Well, here is chapter 5. I have some news. With this chapter TurkeyBaster is finished. I did it. I finished it before Thanksgiving. I may begin work on the Christmas story on my way up to my aunt's house for the holiday and during the day. I plan to take my writing notebook with me for something to do. This is going to be a hard Thanksgiving, with the loss of my uncle this summer. I'm guess no football on the TV this year, but maybe my aunt will my cousin play some music off of the TV. Also, later this week is the Iron Bowl, a game I've waited for since last year. It looks really good for Alabama to beat Auburn this year. Yeah! I won't be watching. I don't watch the games, I jinx my team if I do. I may upload a pic of my holiday decorations, but my camera's not great.

Now for the reviews for chapter 4 as of time of update.

Chapter 5

Jareth turned to face the table. He glared at the goblin looking at him in shock and fear. "What are you doing here?"

The little goblin dropped the object in his hand. Unknown to him it was called a turkey baster, and it was not a weapon, but a utensil used to help keep a turkey moist. His mouth opened and closed, but no sound came from him.

Sarah screeched, "my clothes! They're covered in turkey juice!" She turned and faced the goblin. "Squeak, what's going on?"

Squeak looked up at her, begging her not to harm him. "Me was scared by noise. Me no mean to."

"Noise?" Sarah listened. "The pie's done." Sighing, she smiled softly at Squeak. "It's all right."

"It is not all right, Sarah."

"Jareth, the timer spooked him. It gets me on occasion, too." She turned to face him. "Can't you just magic our clothes clean?"

Jareth sighed. "I can, but still ..."

"Just do it." She looked back at Squeak. "Hand it over, Squeak."

Squeak reluctantly handed over the unknown turkey baster. "Sorry, Lady."

"It's all right. Now go back to my room and stay out of sight till I tell you."

"Kay, Lady."

Squeak quickly got off the table and disappeared out of the room.

Meanwhile, Sarah turned back to Jareth. "Clean us up all ready. I need to get the pie out."

Jareth quickly gestured with his hand, causing their wet clothing to dry and not to smell of turkey. "Happy now."

"Much. Now if you'll excuse me." Sarah walked out of the dinning room and into the kitchen.

As soon as Sarah was out of the room, Jareth grinned. He may not have been able to punish the goblin, but Sarah had done a good job in taking charge of the situation. Also, never had a goblin apologized before, as far as he knew, or at least to him. Sarah was a good influence on his goblins. He heard the sound of the back door opening and closing. Well, he might as well go begin the introductions.

"Hey, Babe, a guy could get used to seeing you in the kitchen."

Ah, that had to be Trevor. Jareth walked over to the entry way of the kitchen. Looking in, he held back a growl. Trevor was trying to wrap himself around Sarah.

XOXOX

Sarah tried to pry Trevor's hands and arms off of her. "Get away from me, Trevor."

Trevor laughed as he pulled her closer to him. "Oh, come on, Babe. There's no boyfriend. Stop pretending."

"Trevor, let me go."

"Oh, Babe, you really know how to play hard to get." Sarah kept struggling, but he only held on to her tighter. "Babe, why fight it? Everyone thinks we'd be a perfect couple. Come on, Babe, give us a little kiss."

Sarah struggled harder. "Let me go, right now, Trevor. You'll regret it if you don't."

"I'll regret it? I doubt that, Babe."

Jareth caught Sarah's eye as he walked into the room. Sarah stopped struggling against Trevor. Oh, please let him have heard her telling him to let her go.

"Now that's it, Babe. Now we can get to know each other a little better." Trevor pulled her even tighter against him.

"If I were you, I would listen to the lady."

Sarah slowly released her breath. She did warn him.

Trevor turned to face Jareth, who now stood in the kitchen. A sneer appeared on his face as he looked Jareth up and down. "Who the hell are you?"

"I am Sarah's boyfriend. Who may I ask are you?"

Sarah once again began to struggle from Trevor's grasp, but he held tight.

"Oh, this is nice. How much is she paying you to show up and "claim" you're her boyfriend? I'll double it if you'll leave right now."

"She is paying me nothing which you can double. So he is Trevor, Sarah?"

Still struggling, Sarah nodded.

"Now I do believe she has asked you to release her. It would be wise to do so?"

Trevor sneered. "You're not her boyfriend. She doesn't have one. She just needs to do as my aunt says ans start dating me."

"I don't have to any thing Irene tells me. Now let me go, Trevor." Sarah struggled hard against him.

"Oh, you need to start doing as she says or you'll regret it."

Sarah glanced at Jareth. Now, what was she to do? She couldn't wish Trevor to the goblins. There was no way she was going to run for him. The jerk.

Jareth smirked. "You had your chance to release her."

"Dude, you are starting to tick me off."

Jareth shrugged. "I did try to warn you."

Vaguely, Sarah heard the sound of many tiny feet coming closer. Here comes the goblins.

