Chapter 4-
The three girls followed Hoggle upstairs. They weren't sure how they felt about having separate rooms. But, Hoggle explained they needed plenty of room for their wardrobe of new dresses.
"Dresses!" cried Shannon as they reached her room. "I don't want to wear dresses."
"King's orders," explained Hoggle, sounding a bit annoyed. He could already tell that they weren't going to get along very well.
"Oh, very well," Shannon pouted. Her bottom lip stuck out. "See you all tonight." And with that, she went into her room.
"Grouchy girl, ain't she?" Hoggle asked as he limped towards Christy's room.
"Well, you just have to know what makes her tick," explained Christy as she and Mayleene followed. "That is the case for anyone."
"I suppose so," sighed Hoggle. Under his breath he muttered, "Hoghead. The nerve!" Christy just rolled her eyes.
"Here is your room, Miss Christy," said Hoggle as he opened the door.
"Thanks!" replied Christy. "See you at dinner Mayleene." Mayleene smiled and nodded. After Christy closed her door, Mayleene and Hoggle proceeded down the hall.
"You're awful quiet," said Hoggle. "Is everything alright?"
"Of course," said Mayleene softly. "Why do you ask?"
"Most girls I know are always talking. You can never get them to shut up." This caused Mayleene to laugh.
"I suppose that is true," she said. "Especially in the case of those two," she inclined her head towards Shannon and Christy's doors, "but I just don't see the need to talk right now."
"I think you will be my favorite." Hoggle smiled.
"Why do you say that?" Mayleene asked. As shocked as she was, she kept to her task of looking at all the pictures on the walls. Most of them were landscapes, though there were a few of Jareth.
"You're quiet and don't yell at me for things unknown," Hoggle replied as he opened the door.
"If you say so," said Mayleene.
