A/N: So this is going to be a series of generally unconnected one- and two-shots, inspiration from such random sources as song titles and my English professor. Hope you enjoy, and please review!

Sarah smiled as she twirled around her room to the music coming from the stereo. This was an altogether acceptable substitute for cleaning, she had decided, and was quite enjoying herself.

"Mornings of gold, Valentine evenings..." she hummed to herself as she moved around furniture. "Ah, love."

Jareth was fed up. He had waited years, and he was growing impatient. Watching as Sarah hummed along to a different song than the one playing on the radio, he smiled and with a touch of magic changed the next song. He smiled wider as she looked, startled at the stereo and whispered something he'd longer to hear. Or close enough, at any rate. He wasn't picky.

He disappeared in a puff of glitter.

Sarah stared at the radio as the song that had been playing moved into the next one, one was was sure had never been recorded. Shocked, she didn't even register that she'd spoken until after the fact.

"Jareth."

The aforementioned appeared with a burst of glitter and a smug smile, obviously pleased with himself already. She took one long look at him and waled away.

"Sarah?"

"Go away."

"Why should I?"

"Because I don't want you." He looked startled.

"You called me, precious, and I came."

"Yes, yes you did. But I don't want you here, or you, period." He looked confused now, and she shook her head.

"You're here. You're real. But maybe I don't want you to be." She looked at him with ancient eyes. "Seeing isn't believing. Seeing is where believing stops, because it isn't needed anymore."
