Sarah was about half way down the ladder when it started to sway and the steps were getting weaker.

"Okay, don't panic." She said to herself. She went about 2 more steps before it collapsed and she fell 3 stories. Her wrist hurt like a mother. "It's probably broken." She said standing up. She looked over in the direction of Jareth's study; he was hard at work and didn't seem to notice her accident. She got up and quietly walked away.

She had been walking for about 3 hours and it was now dark. She knew that Jareth would be worried when he found her not in their room. She knew he would come after her and act ticked when he found her. She was so caught up in her thoughts; she didn't see the little man before tripping over him.

"Oh! I'm sorry!" She said getting up and helping the man to his feet.

"I'm okay. Sarah?"

"Hoggle?"

"It is you! What are you doing here?"

"I'm trying to get back to the castle. I.."

"You didn't wish another child away did you?" He asked in a rush.

"No! I just… I really need to get back to the castle."

"Would you like some help?" He asked sweetly.

"That won't be necessary Haggle." Jareth's voice startled Sarah and she spun around to see him. "I am here to take my fiancé back to my castle."

"Your fi-fi-fiance?" Hoggle stammered.

"Yes Hoggle, I am getting married to Jareth." She said feeling a bit guilty about it.

"What did he do to you?"

"Nothing! I used nothing but me to win her over!" Jareth said taking threatening steps toward Hoggle, scaring the crap out of him.

"Jareth! Stop!" Sarah said stepping in front of Hoggle.

"Come Sarah, were going home." He held out his hand to her and she took it.

"Bye Hoggle, I hope you will come to my wedding." Sarah said fading from view.

When she and Jareth arrived back in Jareth's study, he didn't release her hand. "Why were you out there? I was worried."

I knew he was going to do it! Act all mad and then reveal his true feelings later! "I was mad. I saw a garden and thought that it be nice to go think over there. I went out through the window and went down a ladder, fell, walked, and found Hoggle."

"You fell? Did you hurt anything?" He asked worried.

"My wrist, but that's all."

"Which one?" she lifted her other wrist and he looked at it. "It's broken. MARNA!" He yelled and a small elfin woman appeared. She was blonde and had green eyes.

"Yes your majesty?" She asked, lounging on the windowsill.

"Lady Sarah has a broken wrist."

"Say no more." She grabbed Sarah's wrist and massaged it. After about 30 seconds, the girl stopped and looked at Sarah. "Better?"

"Yeah. Thanks." She nodded and disappeared.

"Don't ever leave the castle without telling me. You have no idea what could have happened to you."

"You have no idea how much that hurt when you were all over Jillian!"

"Sarah, Jillian is none of your concern. There is nothing I see in her. She doesn't hold a candle to you."

"Still! It hurts seeing a girl all over your husband-to-be! How would you feel if some guy were all over me?" Jareth thought about this and realized she was right. He leaned in and kissed her hard. She didn't pull away, she responded by wrapping her arms around his head and kissed him back.

"So the wedding is still on?" He asked after they broke the kiss.

"Of course." He smiled and kissed her again. They were back to the way they usually were.
