This is for Conner. You get your kiss now. This is a song-fic for David Bowie's song 'Never Let Me Down' on the Never Let Me Down c.d. The first time I heard this song I pictured Jareth and Sarah singing it to each other. Well… here we go…
Labyrinth
Sarah had just gotten back to her apartment after a big party for her friend's 21st birthday. She should have had a lot of fun. She was 20 now and next year, this would be her. She still had her long dark brown hair, but it now had red and caramel streaks going through it. She was wearing dark eyeliner and pink lip-gloss. All night, guys were dancing with her, because she was the prettiest girl there. The more guys she danced with, the more and more she wished Jareth were the one dancing with her instead of these guys.
One guy tried to make out with Sarah. It was obvious he was drunk, so she pushed him away.
To lift her spirits, she decided to turn on Never Let Me Down. She turned it on, but the c.d. wouldn't play. She started singing to herself, but with a twist.
When I believed in nothingI called his name
Suddenly, she felt another presence in the room. She turned around to see, Jareth, standing by her door.
Trapped in a high-dollar joint in some place
I called her name
Sarah just stared blankly at him, amazed he was even there, let alone singing to her.
And though my days were slipping by
And nights so cruel I thought I'd die
She danced her little dance till' it made me cry
She was shaking like this honey doing that
He motioned for Sarah to sing the next part, and she did.
When I needed soul revival
I called your name
Jareth then sang the next part, giving her his hand, motioning for her to dance with him.
When I was falling to piecesI screamed in pain
Your soothing hand that turned me round
A love so real swept over me
You danced your little dance till' it made me cry
You were shaking like this honey doing that.
Sarah stopped the song for a minute and said, "I can't believe you came."
Jareth, back into the song, sang the next part.
I'd never let you downSarah then sang the next part.
He never let me downThen it was Jareth's turn.
Never let me downShe never let me down
Sarah, still in shock that he was actually here, gently kissed his cheek. He whispered to her, "I have to go. A baby." Sarah was amazed that he was just going to leave her here. He then sang his next part.
When all your faith is failingCall my name
When you got nothing coming
Call my name
He then disappeared. Sarah was so upset and thought he would never come back so she did what any other girl would do, she cried. She walked over to go into the bathroom to wash off her face.
She went into her bathroom, washed her face, brushed her teeth, and opened the door. When she came out, there was a man sitting on her couch. She recognizes him as the jerk from the party so she was really scared. He turned around and started walking towards her. She took her broom and tried to hit him with it. He caught it and swung her around and into him. He then punched her hard in the face. Sarah screamed for the only one that could help her, "JARETH!"
Suddenly, there was a loud crash, and Sarah watched as the man went skydiving out the window. Jareth then picked her up and took her over to the couch. The mark the man had left was beginning to bruise, so he healed it. He then cradled her in his arms and looked at her. He could tell she wasn't happy aboveground, so he asked her, "Sarah, I am going to ask this once more. Will you come underground with me and become my queen so you can be treated like the queen you are?"
She smiled and simply said, "Yes." Just like that, they were gone.
Sarah was now on a very comfortable bed in the middle of a huge room. She was in Jareth's arms and he was laying next to her, so she thought this was probably his room. Jareth asked, "Will you be okay down here with me for eternity?"
Sarah then started to sing where they had left off.
I'll be strong through all it takesJareth took over, smiling and kissing her on the lips.
I'll cover your head till' the bad stuff breaks I'll dance my little dance until it makes you smile Shaking like this honey doing thatSarah was tired and said the words,
I'll never let you downBefore falling asleep, she heard Jareth say, "This will be our wedding song."
She nodded and then fell asleep.
The last thing Jareth said falling asleep with Sarah in his arms was
I'll never let you downHjgklkhjgkhljkhjjlhjhljkhljkhljkhljkhJarethAndSarahShouldBeTogetherhjhkjjhkjjhkjjhkj
