immortalwizardpirateelf-fan I am glad you like it, thank for reviewing and stay faithful! I am trying to post one chapter or two every day, but I am going to be slowing to exactly one right now because I am a newbie at writing battle scenes, and am kind of struggling with it. We are looking at about a fifty chapter story or so.
Morrigana – Thank you for the great praise and encouragement! And I think I will take your advice. I tend to listen to 80's music when I write, so maybe some rock and roll would help!
FinalFantasyGirl – Thanks for trying! Keep on reading!
BobMcBobbob1 – I love your name. Thanks for being a faithful reader!
Stay patient and keep those reviews coming!
Chapter 23 –or- The Morning Of
Sarah awoke when Agee pulled back the curtains on her bed. Agee moved to the French doors, opening them and letting the soft breeze waft through the room. Sarah smelled sausage, eggs, and toast. And coffee. There was definitely coffee somewhere in her room. Sarah swung her legs over the side of the bed. That was the last night she would spend in these chambers. She smiled at the thought of cuddling up to Jareth every night. She doubted she would sleep much tonight though. Not that she cared. She pulled on her robe and went to sit down and tuck into a very large breakfast. She was just spreading jam onto her toast when there was a knock at her door. Agee went to answer it.
"Your Majesty, His Highness would like to come in," Agee told her.
"Let him in, Agee," Sarah told her maid. Agee opened the door and let Toby in.
"Hey, Sarah," Toby said as he sat down.
"Have you had breakfast?" Sarah asked him. Toby nodded.
Toby had improved since he had come to the Underground. He was sad sometimes, and Sarah knew how he felt. She had felt the same way when her Dad had passed. She also knew it would get better with time. But Toby looked on Jareth and Aaron as brothers, and he was so close with them both. He had time to play and be a kid, and not have to deal with people dying. And he was doing well on his studies. The tutor he had was very good. In time Toby would acclimate completely.
"I'll go take my bath soon. Don't want to screw up your day," Toby smiled.
"Do you like your clothes for today?" Sarah asked him, "I designed them myself"
"Yeah, they look just like Jareth's!" he exclaimed.
"Oh, dear. They were supposed to look like mine," Sarah made a sorrowful face.
Her brother gave her a horrified look, but then realized she was joking. With a huff, Toby began to stare out the window for a bit while she ate.
"What's wrong, Toby?" Sarah finally asked him.
"You are not going to kick me out once you guys start having babies, are you?" Toby asked her. Sarah laughed.
"I would not dream of it. You're a Prince of the Underground and my baby brother. I love you," Sarah told him. Toby hugged her.
"I have to go take that bath now," Toby sighed. Sarah laughed at him as he left.
Agee brought in Aaron not long after that. He had already been bathed. He was pink and soft. Sarah loved to smell his skin. One day she would have her own children, but that would not change Aaron's place in her heart. He could not come to the ceremony since he was not a royal, but Agee would take care of him. He liked Agee. Aaron sat on a blanket and played with the assorted toys Sarah had conjured for him. She drank more cups of coffee than usual. She transformed herself into her regular court dress and took Aaron to go find the other ladies of the court.
The ladies were in the garden, at the gazebo. Princesses Cara and Malene cooed when they saw Aaron and took him from Sarah to go play. Aaron loved the girls. Sarah sat amongst the ladies while they talked. Sarah was the youngest Queen and therefore usually kept her mouth shut.
"Sarah, why are you not in your room getting ready?" Carys asked her.
Sarah laughed and transformed herself into her wedding costume. Then she transformed back into her regular court dress. Carys laughed.
"I will go in soon and take a long, hot bath. Hopefully no dwarves try to drown me this time," Sarah laughed it off. It was going to be a long day.
I know this was kinda short, and I apologize, I assure you I do this kinda thing for a reason. Next update tomorrow!
