I woke up in a cold sweat, screaming.
"Oh, Goddess." I muttered after I had stopped screaming. Heather ran in the room.
"What is it, Ashley?" her voice was panicked.
"A horrible nightmare, Heather." I started to sob. She came over and put her arms around me.
"Tell me about it."
I was about to when Jareth appeared.
"I heard screaming." he siad.
"That would have been me." I said through the tears.
"What happened, love?"
"A nightmare. It upset her very badly. She was about to tell me what it was about." Heather said.
"Tell us both." Jareth said.
"It was out wedding day. Just before the wedding. Someone from one of our pasts came and . . and killed me." I started to cry again.
"It's not going to happen." Jareth replied.
"It is." Heather said. Jareth looked at her in surprise.
"She has visions. They all come true." she explained.
"Is that . . . true?"
I nodded. I sat up, wiping away the tears. I was OK now.
"Are you all right now?" Heather asked.
"Well since all of us are up, I'm not going back to sleep, why don't we do something?" Jareth suggested. I was going to say something, but Heather's snoring stopped me.
"I don't think she wants to." I said with a giggle.
"I don't think so either." Jareth said and smiled. He conjoured a crystal and threw it at Heather. She disappeared.
"Come." Jareth said, holding out his arm comically.
I got up, "I'm not dressed."
"Yes you are."
I looked down. I was in red leather pants and a black leather jacket over a black shirt.
"Thank Goddess. I didn't have to put these pants on. I would have never gotten them on. I'm going to have a hard enough time getting them *off*." I smiled.
He held out his hand with a smile.
"Let's go for a walk."
I nodded. I weighed down my choices. I could take his arm and go with him . . . or I could make a break for it. The latter. As soon as he opened the door, I ran.
"Ashley!" his voice echoed.
"Got to catch me, Jareth!" I shouted over my shoulder. He finally caught on that it was a game. Jareth chased after me. He finally caught me when we got to our garden. I fell back in his arms, exausted.
"Can you . . . change me . . . into cotton?" I panted. In a moment I was in blackcotton pants with a black shirt.
"Thanks." We sat on our swing to watch the sun rise. He kissed me. A little while later Heather got up. She had company. A. K. A. Derick. They went for a walk. When they came back, Heather was more hyper than usual. They told us the good news. They were getting married! Next January. We had a party for them. May came and went. June was here. Our wedding was the 16 of June.
