Caution this chapter maybe too cheesy for younger reader viewers and digression is advised. Weird cravings may come about and awkward song singing may come over you. You have been warned. Also if you die while reading don't come and haunt us.
Elisabeth: Well, you can haunt Marlene, see's the one who is writing.
Me: But you're the one who gave me the idea
Elisabeth: Yes, but you're the one who decided to use it.
Me: Bu… You're right.
Elisabeth: I'm always right.
'Wow, what was in that pie?' Slowing waking up with a haze, Sarah opens her eyes. 'Why am I in my old room? I swear I was in the Goblin City eating pie with Cian.' Quietly Sarah gets up out of bed to explore the house. Changing into a pair of blue jeans with a orange t-shirt. 'Might as well see what's going on downstairs to see if anyone is home.' looking out the door into the hallway Sarah changes her mind to see if the bedrooms are occupied first. Coming towards the first door which belongs to Toby, Sarah gently opens the door to find that no one is there. Noticing nothing out of place she makes her may towards her parents room. Doing the same there as with her brother's room and getting the same results Sarah goes back to the original plan. Hearing no sound coming from the first floor Sarah gingerly walks down the stairs making no noise what so ever. Reaching the bottom of the stairs and coming into the living room still seeing no one, she decides to go check the kitchen to see if there is a note on the fridge telling her where her family has gone to. 'Where is everyone, and how did I get back to the Aboveground? Was I ever in the Underground. It felt so real to be a dream. Of course it was a little weird, me becoming an assassin. It would have been fun though. I should check outside, maybe one of the neighbors saw them leave.' Nodding her head to the plan Sarah walks towards the front door and opens it to walk onto the porch. Looking right then to the left Sarah starts getting a weird vibe. Looking closer at the neighboring houses she notices that there is no sound what so ever. No birds chirping, no cars running, and not a peep from any of the neighbors. Continuing her walk out into the open Sarah stops in the middle of the street to get a better look at everything, when she hears a whistling sound coming from the back of her. Turning around and seeing nothing, but still hear the sound getting closer she looks up towards the sun putting one of her hands on her forehead in a salute manner , and sees a shadow coming out of the sun. 'What is that?' Not noticing that the flying object was coming towards her, Sarah stays in that spot until it was to late to move and gets hit by the UFO.
"OWWWW! What just hit me?"
Looking at the offensive object Sarah sees that it is a gigantic burrito. "A burrito hit me?" Moving closer to the burrito and trying to figure out where it came from she didn't notice that a hand was slightly moving towards her leg. "AHHHH!" Looking down and seeing a hand attached to an arm come out of the burrito Sarah steps on it with her free leg. Hearing a yell come from the burrito and she watches as it stood up on legs. Suddenly the burrito turns around and Sarah gasps, for the burrito had a face. A face that she knew well for she had seen it before and it haunts her dreams still. The face was no other the Jareth.
"How dare you step on the hand of the burrito king!"
Looking at Jareth with a WTH stare, trying to put together her lost mind after seeing such a strange sight, Sarah slowly walks toward him with her pointer finger out in an attempt to see if he was really there and wearing that.
"Don't come near me, I'm warning you! I know burrito fu, and I'm not afraid to use it."
"What are you doing here? I never made a wish!"
"Yes you did."
"No I didn't! I would remember saying 'I wish Jareth the Goblin king would appear before me in a burrito costume'!"
"See you just made the wish!"
"Now I did, but you appeared before I said anything!"
"That's because my burrito powers give me the chance to see into the future."
"Fine then. What are you going to do now? You appeared before me in the costume so shouldn't you be leaving now?"
"No. I can't leave until I finish my job."
"Job? What job?"
"Why this of course." Pulling out a portable CD player Jareth goes to track 13 and waits for the music to start.
"What are you…" Before Sarah could finish what she wanted to say the music begins and the opening of the Burrito song begins.
"I am the best burrito, that ever hit you. Concussion. I'm plenty hot, and to sexy to beat. Cause I'm all covered in meat." While doing the banana dance from peanut butter jelly time. (AN: Me: If you have not seen the burrito song or the banana dance, then go on to youtube. Elisabeth: And stop living under a rock!) When it looked like the song was ending, Jareth creates a crystal and throws it in the air making a chair appear with a string that disappeared into the air next to it. Dancing towards the chair as the last note filtered through. Jareth sits down and pulls the cord. Seeing this happen in movies many times Sarah expects to see water come out of nowhere only to be surprised when chocolate sauce hits Jareth along with herself for being in the vicinity.
"WHY DID YOU DO ALL THAT JUST NOW!" Sarah yelled while trying to wipe off the chocolate sauce only making it worse.
"You summoned me that's why, now if you had summoned me in a taco costume it would have been completely different." Jareth told her nonchalantly.
"How?"
"Well instead of singing about burrito's it would have been about taco's and would have went something like this in a jazz like mood. 'T A C O Taco's! You eat us at the Mexican store, and very soon your toilet fill of doom. I'm the taco aftermath, crunchy or soft, and soon your lid will surly pop off. Have the plumber on speed dial, cause I'm the badest ass taco!'" Ending the song with his legs under him from sliding on the ground towards Sarah with his arms stretched to the sides of him.
