What if Sarah took up Jareth's offer the last time?

Jareth: Cue dramatic music!

Sarah: Give me the child.

Jareth: Sarah, beware. I have been generous up until now, I can be cruel.

Sarah: Beware? You can be cruel? You honestly don't think you can intimidate me.

Jareth: You cowered before me.

Sarah: Not really. I flinched. There's a big difference between flinching and cowering.

Jareth: I am exhausted from living up to your expectations.

Sarah: Just to let you know, my expectations don't involve being chased by machines with weapons, being drugged, or being attacked by armies, but please continue. I am so eager to hear what truth you shall speak next, all-knowing one.

Jareth: You know you really shouldn't mumble because I cannot hear a word you're saying.

Sarah: I wasn't—

Jareth: MUMBLER!

Sarah: OKAY! IS THIS LOUD ENOUGH?! THROUGH DANGERS UNTOLD AND HARDSHIPS UNNUMBERED, I HAVE FOUGHT MY WAY HERE TO THE CASTLE BEYOND THE GOBLIN CITY—

Jareth: LALALALALALA! I can't hear you!

Sarah: FOR MY WILL IS AS STRONG AS YOURS, AND MY KINGD—

Jareth: Stop! Wait. Look Sarah, look at what I'm offering you; your dreams.

Sarah: And my kingdom as great—

Jareth: I ask for so little. Just let me rule you and you can have everything that you want. Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave.

Sarah: …How does that work?

Jareth: What do you mean?

Sarah: You said, "Let me rule you," and that I have to fear you and love you and do as you say.

Jareth: Yes, and?

Sarah: Then you say you'll be my slave. Sounds a little backwards.

Jareth: I call it a give-give relationship.

Sarah: **flashback of her singing in her room: If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give. Taking is too easy! That's the way it is.** You spied on me?

Jareth: What else is there to do at night?

Sarah: Ew! You're so gross! I mean, UGH! That is NOT okay!

Jareth: But Edward did it and Bella went head over heels for him! She even had a demon baby with him who will most likely eat her alive!

Sarah: And you used that as a model for how to act?!

Jareth: Yes! And I smell you and I constantly think about how easy it is to kill you and how I glitter and sparkle in the sunlight **begins to approach her** and how clumsy you are and—

Sarah: Get away from me!

Jareth: AHA! Gotcha!

Sarah: W-what?

Jareth: I made you cower!

Sarah: So none of that was true?

Jareth: Nope.

Sarah: Wow…so you're as determined to make your point as I am…We have a lot more in common than I thought.

Jareth: If you just take a step back, you can see the bigger picture.

Sarah: Tell me it's just this place, but I think I feel something towards you.

Jareth: Well it is a magical place, but flowers only grow where there are seeds, and fireworks only happen when there's stuff in the rockets already.

Sarah: Ask me the offer again.

Jareth: Stay?

Sarah: Yes!

Jareth: Yippee! I'll return Toby at once.

Sarah: Heh…He's already under my thumb.

Jareth: What was that?

Sarah: Oh nothing.
