One song blended into two... or four, to be honest he had lost count. His shameless dancing had succeeded in getting him into full-on party mode, but one thing was missing. Well, a couple of things were missing but, besides alcohol, the others he was either trying to give up, or he had lost. 

Jareth made his way to the bar beside the dancefloor. It was decked out with gaudy party lights depicting flamingos and palm trees, but it worked for the venue. Jar wondered how far away he was from seeing his first real palm tree. He couldn’t wait to arrive to the first beach and get his ass in the sand. The flirtatious blonde bartender made her way to take his order. She was pretty, but just a tad too old for his tastes. [i]“What can I get yah, sugar?”[/i] she asked.

[color=darkgray]“Jack and coke, as hard as you can make it.”[/color] he said, mimicking her flirtation and adding a signature Jar-style wink. It came more naturally than he expected. Maybe he was finally ready to move on. The barkeep returned with his drink and told him to come back when he was running low. After taking a sip, Jar made his way to the outskirts of the dancefloor. Once the liquid courage had started to fill him up, Jar danced his way back into the undulating mass of bodies. A brunette beauty danced her way passed him in a tight black dress. Jar caught himself checking her out until she turned enough that he could see her face and he saw who she was. Shit, that was the girl in Hunter's picture… he hoped they didn’t end up running into each other again, the kid probably couldn’t take it. The coincidence made Jareth wonder if Clover might also be here. What would he do or say if he bumped into her [i]again[/i] ?

Jareth downed the rest of the drink and turned his eyes to the stage. Hell, he was going to live it up even if she [i]was[/i]  here, come what may… jealousy, regret, or maybe even a heated rekindling. Did he want that last thing? Maybe a little more than he’d like to admit, but he wasn’t going to limit his options. After setting his empty glass on the nearest table, Jar made his way to the stage. 

After browsing the karaoke song selection, he found the perfect one. It had a danceable beat, dirty undertones, and it was a genre that he was more comfortable singing than the numerous pop options. Once the current performer was done doing her rendition of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies”, Jar hopped up the steps and took the microphone.

The first few notes of the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPDcwjJ8pLg]song[/url] played in the large speakers behind him and he stared out into the crowd to prepare himself. It didn’t matter that he’d played in front of crowds before with Crim Son, he still gets stage fright when a show first begins. This was different though, he wasn’t used to not having a guitar while he sang… what was he supposed to do with his hands?

Well, there was no time to think about that now, because the lyrics bounced their way across the screen at his feet. Not that he needed the lyrics, Jar new the song just as well as any of these other young twenty-somethings, if not better! Once the first verse was under his belt, the crowd-pleasing stage persona took over. Jar danced his way across the stage in a combination of hops and hip shimmies, holding the wireless mic in his right hand while his left was raised high above his head.
