Getting To Know The Twins

Sarah sat at the smile table, king on one side, teacher on the other. The twins chatted away happily. It had obviously been a while since they last saw each other. Sarah looked at her Biology Teacher, wondering exactly how she gotten into this mess. Letting her mind wonder, Sarah remembered the day she had learned exactly how close to the Underground she was.

"Sarah," the Biology teacher said once he and the girl were alone, "I'm worried about you. You've become…different, somehow. You used to be one of my best students, and now you're failing my class. Is something wrong? Family problems?"

"Not really family problems," Sarah responded in the confused way she'd become used to. "You won't believe me if I told you."

"You'll never know unless you try." Mr. Johnson said, sitting down in the desk next to Sarah.

"That's just it," Sarah said, again confused. "I did try. I tried and I beat him, and got Toby back, so why can't I think about anything about him?"

"Oh," Mr. Johnson replied, his voice a little more subdued. "I think I know what this is about."

"No," Sarah said. "How could you? You're a man of science, and what I'm talking about is…fantasy."

"Is it?" The older man said. "Is love really just a fantasy? I knew that, in time, you would see that Jareth is the one for you. There's no denying it. I once heard love described as 'that can't eat, can't sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence kind of feeling,' and, my dear, I'm afraid that describes you."

"I suppose your right. But what can I…" Sarah blinked and shook her head. "What did you say?"

"I said that you're in love," the Biology teacher responded.

"Not that," Sarah said, eyes growing wider. "You said Jareth."

Mr. Johnson sighed and responded, "Yes. A word that has become an unnecessary evil for you, isn't it?"

"How do you know Jareth?" Sarah asked, ignoring the weary expression Mr. Johnson wore.

"You'll know that soon enough," the Biology Teacher said, standing and walking over to the window. He closed the blinds and turned around to face Sarah. "Funny thing about love," he said, sitting down on the edge of his desk, "it will always bring two together."

Sarah looked down her hands which were folded on her desk. "I'm not sure I want it to," she said, blinking back tears.

"Jareth's not a bad guy," Mr. Johnson said coming over to Sarah's desk and crouching down next to her. "You'll see, just give him a chance."

"...and then he said to me, 'Mr. Johnson, you're quite an attractive man. Are you sure you're not interested?" Sarah blinked and stared at her Biology Teacher. What the hell was he talking about?

Jareth laughed softly, shaking his head. "John, my brother, you find the oddest people." Sarah turned, open-mouthed, to face Jareth. He caught her look and winked at her. "So what did you say?"

Mr. Johnson laughed, "Naturally, I told him I wasn't interested."

Sarah put a hand over her eyes and said, "I missed something."

Both the twins laughed. "It's alright, Sarah," Mr. Johnson said. "The man was looking for someone to model his newest line of clothes. They looked they had come off a clown."

"Oh," Sarah said, blushing and lowering her hand. "Sorry."

"Perhaps we should move to my study," Jareth said standing and offering Sarah his arm, "so we can discuss this messy heir business."
