Jareth had been outside and in the gardens, when Sarah suddenly approached him. "What are you doing?" She asked her love, walking over to stand next to him and the red rose bush. Jareth smiled and replied, "Watering and making sure the garden is fine." He pulled the mortal girl into an embrace. Sarah hugged him in return a second, then quickly pulled away and frowned at him. "Jareth, you're always working in some way! Tending to the gardens, negotiating with goblins, preventing mini-wars within the Labyrinth. . . There's always something!!" She trailed off and sniffled. The Goblin King furrowed his eyebrows together, confused, and pulled the brunette back into a hug. "What are you suggesting? I haven't spent enough time with you? Because I'll make it up to you, right now if you like, Sarah."

Sarah swallowed, wiping a tear away from her brown eyes, and replied, "Okay! I've got an idea for what we can do!" She cried happily, grabbing his hand and running off with him to the castle.

Once the pair reached the castle and Jareth had caught his breath, he asked her, "Did you have that planned?" Sarah just smiled brightly at him, and placed a perfectly tanned finger over his lips. "That's my secret." She told him, sticking her tongue out playfully. Jareth attempted to grab it and rip it off with his fingers, but she pulled it back in, and gave him 'the look'.

"So, what was your idea?" Jareth asked as he walked over to their bed and sat down, waiting for Sarah's reply. "Well," She began, throwing herself next to him, "I thought we'd take a little vacation down to earth." Jareth blinked a moment, and then shrugged. "Sure, why not." He responded, taking the brunette into his arms. "So when are we going to go?" Sarah pondered a moment and said, "How about now. We can rent out a hotel and stay there for about three days, okay? Then we can come back here and you can resume whatever it is that you do all day." Jareth stared at Sarah a second, then nodded. "Alright. Let's go then."

Sarah and Jareth went and got a few things together, and not long after, transported themselves to earth. "We're here!" Sarah cried happily, running off for the nearest hotel. Jareth quickly darted in her direction, stuck carrying all of their luggage. "Sarah!" He called after her as she entered the hotel. He walked in a moment later and saw her standing inside with a key. "Okay, we're all signed up. Now let's go put our things up, and we can go shopping, and see a movie, and go get some ice cream, and all kinds of stuff!!" She told him, taking his hand and dragging him upstairs to their room with her.

"Wow. . . This sure is a comfortable room!" Sarah exclaimed, throwing herself on the soft bed. Jareth poked the bed with his finger and glared at the opposing mattress. He could surely make a more comfortable bed for his Sarah! "Hmph." He said only, putting their suitcases on the floor across the room. "Well, shall we go now?" Sarah asked annoyed Goblin King. He stood silent for a little while, hoping perhaps Sarah would realize that she insulted him, but obviously it didn't work, so he sighed and muttered an agreement.

As the odd pair walked down the street, laughing, a red-haired woman, a brunette man, and a two year old boy stopped and began staring at them. Sarah, teary from laughing so hard at something Jareth said, didn't recognize them and said, "You people got a staring problem or something? We're just laughing." The man's eyes got wide and he yelled, "Sarah? What are you doing here?! Where have you been the past month?!" Sarah stared at them a moment, then gasped and turned to Jareth. "You forgot to erase my family's memories of me!" She screamed at him in alarm. Jareth snapped angrily. "I knew I forgot to do something. . ." He said in his thick British accent. He looked down, preparing to be hit by Sarah, when he noticed the little boy giving him a strange look. "J-jawef." He told the Goblin King, laughing, in his babyish voice. Sarah's eyes widened. "Jareth, Toby said your name! He remembers you!" She cried, giggling. Jareth smiled and picked little Toby up off the ground. "Why, hello there." He said, tickling the child. "Sawah!" Toby yelled, clapping and looking at his step- sister. Sarah smiled a moment and then shook her head. "Jareth, put him down and erase their memories!" Jareth frowned and set Toby on the ground, pulling his crystal out. He gently blew it towards Sarah's parents, making them lose all memories of Sarah. "Now Toby." Sarah told the stubborn, evil King. Jareth looked at the little boy, then shook his head. "No. I think Toby wants to remember."

Jareth and Sarah had just gotten out of the movie theatre and finished watching Wayne's World the movie, when Jareth noticed a karaoke bar just down the street. "Oh, Sarah, can we go? Please? Please? Please?" Sarah shook her head, blushing. "No! You've already disturbed the public with your singing once. You're *not* doing it again!" She told him. Jareth looked at the ground and proceeded in making Sarah agree, after only about two hours. /Not bad. . ./ Jareth thought.

The pair got to the karaoke bar and Jareth went and picked up a little book to see what all songs he could sing, when he discovered he didn't know any of the ones in their collection. /No problem./ He thought, /I can come up with my own score right now./ Jareth went and signed the list, and ten minutes later, he was on the stage, with little goblins all around him, and his strange music playing. He opened his mouth, and Sarah closed her eyes, and Jareth began to sing.

"I am lonely like the moon, you are far away as the earth. You say I light your thoughts, night after night, soon you forget." Jareth sang, as the goblins repeated him, and the audience suddenly went, "Ooh-wa, ooh-wa." Sarah covered her face with her hands. He was going to do that thing where the humans knew exactly what to do again. . .

"We are drifting in this dance, I can feel you circle my heart, keeping such a graceful distance. So close, but somehow apart." He paused and winked at Sarah as the audience slowly got up to the stage helping the goblins dance and sing backup. Sarah blushed severely as she realized the people smiling at her. /I'm going to get Jareth for talking me into this. . ./ Sarah thought.

"Sometimes I cry for you, knowing you don't want me to. Sometimes I whisper to the stars up in the sky. . .

"That I wanna find the way to your soul, kiss in the sun, when morning comes. You don't seem to count the hours, when we are not together. I've seen a tender fire in your eyes, yet when I'm gone, you carry on. I float in this emptiness, 'til at last love returns, with the night, and the lonely moon." Jareth finished singing and looked out in the audience to see Sarah, clapping. He cocked an eyebrow and was about to walk of the stage when Sarah shrugged at him and yelled, "Encore!" All the people, on and off stage nodded and began yelling encore to, forcing the Goblin King to begins singing with the goblins again.

As they *finally* let Jareth off the stage, he and Sarah noticed a familiar group of people walk in. "Hey! That's the guy and his girlfriend who got us to start singing!" One of the people in the group cried happily. Jareth blinked, finally recognizing them as the group from the store Sarah had gone shopping at only a chapter beforehand. "Ah, hello everyone. Sorry we've got to be going so soon. . . perhaps we'll come and sing with you all again." Sarah said, grabbing Jareth's arm, and pulling him outside. She feared that if they dared stay in the karaoke bar, Jareth would begin singing again. She'd gotten her fair share of singing for the day.

Finally, the couple's mini-vacation was over and they returned to the castle, much to Sarah's relief, and Jareth's dismay. "It was fun to sing with all those people. Here I've only got the goblins, because you won't sing with me." Jareth complained. Sarah's reply was, "Good night."

And so, they went to sleep. Jareth dreamed of singing in Las Vegas, and Sarah dreamed of herself sleeping.
