Thomas felt like he had been running for hours now and the angry man who had later
discovered to be the Mikado was showing no signs of tiring out. If anything he was
thrashing that sword around with even more fervour. He had no idea what he had done
wrong. It probably had something to do with him laughing at the man's hat. But was
he really to blame if he saw a complete stranger with a stuffed turkey on his head.
While he was thinking about his supposed offence, Thomas failed to keep his eyes on
the road and ended up in a head on collision with a lady with a basket full of
shopping, his girlfriend, a Goblin King, a horde of angry pirates, a terrified Goblin and
an ice cream van. It was horrible, there were Soleros and stale flakes and raspberry sauce
everywhere! What a waste!
Everyone seemed to be in shock and didn't particularly pay any attention to him or the
unrolled map that had fluttered down into his lap. After checking everything was in
one piece he noticed the police rushing in their direction so he promptly legged it to
the nearest side alley assuming the others would follow. They did not. Thomas sighed
to himself. This was not good!

"I can't believe we got arrested!" shouted Hilarity as she paced up and down the filthy
little prison cell she and Jareth had been thrown into. "...I mean again!" she corrected
herself.
Jareth just sat in silence trying to get the rest of the ice cream out of his hair.
"Well are you going to get us out of here then or are you going to sit on your arse all
day?" she snapped at him angrily.
"I can't the bars are made of iron, they're blocking my magic." came her reply.
"Bugger!" cried Hilarity and sank down on the bench.
"Have you got any conditioner, Hils?"
"Sure, l'Oreal or Head and Shoulders?...." said Hilarity sarcastically "...of course I
don't have any bloody conditioner!"
"I was just asking on the off chance." Jareth protested "No need to get all moody on
me!"
"I'm sorry." the girl sighed "We were just so close and we buggered it up! And I'm
cold! And that man chained to the wall's looking at me weird."
"Was not!" protested the cell's third occupant.
Jareth smiled and handed her his cloak to keep warm "Don't worry, pickle. I'm sure
we'll get out of this eventually. And ignore the psycho chained to the wall."
"Oi! I resent that!" said the man chained to the wall.
"Quiet you!"
"I'm chained to the bloody wall. It's not like I can turn around and face the opposite direction!"
Their thoughts were rudely interrupted when someone banged a truncheon loudly
against the bars of their cell.
"You two!" bellowed the guard "You got bailed. You're free to go."
"Result!" cried Hilarity happily. The two friends made their way outside into glaring
sunshine. Hilarity was curious as to who bailed them out and prayed to Elvis that it
wasn't that bloody Pirate King. A skinny red-headed figure rushed to greet them.
"Tom!" she said, overjoyed and flung her arms around his neck. "God am I glad to see
you! Thank you so much."
"It was nothing." said Thomas and blushed and pulled out the treasure map from his
pocket.
Hilarity checked what it was and gasped with delight. The alien received another hug.
"How did you get the money to bail us out?" asked Jareth.
"I sold a kidney." said Thomas.
"What!"
"It's OK. I can survive with three."
"Aww! You gave a kidney for me!" cried Hilarity "That's so sweet!"
"Anything for you, Hils." said Thomas and started kissing her passionately.
"Oh for Christ's sake! Get a room!" said Jareth.
"You're just jealous because Tom fancies me and not you." said Hilarity and laughed.
"Come on. Let's find some treasure!"
