So Jareth skipped over the next few memories. Little did Jareth know that the next memory they came across was one of Sarah's worst. Sarah saw a younger version of herself, around 11, eating dinner. Sitting across from her was her father, and Sarah's now step-mother.

"Holy God! This is my first meeting with Karen. Do we have to go through this one?" Sarah asked.

"We don't have to listen in on it, but I can't go skipping over all the memories you don't like." Jareth said while he studies the chicken they were eating. "It's not here."

The next couple memories were of Karen trying to be friends with Sarah. Of coarse Sarah wouldn't play along. "At that time I was still hoping my mother would come back. I truly did hate Karen. Because of her my father got rid of everything that was my mother's. Sure, before then we packed away the clothing and such that she didn't take with her, but there were still some pictures and little reminders of her around the house. I think my dad kept them up for my sake. To make it look as if I had a mother figure. So when Karen stepped in I guess he thought they weren't needed anymore and got rid of most of her things. I saved a couple for myself but over the years I lost most of it. Back then though I still thought my mom was coming back. I didn't want anything to do with Karen."

"I can tell," Jareth said, "Look at all the hell you put her through. "Accidentally" hitting her with your racket while she tried to teach you tennis; Dishes 'slipping' from your hands and into the dish water anytime she was close enough to splash; 'Feeling ill' when she wanted to go out with your father; having a box labeled fragile 'slip' from your hands when she was moving in. She must really love your father if she put up with you."

"Yes she does. My two years of torturing her proves it."

Jareth jumped to the next memory and laughed, "Now look! You yelled fire on their wedding day?"

Sarah laughed, "Yeah! I completely forgot about that. I was a bridesmaid and it was my turn to walk down the aisle. But instead of walking down it one time I threw down my bouquet, ran up and down the aisle 5 times while screaming 'fire' at the top of my lungs. A whole bunch of people ran out of the chapel. Let's just say my dad was not too happy."

"I should think so," Jareth was still laughing. No one could ever say Sarah didn't have spunk. He then jumped to the next memory.

It was all Karen getting situated and such until, "Stop!" Sarah yelled.

"What?"

"I know what's going on in this memory," Karen was handing Sarah a book. Nothing strange or out of the ordinary was happening.

"I do too," Jareth said, "Your stepmother is handing you a book."

"No, no, no! The book is about being a good big sister. This is right after I found out she was pregnant."

"By the look on your face I could tell you weren't too happy."

"I was an only child for fifteen years out of my life and in one year this women came in and doubled my family. Let's just say happy is not anywhere near how I felt."

Jareth jumped ahead "Wow! You didn't even want to hold Toby when your father offered him to you right after he was born."

"I truly did hate him the first year of his life."

"I wonder, what made you change your mind about him?" Jareth asked sarcastically, as he skipped through Sarah's memories very quickly. "Could it be this?"

Before Sarah nowlaid the memory of her first encounter with Jareth.

A/N: Short... I know... Sorry. I might be able to update again though before the night is out. Cross your fingers.
Spook-A-Lot: Yeah I did know the meaning of Cassandra's name. I normally try to do that with my original characters if I can get away with it.Adele means something along the lines of "of noble rank" because her family was quite old and did have some power in the underground...I really do have a whole background on her and can go on forever. Jenna means "little bird" seeing as how she kind of flew into Sarah's life. There are others as well.You were the first to ever pick up on that, and I commend you.
bobmcbobbob1: I am happy you have only stubbled and not fallen.
Lady of the Labyrinth: I promise "if" Cassandra dies you will have first dibs on her if there is anything left of her.
WickedGame: hope you are still alive...
To everyone else: Thank you for your reviews they truly do entertain me sometimes. I am also glad to hear that my story is entertaining you.
