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. Oh...I
also own nothing from "The 10th Kingdom" which was the movie that Sarah and
Alexandria were watching.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alex had just bitten into her third slice when the movie was coming to a
close. Glancing at the clock she smiled lightly. It was already two am and
neither of them were tired. Well at least she wasn't tired. "So, do the
goblins really look like those nitwits?"
Sarah shook her head and yawned lightly, "No...but sometimes they are
smarter."
Alex gave a light chuckle to that, within the hours of the movie and the
pizza the two had talked some. Alex had surprised herself by opening up so
much to Sarah, someone who she really didn't even know. Maybe they did
share something in common, both losing someone, but...
"It's getting late and we really don't want to sleep through your big
moment." Sarah had cut straight in Alex's thoughts, causing her to loose
her train of thought, "I'm sorry, were you going to say something?"
Alex blinked, "That's the fourth time you've apologized within the half
hour."
Sarah just turned, the task of closing the pizza boxed, stopped midway.
"What did you say?"
"I said, that's the fourth time you've apologized within the half hour."
"You just sounded like Jareth." Sarah continued closing the box, shaking
her head a bit. Alex did say something about having characteristics that
came neither from her Mother or Father, but sometimes a trait would show up
that a family had....but one she barely saw.
Alex inwardly cringed when she heard that, it wasn't that the idea was
bad, it was she just wasn't ready yet. "If you want to use my room I can
easily take my Mom's room."
Sarah nodded lightly, easily picking up on the hint. "Yeah that sounds
good." Sarah looked over at Alex and noticed the look in her eyes. They
were the same from early, lifeless and almost dead to the world.
Nodding Alex got up and helped Sarah get settled in. As soon as they
entered the room a nightdress appeard on the bed. Sarah said something
about Jareth watching them but Alex hadn't been paying attention. She had
just gotten her nightclothes said a simple goodnight and then left the
room. Sarah watched her go and then began to get changed, when she sat down
on the bed familear hands came up to her shoulders, massaging them lightly.
"Your not supposed to watch."
"You shouldn't be up so late. And that movie was pointless."
"I liked it. Reminded me of when I was younger."
"Yes but those goblins were absolutely horrible. Where do they get ideas
for that stuff?"
Sarah turned and smiled back at her husband, "It was just a movie Jareth."
Softly leaning back she nuzzles his neck while his arms came around to
holding her.
Neither of them noticed Alex who had leaned against the wall for a minuet.
Moving away from the wall she went into the livingroom and started
rewinding the movie they had watched.. Softly humming the tune to Wishing
on a Star, "I can't believe we watched all three tapes." Musing lightly she
looked back at the box that her Grandfather had left for her.
"I thought that would have been the first thing that you would have
discussed."
Looking back she gave a half smile, "I thought we agreed on 10am." Alex
looked back down on the box and began to open it, taking out a few items.
"Yes well after watching you two just watch a movie and barely discuss
anything about the Underground, I thought maybe it would be beneficial to
see if you wanted any other knowledge."
Alex didn't look back, she just stared down at a small notebook. Opening
it she ran her fingers over the picture in the front, a drawing of her
sitting in a green hedged garden. "I remembered a lot of what Grandpa had
told me when we were talking."
Jareth nodded, stepping over to squeeze her shoulder lightly, "Have you
made your decision yet."
"Yeah but I just want to look at a few things first." Closing the book she
looked up at Jareth, noting how his eyes glowed in the moon light. "Come
pick us both up at 10."
"Then you are coming?"
"Yeah. Would be nice to feel like I used to." Alex smiled for the first
time that night in along time.
Jareth nodded and hugged her lightly, catching both of them off guard.
"Then you should get some rest. Until Ten." With a light poof and sprinkles
Jareth disappeared.
Alex smiled again, feeling at peace with herself.
