After an hour of still chasing that darn goblin, Sarah finally found ZooBee.
"You know, you are a really bloody hard goblin to find" Sarah immediately spat out as soon as she saw the blue haired, punky looking goblin named ZooBee.
"And you" pointing at that pierced goblin next to her "have to stop running so fast" She panted, she still hadn't even found out its name.
"What is your name by the way, I haven't had a chance to breathe let alone ask you"
"Its Zappy sire" Zappy, that sounds about right she thought. (AN:David Bowie in real life owns a 'Zappy' –look it up on google)
She was lead, by Zappy, into yet another dimly lit, looking oubliette and immediately saw the blue haired goblin mixing up some magical concoction she had gathered.
"Sire, is anything the matter" ZooBee inquired, it wasn't like his majesty to be so, 'disorientated', then again Jareth was being his usual snappy self...
Sarah could straight off tell that this goblin was a lot smarter than most of the others so watched her words wisely.
"Oh yes, I need to know…" Sarah turned her head a bit examining a nice spot on the floor.
Shit I cant just straight off ask what am I to do today, it's a dead give away im not ..him
"I need to know where my, um, where my …..diary is" Sarah figured Jareth must have a diary or something that tells him his duties
"Sire, diary?"
Shit shit shit
"Jareth doesn't have a diary?" She said out loud, getting two strange glances her way.
She cleared her throat awkwardly.
"Oh what I mean is, I don't have a diary? I should get one…"
The two goblins still kept quiet, silently looking strangely at each other.
Sarah figured they were either confused with what a diary actually was, or thinking what kind of peaches their king was experimenting with today.
Either way she wasn't getting anywhere fast with this.
"Ok then, well where is my, study…office….where I write…..stuff" Write stuff? Im supposed to have an IQ higher than a bloody goblin
The blue haired goblin now spoke up finally.
"Er yes Sire, your study is this way if you will follow me.."
At bloody last Sarah thought, she hated awkward situations, whether it was with goblins or not.
……………………………………………………………………………
Man I could kill Jareth,
Sarah thought to herself as she was led by now a slower paced goblin
I thought he said this goblin would help me, not just lead me to another room I could have gotten to with that other pierced whack job goblin.
"Sire is anything troubling you" The goblin had stopped observing the kings face.
"Are you worried about the ball tomorrow night?" What another ball in 2 days…
"Um yeah" Ball, what bloody ball
The goblin looked at her strangely this time. "The Ball sire"
What is with people, sorry fae and goblin kind, down here, I feel like I've been up to my ass in balls lately…ok bad analogy.
It was true though, Sarah had been to about 20 balls in the Underground this month alone with Jareth whilst they were together. They weren't all hosted by him, many were in different parts of the Underground, and with any luck, after the Valentines day ball, in which Jareth hosted, he wouldn't be made to do another one tomorrow.
"So where is this ball"
"Here sire
"WHAT!"
Sarah hadn't the faintest how to start a ball, or arrange one or whatever. Just because she went to many didn't mean she could run the show straight off the hat. And Jareth never actually went through those details with her.
"It is for the Lady Lily's parent's, Duke and Duchess of the Ruby Realm, they are in town, as promised last season" The goblin immediately replied to Sarah who was now holding onto the wall next to her for support.
Sarah couldn't believe it, Lily was bad enough, but her parents were worse. Sarah had met them once, and knew their kind straight away. They wanted Lily to marry for money, marry for status, Marry Jareth.
And for that reason alone, Sarah didn't like them, or Lily, one bit.
…………………………………………………………………………………………..
"If its ok may I have a 'lyric' sheet?" Jareth asked Jasmine as if it were a new word in the English language. Yet again, he copped another strange glance from Jasmine.
"Sarah you know these words off by heart, you wrote them after all" The dark-haired girl sitting opposite her answered awkwardly.
Sarah wrote her music? Jareth couldn't help but think. The words she always sang were amazing, and he felt meant something about him, but he never was told by her when they were together, she actually wrote them herself.
Not only that but Jareh was starting to see Sarah was quite a powerful woman on earth.
Smart and wanted.
When they had arrived at the studio, Sarah's room was full of flowers, gifts small and large from fans and adoration letters. There were a few from females, but mostly males which had then angered Jareth's jealousy beyond meaning.
Shaken back to reality on his pedal stool, he quickly looked up to who wanted his attention.
Ah Jasmine, and holding a sheet, lyrics I'm guessing.
"Alright, well here, but I still don't get why you need them Sarah……" The brunette shuved the sheet into Jareth's hands.
"Oh it's just Im not really feeling…." Jareth raised a hand to his head, the not-feeling-well line might save him from that dreaded 'scene' he was to do next…
"Oh your not getting out of that one" Jasmine whispered to Sarah, seeing David was talking to Ben, the music co-ordinater in a next room over, visible by a glass wall separating them. That and Sarah had been hinting all morning how she wasn't feeling well, how Jasmine may have to postpone this vid-clip shooting to another day.
