Sarah literally spent the whole day rummaging through her closet to find the perfect red dress and matching red platforms for her date with Jareth when she decided against it.

"I can't wear this…" Sarah said, pinching the bridge of her nose. "I'd look too… forward."

"I think you look pretty, Mommy!" Sophie came into her mother's room, hugging her legs.

"Hey, baby!" Sarah picked up her daughter. "I'm going to dinner tonight with your new daddy, so can you be a good girl for Miss Melony tonight?"

"Of course, Mommy!" Sophie exclaimed, climbing out of Sarah's arms and running for the door because she heard a knock.

"CRAP! Sophie, don't answer-"

The door opened. "Hello, my darling!" She heard Jareth exclaim happily.

"…That."

"DADDY!" Sophie hugged Jareth and he picked her up, swinging her a couple times in the air. "I missed you, daddy!" Jareth could feel her laughing in his neck.

"I missed you too, darling." He stated sincerely, setting her down. "Where is your mother?"

"Jareth! In here getting ready! Do me a favor?" Sarah yelled, closing the door quickly.

"Sure thing, precious."

"There's an apartment across the hall, please take Sophie there. That's Melody's apartment. She's babysitting for me…Us I mean." Sarah saved herself from the mess she was about to make, putting on skin-colored stockings and changing to black stilettos.

"Alright. Should I tell Lady Melody anything when I arrive?"

Sarah rolled her eyes. Lady Melody. HA! I think she'd kill him if she heard him say that. "Just don't call her "Lady". Tell her that I'm not through getting ready…" she trailed off, putting some light eyeliner on. "…And I had you do it. Tell her thanks."

"Got it." He replied, taking Sophie out and to Melody's door. He knocked, and when Melody answered, she let Sophie in after Jareth said his goodbyes.

"So…" Melody started. "You're moving Sarah?" Melody asked suspiciously.

"Yes, Madame, I am." Jareth replied politely, trying to sound as nice as possible.

Melody pulled him by his Tux collar closer to whisper in his ear. "I know who you are, and if I hear any word about you mistreating this girl, I'll be SURE that Argyle handles it his way."

Jareth's eyes widened as he nodded in understanding. "I swear on my family and my throne that I won't ever harm the Lady of The Labyrinth, Sarah Williams."

"Good, now get out of here." Melody slammed the door in his face, leaving him utterly confused.

"Well, that went… well." Jareth said to himself, walking back into Sarah's apartment.

When he saw Sarah, his world fell down all over again.

She was dressed in a knee-length red satin, strapless dress and black stiletto heels. Her hair was curled in chocolaty swirls around her cheek, her sparkling emerald eyes defined by the eyeliner she was wearing. Her smile was that of a pure pearl necklace. She looked just beautiful.

"Well… we… better get going. You look absolutely beautiful tonight, my Precious."

"You don't look too shabby yourself, Jareth." Sarah giggled lightly. He was dressed in a navy blue suit with a black tie. His normal mess of hair was pulled back into a tamed ponytail, and his Fae markings were gone. He would look to anyone else like a regular, nicely dressed, handsome businessman. But Sarah knew better.

They walked out of her apartment building and into the streets of Manhattan.

Argyle was drenched in paperwork when his queen, Ebony burst into the room, engulfed in tears.

"Mon Ange," he whispered, enveloping her into his arms. "Mon Ange, it's alright. Tell me, please, my love, what's the matter?"

She sobbed out a whole sentence, and Argyle could only make out "Phoenix", "Vladimir", "Plan", "Capture", "Jareth", "Kill", "Hurt me".

Argyle held her closer, calling in the head of the guards of the Castle.

"Double your forces, and make sure to let the Goblin Kingdom Guards know to keep an eye out for Jareth and his family. Is this understood?"

"Yes, your majesty." The fairy guard bowed, trotting out quickly to do the orders commanded to him.

"You know," Ebony finally squeaked out. "We never did find out the last of the Prophecy to Jareth's fate…"

"I know, my love…" Argyle picked her up bridal style, carrying her to the Queen's personal chambers. "It scares me to death, as well."
