Sarah was sitting in the middle of a desert a few moments before dawn. No one was around.

"Why did I choose this spot?" Sarah said, "There is most likely no way out for miles!"

"Actually 2/3 of a mile," Jareth said. Sarah turned around quickly,"I apologize for being late. I had matters to attend to."

"How is she?" Sarah asked.

Jareth looked off into the distance and said coolly, "She is fine. She will be sleeping for a while though."

"Jareth I am sorry I…"

Jareth then looked Sarah in the eyes and asked, "Sorry for what Sarah?"

"Sorry for whatever I did to make you mad at me. Just be honest with me. Do you hate your job? When I asked you about it before at the Finally Day Festival, you sounded as if you enjoyed it."

"I enjoy every aspect of it, except this. As much as I hate it though, it still needs to be done. You have no need to feel sorry Sarah. I can be a real arrogant bastard. Oh well. What do you want for breakfast?"

"Wait, wait, wait! I apologized! You should too!"

"What should I apologize for?"

"For being a quote 'arrogant bastard' and for treating me like a child! All I wanted to do was hold her and…"

"Run away with her. I could tell that's what you were going to do. I couldn't have you taking her away. Maybe I was a little harsh but I am not going to apologize for actions that needed to be taken."

"Just forget it!" Sarah didn't care at this moment about that. She just wanted to know about Jenna, " Can I see her?"

"Maybe later. She is sleeping. I don't want you waking the child up and then leaving her for Amelia to deal with. It seems you are the only one who can calm the poor child. I tried singing to her last night but it didn't work so I sent her away with Amelia. When I saw that you managed to keep her calm this morning I was half tempted to wake you and have you hold her the whole time I changed her over. I couldn't put you through that though. I know you love the child. I wouldn't want you to see her morph into a goblin. Besides I know you haven't been sleeping well, as of late, and you looked so peaceful."

"Did she go through any pain?" Sarah asked. You could hear the sadness in her voice.

Jareth politely put his hand on Sarah's shoulder. "No, she will just feel strange for a while, that's all." He then sat down. Their breakfast began to form around them. The rising sun changed the sky from dark blue to bright orange. The two ate in silence.

Sarah looked into Jareth's eyes as he was eating. She could see the pain Adele was talking about. Before they were finished she asked, "Will you be alright Jareth?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't put up any kind of front with meJareth. I know you are hurting. You look so terribly depressed. Really is there anything I can do?"

Jareth gave an annoyed sigh, "What has Adele been talking to you about? Don't worry Sarah I will be fine. Just go about business as usual."

"Alright," she said as she got up and dusted herself off. The problem was Sarah didn't know what business as usual in the underground meant for her. She really hadn't had a set schedule. Her ideas, feelings, everything had been jumbled since she arrived. "Jareth, could you point me to the way out?"

Jareth was silent for a moment and then stood up and said, "You know what Sarah? It would truly be better if you just left with me this time. It would be a very far walk and it's going to get hot soon."

"Okay," Sarahsaid. Shewalked over to Jareth and wrapped her arms around him as tight as she could. A few seconds later they were gone.
