Sarah awoke and blinked her eyes at the bright sunlight streaming in her room. Allie stood by the window laughing devilishly, watching Sarah adjust to the light.

"Ugh!" Sarah groaned. "You know I could have slept another few hours."

"You could, but then where would the fun be in that?" Allie teased.

Sarah sat up and wiped her eyes. She'd had to listen to Allie lecture her about her little prank for what seemed like hours last night. At least at dinner, Allie had food in her mouth so she had to shut up for at least a little while. Today, she had a tour of the Kingdom and then game night with the guys. Fagan had arranged it and, although she tried to tell him where he could stick his game, it did sound somewhat fun.

"I think I'm going to shower and then go down and get some breakfast before Liam gets here," Sarah announced. "Try not to let anyone in here today." She pulled off her nightgown and walked into the bathroom. Sarah turned on the little shower radio she had talked Fagan into producing for her. She always did like a little music when she showered.

Allie sat in the room in her pajamas, slippers, and robe. She listened as Sarah turned on the shower. She giggled as Sarah started to sing along with the music. Sarah was always a shower singer. Allie started looking through the book Sarah had brought from the library about the Royal Family. She'd been reading it a lot and laughing at the silly pictures of her intended and his brother.

A knock came at the door and Allie went to answer it. Jareth stood on the other side of the door. Allie suppressed a giggle as she thought about the perfect way to get back at both of them for the little stunt they pulled off yesterday.

"Can I help you?" she asked.

"Is Sarah awake?" he asked.

"Yes, she's in the shower," she replied. "Would you like to come in and wait for her? I'm sure she wouldn't mind."

He gave her a very suspicious look, but went past her as she indicated. She followed him into the room and sat on her bed, pretending to read the book but actually stealing little glances at Jareth.

Jareth sat on Sarah's bed, wondering what in Hades was going on. Suddenly, he heard music coming from the bathroom. Allie couldn't help but giggle at the familiar strain of music coming from the shower radio. Jareth looked at her sharply, but turned back towards the bathroom as Sarah began to sing.

I've been really tryin', baby
Tryin' to hold back this feeling for so long
And if you feel like I feel, baby
Then, c'mon, oh, c'mon
Let's get it on
Ah, baby, let's get it on
Let's love, baby
Let's get it on, sugar
Let's get it on

Jareth's breath was coming fast and hard. This song was delightful and so seductive. Sarah's beautiful voice carried well into the main room. He could imagine her standing under the water as it flowed all over her body, caressing her in places he could only dream about. Allie watched the display and barely stifled her laughter at his expression.

We're all sensitive people
With so much to give
Understand me, sugar
Since we've to be here
Let's live
I love you
There's nothing wrong with me
Loving you, baby no no
And giving yourself to me can never be wrong
If the love is true

Allie got up from the bed and walked over to the bathroom. She opened the door and called in to Sarah. "Hey Sar, I'm going to get us some breakfast. I'll be back in a minute." Allie was hungry, she just simply "forgot" to tell Sarah that Jareth was in their room waiting for her. In her haste, she also "forgot" to close the bathroom door.

"Ok Allie, See ya," Sarah called back.

Don't you know how sweet and wonderful life can be
I'm asking you baby to get it on with me
I ain't gonna worry
I ain't gonna push, won't push you baby
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby
Stop beatin' 'round the bush
Let's get it on
Let's get it on

Jareth could see the outline of Sarah standing in the shower as she washed her hair. He closed his eyes and willed his heartrate to slow down. It wasn't working. He tried to look away and found that he was mesmerized by her form in silhouette through the steamy shower door. She sang through the rest of the song, while rinsing the soap out of her hair and off of her skin. When he heard the shower turn off, he quickly jumped to the other side of the bed to avoid getting caught staring.

Sarah emerged from the shower and grabbed her towel. She quickly towel dried her hair and set out to dry the rest of her body. Shivering, she noticed the door was open and letting the warm air out of the bathroom. Sarah sighed, believing it was just more punishment for the prank she played. Oh well, she needed to get dressed any way. No sense lingering in the bathroom. Not bothering to wrap the towel around herself, she walked into the bedroom to get ready for the day. She kept the towel to finish drying her hair.

Jareth couldn't believe his luck when he saw her coming out of the bathroom. She looked delectable. He wanted nothing better than to ravish her right then and there. His hands flew to his lap to cover the embarrassing display of his arousal. The movement caught Sarah's eye and then all hell broke loose.

