Chapter Nine:
They stood on the very hill Sarah had stood upon the first time she had ever seen the labyrinth.
Jareth was by her side. Justin and Heather stood in each other's arms. Heather was crying, and
Justin comforted her by rubbing her back. Jareth, himself, was trying desperately not to cry. Sarah
was sobbing uncontrollably.
"I'm going to miss you so much Sarah." Heather said to her friend.
"I know I'm going to miss you too, but I know you'll be happy here."
"Are you sure you won't stay? It's not to late to change your mind."
"I can't Heather. It's not that I don't want to, but I don't belong here. It's just not my world."
"I know, but I had to ask."
The two friends embraced for the last time. Hugging each other for a long time.
"Good bye Sarah. Take care of your self, you here."
"I will. I love you."
"I love you too."
"Good bye."
Justin and Heather both shifted into two raven crows and flew off towards the castle, leaving
only Jareth and Sarah on the hill.
"Jareth." She uttered barely audible.
"I will never forget you Sarah. If you don't belong here, then at least know you will always
belong in my heart."
"I will always love you Jareth. I always will." She sobbed and they held each other for a long
time, both unwilling to part. For a moment time stood still. When they finally broke apart Jareth
pushed a crystal ball in her hand.
"If you ever need me." He started to explain.
"I'll call." Sarah finished for him.
They didn't say good bye. They both couldn't bring themselves to say it. As tears fell down
Jareth's cheeks Sarah disappeared back to her own world.
Epilogue
Five Years Later
Sarah sat on the edge or her bed day dreaming. It had been several years since she said
fair well to her old friends. She had since moved out of her father's house and into a loft
on the Upper East Side. She was three weeks from graduating collage with a major in
English Lit, and a minor in drama. Just what she was going to do with these
accomplishments she still didn't know. Her thesis was nearly complete. Another week of
strict writing and it would be through. She had chosen a charming subject, and written the
history of fairy tales and their basis in fact. It was good she thought. She hoped.
She looked around her loft and smiled. She had taken up the hobby of painting when
she wasn't working on her thesis, and over the course of five years her paintings had
filled the loft. The Underground was a strong theme in her art works. Compositions of the
Underground sky, the castle from the hill, the broad stretching labyrinth, and the faces of
the friends she left behind, all well done. Sarah had become what she had always wanted
to be the dreamer. One of those arty chicks that paint, write, act, and perform in general.
Her friends pushed her to sell the works, and she did sometimes, but she could never
bring herself to sell and of the ones of her Jareth. The friends she had made in collage
were always asking who the mystery man in the portraits was. Sarah never truly
explained him; not that anyone would have ever believed her if she did. She sometimes
told them that he was her fairy king. Which, was the truth really, and sometimes she told
them that he was her first true love, which was also the truth. Those who knew her as
Sarah the dreamer always smiled at her, and the "make believe" world she surrounded
herself with. Sarah was happy in the dreams she knew to be real, and she used her
experiences in everyday life to further her career. She planed to try and publish her thesis
as a novel as soon as she finished it. She was also auditioning for roles in Off-Broadway
plays and was hopeful. For the time being she was a simple sales clerk at Macys, working
part time, but the employee discount kept her fashionably up to date. She found it easy to
pay her half of the rent on the rent on the loft, still buy food for the week, and keep the
bills paid. She did have a roommate who was just as much of an artist as she had become,
only Jessica's specialty was photography and plans for a small darkroom were always
discussed, but never built.
Sarah was happy with what her life had become. She saw for the first time that she
was going places that weren't just in her dreams. Maybe, that's because she had learned
that dreams were sometimes real, if believe in them hard enough. The labyrinth, Jareth,
Heather, and Justin would live with her always. She hoped they were as happy in their
world as she had become in her own. But wasn't her happiness, in all respects, due to the
two thrilling adventures she had played a part in Underground. Perhaps.perhaps not.
But she would never forget the fairy realm she conquered, and later helped to restore.
