"Why on Earth would you want me to throw a ball for your birthday? It's 3 months away," said Jareth.
"If I know Melissa, she'll want to unmask Lelouch before too long," I said. "It's what I would do if I was in her place."
"You naughty little devil you. 4laugh "
"I could say the same thing to you. Kissing some random girl like you're married to her when you're engaged to another. Now that's devilish. whee "
We kept going back and forth until Mat said, "Shut up! Both of you are seriously twisted, you know that?!"
I blushed and Jareth blew a raspberry at him. razz "Mat, don't you get it?" I said, less embarassed now. (Jareth is so cute when he acts immature. whee ) "She's coming back to you soon. Just like in the story. You are the "Raoul" figure of this "Phantom of the Opera" spin-off."
"It would seem that way," Jareth put in. "If that's the case, I suggest that Mat practice his swordsmanship as often as possible until Melissa's return. He'll need it."
"Hey, does this have anything to do with that dream I had before this thing started?" Mat asked. "Now that I think about it, I was fighting Lelouch in the graveyard."
"It has everything to do with that dream," I said. "I'll tell you the more detailed version of Phantom's story when we get back home."
"I can help you with that," Jareth said. He waved his hand in front of the magic mirror and the surface went all watery. "Step through. It leads back to Anastasia's grotto."
"The boys?" I asked. I had almost forgotten about them, what with all the heartbreak, anger, and conflicting emotions going on in the room.
"They're waiting for you. Now go. I have a ball to plan."
We stepped through the mirror and came out of the full length mirror by the door of my grotto. Flet and Jet rushed to greet us, brimming with questions about what we had seen. I decided that they had been in the dark long enough and that Mat and I would tell them everything, as long as they promised not to tell a soul.
Many cups of hot chocolate and plates of munchies later, the moon was high in the sky. Mat went outside to practice his fighting and Jetsam said that it was time that everyone else was in bed. I put on my silky lingerie and got into bed. (It was one of those nights where I was hoping to dream of a handsome man in bed beside me.)
I dreamed not of my clamshell bed that night. I was in a bed shaped like a swan, with red velvet sheets and a black lace curtain. I wasn't alone in there either; I turned to my left side, hoping to see Jareth's sky blue eyes staring back at me.
Great was my surprise as to who I saw there. Instead of Jareth, with his gold and silver hair, strong arms, and washboard abs, beside me was a young man with raven hair, lithe limbs, and eyes so dark they looked almost violet. I should have screamed at the sight of Lelouch, but I was entranced that he looked so good clad in so little. "Just think," he told me. "Jareth will never dare to intrude on us again. He's much too busy with that silly little sea-witch to even think about you."
Wait! Was he refferring to me?! evil confused If I wasn't even in this dream, who was lying with Lelouch in this bed? "Oh Lelouch. I'm so glad you took me away from her," I said, but the words were not my own. "She just doesn't understand the meaning of being true in love."
"Oh but I do, my darling. I do, my most beloved Melissa."
That was the last thing I heard before I woke up in a cold sweat. I ran out the open door of my bedroom and jumped into the pool in a graceful swan dive. I submerged without a splash, but it still woke up Flet and Jet.
After getting over the fact that I was wearing lingerie, they swam to my side. "What's the matter?" they said in unison.
"Melissa's not only dancing with him," I told them, my voice on the edge of a moan. "Now she's sleeping with him!"
I would have cried but there are no tears underwater. Even still, Flet and Jet held me between them as if I would shatter if they let go. "Do you want us to sleep with you tonight?" Flotsam asked. Jetsam and I looked up at him, shocked. "Not to do what Melissa's doing of course."
How could I say no? I was in desperate need of the XY chromosome beside me right now, and Mat was out training for his confrontation with Lelouch. A double dose couldn't hurt. The final thing I thought before drifting off that night was, 'I am really lucky to have you guys around.' I didn't expect them to hear me, but I heard Flotsam tell me 'Thank you' in his thoughts. After that, a dark and dreamless sleep fell upon us and I slept like a sea-cucumber for the rest of the night.