Sarah let out a high pitched scream and quickly tried to cover herself as fast as she could. Jareth, startled by her outburst, fell off of the bed and onto the floor. Allie and Fagan ran into the room. Upon seeing the situation, they burst into peals of laughter. This earned them glares from both Sarah and Jareth.

"This is not funny!" Sarah yelled. "What the hell is he doing in here?"

"Oh," Allie managed. "I g-guess I f-forgot to tell you that he came to see you while you were in the shower and I told him to wait."

"YOU FORGOT!" Sarah shouted.

"It serves you right for your little prank yesterday," Allie admonished. Fagan was still laughing too hard at the sight of his oldest brother redfaced and picking himself off of the floor.

"You and you," Sarah ordered, pointing at the two men, "out!"

They quickly ran out of the room, leaving her to begin her tirade on Allie. They could hear her yelling in the hall as they rushed to get away.


When Liam came to pick up Sarah an hour later, she had managed to calm down a little and see the humor in the situation. Although she didn't think she could face Jareth again, she did have to admit it was pretty funny when he had fallen off the bed and how red his face was when he was running out the door. Sarah could never stay mad at Allie for long. She'd yelled at her for a while, but then forgiven her as they began to laugh about the whole thing.

Sarah had changed into a lilac colored muslin gown. Liam thought she looked very fetching and thought he'd gotten very lucky to be able to court such a beautiful woman. The couple started in the Fairy City. There were several people on the street and she couldn't help but notice how everything stopped whenever she was around.

"Why is everyone staring at me?" she whispered.

"Because you are the beautiful Labyrinth Champion," he replied.

Sarah rolled her eyes. She was never going to get used to being in the spotlight over something she did at fifteen. It was a little unnerving to have so many eyes on her. Not only had she earned a reputation for being strong and brave, but the little spectacle at court a few days ago didn't hurt any. She sighed as a little girl came up to her with a piece of parchment.

"Will you sign this for me?" the little girl asked quietly.

Sarah smiled at the small girl and took the pen. "What's your name?" she asked.

"Guinevere," replied the little girl.

Sarah wrote: 'To Guinevere…May you grow up to be a strong woman and conquer your very own Labyrinth…Love, Sarah (The Labyrinth Champion).'

The little girl read what she wrote and giggled. Her mother came over and grabbed the little girl's hands.

"Thank you so much Lady Sarah," she said hastily. "I'm sorry she bothered you."

"It was no bother," Sarah replied. "Bye Guinevere."

The little girl waved goodbye and went away with her mother, beaming. Liam watched the whole exchange and was in awe of his Lady. He walked her into a little alleyway. Sarah looked at him in confusion. Suddenly, Liam's lips were on hers. She smiled against him and returned his gentle kiss. Just as suddenly as it began, it was over. The couple was wrenched apart and Sarah tried hard to keep her balance.

Looking down, Sarah saw five familiar friends running through the alley. She giggled when she noticed Liam's very unhappy expression.

"Guys!" she exclaimed. All five goblins stopped and turned to her. Unfortunately, not everyone stopped at once and they ended up falling over each other.

"Do you know these creatures?" Liam asked.

"Of course I do," Sarah replied. "Liam, I'd like you to meet Squeek, FatHead, BigToe, BogDip, and Squeel. Guys, this is Liam."

"We know"

"Kingy's cousin"

"Why you here?"

"Why not with Kingy?"

"Make Kingy happy."

"Guys," Sarah said. "Does Jareth know you're here?"

"Nope"

"We want see Lady"

"We like Lady"

"I like you too," Sarah replied. "Hey, you want to come with us on a tour of the City?" She saw Liam sigh and give her a very frustrated glare. Stifling a giggle, she turned back towards the goblins.

"Yay!"

"Me hungry"

"Lady fun"

"Me hungry"

"Kingy fun"

"Me hungry"

"We know!"

Sarah laughed at the familiar exchange and waved for them to follow her. She linked her arm with Liam's and the little group headed out. Sarah really enjoyed Liam's company. He was kind and gentle, making sure she was comfortable at every step. It didn't escape her notice that every kiss he gave her was met with a growl from one of the goblins. They, apparently, were not happy with the current situation.

The couple spent most of the day in the City and surrounding areas. He showed her a great waterfall and she decided that the little spot would be fun for swimming. When she asked him about it, he grinned and said that he had spent a good portion of his early years swimming there. Sarah made a mental note to schedule a swimming party for sometime in the not too distant future. She loved being outside and swimming was great exercise. Not to mention, it'd be a great way to get some clothes off of a certain suitor. Sarah blushed at her thoughts and turned her attention back on her date.

