Villains ball....
That sounds like it could be interesting...I think I could have fun at
something like that...I just need clothing....
I was thinking these things to myself as I rummaged through my closet.
I turned around to my bed and noticed something lying on my pillow.
It was a crystal. I picked it up and looked into it. Pig boi's face
appeared before me.
"All you need is an invitation Lady Delirium"
"I know that Piggy...are you going to give me one or are you going to
leave me here in my room to rot all night" Talking to Jareth always
puts me on edge...there's something about looking so perfect that
annoys me. "Well if you're nice to me I might be able to procure one
for you..." "Alright Jareth, you win. Would your royal highness be
so kind as to give his loyal servant an invitation to the ball" It
killed me to be so pleasant to him, but I WANTED an invitation!
"That sounds much better." A scrap of parchment wrapped in ribbon
appeared on the bed.
"Jareth, that's all well and good, but what am I going to wear to this
thing." Visions floated through my head of all these stunningly
beautiful girls in absolutely perfect dresses and hair and everything
else. I looked at my not perfect self in the mirror and sighed "I
don't think little old me will fit in very well at a big fancy ball."
"What about all that stuff in your closet?"
"I can't wear that to a fancy dress ball! That's all my Goth and
ren-faire clothing."
"Would you be willing to wear what I picked out for you?" I thought
about that one for a second. What ever he picked out had to be
better than what I had.
"As long as it isn't too disgustingly girly"
I felt a soft breeze and I looked down at myself. I was wearing a
white corset circa 1730 embroidered with crystals and silver thread.
I was also wearing the skirt Star wore in the Lost Boys; my legs were
incased in silver sparkling thigh-highs and knee high combat boots.
Around my neck was a black velvet collar with a matte black ring in
the center. Matching manacles were around my wrists. I was shocked.
"Jareth" I breathed "Lost Boys is one of my favorite movies, how did
you know I always wanted Star's skirt?"
"I know more than you give me credit for Lady Delirium, now all you
have to do is to do up your pretty face."
"But Jareth, who is going to take me to this thing...all the good
villains are already taken...Nny, Zillah, Molochai, Twig...Everyone
I would want to take me" "I wouldn't worry about that one" I could
hear his voice starting to fade "just do your makeup".
Well...he seemed to know what was going on; even if I didn't.
I went to my mirror and started to apply my face. By the time I was
done I was pretty pleased with the results. Dark lipstick the color
of dried blood, heavy eyeliner going down from the inside corner of
my eyes down the bridge of my nose. Typical for me...but with the
clothes pigg...excuse me Jareth had given me it looked wonderful. I
was admiring myself in the mirror when I heard someone clear his or
her throat behind me. I turned around to see David from the Lost Boys
standing there staring at me.
"I take it you are the one I am escorting to this dance"
"If you are the one Jareth sent then yes you are." My eyes were
bugging out of my head...This was DAVID! The most beautiful villain
I had ever seen (except for Jareth of course).
He reached to my bed and picked up the invitation. "I would suggest
that we would be going then" A portal opened in my wall and we
stepped through.
