By Midnight moonchild


Celebration


Lily smiled to her self humming a little tune while she braided Sarah's hair, Sarah was watching lily through the mirror as she pulled another segment of hair to braid to the side of Sarah's hair.

"Your really good at this." Sarah beamed getting up from her seat to examine Lily's handy work. "Thanks you will find im good at many things." Lily beamed before waving her hand to braid her own hair in a complicated style, Sarah gapped at her in surprise.

"Why didn't you do that with me hair." "but I do so enjoy braiding peoples hair." Lily smiled and Sarah giggled when Lily grinned at her. "theirs a few hours left before the celebration why don't you visit your friends Hoggle, Didymus and Ludo, Ive got to make sure Jareth isn't getting into trouble."

"Trouble?" Sarah rose an eyebrow ,"what do you mean Trouble." Lily grinned at her "When we where kids me and Jareth used to play pranks on our parents." Sarah looked sceptical "I cant really picture Jareth as a practical joker." Sarah Said moving some hair from her face.

"Trust me he's a worse practical joker then me." Lily winked before vanishing Leaving Sarah looking puzzled before a grin spread on her lips "Hmmm so Jareth likes practical jokes does he, mmmm perhaps I could get a little pay back." She giggled before running from the room to find her friends.

Jareth was fiddling with his cravat when Lily appeared in front of him she gave him a once over and whistled "My my what do we have here." Lily grinned walking around him in a circle to get a better look, Jareths eyes watched her before grinning himself as he grabbed her and pulled her against him "Looks like a caught something." He smiled before kissing her softly.

"you ready then?." Lily said pulling back to straiten his cravat "Yes and Sarah?" Lily nodded in reply "She's ready as well I told her we had some time so she could visit her friends." Jareth grinned "So we have some time to ourselves do we" He whispered against her lips before kissing her Lily smiled against his lips before pulling away from them "You will mess up our cloths you know." "Mess them up!" he smiled his eyes darkening as he whispered in her ear "Whose said anything about wearing cloths." He purred before Kissing her hotly.


Sarah giggled before continuing her plan "I really don't think this is such a goods idea." Hoggle said peering down the corridor to make sure no one was coming "Don't worry Hoggle ill take t he blame if it goes wrong." Sarah grinned before stepping down from the stool by the door "ok done lets go hide and wait for my victim." Sarah grinned before Dragging Hoggle to the stairs to hide.


Jareth walked quietly to his throne room lily by his side straitening her hair she stuck her tongue out at him when he winked at her. "I cant believe you did that." Lily giggled "What its not like you didn't enjoy it." Jareth said His grin widening seeing her blush. Lily giggled when they got to the door seeing the bucket balancing precariously above the door "After you." Lily bowed to Jareth who rose an eyebrow at her "Lily what are you up to" Jareth said opening the door and the bucket of water emptied on his head and Lily and Sarah burst into fits of giggles and Hoggle coward in the corner expecting a bogging.

Jareth shook his head the water flying left and right before ringing his hair out he looked over at Sarah who was holding her sides doubled over in a fit of giggles. "I suppose you think this is funny." Jareth said crossing his arms and not looking pleased Sarah stopped laughing for a moment worried she had upset him till she watched a grin spreading on his lips and he laughed

"Of course you know this means war." Jareth grinned producing a crystal Sarah screeched and ran off leaving Jareth to chuckle "Your not really going to do anything to Sarah are you Jareth." Hoggle said coming out of his hiding place "I should of known you where in on this." Jareth said closing his fist and making the crystal disappear "Don't worry Hoggle im not going to do anything." Jareth said before drying his hair with magic and re tying it in a pony tale. Lily gaped at him Surprised at his mature response to Sarah's prank.

Jareth grinned "Why so Surprised lily." Jareth said turning to look at her. "I guess we have all changed huh." Lily smiled linking her arm in his when he offered her his arm Jareth nodded before leading her out of the throne room and down the hall to the ball room "Ready" He grinned opening the doors And stepping into the ball room music filling there ears.

Sarah was drinking some punch while talking to Didymus when Lily and Jareth where announced and entered the room Sarah smiled at how wonderful Jareth and Lily looked there outfits complimenting the other perfectly and with a glance downwards she noticed her out fit complimented there's as well she grinned Jareth and Lily certainly had style.

Sing sing sing sing

The crowed began to chant when Lily stepping into the middle of the room she smiled before opening her lips and letting a beautiful melody flout from her mouth She swayed to and throw as did the crowd and after a few more notes Jareth began to join her song in a complimentary scale The took each others hands and began to waltz around the room but there song seemed to be missing something, Sarah's eyes widened when she blinked and they where offering there hands to her Sarah smiled and joined the song in another key and they moved into the centre of the room all the men began to hum a low baseline while the women sang a high treble eventually the whole ball room was singing and Sarah smiled around her notes listening to the beautiful music everyone was making.

After a few moment the song began to die away until the room was silent except for Jareth and Lily, They finished there song by kissing and then they turned to Sarah and took a hand each and raised them up into the air

"the Lady of the Labyrinth." Jareth and Lily called out and they crowd erupted in a raw of cheers and applause Sarah blushed from all the attention before turning to jareth then to lily and smiling "The Goblin King And Queen." Sarah smiled softly as the crowed cheers and applause again.

"Let the Celebrations begin." Jareths voice rang out clear in the room everyone then began to dance while others moved over to where a feast was laid out.

"You guys sure no how to party." Sarah smiled drinking her drink Lily nodded before winking at Jareth and walking off to talk to a few friends.

"Thank you for everything Sarah." Jareth said taking her hand and kissing the back of it softly. Sarah took her hand and put it over his "No Jareth Thank you." She smiled as did he "Friends." They said in unison before shaking hands.

The rest of the night Lauphter could be herd from the castle all the way to the labyrinth as the celeprations continued


A Few houres later


The last of the guest left after they said there goodbyes to Jareth Lily and Sarah Jareth closed the castle doors before turning round to lean on it

"What a party." Sarah giggled finishing her drink Jareth sighed then but Sarah just smiled "Don't worry Jareth ill visit ok. Lily gave me a little present." Sarah said pointing to her necklace "I can visit whenever I like." Sarah grinned "Anyway Jareth its time I went home my cat is probably starving and its Toby's birthday in 2 days I don't want to miss it." Jareth nodded preparing to send her home, Sarah smiled softly and waved as he cast his spell and she faded from site.


Jareth smiled softly running his hands through lily's hair as they lay in bed "This is the most peace wave had for days." Jareth yawned feeling tired already after all they had partied through most of the night. Lily sighed getting more comfortable. "Sleep Jareth we both need the rest." She closed her eyes already falling asleep. Jareth lay there for a moment staring at the ceiling he closed his eyes and reached out to the labyrinth and it hummed softly in response making him smile before falling asleep himself.
