" Where do you want to go first?" Jareth asked as they waited at a traffic light.
" The Dublinia." Jamie answered automatically, staring about her at the other cars and the buildings on the side of the road. Jareth just smirked as the light changed driving forward, trying to find a parking spot.
" We'll leave the Jag here and walk the rest of the way." Jamie smiled, carefully opening her door and stepping onto the busy street. Rolling her eyes, she took Jareth's extended hand just before she stepped onto the sidewalk. They were outside the Dublinia and the Jag wasn't in sight.
" I really wish you'd warn me before doing that." Jamie muttered, looking at her new surroundings.
" You suffer no ill effects." Jareth answered, handing over currency at the door so they could enter.
" Not right now I don't. Wow." Jamie went through the entire exhibit, eyes wide as she read the information about Dublin's past. Jareth managed to keep his smirk in check until they entered the 'Life in Medieval Dublin' exhibit. Jamie's eyes lit up at the clothes they wore. She was about to jump into the atmosphere at the idea that she could try on replicas of the rich robes.
" What do you think?" She asked, twirling as she stepped out from the dressing room. Jareth cocked his head, smiling at the dress.
" If you wanted to I could give you a closet full of dresses like that." He answered. Jamie rolled her eyes.
" And where would I wear them?"
" Around my castle?" He suggested innocently. Jamie heaved an annoyed sigh and disappeared back into the dressing room to change back into her normal clothes. " What?" He called, chuckling to himself as his eyes swept around the room. His mismatched orbs landed on a group of teen girls, around Jamie's age, giggling and staring at him. Jareth smiled, revealing his canines as the boldest of the group walked up to him.
" Jareth?" Jamie asked, stepping back into view, normally dressed again. She halted when she saw Jareth flirting with the blonde. Closing her eyes against the sight she opened them again and moved to slip quietly out of the room.
" Going somewhere Jamie?" Jareth asked, a gloved hand closing on her upper arm.
" Thought I'd give you some room."
" Why would you need to do that?" He questioned, turning Jamie to him.
" Figured you could use some if you wanted to make a move on that floozy. Good luck, she looks legal. Then again I'm not sure what is legal here in Dublin. Have fun." Jamie smiled up at him, pulling her arm from his fingers and moving to finish the tour of the building.

A/N: Sorry this took so long. I had no motivation for anything except new stories lately. Well, they're still in Dublin, will be for a couple of chapters at least. So, Jareth picked up another admirer… he must have tons… Also, the Dublinia is a heritage center in Dublin. I don't know if it costs money to enter but it makes sense, doesn't it?
AK14, would you prefer a celery stick? Charlie's Mum, no I'm not writing from experience, thankfully. To everyone else (Draegon-Keeper, Krystal, Irene, Catherine Coe) here's a cookie.
Cheers.
