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 Eight: End Days, Grapevines, and Sweet Revenge

First Puck announced that he was raising his bride to his equal in all matters. He and Sally stood before everyone. Puck touched his blue jewel, which caused it to warm and glow. He took her hand and rested it against his stone, which enveloped her with a light sky blue light. Instinctively, Sally touched her own stone. It glowed, and then she rested Puck's hand on the jewel. He then became enveloped by the same light as she was.

Physically Sally looked the same, except for that one of her gray eyes were now blue. But she was no longer a human. Puck had given her the same path Jareth had offered Sarah, and Sally took it. Sally was now a Fae in all ways.

Unlike Aboveground the garter wasn't thrown to the men. The only item thrown was Sally's bouquet – to all of the single and engaged women, in order to see who was the next to be wed.

Sally was blindfolded and spun so that she couldn't see to whom she was throwing it to so that it would be a fair catch for the next bride to go the alter. It went up and fell into Sarah's hands. Though the ladies applauded, outside of those who actually congratulated the future Goblin Queen, they hardly hid their contempt for the mortal who held Jareth's heart.

Sarah made sure she noted the names of all her congratulators, and then made her way to her fiancé. "Hey love."

"My Sarah. You seem to be enjoying yourself, beloved." Jareth grinned as he pulled her close to his side. None could say a word against the couple.

Once he was able to move away from the diplomats, Jareth secreted himself and Sarah past the edge to the celebration. "I think that catch of yours showed everyone our plans, my love. It still angers me that they would disrespect you before the entire Seelie Court."

Sarah wrapped her arms around his neck. "Jareth, not all of them were showing contempt towards me. I talked to six who were truly happy with our engagement."

"Then I shall invite them myself. How did I get so lucky as to get you back in my life?" Jareth sighed as he rested his forehead against hers.

"You gave me my freedom, but kept me safe until I saw the truth. I'm the one who is lucky to have you. I was so stupid to throw your love back in your face." Sarah tried to not cry, but one tear defiantly rolled down her face.

Jareth wiped the tear with his thumb before softly kissing her lips. "We've been over this before, my love. You were too young at the time and I was stubborn. I wanted you right then, but I finally saw that you weren't ready to be with me."

Sarah smiled and kissed him back. "Now I know that I'm ready. But, are you ready for me?"

"Well, we will have to wait for Saturday night to find out for certain. I love you Lady Sarah Williams." Jareth again claimed her lips.

Sarah smiled as he pulled back to look at her eyes. "I love you more King Jareth. I don't even know your last name."

"Kelwyn."

Sarah blinked at that. "What?"

"Jareth Ronald Sage Kelwyn. It's my full name." Jareth bit his lip and looked at the ground.

"Sarah Rachel Elisabeth Kelwyn. I like the sound of that. And I finally know my soon to be husband's full name."

Jareth looked up in wonder. "I thought you wouldn't like it."

"Jareth, it's our name. Do you remember when we were in the Globe Theater … before Conal interrupted us? A rose by any other name, my love." Sarah snuggled against his chest. "Let's get back before Morgan sends us a threat or two."

That brought a smile back to the Goblin King's face. During their short walk back to the party he stood tall again, as he held her close to his side.

Puck and Sally were still dancing, their eyes locked on each other in happiness. With only a look from her love, Sarah could see what he longed to do – another dance with her in his arms. Jareth smiled proudly as he led his future bride out on the dance floor just as an Aboveground song both Sarah and Sally adored began to play.

From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on

From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on

I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on

You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on

Sally sighed as she stretched the next morning. It was her first morning as Puck's wife, a Princess, and a Fae. She had always dreamed of falling in love with a handsome Prince, but just never believed that her dreams would come so completely true.

The celebration had lasted until well after moonrise. Sally never thought she'd have the kind of reception that her in-laws had prepared for her and Puck. The feast went on through out the night. There were acrobats, jugglers, minstrels, bards, and so many other performers that Sally felt like she was at one of the Renaissance festivals Sarah had got her interested in.

