INNOCENT INTENTIONS
CHAPTER TWO

Thor, Vince, Vale, Tomoe, Fantasy Girl (Saturn Angels)
Last time:
Once they reached the garden they sat at a small stone bench next to fountain directly in the middle of the garden three-quarters surrounded by bushes. Christina smiled, "Alright first of all you can call me Christi, Rule #1 when someone is facing the Labyrinth you must never ever allow yourself to be seen. Rule #2 Once you're a teenager Jarey or someone else assigned will teach you magic. Rule #3 Jarey threatens us all at one point or another, he won't do anything bad though unless you kill someone or something. Rule #4 Stay far far away from the Bog of Eternal Stench. Rule #5 Never wander outside the castle without permission. Rule #6 Never go into the Labyrinth without Jareth, I mean Jarey knowing and never go alone if you do get to go. Rule #7..." She was interrupted by snickering in the background but she continued, "Rule #7...Always beware boys hiding behind bushes eavesdropping!" She yelled angrily as both girls turned to see two boys hiding behind the bushes. Christi glared at them, "That one on the left is Darius who's 10, and on the right is Andrew who's 11. Now back to--"
They were interrupted by a small goblin approaching, "Excuse me Masters and Mistresses, King Jareth requires all the children's presence. Someone has challenged the Labyrinth"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
All the children gathered in the throne room. Jareth entered shortly after.
"Now, all of you listen up...you are not to help at any costs. You are not to show your face out of rooms no matter what. The child is named Toby Williams he's only eleven months old and doesn't know how to speak yet. I am assigning..."
The room suddenly filled with excitement, though Miranda didn't understand why.
"I am assigning you children to look after him while Sarah Williams, his sister, challenges the labyrinth." Jareth explained.
"You mean he's not staying with us?" Breanne said pouting as she flipped her light brown hair over her shoulder.
"Of course he is you idiot," Cori, a twelve-year old blonde, said rolling her baby blue eyes skyward, "No one ever beats the Labyrinth, you should know that by now!"
Breanne stuck her tongue out. Cori and Breanne were twins though Breanne had asked Jareth if he could give her black hair instead of blonde so now they looked a little different.
Jareth handed Toby to Christina to hold then disappeared in a pretty puff of glitter. Toby immediately began crying.
Christina looked at the baby nervously, she'd never dealt with a baby younger then three years old...how was she supposed to handle this!? Gotta give it to someone with more experience, "here you go Diana." she said handing Toby to Diana, a fourteen year old with silvery blonde hair and bright green eyes.
Diana took Toby and rocked him slightly cooing comforting words in a different language.
Toby immediately quieted down, stifled a yawn, and fell right to sleep.
Miranda looked at the small blonde baby boy, "He's so cute..." she said quietly careful not to wake him.
"Yeah...if you like fat faced kids." Andrew said snickering.
Christina looked at him with a sophisticated look, "You're one to talk! I bet you were even uglier when you were that age. When you were born the doctors probably hit your face thinking it was your butt!"
He looked angry, "Oh yeah? Well to me it looks like you were beaten with an ugly stick."
"At least it didn't do as much damage as yours did."
"Oh yeah!?"
"YEAH!"
Right when they were about to engage in a fist-to-face combat Toby began crying louder then ever at being awakened from his slumber.
"You see what you did!?" Christina asked as she glared at Andrew.
"What I did? I wasn't the one who yelled 'yeah' so loud that it echoed off the halls!"
"...you started it by insulting Toby. So it's your fault." Said Christina sticking out her tongue.
Miranda shook her head slightly and all of the boys went into their rooms to play.
The girls stayed and stared at the baby who was still crying despite Diana's tries to make him go to sleep.
"Well how are we going to make him fall asleep?" asked Rina the youngest of their group at age four and a half. She had her middle finger and ring finger of her right hand in her mouth, those were the ones she sucked on instead of her thumb and in her left she held a faded purple teddy-bear.
