Hey folks, just a quick A/N - this is the prologue to Hat, in case you were wondering. I'll just scoot out now...
Prompt Ten: Pair
The two of them were a pair, even if she doubted it. Sure, Sarah came in flouncing about like she owned the place, saying the final words and rescued her brother and refused his problem. They were a pair – there was no getting around it.
Like, oh what was the phrase? Peanut butter and jelly, or green eggs and ham the two just went together. Jareth and Sarah – Sarah and Jareth. It had a ring to it – because they were a pair.
Yes, she defeated him and yes, she threw his loving words in his face but that was just a phase. Women go through phases all the time – she couldn't possibly really mean it. Knowing women – and Jareth liked to believe he knew the fairly well – Sarah would probably be wishing him back into her life minutes after she realized her brother was safe and sound in his crib.
So Jareth waited – not impatiently but definitely not quite patient either – for Sarah to call. He waited that evening – nothing. (she just wanted time to recover) He waited throughout the next day – nothing. (surely she must be doing all she can to hold back lust-filled thoughts) He waited all that week – nothing, tra la la. (He was starting to get angry…)
Soon the time he waited tallied up to months, and then years – so after Jareth had waited so long and he heard his name from Sarah's lips he was ecstatic.
That is until she declared that she'd rather run his Labyrinth again then marry him. Ecstatic was far from what Jareth was feeling – downright murderous was pretty close.
Damn those not-so-innocent eyes.
I think everyone knows what the last line is played on...if not I'll send you a link where you can read it online for free, as any good Laby fan should.
Review please?