She and Puck had danced nearly every dance together – except for when she danced with her new father, Lord Oberon, and Jareth. By the time they were able to finally slip away, her feet were aching. But she and Sarah did have fun dancing around the May Pole with the other ladies.

Then there were contests. Jareth won out in the fencing, but Puck was the champion of the archery competition.

Sarah got hooked into telling her version of her first trip to the Underground, which Jareth sat back and enjoyed thoroughly (to Sarah's annoyance). Then Aidar told everyone about how Sally saved his life. The truth finally came out that he'd been secretly prodding his grandparents to plan the wedding festivities since that day. Sally was shocked, but still adored her little nephew.

Before long, Sally was pulled away by her supporters and mother-in-law to get ready for the wedding night. She soaked in a tub of water that was scented with lavender, roses, and heather – all of Sally's favorites (and now she knew through the bonding magic that Puck had used to change her into a Fae that they there were Puck's as well).

Sally pulled herself out of the tub after only twenty minutes. She might have been excited about that night, but a part of her was still slightly afraid of it too.

She dressed in a shimmering white chemise, and her hair was combed until it shined in the moonlight and candles. Once she was dressed the others left her to get herself emotionally ready.

Sally could sense Puck and the others approaching, and felt her nerves fray from the wait. But Puck felt her fear and sent calming thoughts to her. By the time the others had escorted him to his door (hazing him every step of the way of course), she felt like she was ready.

When he first saw Sally in her chemise, Puck couldn't think of a word to say. She was beautiful and so angelic. But he also knew that his bride was scared of the night that lay ahead of them both. He gently took her into his arms and held Sally close to his chest.

"If you're that frightened my love, I'll wait. We don't have to do anything you're not ready for tonight."

If anything was left of her fears, his words brushed them all away. Sally looked up at her now husband with a smile. "I'm ready Puck. It's just the scary stories my friends told me about the first time that had me worried. I know that tonight will be different because you will take care of me. I love you, my husband."

And Sally had been proven right (three times to be exact). Yes the first time hurt, but that didn't really last and it wasn't as horrid as all her more loose friends had told her it had been for them.

Now she woke up to Puck beside her for a second time, but this time they were sharing the same covers.

As she had the previous morning, Sally carefully slid over to rest next to her sleeping husband. Again he almost immediately took her into his arms. "Good morning, my Sally. Ready to see what fun that arse had last night?"

Sally chuckled with a stunned look on her face. "Do you know that with our date, the attack, the wedding, and last night that I completely forgot about Joe?"

"Good. Then I did my job well as your husband to make you forget an ex of yours so thoroughly."

"You could remind me just how you achieved that." Sally teased.

But before Puck could oblige his new wife, the room changed and a shrill beeping interrupted them. "We get the message mom!"

"Time for school?" Sally sighed in defeat when Puck nodded.

They both showered together, taking too much time (as newlyweds often do). But, instead of Puck using magic to change Sally's appearance – his wife did so for herself for the first time.

After picking out an outfit, Sally dried her body with a snap of her fingers. Brushing her hand down the air in front of her, Sally's clothes were now on her body and the towel on her bed. A quick spell later and her hair was done up in a French braid.

Puck himself turned once and was completely ready for the day. However, his little innocence look did nothing on his wife, "showoff!"

The pair rushed down the stairs and out the door for 'his' convertible red corvette. That did do a number on his wife. "Puck my darling, I must say that you have excellent tastes in cars."

"And in Ladies, given that my wife is the best of all the Aboveground." He chuckled as he pulled Sally into his arms.

But a throat clearing interrupted them. The pair was shocked to see a young blonde man in blue jeans and a black shirt that said 'King' in silver on the front possessively holding Sarah at his side. But, after a beat or two, Puck saw through the glamour spell. "Jareth! Deciding to go retro, huh? A good look for you my friend."

"Oh, I see him now! Sorry Jareth, it's going to take me a while to get used to magic." Sally said once she was sure they wouldn't be overheard.

