Change For The Better

Chapter 5

Andy

"So this makes it louder?"

Andy and Jareth were sitting in front of the CD player. She was teaching him how to use it. She deemed it very difficult, he wanted to take it apart and figure out how it works. She wanted to be able to listen to music and not have it blow up, you can see the problem.

"No, this one turns it up, that wasn't even a button."

He smiled sheepishly at her.

"Oh." She grinned.

"Can't I just open it up and see what's inside? It's so much easier that way."

"No!" She said for the millionth time.

He growled lowly in his throat. Andy took a bite of pizza. Jareth sighed and laid back on the grass.

"Why did we make Picca?"

"Pizza." She corrected him.

"Whatever." She shrugged.

"I know cooking makes me feel better, especially cooking with someone."

"So do you like cooking with me?" She looked at him funny, he just smiled.

"Sure, Jarry." She reached over and ruffled his blonde locks. He scowled. He swatted her hand away.

"Don't call me that."

"What ever you say Jaaarrrrrrryyyyyyy!" She giggled.

"Shut up, Andrew."

She slapped a hand over her heart in mock hurt.

"That hurts, Jarry, that really hurts." He chuckled. She sucked in a breath at the sound. It was so deep and lusious.

"So, let's see what I know about you so far."

He pondered looking up at the stars. She watched him, she found her self blushing, at his outfit. His usual stirups, and a black dress shirt that showed most of his well toned chest. She began to suck on her lipring.

"Your favorite color is blue, You don't have a growth all over your ears, you are friendly to goblins, you are very pushy, and you like to cook." He smiled up at her.

"Okay, two can play at that game. What do I know about you? You have a black hole for a room, your favorite color is green, you really really need to clean your throne room-"

"Hey! I resent that! My throne room is perfectly fine, thank you very much!"

Andy rolled her eyes and scoffed.

"As if. Your throne room looks like a pig lives in there!" Jareth's eyes went wide and he looked up at her.

"Does not! And besides we ate Mr. Porkers last summer!" She rolled her eyes and sighed.

"You are also ridiculously stubborn," She began with her list again. She pointed a finger at him. "Next time I ask you what's wrong I expect you to tell me!"

Jareth lifted himself up on to his elbows to look at her.

"Yeah, about that, I wanted to apoligize, for what I said, You were right, I didn't know what I was saying, I was just speaking anger."

"Apology excepted." Andy felt her insides get all fuzzy at his apology.

She leaned down and quickly pecked him on the cheek, stole his pizza and bolted for the nearest door.

"Goodnight, Jarry!" She called over her shoulder.

He was too utterly happy to answer her.

Andy smiled to herself. She closed her bedroom door and locked it. She began pulling off her skirt and changed into a pair of blue footie pajamas. (A/N: YAY FOOTIE PAJAMAS!)

She quickly finished her blue pizza and sat on top of her made bed. She pulled The Labyrinth out from under a pillow to go over the Jareth parts. He was potrayed alot differently in the book, like some truly evil man. But he was...sweet.

She slid the book back under her pillow and blew out the candle on her nightstand.

She slid farther down the covers and fell into a blissful sleep.

The next morning Andy woke up to Rudsuck, tapping her lightly on the head. She groaned and yawned widely.

"What is it Rudsuck?" The goblin smiled cheekily showing rotting teeth.

"His Highness is out for the day and Rudsuck thought he should keep Miss Williams company." Andy yawned again.

"That's very kind of you Rudsuck, but I would like a little privacy to get ready for the day, okay?" Rudsuck frowned but was quickly replaced with a wide grin.

"Should Rudsuck bring you some Fairie Tea for you after your shower, Miss?"

Andy smiled.

"That would be absoulutly lovely, thank you." And with that Rudsuck was gone in a puff of dust.

Andy fell back into her pillows and thought for a minute.

Jareth would be gone for the day. She wondered when he would be back.

She turned her head to look out the window, when something glinting in the sunlight caught her eye. She picked up the crystal from her night stand and read the message floating in the center.

Dear Andrew,

Sorry I can not be of company today, I have business to attend to in the labyrinth.

Sweet wishes, Hope To see you tonight

-Jarry

Andy set it back down on the table and headed into the bathroom. She took a shower, scrubbed her hair with coconaut shampoo and washed all other body parts. She stepped out of the shower and wrapped a red towel around herself, before stepping out of the bathroom.

"Rudsuck!"

"Oh hello Miss, here is your fairie tea!" He set it on top of the dresser.

"Thank you, could you please, wait outside for me?" He nodded and disappeared again. She mumbled to herself about Goblins scaring the crap out of her.

