When dinner time rolled around, Zelana felt herself looking forward to it. She actually tried to make herself look presentible. Usually she just dressed to blend in. Tonight, she wanted to stand out. She had her shoulder length hair up in a bun, whith two stray pieces hanging over her eyes. She wore a dress of deep sea blue, with a low hanging front. Her ruby lips glistened as she applied her dark crimson lipstick.
"perfect." She mutterd.
She walked quickly down to the massive dining hall. When she arrived, a shocked gasp could be heard from the crowd. Zelena chucled silently.
"see? I can be pretty."She thought.
She took her usually place at the very end of the large table. Jareth always sat them acording to rank. Form his favourites, to his, least. She of course ,was his least favourite. Zelena could see Sarah on one side of Jareth, and a lovely brunette on the other.
"I have an Announcement ladies!" Jareth shouted over there chatter,"I want Sarah, too move one seat over, to make room for Zelena!"
The room fell deathly silent, as Sarah moved over.Zelena couldn't believe her eyes. She got up quickly and went to sit beside Jareth.
He smiled seductivly, and clapped his hands. The table instantly filled with a grand feast.
"Dine!" Jareth sighed.
The crowd galdly obliged. Zelena felt strange eating so close to Jareth, for she had always eaten at the opposite end of the table. Her stomach was doing flip-flops. She felt his eyes on her the whole night. Everytime she did something clumsy, she feared he would send her back to the other end of the table.
* * * * *
Sarah smiled with a strange amuesment as she watched Zelena trying to eat.And with even greater amuesment, as Jareth watched her do so.
"He is infatuated with her."She thought,"why the sudden change of heart? I thought that bimbo on his other side was his favourite. I guessed wrong."
Sarah chuckled as she watched the brunette to Jareths left fume with jealousy. Jareth payed absolutly no attention to her.
"So you've been dancing for a long time?" Jareth asked, giving her his oh- so seductive smile.
"er, yeah..."she trailed off, avoiding eye contact with him.
He laughed arrogantly, knowing full well he was making her uncomfortable.Sarah watched with a small smile, as Jareth's hand "found" it's way up Zelena's shoulder. Zelena shiverd and gave him a frightend look.
"oh come come Zelena! As if you don't know what I do to those women." He moved his hand off, and left the table in a burst of glitter.
Sarah let out a great laugh. "Theres the Jareth I know. Has to make an extreme exit."
The other women stared at her with blank expressions.
"you guy's really need a sense of humour..."
* * * * *
As the night passed on, Zelena felt even more and more nervous.She waited until everyone had left the dinner table, then made her way silently to Jareth's chambers. She knocked meekly on the door.
She heard a throaty laugh from behind the door. "Enter!"
She opened the door slowly and peered in. She gasped with shock. It wasn't at all what she had thought it to be. In fact, it was lovely. She stepped in further, and shut the door. She gazed around the room in amazement. It was all a dark burgendy colour, with hints of gold. Giant tapestrys hung from the high celing from gold bars. A giant grand piano sat in the center of the room, with a dragon-claw candle obra on the top. The room seemd dark and and mysterious, like Jareth himself. Millions of small candles lined up against the walls all around the contours of the grand room. Suddenly, a slow dark melody could be heard from the center of the room. Jareth sat at the gold piano bench, and was letting his fingers drift up and down the keyboard. Without looking up, he said "come sit."
She walked quickly over, and sat beside him on the bench.He suddenly stopped playing, and sta down in the chair beside it. "play" he commanded.
She looked confused, "How did you know I played?"
He just laughed. She raised an eyebrow in curiousity, but pulled the bech closer, and raised her hands to the keyboard, "I warn you,"she said," I haven't played in a VERY long time."
All of a sudden, she burst into song. Her fingers moving with ease, swiftly and precisly down the keyboard. Her head sawyed back and forth, her body erupting with music. She felt a part of the music. At the very last note, she turned, and opened her eyes. "well?" She asked.
Jareth sat gaping at her."well, I.." Now it was Jareths turn, to be speechless.
Authors note: well, I think I may be leaning towards a J/Z story. Sorry to all the J/S fans!!!! Usually I'm one of them but, I need somefin different.But, I am known to have great twist! :) *HINT HINT* XD