"You have no idea how many females would wanna be in your shoes right now hun" Jaz laughed stepping back allowing Sarah to now read over the lyrics before jumping into the song.
Shooting a weary glance at David, who was still occupied talking to Ben, Jareth looked back at Jasmine who seemed to be heading through that door that led to David and Ben.
"Well why aren't you one of those females?" He mouthed at her "Wanna swap shoes, you know I can't stand these" Jaz just shook her head, leaving through the door to the composing room, leaving Jareth be, to start the song.
Suddenly out of nowhere a loudspeaker sounded in the room Jareth was in. Ben's voice came out.
"Ok Sarah darling, ready to start?" He asked her, flipping different switches on a sort of switchboard.
Jareth looked over the lyrics he had just been given, then back up at Jasmine demonstrating to put the pair of headphones on next to him through the glass.
David and a few other people he didn't know were also staring intently at him now as well.
The king was used to public speaking etc, but this was different, he was going to have to sing, and music he didn't know in front of complete strangers. Oh and the fact he was now a woman didn't help.
"Er yes I guess" He said, now shakily.
For once in Jareth's life, he was nervous.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Time was starting to get on now as Sarah was led to her study she figured.
Finally ZooBee stopped infront of a large forest green door.
"Here we are sire, all your documents for ball preparation have been provided by myself earlier" The blue haired goblin bowed and left her alone.
Well that's a start, Sarah thought to herself as she let herself into Jareths study.
She suddenly glared up at his dominating self-portrait above his large mahogany desk, stacked with ball papers, and rsvp's.
Asshole, having a ball when he broke up with me, well ok, technically I broke up with him…but still!
She felt like smashing his portrait over Lily's head for a second then shook her head.
After that whole interlude with Lily, Sarah had actually pitied Jareth somewhat. Just because she was a royal courtier, having to put up with that all day long would drive anyone up the wall.
Then again, she wasn't the one hosting some party for David's parents just because they came to town.
How would Jareth feel then?
Sarah glared at Jareths portrait again. "Asshole, I hope get your just desserts"
Then she grinned, walking over to the ball preparation sheets. Music suggestions to be exact.
"Perhaps it won't be that bad….."
……………………………………………………………………………………….
Well, Jareth was getting his just desserts alright. Or nearly throwing them up atleast.
He was sweating with large headphones over his ears, nervous still as it had already been 3 hours of re-recording things over and over that he had screwed up.
"You've got the notes all wrong Sarah…..its like this" Jaz attempted to sing
We were together, I was blown away
Just like paper from a fan
But you would act like I was just a kid
Like we were never gonna last
But now I've got someone who cares for me
yeah
He wrote my name in silver sands
I think you know you've lost the love of your life
And you say, "I was the best you ever had"
Because I'm in demand………..
Jasmine didn't have too bad a voice, and she had gotten the notes correctly unlike Jareth. But it wasn't Jasmine's voice he was concentrating on now. It was those words,
As if she read Jareth's mind, Jasmine turned to him.
"So what's the deal with you and him now?"
"Who….Jareth?"
"Yeah, sorry about storming out on you last night, but you know, he really hurt you, hence……well this song" Jaz said looking down.
Jareth went quiet.
"This song?"
Looking up again, she frowned.
"Yeah, I gathered you wrote this in mind of him, like you did most of your lyrics"
"I…I told you this?" Jareth stuttered
Jasmine looked over to David and Ben who seemed to be chatting again, so pulled a smaller stool to sit next to Jareth.
"You know you told me this hun, he's been your inspiration to write music since, well since I met you"
"Oh" Was all Jareth could say.
"So…. who is the 'someone who cares for me" Jaz asked out of curiosity
"...if not Jareth"
Jareth started to scowl again at that seeming he himself did not know, nor wasn't sure wanted to.
"No one important anymore that's for sure" He said leaving Jaz with a confused look on her face, and glanced over at the beautiful blonde man laughing at some absurd comment and glared at him.
Sarah obviously wasn't the innocent, always faithful woman he thought she was. She must have broke up with him to be with that mortal, well she couldn't have him now and given the situation, wouldn't over Jareth's dead body.
With that Jareth smirked, leaving one last dagger behind David's back and resumed practicing his lines again with Jasmine.
…………………………………………………………………………………………..
"Songs, songs songs" Sarah said outloud.
Seeming she was in charge of all unfortunate arrangements, she was going to try to have a bit of fun. Well as much fun as she could, seeming Jareth himself was going to have to show up as she had found out she would be getting bombarded with political questions that could very well make or break a war.
But hopefully she could torture most of her guests a bit as an added bonus. She smirked to herself.
Not all of her guests.
She had already sent out invitations, or atleast ZooBee had, but he had conveniently left out her friends Hoggle, Ludo and Sir Didymus, so she fixed that one up instantanously.
