Ch 8

Helping the Wished Away is NOT Cheating!

"The evaluation of one Lady Casey King in now in session." said King Romulus, his wife on his right.

I was standing on a platform in front of them that had a high table with a chalice of ever full water. I took a big sip and looked at Jareth who was standing in the corner watching. He smiled lightly before nodding, as if you say 'You'll be fine.'

"The first order of business is to ask Lady King a few things about herself. We will start of with various things like how old she is to personal things like what is her sexual orientation. But to warn her we have a sensor on you that will tell us each in our head if she is lying. Queen Adrienne Would you like to start the questioning?" King Romulus asked.

"Why yes, King Romulus, I would love to." She said as she stood.

Shit.

I looked over at Jareth, he looked green and had a goblin bring him a chair. I felt the same way, so I raised my hand before politely saying

"May I have a chair to sit on? I don't feel well."

King Romulus nodded and I called for Tilly, my personal goblin assistant as I liked to say. She brought me a char that was to fall for her and with seconds she threw some glitter on it and BOOM! It was a big comfy throne. The chair was so big I sat Indian style in it and I still had room.

"Thank you, Please Queen Adrienne continue." I said as I laid back and grabbed the chalice from the table and drank a large gulp.

"Yes, Lady King, How old are you?" She said coldly

"Fourteen, almost fifteen."

"Where are you from?"

"Chelmsford, Massachusetts. Aboveground."

"How much do you weigh?"

"One fifty five."

"How tall are you?"

"Five feet, nine inches."

"What color eyes do you have?"

"A deep blue, like Sapphires."

"What color hair do you have?"

"Light blonde."

"I would like to warn Lady King that the next questions will be rather personal," Adrienne said with a smirk on her lips "Are you a virgin?"

I took a deep breath before saying with my head held high

"Now you all know the answer to that question just but looking at me, but if its not clear enough. No, I'm not a virgin. I had sex with Jareth."

Mumbles broke out before Adrienne asked

"Have you ever had a sexual relationship outside of the one you are currently in?"

"Yes."

"Who was it with?"

"….uh…" I mumbled as my head started to pound before I had the words 'I wish the goblins would come and take you away right now!' flow into my head.

Jareth stood as if he had figured out the reason the sky is blue and what came first the chicken or the egg.

"I'm sorry Ladies and Gentlemen but we are going to have to cut this short. I also need you to stay within the castle walls for the next thirteen hours. I belive we have a wished away child arriving any time now…Casey darling I need you to take care of the wished away child, I would normally do it but that is now the goblin queen's job. Spittlebrain!" Jareth said as he helped me up out of the chair. We left the great hall and walked to the throne room,

"Yes, My lord?" Spittlebrain said as we walked the long way to the throne room.

"Did you close the barrier to the labyrinth?"

"Yes, Though I don't get why you had us seal the gate to the junkyard of forgotten childhood dreams, Why? What is wrong?"

Jareth kicked the little thing about ten feet in front of us

"Not the gate you idiot! The barrier to the Aboveground, the one that lets children be wished away?" Jareth snarled angrily as I began to grow weaker and weaker

"Jareth, sweetheart, why do I feel like I'm going to pass out." I said shakily.

Jareth's angry look faded as he looked at me, I was flushed and barely keeping my eyes open.

"I forgot to add that not only will your looks change but because of our little valentine evenings, you have received some of my magic and powers. So when a child is wished away we both become sick, it is more sever because it is your first time, but it happens to tell us in no mater we doing or where we are we know we have a job to do," Jareth said as we stepped into the throne room. I saw somebody in the pit who was much too big for it. She had long dark hair, and was wearing a top that looked one I gave my best friend before she moved…and jeans with a black an blue studded belt…she looked like…

"Marissa?!" I screamed, the girl woke with a jump.

"What? How? Where?" She stuttered as she looked around all the goblins not caring.

"Have fun Darling." Jareth said as Kissed me before transforming into his forbidding outfit from the beginning of labyrinth and transformed into an owl and flew off.

"CASEY!" I heard Marissa scream before I felt a tackle hug.

"Oh my god I have missed you so, so, so much! Florida sucks by the way, Where are we…and what are you wearing?" She asked as we stood.

"Marissa it is the strangest story you will ever know." I said laughed as we walked to my room.

