Chapter 20: Going Home
Jareth had already caused the memories of Sarah's father and Aunt and Uncle to change so that they believed Sarah was living with Jareth, her boyfriend, and that Amelia ha spent the weekend with them. So the task of taking Amelia home to her parents was a lot simpler.
The pair appeared in front of Amelia's home, Jareth dressed as mortal in black jeans and a grey shirt, with his hair neatly tied back. Amelia also had the bag she had taken to Sarah's to begin with. Jareth, holding Amelia's hand walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. A few moments later they heard the sound of someone coming to the door.
The door opened to reveal a woman, Amelia's mother, Jareth guessed.
"Hey sweetie," she said smiling at them. "I missed you Mel. And you must be Jareth, nice to meet you."
Jareth nodded replying, "It is a pleasure to meet you too, and you have a wonderful daughter."
"Thank you. Sarah told me that you wouldn't mind having Mel stay with you two when I have to go out of town for work. I hope you don't mind, I never liked leaving her with Karen, she's not really the motherly type you know."
"I know," he said nodding once more, and thinking of how she had wished Amelia away as well as her own child.
"I don't like having to leave her but sometimes I really have to. At least I know she's cared for when her father and myself can't be there."
"Well she is most welcome anytime at all. She was no trouble, and I think she liked it, didn't you Amelia?"
For the first time since they had come back Amelia spoke. "Yes Jareth, I liked it lots. When can I stay again?"
Celeste laughed at her enthusiasm. "Guess she really did like it. Well I'd better let you get back to Sarah, I'm sure we'll meet again soon."
"Yes I'm sure we will. Good bye Amelia. And remember if you ever need Sarah or myself, just call." He looked at her moment, hoping she understood what he meant and she nodded in understanding. "Very well then, I'd better go."
Celeste picked up Amelia's bag and went to take it inside when Amelia ran over to Jareth and hugged him. He smiled and picked her up, hugging her for a moment before setting her down again.
"Good bye Amelia."
"Bye Jareth and tell Sarah I said bye again too."
"Alright I will." He then turned and walked down to the street, waiting until he heard their door close to disappear back to his home and to Sarah.
