Chapter 5
"Sami. This is the Library. I've been here before, hell, I practically LIVE here." Sarah gave Sami a glance out of the corner of her eye to see if she could figure out what her friend was planning for her, if anything. Sami had a bad habit of leading people on what seemed to be pointless, wild- goose chaises, but they always ended up well enough. Sometimes even fun, or at least amusing.
"Duh. I knew that silly" Sami giggled, slapping Sarah's back and walking into the very large, very old stone building. It almost seemed out of place in the busy center of the town that they lived in. The stores and highway did little as a background, and neither did the mall across the street that seemed to get more attention then it's neighbor. Sarah didn't consciously note any of this as she followed her friend into the library, she just followed and hoped that her trip wasn't a complete waste of time.
"Sarah! You haven't been around here in almost two weeks. That's not like you, you know." The librarian, Mrs. B called, as quietly as she could from her desk, waving.
"Hi." Sarah smiled and walked over to Mrs. B "I've been busy. Is there anything new in?"
"Actually..no, but we're -"
"There you are! I thought I lost you." Mrs. Be was cut off by Sami.
"Ah. I see you're here with a friend." The Librarian smiled. "Tell me if you need anything." The two girls nodded and Sami led Sarah over to the tables in the corner marked "Current Events".
"Lookie!" Sami pointed at the table, and Sarah looked in the general direction that Sami's finger was extended towards, but just looked back at her friend with a black stare. "Ugh." Sami picked up a greenish sheet of paper off of one of the piles on the table and handed it to Sarah.

"Shit" Jareth was digging through a random pile of what could only be described as "stuff" in his castle somewhere. He had searched through every other room twice, so it HAD to be in this room.
"Yer Majesty?"
Jareth looked up briefly to see Hoggle standing in the doorway and rolled his eyes. "Yes? What now?"
"What are you looking for?"
"Something. Is that what you came to say?"
"No." There was short pause and the King looked up again as if to say 'well, get on with it', so Hoggle mustered up all of his courage and continued on. "Do you really love her? Uhh, Miss Sarah that is."
Jareth stopped what he was doing, mid-action, put what he had picked up back where it was and watched Hoggle with a mixed look of awe and absolute power. "Now, why would you come all the way over here, and interrupt me to ask me something like that?" The words just seemed to roll out of his mouth, very nonchalantly.
"Well, it's just that she's my friend and all, and I wanna make sure that she won't get hurt or nuthin." Even after everything that had happened, there was still something about Jareth that scared Hoggle silly, and he knew that it could be heard in his voice.
"Ahha. Well," Jareth began pacing back and forth coolly, a few steps in each direction. "it's really not anything you SHOULD be concerning yourself with, but because you actually had the guts to ask, I'll answer." He stopped. "Yes."
There was another silence as the two looked at one another, trying to figure something out about the other. Hoggle changed the subject, or tried to, "Why don't you just have a goblin or someone find what you lost for you?"
"Because, I don't trust any of the goblin's to find it FOR me." The goblin king rolled his eyes and turned around. Hoggle knew that he was getting, or had gotten annoying and it was time to leave before things were thrown.

Heyyyy. It's been a little bit since my last update, and I doubt that I'll get many chances to add more then 2 chapters to this fan-fic for another three weeks or so. Winter break just ended, so I'm back to school and life (ahhhh, life). And well, midterms start in two and a half weeks, so until they're over chances are I won't get much written. T_T On a lighter note, tomorrow is Friday. Yay Friday! But now, I need sleep. ~MF 1.8.04
