A/N: First I would like to thank my reviewers. And in answer to a post
question, I either tend to get too detailed or not detailed enough. So
thanks for the heads up. I'll explain her reasons for being with Toby.

Sarah's mind wandered throughout the night. Just 24 hours ago she was at her desk doing the same job she had done for the last 2 years and not being happy with it. How any one can be happy just being a secretary she didn't know. She told herself it was just until she got her break, but that break wasn't happening.
Her dad called her at work, he had to go away on business and asked if she would mind coming over to watch Toby. Since Karin died in the car accident her father did not seem to stay home much.
Sarah didn't like to be back in the house, it reminded her too much of her fantasies. Of the one man who she could never seem to find an equal too and yet here she was back in the Labyrinth. She sighed she could tell it was going to be a long night.
The following morning both her and Toby ate breakfast quietly.
"I'm sorry about yesterday Sarah." He looked very upset.
"It will be ok Toby, I would recommend not arguing with Jareth though, and he may not take it too well." She offered a smile.
"I believe I heard my name" Jareth entered the room; he was dressed fairly plainly, just tan britches and a white poet shirt, and long black riding boots. "I hope you both slept well. I have taken the liberties of finding you both more suitable rooms, also before we go out you will both be measured so you can have a few clothes." He shifted and then sat at the head of the table.
"This is the last section of the Labyrinth that needs repaired, and yet it has been the hardest." He sighed. He played with his food, and occasionally would look up to watch Sarah, she wouldn't look up, and she quietly ate her food.
He excused himself for a few minutes, someone else came in took her and Toby's measurements. Then he left.
"Are we ready then?" He asked.
Sarah simply nodded. Toby also nodded but also murmured yes. "Very well, I have a carriage outside, it will be best not to use magic until we get there"
The carriage strolled along, Sarah started out the window seeing a few things that looked familiar.
Jareth could not keep his eyes off her, in such a short time, she changed and yet she hadn't.
'Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets'
Now that she was here again, he had to convince her to stay.
'It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out!
Pray tomorrow takes me higher higher higher'
Sarah could feel his eyes on her but she kept her gaze outside as if she did not notice. She was not sure of what to think of him, he was acting very different, or maybe it was her that had changed she was not sure.
'Keep coming up with love
But it's so slashed and torn
Why why why?
Love love love love'
It seemed crazy and surreal at the same time. Only Toby seemed the only one chatting about what he was seeing.
'Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love give love give love?
Give love give love give love give love give love?
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure pressure'
He breathed deeply as the carriage stopped; this was his chance to show her, who he really was. It was his only chance.
