Silence some long for it but it's not my wish.The ball begins within the hour suitors are lined and are dressed to impress.I sigh I have not heard from the man that makes this heart beat,the one that controls it's rythm.My door creaks open and I know it's not him he would have simply sparkled in,if he had wanted to. I turn around and give a half-hearted smile to the goblin,after he is not apart of my pain."Hello Snook"I say politely. The little creature smiles and bounces up and down "Nice to see lady,""Lady looks pretty"he says with a toothy grin."Thank you Snook"I say
I look to the moon and the stars and admire their beauty and something in me snaps I can't wait for him,and he must realize it.I"ll give him till tomorrows first light,then I'll forget him."I'll try to"those words slip out of my mouth. Snook looks at me"What did lady say" I shake my head "Nothing Snook,but I'm afraid my introduction will be changed "The goblin gives her a confused expression.
"Snook can you transport me into the middle of the ballroom floor?' The golblins eyes widen and shakes his head yes.I smile at him "Brilliant my friend,now will you please do me a favor and fetch me a different mask?"No sooner were the words spoken did he disappear.I bite my lower lip and smile before I begin to fix my hair into a bun."Elegeant introduction be damned " I mutter as I changed into a tighter dress and leotard.I give a glance in the mirror and make sure my hair is secure,and that my makeup is not smudged.


I sit on my bed and start to tie my black pointe shoes to my feet,just and snook enters the room I can see he brought a companion Eek.They both bounce to my side and hand me a blue masquerade mask the so happened to match my dress.Both goblin let out ooohs and ahhhs."Eek please give this sheet of music to the muscians and tell them to start playing it immediately after I am introduced".
Eek smilled and bowed and took the sheet off to deliver the message.I rise up and down nervously on my shoes."Snook lets wait somewhere else ok "I didn't want Jareth to see me till after I went through with this.Snook led me to some unknown room in the castle. The only inhabitants was a grand piano that had a window nearby with a spectacular view."Why dance"Snook asks innocently
"It's just something I want to do "I say shrugging him off.
The music begins and names of introduction are bellowed I let out a breath of air that I didn't know I was holding.This performance was for him.Minutes pass but they seem like hours till finally mine is called.Snook comes to take my hand but before we transport I secure my mask and whisper"Jareth I love you,and this is for you my love."and then we transport into the middle of the ballroom.
There is a gasp of surprise but from the corner of my eye I see Jareth it made my heart leap.



I didn't have time to read his reaction for the orchestra started playing and then I started to dance.I put my heart and soul into it like never before my movements were swift and graceful,sure and honest.I put emotion and pride into my dance as well at the end I stopped and looked to the sky and gestured with my right hand to the stars.The applause started and my eyes looked to Jareth.



This was the music Sierra was dancing to.
