It was now Sunday, the day of the ball. Sarah was now getting put into her dress, or at least Flora was trying to get her into her corset.
"Ah, that's really tight!" Sarah complained. She had never worn one of these things before! She now fully understood Elizabeth Swan's line in Pirates of the Caribbean. "You like pain? Try wearing a corset." She mumbled under her breath.
"You'll get used to it. The first hour is the worst." Flora informed her.
"It is so hard to breathe in this thing!" Sarah complained putting her hand to her chest.
"It will get better." Flora kept reminding her. "Now, time for the dress."
Flora had done a wonderful job on the dress. It was a square neckline that showed just a little bit of cleavage. It was white and had beads all over it to form large diamond shapes all over the dress. It had netting over top of from waist down but it just made it look more beautiful. The final touch was a pair of white gloves that came up to her elbows.
"Okay missy, now it's time for your hair and makeup while I go and help your friend. Goodbye and the next time I see you, I want you to tell me every comment you received about the dress." She winked and Sarah laughed as she left the room.
Sarah looked at herself in the mirror and loved how the dress looked on her; the corset was the only thing bothering her. About a minute later, a small brunette woman walked into the room. She had green eyes that looked like they were made of glass.
"Hello, I am Gulemilian, but you can just call me G. Now, what to do with your hair." She looked at Sarah for about 3 minutes. "I got it."
She turned Sarah away from the mirror and started doing God knows what to her hair as far as Sarah knew. After about 40 minutes, G finally stopped. She turned Sarah around and Sarah gasped.
Her hair was half up in a braided bun and half down in luscious curls. "There's one more thing we have to add to make this beautiful." G said walking over to a box she had brought in. "The King has said to have you wear this. He said it is the tiara for the queen-to-be. He also told me inform you that when you do become queen, you will get a different crown to wear to balls." Sarah nodded and G put the tiara in her hair.
Sarah was surprised at how something so simple as adding a tiara would make the entire look work. "Wow! Thank you! It looks beautiful." G nodded.
"Well, makeup will be coming in now. I'll talk to you before the next ball." She said disappearing through the door.
Almost immediately, a woman with blonde hair and gray eyes entered the room. Her eyes were beautiful in a frightening way. (A.N: Amber… anyone you know have eyes like that?)
"I am Celia. Now what I am thinking is white eye shadow with a little shimmer in it to match your dress. A small amount of eyeliner would probably look good. Some clear lip gloss so that your lips don't get dry is a good idea." Sarah just nodded. The woman did her makeup without speaking. After about 15 minutes, she was done and gone.
"That was weird." Sarah said to herself. Suddenly, a note appeared in her lap. Sarah knew the handwriting that had written her name on envelope well enough. She opened it and read it.
Sarah,
When you are finished getting ready, please come meet me in the throne room. I have something to tell you and something to give you.
I love you.
Jareth xoxo
Sarah smiled and started for the throne room. When she got there, Jareth was pacing back and forth in front of his throne. Sarah walked up to him. He was wearing the same thing he was wearing in the dream she had.
"What's wrong?" she asked. The concern in her voice was unmistakable.
"Sarah, sit down," he told her. This made her very nervous. "Before I ever met you, I had been engaged. The woman I was engaged to it completely rude and will stop at nothing to bug you and convince you not to be my queen. She will lie to you, try to make it look like I don't care for you, get other people to annoy you out of becoming my queen. Do not fall for her tricks. I swear to you that you are the only one that will ever be in my heart from this point on." Jareth said still pacing.
"I know Jareth. I don't annoy easily. It's something you get out of being a babysitter for 3 years and dealing with Melony day in and day out. Don't worry, I know you love me and you know I love you." She smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
"Good, now I have something to give you." He pulled something out of the pocket of his coat and put it in her hand. When she opened her hand, she found it was a key.
"What is it to?" she asked.
"This, my love, is the key to a library I am having built in the room between ours. It will contain any books that you may enjoy and more." He said with a smile.
"Oh Jareth! Thank you!" She screamed throwing her arms around his neck. He hugged her tightly, which made her feet leave the floor.
"I guess you like it then." He said with a smile.
"No, I love it almost as much as I love you." She smiled.
"You're comparing me to a library? Sarah I'm hurt." He said trying to act saddened.
"Oh, just shut up and kiss me!" she said pulling his head down so she could kiss him.
