Chapter Twenty Six - The Fabulous Labyrinth Competition!

A/N - OK. Here's the deal. If you can guess how many David Bowie references (not including Labyrinth) I've put in this story up to this chapter, I will add you or a character of your choice in one of the later chapters. Answer me by review or e-mail please, along with any of your own ideas.
Thank you and good luck. Oddity Incarnate.

"Yargh! What the hell do they thinks they're doing?" said the Pirate King angrily as he watched our heroes sleep peacefully on the plasma screen in his office (alien pirates tended to move with the times). He had bugged that Goblin creature with a hidden camera so he could monitor their progress and he was in no way pleased.
"You obviously don't know that lot very well." said Sarah "They can detect all alcoholic beverages within a hundred mile radius." Sarah and Caradoc had been held hostage by the pirates for about four months now. Initially she was furious at the prospect but later came to realise that it was all Jareth's fault and she would just have to wait until he got back so she could beat him up and throw him out of the castle. The prospect made her fell marginally better and after the first few weeks she and the Pirate King had become quite close friends. He smoked like a chimney but had a great sense of humour and was an excellent guitarist.
"I wouldn't mind so much if it weren't my 'oliday 'ome they was atrashing!" said the Pirate King. "And the fact that they seem to 'ave completely forgotten about my treasure."
"Well you see, Jareth has a really short attention span." Sarah explained while flicking through the other channels on the T.V. "It all began in the early seventies when he was taking copious amounts of...Oooh look! Wrestling." The story was left untold.
They watched the GWF (galactic wrestling federation) championships for a while until the Pirate King sighed and switched it off.
"Yargh! It all be fixed." he grumbled. "Ye'd think that with over a hundred million channels there be somethin' vaguely watchable."
"Too right." said Sarah "I mean ninety nine million of them are religious networks for a start and the rest are either cheap, nasty, repeated or deadly boring."
The Pirate King nodded in agreement. He had no idea Earthlings could be so...down to Earth! Well that didn't make any sense but you get the point. Anyway he found that Sarah was wonderful company, for a hostage and her son was just delightful, if not a little dangerous. No need to take a paternity test there! Suddenly a glimmering little idea flashed across his rum laden brain and a wicked grin appeared on his face revealing a lot of gold teeth.
"Sarah. I gots an idea!"
"I told you! No!"
"No not that sort o' idea!" the Pirate King protested. "We could sell all this hidden camera footage to one o' the T.V. companies. We could make a fortune!"
"I don't think people would want to watch my husband and his friends make fools of themselves." said Sarah sceptically.
"That be exactly what people want to watch!" came her reply. "Jareth and that hot Zean lass could be the next big thing, the new Wayne and Garth."
"What?"
"They've got the partying attitude, the comic antics and gravity defying hair straight out of Yu-Gi-Oh! It just leaks hit potential! And I'll share the profits equally with ye,
sixty/forty." said the Pirate King excitedly.
Sarah considered this. She had no need for money but the opportunity of humiliating Jareth on national television was just to good to turn down. She smiled evilly.
"All right Mr Pirate King. You just got yourself a deal."

A/N - I just gave Sarah a chapter of her own as she was feeling a little left out.
Whoops, sorry. Hope you enjoyed it and please leave a review.
P.S - Big thanks once again to Daemon Faerie Queen. Phew! For a moment there I thought I'd gone too far with the weird stuff.
