Jared walked up to Jareth's study that morning, after getting back from his LONG holiday he had to try to ease his heart ache from Jasmine leaving.
He was a man much like Jareth but with brown hair, same mis-matched eyes, and ivory skin, and very much handsome. However, instead of the tights and poet's shirt, exclusively Goblin Ruling wear, he was dressed in a more sporting attire right now, think 18th century crockery.
"Knock Knooocckkkk" Jared said comically at the door, obviously the trip to Las Isle Dragoona did him well. However by the looks of Jareth, perhaps he needed the same medication!
Jareth just mumbled something like 'hello' looked up pissed and then rolled his eyes.
"Well good morning to you too dear brother" Jared said sarcastically and sat down on a seat opposite the desk separating the two men, leaning back flinging his legs on the desk which just made Jareth tilt his head with a glare.
"I see your trip did you well, have fun with any new mermaids?" Jareth asked not really caring of the outcome and not mentioning the fact the past month he had been seeing Jasmine whenever he saw Sarah, Jared knew none of this yet….
"Jareth!" Jared laughed. "Atleast you haven't lost your sense of humour with that gloomy mood" but then added with a more serious tone, "you know I am still bound to Jasmine in my heart" And truthfully her being away from him made him miss her, which caused him rejecting other offers from fae's, mermaids and other females.
Jareth looked up. "I thought the whole reason you went on that trip though was to try to forget her?"
"Jareth, I was a jerk I know that now, going on that trip just made me realize that even more, I never listened to her, and that's why she ran off…" Jareth looked at his brother surprised, God what had happened to Jared?
"You seem pretty happy though might I add?"
"Yes, because I've decided to go Above ground and sort this out finally with Jasmine and bring her back!"
Well the one big difference between Jareth and Jared was that Jared seemed to act on his impulses a lot more, but now things Jared were telling him were making Jareth feel like an ass for what happened between him and Sarah the night before. And Jareth didn't like that one bit.
"Well good luck on that one…." Jareth let out with a large sigh
"What ever do you mean brother?" Jared said with an eyebrow cocked
"What I mean to say is that while you have been a way…….oh god let me start from the beginning"
And with that Jareth told Jared about seeing Sarah, finding Jasmine, both of them ganging up on him all the time being 'Millenium chicks'-as Jaz would say, finding out they are best of friends living Aboveground together, and all about the recent nose-dive in Jareth and Sarah's relationship, last night.
Jared started laughing which Jareth shot another glare at
"WHAT may I ask is so funny about this, Sarah is best friends with your ex-fiance, well I can say Sarah is most likely an ex too now, living above ground together mocking us behind and INFRONT of us, we have both been made to look like fools by these women and you are LAUGHING???"
Jared eased up abit but couldn't help grinning
"Yes dear brother, it is so funny because unlike you who have still yet to see the error in your ways it is I who have, and it is I who are going above ground to get Jasmine back, and I have to say find it quite funny how she still calls you 'peachey" Jared chuckled again "The two girls seem to be getting a long quite well, the mere thought of them ganging up on you is just funny!"
Jareth just rolled his eyes and scowled
"And as for ex-fiance, after I see Jasmine, and prove myself to her, that wont be the case.."
"Well like I said before, good luck on that one…..but Error in my ways? Have you not been listening when I tell you that Sarah is the one who broke it off with me, because I was talking to Lily??" Jared shot a look up at Jareth
"Ok, you left that small little detail out about Lily" Jareth had only mentioned Sarah breaking it off, now Jared understood why, Lily
Jareth shot a triumphant smile
"Despite being Goblin King, You really are an idiot Jareth" Jareth, mouth open was ready to protest but Jared cut him off
"LILY ….Jareth, does not give a toss about your problems with Sarah, infact it would be most fitting to say that she would delight in them, if she is the same Lily I know…:"
This situation was much too like Jared and Jasmine's at one stage, the same Lily had tried to seduce Jared but Jasmine was a mermaid not to be messed with and soon kicked her ass so to speak.
Fortunately though, Jasmine had a royal power behind her that allowed her to do so, with Sarah, it was all to well known that she had to basically put up with the flirting from other fae's, as she was just a mortal, and she had to basically grin and bear it.
