Disclaimer: I own nothing from Labyrinth, but Lilah and Marcus are mine
AN: I'm replying to reviews on another site now, the link is in my journal. I've replied to most of the reviews for the last chapter so far, and will continue to do so as I get them. Thank you to all my reviewers as well.
Chapter 26: Preparations
Three day later Sarah sat in front of the mirror at her dressing table putting the finishing touches on her make-up. "Sarah are you nearly done?"
"Just about." She touched up her lipstick and smiled. "Done."
"Good, Lilah and Marcus will be here soon."
Sarah stood up and smoothed out her gown. She wore a dark purple dress, not too formal but not casual either. It was dark purple with a low neckline. The dress had long, bell sleeves, made of lace rather than the heavier fabric of the rest of the gown. The bodice was well fitted, but not overly tight and the skirt of the dress dropped down loosely to the floor and was covered with a layer of lace the same as that of the sleeves.
"Do I look alright?" She asked Jareth, looking at him a little worriedly.
"You look stunning love," he said, as he stood by her side and kissed her.
She blushed a little, kissing him back. "As do you," she said, admiring how he looked in the black breeches, boots and jacket, with a dark blue poet shirt underneath.
"Now, Toby's in his room, he'll be put to bed soon. And dinner will be served probably about half an hour after my sister and Marcus arrive. And they will be here any time."
There was then a knock on the door of the room.
"Yes?" Jareth called through the door.
The door was opened and short goblin poked his head in. "Ah, your majesty?"
"Are they here?"
"Yes sir, the Lady Lilah and Lord Marcus are here."
"Alright, that will be all."
The goblin left the room and closed the door.
"Well then Sarah, shall we go?" Jareth asked, reaching for her hand.
She grasped his hand tightly within hers and nodded. "Ready as ever."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. They'll be in one of the sitting rooms. Lil never likes waiting for me to show up and do everything formally. Come on then Sarah, it's time to go."
The couple walked out of the room, Sarah nervously playing with the ring adorning her left hand.
AN: Sorry it's so short, I'm sick and I haven't had much time lately, so I thought short was better then nothing. Please leave me a pressie, just hit review...
