Let's Do The Time Warp Again!

"That clock stopped!" cried Sarah pointing at the clock tower. Ludo shrugged. Sarah narrowed her eyes.

"Something's fishy here." She said looking around. Everything was stationary even the old hags with junk piled high upon their backs. She walked over to one and waved her hand in front of it's face. It didn't move. Usually if you get to close they would snap at your fingers and yell at you for being too close and too rude.

"Something is very fishy! Why isn't any one moving??" Sarah looked around. She started to run towards the gate of the goblin city and smashed into a gelly like wall. She rubbed her head and looked at it. Where was it? She put her hand out in front of her and saw the world in front of her ripple. She poked it again and again and every time the same thing happend.

"Hm! Now if that's not the niftiest thing you've ever seen."

"What is it?" Ludo asked.

"I don't know, but i think it's what's making the clock stop." Sarah answered.

"That's right, Sarah." Jareth said. Sarah looked at him through the barrier.

"What are you doing here?"

"I live here!" Jareth laughed putting his head behind his neck with his elbows out. Sarah and Ludo groaned.

"Okay okay, seriously. What you're in is a nice little thing I'd like to call a Time Warp." Jareth said, sitting crosslegged in the air and steepling his fingers.

"Well, how do i get out?"

"You have to wait. It'll wear out. But let me just give you a hint. Since the clock is stopped in there, doesnt mean it's stopped out here. In fact by the time you get out, you'll probably have 10 minutes left."

"TEN MINUTES?! I'm still a long way from the Goblin City I mean not THAT far, but not 10 minutes away!!"

"Hmm, yes, i do see your delema. I suggest that when you get out, you run like the dickens." Jareth smiled maliciously and twirling his crystal on his fingers like a basket ball.

"THAT'S NOT FAIR!!"

"Shut up with that fair crap! You're a grown woman, fair wore itself out a long time ago."

Sarah raised an eyebrow and leaned against the barrier, her back towards him.

"Oh yes, very mature Sarah. Turn your back, go on, have a good cry." Jareth clucked.

"Shut UP, Jareth." Sarah snapped with out looking at him.

"No, I rather like bugging you. It gives me somthing to do."

"Grrrr." Ludo snapped at him.

"Oh hello, you orange over grown orangitang! How have you been?"

Ludo roared with fury but Jareth just yawned and leaned back, still levitating. Sarah raised an edge of her lip and glared at him again. Jareth smiled sardonicly.

"Let me out!" Sarah slammed her fist into the wall, making it ripple.

"No can do, sorry." Jareth said inspecting his nails. He looked up and pouted mockingly at her. "Oh don't feel bad my little cup-cake, I'll take good care of you when you're defeated." He cackeled maliciously and disapeared.

"DAMN!" Cried Sarah.

"Where were you?" Asked Victoria and Jareth walked back into the throne room.

"No where...." Trailed Jareth.

"You were bothering Mom again weren't you!?" Victoria cried, seeing right through him. Jareth shrugged.

"Maybe,maybe not. Now, i would be a good little girl and mind your own bussiness."

"Fine. But you'll be sorry when she defeats you." Vicky said raising an eyebrow and grinning michieviously at Jareth.

Okay, I know that was REALLY short, but I'm trying as hard as humanly possible!!
