A/N: You should thank my muses for this chappy and the ones to come. They were the ones who got me off of the whole Sarah/Jareth romance thing, which would have been a total bore if written by me. I'll leave that stuff to other better writers. Also THANK YOU and for all the cool info!!!!!! I knew gnomes and goblins were related!!!!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything other than my cat, my muses, a couple of odds and ends, and my cell phone. The rest is other peoples.

Rebecca's Tale

After racing through the long winding tunnels Rebecca finally reached her room. She let a small sigh escape from her lips as she silently closed the door behind her. Her father had always told her that meddling in the affairs of the Faerie was a dangerous business that only the most trained and experienced gnomes would ever dare try to do.

But this, she thought to her self, needed to be done.

Besides she had gone through all the right channels to submit her request to the council, and had been denied on the grounds that her claim held no verity, and that her motives were completely based on her particular childish sentiments.

She fumed at this memory.

Childish indeed!!!! She was already 200 years old, never mind the fact that the council was made up of all males over the age of 800!

Senseless old bats! She would show them what she thought of their procedure. She'd make sure this thing would work. Then they could judge her sentiments all they liked.

Exhausted because of the journey she'd made and the task she had just done she sank down in a comfy chair by her fireplace. It was winter in the underground while it was summer above. She remembered the warm breeze that had blown through her silver hair as she had made her way up to the earth child's room. Her purple eyes sparkled, at the memory of the cat that had tried to play with her. She loved cats, unlike other gnomes. Cats were the only sensible creatures aboveground, though because of this they thought themselves quite rare and special, and that made them arrogant. She still loved them, mainly their kittens because they were so sweet and soft, unlike the moles and other creatures that lived underground. Moles may have one of the finest coats of fur, but they were always so rude, pushing their "rights" to the ultimate limit. Gnomes barely had any breathing room any more.

She had hoped that her best friend Alvis would be able to resolve the issue of underground space separation between the gnomes and the moles, but he had had to leave very suddenly because of an urgent message from the Goblin King...........
