It took Sarah about an hour to get her room back to normal so that her dad or Karen would ever know that there was a party. Once she cleaned up, she walked across the hall to Toby's room. He was blissfully asleep, unaware of the events that occurred that night and the sacrifices his sister made for him. Sure, she partially regretted wishing him away, but if she hadn't she never would have met her friends or… never would have fallen in love. Yes, she had fallen in love with the goblin king.
"but that doesn't matter anymore." Sarah though as she walked back to he room. "After what I said tonight he probably never wants to see me again."
"And how do you know what I want?"
Sarah turned around to see Jareth leaning against her window. She hardly recognized him. He didn't look like the same arrogant, selfish and not to mention handsome goblin king. His face looked worn out and tried. He looked like an ordinary guy… who had been left inconsolable…and yes he was still handsome. He sat down on her windowsill and pulled something out of his pocket. Sarah gasped when she realized what it was. Her letter.
"Did you mean it?" asked Jareth.
"About me being sorry?" asked Sarah. She knew what he meant but purposely pretended not to.
"Of course I did. I really didn't…"
"No." interrupted Jareth. "The part when you…"
"Said I loved you?" answered Sarah, sitting down beside him.
"Yes." Sighed Jareth, reluctant to hear what her response would be.
"…yes." whispered Sarah. Jareth lifted his head from his hands and looked at her. He opened his mouth to talk but before he could say anything Sarah silenced him with a kiss.
"I'm sorry." She blushed, looking down at her feet.
"I didn't know if I ever would have the chance again and after tonight I thought you hated me and then I …" it was Jareth's turn to silence her.
"Has anyone told you that you talk too much?" he laughed.
"Only once." Replied Sarah.
"And I could never hate you" said Jareth.
"Does this mean I'm forgiven?" wondered Sarah.
"Only as long as I am my darling." stated Jareth, as they both leaned in for another kiss…only to be interrupted by the sound of Toby crying.
"Don't worry I got him." yawned Sarah's dad, unsure if anyone else was awake.
"Care for a walk milady?" whispered Jareth, holding out his hand.
"Why of course noble sir." Laughed Sarah taking his hand and climbing out the window.
They walked to the park hand in hand until it started to rain. So they found shelter underneath a huge tree. They spent ages just lying there in each others arms talking. Sarah lay across Jareth's lap, playing with his fingers. He used the other hand to stroke her hair.
"Do you regret wishing Toby away?" asked Jareth.
"Not really." replied Sarah. Jareth was a little surprised.
"Really why not?" he wondered
"Well I do a bit, but if you think about it; if I hadn't I never would have found you." explained Sarah. Jareth smiled down at her and kissed her on the top of her head.
"But you do understand why I did it don't you?" asked Sarah.
"You couldn't risk your brother's life for your own happiness." answered Jareth.
"Yeah… by the way. Would you have really turned him in to a goblin if I had failed?"
"Of course not!" laughed Jareth. Sarah thought for a moment.
"There's still a problem." She sighed sadly.
