"Your highness! Bribl find information for plan. Fliget." Bribl stood there with a great sense of accomplishment but silent. This went on for a few seconds when finally Jareth couldn't take it any longer.
"Are you waiting for an invitation or an ass kicking? WHAT DID YOU FINED OUT?" Jareth grabbed Bribl by his collar and began to shake him.
"Bribl sorry, Bribl sorry! Bribl fined Sarah like make-believe, Sarah like chocolate, Sarah no like step mom, and Sarah most important still think of your highness! Fliget" with a title-wave of shock Jareth dropped Bribl, and sat back in his throne. Rubbing his forehead with uncertainty Jareth didn't quite believe what Bribl had just reported.
"Can this be true?" Jareth continued to ponder this most astounding news until finally he came to the conclusion that it might just have been possible. Maybe her heart was beginning to long for thier inevitable destiny. "It is time Bribl. I will need you to mind the palace and keep an eye on Sivit as I'm away."
"Sivit no like Bribl. Sivit look at Brible like snack. Fliget" Bribl said with nervousness in his voice.
"Stop whining and do as I say or I'll turn you into a prince!" Jareth said with a smirk. "You be good for uncle Bribl and try to keep an eye on him; he'll need it." Jareth said to Sivit as he petted his little head. Jareth began to walk towards the widow, raising his arms he transformed into a white owl and flew away. It took only a few seconds before Jareth reached Sarah's world. He perched himself of the tree outside of Sarah's house and took a few moments to gain his composure. After some time had passed Sarah was nowhere to be found. Jareth took advantage of the situation and transformed into the body of a 20 year old male. He still looked remarkably the same. "This ought to do the trick. Sarah will never know it is me. This should give me enough time to weave my magic and make Sarah mine." Standing in the middle of the sidewalk Jareth was making sure his clothes was nice and straight. He was wearing his usual attire, tan riding pants with knee high black leather boots, and a white ruffled tunic buckle up shirt. His hair was in its usual style, perfectly groomed. "Oh where can she be I've been waiting for fifteen minutes and no sign of her. Grr…how impertinent can one person be?"
"Well that's our Sarah!" A startled Jareth whipped around quickly and met the young man's eyes with a piercing stare. "Hey it's cool calm down." Bryan said with his hands at waist level.
"Who are you and why do you come near Sarah's home?" Jareth fumed.
"Well the funny thing is, I live next door and I'm pretty sure it's you who are a little out of place here." Bryan said while holding back a snicker.
"What do you mean by that?" Jareth said with a mixture of confusion and distrust.
"Well first of all I have never seen you around this area, and secondly your fashion sense died back in the early eighties, dude." By now Jareth's patience was wearing quite thin, and it was beginning to show.
"What is wrong with how I am dressed? It's you who looks as if you dressed in the dark of night."
"Hey calm down I didn't mean any harm by it ok? Are you new in the neighborhood or are you visiting someone?"
"Yes I um, I'm visiting Sarah but it, it a surprise."
"Oh really? Cool. So how do you know Sarah?"
"We are friends from long ago. She probably doesn't remember me though."
"Listen not to be rude but would you like some advice? First, get rid of the getup. And the mullet thing has got to go. I know of a great store to buy some clothes, I'll show you how we dress around here." Bryan extended his hand in friendship. Jareth stood for a moment and looked at his hand.
"Sounds like fun." He reciprocated the hand shake.
"Hey what is your name by the way?" Bryan asked.
"Friends call me Jar….. Jerry."
"Cool nice to meet you Jerry, my name is Bryan." Bryan and Jareth began walking and talking as if they had been friends for years. "I don't know what it is about you Jerry but I can really talk to you, its weird."
"You have no idea." Jareth said as he slapped Bryan on the back and let out a chuckle. They reached the clothing store and began to look around for something a little more practical for Jareth to wear. After browsing around the store Jareth had found the perfect disguise. He went in the back room and put on his new outfit, a pair of blue jeans, a pressed white t-shirt and a pair of puma shoes.
