Apologies and Surprises

Disclaimer: um yeah, I own everyone one! Even Jareth.ok ok I admit it I don't own Jareth. Note: to all my adoring fans: Mal: Thanks button nosed cutie! Addie: poor lonely you well, Athan'll fix that and no one knows what I'm talking about except you! (Unsighned): no no no yourself! There are to many stories with Sarah in it plus she's nuthin but a bunch of bones now anyways.



Later that day Jareth took a trip to the dungeons to make sure the goblins had not thrown anyone of importance or undeserving into the cages and cells. He was just walking along peering through the bars when he had to do a double take into one of the cages. "So there you are! Please do not think I do not trust you but I thought you had run off, it would have been understandable. But here you are locked in a cage, fighting for me and my kingdom I suppose? You always were a foolish one. I don't know why I made you my Advisor, Adol."

The on in the cell looked up upon hearing the voice his face lit up upon seeing his king well and in human form but then returned to it's normal causality as though nothing surprised him "Because I'm your best friend Your Highness" he said as though it were obvious.

Jareth looked at him as he got his keys out "Ah yes, of course. What was I thinking?"

Adol replied casually "I honestly don't know. Sir, if I may be so bold as to inquire,." he paused as the gate was opened and he stepped out "how did you get back?" He was over doing his proper act on purpose. He usually acted pretty relaxed around his best childhood friend even though he always knew he would be king

Jareth looked at him "Drop the act" he said carelessly then answered his question "Old King Amarl's daughter set me free, she's become quite powerful really.

Adol looked at Jareth a moment in silence before speak "ah yes, Shirrel, The crystal princess..is she still a fox?"

"Adol!"

"What?"

"You shouldn't speak of a princess in such a way, especially one you rescued me.and.yes she is a fox!"

Adol laughed a bit "Well she didn't rescue all of you, you seem much less arrogent then before"

"I'm going to pretentd you didn't say this, oh by the way she's here" Jareth responded nonchalantly

Adol blinked confused "What? Who?"

Jareth looked at him like he were a simpleton "Shirrel, of course! Who else?"

"..SHE'S HERE?"

"Calm down..yes she is"

--------------------------

Shirrel was in her room awake now getting ready for bed though. She wore a large shirt that met her lower thigh and nothing else escept underwear. It was a habit she had picked up from the mortals in the Aboveworld. She had told her gossipy little maid not to disturb her and so far she hadn't been disturbed.until there was a knock on the door. She looked up and hesitantly asked "Who is it?" Raising her voice so it would be heard through the wood.

"It's Jareth" Came the answer more hesitantly then the question

"O.oh" she looked at the door a moemnt and without really thinking about what she was wearing opened the door.

Jareth saw the door open and began to speak but then stopped and his eyes moved down to what she was wearing. Her gaze followed hers to her cloths "What? What the matter"

He stammered for a moment then regained composer "Ah nothing, I would lke to appologieze to you for my behavior, it was inexcusable, I hope you can forgive me" he had to tear his eyes from the low cute of the shirt because staring at her body while appologizing for sinakar actions seemed wrong.

She smiled slightly "of course I can Jareth, I know you were just hurt and sad, I;m not really anger with you much, your forgivin"

Ok, nows you chance to tell me how bad that was! Well, I hoped you liked it and thsnks to you all who reviewed.
