Disclaimer...I own nothing except for the characters that had never been
seen before. Okay basically the only ones who are in here that I don't own
are Jareth, Sarah, and Hoggle...I might add some of the others soon.

Alexandria looked around the small group that came to wish her a happy
birthday and wish her on her way to college. "It's been very nice having
you all here. I thank you all for coming." Alex tried her best to give a
real smile, but for some reason she just couldn't and hadn't for awhile.
A few hours later Alex flopped back onto her bed. Looking up at the
ceiling she slowly sat back up and looked into her dresser mirror. Brown
eyes stared back at her, "Well this was fun." Reaching up she took out her
contacts. Closing her eyes she turned her head down before looking back
into the mirror, carefully considering her odd eyes.
"Alexandria?"
"Yeah?" Alex tore her eyes away from the mirror and over towards the
partially opened door.
"I'm going to go to work now. Remember to get everything cleaned up before
it gets too late."
"Okay Mom." Standing Alex grabbed her coat and slipped it on before
heading out into the hallway and out to the living room. "Your leaving for
the plane right after work right?" Alex looked over her Mom and helped her
bring a suitcase out to the taxi cab waiting in the driveway.
Anele nodded and hugged Alex tightly. "Yes. I'll be home in two weeks. Are
you sure your going to be alright?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine. Probably just relax and hang with some friends."
"Alright. Just remember the emergency number is on the fridge...and
remember it must be an emergency, we're not really allowed calls." Anele
opened the door and started to get in.
"I'll be fine Mom, promise the house will still be standing when you get
home." Alex smiled lightly, looking strangely cold and stand offish, but
Anele understood. She always had.
Alex watched the taxi drive down the long driveway and waved until she
couldn't see it anymore. Turning she looked at the tables that were set up
outside, "Well better get started."

Jareth sat back in his throne, watching the crystal and the scene it held.
Both Corsair and Elia also watched in their own ways. Sarah just curled up
more on Jareth's lap, half asleep. The day's activities had worn her out.
"She's grown up." Elia's soft voice seemed to float on the very air.
Corsair nodded and let the crystal he was using disappear. "Are you sure
that she did use some magic?"
Jareth nodded. "Just watch."
Corsair refreshed his drink and called up another crystal, sure enough all
of them saw it. As Alex was cleaning she threw some items to the trash and
they fell caresly to the side. Without even looking the items flew up from
the ground and into the bag. A few bit of sparkles falling from the items,
Alex didn't even notice it.
Jareth smiled, "I told you." Sitting up a bit more he let the crystal fade
away a smug smile on his face. "She needs to get some training before the
magic goes wild."
"And how do you expect to get the child here? Or for her to believe us?"
Elia looked between the two. "Alden may have told her some things but she
has grown up since he died, and who knows if she even believes any more."
"That is something we'll have to find out when we approach her." Jareth
looked down at his now sleeping queen. "In the morning we shall see her and
bring her back here."
The three adjourned and headed to their bed chambers for the night. The
focus of their attention soon also headed to her own bed. Unaware that she
had been the focus of attention at all.
