Sorry about the wait i have the story split between several computers and every time I thought I would upload I wasn't near the right computer. It's a quite long chapter. I'd like to thank Soneta for this chapter and the next as she is my beta/co-writer at points (althiugh I may have rewritten some of her parts to match my tone of writing.

Disclaimer: I don't own this, it's boxing day I can't be bothered to write something funny

Chapter 4

Sarah all but fell into her apartment, she was exhausted. Two hours of Dr Jackson lecturing them on Shakespeare's use of prose in Twelfth Night was far too much for her on a Friday afternoon. All Sarah wanted to do was sink into a hot bath with a cup of Darcy's herbal tea. Unfortunately fate, as it seems, had different plans. Sarah all but dragged herself to the kitchen to find Darcy and Robbie standing with their backs to her. Darcy was evidently trying to do something at the counter but was being distracted be Robbie kissing her neck. Sarah inwardly groaned. Yes the two of them were cute and Sarah was happy for Darcy but today she just wasn't in the mood for a glimpse into their sex life.

Sarah cleared her throat and the two jumped apart. Darcy looked like a child who had been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. Robbie on the other hand was cool, leaning casually back on the counter, his green eyes looking slightly murderous although.
"Sarah!" Darcy sounded breathless. "I-I didn't hear you come in, how was Dr Jackson's lecture?"
"Long, boring." Sarah sighed, "I'm in need of a hot drink. You still got some of that herbal tea." Darcy eyes looked concerned.
"Of course, Sarah are you alright, I mean this course of yours seems to be taking up all your time." Darcy got the easy bargain. Drama classes were on hold until the auditorium was rebuilt and her art course was easy for her as she was extremely talented at art.
"Yeah, yeah fine. Just tired at the moment." Darcy handed Sarah a hot steaming mug that she'd made up while they were talking. As she handed her it Darcy's eyes lit up as if a light bulb went off in her head.
"You know what, you need to loosen up. Apparently there's a party and the Alpha Gamma sorority house and it's open to freshmen. You want to go?"
"I have nothing to wear."
"Then it's settled then we'll go shopping and make a whole girls day of it." Robbie came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"And am I involved in this plan?"
"If you want to be, I'm sure no one's going to notice a gate crasher, who knows we might need an escort." Darcy narrowed her eyes at him, "As long as you don't get drunk, I don't want to deal with that again."
" One time baby one time"

Sarah groaned as the smell of coffee filled the air. Rolling over she reached to check the time on her bedside clock. After seeing the little green numbers confirm it was eight am Sarah dragged herself up to question Darcy. She quickly pulled a robe around her as she climbed out of bed. After all you couldn't know who was peeking through the curtains. Sarah padded across the hallway and living room before pausing before the kitchen door. She knocked lightly on the wood.
"I better not find the two of you fornicating in there." Sarah heard a small scuffle and rolled her eyes. Of course.

Before Sarah could push the door open Darcy yanked it open.
"Fornicating eh, such big words for such an early hour." Sarah glared at the petite woman as she crossed the kitchen and forcefully grabbed a mug from the cupboard.
"Oh yes about the early hour, why?" Sarah turned to Darcy whom had hoisted herself up on to the breakfast bar and was sat contently sipping her mug of coffee.
"You don't remember? We were going shopping and I thought we might want to get out early to beat the traffic." Sarah looked puzzled.
"Beat the traffic, there's always traffic in New York, you know that."
"Really, I thought that was just in the morning and afternoon, like normal places." Sarah shook her head.
"Oh Darcy you are so British." Sarah swore Darcy pouted at that. "So how are we going to get to the shops if we can't drive there."
"We always could..." Robbie started
"No we couldn't " Darcy cut him off sharply, turning on him, her eyes cold and dangerous .
"We could what?" Sarah queried
"Nothing, one of Robbie's stupid ideas that he should have known better than to voice." Darcy didn't turn to face Sarah, her eyes still on Robbie, but Sarah could hear the chill in her voice and it seemed as if the room dropped several degrees.
"Well um... I'll just go get dressed then." Sarah sidled out of the room before Darcy and Robbie either had a big blow out or started to make out on the kitchen counter, honestly Sarah wasn't sure which she preferred.

Darcy waited until after the door closed behind Sarah before turning on Robbie, her fury barely contained.
"What in Hades were you thinking Robin?" Darcy fumed "No you know what I already know the answer, you weren't."
"Now listen Darce..."
"No you listen, do you have any idea how long I have been trying to keep anyone from finding me here as well as keeping Sarah from knowing I was fae. And then you have to make a suggestion that could very well destroy all my work on both." Darcy's hand were clenching and unclenching by her side. Robin reached forward and took them in his.
" Darcy I'm sorry, but to be honest no one is really looking for you."
"Jareth is. I've felt him. I-I should have known that he would come looking for me. And he'll probably find me too, since you did." Darcy moved back, away from Robin to lean on ther counter, her eyes no longer blazing.
" Really sweatheart, I'm a lot better at my job than you credit for. Anyway it's different between you and me."
"How so." Darcy's voice was quiet, having calmed down from her previous outburst. Robin's words soothing her, as always.

Robin moved a lock of hair away from her face.
"Because I love you." Darcy swallowed, she felt tears coming to her eyes. This was the first time Robin had said aloud, that he loved her. This would only make her more desperate to keep him with her and harder for her to leave him when the time came.
"And I you." Darcy's voice cracked with her words and sh e reached to pull Robin into a kiss.
"So we're agreed." Darcy said after she released him. "No more magic talk."
"No more magic talk." Robin agreed.

"What do you mean no more magic talk?" The couple froze as Sarah's voice came from the doorway.
"Magic? Fae? Jareth?" Sarah's tone was dangerous as she advanced on the pair. Darcy inwardly swore as she realised Sarah had been listening at the door.
"Darcy, what the hell is going on? Who are you, who's he?" Sarah gestured towards Robin.
"Robin Goodfellow, otherwise known as Puck," Robin gave Sarah a mock bow. Darcy froze as she felt a wave of magic ripple by her. Then she hit Robin on the back of the head.
"Are you really that much of an idiot? Do you not listen to gossip?. 'You have no power over me' does that ring a bell? Sarah's not effected by fae magic."

As Darcy continued to hit Robbie... well Puck, Sarah narrowed her eyes, she was suddenly aware of the air crackling around her.
"Darcy what other magic have you cast here?" Darcy froze her palm in mid-air she turned to face Sarah, smiling sheepishly.
"Just a bit, a few shield charms and stuff. Nothing to do with, just to keep away any unwanted guests finding us... I mean me."
"Finding ... wait unwanted guests?" Darcy flapped her hand dismissively
"Oh just some fae nobles... my parents... and others..."
"Others like Jareth? You mentioned him how does he fit into this?"

Darcy opened her mouth to make up a reason, well Sarah didn't really need to know the details did she? But then a chill ran through the room

"So dear darling sister"

Word Count: 1,348 So I'm proud of this I actually had to split this idea into two chapters although the next one is from a different perspective.

Please, please, please review loads of people have favourited/followed and I'd really like to hear from you even if it's giving criticism. But no flames they turn me into a massive bitch (I'm serious you should see my youtube comments to some people )
