Gemini: Chapter 2 "The Meeting"

When Lydia had woken up that mourning all her thoughts wavered back to that man and the kiss. Although only a dream she could honestly say that the kiss was by far the best kiss she ever had or even dream of having. She smiled and thought, 'Why can't kisses in reality be that good, it makes a girl not want to wake up.' She finally decided to go into the kitchen to have her mourning coffee.

'God why can't I get that kiss out of my head, or those eyes.' They looked liked David's yet not, David's eyes were mismatched because of an incident that happened at school. This man was born with those eyes. 'Snap out of it girl.'

She knew than that today wasn't going to be like any other.

---- -----

Deep in castle someone else was having very similar thoughts.

"Who was that girl?" the man murmured to himself. After he had woken up from last night's dream he had been furious. How dare someone enter his dreams. Dreams were usually his forte. But this girl had entered his dreams unnoticed until she had made contact with him. Usually if anyone had tried to enter his dream he would know. He wasn't a complete expert on dreams but his experience with them would make him aware that someone was intruding. The girl though seemed at a lost when he had looked in to her eyes, like she didn't really know what was going on other than intruding in his dream. What was the most interesting thing is that she didn't look as if she was straining or out of energy while she was in the dream, usually someone one would be somewhat strained while they where in someone else's consciousness. This girl must have some amazing power.

"You majesty everything for this weekends ball is going as planed," said a voice taking the king out of train of thought. "Everyone that was invited has accepted your invitations." The young man in front of him trying to be bold, "Oh I have also heard that Lady Luana was very quick to accept your invitation, I believe she is rather taking by you."

"Tidus, how many times must I tell you to call me Jareth. Only call me Your Majesty if in a formal situation." Ignoring the part about some woman being interested in him. 'Even my page is trying to marry me off.' He thought irritably

"Yes Yo.. Jareth." A goblin then ran in and told the page there was some kind of problem in the kitchen. "Please excuse me there is some business that needs attending immediately." Jareth made a hand gesture as if to say go on. The young man was was just about to leave the king's office. When the king spoke again.

"Tidus, I want my dinner served early tonight. I have some business in the Aboveground tonight. Which also means cancel any of today's appointments or meetings."

"Yes Your Majesty" then the young man left the room. Jareth shook his head thinking 'when will that boy learn.'

"Home at last." As Lydia entered her apartment. "Oww...Oww. Body hurt." Lydia's body was completely and utterly sore. Since today was Saturday she had all her classes, as in dance classes, aikido, fencing, yoga, and iiodo(form of Japanese fencing). Usually she didn't feel this sore, but today she had over worked herself. Trying to get that dream out of her head.

Every time she would throw a punch she would think about that dream or every time she would do a spin she would think about those eyes, those haunting eyes. 'It couldn't of been real' she kept on telling herself all day. The taste of the kiss was still fresh as well. She had no other choice than to overwork yourself, if she had not she would have gotten lost in her thoughts.

She went into her room and changed into one of her over sized t-shirt. And went into the kitchen to make dinner. "Spaghetti sounds good." As soon as she said it there was a thunder crash. "What the hell, it was perfectly clear this afternoon." What was even more curious was that this storm was like a east coast storm, and she lived on the West coast. She looked outside and saw something she did not expect. An owl. And it was looking strait at her. The eyes didn't hold that usual look of pure instinct, in its place was pure intelligence. The way it was looking at her terrified her, but her not being one to cower for anything stared back at it with confidence.

The owl then flew strait towards the window, Lydia thinking it would crash against was surprised that the windows opened up to the creature as it entered. It flew around her head several times then flew out of sight and into the living room. As she walked into the living room she paused as the shadow of the bird changed into the shape of a man.

She entered the living room looking strait into the mans eyes. They stared at each other for some time. Sizing each other up. Lydia looked at the man and was surprised that she wasn't the least bit surprised at the fact that this man was the man from the dream or the fact that he was real.

"Hello my dear. I believe you and I have much to discuss." She was looking at him with a somewhat confused face. She felt as if she had seen him somewhere else other than the dream. The voice was once again very familiar but it had a different edge to it.

"Who are you?" Was all she could ask. Before anything could go any further.

"Oh forgive me for my rudeness. My name is Jareth the Goblin King." Her face looked at him with complete understanding. Her thoughts 'so he is real. I always thought so.'

"Lydia, so you're Jareth. The man from the dream."

"Yes, and I believe there is much to discuss"
