Disclaimer is in the first few chapters…and Yes I am back and hope to finish
this by my 21st birthday. I wanted to finish it last year but my muses just
weren't with me. So…welcome to sights and sounds of the start to a party.
Enjoy.

Alex paced about the room she was in. She didn't want to wear a stupid pink frilly dress. Instead she had chosen out a pant ensemble and had just gotten the evil eye from Jareth AND Sarah. It wasn't fair…she was supposed to be some all powerful Fae right? So what did it matter if she wanted to wear something that was comfortable? It wasn't proper had come the answer from several sources and now here she was stuck in an almost empty room to sulk. Glaring at the pink dress she stuck her tongue out at it and went right back to sulking.

Sarah watched as people began to enter into the ball room and smiled, nodded, and spoke only when it was time to. Actually she hated these balls as much as most ladies of the court did. But alas they would never get that into the minds of the ones who thought it was all too important to have them. She sighed inwardly and glanced about the steadily growing room. Where was that niece of hers? Another scanning of the room and her brow furrowed. It wasn't like Alex to go against orders of all of her Aunt and Uncles. Something Jareth was going to be answering too later on…she was more then sure of it.

Jareth made his way over to where a group of Kings and Princes stood and listened to the conversation a bit before jumping in. Oh joy another talk over the dragons in the Dream Realm. Currently Lacear had been making valid points for the dragons, which went against his Father's opinion. "If I could steal you gentlemen away we can let the children mingle among themselves." Jareth cut in before Lacear was about to get a tongue lashing that no one would let him live down. Now it just looked as if the Goblin King had a poor sense of timing. Leading the other Kings away, Jareth glanced back and caught sight of Lacear's face. Winking she gave a slight nod before turning his attentions back to the other men and almost forcefully leading them to wine goblets.

Ella stood with the other ladies of court who simply loved throwing balls. And currently she was going through a most boring discussion of sizes and types of gowns to wear. She nodded and smiled to the one who brought of the point of simplicity. But then had to agree with the 'we should have the best' routine. Why not have both one had put in and that stopped the conversation for just a moment before it was led back into color of all things. That stopped Ella for a second when she recalled Alex's face at the sight of the pink dress. Then when she had stormed out to go horse riding of all places. But what had hurt the most was when Ella found her and even the shear hate of getting dressed in the chosen dress had made the flowers wilt. Glancing toward the stairwell entrance she gave a slight frown, Alex was going to come wasn't she?
------
The only one who seemed to be having a ball of a time with the first lap of conversations just had to be Corsair, all the pretty ladies and alcohol were enough to make any single and eligible man dizzy. Currently talking a few of the younger woman he grinned when he was pulled to the side by a most breath taking of Elf. Long blue black hair and eyes that looked to be as endless as a forest. Thoughts of the party, responsibility, and any duty to the family were dashed upon rocks as he followed behind her like caught in a spell.
