Sarah awoke to a knocking at her door "God, if that's him, I swear I'll kill him." For Jareth's sake, it was Celeste.

"Good morning dearie" Celeste said and put Sarah's breakfast tray down "I trust you slept well."

"Yea, wonderful" Sarah said too cheerfully. Celeste didn't seem to notice.

"Here's your dress for today dearie. I'll leave and let you get dressed." Celeste walked out and let Sarah change.

"Ugh.not another dress" Sarah looked disgustedly at the dress. Suddenly an idea came to her head. She went to her closet and picked out denim shorts, and a pink tank top. "There, much better."

Sarah opened her bedroom door and looked around "Good, Celeste isn't around" She shut the door and made her way through the hallways.

Sarah stopped in front of the Dining Room door and opened it slightly. She could see Jareth's back to her talking to a few other men. A meeting dealing with the Underground she supposed.

Sarah continued down the hall until she reached a small wooden door. When she opened it, she found herself looking at the most beautiful garden she had ever seen. There were roses of all shapes and colors. There were peonies and lilacs. There were lilies and daffodils.

She couldn't begin to name all of them. Sarah wondered in and out of the fragrant flowers until she found a small bench in the middle of the garden.

"This place is so beautiful" she said sitting down. Sarah reached into a bag that she had brought with her and pulled out a red velvet book

"Labyrinth" she whispered softly. She opened the book and began to read.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Jareth called to Celeste. "Will you go summon Sarah for me?"

"Yes Your Majesty"

She left only to come back a few minutes later.
"She isn't in her room or the library sire."

"Alright, thank you"

She left and Jareth tried to locate Sarah using his power. He sensed that she wasn't very far. He followed his senses.

Jareth found her in his private garden asleep on one of the benches. She had been reading and the book had fallen onto the ground.

He picked up the book and looked at the title curiously. He tucked the book into his cloak.

"Sarah.Sarah, come on, wake up." Jareth gently shook her shoulders.

"What?" She asked groggily as she woke up "Oh it's you" She said shortly

"Sarah, I'd like to explain myself." Jareth said looking down at her.

"I don't think there's much to explain. I obviously repulse you. Why else would you do something like that?" She had her eyes focused on her hands.

"Sarah, that isn't true at all. But could you honestly say that we wouldn't regret it if we had continued last night?"

Sarah sat quietly "How do you know I would have regretted it?" And with that, she got up and ran towards the castle door.

Jareth started after, and then decided against it. She needed time to calm down.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sarah ran to the library. He probably expected her to run towards her room. She ran to the back of the large room and collapsed on the big couch that was in there.

"Why would he try to explain!? He should just send me home! He obviously thinks I'm horrendous."

"Sarah, how could anyone think of you as horrendous?

She turned around surprised.

"Lord Damien.how did you get here?"

"I transported myself to see how you were. And I find you in here almost sobbing" He said and came to sit beside her. "Now, what happened to make you so upset?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Just something happened."

"Did my brother do something to you?"

"I guess you could say that." It's what he didn't do she added to herself

"Well, I have an idea." Damien said cheerfully, "Why don't I take you out to the city. It's most busy around this time of day and quite interesting. What do you say?"

Sarah thought for a moment. If she went, Jareth probably wouldn't be happy with her. But on the other hand, she didn't really give a rats ass what he thought. "Ok Lord Damien, I would love to go with you."

"Good, go put on uhhhh..something more acquainted with the Underground and we'll be going"

Sarah came from her room wearing a long white peasant style dress. She made her way back down towards the library, avoiding Jareth of course.

"My dear, you look lovely" Lord Damien said as Sarah walked through the doors.

"Well thank-you" she smiled

"Shall we go?" he offered her his arm

"How are we going to get there? The palace guards know not to let me out without Jareth as an escort" Sarah said taking his arm

"Sarah, you underestimate me so." As soon as she had put her arm on his, he began to transport them out of the castle.

Sarah had closed her eyes for the transportation when she opened them again, they were in a busy street full of goblins, fairies, and any other kind of creature you would see in Goblin City.

"Wow, it's really crowded here" Sarah stated

"That's what's so great about it my dear. Everyone knows each other and we all get along" Said Lord Damien

"Lord Damien."

"Please, just call me Damien. The whole Lord thing never suited me anyway. ยป

Sarah smiled "ok, Damien"

He put his arm out for Sarah; she took it and made their way down the busy street

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Jareth decided to find Sarah and apologize. He went to room, but she wasn't there. He then decided to check the library, but she wasn't there either.

"Where is she?" he muttered to himself. Jareth checked out in the garden. When he didn't find her there, he started to get worried. He decided to try to sense her using his magic.

Jareth closed his eyes and concentrated. He sensed her out of the castle. But she wasn't hurt. And if she wasn't hurt, then why was she out of the castle?

Jareth decided to find out for himself. He transported himself to the place where Sarah's presence was.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Lord Damien and Sarah walked up and down the many streets of Goblin City. They talked of the Aboveground, Damien's childhood, Sarah's childhood, and any other thing that would make a conversation.

"So then I got Jareth to eat the slug." Damien laughed "He was pissed at me for weeks."

Sarah was almost rolling on the ground. "That is so funny. I didn't realize that Jareth ever had any fun."

"I don't think he's had any for a long time." Damien said

Sarah looked up at him "Why are you and Jareth so different?"

"No one knows Sarah; we just have a different view on life I guess."

"Apparently"

"For instance, I would never, ever, let you think of yourself as horrendous." He softly kissed her hand.

Sarah smiled and blushed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Jareth appeared in the middle of Goblin City. Why would Sarah be here? He wondered. Jareth walked a few feet until he noticed Sarah. He intended to march right up to her and take her right back to the castle, whether she fought him or not. He started to walk towards her, and then stopped. Who was she with? Damien?

Jareth stood back and watched them. They appeared to be having a polite conversation. He then saw his brother take Sarah's hand and kiss it. She blushed furiously.

They continued t walk with Sarah's arm in his.

Jareth stood dumbfounded. All the anger that had been welled up inside him, dissipated. He had just watched his brother and Sarah get along better than he and Sarah ever had.

Jareth slowly transported himself back to his throne room. Why did he feel this way? Did h really care if his brother courted Sarah? He knew he shouldn't, but when he saw Damien and Sarah together, he felt like he would explode. Could that mean he was in love with the mortal Sarah?