Finally, it was getting time to return to the castle for dinner and game night. The two made their way back to the castle, with the five goblins still in tow. She could hear them arguing about something so she turned and asked them about it.

"We like Lady"

"Lady like Kingy"

"Kingy like Lady"

"We need Queenie"

"You be Queenie?"

Sarah nearly choked at the question. If she had looked up, she could have seen steam coming from Liam's ears. Jareth got under his skin like no one else.

"Um…guys," she said, choosing her words carefully. "I don't know if I'll be your Queen, but I'd like to keep being your friend."

"Me friend"

"Me friend too"

"Me friend three"

"Me friend…uh four"

"Me friend six"

Sarah laughed at her five friends and entered the castle.


Jareth and Fagan had been arguing for over an hour. Allie was ready to put earplugs in her ear and be done with it.

"I'm warning you little brother," Jareth said. "Stop this incessant teasing right now. Your Lady embarrassed my girl."

"Wait one damn minute," Allie shouted. "All I did was let you in. You didn't have to look at her naked. That was your choice. It served both of you right for the worry you caused yesterday."

"I ought to…" Jareth started.

"What brother?" Fagan asked, getting angry and coming to the defense of his intended. "You'll bog her? Throw her in an oubliette? If you dared, I would consider it an act of war. I don't talk like that to your Sarah so don't talk to my Allison like that!"

Jareth was about to say something that might have caused an incident, when Sarah and Liam strolled in the room. All eyes were on their little entourage.

"My, my, my," Sarah teased. "What is going on in here?"

"Nothing of your concern," Jareth replied.

"After this morning, I would think you'd have the decency to at least tell me why you're arguing," Sarah said harshly.

Jareth had the good sense to look ashamed for a brief moment, before his customary smirk was back on his face. She couldn't resist any longer and began to laugh.

"Oh, everyone needs to lighten up," she said. "It's not like I've got anything you haven't seen already."

Allie and Fagan looked at her in surprise before bursting into laughter. Jareth looked to Sarah and then to the couple before joining them in laughter. Liam looked at the four of them in confusion. Obviously, he had missed something. The laughter finally tapered off and the brothers shook hands, everything forgiven. Jareth apologized to Allie before turning to his subjects.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, full Goblin King persona back and in charge.

"We tour City with Lady"

"She nice"

"We like Lady"

"Lady friend"

"Lady like Kingy"

"Silence!" he commanded. All five of them became quiet and trembled before their King.

"Please Jareth," Sarah said. "They don't bother me. In fact, I kind of like them around. They keep me on my toes."

"Since the Lady does not object to your presence, I'm going to give you permission to visit her," he said after a moment. "However, if you bother her in any way, I will dip you all in the bog. Any questions?" None of the goblins said anything. "Good."

"Come on everyone," Fagan said finally. "Let's eat."

The group followed the Fairy Couple to the dining room. Sarah was on Jareth's arm. She giggled, noticing that the goblins were doing a very good job at distancing Liam from her to give Jareth the advantage. Liam did not look happy in any way. Knowing she needed to diffuse this situation, she gave the goblins a famous Sarah Williams glare. They were so shocked that they allowed Liam to catch up to Sarah and Jareth. He came up to her left side and she linked her arm in his. Jareth gave Liam a glare, but didn't say anything.

That's how Sarah entered the Dining Room, flanked by two men. Her other suitors were in the dining room waiting for her. Sarah would be glad when she could finally make her decision and actually enjoy a double date with Allie and Fagan. Having three extra men in the room did nothing to lower tension. In fact, Sarah could swear she could smell the testosterone in the air. She sighed and lined up her four suitors. With an eyeroll, she walked along the line and gave each a kiss on the cheek and a word. None of the suitors failed to notice that she lingered for a moment at Jareth's cheek and whispered something that had him grinning.

Before dinner, she had decided that the only fair way to make seating arrangements was to have everyone draw out of hat. Fagan and Allison would sit together near the head of the table, but each of Sarah's suitors would have to draw for their seats. She told them the rules and informed them that anyone who used magic to change the names would forfeit the right to court her. Fagan helped her to her customary seat at the middle of the table. He then held out a hat with each of the rivals' names in it. Sarah pointed to the seat at her right and Fagan drew the first name.

"Pryderi," he called. The brown-haired Fae beamed and took his seat. She gave him a polite smile and then pointed to her left. Fagan drew another name and grinned.

