Labyrinth and all that is connected to it belongs to someone other than me!!!
Though the characters of Sally Jendson, Morgan Seliecourt, and other characters not appearing or named in the movie are of my creation.
That is excluding certain characters that old Willie and other writers used before me – well, you all know who I'm talking about! Though I doubt I would be getting a call from a British solicitor saying that a Mr. Shakespeare is suing me for infringement – but you never know. Better safe than sorry.

Wishes and Dreams of Love
Chapter Seven: Attacks, Long Due Rewards, and Dates
Sally shuttered inside as the carriage moved along. She just knew that something was wrong with Sarah. "Puck, we have to hurry. Sarah's in danger, and I don't think that Jareth realizes it yet!"
"I've summoned the representatives of the Seelie Court that met with Sarah and Jareth today. I can only hope that they get there in time!"
Sally might not have known Puck for long, but she could easily read that he was worried. She decided to not whine about how afraid she was. In fact all she did was take hold of one of his hands. It brought Puck out of his fears. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her close to his chest.
"You know, if we hadn't gone on this date, I wouldn't have known Sarah and Jareth needed me until it was too late. Again you play the role of the heroine, my Lady."
Sally smiled up at him and sighed. "All I did was noticed a bird. There's little need for giving me that title, my hero."
"True modesty … one of your most enduring traits. Ready for a fight … just in case that is?" Puck looked like a tiger ready to pounce as the carriage went through the gates of the city and quickly neared the Castle.
Sally took a breath to control herself. She'd come this far, and she wasn't about to let Sarah or Puck down. "Ready."
The second the carriage stopped they both jumped out and ran inside. It was a few moments to find the dinning hall the group was in, but soon Sally saw Sarah and her family with some others – and a nasty facsimile of the blonde that was holding Sarah safely behind him.
"Sarah's fiancé … right?" Sally whispered to her champion as she nodded over towards the blonde.
Puck only nodded as he put on his well-known airs milliseconds before they burst into the room. "Jareth? Sorry for dropping in so unexpectedly. But, it looks as if Lady Sally and I came in at an interesting occasion."
Jareth fought hard to not exhale in relief. Whatever being had willed that the couple showed up had all of the Goblin Kings thanks. "Always good to see you old friend, and you too of course Lady Sally. More so now than you'd think."
"As I can see. You do know that Queen Morgan is not going to like the fact that Lady Sarah is in the Labyrinth after setting the rule that she was not to arrive today."
A voice shimmered with a dark overtone from the shadows. "Seeing as it was to prove to the Lady's parents that their story is true, I will excuse it. However, it is obvious why you have summoned the Seelie Court's Representatives. You are not welcome in this place Conal."
Turning towards the voice everyone saw each of the now angry Representatives. Conal simply laughed.
"As if you full-fledged gummers have any say over me! Here Sarah, consider this a little would have been wedding gift." And with that Conal produced a blood red crystal similar to Jareth's.
The next few moments went in slow motion for Sarah. She saw the crystal spinning towards her at a high rate of speed, it turning into a crystal icicle, Conal blasting Jareth with another crystal to keep him from shielding Sarah, and then she felt herself hit the floor as a pain-filled scream tore through the air. Turning around, Sarah saw that her best friend Sally – who had taken the impact of the crystal into her left shoulder – gave the push to safety to her.
"Sally! No!" Sarah screamed as she gathered her wits to move to her friend's sobbing body that was resting on Puck's lap. "Why Sally? Why did you do it?"
Sally hooked her pinkie finger around Sarah's and coughed. "Best friends always and forever … remember? You saved me from that car … just paying back that favor."
"You didn't have to! We're best friends. That's all I'd ever ask of you – nothing more than your friendship." Sarah couldn't believe what was happening. Sally was dieing and it was all her fault!
The look on Puck's face was one of agony. Sarah could easily see that he had fallen for Sally, and now he was going to lose her. "Guess we should have just went to dinner and then a movie, huh."
"Not your style, handsome. And I had one heck of an adventure. I'm still scared though. Please don't leave me."
Sally's face was covered with a mixture of both their tears. "Never. I'm right here, and this is where I'll stay till the end."
Sarah hid her face against Jareth's chest, so ashamed that she couldn't save her friend. He held his beloved tight to him, upset that with all of their combined powers none of the Fae in the room could save Sally.
The crystal had embedded itself within Sally's shoulder, and internal hook like appendages locked it into place while delivering powerful poisons into her wound. But no one knew what would undo the spell that locked the crystal in its place.
