Continued from "Labyrinth" the film

As in the movie, Sarah says the line she can never usually remember and Jareth falls, as does she. Everything goes black.

Sarah woke up in a giant bed in a bedroom that definitely wasn't hers. She took a moment to look around at the stone castle walls of the room, the huge windows, the door that led to a balcony, the beautifully detailed canopy bed she lay in with the blue velvet and silk bedding, and the beautiful different accents around the room like the blue velvet chairs with the mahogany coffee table, the detailed fire place, and the roses that were seemingly everywhere in some small detail or another. At first she is extremely confused. Wasn't she supposed to be home?

Then she saw him. Jareth was there; standing next to a huge mahogany door with his arms crossed, a smirking, smug look on his face. Again she's quite shocked, and further confused, though as she looks back on the moment, she doesn't know why.

"Sarah, my dear girl, why do you look so surprised?" Jareth spoke to her with arrogant, feigned confusion, smiling. As if he didn't know why she didn't understand.

Sarah briefly explained what she thought was supposed to have happened. How she wanted to wake in her own bed, with her Toby back home, and her new friends always near. Also, he was supposed to leave her alone. Sarah wasn't used to explaining things as awkwardly as she had. The shock hadn't worn off enough for her to speak as confidently as she had wanted too.

Jareth just laughed. "Oh, my dear sweet Sarah, this is not some silly dream, or the fairy tale ending to your adventure you wished for. This is the beginning of the fairy tale that I wished for."

Sarah is still confused; she feels as she did before, when she had eaten that strange fruit from Hoggle. She demanded to know what was going on.

He, proudly stated he had staged the whole thing, to get her to fall almost willingly into his hands in the castle. "I did have fun, I must admit." He laughed as her face turned immediately betrayed, though he hadn't really betrayed her in anyway. He had only used her need for adventure, and love of the book to draw her near.

Sarah was fed up. She wanted this to end how she had wanted it. She did not like to be played with, like it was all just a game as he had treated it. "Why do you want me here?!" she demanded angrily.

Jareth thought for a moment, and came up with something he thought would suffice. "For the same reason the sun wants the moon, my beloved."

Sarah rolls her eyes and then glares at him. "I don't understand."

The look on Jareth's face only indicates he is enjoying himself still. "Isn't it obvious, Sarah? The sun keeps all the stars and heavenly beings shining brightly and happily, yet he picks one, just one, to be the moon. She's the most beautiful of all the beings, and his favorite. But she is nothing with out him. She would not shine with out him."

Sarah finds his comparison stupid, and not well thought through. "So why did he pick her then?"

"Because he loves her," he stated. There was a hint of bitterness and regret in a small part of the simple sentence, but it was spoken with an intensity that had Sarah wondering what was going to happen to her.

Sarah replied slowly. "Yes I get that part, but why does he need her?"

Jareth had to think a moment, to make his comparison work continuously into the conversation. "She lights the darkness that he cannot over the Earth he rules."

Sarah knew how impatient he could be. She decided to try and break his attempt at going on with his silly comparisons. "There is more than one moon, you know. For all those other planets, they all have many moons."

Jareth spoke with a small edge of anger to his voice. It had worked. His patience waned a bit. "Those planets have no life upon them. He rules them, but doesn't care about them. They don't matter. Those moons have tried to light the earth and have failed. You, my dear, are the one: the tried and true earth's moon; the sun's prized possession, finally found to help him and be loved by him, and him alone."

Sarah reviews what he's said, trying to find another way to disagree wtih him. "So the sun has finally picked a moon to light the earth's darkness that he could not… and…"

Jareth, frustrated quite a bit at this point, cuts her off. "Yes, and he loves her so; yet, she insists on staying where she is. She insists on revolving around the earth instead of revolving around him like the rest of the universe is doing!"

Sarah finds, again, much error in his logic. She pulls out the facts instead of going with his symbolism. "You do know that the stars don't revolve around the sun right? And you know that the stars are all lit by themselves, and many of them are bigger than the sun. Not to mention those other planets moons don't revolve around him either, and…"

Jareth cuts her off again, raising his voice at her. "But everything in HIS solar system does revolve around him… except for you. The other moons he has cast away from him. He doesn't want them revolving around him like a cult, as they used to, following him around and worshipping him in any way they could, begging him for his love."

Sarah is thoroughly enjoying his frustration; she speaks with her normal confidence. She thinks that maybe he will send her back if she can prove to be more trouble than she's worth. Not to mention she didn't fully understand the situation yet anyway, and that irritated her. She wanted him to speak in plain English and tell her everything he was planning. "And what about outside of his solar system?"

Jareth clenches his teeth and practically growls the words. "Don't you see?!? It doesn't matter to him anymore! He's so … so infatuated that his only focus is the moon. He dreams of the day he can get the earth out of the way! It seems she would rather be on it, with it…"

Sarah cuts him off this time. "And how does he plan to do that?"

Jareth's normal era of 'I've got everything in my control' is gone. "He'll turn the solar system to revolve around her. HE'LL revolve around her. Revolve around her the closest, and knock the earth clear out of the galaxy. He is afterall able to offer her so much more… Everything she dreams of."

Sarah giggles. "He'll have nothing to control anymore if he knocks he earth out."

Jareth glares at her and then shifts his focus to the wall. He crosses his hands over his chest and leans back against the wall. "He'll only focus on lighting her and her alone!"

Sarah says, matter of factly: "And she'll always have a dark side that he can not light."

Jareth throws his hands down and steps forward, unleashing his anger thru his eyes at her, she flinches back. "Can I not win?!? I have been so patient with your difficult hard-headed self! Is my love not enough to make you complacent?!? I couldn't see before why this Jareth fellow in your book went to such measures and things, but I can see your precious books background conflict now! I honestly feel bad and can relate to this other Jareth! Is my fate the same as his? He asked so little but I ask nothing! Nothing of you but love! Is it really so difficult?!? I would give you it all. The world! The solar system! I'd sell my body, heart, soul and mind for you!"

Sarah is slightly set back. She doesn't want to bring his wrath down on her, but she doesn't believe he'd do anything to her. She refuses to believe he loves her. It must be a sick game to… accomplish something he wants. She couldn't imagine why he was getting so worked up. "There wouldn't be much left of you then, now would there be? And I am not difficult! But I will never be complacent with your absurd requests!"

Jareth takes another step forward. "Must you argue with everything I say?"

"If you'd say something that made sense, maybe I'd not have to argue!"

Jareth begins shouting again. He is obviously as upset about his inability to have control over this situation as he is with her responses. "Love doesn't make sense! This love I have for you even I don't understand! If I didn't love you so deeply, I wouldn't be able to stand you!"

Sarah tries not to laugh. "See! That makes no sense whatsoever! Nothing you say makes sense!"

Jareth sighed, thinking seriously about giving up; he closed his eyes and spoke calmly. "Just… The only thing that you need to know, the only thing you need to hear, the only thing you need to take into merciful consideration, is my love. I love you, Sarah, completely and unconditionally. I don't know why. It's obvious you aren't taking this seriously though." He turns and leaves; she hears the door lock behind him.

She falls back into the bed, lying back down. She wills herself asleep, hoping she'll wake up at home, this being just a strange nightmare to accompany her adventure.

Review if you want too. I know I suck. Don't be too harsh. Tips would be nicer than name calling, please lol
