Crystal Sphere Chapter 5: Whoa! Hold up!, a labyrinth fanfic

Hey! Sorry about that little confusion there… OBVIOUSLY Word doesn't know how to work correctly. Lol Anywho, here ya go. It shouldn't mess up like it did before. AHA! I found the problem. Stupid format crap. Lol. Here ya go!

Julie sniffled as she sat in her new massive bedroom within the castle. Jareth had been kind enough to provide everything that she needed, including her clothing from Aboveground. She smiled through her tears and wiped her eyes with the sleeve of her shirt. (Yes, she's still wearing the same outfit.) She got up and strode over to the large balcony, walking out into the sunlight. A song silently played in her head and she closed her eyes as a soft breeze caressed her face and hair.

I don't wanna clear the cobwebs from my head

Time will bring them back I bet

So if you hear me say that I believe in love

Don't make me feel ashamed

I used to sing the saddest songs

And while in the meantime roaches used to climb my

Door

Falling back down to the floor

I used to read survival guides

When my world was full of seven legged cats

But here I am with eight more lives

I'm ready for the good times

Ready to get it on

I'm ready for the good times

Now that I'm not alone

Oh Oh Oh Oh

You know It

Oh Oh Oh Oh

You better not

Ignore it

I don't wanna look at fashion magazines

While someone does my nails

Sitting here watching other people live

Frozen by the fear to fail

Cause, everyday there's a war to fight

And if I win or lose never mind

As long as you're my shelter every night

I used to cry against a wall

But now I've got a shoulder that I can lean on

Swear to me you won't be gone

I'm ready for the good times

Ready to get it on

I'm ready for the good times

Now that I'm not alone.

~Shakira, Ready For The Good Times~

Julie went back inside and walked leisurely over to her wardrobe closet, opening the massive doors. She smiled as she saw her lavender bikini amidst her clothing and she took it out, leaving the bottom portion behind. She then found two white oversized handkerchiefs and pulled them out as well. She tied two ends of each handkerchief to each other and she draped it across one shoulder, the other part going around her rib cage, toga style. She then pulled on a different set of bell-bottoms, black with a glitter shine to them and lavender butterflies embroidered around the outer seams. Faeries were embroidered just below her front pockets and on her back pockets, and then on the bottom of her bell-bottom jeans. Julie smiled at her reflection in the wardrobe mirror and she skipped into the adjoining bathroom. She piled her ruby red hair on top of her head, held by bobby pins, and the curled the ends of her hair, making her look elegant. She then put on some make-up, consisting of a light pink lipstick, silver glitter lips gloss, lavender eye shadow, purple eyeliner and iridescent glitter. Julie smiled again and headed out of the bathroom, slipping some clunky 3" heels on and she left her bedroom, finally gracing Jareth' s world with her presence.

Jareth sat tiredly on his throne in the throne room, glancing at the clock. 12:15. He then looked toward the massive doors leading to the hallway. Was Julie ever going to come out of her room?

Just then, one of the massive doors gave way and Julie sauntered in. Jareth' s jaw dropped at the way she was dressed and his eyes widened in surprise. Julie smiled seductively and she walked up to him, climbing up and straddling his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her lips mere millimeters from Jareth' s. Her amethyst eyes sparkled with mischief, " Hey Jareth. What is there to do in your glorious kingdom?"

Jareth chuckled and grabbed her bottom, scooting her closer, emitting a soft gasp from Julie.

" I could name a few things…" He growled huskily into her ear and Julie shivered. She felt the intensity of Jareth' s arousal at that point and she giggled, biting her bottom lip playfully.

She raised an eyebrow, " Really? Like what?" She wiggled and he made a sound low in his throat, very close to a growl. She then got up and walked over to a window, propping herself up onto it and looked back at Jareth. He was no longer in his seat and he was halfway across the room in three quick strides, grabbing Julie and throwing her over his shoulder, leaving the throne room.

She squealed in protest, " Jareth! What are you doing? Put me down right now!"

Jareth lightly smacked her bottom and chuckled, " Why, I'm going to show you what we can do, my love."

Julie's eyes widened and she struggled to get free, " No, Jareth! Put me down!" Her attempts failed and she found herself thrown onto Jareth' s massive bed, Jareth crawling towards her like a lion stalking its prey. Julie whimpered and backed up until she hit the headboard and could go no further. His face was instantly inches in front of hers.

" You shouldn't tempt me, love." she heard Jareth say before his lips swooped down and took possession of her own in a passionate, heated kiss that made her lose all coherent thought. With a groan, Julie answered his kiss with a kiss of her own,

its intensity startling Jareth as her tongue traced along his lips. Jareth jumped back, off the bed and he drew a shaky hand through his blonde mane, breathing deeply. What the hell just happened????