She riffled through her duffel bag and chose a pair of faded skinny's and a long sleeve black shirt. She decided to let her hair air dry and she set out of her room.

Rudsuck was munching on a biscuit, sitting on the floor next to her door when she came out. He automatically jumped up to greet her.

"Hello, again Miss Williams."

"Hello, Rudsuck." She ruffled his hair, playfully.

"What would you like to do today, Miss?"

"Well, I was hoping we could go into the city."

"We can! Take hold of my hand and we will be off!" Andy slipped her long fingers into his short and stubby ones hesitantly. She really didn't want to get sick again, but she just closed her eyes, took deep breaths and dealt with it!

When she opened her eyes again they were in the center of a busy crowd.

"I didn't feel a thing!" She said happy, smiling widely from lack of vomit. Rudsuck looked up at her in confusion. They began pushing there way through the crowd to a tavern.

"When Jareth did that, I got motion sickness, why didn't I now?" She asked Rudsuck. He smiled up at her.

"Goblins transport systems are much more relaxing then that of His Highness, he has glitter in his."

Andy couldn't help but smirk at that. Glitter and Jareth are just too perfect.

"So, where are we going exactly, Rudsuck?"

"To KosWald Tavern, Miss Williams might like to meet Rudsuck's good friends Timble and Tumble. They are so a like those two are, always together, look exactly the same, funny thing though, Timble likes fairys, Tumble hates them."

"Are they twins?"

"No. Cousins." This statement made Andy's head hurt but she entered the Tavern after Rudsuck none the less.

The tavern was completely full to the brim with people, people drank, they talked, they danced, they laughed, they made every noise a huma-creature could make. Andy noticed a centaur in the back of the room nursing a bottle of brandy, and a troll sitting at the bar weeping into his elbow, saying how his wood nymph wife left him for a water sprite.

Rudsuck led Andy to the far corner were two tall very lanky people sat. They had feiry red hair, even redder huge wide eyes and pointed ears.

"Ms. Williams, this is Rudsuck's friends, Timble and Tumble, they are Pyro Sprites." Andy could tell by the way the one had steam coming out of his ears.

"S'nice to meet you, Ms. Williams-" One began.

"We hear, that you are The Goblin King's new squeeze." The other finished.

Rudsuck motioned for Andy to sit. She oblidged.

She felt her face get very hot.

"W-We're just friends."

"That's nice-" The first one began.

"Just friends. Is that code for "hot, sexy, passionate, sex pals"?" The second one finished.

Silence.

Andy's mouth dropped open and her face was redder then a beat. She could feel the blood rush to her ears in a heated blush, she felt every tiny peircing in her ears grow warm.

"U-Uh...U-um...hm...uh-No!-Uh That's priv-ugh! No!"

The first one sighed and smacked the second on they head with a coffee mug. The second one had a perverted grin set on his face.

"I'm sorry, Miss, I should have apoligized for Tumble in advance, He's a bit of a pompous pervert, and very rude. I'm Timble, by the way, the proper one." He held out his hand, and she shook it lightly, her shock and blush not going away as quickly as she would have liked.

"So, What brings you to the Underground?" Tumble asked nursing the decent sized bump on his head.

"That's not really something I'd like to discuss."

"Why not?" He retorted.

"Because it's not."

"Well, maybe you should let it out."

"It's none of your business!"

"TUMBLE! Shut your pie hole and leave the poor girl alone!" Timble yelled into the other Pyro Sprites ear, loudly, then he turned back to Andy. "So are you enjoying your stay here in the Goblin city, we are just visiting ourselfs." He leaned in with elbows on the table. He was watching her intently, not like Jareth who's stares made her spine tingle but this made her eyes dart around the room.

His red eyes freaked her out to no end. He didn't seem...right.

"Well, I've only been here 2 days and a half, but I'm liking it so far. What are you two doing in the Goblin City?"

"We're here to chat with Rudsuck, of course." Timble reached over and ruffled the Goblin's hair much like how Andy did. She smiled at how Rudsuck's eyes beamed.

Rudsuck, Andy, Timble, and Tumble, chatted for a good hour before it was 11:00 o' clock and Rudsuck had to go back to the castle and take care of something in the kitchens.

"Goodbye, Timble, Tumble, It was nice meeting you." She said lightly. Timble slid out of the booth, got down on one knee and kissed the top of her hand in the exact place Jareth had just the day before. Unlike Jareth's cold, sweet kiss, Timble's was scorching hot, and not in the good way. When he let go he legt a light red burn mark in it's wake. Andy winced at the touch.

