Chapter Sixteen
Parties and Homework
Author's note: This chapter is for NuPreacher, because he can smirk just as well as Jareth can. (And here I thought it was impossible)
"What are you doing?" Jareth asked, looking at Piper sitting in the library, papers spread all over the floor.
"Oh," she sighed "before Sarah left she gave me a stack of homework to show how sorry she was for attacking me with soap…" Jareth looked down at it, it was fairly easy but Piper seemed frustrated and tossed it back in her folder. "I need a break anyways…" They talked a little, but Jareth finally brought up the 'party' Piper was having. "Its not a party," she sighed "its just… me and Eeva, and maybe the guys… maybe some goblins. God knows they won't show though, Sonya won't let them."
"You'd be surprised," he smirked. She shot him a glance and he smiled at her, even wider this time.
"Did you do something?" she asked accusingly.
"ME!" he put his hand on his chest "of course not. Piper, how could you accuse me of such a thing?"
"Oh," she patted his hand "I'm so sorry. Why, how dare I accuse you." They fell silent for a moment. "Do you wanna come?"
"What?" he asked, a little shocked that she asked but glad never the less.
"Do you wanna come?" she asked again "I mean, just… hang around." He paused a moment.
"It'd put a damper on things," he said, trying to be realistic "I'm king, they'd be too worried about me hearing something I didn't need to be hearing or… something." She paused.
"Can you change into something else?" she asked and he gave her an odd look "I mean, besides an owl." He nodded. "Then why don't you come? They won't even know your you!"
"And who, pray tell, am I going to be?" he asked, eyeing her carefully.
"Just be a goblin," she shrugged "come up with a fake name and say you wanted to 'stop by' and introduce yourself." He shrugged.

Eeva had already gotten to Piper's room, with a bag full of gods know what. She tossed it on her bed and sat on the floor.
"So," she started but a knock came to the door.
"Hold that thought," she breathed happily and skipped to the door. She opened it a crack and saw Luther and Fred standing there with blankets and pillows piled high. "Finally!" Piper yelled and opened the door wider "look Eeva! Their finally moving out!" Eeva laughed and Piper let the two in.
"Your so funny," Fred muttered.
"I know," Piper beamed. "Eeva, what the hell did you bring?" she laid upside-down on her bed.
"Junk food from the kitchen," she started "three horror books, an Ojai board…"
"A what!" Freddy screeched.
This should make for an interesting night, Luther signed. Another knock came to the door and this time Freddy grabbed the door. Two goblins looked in, one was Boon, another one, they hadn't seen before.
"HEY!" Eeva called and Boon gave a sly smile.
"Who's the pip-squeak?" Fred asked in a dry tone and Eeva tossed a pillow at him. Eeva liked goblins, she said they were wonderfully charming creatures that got no respect.
"Jaden," Boon said and gave Piper a funny look. She smiled at him, Boon knew it was Jareth, he was helping though. She smirked.
"Well, Jaden," she said "your very welcome…"
Author's note: Happy (early) Valentines Day! Won't you be my Valentine? Well… almost all of you are girls so… I think that'd be a big N-O. - That's ok though, I'm going to write a lot this weekend and see if I can't maybe get Conner to come to the movies with me. AH! For those of you that have muses, and need a little help, here's some info. An Artist's Guide to Muses: http: Mardivey: I don't know either, that's why I put it I think. I wish I had snow lol.
Conner:hides behind Acantha: ok, I'm desperate. I'm being harassed by other writer's muses and my authoress isn't helping me. HIDE MEEEE!
Queen of the Damend- thank you. And your welcome for Nick, I'm sure he's got a lovely new home.
Theshadowcat: define… 'action' :giggles:
NuPreacher:smiles: Wow, a smirk that could rival Jareth's… I'm impressed, not many people can pull that off.
Conner: authoress :growls: get me outta here!
:sighs: but as wonderful as your smirk is, I must implore that you harass my muse less.
Conner: Oh yeah, ask NICELY, that's gonna get a lot done. Here I'll trade you, you get your muse off me and I'll give you my authoress.
:slugs Conner: Oh, REAL gentlemen like Conner. You can't go around, GIVING people away.
Conner: you do it to muses
Yeah but they need homes. I don't, there's a difference. And, FYI, I don't belong to anyone…
Conner: you belong to me. -

LadyAniviel:glares: ok, Jareth is apparently ticked off :looks down at ropes: so uh… while I try to cut myself out of these, review would you? Lol
