Ch 3
I heard the door open behind me and grinned inwardly. He has perfect timing. I turned around with my best apology face ad saw him looking at me with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm sorry for calling you G.K." I looked down at the floor. "So, I decided to teach your Goblins to count." His eyebrow went higher.
"Count?" He walked into the room and over to his throne. "This I've got to hear. I never thought they'd be able to learn something like that." I looked back up and smiled at him.
"Ready guys?" The Goblin's surrounding me nodded. I raised my hand as if it were a baton and brought it down. At that signal the Goblins started 'counting.'
"99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, take one down, pass it around. 98 bottle of beer on the wall. 98…" At first he looked amused but as the song went on he got annoyed. I slipped out the door as quietly as I could before he stopped them.
Jareth's POV
"I'm sorry for calling you G.K." Sorry? I doubt it although she does look the part. "So, I decided to teach your Goblins to count." I raised my eyebrow higher, wondering what brought this on.
"Count?" I walked over to my throne and sat down on it lazily. What is this girl up to? "This I've got to hear. I never thought they'd be able to learn something like that." She beamed a brilliant smile at me, which didn't quite reach her eyes.
"Ready guys?" The goblins nodded in affirmation and she raised her hand. Guess she got them to start together too.
"99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer," Ah, she taught them with a song, how… wait 99? "Take one down, pass it around." She was up to something that wretched girl. "98 bottle of beer on the wall. 98…" Oh great, this is going to go on forever if I don't shut hem up. "97 bottles of beer." I paced my fingertips on my head trying to stave off the headache my subjects were inflicting on me. Only one thing left to do.
"Shut up! Never ever sing that song in my presence again!" I yelled and they instantly quieted. Counting my bloody arse. I quickly scanned my eyes around and saw she had disappeared. "Damn her to the Bog!" I stormed out of the throne room in search of the thorn in my side.