"Well maybe none of this is to do with Lily, perhaps me and Sarah do need a break like she said" Jareth was lying through his teeth but couldn't help the fact Sarah had cut him like a knife the night before.
"Stubborn, this is why Jasmine has been away for me for the past 5 years, you're an idiot if you let this continue…but I cant stop you, I just hope the universe teaches you Jareth a lesson…for I have learnt my lonely lesson" Jared looked at his brother now sincerely
"I know you love her Jareth all these years, Sarah's heart is just a small reach from your grasp now, it is most likely yours from the sounds of it if you act now. I had never known you would have gone to see her, above ground, I just hope that you can both settle these differences before it is too late"
Jared stopped looking at Jareths cold, unmasked face, and decided now would be the best time to probably take his leave
"Well I am off myself to prepare to go to the above ground……unless you want to accompany me.."
Jareth gave him a look as to say, don't even ask and Jared sighed and disappeared with the parting words
"Such a pity"
Previous Night, after nose-dive relationship
After a horrendous night of crying, bitchy thoughts of certain Lily's, and Goblin Kings, Sarah decided to ring Jaz before she went to bed and organize a market shopping morning, the one thing that could perhaps get her mind off Jareth.
Jaz completely agreed, after having a lonely night thinking of Jared and said she would meet her there at 9am.
The next Day, Above Ground
"The problem I think with men today, above ground and below, especially to us Millenium chicks like us…" Jaz started, Sarah giggled at the thought of her ancient mermaid friend being a Millenium chick alas just looking at Jaz you could see she was nevertheless
"Is that they have no idea how much we can control in them, most fae women and all the other ancient chicks down underground are way too dependent on men themselves, therefore giving them the upper hand. We know how we can get upper hand and that angers men"
The two females walked up to a strange hippy stall looking at trinkets.
"You know, even after a month of balls and all that being with Jareth Underground, I totally see what you mean, I mean most fae women especially seem like such airheads when it comes to men (think Lily grr bitch) but I have to admit I like the guy having upper hand every now and then. But with Jareth its like he wants to control everything, thinks he can control me, but deep down inside knows a part of me wants to let loose at those balls and tell these fae bitches where to go. But that is where I could get upper hand, and I think it scared him that I would actually do it! Or just use sex as a weapon- no sex or sex when I want it!"
They both turned to each other and squeled
'to fuck like a man!' they had both adopted that saying from Samantha, Sex and the City and used it whenever they were both down about men.
Jaz laughed turning to Sarah shaking her head
"We both have the same relationship problem now, with 2 guys who have the same upper hand problem, who both happen to be goblin nobility, and we both want to let loose when it comes to seelie courtiers! the irony of it" Jaz looked at Sarah again and noted her sad look, obviously still very upset about the night before
"Sarah, if Jareth can't learn then that is his fault, as for last night well, you did what you had to do, you were hurt and if he can't see that well, humph, fuck him…now what are your plans this evening…"
Sarah gave a small smile however was still breaking inside, she didn't want this to be the end with Jareth, not after seeing him all over again just to lose him again, but what could she do?
"I plan on ordering a family size pizza and eat myself to death" Sarah patted her flat, non-existent stomach giving a small laugh, stuff dieting for now
Jaz looked at her shocked, mouth wide open
"You can't do that alone it's a full moon tonight, very silly thing to do…Ill come over at 8pm help you eat it and bring a bottle of wine!" And with that Jaz pecked Sarah a kiss goodbye leaving Sarah standing there waving at her friend as she rushed off
Sarah was thankful of Jaz, but she was so confused right now…and hurt, all she wanted was Jareth to stop acting like a selfish ass, be on time for a date for once, announce he was madly in love with her to everyone underground pissing a certain fae off and come back into her life again…………………..Sarah felt tears coming to her eyes and rushed back home to cry some more
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jasmine walked into her apartment after a long day meeting with Sony reps and what not after the market with Sarah. She flung herself on the couch and shut her eyes.
As soon as she shut them she felt his presence. A gift magical folk in the Underground had when they sensed their loved ones near. Whether they were pissed at them or not.
"Jareddddddd" She said with a bored sigh, what was he doing here?
She opened her eyes with a huge bouquet of exotic flowers, hiding the face of a man who had the same build as Jareth yet a little more muscled, a brown head of hair, dressed in above ground suit. Armani to be exact.
