Why is it I always find myself listening to the perfect song when typing?

Disclaimer: I own nothing! Absolutely nothing! Nada! Nine! _crawls into

corner and cries_. not the song, which is "Learn To Fly" by Foo Fighters,

not the Labyrinth, not David Bowie and a potato...WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

----------------------------------

A week after that incident, three weeks from the wedding, Sarah sat alone

in her room weeping. She had a confrontation with her sweetheart after the

whole Jareth incident.

'Jareth.' Before now, his name might have sounded sweet to her. But now

it sounded bitter, and it triggered rage within her. She began to twiddle

with her engagement ring. He wanted to know why she paused in helping him,

why she looked to Jareth first.

He said she apparently didn't love him the way she said she did, so maybe

they should put off the wedding until she chose between them. Between

Jareth, who both filled her heart with cold fury and made her drool, and

her beloved fiancé who she promised to "love no other man" and love

forever. But could she keep the promise? She couldn't keep anything at

the moment.

'Damnit Jareth! Why must you mess everything up for me? Why now?' Why

now indeed. Could it be? No, he couldn't love her. He stole her little

brother! He tortured her for thirteen hours! He made her weak in the

knees at the sound of his voice.. 'No! You hate him, Sarah! He stole

Toby!' Did he? He only took him when she wished him away. Would he have

done so otherwise? 'No, he's too sweet." Sweet?! Where did that come

from? 'He's a jerk!' Is he really? You never got to really know him

beyond the Goblin King. Could the king be just a façade to hide his real,

vulnerable self? 'You saw the raw pain in his eyes. Could his mask have

slipped?'

Sarah began to violently twirl the ring around her finger. She looked down

at it, admired it slightly, but her face changed quickly to anger. She

suddenly tore the ring off and threw it at the wall with a TING! Leaving a

tiny scratch in the paint.

"I cannot STAND it!" Sarah buried her face in her hands and began to cry.

-------------------------------------

Jareth paced anxiously around the throne room, casually touching his cut

lip and swollen jaw. Why did she have to be so stubborn? She knew she

didn't love that man. She knew who she truly loved.

'Does she? Does she really know?' She's had the dreams. She

cannot stop thinking of him when he's around. She flushed when he last

appeared. But does she really know? 'Maybe she only did those things

because she actually didn't like me? Could I disgust her? Doesn't she

realize I love her? That I couldn't get her out of my mind after she left?

Can she not know that she tormented my dreams for those many years? I

cannot let her marry that man!'

-------------------------------------

"Yes, I understand.. I promise.. I love you too.. A week? Okay," Sarah

smiled into the phone.

They would be getting married one week later than planned. Sarah made up

her mind. Why choose a man she never knew who might love her over a man

she did know loves her and she loves back? Or at least, she thinks she

loves him. She had so much planning to do, and so little caffeine to do

so. She had already chosen a cake; she had to get a hair appointment, mail

invitations, and so on. But first, a nap. Hopefully Jareth wouldn't

decide to disturb her dreams again.

She made up her mind. She had to forget Jareth.

-------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, a special cake was delivered to Sarah's house. It was marked

"Special Delivery." Karen found it and placed it in a special spot.

Only two weeks until Sarah's wedding.

Run and tell all of the angels

This could take all night

Think I need a devil to help me get things right

Hook me up a new revolution

Cause this one is a lie

We sat around laughing and watched the last one die

I'm looking to the sky to save me

Looking for a sign of life

Looking for something to help me burn out bright

I'm looking for a complication

Looking cause I'm tired of lying

Make my way back home when I learn to fly

I think I'm done nursing the patience

I can wait one night

I'd give it all away if you give me one last try

We'll live happily ever trapped if you just save my life

Run and tell the angels that everything is alright

I'm looking to the sky to save me

Looking for a sign of life

Looking for something to help me burn out bright

I'm looking for a complication

Looking cause I'm tired of trying

Make my way back home when I learn to fly

Make my way back home when I learn to

Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone

Try and make this life my own

Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone

Try and make this life my own

I'm looking to the sky to save me

Looking for a sign of life

Looking for something to help me burn out bright

I'm looking for a complication

Looking cause I'm tired of trying

Make my way back home when I learn to

I'm looking to the sky to save me

Looking for a sign of life

Looking for something to help me burn out bright

I'm looking for a complication

Looking cause I'm tired of trying

Make my way back home when I learn to fly

Make my way back home when I learn to fly

Make my way back home when I learn to, learn to, learn to.
