A/N: Thanks to my beta Talim Sparrow.
Sarah was visiting with her brother Toby for a few days. She wanted to pull another prank on Jareth so she had asked for her brother's help. Toby thought they might find an idea online. So they were both using the Internet looking for an idea for a prank for Sarah to pull on Jareth. Sarah had told Toby about the pranks she had pulled on Jareth before she married him. Sarah also told Toby about the recent prank which she had pulled on him. Toby laughed at the pranks that she pulled on Jareth
They came across some animated gifs with glitter on them; There was one with a rainbow of colours on it. It gave Sarah an idea for a prank using multicolored glitter to decorate the Throne Room, including Jareth's throne. When Jareth appears and disappears silvery glitter always appeared. Sarah thought that glitter could be used for a prank. Sarah told her brother about the idea.
Toby asked her. "Is this wise Sarah to do this to his Throne Room! If you do it, how would you do it?"
Sarah told him, "With magic Toby. All I would have to do is to paint the room and the throne with the multicolored glitter. Then I would animate it like the animated gifs on the computer screen. It would not be permanent. If it were, Jareth would kill me."
Toby told her, "I rather doubt that Jareth would kill you. For he loves you very much Sarah. Since it is just temporary, you do not have to worry about it. I wish that I could see what the results would be and the look on Jareth's face when he sees it."
So Sarah went back to the Labyrinth with this prank on her mind. Jareth was not around when she arrived back from aboveground. She asked Mousey who was one of the smarter goblins where Jareth had gone. He told her that Jareth had to go to see the High King about something so he would be away for about three days. Sarah was happy about this so she could pull off the prank with no problems.
First she had to get the goblins and the chickens out of the Throne Room then it had to be cleaned up before doing the prank. Sarah told the goblins to take the chickens and get out of the Throne Room or they would all be sent to the Bog of Eternal Stench. That cleared the room out very fast for no goblins wanted to smell bad forever. What a mess there was! Then Sarah used her magic to clean out the room next. Sarah wondered how did Jareth put up with the mess that the goblins and chickens made every day.
Next she painted the room, and throne with multicolored glitter. The colors of the glitter were purple, blue, green, yellow, and red. Then she animated it using her magic. She looked around the room and she liked the results of her work. Some of the goblins came back and saw the changes in the room. They did not understand why it looked so different. The animated colours gave them headaches, so they left the room. They told the other goblins to stay away from the Throne Room.
Jareth flew back to the Labyrinth tired and wanting Sarah beside him. The meeting with the High King went well; It had to do with the Bog of Eternal Stench. The smell sometimes was carried by the wind to a nearby kingdom. Jareth had agreed to reduce the smell so that the other kingdom would not have to smell it anymore when it was windy.
So when Jareth landed near the front of his doors of his castle he noticed that there were no goblins around, and wondered why there was none. Jareth found out when he entered the Throne Room. What had happened? His Throne Room had glaring animated glitter everywhere. Who ever had done this was in a lot of trouble! So Jareth called for Sarah and she came running at his summons!
"What is wrong Jareth?" Asked(asked) Sarah quietly.
"What has happened to this room and my throne? The colours are giving me a headache," complained Jareth.
"I just painted the room in different glitter colours and animated them. Now the Throne Room, and your throne is animated," replied Sarah.
"Sarah you have gone too far; It looks terrible. If you do not do something about it you will be sorry." Jareth shouted at her.
Sarah thought to herself, I will turn it back. The colours were giving her a headache too so she changed the Throne Room and throne back to normal. The prank did not turn out as it should. All it did was to cause headaches. She was still glad that she pulled this prank.
Sarah then told him, "It was meant to be a prank, but it did not work out. So everything is back to normal. There was one good thing that came out of this. The Throne Room is clean and does not smell bad."
Jareth was not too pleased about the prank despite it now being cleaner than it was before. He was not going to let her get away with it. So he started to chase her around the room until he caught her. He threw her over his shoulder and took her to a nearby pond and threw her in.
Sarah was soaking wet so she caught Jareth by one of his ankles and pulled him into the pond. Now he was soaking wet from being pulled into the pond. They both got out of the pond and dried themselves off with magic. They both laughed at this.
Sarah told him," there will be more pranks done."
Jareth was not too pleased by this. He decided that he might have to pull some himself. It looks like there might be a prank war between Jareth and Sarah.
Thus begins the prank war between Sarah and the Goblin King.
