Sorry about the hold up! Just almost over Finals, after that I'll update more often! Thanks!


Cherie POV

The alarm went off with an obnoxious ring and I quickly sat up and looked around the room. He wasn't there so I decided to shower and get dressed for a quick hike.

After I got back from the hike, I opened my door and found a cat sitting on the breakfast bar in the kitchen. It was a very handsome looking cat and I could tell it was a boy by the way it moved.

"How did you get in here, little guy?" I asked the cat, it came close and started to rub against my legs; I sat down and started petting him. He purred silently, but then he stopped and walked toward my room hissing.

Apparently the cat had heard someone in my room, so I decided to grab the bat from the hallway closet. Creeping in slowly, I was about to swing until I noticed who it was searching all my drawers, It was Jareth.

"Do you mind telling me why you're searching through my things Jareth, or do I have to send the cat on you?" I grumbled. He jumped and turned around, the cat still hissing.

"When did you get a cat?" he asked trying to change the subject. I picked up the cat and held it close; petting it so it would stop hissing.
"Answer my question and I'll answer yours."

"I was looking for my pendant; I lost it yesterday when I was sleeping with you."

My eyes widened in shock, what did he do to me while I slept. I didn't think he would take advantage of me, even though he is very perverted at times.

"Jareth, please tell me that you didn't do anything..."

"I would never do anything to you while you slept Cherie," He started to smirk and come closer to me, so naturally I backed up. He laid his hand on my waist and the cat started hissing again.

"But that doesn't me you didn't cuddle with me. Aw, sweet memories of the warmth from your body against mine, my hands around you, pulling you closer, and closer." he pulled me closer until I was up against his body, with the cat stuck in the middle of us.

He brought his face near mine and slowly lowered it down, but the cat, not liking his nearness, reached up and clawed Jareth's hand, which had been touching my cheek.

"Ow! What is wrong with that cat!"
The cat retreated and Jareth was standing and holding his hand close to him.

"Aw, did someone get an owie?"

"No, it just stings." he replied angrily.

"Well, if someone hadn't have come so close to me the cat wouldn't have clawed you now, would he. Can you please get out so I can get ready for the "Game Day"." Jareth pouted, but I then shooed him out the door, promising him if I saw his pendent I would call.

Quickly getting dressed, I heard a knock on the door. It was Erik, so I opened it and said hello with a quick hug. The cat came by and proceeded to cuddle Erik's leg until he would pet him.

"What an adorable cat! When did you adopt it?" he looked so happy playing with the cat. I sat down next to him and started petting it as well.

"I didn't adopt it, I found it in my apartment, but it seems to be a stray," I examined. The cat had nothing to identify it as someone else's.
"So I'll keep it."

The cat seemed to understand me because it cuddled my hand even more so. I stood back up and walked to the bathroom, fixing my hair into a messy bun.

I was having a little bit of trouble getting the rubber band to wrap one last time, but Erik helped me loop it around.

"Thanks." I said, he nodded and we both started to walk toward the door. We were both outside of my apartment when I asked him a question.

"Where are you guys having Game Day?" he smiled and reached for my hand.

"I'll show you." he whispered.
He guided me into the elevator and we went to the second floor. We walked some ways until we got to apartment 28B. Erik knocked and James answered the door.

"Oh, hello Erik, and hello again Cherie, I hope you enjoy today's Game Day." I smiled as he shook my hand and nodded politely. Erik took me around and introduced me to all the guys. He was about to introduce me to the girls when I saw my friend Eponine , sitting on a table with Luna and Hermione. I jumped and tackle hugged Eponine.

"Cherie! Where have you been this semester!" she shouted, giving me a death hug. She stopped and looked behind me to see Erik waving his hand and telling me he was going to talk to the guys for awhile. I smiled and waved back, while Eponine pulled me aside with the rest of the girls.

"It looks like someone's crushing on you!" she squealed in delight. I gave her a weird look and turned. No one has a crush on me, only if you count Jareth's obsessive stalking. I was brought out of thinking when Eponine started to poke my sides repeatedly.

"Who?" I whispered back. As soon as that word came out, I got smacked upside the head. Rubbing my head, Eponine growled in frustration.

"Are you blind Cherie! You just walked in with the guy!" she pointed wildly at him, and I immediately blushed and turned my face away from him.

"Oh, Cherie has a crush on someone also! This is just PERFECT!" she squealed again, Hermione and Luna seemed annoyed and decided to grab Eponine to make her sit and shut up. But Eponine couldn't control her excitement for very long, ten seconds later she pulled me close and went on about how we were going to get married and have all kinds of kids.

For revenge, I smacked her upside the head and told her to shut up and not say a word to anyone. She understood me when I raised my hand again, making it look like she was going to get hit. I sat back down, quiet and thoughtful, until Eponine pulled me aside again.
"You two are meant to be, just look at the way he watches you."

"But Eponine, have you forgotten the last girl he went after, she was a beautiful blond and French soprano and I'm just an Italian ,Spanish and Mexican girl with jet black hair trying to learn song and dance, I'm no where near as good as her." I sat back down in my chair and thought about how I'd never compare to Christine. Eponine then came from behind and gave me a hug.

"Cherie, you are beautiful amazing and talented, and don't forget that, and you have something Christine has never had, the ability to look past appearance and look into the heart and soul," I sighed, this causing Eponine to tighten her hug.

"So, is anyone up for a little game!" shouted Castor, excitedly.
