"So," Sarah paused a moment and then spoke again in the most serious manor "your going to hunt down and kill this Cucui thing?"
"I suppose so," Idony muttered "but then I can go home."
"And where would that be?" Sarah asked.
"Boston," Idony said gladly. She didn't miss the whole city thing but, she missed all her friends and her mother. Sarah nodded. "So why are you here?"
"I accidentally wished myself away," Sarah muttered "in my sleep." Idony laughed hysterically. Sarah really was childish. Puck muttered something to himself and Idony turned to him giving a puzzled look.
"Humm?" he asked.
"What were you saying?" Idony asked.
"Nothing, nothing," he gave a fake smile and Idony raised an eyebrow.
"Anyways," Sarah interrupted "maybe you can talk to Jareth and get me out of here."
"Me?" Idony said looking from Sarah to Puck. How could this Sarah girl expect her to get Jareth to do anything? "I'm afraid your going to have to fight this battle alone."
"But I fought the last one alone," Sarah pouted.
"Actually," Idony chimed "you didn't. You had three others with you; a dwarf, a beast and... who was it?"
"Sir. Didymus," Puck said helpfully "remember you met him last Yule?"
"Oh yes," Idony agreed "the fox right? With that cute dog...er... steed." Jareth knocked on the door and Sarah quickly flew into a rage. She screamed a few curses at him and went storming into her bathroom.
"Going well?" he asked and Idony walked out of the room quickly.
"Hey!" Puck called after her but she didn't bother turning around. She just kept walking until she reached the castle's garden. She quickly climbed a large oak tree and hid behind one of it's many branches. She was upset for more than one reason.
"Woman," Jareth muttered from under the tree.
"Don't you have children to steal?!" Idony asked from the fourth branch up.
"I don't steal," he yelled "I just do as I'm asked."
"Well how about you go away?" she asked.
"What's wrong with you NOW?" he asked but she just ignored him. He narrowed his eyes and raised his hand slightly, concentrating on her. She rose up off the branch and levitated down to the ground, though her feet didn't touch the ground. "Answer me."
"I'm not a babysitter," Idony said stiffly.
"Yeah," he agreed "I suppose she's changed quiet a bit. Different from the stories you've heard I'm sure."
"No offence," Idony said "because I know you love her and all, but she's a brat." Jareth silently agreed, Sarah had changed in the year she'd been away.
"I don't love her," he said setting Idony's feet on the ground "I did I mean but, she's not for me. She's too much of a realist now."