Sally's face quickly became pale, and her breathing more shallow. The others moved away to let the couple have their goodbyes alone.
"Please don't leave me, Sally. You don't realize how you've changed me." Puck felt as if his heart was being ripped from his own chest. If he could, he'd give up his immortality for her. That was how much he loved this mortal woman.
Sally weakly smiled up at him with more tears flooding her eyes. "You changed me more. You'll never know what those petals and roses meant to me. It was the first time I ever felt special. Sarah never let that feeling die. Every time I'd put myself down, she'd take me out to smell the ivory roses you gave me. I'll come back somehow, I'll return to you Puck."
Puck smiled through his tears. He knew that this woman would do just as she vowed. "Then maybe we should start making plans?"
Sally winced as she chuckled. "Yeah. Think we can go out in the carriage again?"
"I think that it could be arranged. I was thinking more along the lines of asking you to marry me. But, I'll wait to get you back for you to answer." Puck would wait forever until she was at his side again.
"Why wait when I already know the answer? After all, you're the only one I want to be with. Yes, I'll marry you." Sally's smile brightened.
Puck rubbed her cheek with his thumbs as he softly kissed her lips.
Suddenly, the crystal came loose and fell to the ground. Sally sighed in relief, and Puck gasped in shock. The rest rushed forward at the sounds.
Morgan immediately worked to healing Sally, who was still gasping and pale. Sarah looked up at Jareth with tears in her eyes. His voice gently warmed her mind.
~Morgan is an expert in the healing arts, Sarah. Another reason I asked her to watch over you. That way if you ever got hurt she could intercede. Sally will be fine now.~
"She'll need to rest, but I was able to counter all of the poison that was in her system. She'll be fine. I suggest that we move everyone to Avalon. Conal has no way to the island, and Sally will be able to heal a bit faster in her fiancé's homeland." Morgan looked tired but still smiled at Puck, Sarah, and Jareth.
Sarah rested her head on Jareth's chest as she let out a heavy sigh.
Sally sighed as she opened her eyes to see that she obviously wasn't in her own room. She was lying in a four-poster bed made of some dark gemstone with gray splashes in various places. The sheets were ivory silk and it felt as if the thick ruby red cover was filled with feathers.
She nuzzled her face into the thick pillow under her head. There were curtains all around the bed that were closed except for the one next to her that allowed the morning sunlight to filter in. Through that opening in the curtains, Sally saw that the thick carpet was a deep green that reminded her of grass. The one partial wall she saw had a mural that was like a deep forest in the morning.
Moving her left shoulder, Sally realized that she wasn't hurt anymore – in fact, all that was left to remind her of that attack was a small white mark that looked like an old scratch.
Her clothes had changed once again as well. She was in a renaissance type nightgown. The sleeves and bodice were a dark blue with silver beads sewn on, appearing like stars. From just above her elbows down the sleeves were obviously long. The chest was a square of silver lace that shimmered. Similar lace edged both cuffs.
Her hair was still curled, but had been taken down out of the clasp Puck had pulled it into before they set off on their date.
Turning over, Sally quickly noticed that she wasn't alone in the bed. A worn and slightly pale Puck was asleep beside her, tucked beneath a separate Emerald green thick blanket. He hadn't left her the whole of that night!
Sally smiled as she carefully scooted so that she could rest her head next to him. Only then did she notice that something was on her finger. Looking at her left hand, she saw a shimmering clear stone on a gold band – her engagement ring. So, that hadn't been some dream; Puck had proposed and she had accepted. She was going to be his wife!
Gently she rested her hand onto his chest and felt his chest as it rose and fell. This was something Sally enjoyed, waking with him beside her. As she slowly let her eyes close, the feel of a hand softly rubbed her own caused her to open them again.
"Good Morning my dearest Sally. How do you feel today?"
Looking up she saw that Puck was up and smiling on her, but he still looked tired. Sally sighed as she laid her head on his chest and felt her fiancé wrap his arms tight around her. "Wonderful, but a little on the sleepy side. I hate that I have to go to school today. It such a beautiful day – one that would be better spent with you. I'm probably late already."
Puck chuckled as he rubbed her back. "Time runs differently here than Aboveground, my sweet love. From the sun's position I'd guess that about one hour has passed in your world. So, we have plenty of time."
"We are going to have so much fun!" Sally giggled as she leapt on top of his body and planted a kiss solidly on Puck's chuckling lips. "I was wondering, how long do we have to wait before we can get married?"
