Together at last P3

   This was serious. Sarah was being wooed by a sparkly vampire with huge eyebrows.

"Eri...Er...K...K..." Jareth grabbed the front of Erik's shirt, not taking his eyes off Sarah.

"Breath in." Erik said calmly. "This is not a code red yet." Erik was trying to sound calm but even he was starting to feel panicked.

"Yes...it...is!!!" Jareth snarled through gritted teeth. "For him!"

  Jareth started stalking towards the vampire, preparing to rip his heart out and feed it to his goblins.

"This isn't going to be good." Erik said, cringing just a little.

  Jareth moved towards his target. He had every intention of destroying this man's very being and dragging his soul back to the goblin city where it would rot in the Bog Of Eternal Stench forever. Yes, that thought made him very happy.

  Before he could do this, though, Sarah looked up and saw him coming with murder on his face. Her eyes grew wide and she grabbed Edward and pushed him behind her.

"Don't you dare." She challenged the goblin king.

"Don't I dare, what?" Jareth asked, he was still angry but also hurt.

"Don't you dare do what ever you are thinking. I can see it in your eyes. You leave him alone." She jabbed her index finger at him and narrowed her eyes.

  The two of them held each others stare, neither one wanting to be the first to break it.

"Um? Excuse me?"

  Jareth and Sarah turned to stare at Edward. He smiled politely.

"Hi. I appreciate you trying to protect me." He said to Sarah. "But I can handle myself." He gave Jareth the once over, and smirked.

"Oh really?" Jareth asked with mock wonderment.

"Yeah." Edward returned with an arrogant sneer.

  Now it was Jareth's turn to smile.

"No!" Sarah cried, she turned to Jareth. "Seriously, when are you going to grow up? You can't go around stalking me all the time. Get real!"

Jareth gave them both a smile. He slipped his arm around Sarah's waist and  turned to Edward.       

"Perhaps you weren't aware, but this is my girl and I'd like you to back off."

"You're girl?" Sarah asked, shocked at the sudden turn of events.

"I'm sorry, I was under the impression that she was with me." Edward took a step forward.

"With you, I just met you!"Sarah was getting concerned.

"Perhaps you'd like to handle this like gentlemen?" Jareth asked, as if he was asking the sparkly vampire to tea.

"Love to."

  Jareth pushed Sarah to the side lines and took a relaxed stance in front of his new enemy. Edward had both his fists in the air, bouncing from foot to foot, like a boxer.

  "Do something!" Sarah begged Christine.

"Like what? These two won't be stopped." Christine answered her friend. "Oh no!"  She had just noticed Erik standing outside the crowd, glaring at Raoul, who had also noticed Erik and had his hand on his saber.

  Once the girls realized the situation they were in and threw their hands up and sighed.

"Good grief!"

"Sacrebleu!"

  "Good evening, Erik" Raoul began.

Erik did not respond.

"I hope you aren't going to cause a scene like your friend there."

Erik remained silent.

"Are you still drooling after Christine? Really? I would have thought you would have given that up by now. I won,Erik, admit it."

Still no answer, Erik just watched as his friend prepared for battle.

Realizing that Erik would not rise to insults, Raoul also turned to watch the fight about to take place.

  Jareth wasn't really sure what Edward was trying to do, but it was kind of funny looking. He was circling Jareth, making mock jabs in the air. He wasn't at all sorry it had come to this. He would gladly fight for Sarah every day for the rest of his life, if that's what it took to prove to her how much he loved her. This was getting boring. It was time for some action. As Edward made another lap around Jareth, the goblin king struck like a snake. His fist flew and made it's target with the vampire's face.

"Ow!" Edward cried, holding his jaw.

"Duh!" Jareth said, rolling his eyes. "I'll try to punch nicer from now on."

  This infuriated the vampire who lunged at Jareth. Jareth made a quick side step and tripped Edward, sending him flying. Edward got back to his feet and brushed himself off. He looked over at Sarah who was watching him with disgust. He wasn't making a good impression.

"Aagh!" He lunged for the goblin king again and actually managed to snare him around the waist and drag him to the ground. He heard Sarah gasp and the crowd cheer.

  Erik and Raoul watched from the side lines as the two men rolled around on the floor taking shots at each other.

"They're not very good at this." Raoul said casually.

  Erik gave Raoul a sideways glance. "Jareth will win."

"How can you say that? He fights like a girl!" Raoul gestured with his arm at the scene on the floor. Edward had Jareth by the fuzz-mullet and Jareth had a grip on Edward's greasy hair-do. They proceeded to kick the snot out of each other.

"Excusez-moi?" Erik roared. "Pardon, did you just call Jareth a girl?! You, sir are the fille!"

"Oh really?!?!"

"Say what you want about me, but for the sake of your health you leave my friend out of it!" With out any warning Erik decked Raoul. It was a knockout with one swing.