"Jareth," he called. The Goblin King mirrored Fagan's grin and took his seat, making sure to brush his hand against her thigh as he sat down. She gave a little jump and then gave him a smirk. She pointed to the seat directly across from her. Fagan drew a third name.

"Liam," he called. Liam slid into his seat next to Allison and glared at Jareth. The two men were beginning to have a staring contest until he felt something brush his foot. Sarah had nudged him from across the table and he smiled at her. She pointed to the seat next to Liam and Gough took his seat with a sigh.

Dinner was delicious and more than a little interesting. Between Jareth's "accidental" brushes against her thigh, Liam's constant caresses with his foot, and Pryderi's handholding, Sarah wondered how she got through it all. Of course, she hadn't been a complete innocent in all of it. She couldn't forget how she made Jareth spill his water with her casual placement of her hand on his thigh. Of course, it had been his upper thigh. Oh, who was she kidding. She practically groped the man at the table, but his reaction had been well worth it. When Pryderi offered her some of his dessert, she couldn't help but let her tongue linger on her lips after taking the bite off of his fork. That little stunt had all of the men's eyes lingering on her mouth. Flirting was a skill that Sarah had never really honed before, but found very empowering.

Fagan and Allison watched the little display before them with amusement. Fagan realized that Sarah had these four men wrapped around her little finger. Allie knew that her friend was enjoying every minute of watching them squirm. This was more fun than the soaps she used to watch at home on the days she didn't have class.

Fagan escorted the group into the game room after dinner. Sarah couldn't fail to notice that the five goblins were waiting in the hall for her. At the sight of her, they began to sing a new song they had created for their friend. Sarah stopped and listened with a smile. At the end of it, she clapped and praised them for their creativity. Who knew you could rhyme Sarah with fair-ah? Jareth watched his subjects as they pleased Sarah. He couldn't help but feel some pride and wonder at how well she got along with all of his subjects. Unlike some other women, Sarah didn't look at goblins with disgust. She actually seemed to like them.

Sarah sat down and began to learn the rules to a game called Cinniúint. It was a little confusing at first, but then she began to get the hang of it. Basically, the board game was a lot like the game of Life, with a little truth or dare mixed in. Each person had to roll the dice and move along the board to their destiny. Fate cards awaited them at every turn. Sarah was ahead by a large margin. With her next turn, she landed on a Fate square. Picking up the Fate card, she blushed furiously.

"What does it say?" Allison asked.

"It says, 'Fate has intervened again, you must tell the room the name of your first love or suffer the consequences,'" Sarah read. Unfortunately, this game was of magic. This meant she couldn't lie or else everyone would know when she suffered the consequence.

Allie looked at her friend strangely. She had no idea what was bothering Sarah so much. "Sarah, just tell them his name and get it over with."

"Who's name, Lady Allison?" Gough asked.

"James, her boyfriend up until a couple of weeks ago," Allison said. Her friend groaned and whispered something into Allie's ear. Allison's eyebrows went up and she gasped. No wonder Sarah had blushed so furiously. Somebody in this room was going to get an even bigger ego than he already had.

"James was not my first love," Sarah mumbled. "I met him after I met my first love. And before I say this name, I want it understood that this was a crush. Nothing more. I was young and impressionable."

"Go ahead Sarah," Allie said, standing and walking behind her friend. She put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Sarah took a deep breath and said, "Very well. It was…Jareth."

Everyone turned to look at the Fae in question. He had an unbelievably arrogant smirk on his face. He looked like the cat who ate the canary. He shrugged his shoulders at the group, as if to say, 'What? You know I'm amazingly beautiful. Who could resist me.'

"Oh wipe that smirk off of your face," Sarah said. "It was a silly schoolgirl crush and I'm quite over it now. I'm not fifteen anymore you know."

"That was quite apparent this morning, precious," Jareth purred.

"That's it, I think I'm tired and ready to go to bed," Sarah replied. She stood up and made her way to the door.

As the four men got into an argument about who was to escort Sarah back to her room, Sarah blew a whistle between her fingers. The shrill noise startled everyone into silence.

"I want some ice cream before bed, come on boys," Sarah announced. When the four men started towards her, she put her hand out as if to stop them. "I didn't mean you. I was talking about my five friends. While you finish your pissing contest, my friends and I will be in the kitchen eating ice cream. Good night."

The group watched as Sarah walked away with her little entourage, who looked very happy at the prospect of eating ice cream with their new friend. Allie and Fagan were doubled over in laughter and went to follow. The four suitors looked at each other angrily and went to join them.