Puck sighed. "That depends on whether you want your family there, and if we'll be having it here or Aboveground."
"I want it down here, so all of your family and our friends here can be there. And the only family I have left are my mom, sister, and grandmother. But, explaining all of this is going to be hard!" Sally just wanted to be with him, but it seemed impossible.
"Thankfully we have wonderful friends. Sarah, her family, and Jareth went to talk with your family. Jareth brought them in last night because they wanted to make sure you were sleeping safely. Mom and dad gave them rooms to rest in until we woke. I refused to leave my devastatingly beautiful fiancée on her own through a full night. Mom only allowed it if I agreed to sleep on top of the covers, her way of keeping us calm until our wedding night." Puck threaded his fingers into his love's hair.
Sally grinned as she snuggled deeper into his embrace. Then she had a thought. "Puck when would be too soon in your eyes?"
Puck tightened his embrace. Obviously his soon to be wife still had much to learn about him. "Last night … but only because you needed time to recover from the attack."
"Are you serious? If I said I'd like to get married to you today, you wouldn't think we were rushing?"
Puck lifted her face so he could see her eyes and she could see that he meant every word he was about to say. "I've watched over you off and on again even before that play. It was when you took over the final monologue that I saw this fire within you that stirred my soul. I sent a request to my mother for the roses and the petals – she knew that I had never done that for any woman, much less a mortal. If I hadn't been called off on a quest, the stupid arse might have never kidnapped you. Please say that you forgive me."
"There's nothing to forgive. You said it yourself that you were on a quest. If you found out I was in trouble, you would have came to my rescue, right?" Before he could say a word, Sally covered his lips with a finger. "I know you would. And you made up for that and then some last night."
Puck tightened his embraced again around her, drawing a happy sigh from Sally. "When would you like to get married love? You pick the day."
Sally looked out the curtains with a bright smile on her face. "Such a beautiful day. And it's still the same night that we went on our first date Aboveground. Too soon to marry?"
"No."
"Let's get married handsome. Today." Sally smiled as she looked up at his tearing eyes.
Before they could kiss, the sound of a throat clearing told the couple that they were not alone in his room. In a split second, the drapes on the bed opened wide. The Seelie Court representatives, Sally's family, Sarah's family, Sarah, and Jareth were all standing at the end of the bed with knowing smiles on their faces. Then a little boy worked his way to the front of Queen Tatiana and Prince Oberon.
"See Nana, I told you she was going to be family from almost the start. Would have been the start, but she had to heal from the attack."
Sally instantly known who that little boy was. "Hi Aidar. I'm happy to see you again."
"Hi auntie Sally! Did you like having your dream come true?" Aidar jumped into the bed and cuddled into her arms.
Sally gasped. He had been right, because here she was. She had ridden in a fancy carriage off to now be wed to her Prince Charming! "Yeah. Thanks kiddo."
"You're welcome auntie Sally."
Tatiana and Sally's mom, Joy, were both smiling. Neither lady had a problem with the match or the swiftness of the relationship. Joy chuckled as Aidar hugged her daughter tight. "Well, if this wedding is going to happen today, you guys had better get Puck ready and we ladies will get Sally ready."
A moment before all of the men disappeared, Jareth stole a deep kiss from Sarah – one she returned with an equal intensity. Both remembered how tightly and hungrily they held each other the night before. It had been too close a call for her father to want to separate the couple. And they feared letting go if something would happen to her in the night, so he slept on top of her covers as Puck had with Sally. Jareth only started to rest when he felt Sarah's body grow heavy in her arms as she fell into a deep sleep.
With his old smirk on his lips, Jareth winked as he snapped his fingers – making all of the men (including the groom, who didn't get to give his love a parting kiss) disappear. A loud groan echoed through the halls, sending the ladies into fits of laughter. "It's not fair!"
"Hey Sally, you have to tell your future hubby that is my line! If he wants to complain he will have to come up with one on of his own!" Sarah jumped out of the way just before a pillow the bride launched would have hit her.
While Jareth took the opportunity to tease the groom as well. "Puck, will you not take my fiancée's favorite line. After all I think she might take offence."
An hour later, the girls were all waiting for their cues to enter.
Traditionally the bride is given support from a maiden and a matron, as well as the groom gets support from one single and one married man. Sally asked Sarah to be her maiden, who only agreed when the latter was assured her friend would stand at the next wedding in the position of matron. Jareth was asked by Puck to stand opposite Sarah during the ceremony. Moves that all knew would come about.