"It was certaintly nice meeting you also, Ms. Williams." He said in a low seductive voice.

And with that Rudsuck and Andy were back at the castle. Andy examined her hand and grimaced. His lip prints didn't look like they would disappear anytime soon.

"Ms. Williams?" Andy looked down to look at Rudsuck, he was looking up at her sadly. She knelt down to look him in the eyes.

"Rudsuck is very sorry about Timble. The good ones are really the bad ones at heart, your hand says that, would you like Rudsuck to put something on it?" Rudsuck fought back a sob. She pulled him in to her arms.

"I'm perfectly fine, Rudsuck, you have no need to worry it's okay, just go help your friends in the kitchen and I would like it very much if you would come and keep me company in my room."

Rudsuck's eyes twinkled, he smiled and nodded. Then he was gone.

Andy stood and sighed. She examined her hand once again. There was red burn marks from where he held onto her hand. But was the most obvious was the perfectly imprinted lips on her skin. It stung but she tryed to ignore it as it blistered. She walked over to her bed and made it slowly, her thoughts slowing her down.

I wonder how long this will go unnoticed by Jareth.

Jareth

Jareth was terribly, and utterly board.

He had his legs crossed, his elbow resting on his knee and his head resting in his palm, sitting on a rock. He had been in this position for over thirty minutes, in the Bog of Eternal Stench listening to two wood nymph's argue with him about removing the bog because it was killing the trees.

Jareth tried to be the nicest ruler he could and listen to there stupid complaints but he was soon loosing his patience with the two. He had tried every thing to get them to forget about it. I can't remove it, what would I threaten my enemies with? I don't care about the damn trees! None of these worked. All he wanted to do was see Andy, is that too much to ask?

After finnally, getting fed up with there high pitched voices and there squaks of disapproval toward them, he shoved a pen quill and a peice of paper into there hands and said "Torture this." What he meant by it was tell it your complaints not me and mail it the castle, simple. They looked at him looked at eachother and started to write away.

Jareth sighed and walked away from them out of the revolting smell. He rubbed his temples as he walked through the forest.

"Mr. Your Highness!" Drums sounded somewhere in the distance. A feiry came trotting up to him bouncing his furry red head like a ball. Jareth groaned.

"What do you want?"

"Have you given any thought to our proposal, dude?"

"No."

"Oh, come on, Ol' Mighty One! Help us out, man!" Jareth kept walking with the feiry fallowing behind.

"You know what?" Jareth turned around to glare at him.

"New rule, I don't give a damn what you do with your heads, I personally would like to through them into a black hole never to be seen again, but that would be mean, but Yedna (the feiry's name) I am running very very low on patience and all I want to do is go home, okay?"

"Yes, your grace! Thank you for listening." And with that the feiry was gone. Now Jareth had all the time he wanted to walk back to the city, he really didn't want to conjure up the energy to transport so he started his journey to the city.

It wasn't 10 minutes later that he came along a pond of mermaids fighting to the death over a couple of gold drachmas.

Jareth sighed heavily and started toward the pond.

This is going to be a VERY long day.

Andy

"Check mate. Sorry Rudsuck, but I beat you again!" Andy knocked over Rudsuck's white king with her black one. Rudsuck pouted and folded his arms moodily.

Andy and Rudsuck were sitting on top of Andy's bed with every board game known to man and goblin alike. They had played a goblin version of Chutes and Ladders called Tree Trunks and Vines, an Elfen version of Scrabble that Rudsuck beat her in 13 times to one. She didn't know Elfen words. Or most of them the ONE score she got was 4 for Tudj, and she was at the point of pure guessing.

It was getting close to dinnertime when Andy won her 23rd game of chess. Rudsuck had to go down to the kitchen's to help with dinner. She wondered if Rudsuck lived in the castle when she noticed it was getting dark and he hadn't left yet.

It was getting dark which also meant that Jareth should be back soon.

Andy put all the peices back in SwampyLand and Trollopoly and tucked the games away by the closet. It was getting so dark that she had to light a few candles to keep her vision from a few inches in front of her face.

She crawled on top of her bed and pulled a book out of her duffle bag. She pulled out three books, all good. Inkheart, Vampire Kisses, and The Shining.

She fought with her self before she finnally picked Inkheart. She pulled her book mark out and began reading where she left off.

Five minutes later she was so engrossed in her book she didn't here someone enter her room and didn't realize someone had taken there shoes off until they plopped heavily down on the bed next her face down, in the pillows.

She looked over at the intruder, startled and relaxed when she saw the familiar blonde locks, stirup pants, bare feet, and black sparkly jacket.