"He doesn't have to fall asleep." Diana said thinking for a while, "Maybe just play with him or something."
"Well what does he like to play with?" asked Breanne, "I mean we all haven't been Aboveground for a while."
"Well Miranda just got here didn't she? So what do little kids play with?" asked Cori.
"Um...well, I don't really have any siblings but my best friend Molly had a baby sister and she played with stuffed animals and dolls."
"Can you think about the toys for a moment?" asked Diana as she put Toby on the floor for a little while.
"Sure," Miranda said unsure but she thought about the many different toys anyway. And Diana's cold fingers soon pressed against Miranda's forehead and when they finally left, Miranda opened her eyes to see a pile of toys.
Suddenly Jareth appeared and looked at Diana sternly, "Diana. I told you you're not allowed to use magic without a supervisor until you're 18."
"Sorry, Jareth but the kid was crying and we needed to make some toys for him."
"I hope that will be enough," replied Jareth sarcastically as he looked over at the huge pile of toys.
"I'm sure it will be. Now you can go attend to your usual matters of changing the Labyrinth around as the poor girl tries to get through it."
Before Diana even finished the sentence Jareth had already disappeared.
"Hey Di, the kid's still crying...I don't think he wanted toys." Christina said as Toby's crying still filled the room.
"Maybe he's hungry?" Miranda suggested but before Diana was going to summon baby food Breanne started smelling at the air curiously. Cori followed suit then everyone and soon enough all of them plugged their noses and tried to clear the air by waving their hands around.
"Ugh! What is that smell!?" Cori asked though it sounded rather comical as she had her nose plugged.
"I think he went to the bathroom..." Diana replied.
"In his pants? Ew!" Cori said sticking out her tongue.
"That means you have to change his diapers...he's not potty-trained yet..." Miranda said who had her hand over her mouth and nose as she breathed in and out Darth Vader style.
They all stared at Toby who was still sitting on the floor bawling.
"Er...I think I hear Andrew insulting me. I have to go and teach him a lesson! Have fun!" called Christi as she ran out of the room.
Breanne and Cori looked at eachother, "I think Jareth is calling me," they said in unison and ran off. Rina had already left the room along with everyone else leaving Miranda and Diana.
Diana sighed and shrugged, "Alright Miranda think of some clean dipers, baby wipes, a trash can, and anything else we'll be needing."
Miranda did as she was told and thought of the items. Diana produced them and took off Toby's diaper which made the smell suddenly ten times stronger.
"AGH!!!" the cried in unison and covered their noses with their sleeves.
"I'm never having a child..." Diana said as she threw the dirty diaper away and with a grimace began the cleaning process, "I think I'm going to throw up..." she said still wearing the disgusted grimace, "You could have thought of gloves you know."
"Sorry. Just think of it as chocolate."
"Only it smells bad and I don't want to eat it," said Diana as she put the clean diaper on Toby who stopped crying. Diana ran off to wash her hands and suddenly all the girls poured back in saying they were false alarms and no one had been calling them.
"Oh I see you and Diana managed to change the baby's diapers? I would've helped but I really thought I heard Jareth calling me..." Cori said mocking sadness.
"You can do it next time," said Diana walking into the room drying her hands on a towel, "That was the nastiest thing I've ever done. And I swear I will never do it again."
Christina sighed, "I really would have helped you but Andrew was talking about me to his friends saying that I was annoying and ugly."
"Yeah right, admit it we just didn't want to change Toby's diapers," Breanne said with a long sigh.
"Well you might not have wanted to, as I didn't, but I would've stayed. And if you want proof that Andrew called me those things then go and see for yourself."
"No need to come and look, Jareth said it was our turn to take care of the kid," Andrew said as he walked in, his arms folded across his chest, with a beautiful blue bruise forming on his jaw. Christina only smirked and stuck her tongue out.
