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.

Alex dropped Quig off at Hoggle's house in the early afternoon. Sarah had
only given them until mid-afternoon to ride. She was then to be back at the
castle and getting dressed up in one of the dresses Jareth had gotten made
for her. Waving goodbye Alex turned the bright white mare and starts to
gallop towards one of the roads that led back up to the castle. As she
neared it she slowed, a small carriage had gotten a wheel stuck in a hole
and two brightly dressed individuals were having little luck at try to get
it out. Stopping near them she slipped off of the horses back, having not
bother to use saddles or reins. "Would you care for some help?"
Soron turned back and nodded lightly, "It would be appreciated." Taking a
step from the carriage he waved to the wheel. "We just don't have enough
strength to push it forward to get it out."
Stepping forward Alex looked at the rut and knelt down. "If you pile some
dirt up behind it and push the other way you should be able to back it
out."
Soron knelt down beside her and nodded. "You do the dirt and I'll do the
pushing."
Alex nodded and built up some dirt behind the wheel. As Soron started
pushing she moved to the side and then started helping to push. After a few
minuets of struggle the carriage was once more on the path. Alex shook her
head and slipping up her hat to wipe at her forehead. "Wow...that was
easy."
Soron chuckled lightly and walked his horse over to the other side, Alex
just raised an eyebrow at the royal look on both saddle and rains. "I thank
you for help miss. May we escort you home?"
Alex shook her head, "I'm heading to the castle in the center of the
Labyrinth." Heading back over to the mare she jumped up, the horse only
twitching a bit as she did so. "Where might you and your own be headed."
"To the same place, shall we ride together?" Soron smiled at her, a quick
thought running through his mind on how nice it would be if this girl was
Jareth's niece.
"Actually I have to ride kind of fast. I'm running out of time and have to
get their quickly." Alex smiled lightly. "Maybe we will meet again." With a
wave she heeled her horse's side and took on down the main road that guests
use to bypass the labyrinth when heading to the castle.
Soron raised a hand and started to say goodbye but by the time the words
came, she was gone. Pulling his horse to the side he looked inside to his
parents. "Different kind of girl. Think she was on one of King Jareth's
quests?"
King Braven shook his head, "I do not believe so but we will ask Jareth
when we get their."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alex raced up the stairs to her room forgetting that she could just appear
in their with just a simple spell. As she got into her room she began
peeling off her clothes and trying to get ready. Quickly she went through
rinsing out her hair and using light magic to move faster but everything
came to a crashing halt when she looked at the dresses. 'Oh great...Another
reason why I dislike dresses so much.' Quickly she just closed her eyes and
pulled out a dress. Cracking an eye open she felt like fainting...pink. She
hated pink.
A soft knock drew her away from trying to slip the dress on. "Who is it?"
Grunting lightly she fell back upon the bed, the think folds of the dress
flying up. 'At least I've got a slim form...comes from so much sports tho.'
"It's Hedgra Madam. I've come to see if you required any assistance."
Alex smiled lightly, "Your just the goblin I was hoping who was going to
come in. Please please do so." Alex tried to regain her balance again
managing to finish slipping up the rest of the dress.
Hedgra opened and closed the door quickly, rushing to Alex's side her
hands went quickly to the task of tying up the laces of the dress. "You
don't wear dresses like these more often do you?"
Alex chuckled softly and began to brush out her hair, "Oh heck with it."
Waving her hand her hair poofed out and then settled into a hairstyle that
went with the dress. "Thank you Aunt Elia for showing me that." She smiled
when Hedgra lightly patted her back. "Shoes...shoes...I know they are
around her somewhere." With a bare foot she began to move articles of
clothing out of the way looking for the shoes that she knew went with the
dress.
Hedgra shook her head but was glad for the change of style. Reaching down
she moved Alex's vest off of the bed and held up the shoes. "Come now
child, slip them on and get downstairs. The guests are going to be here in
a few moments." Ushering Alex into a chair she slipped the shoes onto
Alex's feet, pinching one of her toes as she did so. "There now your ready,
go make your Uncle proud."
Alex smiled and quickly hugged Hedgra before rushing out of the room t
join her Aunt and Uncle in the room. Hedgra looked around the room where
clothes lay thrown around. "At least I don't have to be down in the
kitchens again."
