A/N: Thanks again faithful readers. In reply to the lengthen chapters
request. As I mentioned in first chapter I am attempting to avoid babbling
and loosing all my readers.
I think it's about time for a Sarah and Jareth reunion. Oh and a special
plead Jareth is kind in this please do not throw me in the bog for doing
this to his character.

It had been two weeks that Sarah had came back to the underground. She was busy learning all she could about the history of her kingdom, attempting to govern it. And there were also the consistent fittings. She had many gowns made each intricate and reflecting nature at its most pure and most beautiful.
When the ladies brought in her bridle gown, Sarah started to cry. The last two weeks, she tried as hard as she could to accept her fate, but she could not help but to feel despair. She had to marry Jareth.
The next morning the sun rose through the windows, she climbed out of bed and sat at a vanity. Sarah gazed at the mirror, she was amusing her self with glamour magic, and she could make her self look like anything, a goblin, and a dwarf. Then she decided she wanted to see how she would look as herself.
She closed her eyes, and let all the glamour fade from her appearance. When she opened them she couldn't believe it.
Her hair had changed so that strands of pure gold weaved through it and sparkled. Her eyes changed to an emerald green. She had a slightly smaller nose, and her ears pointed. Her skin glowed with a silver sheen.
"Your majesty," Ladoros started then gasped. "Forgive me my lady, but you are more exquisite then I possibly could imagine. I came to tell you that we must journey to the Goblin Kingdom, the wedding is to take place in 13 days."
"I thought it was to be on my birthday?" Although it was only a day, it was one day sooner then she wanted.
"My lady I know this is difficult for you. If I could have you married today I would." He sighed heavily, "It would be for your own protection."
"My protection, what makes you think he would protect me." She said angrily.
"My lady I hate to bring you this news. I know you do not remember your father, and to say what I must say might hurt you more then I can imagine. We have spies many spies; one of the spies has told me your father escaped from prison. I can only imagine he wants revenge on the Goblin King. He will stop at nothing to get what he wants." He paused for a moment then held her hand. "He might attempt to kill you"
Sarah shook in her seat, "Why would he do that, I am his daughter."
"Sariya, that would not matter to him, you are the only thing that is keeping him from regaining the kingdom."
Sarah had begun to cry, she never felt so lost and so alone.
"I have already spoken with King Jareth regarding this, he also feels the sooner we have you out of the kingdom the better."
"Jareth knows I'm here?" Sarah swallowed hard.
"Of course my lady he was informed of your return, he is most anxious to meet you.
"I would not count on that." She sighed heavily.
They left immediately; Sarah stared out the coach, wondering how Jareth would react when he saw her. Even though she looked like an elf, she still retained her looks. Jareth would recognize her. She thought maybe it was time she confessed.
"Ladoros," She started.
"Yes your majesty."
"There is something I must tell you." She then filled Ladoros on how her father had given her the book, and how she had wished Toby away.
"And you were able to return then, with this Toby?" He asked.
"Yes."
"Then that means you conquered it, you beat Jareth at his own game." He started to laugh.
"I am not sure what you find so amusing?" She wondered what possibly be so funny.
"I am terribly sorry my lady, but you see, if you could not have been found, then you still would have married the Goblin King."
"What!" She almost shouted.
"You see my lady, about one year ago the high council had proclaimed that if the Elf Princess was not found, then Jareth was to marry the only girl who had conquered the Labyrinth. It is almost if you two were fated to be together"
Sarah groaned, she had to marry Jareth; there was no way out of it.
Jareth paced nervously, he was not looking forward to meeting the Elf Queen. The prospect of marrying Sarah had come and gone. Although he had never admitted it to her, he loved her very deeply but now he had to forget about her.
He was also concerned, he knew Amándir had escaped, and feared he would attack at any moment, His army was ready for anything, however it wasn't as large as it should be.
Then it came to him the perfect plan. He would marry the Queen when she arrived, the formal wedding would only be for show, and hopefully lure Amándir out of hiding.
The carriage went through the familiar gate on the outskirts of the labyrinth. The carriage seemed to have a special path as it drove toward the goblin city.
Then it stopped Ladoros stepped out and walked around, and opened the door, and escorted her to the door.
The door opened and a very familiar face looked at her shocked.
"Hello Hoggle," Sarah smiled, she kneeled down and gave the dwarf a hug.
"Well let's get this over with then." Hoggle said nervously.
Sarah took a deep breath in. Hoggle escorted them to the throne room.
"Let me speak first my lady" Ladoros stated.
Sarah nodded.
Jareth was looking out the window.
"King Jareth, I have brought Queen Sariya."
Jareth turned to greet them. He gasped no it couldn't be. "Sarah!" He walked over to her, looked her up and down then walked behind her.
"What are you doing Jareth?" She asked angrily.
He lifted her hair, directly on the back of her neck was his mark.
"A mark, Sarah, One that was given to you at birth. Well I am sure you will not like my plan."
"What plan would that be?"
"Well first I must ask if you prefer Sarah or Sariya."
"I'm still debating that myself." She sighed
"Well for now I will call you Sarah, unless you ask otherwise. I am sure your counsel has informed you of your fathers past behavior, and if I'm not mistaken, his possible future plans."
Sarah nodded.
"Good, then I feel it is for the best, that the Wedding is for show only, we should marry immediately, the council would then support me in building a defense against King Amándir."
"Jareth, I find out I am a queen two weeks ago, and I'm expected to leave the life I have know for almost 21 years and rule a kingdom I know nothing of. Then to top it off I am told that I am engaged to you, the Goblin King and we have to marry." She started to cry.
"I am sorry Sarah, you know I knew when I saw you, you seemed familiar, and I remember picking you up, your eyes held no fear of me, they still do not." He said calmly
Sarah sighed. "Very well then, but don't expect me to kiss you." She glared at him.
He attempted a smile, he was afraid it would go this way; he assumed she would have this reaction.
Jareth summoned a fae council member who also inspected the marking on her neck. They were married immediately.
"My lady," Ladoros spoke, "I must take my leave now there is much to do to ready an army."
"Thank you Ladoros for everything." Sarah smiled at him.
"You must be tired from your journey, I have prepared a room for you, I hope you will find everything you require." He said gently.
Sarah followed him, there was something different about him, then she remembered, something more gentle.
"Here it is, if you need anything, my room is down the hall and to the left. Or you can call for a servant." Jareth opened the door to the room. "Rest well Sarah."
"Thank you." She went in the room, it was more beautiful then her room at the elf kingdom. Then she lay on the bed and started to cry.