Jareth of course would be seething, but once tomorrow night had came he wouldn't be able to do anything.
Fae could be so pompous and stuck up, never inviting creatures from the Underground other than the occasional elf royalty. They were stuck up enough about mortals Sarah always thought, why they own creatures. She had often argued with Jareth about why her friends in particular, could never attend functions but did he ever listen, no.
It was always, 'No dear, they are not of royal blood, or they are not Fae' and when she questioned Jareth why she could attend, even though she knew mortals, although looked-down on, often had engaged fae from the Underground.
His answers however were always 'Because you are mine' then he would smirk…sexily…but that wasn't the point, he was a jerk. She thought that he had a heart be-friending her friends, yet excluded them with royalty around.
It majorly sucked.
Well whilst she was in charge and him, that was not gonna happen. She loved her friends, and right now needed them more than anything although they didn't know she was here, as him.
A piece of parchment lay in her hands as of now reading 'Opening Music-Ballroom' and next to it, her delicate fingers surrounding a silver pen. This was not going to be some 'set up marriage' ball in any way what-so-ever by Lily's parents, because she would 1. Not be married over her dead body to that bitch Lily whilst stuck as Jareth and 2. She was insanely jealous at the fact she, as Jareth, was meeting that cows parents when Jareth never met hers.
Especially when Lily's parents had a double meaning for tomorrow nights ball. A romantic marriage-set up. So Sarah was going to make it as un-romantic as she could. The fact Jareth couldn't do anything about this made her want to laugh out loud but she kept quiet.
And anyway, to un-romantisize this party plan, we all know how music controls any ball/party/ho-down
"That's it" She smiled and started writing a song on the already long list of songs both from famous friends and just her favorites.
Kelis-Trick Me
"One for Jareth" She laughed maniacally and got back to finishing her list humming 'might trick me once, won't let you trick me twice'
This was definitely gonna be a 'ball' to remember. Or at least she hoped if she were still around after Jareths wrath.
……………………………………………………………………………………………..
"Ok, now this is an artificial shoreline as you can clearly see" The gay 20 something choreographer pointed out the 'wave machine' at the end of a fake scenery board opposite the trio.
It was like some tropo porno set, although Jareth himself was not familiar with the idea of Porn as Underground was somewhat stuck in the 1800's. Set up like a small/half dive pool as the shore, and sand scattered along the ground, and of course the fake palm trees, it looked quite dense. But what was to occur on it made Jareth physically sick. David looked the complete opposite, which in turn made Jareth even more sicker.
"but just roll around, pretending its real" The man winked at Jareth and David with a cheeky smirk. "Everything will be digitally edited so it looks like the real thing"
Jareth looked down at his barely visible, beige/skin tone colored bikini, obviously intending to make him look naked although he felt pretty naked as it was, and then looked over at David………. who was basically in his birthday suit,
That's right, full blown naked.
Jareth cringed inwardly and couldn't help let it slip on his face, at which David looked at the woman strangely. Usually woman went mental over his nakedness, but he shrugged it off anyway.
As the choreographer started to walk away Jareth grabbed him harshly by the arm.
"Do I have to have his 'thing' on me" Jareth harshly whispered into the gay choreographers ear.
The man looked Jareth up and down strangely.
"You most certainly do" He squeeked "And might I add, I told you to loose the top young lady"
"WHAT" Oh whats that term above grounders used "This SUX" All this for a bloody song, mortals were so strange.
"You heard me, I don't see why you are so anal about this, your 'breasts' wont be shown in the clip, but its gotta look real enough, or there is no use doing this is there?"
"Its not fair thou…..!" Jareth slammed his hand on his mouth as soon as he said 'said' quote, where the hell did that come from.
"Well none of this is fair" He reasoned more to himself then to the man looking strangely at him. The whole bloody situation was NOT fair, a king should not be subjected to this sort of in decency and he would be sure to have his words with Sarah tonight.
Even though, deep down inside he knew Sarah should not be subjected to doing this, he couldn't help but feel as if another man was having what was rightfully his, despite their current situation and so called-non existent relationship.
"It is fair, very fair infact, your not full blown naked like David, you get to wear your bikini bottom"
"Hmph" Like that is really rationalizing things.
"And it isn't like you haven't gone naked before Sarah….." Jareth instantly got flashbacks from first seeing Sarah in her so called 'video clip' and shuddered both at the fact he was going to have to 're-inact' that with you know who, jealousy rearing its ugly head.
But it wasn't like he had any choice in the matter, it was either him doing this or Sarah, and a part of him felt better that Sarah wouldn't have to. It may have been selfish but that made him feel better the fact she wouldn't be getting close to David at all.
"Fine, lets get it on with then" He said be-grudgingly, yet completely business like, unclasping his top with a cringed face.
Fin.