Sally's gown was gorgeous!
The front and back panels of the bodice were crushed ivory velvet with pearl beads sprinkled about it with white lace on the edges and magical blessing in white silk thread embroidered. The back panel laced up just like a corset with silver silk sash. The side panels were made of ice blue velvet with silver beads. The bodice pulled down into a 'V' with white satin edging on the bottom.
The fitted sleeves were ice blue velvet that was covered with ivory lace, gathered up at the shoulders in gentle puffs and ended at the wrists in baroque beaded lace cuffs.
The skirt had a light hoop and two petticoats. The front panel was the same beaded and embroidered crushed ivory velvet that was in her bodice. The over skirt came around to just in front of Sally's hips, and was also ice blue velvet and silver beads. Bordering the front panel were silver silk drapings clasped in several places down with white lace catches.
A large blue crystal wrapped in pure silver was hung around her neck on a purple velvet choker. To her surprise, Sally noticed that her soon to be mother-in-law wore a similar choker.
When they had a spare moment in the chaos of the preparations, Tatiana sat beside her and smiled as she lovingly fingered her own jeweled choker. "It is the symbol of our Royal line as the rulers of Avalon. Um … consider it as an everyday sort of crown. You notice that Sarah and Jareth's necklaces are identical? Those are their symbols as the rulers of the Goblin City and the Labyrinth."
"Thanks for telling me mom. I was wondering … uh." Sally wasn't sure how to ask it.
Tatiana saw it in the nervous girl's eyes, "When we are not in Court, or formal affairs of that sort, mom is just fine with me – and Oberon too would prefer to be called dad in the same situations. During the ceremony Puck is going to bring you forward to ask our permission to be wed with you. Then Sarah will bring you forward, introduce herself and you, and then you bow and use mine and Oberon's proper titles – Queen and Lord. But this will be the only ceremony that you will ever do so. After today it is mother and father, except for outside of proper ceremonies and the like."
Sarah's gown was a 'Juliet' gown made with icy blue crushed velvet with purple and gold trims. Her hair was done up like it had been in the dream crystal ball, only with blue and violet flowers, ribbons of the same colors, and iridescent crystal beads.
Sarah giggled at how nervous Sally was, but inside the future Goblin Queen was wary as well – for her own wedding day. Karen walked over and rested a hand on Sarah's shoulder. "Seeing yourself in that position?"
"Yeah. And I'm thinking how close I came to not being able to have that day to look forward to. Karen, when you and dad decided to get married, did you get worried that he'd change his mind?" Sarah felt she was sounding silly. After all that she and Jareth had gone through, she doubted that he'd want to call their wedding off.
Karen smiled as she gently lifted Sarah's eyes to look at her. "Yes. Especially after a certain young lady was so against us. But, he didn't and Jareth won't either."
Sarah rested her head on Karen's shoulder. "I don't think that I'll be taking a vacation in the Labyrinth after graduation like we first planned."
"Sarah …" Karen was startled by her stepdaughter's words. As were all of the ladies in the room, because they had stopped and turned to look at the pair.
"I think I'll be moving into the castle beyond the Goblin City – permanently."
"What was I thinking?" Jareth asked half to himself and half to the ceiling as he rested his head back against the wall.
Puck didn't like the tone in the Goblin King's voice. He had known Jareth for far too many centuries to not be worried by that tone. "What do you mean Jareth?"
"The second Conal appeared I should have left her. But instead I propose marriage, bring her and her family to my Castle so that they could see the kingdom, and she is nearly attacked, her dearest Aboveground friend is nearly killed. Now it's too late. What have I done to Sarah?"
Unlike Puck, Michael Williams didn't take too kindly to the tone in Jareth's voice. "Now you have second thoughts. After everything I have been told of how you have loved my daughter for years … from the first time you ever noticed her on, or so you said … now you are having second thoughts? Do you have any idea how that will tear her apart?"
Jareth knew that this was to be his father-in-law, but he still did not enjoy being talked down to. "I know perfectly well how Sarah will take it! And I don't care. Right now I am only concerned with her safety. Conal …"
Michael cut his yet to be son-in-law off, as he stood up to face the Goblin King in the eye. "Will dumping her protect Sarah from Conal?"
"What?"
Michael's eye flared. "Will breaking my little girl's heart protect her from Conal?"
Jareth's shoulders sank as he faced the truth. "No."
