The Theater and ClassBy Silver Space
"JARETH!!!!!"
Jareth sat on his throne and winced at Sarah's screaming and debated whether to go or to ignore her.
"Well I had better go or she will be really mad at me. I also want to save my ears." With that Jareth disappeared from his throne.
"You called my dear?" Jareth said with an extremely calm face
"What is the meaning of this necklace?!" Sarah fumed
"It is a necklace nothing more?"
"That is not what Hoggle tells me."
"Oh?"
"Yes and something about last night was rather special in the Underground."
"Well the necklace that Hoggle thinks you have, it isn't. Sarah I can't touch that necklace. The woman who is destined to be Queen receives the necklace from a family member. I created a duplicate to fool my nephew. He won't touch you if he thinks you are the destined one." Jareth explained calmly looking right at Sarah
"You could have at least told me that last night!" Sarah looked as mad as she felt and Jareth knew better than to cross her.
"As for last night I don't know what Hoggle was talking about and if it was safe to tell you last night I would have. My nephew is very dangerous when he wants something."
Sarah stared deep into his eyes and saw something that she was not sure of. Was it caring, compassion, or even love? She broke eye contact and glance at the clock.
"Oh no, I'm going to be late to my study group. Sorry Jareth but I need to keep ahead in my theater class. I will talk to you later all right?" She spoke in haste and distractedly
"All you need is to call me Sarah." With that Jareth stole a quick kiss and disappeared leaving a very shocked Sarah
Monday morning in Sarah's theater class they continued their discussion on the current play that they were studying, Phantom of the Opera.
"We have had a rather good discussion so far on this play and I would like to get your opinion of this next scene," the teacher said. "In this scene we have Raoul, Christine, and the Phantom. Tell me what do you see happening between these people."
Jared spoke up. "Raoul wants Christine to believe that she is being silly in believing in these tales and that Phantom doesn't exist and it's just some crazy person who is creating havoc in the theater"
"A very good point Mr. Fae," the teacher said with a nod
"I must disagree," Sarah said
"Go on Miss Williams."
"Christine is trying to explain that the Phantom is a real person and not a fable. She has seen his face, been to his home, and he awakened her sprit and made her listen with her heart not her ears. His eyes told her of what he wants in the world, acceptance and someone to love. She was the first to be opened who could possibly love him. Raoul does not believe her and wants her to believe it was all just a dream."
"Why do you say that and how did you get to that conclusion?" Jared said
"Easy, it's right there in the words they sing." Sarah simply replied
Jared nodded to this.
"Christine hears a whisper of her name. She looks into Raoul's eyes to see if he heard it too and it's like a spell overcame her. Phantom is there and he sees this. His heart breaks as he goes over all that he had done for her. Opening her heart and mind teaching her to look at everything differently and she rejects him. He knows that Raoul loves her voice and is in despair because he can see that Raoul doesn't love her soul, where the true beauty lies. He then vows that she will regret the day she turned her back on him."
"A very interesting point Miss Willams. Now let's listen to the part that we have been discussing and see if we can interpret what is happening."
The teacher set up the player and let the selection play as the students listened closely to the words.
For the rest of the class period they listened to parts of the play and analyzed what meaning of the words might have been intended.
After class Jared walked with Sarah trying to get her into a conversation as they headed to the student lounge.
"So Sarah, how did you come up with that wonderful conclusion about Eric and what he felt. Some personal experience perhaps?"
Sarah decided to be friendly only because she had always been that way towards him and she wasn't about to give away all of her knowledge about him at least in public.
"No not from my own life Jared, but rather that is one of the few plays that my birth mother really liked and so did I. She once sent me some notes that she got from the director on how the scene should be, though she was only an understudy for the part and one of the dancers."
"Oh, I didn't know you were adopted," he said playing stupid
"Actually no, my mom left pursuing her career but she kept in some communication with me for a few years," she replied curtly as they arrived at the lounge.
"Well pardon me Sarah but I must be off. I have some other class work to finish today so I can't join you for coffee."
"That is all right, have fun with that work." Sarah said with a smile then turned into the lounge not seeing Jared disappear in a burst of dark glitter.
