Hello Again.

My sincerest apologies for keeping you waiting for this. My Homework load has just grown exponentially.

Once again thank you to all my reviewers- I couldn't do it without you guys. :)

And now, on with the show...


Crystal Games

"Daddy?" Jae repeated, more of a question this time as she stood up on his throne- in a futile attempt to make herself as tall as he.

"That would be me little one" Jareth smiled, a smile he usually reserved for children wished into his care.

"Is Mummy the princess from the red book?" she asked

"Red book little one?" Jareth asked, knowing full well which book she meant.

"Daddy!" Jae squealed. "The red Laby-rinf book!"

"He was teasing you baby" Sarah stepped in

"It's a father's prerogative Precious" Jareth told his beloved then turned back to Jae. "Yes little one. Your mother was the princess"

"I'm not little" Jae stuck her tongue out at her father. "I'm just small"

"Forgive me princess" he picked her up. "I shall try not to do it again"

"Am I a princess?" Jae giggled as her father lifter her above his head. "For real?"

"Of course you are Jae-Fae" Sarah told her. "Daddy is the Goblin King"

"And your mother is soon to be the Goblin Queen" Jareth swung Jae onto his hip. "Making you the Goblin Princess and heir to the kingdom"

The family stood together until a goblin ran in.

"Kingy, The man is in the city"

"Distract him until I say otherwise" Jareth told him. "The child will be staying here regardless. She is my heir"

"She's Princess?" the Goblin seemed to be a particularly smart one

"That is correct."

The goblin had now noticed Sarah. "You the girl who ate the peach!" it stared at her

"Not only that" Jareth wrapped his free arm around Sarah's waist. "She is your Queen, The mother of the princess"

"Hello Queen" the Goblin bowed, before scurrying off to relay his king's orders.


Ruben had finally managed to escape from the Junk Yard and was now in what seemed to be the low rent district of the Goblin city. He figured that he had about half an hour in which to rescue Jae from the Goblin King. All was quiet until…

"ATTACK!" the cry rose up from all sides and droves of armoured goblins rained down upon him.


Jareth was reclined upon his throne, Sarah was in his lap and Jae was playing with a crystal that Jareth had given her; suddenly.

"Mummy Daddy!" she cried. "Look what I did" she turned to face her parents (who were, to be frank, still amazed that the stubborn girl had accepted her long lost father so easily)

"What is it Jae-Fae?" it was the first time that Jareth had referred to her in that way

Jae's fingers moved, allowing the crystal to roll across her finger tips.

Then, typically, it fell, vanishing on impact with the ground.


There you go...

A pretty short chapter I'm afraid- I promise that the next one will be longer (and a certain cretin finds out just who he wished away...)

Myra: "I claim no ownership of the phrase 'I'm not little I'm just small' a little kid I know says it I just thought it was cute:)"

Anywho... *wiseman's hat shows up*

WMH: please leave a contiribution in the little box

Myra: Until next time...
