Chapter 2

Why hadn't she come to the window? Was she angry at him? He had kept their last two dates. What was wrong? He spread his wings and jumped off the branch. Jareth flew towards the park. Hopefully today would go well. Did Sarah know the hidden meaning behind the tradition; she had invited him to join in?

He landed on the top f the large black obelisk in the park. Well, he would wait until Sarah and her family arrived. He just prayed that no one would be wished away.

XOXOXOX

Sarah ran her brush through her hair and then pulled it back into a ponytail. She wore a flowy soft green dress that fell down to her knees and sensible flats. No make up covered her face. Only a light coat of lip gloss covered her lips. Taking one last glance at herself in the mirror, She nodded. She was finally ready. She was already starting to worry about the Egg Hunt would go."

A knock came at her door.

"Come in." She turned to face it.

The door opened and her father stuck his head in. "Ready, Sarah?"

"Yeah." She smiled at him.

Robert returned the smile. "Well, come on we don't want to be late to Church."

Sarah grabbed her small purse and followed him out.

In the front foyer, beside the door, Toby stood in a little suite and tie, clearly hating it. His mother stood beside him in a straight white dress that stopped at just above her knees and high heals on her feet.

Irene nodded as Robert and Sarah came down the stairs. "About time. Now we need to hurry or we'll be late."

There was of course plenty of time. Robert glanced back at his daughter. "Well, come on. Let's all get into the car."

Irene opened the door and marched out the door. "Come along, Toby."

Toby sighed and followed after his mother with his head down.

Robert and Sarah followed not too much later. Both were dreading the afternoon. Irene would almost ruin it for Toby, and they both knew it.

Thank you for the lovely reviews. I hope that these are as light and happy as the last ones of this series were. I like to think I've changed since last year in my writing.

So review if you please.
