I was just sitting down to a very well earned cup of tea
when I noticed a flash of glitter out of the corner of my eye.
I decided to ignore it. After all, I didn't have snoopy. My bed may
have more stuffed animals than people on it, but it didn't have
Jareth's precious snoopy.
"I don't have it Jareth, I'm sorry" I turned around to look at him
and I saw the beginings of a tear begin to work it's way down his
face. In one hand was clutched a very well loved tigger doll, and the
other hand had a Love-a-lot care bear. He clutched the animals even
closer to his chest as I watched him.
"Do you know where he is?" His voice took the annoying whiny quality
of a small child.
"No Jareth, I don't. Believe me, If I had him I would give him to
you just to get you out of my bedroom!" I looked down and realized
that I was only in my pyjamas. An old, beat up cure shirt with
Robert Smith's face may have been comfy, but it was showing off more
of my thighs than I wanted the goblin king to see. I pulled at the
hem of the shirt, only to find that by doing that I was pulling the
neck down even farther showing off a bit too much clevage. "DAMN!
Jareth, turn around for a seccond!"
"Are you getting rid of me too?" He whined "Everyone else has
gotten rid of me"
"No." I sighed "I'm just going to get some more clothing on, now will
you PLEASE turn around!" Jareth turned around and I hunted up some
shorts. "Okay Jareth, coast is clear."
He turned around and looked at me. "Can I stay here tonight.
Please Lady Delirium?"
He clutched the toys even closer to him as he was talking, he was
going to shove them into his chest cavity pretty soon. "No one wants
me to stay with them."
He was tempting....but having a sniffling goblin king in my bed was
not my idea of fun for the night...and besides...my boi was coming
over soon, how was I going to explain Jareth to him. While I was
thinking Jareth headed over to my stuffed animal collection on my bed and started going through it.
"I already told you, he's not in there Jareth"
"Are you sure?" I was going to kill him if he whined one more time!
"Yes I'm sure." He started poking around the rest of the stuff in
my room. "What do you want Jareth?" This was getting annoying, and
my boi was going to be here soon!
He turned to me with my dream pillow in his hands. "Smell good"
"You really want that Jareth?" He nodded his head. "You're going
to end up looking like the junkyard goblin pretty soon! If I give
it to you will you leave?" He nodded his head again.
"Okay then, it's yours. Will you please go now!"
With another flash of glitter he was gone.
"showoff" I muttered as I went back to my bed and my tea.
