AN: It was inevitable. I tried to stop myself but I just couldn't – and no one else helped as well so here it is. But once the Pandora Box had been opened…

Thanks to all who said my original idea didn't suck… look at this as your punishment.

Part 2:

"Sarah!" – She jumped at her seat

- Yes, Mrs. Barnes?

- How would you approach the given problem?

Sarah looked frantically at the blackboard, then at the teacher, then at the book of the girl that sat to her right – hers was definitely not on the right page anyway – and hopefully said "using the sinus theorem..?"

"Miss Williams, had you been paying attention instead of daydreaming, you would have known that in order to use the sinus theorem you would need to know the size of at least one angle. I suggest you to pay better attention from now on"

Sarah just nodded back. Her math teacher started to solve the question on the blackboard, but she just couldn't concentrate – who was the genius who decided that her class will take math as seventh and eighth lesson anyway - so she just copied it to her notebook.

However today was different in one thing – she couldn't focus on all the earlier lessons as well, having last night's events playing in her mind over and over again. Luckily this was her last class – she couldn't wait to be alone already so she could check what she wanted to find out. At last the bell rang and in an instant she was out the door, not caring how it looked like, she ran outside of the building and down the stairs to the gate. Finally slowing down, she finished the rest of the way home by walking.

She came into the house and rushed up-stairs to her room, finally in the privacy of her room, she uttered 'Goblin King, I need to see you'. An instant later a figure appeared before her.

With a smirk, he remarked – I'm glad to see that you have decided to give me a try after all.

Wearing dark purple colored satin button-down shirt that had the three topmost buttons open, showing the silver and golden pendant that hung on his neck, over dark blue breeches and knee-high black boots he looked as breathtakingly as always, she noted. Then nodding her head to the side she pushed those thoughts away. There were more pressing matters then drooling over him right now, not to mention the unneeded ego boost it would undoubtedly create.

Instead, she turned away from him and said in a low voice

- There is something I have to ask you. - She stopped to take a deep breath, mentally preparing herself.

Jareth, being the impatient person that he is, had to ask "Well..?" before she even had a chance to start speaking again.

As if finally deciding, she turned back towards him, and looking in his eyes, said:

- Is it true?

Jareth looked baffled for a second

- I am not a mind reader, what do you refer to?

Sarah looked up at him, swallowed and said

- What you said yesterday, that you are not my enemy… that I could change that.

- That was what I said, wasn't it? I do not lie, Sarah.

Notes of annoyance shone in his voice, but she was too deep in thoughts to notice.

- So.. can we be friends?

It was not all he had wanted, but she was too young to understand, perhaps in time… He smiled back.

- I would like that.
