Okay, I'm back from surgery and better than ever. I CAN BREATHE! *cough* Anyway, I have had
several concerns raised about Sarah's age. I wasn't planning on changing anything to acomidate
for that. However, since the concern has been raised I will see if I can work with it. No
promises though.

Next item of business. I have had some people remark about the shortness of the chapters. I
know they have been short. However, when I stop it is usually when I can't think of anything
more to put in the chapter. My muses either hit me in the head with a 2 x 4 or don't speak to
me at all. Either way...we will see how they behave after a few months rest.

Jareth: SelenityPotter, that tutu speedo thing was not very nice!

Quit complaining. I could be worse you know.

Jareth: I don't see how!

Emerald Lady Destiny. Need I say more? *Jareth disapears in a shower of glitter* I am so
evil. I love it!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I love you Jareth. And I don't want to live without you!"

Jareth stepped back abruptly. "Sarah," he said warningly. Sarah stood on her toes to kiss him
again. Jareth grabbed her shoulders and thrust her away from him. "Sarah," he growled "I am not
in the habbit of playing games with a child. And that is exactly what you are, a child. Sarah
gave Jareth a hurt look. Tears welled up in her eyes and her lower lip started quiver.

"It seems to me," she said in a quavering voice "that you were treating me as a woman a moment
ago when you were kissing me..." Jareth growled and shoved Sarah away from him violently.
Sarah went sprawling onto the couch behind her. No longer was Jareth simply a man, he was the
Goblin King. His aura became threatening and his presence seemed to scream fear. Sarah
coward on the couch, drawing as far away from Jareth as she could.

"THIS IS NOT A GAME SARAH!" Jareth shouted. "You tread on dangerous ground child. I will not
allow you to try and make a fool of me. I will not allow you to make demands of me. And I
will not allow you to undermine my authority!" Jareth sensed a weak spot in Raven's shield and
threw all of his anger at it. The crystals placed around the room all cracked and Jareth
dissapeared. Sarah sat trembling on the couch for several moments before her world began
to spin and she passed out.

Sarah awoke some time later to the fluent swearing of Raven. As Sarah opened her eyes, she was
met with the sight of Raven sitting next to the couch holding her head in both of her hands.
"Rave? What happened to you?"

Raven looked up at her, her eyes were red and she looked about ready to fall over. "Your pet
Goblin King, that's what happened! When he broke through the shields it backlashed and I now
have the migrane to beat all migranes. If for no other reasons I need my mentor to help me get
rid of it and he probably isn't in much better shape than I am!" Raven groaned and burried her
face in her hands. "Now if you would please either kill me or leave me to my misery I think you should
go to your room and lock the door. If for no other reason when I recover I am going to kill you..."
Sarah bolted for her room, leaving a groaning Raven on the floor in the living room.

Jareth appeared in his throne room, his face like a thunder cloud and the air fairly crackled
with his suppressed anger. The goblins in the room quickly vacated. Crystals started to fly across
the room to shatter against walls. Lightning flashed across the Labyrinth sky and thunder sounded
like cannons. It took several hours for Jareth to calm down. And when he did, his mind was racing
like a cat with its tail on fire. Sarah kissed him. And when she kissed him he just seemed to melt!
He must be loosing his mind, or his wits. Either way, he needed to stay far away from Sarah. *Yeah,
like you will be able to stay away from her! If you can stay away from her I will be very surprised!*
"Shut up!" he growled to himself. *Why? You don't listen to me. At least it doesn't seem like it!
So why should I shut up? Besides, if you are loosing your mind I am a sure sign of it!* Jareth snarled
and threw a crystal across the room to shatter against the wall. *Temper temper old boy! You don't
want to hurt anyone now do you?* "I said SHUT UP!" *Ouch, I've told you not to shout. It echos something
awful up here and it makes me hurt!* Jareth's trademark smirk graced his face. "That is the point my
annoying other self! So silence or I shall shout some more..." *Alright alright, sheesh, I don't know
what Sarah ever saw in you!* With that the voice fell silent leaving a very angry Jareth.

Sarah sat in her room staring out the window at the cresent moon. Tears had long since dried on her face
and her thoughts nolong existed. She felt numb and empty staring out the window, so when Raven threw the
door open with a bang and stormed over to Sarah, she didn't even flinch. Raven grabbed Sarah's chin and
forced Sarah to look her in the face. At the sight of Sarah's dead and emotionless eyes, the tirade that
she was about to deliver was silenced. She looked closely at Sarah and worry was the dominant emotion on
her face. "Sarah?" However there was no response. Swearing fluently she stalked over to the phone next
to Sarah's bed and picked it up. She punched a number in hastily and waited impatiently for an answer.
"Sensei? Yeah, it's me. Look, I have a minor problem over here...

Kay, my muses don't like me anymore. I will try and get the next chapter out soon, but no promises. Besides
I still have to try and convince Jareth that Emmy-chan won't kill him. I mean, she can't be that bad, can she?