Jareth winked as he squeezed Sarah in his embrace. "All things take practice Princess Sally, even magic. Otherwise you would have noticed that the time spell I put up hasn't worn off yet. As to your wife being the best Lady Aboveground Puck, I think you and I will forever argue that point."

"Okay, how about that I have the best new wife in all of the Aboveground? Will that save us any arguing?" Puck winked as he wrapped his arms around Sally, who shared the same 'I can't believe that they are actually doing this' look on her face.

Jareth simply held an increasingly annoyed Sarah tighter as he grinned at his long time friend. "That will work for now. However, you realize that come Saturday night we will be suffering through this all over again."

That's where Sarah put her foot down. "Jareth my dear, come Saturday night we will be home. And if they see us before noon Monday, it will be a miracle."

"And I have my cousin coming in to take care of things until at the least Friday. Oh, well." Jareth innocently mentioned.

Sally and Puck were fighting to keep from breaking down into tears. Sarah simply slipped on her most naïve face and turned to face her fiancé. "Only Friday? What makes you want to get to work so soon?"

That ripped howls of laughter from the newlyweds and the Goblin King. But those settled when the rulers of Avalon showed up.

"Jareth, that spell of yours is growing thin. If you were planning on chit chatting, then you shouldn't have placed a time limit on it. Off to school kids, you two wanted to personally protect the girls – now it is your duties." Tatiana leveled before them.

Oberon grinned. "That includes what I believe are called finals."

"Yeah, but Seniors get to sign off on them if they make grade of 'C' or better. Which we already have for our class with 'Ms. Seliecourt'." Sally smiled up at her love.

Sarah was staring up at Jareth in shock however. "You asked to stay with me during school? And here I thought that you were dressing like this so I could show you off and make the gals all green with envy."

"You dislike my being with you all day?" Jareth started to look hurt by it.

Sarah grinned half-heartedly at it. He was still taking things the wrong way with her … this was going to make married life hard, but she'd do anything to be his. "I love it. Except the girls I planned to make envious of me will be making passes at my guy all day. Who's to say that you won't find a prettier or smarter or more interesting girl than me?"

At that Jareth firmly planted a deep and passionate kiss on her lips. Sally kept an eye on her watch, just to see how far they could go before needing air – a rushed three minutes, she was sure that they'd be able to do much better than that if the warning bell for first period wasn't going to ring soon. But for Sarah it had been an eternity and only moments at the same time since the kiss took hold of her thoughts.

Jareth looked at her longingly as she slowly came back to her senses. "Now do you think that some inadequate mortal could take your place in my heart?"

"I don't think so. But, I won't like them making passes at you! You're still my King and my fiancé." Sarah proclaimed with a voice that dared him to say otherwise.

Jareth looked at those so sweet kiss swollen lips and the heated emeralds that made up her eyes and knew that no other could satisfy him – heart, body, and soul – so completely. "As you shall always be my Queen, my love, and my fiancée. Now shall we go to class?"

That made Sally and Puck chuckled schemingly. Both tried pathetically to look innocent. But Tatiana interrupted. "If I get a call that you four are late or miss school you will all be grounded for the entire summer in separate bedrooms!"

At that the two couples ran for the car and squealed off towards the local high school. Oberon chuckled as he pulled his wife into his arms. "You wouldn't have really separated those four would you?"

"Of course not! I personally like being a grandparent. How about we go remember our first day as husband and wife?" She winked as she shimmered back to Avalon, with a very provoked Oberon chasing after her.

The group finally parked in front of the school just as the time spell wore off. And just as she had predicted, Sarah groaned as the cheerleading squad drew over to the car – eyeballing both Puck and Jareth.

The Senior Captain, Missy Hendal, giggled that annoying laugh and winked at Jareth. While her Co-Captain, Jena Loreton, was sighing at Puck. The guys ignored both stunned women, as they each helped their own lady out of the car. But neither felt bad by adding a little insult to injury.

"Sarah my dear, do you think the wedding can be planned so quickly? After all Saturday night, and with graduation that day?" Jareth smiled and winked at her.

