"Oh my God, I can't believe he brought you down here!" Sarah said excitedly.

"I can't believe your getting married and to a king at that!" Maria said.

"Me either." Sarah said dreamy eyed. "So how is everyone at home?" Sarah asked. Maria looked down. "Maria, is everything okay?" Sarah asked nervously.

"Everyone misses you so much. Since they never found your body they couldn't charge anyone for murder, thank god. Toby is freaked out but doesn't know exactly what I going on. Your father seems upset but not upset enough. Father's should be more upset by this than he seems to be. Karen thinks that you just upped and left one night and didn't want to be found." Maria said with a serious expression on her face.

"Maria, I am so sorry for putting everyone through all of this! I feel horrible." Sarah said with tears in her eyes.

"No, Sarah! All I ever wanted was for your life to turn around and actually have some happiness in it. It has and I couldn't be happier. Never regret your decision of joining Jareth down here." Maria said sternly.

"Thank you Mia." Sarah said going back to her childhood nickname. She wiped her tears away. "Hey, come on let's go to my library. We can sleep in there tonight." Sarah said walking towards the door.

"What's the worst that I could say? Things are better if I stay! So long and goodnight! So long and goodnight!" Sarah and Maria sang together while doing the monkey walk, putting one leg in front of the other persons alternating left and right, all the way to Sarah's library.

"Good day, milady." Jaclyn said when she saw Sarah with another woman.

"Jackie! What have I told you about that?" Sarah said sternly.

"I'm sorry, Sarah, I thought that since you were in the presence of others," she trailed off.

"No! This is just Maria, my best friend from Aboveground." Sarah told her. "Oh! Intro! Maria, Jackie. Jackie, Maria." Sarah said just like that turtle in 'Finding Nemo.' (A.N. I LOVE that movie!)

"Jackie? Sweet!" Maria answered.

"Totally." Sarah said still in the turtle voice. Sarah and Maria laughed and Jackie looked a bit confused.

"Yeah, and if you call me 'milady' I'll hurt you!" Maria said laughing a bit.

"Yeah, okay He-man. Jackie can you bring some blankets and pillows to my library? Oh, and tell Jareth that we will be sleeping in there tonight?"

"Sure thing Sarah. I'll be right back with those blankets." Jackie said smiling and walking away.

"Good evening Sarah!" One of the doorknockers said making Maria jump at least 3 feet. Sarah and the doorknockers laughed.

"What the heck?" Maria said staring at the knockers on Sarah's library doors.

"Maria these are Walter and Dante." Sarah said. "Another intro."

"Which one is which?" Maria asked.

"Walter has the thing through his nose and Dante has it through his earlobes." Sarah explained.

"Oh." Maria said shortly.

"Hey, how about giving us a little knock?" Dante asked.

"Yeah please." Walter pleaded.

"Um, okay." Maria said as she hesitantly reached out and grabbed Dante's ring. She knocked very softly against the door.

"Oh, come on! You can do better than that!" Dante encouraged her.

This time she knocked loud and hard. This made them cheer with delight making Sarah laugh.

"Me next! Me next!" Walter called. Maria did the same thing with him and they cheered louder.

"AGAIN!" Dante cried.

"No guys, we will later okay?" Sarah said smiling.

"Aw, come on! One more time?" Walter pleaded.

"Fine. One more." Sarah took both of their rings and knocked loudly. They cheered again and opened the doors.

Maria and Sarah sat in the library for about 10 minutes before Jackie came back. Sarah gave her the rest of the day off and invited her to join them for a while.

Sarah and Maria were trying to explain what a television was when Jareth walked in.

"There's our star knocker!" Dante called when the doors opened.

"Jareth never knocks!" Walter complained and received an evil glare. He moved his eyes back and forth so that he didn't have to face the king's angry eyes and Dante laughed.

"Aw, come on Jareth! Give them a knock!" Maria said. He rolled his eyes and knocked. They cheered again and then immediately closed afraid of Jareth.

"So what are you doing here buddy?" Maria asked.

"Well Sarah and I haven't spent a night without each other since she arrived here and I would hate to put a black mark on our record." Jareth said winking at Sarah. Sarah laughed and blushed.

"Hey Sarah, do you remember demon child?" Maria asked.

"Oh my god yes!" Sarah said laughing.

"That was so funny! I thought she was awake!" Maria screamed.

"Oh I know!" Sarah agreed.

"What?" Jackie asked. It was the first word out of her mouth in 10 minutes, since Jareth had entered the room.

"She speaks!" Jareth commented. This made Jackie blush out of embarrassment. She had never spent more than about 30 seconds in Jareth's presence before now.

"Yeah. Jackie you can talk to Jareth just like you talk to me." Sarah told her.

"No need to be nervous Jaclyn." Jareth told her. He hated being seen as someone who you should fear, the villain.

"Okay, well Katie was sleeping and starts moving like she's swimming. We all started laughing. Suddenly, she stops and leaps up off the floor, her eyes still closed. She moves her head to look to the side and points. Then she jumps and does a belly flop on the floor. I thought she was awake, so I went over and pulled her eye open, she was asleep. We all thought she was possessed or something and all slept on the other side of Sarah's basement! It was so funny!" Maria told them and they all laughed, especially Sarah and Maria.

"Wow, how long have you guys been friends?" Jackie asked.

"17 years and counting." Maria answered.

"And your 18 now?" Jackie asked.

"Yup, we've been best friends our entire life." Sarah said with a smile on her face.

About 5 hours went by of story telling from all four of them. Jackie, after a while, started to feel comfortable being around royalty and began to talk more and more. She realized that after Jareth's embarrassing stories that he was more like them than she ever thought possible. She always thought royalty was, well, perfect.

It was now about 13:00 and they all decided to get some sleep. They were all going to go into the Goblin City tomorrow, and no doubt, with Maria being there, wreak havoc.

Authors Notes:

I have been so busy lately and had like a month long writers block and this past week was very sad for my family becuase it was my grandmother's 6 year death anniversary so I couldn' write. I thank you all for sticking around and waiting for this next chapter and I hope it was worth the wait.
