Chapter 4

(A/N-Right. ~a;djfa;sd~=LeAnn's Force talking. *a;kladj*=Obi's Force talking.

Back in their dungeon cells, Koni and Emmy watched their sister warily. LeAnn was on the verge of going truly insane without either her magic or the Force. As it was, she was facing the Ysalimari, bouncing side to side, blood-lust in her eyes. Emmy and Koni wondered-would LeAnn REALLY kill the poor creature if help didn't arrive soon?

Damn straight she would.

With a primal battle yell that made her sisters think she'd been watching too much Xena, LeAnn leaped forward, tackling the Ysalimari in an attempt to destroy it.

Meanwhile, in the labyrinth, the Terrorsome Triad was still standing confused. What were they doing wrong? "Maybe the labyrinth doesn't like Billy Joel?" Ade asked. "Or maybe Socks is serious about keeping us from rescuing the girls," Puck added. Obi-Wan, ever the Jedi, just sat, meditating.

He frowned a moment, then looked up. "The Force seems to be missing here. I can't sense a damn thing though it. Millions of voices, very musical, but it's just jibberish to me." "That's the labyrinth itself," Ade said. "Only it's King can communicate with it and truly understand it, and that's Jareth." "Besides," Puck added, "You should know the Force won't work in this place. The Force runs mostly on logic, right? Well logic doesn't exist in this place, really."

"No logic...that's it!" Obi said, excited, jumping up from where he was sitting. "If there's no logic, then we should walk AWAY from the castle. I mean, logic tells us to walk towards the castle to get to it. What would be illogical would be to walk away from it to get to it." "It's worth a shot," Ade said, nodding. So, in agreement, the Triad started walking backwards, testing their theory.

In the dungeon, LeAnn was still wrestling with the Ysalimari. It looked more like Austin Powers wrestling with Britney Spears, and Emmy and Koni were holding their heads in shame. Their sister had truly crossed the line into insanity. "Why won't you DIE?!?" LeAnn screamed, one arm wrapping around it's neck and pulling back in an effort to break it. The damn thing just wouldn't go down. Finally remembering the pocket knife she'd carried around since she was twelve and in Girl Scouts, LeAnn finally stabbed it to death.

She then began dancing around and whooping in her own improvised dance. "Yeah! The Forth ith with me even with it'th not! I am Queen of the Univerth and all that ith in it! I rule the All!" she cried. Emmy just shook her head. "Um, sister, dear, be quiet. You may attract Jareth's attention, and that's NOT good. Just...try and contact one of your little Jedi friends, ok?" "K," LeAnn said, nodding, then sat. "Reathing out and touthing thomeone, Thedi thyle."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LeAnn reached out and touched someone, alright. She managed to get hold of Obi. ~Hello? Anyone out there? It's LeAnn. Anyone at all? Hello?~ *LeAnn? It's about time! What took you so long to contact me? Ade, Puck, and I have been trying to get to you for two hours already!* ~Tights removed our armbands AND stuck me in a cell with a Ysalimari! I just not was able to kill the damn beast.~

*Ysalimari? Eww....* Obi shuddered just thinking about the creatures. Qui-Gonn had taken him to Mykyr, once, to learn to survive without relying too heavily on the Force. He'd thought he'd never feel the Force again. ~Listen carefully, Obi. J's coming. I don't have much time. Find the unicorns! Tell them you're out to rescue me. The unicorn is my heart-beast, and they've accepted me as one of their own. Just tell them you want to rescue Cloud Dreamer. Hur-~

With that, the conversation was cut off. Apparently, Jareth had caught her. "Come on. LeAnn said we need to find the unicorns, that they'll help us," Obi told his friends. Ade and Puck just nodded and Ade, who knew the Underground quite well, led the way.

Author:So, what happens now? What will Jareth do to LeAnn? Will the boys find the unicorns on time? Find out next time on 'As the Peach Turns.'
Obi:That was lame...
Puck:Are you STILL using the soap opera joke?
Ade:I agree. It's so old.
Author:As old as you, Wolf-boy?
Ade:I'm not THAT old...
Puck:Yeah! Stop making fun of us guys!
Obi:This story is getting wierder and wierder.
Author:Yeah yeah. And I'm writing more as we speak.
Obi:That was a bad joke, too.
Author:Shut up and stop your whining. You have no cheese.
Puck:And stop the punishment!
Ade:Oh no...she's rubbing off on you, Puck!
Author:Hehehe...
