AN: Please bare in mind that this was written an age ago. It probably needs rewriting, but considering everything, it didn't come out to bad. I am aware that there are certain double meanings in various things that happen in this fic (I didn't then) but we had fun writing this. :-D Hope you enjoy.
Jareths Bad Thirteen Hours.
1.All Together Now...
StarlitAngel64: wb!
Redaura25686: again! This comp is worrying…
StarlitAngel64: 8)
Redaura25686: as I was saying…
Jareth kneels at your feet, head quirked in that sexy way of his, that half smile anointing his lips. "Won't update?"
StarlitAngel64::-P
Redaura25686: Jareth stands, towering above you. "Don't defy me Star...," he warns. His eyes, his eyebrows swamp your senses...
StarlitAngel64: Redaura stop! I need to concentrate!
Redaura25686:?!working?!
StarlitAngel64: Yes! *drool*
Redaura25686: *Drowns in drool* ewe! How disgusting!
StarlitAngel64: lol
Redaura25686: *nods* yup! Me lol!
StarlitAngel64: 8-)
StarlitAngel64: agh! My little brother is driving me up the wall!
Redaura25686: poor star! All together now….
If you DON'T behave we'll tip you STRAIGHT into the Bog of Eternal Stench! Mahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!
StarlitAngel64: *giggles hysterically*
Redaura clicked send on a smiley face. 'StarlitAngel64 is not signed on' she rolled her eyes and pushed her glasses up her nose. *Is this AO-helL or little brother?" she wondered idly. While waiting for AOL or her little brother to no doubt die she clicked the word window up and started typing...
""Sarah" he whispered brokenly. She struggled for breath. The rest had seemed so easy, but this, this wasn't right.
"Jareth" she choked out, barley able to hear herself. "You..."
"Shh." He said, madly calm. "You'll be alright."
"It's such...such...a nice...dream...this."
"It's not a dream!" he was panicked now. To late he summoned his magic to replenish the blood that was so crimson on his pale skin. To late he tried to heal her wounds. /He never should have left her!/ He rocked her body and crooned. "
The speakers made a 'cling' noise.
StarlitAngel64: AGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! The little bastard pulled the plug!
Redaura25686: *horror* no!
StarlitAngel64: I'm gonna kill him...
Redaura25686: Me better idea!
StarlitAngel64: All together...
At the same time they typed-
I wish...I wish...that the Goblin King would come and take Gareth away...right now!
Together they clicked send.
Star growled as her computer froze. *I must be getting Redauras' problem.* with a sigh she tried Ctrl+Alt+Del. Nothing.
"Come on Comp! I'll chuck you into the Bog!" she threatened hollowly. She noticed the absence of Gareth due to the unnatural silence.
"GARETH!" she screamed, "what have you done!?" Silence. The heavy ticking of the clock. Her breathing, her heart beat.
"Come out! It's not funny!" she growled, fuming.
"Your right, it's not." Stars heart dropped to her toes to then speed back up to her head, making her blush furiously and nearly swoon. She slowly turned to look at his spiked hair and sexy half smile. Just like the movie.
"Hmmm, how about we go and pick up the other girl? And only go through this once."
With an elegant yet commanding wave Star found herself in a strange room. The computer was up one corner, wedged between an electric piano and a fireplace. A girl was swearing at the computer, her shoulder-length brown hair a mess.
"I'll chuck you in the Bog!" she ended on, heaving a breath in.
*Red...* excitement swirled in her stomach, dominating the panic she felt over Gareth. She'd never seen a picture of Redaura, but who else could it be?
"Redaura?"
She whipped startled around on the blue swivel chair banging her knee off an open draw. She winced, "I always do that." She gasped, Jareth holding her complete attention for a full minute.
"Star?" they jumped and hugged, talking at the same time.
"It's good to meet you!"
"Hey! You don't have a Pinocchio nose!"
There was a pointed clearing of the throat behind them. The teenagers turned and admired.
"I have a present for you both." His rich melodious voice flowed and spun form his thin lips. Two mesmerising, perfect crystals appeared in his back leather gloved hands. His black leather outfit was similar to the one in the movie, only more archaic, with a silk lined cloak with the traditional 'Dracular-eat-your-heart-out' collar.
The enormity of what they'd done hit both girls like a tidal wave.
"Err, can I have my brother back?" Star tentatively ventured.
"Yea," Redaura confirmed.
He gave them that look he'd given Sarah in the film, only with a here-we-go-again quality. It ruined the effect of the need to worship at his feet. With a long-suffering sigh he said "no."
"Huh?"
"What?!"
"Ain't you supposed to say 'what's said is said?'" Redaura supplied helpfully, getting a bit carried away. The post arctic look that Jareth gave her snapped her rudely out of it.
"I /never/ repeat myself." A great big cuddly, /carnivorous/ tiger Redaura thought unsteadily. Graceful, gorgeous and deadly. Definitely gorgeous.
"I think he means he's not going to let us win!" Star stage whispered to Red worriedly.
"We've got to try!" Redaura hissed back. They looked at each other. They both felt the guilt. Ain't nothin' better than a double guilt trip to get butts moving.
Jareth inclined his head slowly and languidly. "There," he stated simply. A watercolour of a cloudy blue sky on the wall floated until it consumed them.