When Sarah saw Missy turning green and glaring daggers, she knew that Jareth had brought up the wedding on purpose. "Love, I know we can. After all we have been through, can you really say it would be impossible to do?"

Jena had a superior look on her face as she looked at Missy, until Puck winked at his bride. "Well, you saw what could be done in two hours. My family may have been half heartedly planning it all along, but we didn't pull it together until a certain lovely lady agreed to be my wife and decided to not wait to get married to me."

Sally and Sarah both fought desperately to not laugh, but it was a hard battle. Sarah coughed slightly before she attempted to speak. "See Jareth my love, we have time. So please stop worrying. Oh yes … Sally, don't forget your name change form has to get turned in before first period."

"Yes mommy dearest, is there anything else?" Sally shot playfully.

Jareth looked at Puck and chuckled. "Hey Rob, how did we end up with the sweetest, smartest, kindest, bravest, and most beautiful looking Ladies in school?"

"I'm still wondering how I convinced mine to marry me."

Sarah and Sally were both blushing furiously at that, but knew that their loves were making a point. Missy huffed injuredly.

"This coming from two hottie wanna be's who are choosing the freak and her little geek over the coolest and hottest looking girls in this school."

"Yeah. After all, two handsome hunks like yourselves don't want to be stuck with those two, right? Jena brushed up against Puck playfully, but backed off when he gave her a dirty glare equal to his wife's.

Jareth barely held back his anger at how his beloved was belittled right in front of him. The only thing that held him back from striking the whore in the face was that his Sarah had a tight hold on his hand at that moment. "Sarah is neither a freak nor a geek. And if any of you speak ill of her again before this day is out, it will come back to haunt you dearly."

"And I believe that Jareth will agree with me that Sarah and Sally are true Ladies and little girls. Personally, I don't go for little girls."

As the foursome started out of the parking lot, Sarah turned back to smile at Missy and her flunkies. "Missy, my fiancé is very serious about his warning. Everything you give out today you will get back."

Once they were in the hallway and on the way to the office all four broke down into tears of laughter. Jareth finally kissed Sarah's cheek and whispered, "see now that you are my only one?"

Sarah lovingly looked in his eyes and nodded.

"Sarah! Sally! Burning news hot from the grapevine!" Pauline Harris practically screamed from behind the group. Once she caught up with them, the poster child nerd looked over both men with a hungry stare. "Oo, oo, oo … so who are the cuties?"

"Sally's husband Rob and my fiancé Jareth. So, what is this hot news?" Sarah shot with a look that told the other girl to not push her luck.

"Dang two more hotties off the singles list. Anyway, I was babysitting for my uncle late last night. He runs the local animal shelter," Pauline looked at the new guys. "He was called to the rich neighborhood. It seems that a donkey was trying to kick in Joe Naulton's front door! Anyway, my uncle drugged the thing and puts it in one of the largest cages we have so it can sleep off the medication. This morning I nagged him into letting me see it, but instead of a donkey was a naked Joe Naulton snoring away!"

Sally was starting to turn red in the face from holding back her laughter. Sarah gave her friend a suspicious look as she spoke. "Um, does the rest of the grapevine know about this?"

"Duh Sarah, I called them all before I left for school. Listen I see some more people who haven't heard yet. See you all later. Oh and congrats you girls. Luckys find two dreams and I'm left with the flat lines of the real world! Oh well!" And with that Pauline rushed off to talk with someone else.

Sarah grabbed Sally, both of who were followed into a nearby empty classroom by their significant others. Once in privacy, Sally broke down into tears of laughter along with Puck. After a few moments they calmed down.

"When I was getting ready to go out on my date with Puck, Joe showed up and tried to rape me." Sally got out, sobering the mood.

Sarah's eyes showed worry, while Jareth's showed pure hate. Puck held up a hand for calm. "I came in before he got much further than touching and kissing my wife to be. Since he was attempting to play the part of an arse … I simply helped to not only get him into his character, but his costuming as well." That sent all four of them into howls of laughter.

