the bad decisions of a twisting heart and mind

lady

Jareth's eyebrows furrowed at what his new "girlfriend" presented him with. He was tired, about to go to sleep, when a horrible disgusting dirty ginger animal was placed in front of him.

"What is this?" He asked.

"Lady." Gwynplaine answered.

"What is Lady?" Jareth asked, he sounded skeptical.

"Lady is obviously a dog."

"I thought your mutt's name was Pluto." Jareth furrowed his brows.

"Lady isn't a real dog."

"So what is it then?"

"A teddy."

"A what?" He furrowed his eyebrows, judgementally.

"A teddy."

"I don't understand." Jareth declared.

"She is a stuffed animal! And she wants to sleep with us tonight."

"It's repugnant." He said.

"Stop being nasty I love her."

"It's repulsive and revolting and I refuse to allow it to sleep in my bed chambers." Jareth decided.

"Nor, Jareth, don't be nasty. Please!"

"I am not being "nasty", it is defiled, look at it!" He spoke, pointing at the dirty on her fur and the ink on her eyes.

"Stop you're making her insecure!" She whined, hiding lady's eyes with her ears.

"It is not real. It cannot be insecure."

"She's real to me and you're upsetting us both!"

"I don't care. It is not sleeping with me. Put it on the floor." Jareth stated, finally, and Gwyn could no longer argue, putting Lady down on the floor.

Jareth woke up, something light and fury on his naked chest.

His eyes opened, and as they adjusted to a light he noticed something on his chest.

He realised it was dirty and ginger.

Roldan?.. wait, No!...

Lady.

His mortal enemy.

He frowned and almost scoffed with disgust, he sat up quickly, his sleeping girlfriend on his chest making a noise of complaint as she retreated her arm from around his torso.

She woke moments later and sat up with him. "What?" She almost moaned, irritation and sleep lingering in her throat.

"That revolting thing was on me." He spoke, suddenly very awake.

"Eh?" She rubbed her eyes.

"The filthy beast."

"Roldan?"

"No! This ginger thing!"

"Roldan?"

"No, Lady!"

"Lady?"

"Yes."

"Awww, Jarjar, don't be nasty, she wanted to sleep with us!"

"You put it on me."

"Nor, she climbed up and sat on you cus she loves you so much."

"Gwynplaine, Lady is not real."
