Chapter Twelve
Surprise
"Uh," Sam paused when Conner pulled away "when I said do something… I didn't mean this." Conner smiled sheepishly and both Sarah and Jareth looked at them. Sam flushed and didn't know what to do.
"Maybe I should send you all home now," Jareth muttered and they all looked at him, with the exception of Sam.
"Home?" Sarah said quietly "you'll send us home?"
"Well," he gave a sly smirk "one condition."
"What would that be?" Conner mused.
"Her," Jareth pointed at Sam "she has to kiss you." Sam looked up, her face reddened more.
"Sorry," she started down the hall "we're gonna be stuck her forever…"
"SAM!" Sarah growled and grabbed her arm.
"I'm not kissing my muse!" Sam growled in a low tone so Conner and Jareth couldn't hear.
"Sam I WANT to go home," she snapped.
"Well its not my fault you're here," she breathed "I'm not the one that called you."
"Ok, look," Sarah pleaded "kiss Conner and…"
"You kiss Jareth," Sam smirked.
"NO!" Sarah protested.
"You want to go home?" Sam asked.
"Sam you can't make me," Sarah paused and lowered her voice "you can't. That's … that's Jareth of all people."
"And you don't think I'm freaked out that my muse is kissing me?" Sam breathed "I mean… he's my muse! I'm stuck with him for the rest of my life. If he LIKES me like that…"
"Sam…" Sarah growled.
"No way," she crossed her arms.
"Can we have some alternate choice?" Sarah asked and Jareth seemed to think about it a moment.
"You kiss me," he said and Sarah stamped her foot.
"Kiss him Sam," she snapped.
"No," she growled "you kiss Jareth."
"This sure is interesting," Jareth mused and Conner nodded.
"Alright wait," Sam paused a moment "I'll kiss Conner if you kiss Jareth. Then we'll go home and have a sleepover and talk about how terrible it all was, deal?" Sarah smirked at the thought of having just her and Sam laughing the whole situation.
"Alright," she sighed "how do I do this? Just walk up and…?"
"Hey," Sam paused "he never specified where you had to kiss them." Sarah nodded and they both walked back to the two men standing awkwardly. They both started out to kiss the boys on the cheek, but alas, like everything else they'd experienced that day… they'd been set up. Both Jareth and Conner moved so that it wasn't their cheek that was getting kissed, but their lips. Sam tried to pull away but something, perhaps magick, kept her lips from leaving his mouth. Finally, when the two were 'released' they looked at each other.
"Set up," Sarah growled and Sam nodded.
"I say we don't talk to them," Sam suggested.
"Me too," Sarah agreed and they both walked down the hall.
"That could've gone better," Jareth mused.
"A lot better," Conner sighed "I'll talk to Sarah?" Jareth shrugged.
"Doesn't seem as if it'll do a lot of good now," he sighed "their both mad."
"Maybe we shouldn't have…" Conner paused.
"Tricked them?" Jareth offered and Conner nodded. "What do you think we're supposed to do, settle for a peck on the cheek?" Conner shrugged.
"Maybe if we…?" he offered.
"No," Jareth growled "I'm not apologizing for something she obviously liked. If she can't admit she loves me… I'll… I'll…" Jareth trailed off.
"What are we supposed to do?" Conner murmured.
"Anything we do will only make them madder," Jareth sighed "I should just-"
"Kiss her again Jareth," Conner said.
"What!" Jareth smirked, this muse was insane "she'll kill me."
"No," Conner almost laughed "kiss her again. Tell her you lov-"
"NO." Jareth's eyes narrowed "I'm not saying it again. She KNOWS "
"She might think you're lying," he suggested.
"What's Sam's excuse?" Jareth said rolling his eyes.
"She's afraid."
Author's note: TA DA! I don't know, something makes me want to torture Sam. Maybe its because Conner is always bugging me.
Conner; I am not!
Anyways :rolls eyes: sorry the chapter was short, I'll update more later! Oh, and remember, I got some new muses available but EMAIL me for one. And Alexander has been adopted, as has Roger. I'll get around to changing it later.
