Kay, sorry I haven't posted in a while, but between all sorts of stress in my life, I couldn't find time to
write much. Anyways, here is a quick chapter and I will update more soon. PROMISE! Oh, and for those few
who are waiting for an update on What If... I should have that updated soon.

Mara looked at her mother in open shock and a look of panic crossed Jareth's face. "Say WHAT!" Mara yelled.
"You have got to be kidding Mom! Come on, nobody's that heartless!" (AN: Kudos if you can tell me where that
quote is from!) Sarah shot Mara a look that clearly said, 'Try me!' Mara slumped slightly in her seat, looking
for all the world like a lost little girl. "You wouldn't do that to me, would you Mommy?" Sarah fixed her
only child with a disbelieving stare.
"Mara Shaylee King, do not EVEN start the 'pitiful me' shit with me..." However, Jareth decided to inturupt the
lecture before it started.
"Shaylee? Where did you find the name Shaylee?" Pinning Mara with one more look that clearly said 'Behave!'
she turned to answer her husband.
"Shaylee means Fairy princess of the field in Gaelic, I found it on the internet one day. And since you are
probably going to ask, Mara means Sorrowful or Bitter. Anymore questions?" Jareth shook his head at the
deadly look his wife was sending him. Nodding with satisfaction, Sarah turned back to her sulking offspring.
"Now Mara, you can either get along with your father, or you can go and live with him for a month," she quickly
turned to Jareth before he could inturupt. "And the subject is not up for debate, Jareth. You two WILL learn
to get along, even if it kills the both of you!" Sarah glared at the two of them before continuing. "Mara,
I want you to take your father out with you today. And no buts!" Mara glared at her mother, keeping all snide
comments to herself, for now. "Jareth, you are going to spend the day with your daughter and please change into
something that won't draw attention to yourself..."
"Our daughter will draw more attention than I ever could so why should I even bother..."
"I don't have to put up with this you egotistical, self centered..."
"I wish you would both go to the Labyrinth, right NOW!" As the shocked pair looked at Sarah, she smiled and
waved at them. "See you in a month you two!" And both of them abruptly vanished from sight.

Yes, I know that it was extremly short, but the next chapter will be longer. And basically I am going to do a
chapter for each day the two spend together. Shall we find out how well the adjust?
