AN: Hello everyone, sory I haven't updated in such a long time you see, I got a new laptop and I had to get my data transferred from the old one into the new one. So that is why everything took so long. Anyway, here is the fourth chapter as promised, and I know I don't usually do these in this story but I felt that I had to explain myself. I do not own the rights to The Labyrinth, but I do own my created characters. Enjoy! RnR is most appreciated!!!!

Now that Alison was back in the Underground, she felt more at home, though her mind did wander off as to why her husband had insisted on visiting his father alone. Was he afraid of something and did not want to tell her? Or was it the fact that she had left the Underground that he did not want his family to think ill of her? Whatever the reason was, she was going to find out...after she checked in on Sarah. Walking though the winding stone corridors, she found her way easily to her sister's new inhabitance.

"Sarah? Are you alright?"

"Yes Ali I'm fine. This room is incredible!"

Alison smiled, "I'm glad you like it. Are you hungry?"

"Yes...a little,"

"Then come on out, I'll have some of the goblins prepare you something to eat."

The Queen heard shuffling of feet, and a few moments later Sarah appeared at the door in a dress two dress sizes larger than what she fit in.

"Oh Sarah! I think you may need a smaller dress," she laughed at her younger sister's blushing face.

"I was looking for something more presentable for me to wear to meet your in-laws," the teenager admitted, her eyes showing her shyness.

Alison sighed, "Well, Sarah, you're not meeting them in a dress like that, I can't even see your hands!" she entered the room and headed straight for the wardrobe, taking out three dresses that were Sarah's size.

"Pick one and go try it on, then let me see how it fits."

The young girl disappeared into the adjoining room, while Alison sat down on the bed, admiring how her sister grew so comfortable to the lifestyle of royalty, then again, she had always been the one with the wild imagination: dressing up in hand-made costumes, acting out her own stories, reading fantasy novels, it was as if Sarah Williams had lived in the Underground all her life.

"I like this one," the young girl came out in an emerald green dress that hung loosely around her body, elongating her body and making her look as etherial as her sister.

The Queen nodded, "And it fits perfectly, now, lets get you something to eat before Jareth comes back so you're ready to go."

"Jareth, how could you possibly go chasing after her Aboveground?!"

"She's my wife! That's why I went after her! I love her!"

"You are to take the throne soon and I will not have you galavanting after humans!"

"She's not human anymore surely you know that more than anyone!"

"Enough both of you! This is getting us nowhere arguing, Hethro will attack any day now and you two better come to an agreement!"

Jareth stood in the throne room of the kingdom of Glacerieulo, his father and mother sat before him, their mismatched interrogating eyes staring down at him in understanding and disblief.

"Father, please listen to me, Alison left to be with her family, you understand how much she was needed there! She needed to be with her sister!"

"Whom you subsequently brought down here without any thought in the action! She is not fae she will not last long in Glacerieulo!"

"Then she will not come! I won't put my wife under any more distress! Hethro has done enough as it is!"

Jareth's mother stood, walking down to his son and placing a loving hand on his shoulder, "Jareth, you're father cannot do this anymore, you need to take the throne now, no matter what Hethro will do afterwards. He is too sick darling, surely you have listened to Alison enough to understand that she understands the importance of the situation?"

The Goblin King nodded, "Yes mother, I have."

"Aurelia do not encourage him! He's done wrong and he should understand that!"

Mismatched blue eyes met mismatched silver, "What have I done wrong, father?! Chasing after the woman I love is a crime?!"

"Gautier, please listen to your son," Aurelia's mismatched lavender and amethyst eyes met her husband's sorrowful gaze.

Gautier sighed, "Bring Alison here, but I do not want the human girl in Glacerieulo...we don't need her catching any illnesses that she cannot treat when she returns Aboveground."

Jareth nodded, "Thank you father, mother, I shall return soon," and with that, the Goblin King returned to the Labyrinth, leaving his parents alone.

"Jareth!" Alison sprung out of her throne to meet her husband, throwing her arms around him, "Is everything alright?!"

The King nodded, "My dear, everything is fine, my father just wanted to clarify some things."

"Such as?"

"He does not think it safe for Sarah to come with us to Glacerieulo, he doesn't want her getting sick."

Alison nodded, "Understandable, she's in the dining hall if you were wondering,"

Jareth smiled, "Reading my thoughts again darling?"

A smile appeared on his wife's face, "Just making sure I'm still fae,"

He brought his lips to hers, "You most certainly are. Now come, I'm sure you're sister isn't going to be happy with the fact that she's not coming."

The two of them walked hand in hand to the dining hall, where they found Sarah sitting at the long wooden table, a small plate of food before her, Hoggle to her left, Sir Didymus and Ambrosius to her right, and Ludo standing by the door.

"Sarah?"

The young girl looked up and smiled, "Jareth, back so soon?"

He nodded, "Sarah, I'm afraid that you're going to have to stay here whilst your sister and I travel to Glacerieulo."

"Why?"

Alison looked at Jareth, her eyes telling him that she would handle it, "Sarah, Jareth's father reminded him of the several diseases within the city, and Aboveground they cannot be treated. It's for your safety since you're not a fae, that you not come."

Emerald eyes blinked in understanding, "OK, I'll stay here."

Jareth was surprised that the teenager agreed so quickly, if he'd tried to talk to her he would have been arguing with the girl for hours.

"Alright, Hogwart make sure that Sarah stays safely within the castle walls."

Hoggle nodded, but under his breath mumbled, "Hog-gle."

Alison sighed, "We'll be back before you even notice we're gone, Sarah, trust me."

The King and Queen took their leave to the throne room, leaving the young girl in the dining hall with her friends.

"Well, that went well," Alison smiled, fastening the broach of her cloak.

"Too well I say. Gah, darling could you?" Jareth grunted with frustration at the fact that his clasp was not closing.

She sighed, walking over to her husband, stopping his fast-working fingers and placing her delicate hands on the broach, "You really must learn patience my love, it is a wonderful trait," she fastened the clasp with ease, causing her husband to sigh.

"Why is it that you are so perfect?"

She smiled, kissing his lips lightly, "Because I'm married to you. Come, we've kept your parents waiting long enough I think,"

Jareth changed into his barn owl form, whilst Alison, remembering another of her fae traits, changed into a snowy owl, the two of them traveling to Glacerieulo, unaware of the figure traveling behind them.
