Disclaimer:Er...do I REALLY have to go through this. *sees scary lawyers, who don't relent even during the season of giving* Ok! Ok! Er...I don't own Jareth. Or Sarah. Or the poem 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, or Emmy, or Koni. I just own ME!! And this version of the whole fiasco.*glares at evil lawers in their fancy Satan-provided suits* There, y'all happy?
Twas the night before Yule-tide
And all through the maze
Not a Goblin was stirring
They hadn't for days.
The castle was decorated
With magic and care
All the Underground Nobles
Soon would be there
Still his highness was nervous
His confidance down
His recent defeat by a mortal
Was the talk of the town
It didn't help matters
That Jareth had no date
He cursed Lady Destiny
He cursed Lady Fate
He cursed Lady Chaos
That insufferable being
Who had helped the young mortal
In her defeat of the King
When in rushed a goblin
Trembling and scared
He'd disturbed the King's silence
Not that Jareth really cared
"Your Highness!" he said
"There are two women here,
Who claim to want to
Make you happy this year!"
Then into the ballroom
Stepped the twins he'd just cursed
Destiny and Fate
The later spoke first
"We know you miss Sarah
And it's our dear sister's fault
So we thought we would warn you
That you'll soon be called."
Now Destiny spoke
So as to explain
Why this season would never
Make him unhappy again
"It's been fifteen years
But as we both know
You still see your defeat
As a quite recent blow.
It doesn't help matters
That in that time span
We sisters have cracked jokes
Again and again."
And then Koni continued
What Emmy had begun
As she explained further
What the sisters had done.
"'Tis the season of giving,
And for once, we'll be good,
Though it means Danalas
Doesn't act as she should.
She's gone to ensure
That Sarah calls you tonight."
And suddenly Chaos showed up
Looking ready to fight.
"Well," she said, "I did it.
"I got Karen quite mad.
If Sarah doesn't wish now,
She'll soon wish that she had.
So don't worry, Tights.
You'll have a date for the ball."
And just as she finished speaking,
Jareth heard Sarah's call.
