Chapter 5, so, do you guys love me yet?
(Jareth walks into the room)

Jareth: "WHY DO YOU INSIST ON EMBARASSING ME?? DO YOU DERIVE
SOME PERVERSE PLEASURE FROM THAT??????? (muttering under his
breath) not that I mind watching Sarah dress and undresss,
though I much prefer the undressing part...

SelenityPotter: JARETH!!!!! There are children reading!!!!!
Never mind him, I think his tights are a little too tight, not
that I mind...

Jareth: I heard that!

SelenityPotter: (pointedly ignoring Jareth) Anyway, on with the
story!!! (muttering to self) Memo to me, annoy Jareth some more.
------------------------------------------------------------------
She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red then she was color blind
All her friends they've been tried for treason
And for crimes that were never defined
She's saying, "Love is like a barren place,
And reaching out for human faith
Is like a journy I just don't have a map for"
So baby's gonna take a dive and
Push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging
All her hopes on the stars
What a pleasant dream...

Savage Garden was once again blaring in the background. Sarah
tapped the end of her paint brush against her chin as she studied
the painting in front of her. People littered the ballroom on the
inside of the crystal. However there was a space up front and
center of the painting, waiting for Sarah to place the final couple
in the painting.

Jareth glared at Sarah through the crystal. 'What are you up to?'
he thought to himself. 'What are you trying to do?'

Sarah streched, smiling to herself. "Almost done. Finally," she
sighed to herself. Sarah waltzed into the kitchen for lunch.
About 20 minutes later, Sarah returned to find her painting upside-
down.

Jareth grinned into his crystal at the annoyed expression on Sarah's
face.

Sarah glowered at the painting for a second before returning it to
it's proper position. "Jareth, I wish that you would get a life!!!"
With that she made a few very rude gestures to the air and sat down
to paint some more.

If looks could kill, the look Jareth was giving Sarah would have
killed her a thousand times over.

*Somewhere in the hedge maze*
Hoggle looked nervously over his shoulder at the castle. Praying
fervently that Sarah had gotten his attention.

Sarah streched and smiled at the completed painting. Jareth was
dancing with her. The painted Sarah was looking up at the Goblin
king with wonder painted on her face (no pun intended). Jareth
was looking down at Sarah with an unreadable expression on his face.
An evil grin flitted across Sarah's face. Now, the ball was in
Jareth's court.

Jareth looked at the painting, confusion written all over his face.
Why would she paint that? And why was he nervous about that grin
Sarah had on her face...

"Sarah, open the damnn door!!" Sarah rolled her eyes.
"Chill Raven, I'm coming..." Sarah opened the front door and a girl with
long blonde hair, blue eyes and dressed in black stormed into the
house.
"Sarah, guys suck. No, they more than suck. Guys should be exterminated
from the face of the planet!! No..." Sarah rolled her eyes. When Raven
was on one of her guy hating rages, there was no dealing with her.
"So Raven, what did the guy do this time? Stand you up or want a homerun
on the first date." Raven shot her a dirty look.
"No, my ex showed up where I was relaxing and totally trashed the mood!!
I mean, dark energy galore. Why did he have to show up when I was relaxing?
Sarah raised her eyebrows, an amused look on her face. "I know what you
mean by annoying men. I mean I have one who doesn't have anything better to
do than mess with my attempts to get his attention."