By homeroom, Sally's last name was Avalon and both guys had all of the same classes as their Ladies. The four of them were seated in a tight square on the opposite side of the room when Joe walked in looking a little embarrassed. By the time he finally managed to get a seat near the front of the class, the room was filled with barely stifled giggles and laughs. One hidden imitation of a donkey bray was all that was needed to send the room into full laughter.

After being threatened with not being allowed to go to the Senior breakfast, everyone quieted down, but obviously the damage had been done.

The Senior class was soon after herded onto buses and driven to a fancy dockside restaurant. Jareth and Puck didn't let their Ladies anywhere out of their sights, and purposely praised the girls when others tried to steal the guys or put down the Ladies.

All four were thankful that this annual tradition happened to fall on that morning – as none of them had anything to eat before rushing off to school. They sat at one table next to the windows to get a better view of the ocean. To Sarah and Sally's delight a pod of dolphins came by playing seemingly only for them.

Jareth casually whispered to Sarah of a friend being not far from the pod. That was when she saw Lady Coventina smiling and waving at them. Sarah and Jareth both gave a slight nod, while the Goblin King sent a message of thanks to his old friend. After a few minutes the Undine and the dolphin swam away, allowing the gathering to settle down.

They all ate well and chatted about how well the morning had gone. Then the musicians began to play near an open dance floor. Jareth couldn't resist the touch of nostalgia. He sent the knowledge of the song he had sang to Sarah – including an intro he had written specifically for their next dance – and asked her to dance with him.

As they dance, he sang to her with all the passion in his heart. For a time, they were the only beings in the world. In that brief amount of time, all of the pain they had suffered through disappeared. But, all too soon, the dance ended – revealing that the entire class body was standing around the dance floor listening to Jareth and watching the happy couple dance. The students (Puck and Sally especially so) clapped and cheered, bringing a blush to Sarah's cheeks.

All of the classes went smoothly. None of the teachers or students noticed that Jareth and Rob had not been in that school before that day. And in each class the couples were inseparable.

At lunch, the girls were relieved that the trio had decided to honor Sarah's decision to simply move into the Castle beyond the Goblin City by providing a terrific lunch for the four. They all agreed that they were needed at the Castle for the final preparations rather than causing trouble for Sarah and Jareth. But, Sarah made them promise to go out with her and Jareth on a picnic once she was settled in.

As the four ate they enjoyed the afternoon sun and breeze. They talked about the differences in an Avalon and a Labyrinth wedding, about the plans for the wedding ball (as it had become) Jareth had planned. How the Goblins couldn't wait to greet their Queen. As well as other Underground business.

However, their peaceful picnic was interrupted by Joe and four of his football goons (all of who were snickering behind his back). "Sally, my girl! Listen could you help me out. None of the guys will believe me that we were out on a date last night."

Sally wrapped Puck's arms around her as she relaxed even more against his chest (hoping to keep him from casting a spell in public). "And exactly why would I say that? I meant I was with these guys at my wedding to this guy right here."

Joe was stumped for a moment, but recovered the second his eyes set on Sarah. "Yeah, we were all there. Did I tell you guys that Sarah and I are going steady now?"

"Maybe in your fantasies and my worse nightmares! I'm getting married to this hunk a few hours after graduation. Now why don't you be a good boy and tell everyone the truth about what you were up to last night. I'm sure that it would make for an interesting story." Sarah spoke with an air that befitted the true Queen Jareth had always seen buried within her.

However, Jareth wasn't going to let the boy slip away without at the least a warning. "And if you ever dare to insinuate that you have stolen my future wife from me in public again, you will wish I would have simply put you in a hole and forgot that you exist."

Joe buffed himself up in front of the unimpressed couples. "You think you can threaten me with my home boys backing me up?"

"Um, exactly where are your 'home boys'?" Puck asked with an eyebrow raised.

Joe turned around to see that the other four guys had left him there on his own. "We'll see you two bitches! We'll see!"