"Then why destroy her dream? You are the one she has loved for so long, dreamed about for so long. The only reason you should even consider breaking off the engagement is that your feelings towards my Sarah have changed. Have your feelings changed towards her?"
"Never."
Michael smiled at Jareth. Yes, this King was Sarah's 'one'. "Then go make her deliriously happy for a few minutes before we all have to go into formal mode."
"Thank you father." Jareth liked having someone to say that to again. His own father died during one of the worse battles in the history of the Underground.
Appearing just outside of the Ladies' temporary quarters, Jareth produced one of his prized moon pearl roses. Before he could knock on the door, Morgan opened it with one of her looks firmly on her face. "What do you want Jareth?"
"I was hoping that you might have seen a beautiful lady this day? She is slightly shorter than me, dark hair, gorgeous brown eyes, and a smile that would send any living man's heart racing? Have you seen any lady of that description?"
Sarah could hold back her giggles. Jareth's heart lightened at the twinkling sound. No, there was no way that he'd ever give up the only woman who helped his heart to heal after over a thousand years of loneliness and grief.
"Is there a handsome Fae by the name of Puck with you, Jareth?" Sally's words shimmered out the door. She was most certainly happy about how her 'date' was turning out.
Jareth winked at Morgan, who hadn't dropped the 'what do you think you're doing here' look. "No Sally. You'll see him later. We Fae take the tradition of the groom not seeing the bride seriously."
"It's not fair! Sarah gets to see her guy! Why can't I?"
"A. You will be seeing Puck in about ten minutes. B. You're the one getting hitched on the first date. And C. Don't use my line!" Sarah counted of her points on her fingers.
Sally stood and settled one fist on her hip as she too counted off her points on her fingers. "Well, A. That is about ten minutes too long for my tastes! B. You'd be getting hitched right along with me if your dad hadn't put the condition that you have to graduate first. And C. I'll say whatever fits the situation! Now go have fun, because I plan to do the same on your day."
"You know me too well Sal! Thanks for the time off!" Sarah grinned as she rushed to the door.
However, Morgan still blocked her from Jareth's view. "The same first rule as before, only now the two of you have only nine minutes. No more than that."
Jareth could hardly wait to see how Sarah looked in the gown he sent to her. The moment he had seen the design, he knew that it was perfect for her. But, did she like it? "We understand old friend."
With a sneaky grin, Morgan nodded and stepped back. The next moment Sarah found herself propelled forward and the door shut tight behind her. Looking up at her love, Sarah saw that Jareth was blanched with surprised.
Jareth had to force himself to remember to breath. He knew that the dress would look lovely on her, but for her to be so ravishing … it took his breath away. In fact he couldn't think of anything to say at first.
"Can I take your silence as approval?" Sarah teased as she rested her hand in his numbly offered one.
Jareth quickly regained his composure at that, knowing that they had little time together. "I never imagined you could look so lovely. A gift for my beloved."
He brought out the moon pearl rose, and was pleased to see his love was visibly affected by the gift. Jareth wrapped the stem of the blossom around Sarah's wrist and lower arm to make it a cuff. Sarah still had yet to say a word as she lovingly looked at his gift. Jareth pulled his love into his arms. "Can I take your silence as approval?"
That brought a smile to Sarah's face and a chuckle to her eyes and throat. "Yes. I love you so much, Jareth."
"As I love you my dearest Sarah. Let's take a walk, before we have to go through the ceremony."
Sarah nodded and snuggled in his arms as they moved down the hallway and through his magic teleported them to the spot he knew Sarah would recognize without a doubt. Jareth knew of Sarah's love of fantasy, and her awe of Avalon. He knew that she knew about many of this island's features, but since they had arrived after dark he knew that she didn't see much beyond the buildings and the Tor.
"Jareth? Is this really the golden apple orchard?" Sarah gasped spun around as he let her walk a few paces ahead of him. The tress were in the last days of full bloom – just nearing the days of fruiting – and she was looking up with a wonder in her eyes that Jareth never dared to hope he would be privileged to witness in person himself.
"I knew that you couldn't see it when we arrived last night, so this is one place I wanted to share with you." Jareth enjoyed her smile and laughter. To know that she wanted to be with him for the rest of their lives, it just made the day all the better.
Sarah sighed and relaxed in his arms completely as Jareth moved up behind her and pulled her into his embrace. "I have always dreamed of this place. Seeing it for real, it's more magnificent than even my wildest dreams. Thank you my love."
