A/N: Sorry I posted an old rough draft of this chapter before accidentaly. If you read it you have a little insight but not much thank god! But as I promised before here is the actual continuation of Finally Day
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sarah and Jareth walked the whole way back to the castle in silence. Sarah didn't know what to think so she really couldn't say anything. Jareth didn't seem too bothered by the silence. The whole time Sarah was trying to figure out if she had Jareth labeled wrong.
"Well seeing as how I don't have anything to do right now," Jareth said as they entered the castle, "Is there any way I could convince you to have lunch with me?"
"I would love to join you. Really how could I turn a meal down after all that hard sitting I did?" Sarah said sarcastically.
Jareth laughed as he led her to the dinning hall. Sarah looked at Jareth's face, "How can it be that a man who steals babies can be so kind to those he rules over," She thought, "It makes it so hard for me to pass judgment on him. Why can't he just be an all around evil person?"
"Is there something on my face?" Jareth asked.
"Oh no there isn't."
"Then why were you looking at me that way?"
"Do you like what you do Jareth?" Sarah asked, "I mean being Goblin King and all, is there anything you hate about it?"
"I hate the hours," Jareth said, "It is a 24-7 job. I never get a day off really. Take today for example, even though I technically don't have to do anything I would let down all of the goblins if I didn't go to a festival."
"So that's the only thing you hate?"
"Yeah that's about it. Well I do hate getting asked stupid questions but still it doesn't bother me to the point where I would want to quit," answered Jareth. They just reached the doors to the dinning room. Jareth pushed them open and all the familiar scenes lay in front of Sarah.
"Why don't you pick where we eat since I picked this morning," Jareth said.
"Well what do you think of that beautiful garden?" Sarah asked. A few seconds later they were there. The sun was out and the air was perfumed with flowers.
"So dear Sarah what would you like to eat?" Jareth asked.
"You know I have been craving a cheeseburger and Coke since I got my appetite back," Said Sarah.
"That does sound good," Jareth said. As he sat in a chair 2 burgers and 2 cokes appeared on the table a long with a huge mountain of fries. Sarah sat across from Jareth. Each bight she took of her burger was ecstasy. I know it sounds odd but the burger was so delicious Sarah was very sad when she finished it, and very full.
"Do you really think I am going to eat that many fries?" Sarah asked.
"No I don't, because those are my fries." Jareth stated.
"Why don't I get any fries?" Sarah asked after she took a sip of her coke.
Jareth picked up a fry dipped it a ketchup and said, "Because you didn't ask for any." He then put the fry in his mouth.
"Oh yeah?"
"Oh yes," Jareth said.
"Well what do you think of this?" Sarah quickly picked up a fry dumped in a load of ketchup and threw it at him. A strange smile broke across Jareth's face. Plates of pudding, macaroni, mashed potatoes, and many other things began to form around them. Before Sarah knew it there was a pie in her face.
"THAT'S NOT FAR!" Sarah said in a half laughing tone of voice, as she began to wipe her face of.
"Really Sarah, I thought you learned that lesson a long time ago." Just after Jareth said that he had a face full of meat loaf, "Alright Sarah! You asked for it!" A huge food fight then broke out between them.
They were running around the garden showing no mercy. As Sarah flung pasta at Jareth from her hiding place behind a bush he threw macaroni salad. Tomatoes, dressing, cole slaw, pickles, and so much more littered the garden.
When they finally stopped it wasn't because they were tired, they just ran out of food to throw. The place where they were sitting was such a mess. Both of them were covered head to toe in food.
"I have macaroni in my hair," Sarah complained.
"Well I have pickle juice in mine!"
"Oh yeah I forgot about that," they both laughed.
Jareth then looked at Sarah a certain way, as if he were trying to see through her. It made her uncomfortable. "Uh well I better go get cleaned up," Sarah said. She looked around for a source of water. "Do you know the way out?"
"There is a pond around here somewhere. If you give me a moment I can lead you to it." Jareth said. Sarah thought he seemed so different, she couldn't put her finger on it. At the moment she felt very awkward around him.
"Um, no thank you. I am positive I can find it if you just point me in the right direction." Sarah said to his feet because she did not want to see that look in his eyes.
"It is just down that way I think. That path should lead right to it."
"Thank you," Sarah said as she quickly turned around.
"Sarah before you go would you mind having dinner with me? I mean the servants are all gone and I hate eating alone."
Sarah turned around and lifted her head, "Jareth I will eat with you if you promise the next dress I put on won't end up like this one. I would hate to see such another pretty dress get turned into rags. "
"Alright then Sarah," Jareth said with a smile, "See you at around 8:30 then."
