Sarah sat on her couch, Ice cream in hand and her cheeks, wet from crying. She looked out the window and noticed a strange glow comming from across the street, and a little guy comming out of the house. Once the thing got out of the glow, Sarah noticed that it was Sir Didymus, then she noticed headlights comming up the street.
"Didymus!!" Sarah screamed, dropping her icecream and running up to the window, her mouth dropped open in warning.
Sir Didymus stopped in the middle of the street and waved at Sarah.
"My Lady!" He said, as he lifted his hat. Sarah watched as the headlights came and dissappeared. She ran outside to the stunned Sir Didymus, now sitting in the middle of the road.
"Didymus, are you hurt?"
"I...I...I..." He fainted.
"Didymus!" Sarah picked up the limp body and stood up. She heard a quiet whimpering and looked down.
"I'm sorry Ambrocious, he looks pretty hurt."
**************************************************************************************************
Jareth knew that the car was comming up the street, but Sir Didymus didn't, that's mainly the reason why Jareth had sent him out, the other reason was to see Sarah, running out of the house, supprised and worried about her little delicate, but loud, friend. He watched the bumper of the car knocking down the little rat and actually felt some pitty as Sarah picked him up in her arms. He came outside, acting as if he knew nothing.
"Oh my God, Sarah, is he o.k.?" Sarah looked up at Jareth with worried eyes.
"I don't know, he's unconsious. Did you see what happened?" Jareth shook his head and took Didymus.
"No, no, I don't believe I did...please tell me." Sarah told him all that she saw as they walked into the house. Sarah didn't notice that she was inside the house until she stopped talking.
"Is he going to be alright?" Sarah asked as Jareth layed him down on the couch.
"Oh, I'm sure he'll be fine, he's gonna be bruised, but that's all."
"It's not fair." Sarah mumbled quietly.
"You're still saying that?" Jareth said with a smile, Sarah blushed.
"Well it's not!" She mentioned. Jareth sighed.
"Jareth?"
"hmm?"
"Why exactly did you come back?"
"I thought you knew." Jareth sat on a stool by the kitchen counter and looked at Sarah.
"I don't know what to think around you." Sarah said, returning the stare. The thought of the report in history class came back to her and smiled, but tried to disguise the smile by coughing and putting a hand over her mouth.
"You look like something's happened."
"Yeah, my friend just got hit by a car, that's what's happened." Sarah looked at Sir Didymus.
"No, something else. That's not all of it."
"How so?" Sarah looked back at Jareth. Jareth got up off the stool and up to Sarah, staring her in the eyes.
"Well, I see at least an hour old of tears staining your eyes." Jareth backed away, then sat beside Sarah. Sarah turned in her seat towards Jareth and moved as far back as she could.
"Well..." Sarah started out.
"Yes?" Jareth urged her to go on.
"I put my relationship with Jeremy on hold today, he didn't seem to take it very well."
"Oh, I see, any particular reason?" Sarah looked at Didymus and noticed he was moving very slowly, she went over to him, ignoring the question.
"Didymus!" Sarah said, holding his paw. He opened his eyes.
"My fair maiden." His weak voice sounded painful.
"Shhhh, don't speak, just rest. You'll need it." Jareth came up behind Sarah with an ice bag and gave it to Sarah. She took it, confused. He was being so nice to Sir Didymus, what was going on? Sarah ignored the urge to ask and sat back on the couch where she was.
"Did you want something to drink?" Jareth asked, Sarah shook her head
"No thankyou, I should be going pretty soon."
"Please stay, I get very lonely around here, not having any friends or anything." Sarah thought for a few seconds.
"O.K. I'll stay, but only for a little bit. I really should be getting home."
"Thankyou." Jareth said, filling the tea kettle with water and putting it on the stove. Sarah couldn't believe what she was hearing, and most of all, seeing! He was actually being nice and being a gentleman about having her as a guest over. She was even supprised that he knew how to work a stove. Jareth returned on the spot of the couch next to Sarah. A few seconds of sclience went by until Jareth spoke.
"So, we were talking about Jeremy, wern't we?" Sarah nodded
"Yes, we were." The thought of the intament moment between the two started comming back to her and she looked at Didymus.
"Why did you call it off again?"
"A relationship is just too much right now."
"Uh-huh." Jareth said, studying Sarah's eyes and remembering that she told Jeremy that she 'might have feelings for someone else' today durring school. Jareth leaned foward and brushed a hair out of Sarah's face. She turned her head and looked at him, noticing that he was onto her. All of a sudden, she couldn't resist the feeling, she leaned into him, grabbed him softly by the cheeks and kissed him.
"Didymus!!" Sarah screamed, dropping her icecream and running up to the window, her mouth dropped open in warning.
Sir Didymus stopped in the middle of the street and waved at Sarah.