"CHARGE!" A battalion of armor clad goblins scampered from the foyer entry towards her and Trevor.

Fita jumped on to Trevor's head and began to hit him with her small spoon. "Let go of the Lady, you brute!"

Goblins hit him pans, sticks, anything they had. Some were attacking with mugs still filled with ale.

Sometime during the scuffle, Trevor had released Sarah. After being finally released, she had gingerly walked over to Jareth's side. Now she stood with the Goblin King watching his subjects attacking Trevor.

"When were they all hiding?" Sarah glanced at Jareth.

"I don't know, but you did get away from him."

"How are we going to explain this?"

Jareth laughed. "Don't worry. The lesson will remain, but he won't remember the goblins."

"Good, cause I have no idea how to explain this."

Jareth wrapped an arm around Sarah's waist and pulled her closer to him. "Don't fret, Precious. All will be well."

Sarah sighed. "It better be."

The pair stood watching as Trevor threw goblins off him and then two more minutes, Jareth gestured with his hand and the goblins disappeared. Trevor looked at them with an odd look in his eyes.

Trevor shook his head and mumbled, "why did I come in?"

Sarah gave Jareth's cheek a quick kiss. "You're brilliant."

Jareth smiled. "I know."

Not too much later the rest of the Maxwell clan came into the house. Followed by the other three Williams. Some looked at Trevor shaking his head, while others looked at Sarah and Jareth.

Irene moved towards them, slightly annoyed. "Sarah, who's this?"

Well, here it goes. "This is my boyfriend Jareth."

Irene looked him up and down. "So you weren't lying."

"No, I wasn't."

Marie stepped up next to her sister. "Why is he here? Sarah, did you invite him?"

Jareth released his arm from around Sarah's waist. "I'm sorry, mam. See I didn't know today was a holiday. I came to see Sarah, and she invited me to dinner. Sorry, for any confusion."

Marie nodded. "No harm done. There's plenty of room and food." She turned to her sister. "Right, Irene?"

Irene looked from Jareth to her sister. Her distaste clearly seen on her face. "Yes, there's room and food." But Sarah knew she didn't want to share neither with Jareth.

After the meeting, most forgot about Jareth for awhile. Not by any of the Williamses or Marie. Robert Williams kept trying to size up his daughter's boyfriend. Toby kept trying to remember where he had seen him before. Irene. Now Irene Maxwell Williams keep giving him looks of hate, distrust, and pure anger. Her sister on the other hand treated Jareth as part of the family.

Jareth remained by Sarah's side through out the rest of the day. Neither one minded that on one really paid him much mind. Of course, Sarah wanted to glare at Irene. Wasn't she the one wanted her to date? Well, she was. So what if it wasn't her perfect, well at least to her, nephew.

The day went by almost perfectly. Except for Toby grabbing hold of his fork, standing up in his chair, and yelling "KIDNEYS!" at the top of his little lungs.

At about eight that night the family began to leave. Irene was cheerful as her family left, out as it soon was only Jareth left that cheerfulness disappeared. She disappeared into the kitchen, leaving Robert, Toby, and Sarah to entertain Jareth. Robert of course asked all of the normal father to date questions, which Jareth answered expertly with mentioning the truth for the most part. Not too much later, Toby was sent up to bed.

Before nine o'clock, Sarah stood on the front porch with Jareth alone.

"Well, today didn't go as bad as I thought it would." Sarah leaned back against the door jam.

"I actually thought your step mother was going to dis-invite me."

"Me, too. Thank goodness for Marie."

"She didn't seem too upset at the fat that you weren't going to date her son."

"It was always more Irene than her."

Jareth sighed. "I did have a good time."

Sarah smiled softly. "So you're first Thanksgiving wasn't too bad?"

"Very much since I got to spend the day with you."

Sarah sighed. "So when will I see you next?"

"I'm not sure. When it is your next holiday?"

"Next month."

"Ah, yes, something about Christ."

"What about another date?"

"I don't know when I'll be free, right now. I'll send word when I can set soemthing up, but may I have permission to contact you with the mirror like your friends?"

"Sure, just give me some warning, first."

"As my lady wishes."

Sarah moved away from the door jam. "So how exactly do you plan to get back?"

"The woods across the way."

"Oh."

Jareth smiled. "Don't worry no one will see me transform."

"K."

Jareth leaned over her. "I will try to send word to you as soon as I can."

"I'll be waiting."

Jareth quickly kissed her. "Till next we meet, Precious."

Sarah watched as Jareth disappeared into the woods and then not too much later as a golden white barn owl flew out and soared up towards the sky. Smiling, she opened the front door and walked back inside. Now everyone knew she had a boyfriend and would leave her alone about dating. Hopefully they could have another date before Christmas.


Well, there is the end of this story. We're going to have another round of bad storms down here in Alabama. I'm already praying nothing too bad.

Now review for the last time for TurkeyBaster if you please.
