Chapter 3: Love will find a way
Rating: PG-13
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sarah and Jareth vanished into thin air leaving smoke and glitter in their wake. Hannah could do nothing but stare in awe at the spot the two were at. She shook her head and tried to get on with her studies.
*In the Underground*
Jareth and Sarah appeared in front of Jareth's castle, only it's not as she remembered it. It was FAR more beautiful, not dark and gothic as it was before. It seemed more bright, more lively, even a few unicorns passed by. She turned up to him.
"The castle looks different. Did something happen to make it more vibrant and beautiful? It's amazing..."
"Well, my dear, the castle has become more alive now that your back in it", he added, trying to give her a hint of emotion in his eyes. She almost caught it, but not quite. She smirked, "Trying to flatter me? Why, Jareth...", she said in a sarcastic tone.
Jareth couldn't help but grin as his name crossed her lips. It sounded so good coming from her. Not like he hasn't heard it before, but today it sounded unusually pleasant. As he grinned he could still taste her kiss still bittersweet on his lips. He looked up at the beautiful castle and sighed. If the battle was lost for the Goblin King the castle will never look like this again. He just shrugged it off and led her inside. She looked around at all the carvings and engravings in the walls, ceilings and floors. He looked at her, slightly amused at her curiosity. Jareth finally stopped her in front of a room with 2 doors. He opened one of them leading her into a LARGE room. It had a king-sized canopy bed and the sheets were a blood red, and the comforter was the same color only the top was velvet, and there was a square gold throw-blanket in the centre that was in a diamond shape. The canopy was clear white material with real rubies sewn into the fabric. There were matching red curtains, and all the drawers and wardobe handles were rubies. The color of the dressers and all were white. She looked around in shock. How did he know red was her favorite color? Must've just been just her imagination.
"I of all people know red suits you best", Jareth thought to himself.
She walked inside cauciously as if she was afraid she might break something. She looked at the rubies lining the canopy making note of it that they were real. Then she opened up the wardrobe and inside were many gowns, most of them red. She smiled to herself. Jareth noticed this.
"I suspect this room is of your liking?"
"Oh, yes, I think its just great. Thank you, Jareth"
Again the mention of his name made his skin tingle. He started out, "If you need anything my goblins will be at your beck and call, and I do expect to see you at dinner this evening", he said, then walked out the door. He conjoured up a crystal, inside it was a grinning Diamond, "Liked it, did she?", Diamond said.
"Oh yes, she loves it, thank you for your..", he gulped at this last word, "help".
''Oh, think nothing of it! I have a few plans for dinner later on, be prepared for unexpected happenings", she said, trying to prevent a fit of giggles exploding from inside her. Before Jareth could even take another breath, Diamond vanished from the glassy orb in Jareth's hands and he banished it. Jareth was suddenly worried now....
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Some time later while brushing her hair in front of the vanity, she heard a knock, thinking it was Jareth she said, "Come in!", only to find her dwarf friend, Hoggle.
"Hoggle!", she said somewhat surprised, giving her friend a hug, though Hoggle tried to escape her tight embrace.
"Sarah! Gee, I thought you went to...what was that place called again? Oh right, college"
''Well, it's kind of a long story...I supposed Jareth hasn't told you", she said.
"His Majesty sent me to see you, thought you might like to see me again"
"Jareth has been acting rather kind lately...dosn't seem like him", she added with a laugh, "So, what are you doing in the castle? Do you work for Jareth?"
"Yeah, I'm the castle gardener", he said proudly, "Them roses and daisies and such were planted by me"
"And you did such a wonderful job, Hoggle! They look fantastic, you are full of talent", she said, this made him blush.
"Well, just came by to check up on you, dinner is in an hour, that should be enough time to freshen up, yes?", he started out. He looked back, "Should you need me..."
She smiled, "I'll call", with this Hoggle stepped out the door. She looked into the wardrobe and found a partucular dress she found most familiar. With a little smile she took it and set it on the bed, with a pair of matching shoes. She walked over to a door, opened it, and inside was a bathroom. As expected, all the tiles on the walls were red marble, and all the taps were gold with a ruby in the middle. She turned a tap and warm water poured from it, filling the jacuzzi-like tub very quickly. She stepped in and sighed happily. The water was perfect. She squeezed a bottle of shampoo in her hair and rinsed it out. When she was finished washing, she found a red towel within her reach. She wrapped it firmly around her chest and found she was already dry. Astounded by this service, she walked gracfully out of the bathroom and looked at the dress. She called upon a servant goblin to help her in the dress. Within a few moments a female goblin entered the room and begun to get it on her.
"What's your name?", Sarah asked the goblin, who had finished putting the dress on and was fixing her hair.
"Esmarelda, m'lady", she said
Sarah admired her figure,"Thank you very much, Esmarelda", she said, "This looks terrific"
"I'll bet his Majesty would love it", she said, Sarah not noticing the hint of sarcasm in her voice.
"Maybe, I'm just hoping to eat and get out of there as quick as possible. I didn't even want to come here. This kind of thing always happens to me", she sighed,"But what must be done must be done I suppose"