He turned and ran off to look for his friends. Sarah looked up at Jareth with real fear in her eyes. "Jareth …"

"Don't worry so Lady Sarah, he is about to solve the very problem that he threatens us with." Morgan walked up from the other direction.

Jareth settled back, but was still visibly upset. "I doubt he will leave Sarah or Sally alone after that."

Morgan smiled with a look of secreted knowledge on her face. "You will soon see."

As always, Morgan was right. Joe finally told the entire truth, even about how he had went to Sally's to force her into sex, to his friends. The school Principal overheard him and called the guy's parents in. By the time Drama class was letting out for the two couples, he was on his way to visit his first of many mental hospitals.

At the end of the day was English Literature with Ms. Seliecourt. Walking up to the classroom, the four noticed that something was off when Morgan gave them a knowing smile.

"I hoped that you enjoyed your date, Sally. And Sarah, you are looking much happier than any day of this past year! I believe you've place yourself in some good company." Morgan winked as the four came upon her.

Sarah looked up at her future husband and knew that it was the truth; he made her happier than she had ever felt in her entire life. "Jareth makes me better than I ever could be on my own."

"Just as you do me, my beloved."

"That's why I have rewritten the class schedule. Go in and have a seat and I will tell everyone in a moment." Morgan had a playful look in her eyes that left the four wondering what she had planned for them.

Once everyone was seated and the last bell rang she got to business. "I'm sure by now everyone has heard about Sally and Rob's nuptials, as well as Sarah and Jareth's engagement."

That brought a round of applause from the class. Once they all settled down Morgan continued. "Since all of you have you papers back, and these are some of the best reasons to get away with a celebration (that brought more applauds and some cheers), we will be rearranging our class schedules. Today is a party for the four of them … and the graduating class of 1989. Starting tomorrow you may all skip this class and go home early."

The class erupted with louder cheers and applauds. Once they again quieted down Morgan continued. "This is mostly because Ms. Williams is going to need all the time she can get to plan out her wedding after graduation. Scared of losing this one aren't you two?"

Jareth spoke up first, "I know that I won't lose my Sarah. And I wouldn't leave her even if it meant my life. After all who gets lucky enough to find a girl who'd put up with my family duties?"

Everyone laughed at it, but only five understood it. Sarah smiled at him with a tear in her eye. "I'd even suffer through the fires of … heck, I said heck people! Who finds a guy who is willing to give the girl up to make her happy and wait around for her to see that she wants to be with him?"

All the girls ohhed at that, while the guys mimed gagging poses. But it was beautiful to Jareth, and that was all that Sarah cared about – her love knew exactly how she felt for him.

Morgan chuckled. "Well then, what is a celebration with food and drinks? Come and get it all."

She took a blanket off of the table (which grew to twice the size it seemed before) to show all kinds of food. Beside the table was a large garbage can full of ice and sodas. The group chowed down gleefully. Some came up and talked to the two couples (giving Sarah their ideas for her wedding – the guys trying to give Jareth some pointers), but most talked in small groups or watched TV.

Fifteen minutes before the bell, the table and room was clean. Morgan winked at the foursome. "Well, I heard the bell ring … so see all of you at graduation. And do stay out of trouble!"

In less than half the time it took to clean the room, it was cleared out excluding the two couples and Queen Morgan.

"Well, I am needed back Underground. Have fun you four, and I'll see all of you later." Without a goodbye said, Morgan disappeared.

Sally rested heavily on Puck's shoulder. "I feel like going home. How about the rest of you?"

"That's the best idea I have heard all day! Oh, Karen and I are going to go over the wedding details when I get home! When will I get any sleep?" Sarah moaned as she snuggled into Jareth's arms.

He smiled and held her tight a moment. "I'll let you sleep now and again during the honeymoon, alright love?"

Sarah nodded as the four of them made it to the car and drove to her place. So much to do and so little time to do it in!

How was that everyone?

Did I teach Joe a good lesson or what?

Please do review, it just makes my forever!
