Sarah walked into Sandra's room and Sandra's eyes widened in delight. "Sarah! I'm so glad you're here!" She ran over to her and grabbed her hand then dragged her over to the window. "Have you seen this view? It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! And the clothes! Oh my god, the clothes. To die for." Sarah laughed at her. "Oh, I guess you would know all of this, seeing as how you've been here for a while." Then she felt the ring on Sarah's finger and she looked down at it, then back up to Sarah's face with horror in her eyes. "You didn't. Not just get me home."
"No. I did it for-"
"Sarah, you didn't have to do that! We'll figure something else out. I swear it. You go right back out there and tell him no thank you. Like I said earlier, you can't marry him. He's crazy!"
Sarah grabbed Sandra's shoulders and smiled. "It's okay Sandra. I've never been more sure of anything in my life. Trust me. This is where I belong, and where I want to be. I actually do love him. I told you that this morning when I explained everything to you." She paused and a dreamy look came across her face. "When he kissed me this morning, I knew then that I belonged with him. You might not want to believe it, but it's true. Plus, there's something else I should tell you."
Sandra's eyes grew dark. "What?"
"Oh I can tell you that." Darin snarled as Sarah turned around and put herself protectively in front of Sandra. "So he's keeping two of you here? Even better, he can keep her, and you shall come with me." He grabbed Sarah by the wrist and instantly recoiled like he was in pain. He looked at Sarah with anger in his eyes. "Within the last half hour, you have gotten engaged to my brother?" Sarah nodded as she smiled. "No matter, I'll take her." He walked past Sarah and over to Sandra who was crying. He grabbed her wrist and turned to look at Sarah. "Although, it is truly you that I want, I will take her as a secondary prize. It's no matter to me."
"It matters to me Darin. She's my best friend. You can't have her." Sarah said in the most defiant voice she could muster.
He laughed at her. "The only person I can't have is you, and all because you have that blasted ring on your finger!" He snarled.
"You're wrong dear brother, you can't have either of them." He walked over to Darin and grabbed him forcefully off of Sandra and threw him against the wall. This time, Darin got up and ran at Jareth, punching him the face. Jareth looked at him stone cold in the face and punched him back, and so it on like that for what seemed like forever to the two girls, but it was really only minutes.
Darin looked up at Jareth. "This isn't over. One of them will be mine." He left defeated.
Sandra and Sarah walked to the dining hall for dinner. They sat next to each other while Jareth sat at the end of the table. He watched them as they talked to each other about the past and how much they would miss each other when Sandra would leave this world and go back to hers. Jareth almost felt bad about it, but not so much. He wanted to keep Sarah all to himself sure, but he did promise to let Sarah visit. He had an idea. His head perked up, and he looked up at Sarah. "Sarah darling,"
"Yes?"
"Remember how I said you could visit your family anytime you want to?"
"Oh, you are not taking that away, are you? Because I will rescind my acceptance. I will take this ring off right now!"
He shook his head. "No, nothing of the sort. Actually, I was just thinking, you could go visit Sandra whenever you wanted. She knows all about this place and how you never age. She'll know our secret. So you can visit her whenever, and she can tell people that you are her niece or something or other." He looked at Sandra who's eyes had widened. "Does that sound alright to you?"
"Yes!" They both said in agreeance. Then they started laughing as supper was brought into the dining hall.
The next morning, Sarah woke up to find Jareth sitting on the bottom of her bed. She stretched and smiled. "Good morning."
"Good morning love. Are you ready?"
Her went wide. "Ready for what? It's that late already?"
"No, we are getting married right now. Sandra is ready. You just have to go take your shower then get in your dress. Carlida will be right in to help you. When you are done, I will be waiting for you. My parents and sister are here. My brother thinks the wedding is tonight. He thinks my parents and sister are here helping me set up. He will not bother us."
She nodded as she got out of bed. She started to walk to the bathroom when he pulled her back to him playfully. "Don't you know it's bad luck to see the bride on the day of the wedding?" She asked him playfully.
"In my world, it's bad luck not to see the bride on the day of the wedding. Now, where's my kiss?" He said as he smiled. She leaned down and kissed him then giggled and ran to the bathroom.
Sarah walked out of the bathroom and Carlida was waiting for her. "Come, come sit down. We've much to do, and no time to do it! We have so little time to do it all in." She helped her into her gown which was pure white and much more beautiful than the dress she wore in the ballroom with Jareth. The only differences really were that it was more puffier and had way more jewels encrusted on it. Carlida had her sit down and began braiding her hair in different positions, and after a half hour, she let it all out. Letting her hair hang loose in waves.
