Jareth was watching from across the street, happy with revenge, but sad by the way it came. It was a shock, a shock to see Sarah fall so helplessly into Jeremy's arms like nothing had happened before hand. He knew what was happening, thanks to his crystal balls he could see anything he wanted, anything he choose. After a while of watching and waiting for the right moment, when Sarah was finally alone, he went over. Sarah answered the door and let him in. After she close the door she ran to him for a hug.
"Oh, Sarah, shhhh, what happened?"
"Oh, you know what happened!"
"Do i know?"
"I knew you were listining in on your crystal balls, I can feel you watching." Jareth didn't react. He just hugged Sarah, smelling her hair, and enjoying every minuet of his plan.
"O.k. I must admit, I did listen into the part about your parents being in the car accident, and I must say i am very sorry to hear that, but I left the conversation when you called jeremy an ass-hole, would you mind explaining?" Sarah smiled at jareth's words.
"he just got started on the kiss thing again and asked if I had been seeing you on the side, you know, cheating on him. I told him the whole story and he just laughed at my face, saying he read that book in third grade and that he didn't believe me. So i told him that if this was the way he was going to react, he could just leave."
"And that's when you called him an ass-hole?" Sarah blushed.
"yeah." There was a moment of silence that sarah had never experianced before. Then it happened again. This time Jareth moved first and took Sarah's head and kissed her. The kiss was long and passionate, better than the first one, except this one was inturrupted by a scratchy voice on the stairs.
"Hoggle!" Sarah yelled, pulling away from Jareth's warm grasp and ran up the stairs after him. she rounded the corner of her room and caught his arm just as he was about to go back through the mirror he came from.
"Hoggle...let me explain."
"how could you fall for him, Sarah? After what he did to you and your brother?"
"Hoggle please, listen..."
"I'm dissappointed in you Sarah. you let us down."
"I was just--"
"I mean, we thought you had better brains than to go kissing the guy that's our main enemy." Sarah slapped a hand over Hoggle's mouth.
"Please listen, Didymus got hit by a car, jareth saw what happened and we took Didymus and Ambrocious into Jareth's house. i didn't even know what was comming until it hit, and now that it's happened, I know this is what i've been missing, I know this is what I want. And I know that you and the others probably won't approve of this, but please understand that I have just found the something that has been missing from my life."
"Do you're parents know?" Hoggle asked after a few seconds of thinking of Sarah's words.
"Oh.." Sarah was wound up in the second kiss, she almost forgot that her parents were gone.
"Sarah, are you alright, has something happened?"
"My parents, they...um...they were in a car accident." Sarah's head bowed down. hoggle put a hand over Sarah's hand.
"they didn't survive did they?" Sarah shook her head and Hoggle nodded.
