Jareth had to come up with a good prank to pull on his wife. Sarah had pulled three pranks on him already without him doing anything against her. So he thought very hard about it. Eureka, Jareth knew what prank he was going to pull on Sarah. He would create a crystal that when thrown at Sarah it would show her bones and muscles. It would act like an x-ray machine. She will be unaware of what is going on; Only those around her would be able to see it. The only way that she will know the prank is to look in a mirror to see for herself.
Jareth proceeded to make the special crystal. Then he waited for the right time to pull the prank. He also wanted others around when it happened.
Then the perfect day approached, a day where Jareth held his court in the throne room. There were goblins, trolls, vampires, faes, unicorns, dwarfs and others too. Sarah was sitting down and was talking to Hoggle when Jareth threw the enchanted crystal at her. Sarah felt something hit her back. She looked around, she did not see anyone around that could have hit her with something. She asked Hoggle if he had seen anyone throw something at her back.
Instead of answering her Hoggle's eyes widened in shock when he looked at Sarah. He could see her muscles and bones. He knew somebody at court had done this to Sarah. Hoggle wondered if Jareth had done it to her, because of the pranks she had pulled on him.
"Sarah I can see your muscles and bones. Someone has pulled a prank on you. I wonder if Jareth had pulled it on you. That dirty rat."
Sarah jumped up angrily, knocking her chair over in the process. She strode over to Jareth with anger radiating off her body. A lot of the fae at court were snickering at what they saw for they do not normally get entertainment when they are at court. Normally it was boring for them.
Jareth saw Sarah coming towards him. Her body was stiff with anger. He assumed that she did not like the prank at all.
When Sarah got there, she asked Jareth, "What did you do to me? For I cannot tell what has happened. I do not see any difference in me. I cannot see the prank you pulled on me. Only others can see it. Why?"
"You have pulled pranks on me. Do you think I would let you pull pranks on me without me doing something about it. So I just decided I would prank you back. If you are so worried Sarah, you can see for yourself in a mirror. Over there is a mirror by the wall then you can see what I did to you." answered a smirking Jareth.
"I will so get you back Jareth." Sarah replied.
So Sarah went to the mirror and saw what Jareth had done to her. She knew it was an x-ray spell and it was very easy to reverse it. Sarah made a crystal that would break the prank. then she threw it at herself. Afterwards she looked into the mirror and saw she was back to normal. She, Queen of the Goblins had to find a way to get back at the King of the Goblins her husband.
