"Sarah Williams!!! Pay attention! Name for me the first three known play writes."
Startled, Sarah looked up at her professor. A week had passed since Sarah had first remembered
her adventure through the Labyrinth, and during that time she had the hardest time paying
attention to anything, to Karen's delight. Her mind just keep on wandering back to various things
that had happened. When someone told a joke that made her laugh hard she was reminded of
when she was in the forest where she almost died because she was laughing too hard to breath.
Or when someone mentioned crystals she thought of the orbs Jareth always had.
"Well, I'm waiting?"
"Um, I don't know Professor Trammel." Sarah replied sheepishly.
"Didn't you read?" The teacher asked with a sigh.
"No ma'am, I didn't have time." Sarah said, reflecting back on the welcome back party all
her friends from Underground had thrown her. Her professor was about to reply when the bell
rang, dismissing everyone. Sarah was about to exit the door when she heard her teacher ask for
her to stay behind. Walking to the front of the room, she waited for the lecture.
"Sarah, you're one of my brightest students, but you must pay more attention. What
happened? You have been so space-y lately. You know if you ever need to you can talk to me,
right?"
"Yes 'm."
"Okay then. I want you to apply yourself a bit more. Promise me you'll do that?"
"I promise."
"Okay then, go on. I'll see you on Wednesday."
Nodding in agreement, Sarah walked out of her class room with a sigh. She had a few
hours until her next class started, so she decided to go back to her place.
She knew something was wrong when her front door wasn't locked. Stepping into her
front room carefully, she was startled to see Jareth lounging on her couch, as easy as you please.
"Hello Sarah. I just thought I'd stop by." He said, getting up and walking to where she
stood, a stunned look on her face. Taking her hand, he kissed it, shocking Sarah even more.
"I-you-what-how-" Sarah sputtered when she found her voice. Jareth chuckled at her,
which only infuriated her more. She finally spat out "I don't want to talk to you right now!!!"
"What do you want my dear Sarah? I don't think even you know that." Jareth said
seriously, mis-matched eyes looking into Sarah's own green ones. "Whatever you want it's not
the bad king that you did when you were 15, nor the kind innocent college boy I was a few days
ago.
"Sarah, I can't give you something if you don't even know what it is! I can't work that
way. I don't read minds." Jareth said, taking off his amulet and placing it in her hands before
quietly whispering "When you have figured it out, let me know. Until then, wear this always."
Looking at the amulet, Sarah was confused. Her emotions were going off the deep end.
Finally looking up, she was surprised at the look on Jareth's face. It was a mixture between the
ultimate suffering and the greatest love of all. Nodding, she placed the necklace around her neck.
Content, Jareth summoned a crystal, and was about to leave, when Sarah stopped him.
"I know what I want Jareth."
Jareth looked at her, joy plain in his eyes. "You just called me by my name."
"Yes, I did. And I know what I want. I want someone whom I can trust. I want an
equal, Jareth. I want someone who I can talk to and not have to worry about being thought
stupid. I want someone to whom I can give my heart and not have to worry about it getting
broken. Can you do that Jareth? Because if you can't, you don't have a chance." She replied,
looking down at her hands.
"I can do all those things and more Sarah, if you'll just let me." Jareth said, desire to prove
himself plain in his voice.
"Prove it Jareth. I can't just trust you, I'm sorry."
"Very well than. Give me my amulet." Jareth said sighing. When Sarah had handed the
necklace to him he took it in his left hand, and said "I Jareth, King of the Goblin Realm do here by
give this, the source of all my power and ruling ability, to Sarah Williams. May she keep it well."

want, you can read my other fanfic, Careless Whispers, which I will be working on full time once
I'm done here. So, ya'. Until next week.
