SCENE 12: A NOTE TO SAY…

The smoke slowly cleared. And Sarah was surprised to find herself right outside her

front door. What was going on. Where was the labyrinth. Where was Jareth?!? She looked around. It was just her street, nothing more, nothing less. She called out 'Jareth!!', but no reply. Then she realised, this was the wish that Jareth had given her, freedom, her own life back, her family. She was rather upset that he would send her home. No, forget rather upset, she was devastated. Inside she was screaming. Finally she had found the love of her life and what does he do. He rejects her. Like Janice would say - Oh ..my ..God!!! She entered her door. It was still the same house, the same living room, her parent's still unaware of what was happening. Sarah walked up the stairs she entered Toby's room. And guess what….there he was. Smiling happily. Sarah ran towards him. "Toby! I'm glad your safe…this is isn't….Toby…..you're my dream…you're one the crystal gave to me." Sarah was crying. Half of the tears were happy tears - relief from knowing that Toby was home. But half of the tears were sad tears. She really thought she would stay with Jareth forever. Sarah put Toby to bed and went downstairs to her family. Her stepmother saw her.

"Sarah, it's late why aren't you sleeping."

"I came to say I'm sorry."

"What?!?" said her father.

"I'm sorry for treating you like an evil stepmother. You're not that bad. And I'm

sorry for taking everything you do for me for granted. I just want you to know that I really appreciate everything you do for me. Well …goodnight."

Sarah walked off up to bed leaving her parents stunned with their mouths open like

codfishes. They both look at each other and stare for a while before smiling and giving each other a kiss.

Sarah walked into her room and shut the door. She turned on the light and was just

about to go to bed when……..

"HOGGLE, Hoggle you're alive."

Hoggle stood there looking as well as ever. No more green goop.

"Yes o'course I am."

She happily ran up to him and gave him the biggest hug.

"Thank you Sarah, you freed me."

"Oh you're welcome. I can't believe I got my best friend back."

"Well, back to say goodbye anyway."
"What" said Sarah.

"You proved today that you were grown up. And you don't need us anymore."
"No Hoggle I do need you."

"No you don't! You need your friends and your bruva but you don't need me."

"Hoggle what are you talking about."

"Goodbye Sarah." Before she got a chance to say anything else Hoggle disappeared.

Sarah cried. And jumped on her bed. She lifted her pillow up as she was about to cover her head under it when she saw a note. She opened it up and reads: (cue melodramatic music)

My Dearest Sarah, I am truly sorry for the hardships and dangers I have put you through over these past few years. But through all the pain and hurt that I have caused you, you have become a strong and beautiful woman. I am now free and through my liberty I grant you your freedom also. I will never take or give anything to you ever again. There is only one thing that I want you to do. Live. Live your life to the full. I want you to experience contentment, children, tears and challenges. I hope that life treats you kind and I hope you will get all you dreamed of. I wish to you joy, and happiness. But above all this I wish to you….love. And I will always love you. But I do not want you to love me. Forget me Sarah. And remember. Live.

Sarah's eyes flooded with tears but she knew he was right. After hours of sitting

there thinking about what could have been she dried her tears and went to bed.

The next morning Sarah woke up a happy lady. She dressed herself and ran

downstairs. "Morning everyone" she said. Surprisingly she saw Jack. Remember - her ex-boyfriend. In fact she was happy to see him. Maybe they could get back together.

"Hi Jack."

"Hello Sarah" he said. "I thought maybe we could go to the mall."

"I'd love to" she said.
"I brought a friend."

"Oh okay."

"In fact she's more than a friend. Sarah meet my new girlfriend."
A girl came through the door, black hair, athletic physique. Oh no…it couldn't

be…but it was………JETT!!. Sarah looked shocked.

"Hello…….Sarah is it" said Jett.

THE END……(for now)

Oh no what will happen now. Does this mean Sarah will get to see Jareth again, you better wait until the sequel comes out. (I haven't actually started writing a sequel yet and maybe I never will but you can always hope. I'm sure my stories will improve as I age. I know this one was kinda crap. But if you happen to share my arcane/mundane sense of manner and somehow are deluded and enjoyed my story. Let me know. See Ya!!!!)