"I have one more place we can go before we have to return you to the ladies. Close your eyes my sweet." Sarah did as he asked.
She had become used to the off feelings she'd get from Jareth teleporting them from one place to another. In moments she knew that they could literally be anywhere. "Okay Sarah, you can open your eyes now."
Grasping his hands in hers, Sarah slowly opened her eyes and sighed in shock. "The oak grove! Jareth, I … oh."
Jareth could see on her face that she was in a bliss she never imagined. When she turned in his arms with such a serious look in her eyes, Jareth's heart fell. Had she changed her mind?
"I made a decision earlier … before you came to the door. Please don't say a word until I'm finished, okay?" Sarah looked so frightened. That cinched the future they both had dreamed of closed in his heart. Conal had succeded in tearing Sarah from his arms after all. Numbly, Jareth nodded.
"Perfect place for beginnings. This should begin here as well. I've changed my mind about the plan that I come Underground on vacation after graduation." Sarah took a breath.
Jareth felt his world collapsing. He fought hard to keep his tears at bay. For her, he would remain strong.
Sarah could see that he was taking her words the wrong way. "I was hoping that you wouldn't mind it if I just went ahead and moved in permanently."
That nearly sent Jareth to the ground in shock. In fact, Sarah had to hold him up for a moment. "You haven't changed your mind about us?"
"Never. I love you. Conal scares me, yes. But, I know that no matter what you and our friends will do all you can to keep me safe."
Jareth twirled her in the air, bringing shimmering laughter from Sarah. They both were laughing as he pulled her tight to his chest.
^Two minute warning for you two. And this ceremony had better not be held up by the single supporters running late.^ Morgan sent out so sharp that there was no room to wonder whether or not she was serious.
Slowly Sarah and Jareth started walking back towards the main buildings. Then Sarah thought of a wonderful gift she could give him. But would it be too much at one time? "Jareth? Do you think we can marry soon?"
"Whenever you wish my love."
Sarah bit her lip lightly to keep from giggling. After a beat, she went on. "You know that dad said I have to graduate high school first."
"Yes." Jareth stopped with her in front of the door to Puck's room.
"Well, that happens Saturday afternoon. So, do you think that Saturday night would be too soon for us to marry?" Sarah was ready for his rebuff, but not for what she got.
Jareth took her into his arms and spun her around in his joy! "Of course that wouldn't be too soon, my love! Oh Gods, how I love you Sarah Rachel Elisabeth Williams!"
Sally opened the door as the pair was in a deep kiss. "That is not fair! He's gonna be at the graduation, so how can you get away with that groom not seeing the bride remark?"
"You saw Puck this morning!" Sarah half panted as she reluctantly broke off the kiss.
"So? We didn't plan getting hitched until we woke up. Now what's your excuse?" Sally smirked.
Morgan interceded. "Sally, the tradition only goes towards the time needed to prepare the bride at the least. So, Sarah and Jareth can see one another until at least two hours before they plan their wedding to take place."
Sarah took her turn to smirk. Morgan couldn't help shaking her head at the pair of Ladies she had come to care for. "Now I believe it is time to start this wedding. Until later Jareth."
Knowing full well that the sooner he left the sooner he would see her again, Jareth quickly placed a fast but deep kiss on her future bride before teleporting himself back to the men.
Michael had a knowing grin on his face. "So, is the wedding still on?"
"Yes, and Sarah has chosen the date and a vague time." Jareth wondered how his soon to be father-in-law was going to take this news. Seeing that everyone was now waiting for the official date on the death sentence to the Goblin King's bachelorhood. "Sometime this coming Saturday night."
Puck busted out laughing at that. "Well your mom's right! I am a bad influence on you!"
"With Conal coming so close to ending our future, as well as the future you and Sally will soon share, it upset her severely last night. Sarah just doesn't want to risk anything else happening that could jeopardize our future." Jareth waited for the shouting match he and Michael would probably have.
Michael smiled and set a hand on Jareth's shoulder. "As long as Sarah can graduate a single woman. Her mom and I had to get married three days before graduation – it was to get Linda out of an abusive home and what would have been an abusive arranged marriage. Linda asked me when she left us for her career that no matter what to make sure that Sarah graduated high school single. I think we can honor that one request, for Sarah's sake."
Jareth nodded. He could see that having this man in his life was not going to be bad at all.
I know that this one is long.
Kinda got carried away with it.
So how is it so far?
