Tenshi-san: I have been busy lately, so updates are probably going to be sporadic. So sorry to the people who like reading this little bit piece of madness that I write. Oh! And thank you to my reviewers! ^^ I'm so happy people read this…

Chapter Three: The Shaft of Helping Hands and More Glitter, Of Course.#
Jareth released me without reliving me of any body parts. And he also left in a huff, showing that goblin men are just as pissy as human men. Tell an attractive man he's groping a girl, and he acts so outlandish.
That's not to say I wasn't happy that Galen had said what he said. I really don't know what Jareth would have done if he hadn't been stopped when he had. It could have been bad. It could have involved kissing.
____________________________________
So know we, the ducklings and I, were wandering around in the middle of the beginning of the Labyrinth. And I do mean wandering. I just took the turns that pleased me. Galen was the first to notice.
"Is it just me, or are we just walking around these passages randomly?"
"Yes." I had decided to be honest. Yeah. Me, honest. Ha. I just couldn't think of a lie that was plausible that fast.
"WHY?" The outburst was immediate. I wasn't surprised, how would you feel if your tour guide told you she didn't know where she was going. I certainly would feel the need to yell. Though not quite as loud as they were yelling at me.
I threw up my hands, "Hold on! The reason I'm choosing a random path is so Jareth doesn't change it when we get close to where I need to be."
"Oh." Everyone looked a bit chastised. Good. Annoying little buggers…
Thankfully Jareth decided not to interfere, and I found the four shield guys about ten minutes later. "Ok, guys, I don't care who's lying or telling the truth. All I want to do is go through the door the blue ones are guarding."
"But that's not right!" said one of the red guards.
"Yeah! You have to do the test!" said the bottom blue guard.
"If you have to do the test, you'd better. We do not want Jareth coming back," said Galen. Isn't he the nice, calm one? I don't know, but he almost seems jealous…
"We don't want Mister Goblin King to come back, or you don't want Mister Goblin King too come back?" I said.
" Are you implying that I'm jealous of that blond, insensitive, pri–"
"Uh… no, I'm most definitely not implying that…"
"Good."
"I'm saying it." I said.
______________________________________________________________
In the Castle, Jareth was sitting on his throne. Which was normal, as far as his subjects were concerned. Even kicking his feet was normal, and much preferred to say, kicking them.
What wasn't normal was that he was singing. Well, really what he was singing was odd. Songs like 'As the World Falls Down' or 'Dance Magic' were normal. Not some song apparently titled 'Suicide Is Painless'.#
"Through early morning fog I see/ Visions of the things to be/ The pains that are withheld for me/I realize and I can see…" he sang.
Some unlucky goblin that had most definitely got the short end of some straw.# It was his job to ask Jareth what was wrong. " Umm… sir?"
"Yes, Hogbrain?"
"It's Hoggle. HOGGLE!" Hoggle shouted. He always was touchy about his name.
"Yes, of course, Hoggle. What is it that you want so badly you dare to interrupt my song?"
"Uh… yeah…" Hoggle looked back to the other jeering goblins. No help there. "We was wondering what was wrong with your Worshipfulness."
Jareth ignored Hoggle and continued singing, "The game of life is hard to play/ I'm gonna lose it anyway/ The losing card I'll someday lay/So this is all I have to say// That suicide is painless/it brings on many changes/and I can take or leave it if I please// The only way to win is cheat/ and lay it down before I'm beat/and to another give my seat/for that's the only painless feat."
After singing this he got up and wandered away, ignoring his goblins completely. This wasn't good, Hoggle thought. Jareth was never depressed. Even after that debacle with Sarah defeating him, he had bounced back fairly quickly. He had only sung the song 'Seven' for about a week. It was still a favourite with the goblins.
You see, some songs only get sung when the singer is very jovial, and when depressed. 'Suicide is Painless' is the second type. No one in a good mood sings it while happy.
END
Tenshi-san: Another short one. DAMN! I keep getting more ideas for other stories…
Neko-chan: You are the queen of unfinished work. Did you ever finish that picture from Dragon Knights?
Tenshi-san: No… OH! Yeah, if the footnotes confuse you, disregard them.