"Alright now you need a hair cut, and your lookin' normal."
"This is the most uncomfortable getup I have had the displeasure of wearing and how do they wear these shoes? I feel like a clown." Jareth said.
As Jareth began to walk out of the store the girl behind the counter yelled. "Hey! You gonna pay for that?" Jareth turned around stared into the girl's eyes and with-out saying a word she was entranced by Jareth. With no exchange of words Jareth then walked out of the store and the girl never thought about it twice.
"Dude how did you do that? It's like she was hypnotized by you or something."
Boy this kid states the obvious. Jareth thought. "It's magic, the world is filed with it. And so am I." Jareth said with a smile.
"Ha ha ha you're a riot man." Bryan didn't realize that the goblin king was being serious, and just took it as witty banter. As the day progressed Jareth took in all he could, how to walk and how to talk. If he was going to have enough time he was going to have to learn to be as inconspicuous as possible. His hair was cut and died brown and his clothes were all the fashion. Jareth was ready to meet Sarah for the first time as Jerry. Bryan and Jareth decided it was time to call it a day but not with out Jareth prying Sarah's whereabouts for the following day so that he could plan his chance meeting.
That night Jareth had to find a place to sleep so he chose the first place he thought of, Sarah's old oak tree in her front yard. He morphed into the white owl and perched himself in the highest branch overlooking her window. The night air was crisp and the stars were all out that night. As the night grew older all he could do was watch Sarah as she moved about her room, talking on the phone, reading her books and brushing her hair. With every move she made Jareth was entranced more and more by her. Jareth was growing impatient, he wanted her, and he wanted her so bad he could taste her.
Meanwhile back at the goblin kingdom Bribl had his hands full. "No bad Sivit Bribl no good Brible taste bad. Fliget." Bribl said as Sivit chased him around the main quarters, ducking under chairs and jumping over tables Sivit teased Bribl like a cat with a mouse. "You evil creature. Brible no like you! Fliget." Suddenly Sivit stopped, looking at Bribl. He tilted his head. "purrrrrr." Sivit lied on his stomach and rolled to his back, kicking gently with his legs, and wiggling his long floppy ears. "Huh? Why you stop? Bribl no trust evil fluffy demon." Sivit continued to purr and play on his back. "Maybe Bribl pet Sivit?" slowly Bribl moved toward Sivit with his stubby little hand extended. Suddenly Sivit sprang up and latched onto Bribl's head. "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH. FLIGET!" Bribl was barely able to muster it out. With his arms flailing wildly in the air Bribl kept trying to pry Sivit off but he had a good grip. Out of nowhere Sivit finally let's go and returns to his back and began purring. "Oh no Bribl no fall for your trick again. Bribl too smart. Fliget." Sivit continued to purr and kick his legs. "Sivit is cute. Maybe Sivit sorry and love Bribl? Fliget." Slowly Bribl walked over towards Sivit again. And yet again Sivit pounced on Bribl's head, but this time Sivit began to swing on Bribl's head. Attaching his tail to his head, Bribl ran around the room waiving his arms in the air while Sivit beat the top of Bribl's head like a drum. Then Sivit finally let go. Having his fun for the evening Sivit returned to his little perch high atop the ceiling but just before, he gave Bribl a quick purr and crawled up his leg to his head in a cork screw fashion. He licked Bribl's nose, then jumped from his forehead.

Hey sorry to bother you, but I just wanted to take this time to thank you all the readers for actually reading my story. I used to write a lot when I was in high school but not so much in the past 5 years. So thank you and I hope you enjoy the rest.
P.S. please write comments, positive, negative or indifferent, the more the better. And don't be afraid to add comments on the story I love new ideas and criticism, love, love, love it. And P.P.S. If you're a Sivit fan, good you should be! And to get a better idea of what he looks like do a Google on momo from avatar. They're not the same but they do bear a slight resemblance, plus Sivit is all white with green eyes and no wings. My wife pointed that out to me. I didn't intend it to happen. http/ you
