A/N: Once again, huge apologies for very long delay. Thanks to my
reviewers. I appreciate each and every one of you. I made a decision that
it would be boring to include just laby songs, which is why I included
pressure. But I am keeping to a time period.
Disclaimer: No I own nothing. The song lyrics included were written by the very talented Jim Steinmen and originally sang by Bonnie Tyler.
Sarah had trouble sleeping that night, her mind filled with thoughts and confusion. She decided would do what she normally did to help her sleep.
She gently rose from the bed and slipped a robe on and started walking the halls towards the kitchen. However in her sleepy state and the darkness of the night she managed to take a wrong turn.
She was not sure where she was at; she just started opening random doors, hoping to see something familiar. She was on the verge of calling out for Jareth when she tried one last door.
She gasped and shook her head. She went further. At first she was in disbelief it couldn't be, after all she shattered it.
She walked toward the curved mirrors, and saw herself looking back. She touched the surface. She wasn't sure why or how. Then something in the mirror caught her eye, she spun around and walked toward a class case.
She gasped again, it had been 10 years since she had worn that dress, it seemed impossible everything was preserved from those few moments.
"You looked so beautiful in that dress," he said quietly touching her shoulder.
"I didn't hear you come in," she said in surprise.
"I didn't mean to startle you. I heard some noise and thought I would investigate it."
"I'm sorry, I couldn't sleep and decided to find the kitchen to make me some warm milk, however I managed to take a wrong turn." She paused still looking at the dress. "Jareth why the ballroom?"
He was quiet for a moment; it took him 3 yrs to recreate the ballroom. "I guess in those few moments I realized what I had been missing, I never wanted to forget that."
She only nodded.
"Would you care to dance?"
"I'm not dressed," she said a little hesitantly.
"That is not important," He said in an arrogant tone.
Jareth spun her around and they started to dance. Moving across the empty room, almost floating across the floor.
Jareth smiled into her eyes, and what surprised him is when she smiled back, the dancing became slower he dared to pull her a bit closer. He leaned in and placed his mouth gently on hers.
Sarah couldn't remember the last time she had ever felt like this from a simple kiss. It was as if it was the most perfect kiss. She felt his hands caress her body. She moaned and then came to her senses. She pulled gently away.
"I'm, I'm sorry Jareth," she said looking down.
And without another word she left the room and started down another hall.
Jareth sighed, and then smiled, it was only a small change but a change and that was what was important.
Sarah finally found the kitchen her heart was pounding in her head, why didn't she let him continue, she wanted him, this much was obvious. It seemed to Sarah things were too good to perfect.
'Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the
best of all the years have gone by. Turn around, every now and then I
get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes.'
She was scared of the past; she was scared of the future, of her own feelings of everything.
'Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know
I've got to get out and cry. Turn around, every now and then I get a
little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes.'
She had to think and maybe even sleep on it. She wandered back to her room amazingly finding it easily; she crawled into bed to sleep.
... She was walking along a path, it divided she could choose to go one direction or the either; she wasn't sure which path to choose. She just stood there for a moment, trying to judge which way would be the best.
A small crystal rolled down towards her she picked it up. Inside the bubble her and Jareth were dancing......
She woke again, if she though sleep would help her she was wrong.
'And I need you now tonight and I need you more than ever and if
you'll only hold me tight, we'll be holding on forever and we'll only
be making it right 'cause we'll never be wrong together. We can take
it to the end of the line. Your love is like a shadow on me all of the
time. I don't know what to do, I'm always in the dark. We're living in
a power keg and giving off sparks.'
She finally had made a decision, she would tell Jareth her feelings. Nothing else mattered.
'I really need you tonight. Forever's gonna start tonight. Forever's
gonna start tonight.'
She rose from her bed the second time that evening and made her way out of her room.
