All Sarah could see was darkness, "Jareth where are you?"

"Literally, I am right beside you," Jareth replied

"No I meant in my memory…where are you? I can't see anything."

"This is before you were born…I guess right when your brain started working. You see your brain starts creating memories even before you are born. Only your subconscious remembers this though."

"So this is…in my mother's womb?"

"Correct. I highly doubt it is here so I shall move on."

The next thing Sarah knew there was a bright blue room before her. The room was frozen however. Kind of like a 3D picture. She saw her mother lying on a bed holding a child with her father standing next to her. Jareth was looking around the room, for what, Sarah did not know.

"I guess that's me," Sarah thought.

"Yes," Jareth was now looking under the bed.

"What exactly are you looking for Jareth?" Sarah thought.

"I will know it when I see it. It is not here."

"But wait…why is it frozen? Why aren't my memories moving?"

"Memories are like Flipbooks. Your brain takes many pictures and stores them in sequence. It is easier for me just to look at one picture instead of the whole thing."

"Oh…but can you play the whole thing?"

Jareth looked as if he were deep in thought, and stepped out of Sarah's view. Sarah then heard her Father's voice.

"We have a daughter can you believe it? You were right Linda!" Sarah's father looked down at his new family with such pride in his eyes.

"Of coarse I was right! Don't you think I would know?" Linda held the baby close to her chest, "I mean I have been getting to know her for the past 9 months. Of coarse I would know such a minor thing like whether she was a boy or a girl."

Sarah's father laughed, "Alright you were right. I was wrong, so you get to pick her name. Do you have one already?"

"Of coarse I do. Since she is our little princess we shall call her such."

"Honey I have to object! No child of mine will be named Princess!"

Linda rolled her eyes, "Darling, I decided to name her Sarah which means princess in Hebrew."

"Oh," Her father said. They both laughed. Everything then froze.

Jareth stepped into view, "Sorry Sarah I can't waste any more time."

Sarah now saw before her an old woman holding the baby version of her.

"Who is that?" Jareth asked.

"My grandma, I was rather close to her until she died when I was 5."

"Oh sorry," Jareth said after looking around. "Well there isn't anything here."

"How come I can see everything that is going on? Wouldn't my memory just record what my mind originally saw?"

"Technically, yes. But with a little magic I can make you see the whole picture, thus helping my search."

"Oh. Don't you think it would help if I knew what you were searching for?"

He did not answer.

Jareth began to quickly jump from picture to picture. It was so fast Sarah never could really focus on it. She began to get bored. After a while Sarah's thoughts began to wonder.

"I wonder how Toby is doing. I hope he is okay. If that bitch Cassandra so much as pulls a hair from his head…!" Sarah could not even finish that thought, "Well at least Jareth is helping. He is not like I originally thought."

"And what did you originally think?" Jareth butted in.

"Shit I forgot you can hear me!"

"Yes that I can…I am curious…really what did you think of me?"

"I thought you were a real bastard!"

"And now that has changed?"

There was a long pause and then, "No you are still a bastard."

Jareth laughed but he quickly fell silent. "What is this?" Jareth asked.

"What is what?"

"I mean what are you doing here Sarah? Focus right now, please."

Sarah did. The room was dark except for the light of a single flame. A younger version of Sarah was staring into it. The little girl looked as if she had just finished crying.

"This must have been right after my grandma died," Sarah said.

"How do you know that?"

"Well I look around five, and that's when she died."

"Are you praying?"

"In a sense. I once over heard my mother say to my grandma, 'I think you might end up in hell for that last comment.' I was afraid for her after she died because of it. For months after she died I took to looking up at the sky during the day, to sneaking candles up to my room and staring at the flames all night. I just wanted to catch one more glimpse of my grandma."

"I understand looking to the heavens for her…but studying a flame?"

"Crazy I know. When I was little I thought fire was awindow to hell. I thought that if I looked long enough I might be able to tell if she ended up there."

"Oh I see. And did it work?"

"No, I gave up when my dad brought home a dog for me…Merlin."

"I see!" Jareth said when he jumped to the next picture. It was of Sarah and her new puppy, "Nothing's here."

They jumped to another picture. Sarah was now seven and playing with her doll house. Jareth was rummaging through her toy chest.

"Jareth, when my memory of the delivery room played out, how come I could not hear my thoughts?"

"Because you did not know words then, or sounds either. If this memory were to play out you would probably get an ear full."

"Could you play just two seconds of it?" Sarah asked.

"Fine," Jareth said as he stepped out of the way.

Little Sarah started playing with her dolls. She thought to herself, "Okay time for me to tuck the daddy and the daughter in bed," and she proceeded to do so. She then lifted up the mother and thought, "She can't stay anymore. She is getting bored. She has to go away," Little Sarah thought. She then said out loud, "You don't want to stay here anymore! You have to leave. You shall stay in the toy chest forever and be all alone!" The memory then froze.

Jareth could tell it was making Sarah sad. "Are you alright Sarah?"

"That was just after my mother left…those first couple months were horrible."

"We will just skip over them then," Jareth could tell how much that last memory hurt Sarah. He did not want her to relive such a painful time.

"But what if it is here?" Sarah asked.

"We will go through all of your other memories and if it is not there we shall know to come back here." Jareth said as hejumped ahead.

A/N: Sorry to leave it there but I am tired. This has to be one of my longest updates in a while. I hope to have more up soon. Thanks for all your reviews. Oh and IaMjo...it was a bar fight;)