Esmarelda just nodded and finished the last touches on her hair and her makeup. She looked at Esmarelda's forhead and saw a black four-pointed star on her head. Something told Sarah that wasn't good She just shook her head. Sarah got up and twirled the familiar white ballgown from her and Jareth's fondest meeting. She didn't put it on because of Jareth, it was just the ballgown of her dreams, it always made her feel special in a way. She looked up and down at it. She didn't think it would fit her, but for some reason it fit better than ever, like her shirt and vest. It seemed all her clothing fit her like a glove. She slipped into some white sequin heels and started out the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jareth was pacing in the dining room, anxious to see Sarah.
"Where is she?!", he said.
Suddenly Diamond poofed in the room, looking at him with an amused expression, "Impatient are we?", she said slyly, "Give her a break, after all, she is responsible for the Underground's future existance, must be hard on the girl", she said.
Jareth looked over at her,"What havock have you planned for us this evening?"
"You must wait and see.."
Diamond had her long hair in two braids draped over her shoulders and she wore a green dress with spagetti straps and slits on the lower waist all the way down and the whole thing was covered in glitter. Plain but stunning all the same.
Jareth looked at her impatiently. Why HAS Sarah taken so long? He continued to pace, and Diamond laughed. Jareth glared at her.
Then Sarah walked in. Her presence made Jareth almost gasp. The gown had struck him like a bolt of lightening. She looked just as beautiful as he remembered. She smiled. The sleeves were a little less poofy, and her hair was the same as before with the silvery leaves. He thought she was beautiful. But then no matter how she looked thats how he saw her. He bowed slightly.
"Sarah", he started in a tame voice as if nothing was bothering him, "This is Diamond, she's an elf, and she's my best friend", he said, and watched as the two beauties shook hands.
"Pleasure meeting you, Sarah", Diamond said, a twinkle in her emerald eyes. As if she was.....up to something.
"Why, pleasure's all mine..", Sarah said. Diamond said her good evenings and vanished, leaving Sarah and Jareth alone.
Jareth pulled out a chair for Sarah, and she sat in it. She tried her best not to look like she was enjoying it. The food was exquisite(sp?), and the company wasn't so bad, however she avoided his gaze at all costs and vowed to not get any closer to him than they once were. When the meals were finished, Jareth was most pleased that Diamond had not poofed in the room and did something irrational. "Maybe she's given up", he thought. But that didn't make him worry any less, he knew elves were the most un-predictable beings on the planet. Sarah quietly finished her meal and stood up, "Thank you very much, your Highness", she said. Then amazingly, both found themselves no longer in the dining room. Somehow, Jareth figured it was Diamond, the two were transported to the ballroom of her dreams. Sarah found herself far away from him, but she could see him. The ballroom was the same, only it was empty except for the two of them. Sarah tried to move her legs but found they couldnt move. Jereth couldn't either. They both just stared at eachother from a far distance. After what seemed an eternity, Sarah could finally walk. She turned on her heel about to leave, when she felt a strong force pushing her towards Jareth. They both found themselves walking to eachother by some force. Then they stood face to face. Unable to look anywhere except straight into the other's eyes, music filled the air and there was someone singing. And the voice was Diamond.
Diamond:
In a perfect world
One we'd never know
We would never need to face the world alone
They can have the world
We'll create our own
I may not be brave or strong or smart
But somewhere In my secret heart
I know
Love will find a way
Anywhere I go, I'm home
If you are there beside me
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way
Sarah let these words sink into her mind as she danced with Jareth. The song was so true, this was how she felt about Jareth. She never thought she could love a man who had stolen her brother, put her through 13 hours of torture, tried to kill her and made her go through his Labyrinth. It was crazy, but now, she didn't see an evil baby-stealer, or an evil villain, he was a man(or fae in her case). The song hit a break and Sarah took the time to look in his eyes. His eyes that now held emotion so strong nothing could rip them apart. This time though, the second verse was sung by Jareth.
Jareth:
I was so afraid
Now I realize
Love is never wrong
And so it never dies
There's a perfect world
Shining in your eyes
And to her surprise Diamond stopped singing compleatly and *Sarah* was singing the last part with Jareth. Even though she didn't know the words they felt so right to her. The song ended with the two singing to eachother.
Jareth/Sarah:
And if only they could feel it too
The happiness I feel with you
They'd know
Love will find a way
Anywhere we go, we're home
If we are there together
Like dark turning into day
Some how we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way
I know love will find a way
The music faded and the two stopped dancing. The pure love in Jareth's eyes had never been this visible to her. Now it was all clear. She knew this was meant to be. Diamond was gone but they hardly noticed, especially after Sarah had pulled her face to his and gave him a kiss of passion and love he so longingy deserved. They stopped for a few moments to suck in a few deep breaths, Sarah looked up to him,"Jareth, I'm so sor--", she was cut off when Jareth placed a finger to her lips,"No need to apologize, my love, all is forgiven", he said gently. "You can forgive me but I cannot forgive myself for hurting you so badly and leaving you to suffer for three years...." "Consider it forgotten", he said,"Now that your here with me nothing else matters at all. Nothing"
Sarah smiled and just gave him another kiss and arched a brow,"You've outdone yourself for a first date" "Imagine what could happen on a second date", he said, grinning.
"I can hardly wait", she said.
Meanwhile in her own chambers, Diamond was looking into a crystal and saw the two kissing.
She sighed happily,"What would Jareth do without me?"
She giggled and twirled the clear orb in her hands. She was amusing herself by twirling it in and out of her hands and wrists, when suddenly she heard a loud POOF. She looked outside the window and sighed.
"Moroviel's pace has quickened....and I feel her presence is near.......almost TOO near...."