"How dare you make fun of the almighty taco's!" Sarah screamed with revulsion. "I can't believe you would make fun of taco's! They are gods gift to man!"
"I thought I was gods gift to man." He asked with a slight frown marring his good looks.
"No, you're gods gift to goblins." Sarah replied.
"Aren't you supposed to say women?" Jareth asks questionably.
"No, goblins is right." She said with conviction.
Putting on a pout that would make all toddlers jealous Jareth hides in a corner by the house growing mushrooms.
"Stop growing mushrooms near my house! Plus they don't go well with burritos." Shaking her head at the sight in front of her. Getting out of his depression and walking a little bit towards Sarah with a coy look on his face.
"So do I look good enough to eat?"
"I guess, lets see how you taste." Sarah inquired while slowly walking towards him swaying her hips as she did.
Thinking that Sarah was going to kiss him Jareth closes his eyes and puckers up, when suddenly he hears a big chomp. Looking down to the left side of him, he see's that Sarah has taken a bite out of the burrito costume. Finding out that it was not a costume, but an actual burrito.
"Umm you are delicious. I think I will eat you up." Said Sarah licking her lips and again coming towards Jareth with a hungry look on her face. Getting scared of what might happen to him Jareth summons his ticket out of the Aboveground. A flying hot sauce packet.
"Don't go! I'm not full yet! Sarah proclaimed to the living burrito flying away from her. "I have not got enough of your beans, rice and chocolaty goodness!"
"Sorry but I have to go and save my fellow burrito the pain of getting eaten by their loved ones, for it is my life quest. But before I go I will leave you with one last song." Flying further away on the giant magical pocket of hot sauce Jareth sings a song that sounds like the ending song from the Breakfast Club.
"Don't you take a bite out of me. Don't, Don't, Don't, Don't! Don't you take a bit of meeeee!"
Seeing Ara toss and turn while mumbling something, Jareth leans in closer to hear " ummm Jareth so chocolate and delicious." Jareth gets red thinking in the gutter when he hears " more beans and rice." Getting even redder from his misconception. When he gets control over his expression, Jareth hears the door opening and Xindha walks though caring the potion to give to the dieing patient.
"Where is Cian? He is supposed to give her the potion."
"He his resting from staying up all night watching over her while you were getting the ingredients Sire."
"Well wake him up, I don't think this young girl will hold out much longer."
Putting the cure down to do as His Majesty said Xindha quietly leaves without a sound only to come back a few minutes later with Cian bring up the rear.
"Is that the cure?" Cian asked hurriedly noticing the small bowl on the bedside table.
"Yes, are you sure you would give up your life for her, because if you are not then we will not be able to make another potion before her death." Jareth asks his most trusted friend.
"I'm sure Sire." Cian replied picking up the bowl and putting the contents in his mouth. Having the vile taste of what tasted like the bog itself in his mouth Cian quickly opens Ara's mouth and spills the contents into her mouth. Making sure that Ara swallowed the cure, Jareth leaves right after not wanting to observe the heart-warming scene he knew was coming. Once the door closed Ara opens her eyes and looks around the room. Noticing Cian by her bed she gives him a bright smile.
"How long have I been out?" Sarah asked noticing they were the only two in the room.
"Almost 10 hours, if we didn't get the cure by the 13th you would have died. You are lucky that I really like you!" Cian replied heatedly.
"Why?" questioned Sarah tilting her head to the side.
"Cause if I was not, you would have died even with the cure, because no one would have willingly gave up their live for you since they don't know you like I do. For repayment of me having to put that disgusting cure in my mouth, you are now have to listen to all my complaints without sarcastic remarks." Cian smugly said with a laughing look in his eyes.
"I do that already. Well maybe not the sarcastic thing, though I'll try." Sarah said while laughing at his joke.
"Seriously though, do you feel any pain or have anything wrong with you?" he said looking over Sarah now that she looked more awake.
"No, though I have a weird craving for chocolate and burritos."
"Thank god the fever has broken then huh?"
"Indubitably."
*In Jareth's office*
"So you are the maid that gave Ara the pie?" Jareth asked looking his maid up and down.
"Yes Your Majesty. I did indeed give her the pie." Laurie replied bowing as she did.
"I don't believe you are the one who poisoned her though, you have been in my employment long enough for me to know that. So my question for you is who gave you that pie?"
"Moira Sire. She gave me the pie. She said it was for me, but when I looked at the pie and saw that it had berries in it, I could not except it due to my allergies."
"Wouldn't Moira have known about that since she has all the records of every maid in the castle?" questioned Jareth.
"I did not think of that sir, I am deeply upset that I did not." Laurie said demurely putting her head down.
"It's alright. I will deal with this accordantly. You may go." Jareth said waving his hand in a dismissive way.
Leaving the room hastily Laurie sighs after closing the door, having escaped any punishment for her oblivious part in the attempted murder of Ara. Back in the office Jareth devices a just punishment for his once loyal head maid.
A/N: Did you all like the fever dream? We figured we had to do one crazy chapter in our fanfic as a tribute to Jim Henson's crazy world we love so dearly. Plus our crazy imagination aka minds would not let us think of anything else until we wrote about it.

Me: Me too.
Elisabeth: But you don't like burrito's
Me: I could if Jareth and chocolate were involved