~*~

"So what happened was, you wished yourself away like you always did but this time it worked. So then you woke up and found yourself in the labyrinth and that there was a law that says you have to get married to the goblin king, who is in fact Jareth the goblin king. So you do a happy dance and you meet the soon to be in-laws and they love you but then you meet this girl and her mother and they hate you cause your getting marred to Jareth and that's what they wanted the daughter to do, to they threaten you, that night you make out with him, then you have a nightmare that the scary daughter kills Jareth, you wake up and Jareth comforts you, you both confess your love, you bang him, in the morning you look all fey like, then you go shopping aboveground with a hot young Jareth, then you bump into Sab, you slap him and flip out, you come back and you go off on a pony ride, bump into the scary daughters' mom, she threatens you, and tells you Sarah is alive but your confused cause Jareth said she didn't, then you go back and cry a bit before Jareth tells you the truth that Sarah did go through the labyrinth and steal his heart but she died and now he fully loves you, so now your happy so you bang him again, everything is all good for a few weeks till you find out that all the kings and queens from all over the labyrinth are staying at you house and they are going to ask you stuff you don't want to be asked. Your pissed and then you in the middle of it when I get wished away by my brother and then now here we are." Marissa said extremely quickly before breathing

"First, wow you said it all in one breath, and second yeah that's about it." I laughed as we sat on my bed

"Cool. So I want to know…how is Jareth in bed?" she giggled

"Marissa! I'm not telling!" I laughed

"C'mon, you better tell me or I'll ask Mr. tight pants himself." she said

"Okay, all I'll tell you is, the only reason my hair is so pale and strait is because if you have spectacular sex it make the transformation more noticeable." I smirked as she gave a low whistle.

"Wow he must have been great in bed." She said with a laugh

"I would like to thing so." I heard a very familiar voice say

"Hi, Jareth. This is Marissa she is my best friend…" I said laughing

"A pleasure." he said with a bow

She got up and faked a curtsy, and said

"Same to you Mr. Scary-Tight-Pants-Wearing-Goblin-King-who-is-Marring-My-BestFriend." she said smiling

"I didn't thing my real title was that long…" Jareth said as we busted out laughing

"Jareth can Marissa stay?" I begged.

"No, not unless her brother loses." He said sternly

"Can she at least stay for the wedding?" I begged, now with Marissa helping

"We discuss it later." he said

"Okay hun…" I said with the puppy dog look on

He rolled his eyes before asking

"What now?"

"Well I was wondering…if her brother dose end up losing can we NOT turn Marissa into a goblin…she could be a lady in waiting or something." I said wile getting up and running my hands up Jareth's chest and around his neck.

"We will discuss it. Now you two will not cause trouble right?" He said as he took my arms off from around his neck.

"Nope, no trouble at all." We both said at once before we giggle uncontrollably.

"Oh god how I miss getting wished away babies…" He said as he strutted out.

"I love you!" I called out laughing as he waved a hand at me

"Oh my god…" Marissa said as she whipped away tears.

"I haven't had that much fun since the time we went sledding and your pants were ripped." I laughed just thinking about that

"Oh my god that was so flipping cold." She laughed

"Oh and by the way if you do end up staying, you need to wear a dress like mine c'mon try one on." I said as I slid off the bed and walked into the closet.

I grabbed a light short sleeved sea foam green one for her with black flats. She slipped around the changing screen. She came back and she looked so beautiful

"How do I look?" she asked

"Wow…if you stay I know what color dress you should wear if your in my wedding." I said stunned as I heard her stomach growl.

"Are you hungry?" I laughed

"Yeah, That's how I ended up here. Me and Junaid were fighting about that when he wished me away. We had only enough food for the baby and he went and ate it all, I almost said the words but he beat me to it. I never thought I was going to work. You know cause you said it all the time." she said as we walked to the Great hall which was back to looking like the dining spot.

"Holy crap." Marissa said as she looked around

"Yeah, I know…its really cool here, everything is so different compared to life aboveground…" I said smiling as we sat down at the end of the table, I was at the head she was on my right.

"Hey look, I'm your right hand man." She said with a laugh

"Very Funny." I said as large goblin that looked like a chimp walked up, Marissa started to stare with wide eyes as I told him I wanted two of the dish Jareth had served at my engagement ball. He nodded before looking at Marissa in a similar way she was looking at him and left with a bow to me.

"They are really creepy looking, I don't get how you can live here all the time…" She said as more goblins walked past the entrance to the hall.

"Well they all are very fierce and loyal creatures, they are all so kind. Remember, nothing is as it seems in this place." I said with a wink and she rolled her eyes.

"Your such a loser…" She said as she shook her head.

"But I'm YOUR loser!" I laughed as the goblin came out with the food on a tray

"Lunch is served my Lady." He said with a bow as he placed the plates in front of us.

"Wow great service, there will be a big tip in this for him," Marissa said as the goblin came back with two goblets filled with a silver liquid. "The food is amazing! Well except for this, what is this?" She said as she looked at me

"It's an Underground delicacy, it's a liquid that changes according to the wish of the drinker. So say I wanted a sip of amp but then I wanted a sip of iced tea, I could have it cause it would change as soon as the liquid hit my lips." I said as I took a big sip, it tasted like Amp.

"That's frickin' amazing!" She said as she took a big sip of the stuff.

"Yeah it comes in handy when you have a vampire King staying in you castle…" I mumbled.

"What?" She said as she ate the food, once again marveling at the taste.

