Disclaimer: ...............Why do you even read these anymore?

Sarah sighed as she trotted to the bathroom. It was dark outside now and she

decided since the basic fun junk was over she would get in her P Js. Surprisingly,

she found that her night clothes were already laid out. "Well ain't that convenient,

though I had no say in it." She mumbled. She took off her dirty and slightly torn shirt

and slipped the nightshirt on, just to be safe she kept her jeans on until the shirt was

on and completely buttoned up. After that she easily slipped her worn out jeans of

and put on the short shorts. "I'm guessing he's the one that chose my outfit." She

said sarcastically, looking at her self in the mirror in distaste. "No, if I had chose

your clothing you would be wearing black bandages." Jareth's voice purred behind

her in the doorway. "Just like the girl in The Fifth Element." Sarah thought to herself,

but shook it off and turned around preparing to counter with a death threat. "And if I

had chosen your clothing you'd be wearing tape over your mouth along with various

other things that could shut you up." She snapped, grinning at the scowl on his face.

He walked over to her and looked her up and down, lust obvious in his eyes, but he

tried to ward it off. "Sarah, do you always have to be grumpy. I'm really not that bad

of a guy. Don't be one to hold grudges." Jareth stated, looking at her with tired eyes,

exhausted by her constant animosity towards him. Sarah growled and stormed off.

"Fuck!" Jareth mouthed, following her as she left the room. "And just where do you

think you're going?" Jareth asked menacingly, walking right behind Sarah. " Away

from you and your arrogant thoughtlessness." Sarah spat, growing angrier by the

minute. "Why won't you be civil about this? I've been nice, I sent your brother home

unharmed, I let you stay at my castle and wonder where ever you please. I'm

exhausted from living up to your expectations of me. Have I not been generous?"

Jareth asked warily. Sarah's eyes widened as she fell to the floor, remembering last

year and her first visit to the Labyrinth.

Flashback

"Give me the child." Sarah demanded softly. "Sarah beware. I have been generous

up until now but I can be cruel." Jareth warned. "Generous? What have you done

that's generous?" Sarah's younger self asked naively. "Everything!" Jareth spat. "

Everything that you wanted I have done." He said menacingly. "You ask that the

child be taken, I took him. You cowered before me, I was frightening." He said,

circling Sarah. "I have reordered time." He gestured to a big golden clock on the

wall. "I have turned the world upside down, and I have done it all for you. I'm

exhausted form living up to your expectations of me. Isn't that generous?" He asked,

his eyes were tired and weary, starting to show true age. "Through dangers untold

and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the

Goblin City. For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is-" Sarah was cut

off. "Stop! Wait. Look Sarah. Look what I'm offering you, your dreams." Jareth

began. "And my kingdom as great," Sarah continued. "I ask for so little. Just let me

rule you, and you can have everything that you want." Jareth said, becoming weaker,

knowing he was losing. "My kingdom is great, my kingdom is great...damn. I can

never remember that line." Sarah cursed herself, she knew time was running out. "

Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be you slave." Jareth pleaded, his heart

slowly being broken. Sarah looked up in realization. "You have no power over me."

She said. Jareth had a look of sorry and ache as he threw the crystal up in the air as

the clock began to chime. "You have no power over me!" Her voice echoed

throughout the dissolving place. Jareth transformed himself into an owl, flying off into

the night as Sarah ran off to Toby's room to check up on him. Jareth knew he should

have told her she lost, he should've laughed at her for forgetting the most important

line. She had left out the most important line, "To take back the child that you have

stolen." That was what the quest was about, to get her brother back, but Jareth's

heart was too broken to worry about it.

End of Flashback
Sarah had fainted. "Oh my god!" Jareth whispered as he dropped to the

ground and supported her head. "Sarah, wake up." He demanded. Sarah's eyes

shot open and she looked at Jareth with watery eyes. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know..."

Sarah trailed off and began to cry. "Didn't know what?" Jareth asked, heart broken

at the sight of Sarah crying. "I broke your heart, all the words that I said meant

something more than a silly book. You loved me, but I was too ignorant to even

notice. I'm sorry." Sarah sobbed. Jareth stared at her shaking form sadly. "Yes, I

was in love with you." Jareth said, thinking back. Sarah didn't hear what he said. She

had fallen asleep. Jareth gently picked her up and cradled her peaceful form, taking

her back to her room where he laid her on the bed. He slowly crawled under the

covers with her and kissed her forehead, draping his arm around her waist and

pulling her close. He finally drifted asleep too, hoping to wake up earlier than Sarah

because he wouldn't want to stick around to see what would happen if she woke up

to find him in the same bed with her.

Author's Notes: Pretty dramatic chapter. But ain't that sweet? Boy, I sure hope she doesn't wake up before him either. That wouldn't be a pretty sight.