Jasmine eyed him up and down, trying to force the smirk off her lips and replaced it with aloofness, total ice-queen.
"What are you doing here?" She said as he pulled the flowers away from him "AFTER, how many years…" She sarcastically counted on her fingers
"Jazzzzz, I have come to…oh god this is not going to be as easy as I thought" Jared said looking at her questioning looks " I come to prove myself a better man by living Above Ground with you, until you wish to come home…"
Jasmine actually looked like she was about to laugh but then she turned her head
"Jared, you said to me that you never wanted to come here, so why should I believe you now, I mean you got shitty at me just for asking to stay Aboveground for a few years, and you completely went off your rocker, I believe your words were 'Fine if you want to go above ground leave, but do not expect me to follow' and I have been here ever since…."
"I know" Jared dropped to his knees, knee crawling to her siting down with her chin still up but looking down at him
He clasped her hand. "But please humour me just this once, I love you Jasmine, I always have and always will, we are bound to each other, you know this as much as I do, I am so sorry for being a imbecile"
As much as she wanted to slap him in the face as much as kiss him she decided to go halfway.
"Ill tell you what, Ill give you a chance" Jared looked at her hopefully and happy
"Obviously you will stay with me, BUT we will have separate bedrooms until you learn that I can have the upper hand very much if I want in this relationship……………. and will" "For there is a little saying here that goes 'to fuck like a man' so if and when I eventually want sex from you Jared ill ask it and get it" Thankyou Samantha, sex and the city!! Jaz though looking at Jared's bewildered, scared look, this time they were playing by her rules
"And if you go near any other woman I will kick your ass right after their's, understood" She eyed him dangerously, and he frantically nodded "Oh and one last thing, I will be going out tonight…………. without you"
and with that Jaz pirouetted off the couch to get changed into something more couture/bohemian leaving Jared mouth open but a lil turned on and Jaz left the apartment to see Sarah.
Jared however was happy with her accepting him to prove himself, although a little sad she was leaving him alone tonight and worried it was a man she was going out too but looked around the lavish apartment familiarizing himself with above ground anyway.
"I can see what you mean now Jareth" He said to himself, thinking about how much Jasmine had adapted to this above ground culture of female.

'the meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two substances: If there is any reaction, both are transformed'
Carl Jung
Sarah right now was missing Jareth and feeling un-loved from a man who she had thought loved her to the ends of the earth. She knew she had been right when she had told Jareth how different they were from one another, that it wouldn't work out, if he had only listened………….
In a exotic floral, wrap skirt and tank top, she lay asleep under the moonlight dreaming of the previous nights events.
"Come Here" Jareth had beckoned her, she could see Lily's bitchy tactics making her jealous,
scene change: Lily and Jareth talking
"Have you talked to Sarah about it yet?"
"her moods go up and down……happy with me one minute…..angry at me the next…"
Sarah reveals herself, showing she overheard everything
"Don't do this here"
"Atleast Lily listens to me, you wont give me as bloody chance"
"…..there has been no other woman …..in my heart but you"
And suddenly a strange shimmer started to ripple through her body and Sarah vanished.
Meanwhile in the Castle beyond the Goblin City
Jareth lay on his bed asleep, in his grey tights and poets shirt, tossing and turning in his bed, wishing that Sarah would stop over-reacting, being naïve and basically driving him up the wall. Perhaps she had been right about each other, two different people, how could they have gotten along?
His dream started up of the previous nights events.
'I CANT DO THIS JARETH' Sarah mouthed to him at the ball her hand flying up and she ran out
Scene change: In the garden after Sarah overhead the conversation with Jareth and Lily
"Let me GO"
"Don't do WHAT?YOU are the one confiding in that bitch behind my back, this whole friggen time"
Then the image of a broken Sarah on the ground back home
All of a sudden as moon beams enclosed all over Jareths body, the same shimmer that had appeared around Sarah, was now appearing on Jareth and like that he vanished, re-appearing as Sarah, in his clothes, grey tights etc
Back at Sarah's Apartment
Sarah had vanished, re-appearing as Jareth, in Sarah's clothes she had been previously wearing, floral skirt etc.
Both stirred not realizing just yet the transformation that just taken place