"Nothing." I said with a smirk

~*~

"I could really get used to living here." She smiled as we sat in the garden by the fountain, about four out of the thirteen hours had gone by.

"I love it. You'll have to wish you could have a sleepover with the goblin queen." I laughed

"Yeah or I could wish myself away. Maybe there will be an available nephew of Jareth's I could get hitched to." she smiled

"Sorry hun, he is an only child." I said

"Damn. it's a shame too cause if his nephew looked anything like what you described as the young Jareth I think I would be all over him."

"Okay, Marissa. Well, if your brother dose lose, we kinda have to look into a husband for you." I said giving her a 'Its-a-law' look.

"Okay fine, I want a tall guy with a big nose." She said smiling

"Ha-ha, you and you big nosed boyfriends."

"They don't always have a big nose." She pouted

"Yes, yes they do." I laughed as I saw an barn owl fly overhead and sit on a branch right across from the bench we were sitting at.

"Oh…what a beautiful owl…" Marissa said as she started to get up, I grabbed her hand. She looked at me

"Think very hard, I know you don't usually use your brain but think…what character of Labyrinth have I almost gotten in trouble with every wildlife bird place we have gone to because I need to see if they have captured said character?" I said as she looked at me and laughed

"Oh Right! Now I remember, ha-ha, that was funny the time the owl landed on your shoulder cause you asked the trainer to try and get Jareth to land on your shoulder. He looked as you so funny when you started to talk to the bird."

"Ha-ha, yeah…my mom was so mad when the bird hooted and I almost fainted. C'mon Jareth, transform, what do you need?" I said as I rolled my eyes.

I looked to Marissa, she had her eyes focused on Jareth as he transformed back to himself. I felt a hand on my shoulder as Jareth sat next to me so I was in the middle of the three of us.

"Marissa has to spend some of her thirteen hours in the throne room, you know." He said with a smirk. I smiled before facing him,

"Can she stay?" I begged again

"No. Not unless her brother fails" He said sternly

"Marissa," I said turning to her. "don't you want to stay?"

"I…Uh…I dunno. I mean I don't want to leave my little sister to a life of moving every year or so but I don't want to go back to it myself. Everything is so peaceful here, I could really get used to being waited on and not be the one walking on people. Having to clean and keep up with school and religion class and not being able to date…but I dunno…I could think about it." She said, her eyes darkling as if she wasn't even with us.

"Well you have nine hours and twenty three minutes before you become mine…or in this case ours." Jareth said smiling as he placed a light kiss on my neck.

~*~

"You can sleep you know, Jareth has to stay up but we can have a little sleepover, like we did before you moved. I can ask Jareth if we can get a scary movie." I smiled as we sat in the throne room, we sat in the pit. I saw a litle goblin come up to my foot, I was too tempted.

"May I Jareth?" I asked

"Yes you may." He smiled darkly knowing well what I was about to do.

I stood and jumped out of the pit and casualy kicked the goblin.

"Casey!" Marissa shreked, horrified I kicked the little thing. All the other goblins laughed and cheered. The little goblin got up and bowed to me.

"A great kick, You Majesty." He said with a bow before scrurring off to do what he was doing before I gave him a lesson in flying.

"They enjoy it, I don't get it but I like it. it's a great way to get our fustration." I said sitting with Marissa again.

"Still, you may have been living with Jareth for too long." She said as we relaxed again

"I resent that!" Jareth called, I giggled

"I still love you." I said back

We talked quietly for a wile before I looked up to the clock, Junaid had about four hours left.

"Jareth? How far has Marissa's brother gotten?"

"He is still stuck in the hedge maze." He said with a look that said 'Ha-ha-I'm-gonna-win-and-you-will-lose!'

"Oh. So I am going to stay…SICK!" Mairssa said before sreaking in happyness and dancing around like a mad woman!

I couldn't stop laughing, so I got up and started to dance. Together we chanted as we spun around.

"Your staying here! Your not leaving! We will be together forever!"

As we spun I tripped and together we fell in a mess of limbs and fabric.

I couldn't stop lauging, I had never laughed as hard sence the days before she left.

"Bravo ladies, Bravo!" Jareth laughed.

I helped her up and we bowed.

"Thank you, thank you, We'll be here for…well eternity!" I laughed

"I think you to have had too much exsitement for one day so I think you tow should get some sleep, Marissa I wil wake you when time runs out, so you may say your final goodbyes." Jareth laughed as he got up and walked over to us. He gave me a hug and a kiss godnight.

"Godnight girls." He said as we walked out and to the master bedroom.

"Goodnight Jareth." we both said at the same time witch casued ups to erupt in laughs. I know I heard him say

"Those girls will be the death of me."

I smiled, knowing that my life was turning out great. I had my best friend with me to walk me down the eile, I had the best fiance, and I was about to become queen and imortal. Little did I know in a few days my perfect world was about to fall down.
