mortal could be so stupid! This above-ground mortal, who called himself Jacob had asked for an explanation of the situation at least fifteen times.
"Which means that my sister is being watched at times by the Goblin King…"
"Yes Aidan does spend large amounts of his spare time watching your sister," this was nuts this Jacob person was even stupider than he was!
"And this Goblin King of yours, Aidan, only watches my sister in particular, making it safe to assume that he has amorous inclinations towards her?"
"What does 'amorous inclinations' mean?"
"It's safe to assume he's in love with her?"
"Oh yes right!"
"So to sum this up my recently turned sixteen year old sister is being stalked by a horny centuries old Goblin King."
"Not 'a' THE Goblin King, and yes. And because of this fact if I hang around her enough Aidan will see me and I can go back to the underground." Finally the mortal was catching on!
Jacob had flung himself onto the sofa and was trying to absorb all the information that had been flung onto him in the last hour.
"He does know that since she is not yet eighteen she isn't legal, and if he is found out by the authorities their could be serious consequences!" The goblin looked at him blankly.
This is so very wrong, though Jacob. He now was going to have to rethink his religious beliefs (he had presently believed in nothing, but a goblin king though not necessarily a god was definitely something.) And this trip which he had taken to help his sister through her "problems" was certainly going to be a lot more interesting.
Jacob suddenly bolted up from the sofa, startling the Goblin who had been messing around with a table lamp.
"No way no how are you hanging around my sister!" shouted Jacob, not as an order but more as a realization.
The startled goblin peeked out from under the chair where it had taken cover. "Um, but hadn't we come to the understanding that that was how I was going to return to the underground?" the goblin tried to remove itself fully from under the chair only to find that it was stuck.
"But," said Jacob attempting to help the Goblin un wedge itself, "if you hang around her then she knows you exist. And if she knows you exist then she knows Aidan exists and she most likely will find out why he's watching her. Now picture yourself as an adolescent girl, now picture that you had just been told that a really hot, really powerful Goblin King was in love with you. Not exactly the situation I would like my sister in. Which is why you will not be hanging around her."
"But," groaned the Goblin trying to do his best to help Jacob who was now braced up against the wall trying to get the goblin out, "how will I get home?"
"Well for now you won't'" said Jacob giving one last tug, which freed the goblin causing the goblin to go flying through the air and land on the kitchen counter, "but having you here might just be a very good way of solving this Aidan Madison problem."
The goblin lay sprawled on the counter for a few minutes trying to get the recent happenings to move their way through his brain. Jacob removed hi luggage from the living room where he had left it and moved it into his old room next to Madison's.
"I guess you'll stay in my room," said Jacob looking at the goblin. The goblin nodded and jumped onto the floor.
"Well since we are going to be roommates I might as well know your name, as you already know I am Jacob."
"I am Goblin 64-E-85H5J," said the goblin standing at attention and saluting, or at least attempting to do something that on a body of regular proportions might look like a salute.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! I am not calling you by that! Sorry but I'm not even calling you 64 for short. We're going to have to come up with a better name."
"Really?!" said Goblin 64-E-85H5J jumping up a down euphorically (or as euphorically as an overweight Goblin can manage), "I've always wanted a real name!"
"Hmmm….," though Jacob, "I'd always wanted to name a dog Elvis, but my boyfriend was allergic to dogs, but not only are you not a dog, but I don't have a boyfriend, so, if it pleases you form now on your name is Elvis."
"Oh thank you! This is terrific I have my own real name!"
Aidan peaked into the throne rooms to make sure it was devoid of goblins, just as he had hoped it was.
"Bird hat!" he whispered loudly to the Bird Hat who was fast asleep on its table, "Yo! Bird hat! Wake up!"
"Why yes… I am as handsome as they come…no…I don't have my own nest…the kings palace…very snazzy…I'm partial to tea leaves myself…Oh!" said the Bird Hat finally coming to, "why hello your highness, is their anything I can do for you?"
"Did you meet a female bird hat?" asked Aidan trying to piece together the meaning of the bird hat's sleepy ramblings.
"Hmmm? Me no! No, no, no. Where or, why for that matter, would I meet a female bird hat."
"What's her name?"
"Rhiannon, sigh."
"Am I the only one besides the goblins without a significant other?"
"Well your statement isn't quite true…"
"Who else doesn't?
"Not exactly, everyone has someone including the goblins, I'd recommend you just go to some neighboring kingdom and have a fling with a princess."
Aidan was too exasperated to respond, he loved Madison apparently everyone knew that. So why did they make him deny it? All he wanted was to be able to get Madison. But he knew she was too young, far too young. A wild spirit and naive mind are not a good mix, especially when the mind denies that it is naïve.
"Send that Goblin that was so rude to me a while ago to clean my chambers, order him to get me some soup and some tea as well."
Aidan walked back into his chambers, he took off his cloak. Aidan was in no mood for dramatic pacing anymore. He felt so depressed that he couldn't even get himself to reach his crystal to watch Madison. Actually, he realized the last thing he wanted was to watch Madison. Aidan looked down at the broken shards of crystal still on his floor, they all seemed so dead in their broken state.
A whole crystal has a certain life to it. A wonderful magical healthy glow. The glow is the glow of magic. Anything with magic in it has some form of glow, a sort of energy. But once a crystal brakes the magic brakes as well, leaving the crystal dull and lifeless.
Aidan had seen it many times, he had broken many crystals. But he had never found it so sad. He stood there looking at the broken shards, getting more depressed by the second. He stared at them till his vision blurred, and a tear dropped onto the stone floor among the broken crystal.
