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 stopped outside of entering the room. That voice...she knew that
voice. Moving closer to the wall she carefully stayed still as she listened
to the conversation. Her jaw slowly dropped when she placed the voice and
conversation with a face...she had been conversing with a Prince like he
was in the same position as herself...a commoner. That slowly brought up
her old question...did she have a position of any standing?
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The two kings greeted each other with a warm handshake, the two queens
with warm hugs. Soron stood quietly waiting for the formalities of greeting
to end before he spoke up. "Majesty, I do have a question to ask of you."

"Yes Soron?" Jareth led them into one of the sitting rooms when he had
told Alexandria to meet them at.

"Do you have any young ladies on a quest of some sort?"

"Quests?" Jareth shook his head, "I'm afraid I have no idea of what your
talking about Soron."

"A young lady was riding a white mare earlier, bareback too I might say.
Quiet a lovely little thing as humans go. Pardon Lady Sarah." As Sarah
nodded Braven continued, "When Soron asked if we could escort her home she
said that she had to hurry back here. Before any of us could ask anything
else she had already started off, but did manage a polite goodbye before
doing so."

Sarah covered her mouth to try not to laugh. Only too easily she could
figure out who that was. A look from Jareth quickly sobered her up, but her
eyes still shone with the laughter she was trying to keep inside. "Do you
know who this character was my dear." Sarah just nodded, her lips getting
thinner as she was fighting back from bursting out to laughing. "Please
fill us all in...who was this mysterious young lady?" Sarah started to say
something but looked toward the doorway and started to smile lightly, as
the question was answered with out her saying anything.

"I apologies for my rudeness Aunt, Uncle, Majesties. But the one you speak
of, is and was me."

Soron turned quickly to look back at this lady and his eyes opened wide.
This vision of an angel couldn't have been that rash, horse riding, wild
woman. Alex smiled lightly at him and moved towards the group to stand
beside Sarah, "I hope I didn't come off as too rude."

Braven nodded lightly, "It is always a pleasure to know that their are
ladies of the blood who can do more then look in a mirror."

Alex glanced at Sarah and both of them shared a secret smile. "I thank you
for that sir."

Soron just kept staring at Alex, 'How could she be Jareth's niece?' How
could those guys have thought to try and hurt such a lovely lady?' Shaking
his head he nervously ran his fingers through his hair, only halfway
realizing all the attention that was being brought upon him. "I'm sorry, it
has just been a very long ride."

Jareth nodded lightly, "I have rooms prepared for all of you, if you wish
to freshen up first we could then all head to dinner."

Braven nodded, "Yes that will be good. Then perhaps we shall speak more
over what will be happening at the Festivities coming up."
