(Scene: Jareth's room, the next morning. Jareth and Gabriel wake up, groggily disentangle themselves, and get dressed on opposite sides of the bed, facing away from each other. They stumble out of the room. Jareth plunks down onto his throne, and Gabriel hops into his lap. A goblin comes up with a coffee for Jareth and Dr. Pepper for Gabriel. The courtroom fills up quickly and eventually Jo walks in, wearing a tank top and jeans.)
Gabriel: Gad...right now, I could just kill for a chocolate croissant.
Jo: I can make those!
Gabriel: You can? Really?
Jo: (cheerful) Sure, dude! I'll go make a batch.
(She hurries off.)
(Four hours pass. Eventually Jo comes back in, covered from head to toe in chocolate and carrying a tray with croissants on it.)
Gabriel: (delighted) Choco!
(She leaps on Jo, hugging her. Jareth twitches uncomfortably, then peers at Jo.)
Jareth: (blinkblink) Where'd you go, Jo?
Jo: The first batch exploded. Have a croissant!
(Gabriel has already eaten one. Jareth takes one of the pastries, takes an experimental bite, and then wolfs the rest down.)
Gabriel: (out of the blue) Some people say chocolate is one of nature's aphrodisiacs!
Jo: You mean like green M&Ms?
(Jareth, who was reaching for a croissant, stops. Gabriel grabs another croissant and eats it, getting chocolate all over her hands in the process. She smiles cheerfully and starts sucking the chocolate off her fingers.)
Gabriel: (oblivious) Happy happy choco...
(Sounding strangled again, Jareth excuses himself and hurries off towards the showers. Gabriel blinks. Jo groans.)
Jo: You idiot.
Gabriel: (surprised) Was it something I did?
Jo: (slightly irritated) Yes.
Gabriel: (confused) What? All I was doing was licking chocolate off my fingers.
Jo: (teeth gritted) That's what he was thinking about.
Gabriel: (perplexed) What?
(She pauses and thinks about it, then blushes.)
Gabriel: Oh. (beat) Are you going to have a croissant?
Jo: (suddenly in better mood) Of course.
(She marks down another point for them. By now, there are about twenty.)