Diamond:
In a perfect world
One we'd never know
We would never need to face the world alone
They can have the world
We'll create our own
I may not be brave or strong or smart
But somewhere In my secret heart
I know
Love will find a way
Anywhere I go, I'm home

Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through

Sarah let these words sink into her mind as she danced with Jareth. The song was so true, this was how she felt about Jareth.

His eyes that now held emotion so strong nothing could rip them apart. This time though, the second verse was sung by Jareth.
Jareth:
I was so afraid
Now I realize
Love is never wrong
And so it never dies
There's a perfect world
Shining in your eyes
And to her surprise Diamond stopped singing compleatly and *Sarah* was singing the last part with Jareth. Even though she didn't know the words they felt so right to her. The song ended with the two singing to eachother.
Jareth/Sarah:
And if only they could feel it too
The happiness I feel with you
They'd know
Love will find a way
Anywhere we go, we're home
If we are there together
Like dark turning into day
Some how we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way
I know love will find a way
The music faded and the two stopped dancing. The pure love in Jareth's eyes had never been this visible to her. Now it was all clear. She knew this was meant to be. Diamond was gone but they hardly noticed, especially after Sarah had pulled her face to his and gave him a kiss of passion and love he so longingy deserved.

Sarah smiled and just gave him another kiss and arched a brow,"You've outdone yourself for a first date" "Imagine what could happen on a second date", he said, grinning.
"I can hardly wait", she said.
Meanwhile in her own chambers, Diamond was looking into a crystal and saw the two kissing.
She sighed happily,"What would Jareth do without me?"
She giggled and twirled the clear orb in her hands. She was amusing herself by twirling it in and out of her hands and wrists, when suddenly she heard a loud POOF. She looked outside the window and sighed.
"Moroviel's pace has quickened....and I feel her presence is near.......almost TOO near...."
