Chapter 4

JJ walked down the hall towards Leanna's room with a crystal ball in his hand. He wasn't supposed to be teaching Leanna until tomorrow, but JJ had to show her how to do this one thing. He knew she could find some uses for dream-making.

JJ knocked on her door and her heard a voice say, "Come on in." JJ went inside

JJ caught his breath as he saw the girl in the room. Up until now, JJ had only seen her with a bag over her head; he hadn't been able to see her face. Now that he saw her, she took his breath away. She had long dark red hair. Her features were nigh on flawless. Of course, it could've been JJ looking at her that way, he wasn't really sure. And her eyes... Those shocking blue eyes, when she looked at him, pierced his dark green ones and seemed to see right through her.

"Damn.", JJ said breathlessly, "You really are Jareth's daughter." And she smiled. JJ liked her smile.

"Yes.", Leanna replied, still grinning, "I am an unfortunate side effect of young love."

"No, unfortunate isn't the word I would use."

Leanna raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And what word would you use?"

"I would say... lovely." JJ knew, however, that lovely didn't even begin to cover it.

Leanna made a face of mock disgust. "Damn. And I was trying my very best to look out of place and ugly."

"Out of place? Perhaps some places. Ugly? Impossible."

"Jareth Junior, are you flirting with me?"

"Umm, I don't know. I've been down here for three years, so I haven't flirted in a while."

"Well, I've never flirted, so I wouldn't know."

"Now, how can a lovely girl such as yourself not have ever flirted?"

"There's never been anyone that I particularly liked. Or who liked me, as a matter of fact. Not that I gave them much of a chance."

"Well, perhaps you should give people more of a chance."

"And why should I?"

"Because you might as well give me one, since you're going to be stuck with me for the next few years. It does take a while for you to get that power of yours completely under control."

Leanna cursed. "Damned idiotic mother. Went and fell in love with a stupid, egotistical, magical, hopeless romantic king!"

JJ observed her carefully. He decided not to tick her off too much. "Leanna, if they were meant to be together, you can't stop that."

"I know that! But that's what I'm afraid of."

"Ah. You don't want to be stuck with a stupid, egotistical, magical, hopeless romantic king as your father, right?"

"Right, although it appears it's too late." Leanna shook her head. "Anyway, what did you want?"

He held out the crystal. "I want to teach you something that Jareth would never let me teach you."

Leanna grinned. "Oooh, displeasing the old man, I like it already. Come on. Details, details."

JJ grinned too. "It's called dream-making. As long as there is a crystal near the person you want to make a dream for, while they're sleeping, you can send them a dream."

"You mean like Jareth did for my mom? He said he sang to my mother once in a dream, and that he's been doing it ever since."

JJ's crooked grin turned into a smile. "He really does love her. Anyway, yeah it's like that."

"I could send any dream?"

"Yup. Anything you want, as long as it's clear in your mind and you really want it. And I mean, you really have to want it."

"Awesome. I can dream-torture Pops."

JJ looked at her. "You know, I've done so many things, but I haven't tried that one yet. But I'll let you try it first. He won't kill you."

Leanna nodded. "Sounds good.", she said.

"Ok, then.", JJ started, "First, there is going to have to be another crystal ball near the person you want to have the dream sent to. Second......" (A/N I had no idea how to explain how to do dream-making.)

The next day, Jareth and Jareth Junior taught Sarah the basics of magic. Everything pertaining to the mind or anything non-physical had to be controlled by a crystal, and everything else could be handled however the caster chose. Jareth said that he preferred crystals simply because it made him seem more powerful. Leanna reminded him that, no matter how many crystals he juggled, his power would always be inferior to hers. He said the crystal was for her mother. Leanna told him, what was he gonna do? Propose to her with it? Jareth said, no he wasn't, but that was a pretty good idea. Leanna glared at him and decided he was just being an idiot.

Most of the day was spent with Leanna learning how to conjure crystal balls and make them do what she wanted to. By the end of the day, Leanna could produce a solid crystal, make fire, harm (though Leanna still wasn't sure how it caused that awful pain in the your stomach and head), and she could summon things. Like when she accidentally summoned a large rock that hit Jareth in the back of his head. Not that it wasn't completely hilarious, but Leanna was not trying to get on her father's bad side. Truthfully, though being the stubborn idiot she was, she liked being here with her father. In the Aboveground, there were so many crimes and chances for somthing bad to happen. But here with her father, Leanna felt... safe. It was the only way to describe it. Safe.

Sarah and Toby had been up all night, arguing about how they were going to get to the Underground. Of course, it would make perfect sense, since it was her daughter and all, that Sarah should be the one to go. Not to mention, she had already wished her little brother down their once, and she didn't really want to do it again. Of course Toby had to argue. He wanted to be the one to go and bash Jareth's face in. Sarah assured him that she could bash his face in quite well. Of course, he knew she could, but he didn't really like the idea of her going.

In the end, at 6:00 in the morning, it was decided that Sarah would go, but they would wait a couple of days. Maybe, once Jareth was done with her and taught her everything she needed, he would send her back. So they would wait a week and see what happened. They both finally got some much needed sleep. Sarah, not wanting to go back to her room, crashed on the couch while Toby crashed on the floor.

I'm sorry it's kind of short, but there really isn't much to do right now until Leanna has mastered her dream-making. Then, I may a show a little more of my romantic side with a good Sarah/Jareth dream that Leanna does for them. How sweet!!! Anyway, next chapter... it might be the romantic dream thing... still not sure yet... We'll see.
