Woooops. . .

By: Anne Parkington

Recap- The Ouija tells them to go to Egypt to get the book of the dead and revive the green fairy or else the movie will bomb, the drunkards aren't so drunk any more, and in a moment of morningy rage, Jareth chuck's Ewan's shoe out the window. Now he's run off to let him borrow a pair of boots before they head off to Egypt. Does that Sound, sound to you? Good! ^^



Chapter 10 ((wow, we're in the double digits now! Bwee!!))

Ewan grumbled at the loss of his shoe, and stared in complete disappointment at the boots Jareth had dropped in front of him. Although they were very nice boots, with shiny buckles and zippers, they just didn't fill the spot in his heart as the others had. He jammed them onto his feet anyway and joined the group as they waited for Jareth to open a portal.

"Wait, question." Ewan said.

"Yes?" Sarah asked, looking over her shoulder.

"Isn't this book of the dead written in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics?"

"Yes, so?" Sarah asked, missing the problem completely.

"Do we KNOW how to READ ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics?"

"Sure. Why not?" Sarah smiled at him. Ewan beamed back. Nicole fumed, digging her nails into Jareth's arm.

"Ach!" He cried, pulling away from her, but Nicole's grasp was so tight, she just came with him.

"What the hell are you DOING, Nicole?!" Jareth asked angrily. Nicole just stared at Sarah and Ewan. Jareth rolled his eyes and opened the portal.

They walked through and were immediately greeted by the sweltering heat of Egypt's desert sun. They all panted heavily, and ran over to the nearest oasis. A squat little man with bright pink eyebrows greeted them and introduced himself as Richmad, the camel salesman.

"Hello! I am Richmad, the camel salesman. You look like you guys could use some camels."

"Yes, please." Sarah started, but Ewan interjected.

"WAIT! We don't know how much these camels are! Besides, it wouldn't matter unless any of us have any money. . . "

The group shrugged and shook their heads.

"I rest my case." Ewan said.

"Well, if you don't have any money, I'll gladly take the red head over there." Richmad said, his eyes gleaming in Nicole's direction.

"Mehhhh. . . " Nicole whined, and hid behind Jareth.

"Ehh, tempting . . . but no." Jareth said, glaring at Nicole.

"I'll give you my ring!" Sarah said, taking off a blue-gemmed ring from her finger.

"Oohh! Pretty!" Richmad cried, his eyes sparkling.

"WAIT! Don't give him THAT, it's too nice!" Hoggle cried, trying to grab it from her.

"Sorry, Hoggle, but we really need camels and supplied to keep us from dying out there.

"Right, of course! Anything you want!" Richmad said, and snatched the ring from her. For the ring, they got 6 camels, 6 head dresses and enough supplies to get them across the desert and back 10 times. But considering the amount of food Jareth intakes, it was just enough.

They traveled for 4 hours when the heat was really starting to get to poor Ewan.

"Ohhh, it's sooo hot!" He complained. He looked at Sarah who laughed. He winked at her, flashed her a dazzling smile and ripped off his shirt.

"Ahh, that's better. . . " He sai-

Anne:Gasp! WAIT! Rewind that!!

He winked at her, flashed her a dazzling smile and ripped off his shirt.

Anne: Wow! Do it again!

He winked at her, flashed her a dazzling smile and ripped off his shirt.

Anne: Heehee -stares in silence for 2 hours- Okay onward.

"Ahh, that's better. . . " He said, fanning himself.

"You better hold onto your shirt, you'll get a bad sun burn if you don't keep it covered up." Nicole said.

"Ahh, I can handle a little sun burn." Ewan said bravely.

Anne: I'm sorry, I just can't help it!

He winked at her, flashed her a dazzling smile and ripped off his shirt.

Anne: I'm not sure you're all getting the picture!!

and ripped off his shirt.

Anne:

and ripped off his shirt.

Anne: All together now:

and ripped off his shirt.

Anne: Okay, that's all. :-)

That night, Ewan winced as Sarah put some aloe onto his scorched back.

"I told you!" Nicole said, laughing at Ewan's pain.

"Shut up Nicole, no one likes you." Ewan snapped.

"Hold still, Mr!" Sarah snapped.

"Ohh I have a question. . . " Baz asked, through a mouthful of beans.

"Yes?" Sarah asked.

"Well, do you know where we're going? To find this book of the dead?"

"Yes. To the ancient Egypt museum in Cairo." Sarah rubbed more onto his back.

"Then why didn't we get out there?" Baz shot a glare at Jareth.

"YEAH! Then I wouldn't have sun poisoning on my back!!" Ewan snarled.

"I'm sorry. I'm dumb." Jareth smirked and closed his eyes ready to sleep.

"Lift up your arms." Sarah ordered, and wrapped him with bandages, "Jeez, man! Use some deodorant!" She managed to say, before passing out. Ewan's eyes widened to the size of diner plates.

"Sarah?" He asked.

Anne-Heeehee

He winked at her, flashed her a dazzling smile and ripped off his shirt.
