CS: *pulls the camera up to her head* My face is up here!

Spike: I was just admiring the view! *trys to dip again*

CS: ALL RIGHT THAT'S IT!!!

- INTERMISSION-

*finally comes back into focus. The camera shows Claire- she is now using a "fear" camera- y'know, the ones strapped to your body?*

CS: Okay, last time Jareth told his decision to Rei. Now it's time for Sarah to know.

Chapter Fourteen: "Too Many Choices Tear Us Apart, I Don't Want to Love Like That"

Sarah sat in the middle of the garden. The sensation that filled her senses was amazing. The colors brightened the sky and a soft breeze sent the sweet smell of flowers to her nose. She sighed happily and shut her eyes. The warmth from the sun lulled her to sleep.

Jareth watched her. A dark beauty amid the sea of flowers. Jareth knew that what he was about to do would change his life forever. He prayed for strength and grasped for it blindly. He took a step closer. She was so beautiful. Her long dark hair rested on her shoulders. Her passionate eyes were hidden from his view. Her deep breathing was hypnotic.

He sat beside her on the stone bench and tried to figure out where he was going to touch her. Finally, he placed his hand on her right knee and called to her.

"Sarah… Sarah, wake up."

Her eyes fluttered like butterfly wings before her chocolate eyes found his.

She smiled up at him, "What a pleasant sight to wake-up to."

He half smiled and took both of her hands into his.

"Sarah… you know that I love you, right?" his voice was timid, he was being extremely careful.

Her smile dropped from her face as she assumed a more serious expression. She simply nodded a response.

"You also know I love Reishia," he stated.

A frown formed on her face. Her heart sunk to her stomach, her mind desperately trying to build a wall about her heart.

"I'm a very fortunate man, Sarah. I have loved two beautiful, intelligent, amazing women. And to know it was reciprocated filled my soul with the deepest passion." He paused, unsure how to word this. "The only tragedy is that I can't have them both. Sarah-"

Sarah stood quickly. "Stop! I don't want to hear it. I don't want you to tell me you chose Rei. My heart couldn't bare it. Just send me back." She turned and started away.

Jareth ran after her. When he caught up to her he grasped her by the arm and spun her to him. "Sarah, I-"

"No! Please! I can't bare it, okay, I can't. Stop, if you love me you'll stop."

"Sarah, listen to me!" Jareth was becoming desperate.

But so was Sarah. "Please send me home, Jareth, please!" her voice was strained with emotion. Tears spilled out of her eyes as she fought against his hold on her. But his grip was like iron. "I can't stay here and watch you love another. Please, have some-"

Her strained voice was cut off by Jareth's lips covering her own. He pulled her into his embrace, one arm about her waist, his free hand in her hair. She struggled against him, beating at his chest. But it was no use, the more she fought, the more passionate his kiss became. Eventually, she relaxed in his arms and started to kiss him back. Finally, he released her lips only to pull her to his body, his chin resting on her head.

"Why must you torment me? Now that I know I can't have you."

"I'll let you go if you answer one question."

She nodded and looked at his boots.

Jareth's slim fingers grasped her chin and tilted her head so that their eyes met.

And silently, he bid goodbye to the first love he had ever known.

"Sarah… will you marry me?"

Sarah froze, the question not registering. "W-what did you say?"

"Will you marry me, Sarah? Will you make me the happiest man on this earth?" Jareth asked, passion filling his voice.

She stared at him and fell deep into his mismatched eyes. "Oh Jareth… yes! Yes!"

Jareth laughed and picked her up, twirling her about. Her laughter mixed with his before the happy couple kissed again.

THE END!
