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.

Jareth tapped his fingers on the table. "She's late."
"I'm sure there is a good excuse brother." Elia sat back in her chair and
nervously glanced over at her husband.
"Yes and she won't be joining us for breakfast." Corsair walked into the
room, her face slightly flushed and his shoulder drenched, clinging to his
skin.
"Why not? She looked fine when I saw her earlier." Sarah frowned, Alex
looked very strong to her. A change of scenery shouldn't have taken her
down.
Corsair shook his head, "I made the mistake of bringing something up that
she wasn't ready to hear."
"Like?"
"Good memories."
Jareth looked down at his empty plate. He had a feeling she would remember
some things while she was here, but he wasn't prepared for it this soon.
Waving over one of the goblins he started to give order for a breakfast
tray to be brought up to her room.
"I apologize for being so late." Alex stood at the doorway and felt even
more nervous when everyone turned to look at her. She looked quickly down
to herself, nope...nothing was out of place. At least she hoped not.
Walking more into the room she looked at the others and almost a bit
inquizidly at the man sitting by Elia's side. As a goblin pulled out a
chair for her she caught herself staring and blushed lightly, sitting at
the table.
"Thank you for finally joining us." Jareth's voice sounded hard but there
was a softness underneath that took out the sting of the words. He waved a
hand and more goblins started to make their way into the room. Alex just
kept turning trying to look at all of them, only slightly disappointed when
they all disappeared out of the room again.
"How did you sleep last night dear?" Elia looked over at Alex and noted
faintly that when dressed in the Underground style of pants she looked even
more like Jareth. Alex's hair flowed down her back, but by her face it
spiked lightly, a wisp also managed to stay over her forehead. With the
white dress shirt open on the top button perfectly showed off her long
neck, the deep brown vest just set off the deep brown skin pants that she
wore. The black boots almost also mirrored Jareth's but she didn't look
like she appreciated the heals that much.
Alex nodded lightly, "My sleep went well, thank you."
"Oh forgive me, this is my husband, Lord Strakey." The gentleman nodded
his head as Elia introduced him.
"Pleasure to meet you sir."
"As is a pleasure to see you again as well."
"Again sir?"
"When you were quite a bit younger we met."
Alex nodded lightly. Jareth broke the silence that started by suggesting
they start eating. Alex just looked down at her plate which was suddenly
filled with some pancake looking items. 'They look like pancakes, smell
like pancakes, but are they pancakes?' Picking up a fork and knife she
tried to remember how her Mother taught her to eat while in important
company. Taking a small bite her smile grew a bit more. That was all that
was needed when she suddenly blurted out "Pancakes!"
Corsair smiled softly, Sarah tried hiding her smile while Elia giggled
lightly. Lord Strakey looked almost appalled momentarily forgetting that
Alex hadn't had a lot of formal dining. Jareth hide his smile behind his
goblet, but as he set the cup down he raised a slender eyebrow at her, his
smile gone. "It is your favorite, is it not?"
Alex tried to hide her blush but was unsuccessful and almost started to
feel foolish with the tone that Jareth spoke in. "Yes sir." Her voice
faltered slightly but she managed to hold her ground, even if it was weak.
Everyone seemed to be looking back between Jareth and Alex. Sarah lightly
touched Jareth's hand, looking at him, wondering just what he was doing.
Jareth looked at Sarah and his expression softened slightly, looking back
at Alex he noticed that she was still staring at her plate. "You are our
niece and we are your Uncles, correct?"
Alex nodded lightly, "Yes sir."
"Then you shall refer to us as your aunts and uncles, do I make myself
clear?"
Alex looked up a bit and over to him, "Yes...Uncle."
"Now I suggest you finish your breakfast, your going to go through the
labyrinth today."
