Chap. 5

After breakfast we went to the town. It looked as if there was some sort of sale or something. There were a lot of little shop stands all over the place. "Alright..time for me to find what I want!" I grinned looking purposely towards Sarah.
Sarah rolled her eyes. "Aye...you're going to drive me crazy one of these days..."
"You mean...you aren't already?! WOW! It's a new world record!" I laughed and ran around looking at different stands. "There's nothing that interests me...I mean, I don't really like jewelry....I don't like reading that much...I have my shoes..." I added lifting up one of my shoes to show Derek. "Doesn't really match...oh! I know! Derek!! Can I PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get two things???? Please?!" I asked begging, trying to use my best puppy-dog face. "Please? I'll pay you back somehow???"
Derek's eyes lit up. "Alright then" He smiled devilishly. "I already know what I want as my repayment..." He added looking me up and down.
I rolled my eyes. "I swear! If you weren't buying me anything I'd slap you! But I get two things so, oh well!" I smiled and ran off to find some clothes.
"Must find ... normal clothes...must find...normal clothes....must find..Ah ha!! Finally!" I shouted in triumph running up to a small stand that had : jeans, t-shirts, etc. I grabbed two t-shirts, black jeans, and dark blue jeans, and a sweatshirt. "Okay, Derek! Here's one of the things!"
Derek stared at me "...uh...that's more then two....."
I nodded and smiled devilishly trying to copy his smile. "Aye, but it's only one category..which is clothes...hey! you agreed to this!"
Derek sighed "Why I like you, I'll never know...making me spend money...tch." He turned to the elfin woman who was selling it and asked "How much?"
"F-Fer you, yer majisty, ....100...." She finished trying to stay calm.
Derek tossed her some coins then turned back to me. "well...go find whatever else you want..."
I grinned. "Okay! Thank you so very very much! here...hold these while I find what else I want!" I gave him the pile of clothes, and before he could protest I ran to find what else I wanted.
========
Sarah walked around looking at all the different things for sale. "Hey...how much is that??" She asked pointing to a necklace with a black crystal hanging from the chain, that had a red ruby-type jewel in the middle of the crystal.
The elfin man looked towards where she was pointing. "Ah...that..." He went over and picked the necklace up. "You have a very good eye ma'am. This..is one of the rarest stones...but...this necklace is believed to be cursed..."
Sarah nodded. "Alright...how much is it?" She asked again.
The elfin man's eyes widened. "W-Well if you stell want ter buy it...it's 1500..."
Sarah's eyes widened. "WHAT!? 1500!? Are you crazy!!?"
Jareth walked up to Sarah. "The cost doesn't matter dear Sarah, since you're not getting anything..."
Sarah pouted. "please Jareth? I...I'll make Firefly shut up for half an hour??"
Jareth looked at Sarah contemplating wheter he should get her it or not. "...Deal." He finally said. "How much was it again?"
The elfin man looked from Sarah, to Jareth, to Sarah, to Jareth, etc. "Um... Sir Jareth, fer you and yer wife, I'll give you a discount 200.."
Sarah's eyes widened. "Um...sir, I'm not his..nor will I ever be his.." She laughed as if it were unthinkable. (see..she can't even say 'wife..')
Jareth raised an eyebrow. "Here" he gave the man the money, and Sarah took the necklace staring at its beauty.
"Forgetting something?" Jareth asked skeptically.
"Oh! Oh yeah, thank you Jareth! You're not as bad as I thought you were..." Sarah smiled (a real smile) at Jareth. "Now, I think we should find Firefly.."
I finally stopped at a stand off to the side. It had old war weapons, some looked new, others looked as if they were millions of years old.
"Derek! I know which one I want!! I know which one I want!!" I pointed to a sword in back, it was double-edged, the handle was black, and had a blood red dragon wrapped around it. The blade looked sharper then any she'd seen before, and was a brilliant shiny steel which made it look as if it were just made.
Derek stared at me. "...a sword?"
I nodded. "Yep! I always always, always wanted one!"
Derek raised an eyebrow. "...Um...alright then...at least I get something out of this..."
I grinned. "Thank you!"
Derek looked at the woman running the little shop. "How much is it?"
The woman looked at him, not knowing or caring who he was. "Not like you can afford it...it's 3000..plus it's cursed too...."
I shrugged. "My life's pretty screwed up as it is...a curse wouldn't hurt" I added looking towards Derek...I really, really, really wanted this sword.
Derek raised an eyebrow "well, here you are." He tossed a bag full of coins onto the table and took the sword. "Here...hold your stuff now." he handed the things to me.
I stumbled trying to keep my balance with all the things I was holding. "...you hold the clothes..please?"
Derek rolled his eyes, and took the clothes from me. "I get my reward back at the castle" He added grinning a bit.
I rolled my eyes and turned my attention back to my sword. "This is so cool! Haha...can't wait to show Sarah..." I swung it around a few times laughing. "Wow...this is too cool! I love it!"
Sarah walked up to me placing a hand on my shoulder. "Firefly, watch out you can seriously hurt someone with that thing.."
I looked at her. "Oh hey Sar! hey! Cool necklace! Jareth bought it for you?" I looked over to Jareth, raising my eyebrows up and down. 'I knew you liked her!' I mouthed the words so Sarah wouldn't hear.
"Come on, Firefly, let's go ho-...I mean back to Derek's castle, we can go in the sparring room and stuff so you can test out your sword, I'll use one they have there!" She added smiling.
"Oh way cool! you have a sparring room and you didn't tell me!?" I looked at Derek pretending to look hurt. "Oh well...I'll race ya to the castle Sarah!" I smiled and ran towards the castle ahead of Sarah.
Sarah stood there a few seconds. "h-Hey! NO fair! Ya cheater!!!! You had a head start!" She ran as fast as she could to catch up leaving Derek and Jareth to 'walk' back.
------------------------
Sarah and I ran to the front gates, me beating her by a mile (...more like a couple feet) "you're too slow..I need a real challenge" I teased playfully. "Well, where's that sparring room you spoke of?" I asked still smiling.
"oh, yeah..I...almost...for...got. follow...me..." Sarah said between deep breaths. She walked into the castle, me following her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After many twists and turns throughout the whole castle, we found our way to a sparring room, to the sides were many various weapons, and in the middle (of course) the sparring area. There were also bleachers...but no one was there to watch so it didn't matter.
"Cool! I have my weapon! Pick yours Sar!" I said smiling and running up onto the sparring area holding my sword in fighting position.
Sarah smiled a bit and set her necklace down on one of the tables. "Alright...I choose...this" She held up a sword with a blue handle and a thin blade. She ran up onto the stage and got into a fighting position. "I'll go easy on you..." She smiled a bit.
"Yeah, right Sar. you mean I'll go easy on you..since....we've...both never used swords.....b..but that's not the point! (her face = (¬¬;) ) ...point is I'm gonna win!" I laughed and waited for her signal to start.
