Chapter 3: Candy Confections

Sarah made her way through crowded Main Street U.S.A. Cinderella's Castle was in her sight but she fully intended to head left in the direction of Adventureland. There weren't many rides in Adventureland; the Swiss Family Tree House, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Jungle Cruise, but this was an entirely new experience for Jareth. Besides, she hadn't been to Disney World herself in many years and she fully intended to drag the Goblin King along through all of the attractions.

They were halfway up Main Street when Jareth abruptly stopped causing Sarah and several other guests to move quickly to either side to avoid running into him. He lifted his head towards the sky sniffing the air. "What is that smell?" he asked, his voice sounded detached as if he were thinking a little too hard on the smells surrounding him.

Sarah glanced around. There were many different smells along Main Street; popcorn, pretzels, flowers, body odors. "What smell?" She asked trying to get him to be more specific.

"That sugary smell," he replied with a look of sheer glee on his face.

"Oh, um, probably cotton candy," she told him as she glanced around looking for the source of the smell.

"Can you eat this candy cotton?" Jareth asked looking at Sarah intently. He took another deep breath and a shudder ran through his body.

"Cotton candy and yes, you can eat it. All it is is spun sugar," Sarah told him motioning to a cart that had bags full of pink and blue cotton candy.

Jareth glanced back at Sarah, "I want some," he said brusquely before heading across the street running into people until he stood in front of the cashier. She greeted him earnestly. He turned back towards Sarah impatiently, "come on, Sarah, I need money." He turned back towards the cashier. "How much for this spun sugar?"

"The cotton candy is $3.25, sir," the cashier said in a chipper voice.

Sarah handed the cashier a $5 and waited patiently for her change. Jareth grabbed the bag of cotton candy and ripped it open taking a bite off the top of the fluff. Sarah giggled as she pocketed her change and pushed him away from the cart sending an apologetic look to the man standing behind them.

"That's not how you're supposed to eat that, Jareth," Sarah laughed watching as Jareth continued taking bites. He now had pink sugar around the corner of his mouth. He paused in his assault of the confectionary treat and took a moment to wipe the sugar from his mouth.

"And pray tell, how am I supposed to eat this delightful treat, precious?" Jareth asked with a quirked eyebrow.

"You rip it off, piece by piece. Like this," she told him as she ripped a blue piece off from underneath. Jareth looked offended as he pulled the cotton candy away from her. She laughed at him again. He looked nothing like the scary Goblin King and every bit like a toddler who had their favorite toy taken from them.

"You like it that much?" Sarah asked with glistening eyes as she continued to laugh at him.

"The Fae have a strong addiction to sugar. This may be the most delightful thing I've ever eat. We'll need to buy more soon," Jareth said as they crossed the bridge into Adventureland. He was almost finished with his cotton candy and his heart sank at the thought of finishing it.

"Too much sugar is bad for you. Besides, we're not spending all of our money on cotton candy. I want to buy souvenirs. Maybe if you're a good boy, I'll buy you another bag before we leave," Sarah teased.

"Sarah, don't defy me," Jareth replied as he licked his fingers clean relishing in the final traces of sugar, glaring at the woman who held all their money. Damn it, he should have taken up her offer on how to count human money then he could have bought his own.

As Sarah walked beside him, she started reaching for his hand but then remember he'd just licked it clean like an overgrown cat. She opted for walking closely beside him, watching his facial expressions as he took in the scenery around him. He didn't seem impressed, probably reminded him too much of the Underground. Oh, well. One thing was certain though; the plan for stopping at the sweets store was a definite no-no. Dragging a sugar crazed immortal into a store full of fudge and lollipops probably wasn't a good idea.

Well, that's the end of this chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. I was at the Magic Kingdom today then went to Epcot to see the Village People. Being in the parks seems to spark my creativity for this story! Little trivia for you…When you walk into Main Street USA, the smell of cotton candy and popcorn is very strong. The reason is because the smell is pumped through filters in the park to add to the ambience of being in an old town fair.