"Hi." She said simply before going back to her book. Jareth groaned in response not even bothering to lift his head to look at her.

"Bad day?"

He nodded his head into the pillow. She turned the page, finished the chapter, and closed the book.

She laid back into her pillows.

"You look exhausted." She stated looking down at the back of his head. He lifted his head to glare at her.

"I feel like I just got chewed up, swallowed, vomited up, chewed up, swallowed, vomited up, etc." He groaned hiting his head to the pillow again.

Silence.

"Your pillows are really soft." He murmered.

"You can sleep in here if you want, but there is no way in hell am I sleeping in your room."

He growled into the pillows again.

"So, do you want to tell me about your day or are you going to sit there wallowing in my pillows all night?"

He sighed and sat up. He looked at her and turned around so he was sitting indian style next to her.

"Tell me about your day first, then maybe I'll tell you about mine." He put his arms behind his head and leaned back into the pillows. She thought for a moment.

"Well, let's see, I woke up around 9:30ish to Rudsuck tapping my head, I found your crystal, Rudsuck left, I took a shower, Rudsuck brought me tea, I got dressed, Rudsuck and I went into the city to meet his friends The pyro sprites Timble and Tumble, we chatted for a good hour an-" She hesitated and decided to leave the burning kiss out. "Then we came back here and played every board game imaginable."

He scowled darkly.

"I have admit I am jealous of your day. What did do? I listened to two wood nymph's complaints about The Bog Of Eternal Stench for over half an hour, I talked to feiry about a head policy that NO ONE cares about, stopped two mermaids from killing eachother and tripped over many, many rocks."

"That sucks. You sound like you could use some down time and I suggest you-" He suddenly grabbed hold of her white bandaged hand that she had been sternly pointing at, She began playing with her lipring between her teeth to fight back the pain she felt from the sudden touch. He noticed and loosened his grip, only a little.

"What happened?" He asked darkly. He hadn't taken the bandage off yet but she could tell his fingers were itching to.

"Nothing." She said abruptly yanking her hand back and holding it to her chest. He looked at her face and replied with a gentle smile.

"If It hurts so bad I can't touch it there's got to be something wrong, now let me see." She bit her lip.

"You won't like it." He took her hand gently in his and began unwrapping the gauze. The moment the air touched the burn she sucked in a sharp breath. It burned like hell.

Jareth's body went rigid as he traveled his smooth cold fingers over it.

"Who did this?"

"One of the Pyro Sprites." She said shrugging like it was nothing.

"It looks like it stings."

She didn't answer, just watched the dazed look on his face as he turned her hand around looking at the blistering lips on her skin and the finger tip marks.

He looked up into her eyes for a split second before bringing her hand up to his mouth, and touching his cold sweet lips to the lip print. The pain immediatly subsided and was replaced with a blissful numb feeling of ice. The simple sweet gesture made goose bumps rise on Andy's arms, and her heart pump rapidly. He didn't stop there though, he kissed her fingers and her palm, and her wrist, even the places that had no burns on them.

Andy gave in and closed her eyes to the wonderful feeling. She barely even noticed when it had stopped.

"Andy, look at me." She opened her eyes slowly. Not an inch away from her face was Jareth. His eyes looked deeply into hers. He cupped his cold soft hand on her face. Andy's breathing hitched. They closed there eyes as the same time as Jareth leaned in slowly.

There lips met. It was soft and sweet. Andy had never felt anything like it before. His lips were intoxicatingly delicous. As the kiss deepened she intertwined her fingers in his mess of blonde hair and his hands went to her waist and pulled her closer to him. She couldn't help but moan into his lips causing him to groan. He bit her lip ring and tugged on it lightly. She gasped at the slight pain and he took this as a chance to slip his tongue into his mouth. Oh wow! Andy could not begin to describe what it felt like. It was like-

"Your Highness! Oh, I am so sor-" Jareth broke away to glare moodily at the goblin who brought there dinner.

"Just set it on the table." Andy said kindly getting off the bed to pick up the Fairie Tea she had not touched from that morning, and put it on the tray, she ushered the goblin out, not bothering to ask her name.

Andy looked down at her physically shaking hands. Jareth's hair looked like he had just rolled out of bed and hers looked even worse. She laughed at her reflection and crawled back on the bed.

Jareth sat waiting for her to crawl into his arms once again. She obliged.

"Now, where were we?"

HA! I hope you liked it! I certaintly enjoyed writing it. ;) wink, wink!

PLEASE REVIEW! I LOVE YOU ALL!