Carlida took a few of those waves and pinned them up behind her head. She started putting make-up on Sarah's face and Sarah tried to push her away. "Milady, don't even try to stop me. He wants some make-up on your lovely face today, let me put it on."
"If he really loves my face, he wouldn't make me put make-up on it."
Carlida gave her a stern look. "You put on make-up in the aboveground. It's for one day, just let me do it." Sarah groaned and allowed her to put the make-up on her. Carlida was right, she had used make-up in the aboveground. Why not for just one day down here? "Are you ready now?" Sarah looked into the mirror and saw her eye lids were covered with blue and cheeks were covered in pink. Her lips were covered in pink also.
She nodded. "As ready as I can be." Then she smiled and stood up. "Although, I wish my father could be here for this. I wish he could walk me down the aisle."
"Oh milady, no one walks anyone down the aisle here. You just stand at the alter and say a few words. Then it's done." Sarah gave her a weird look. "I'm serious. It's different than what you're describing."
"Okay then. Let's go."
Sarah walked into the dining hall again and it was completely transformed. There was an alter and she was in awe of it. There were flowers wound all throughout it, and balloons attached to it. She looked around and saw his family sitting in the chairs next to the alter and she looked at the other side of the alter and saw her friends Hoggle, Sir Didymus, and Ludo sitting there. Sarah saw Sandra standing at her side of the alter and waved at her. Sandra waved back. She smiled widely and walked down the aisle as fast as she could. When she got there, she found Jareth waiting. She was taken aback, because he wasn't there when she started walking down the aisle.
She bit her lip and looked at him. "I don't know how this works down here." She admitted lamely.
He smiled and looked at her. "It's okay my love, I'll go first. All you do is tell the one you love how you truly feel then you recite the same words that I will say at the end and it will be over. Okay?" She nodded. He grabbed her hands and began talking. "When I first met you, you were nothing but a child. I thought you were nothing but a brat, and that I could best you with my games. But you showed me. You proved me to that you were worthy of my love and that you were worthy of sharing my kingdom with me. The moment you defeated me, I hated you, but I loved you at the same time. When you left, I was heartbroken. I ruined so much of my kingdom that I had to fix it up. All I did was scream and yell at every one. Then I watched you grow into a young woman, and I was determined to bring you back here and make you mines. I'm so glad we found each other again." He looked deep into her eyes. "I promise to love you for all of eternity, no matter what we go through, or what happens. You are mine. Forever."
Sarah smiled. She was nervous. She didn't know exactly what to say. She shook her head and her body to shake her thoughts clear. "When I first met you, you were nothing but arrogant and mean. You still are, but that's a whole other subject. You stole my brother, well, that's not right, you took my brother away at my request. Which I'm thankful for, because without that wish, I never would have met you. When I got sent back home, I hated you also, but I realized that I loved you. I actually realized that in the ballroom. I tried to forget all about you when I came home, but you are just so un-forgetable Jareth. I mean, look at you. I'm also glad that we found each other again, but not the way we did." She looked deep into his eyes and smiled at him. "I promise to love you for all of eternity, no matter what we go through, or what happens. You are mine. Forever."
Jareth leaned over and they kissed. She blushed and pushed him away. "Not in front of your parents."
He laughed. "It's expected when you get married love."
Sandra came up behind Sarah and grabbed her to turn her around and then hugged her. "I can't believe you got married! Oh, do you like my dress? I love it!" It was exactly like the purple one Sarah had worn yesterday, but it was blue. Sarah nodded and Sandra had tears in her eyes. "Well, Jareth says I'm going home now." She hugged Sarah again, but this time tighter. "I'm going to miss you."
"I'm going to miss you also Sandra." She smiled through her tears. "But, like Jareth said, I can come visit whenever I want!"
Jareth walked over to the two girls. "Are you ready Sandra?"
"As ready as I'll ever be."
Sarah looked at Jareth. "Wait! Is she going to be okay when she goes back?"
"Why wouldn't she be?"
"You told me that they think she's been kidnapped."
Jareth gave her a smile. "Don't worry, it's all taken care of love. She will be absolutely fine. I promise." He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her forehead. "Are you ready Sandra?" Sandra nodded. Jareth snapped his finger and Sandra disappeared leaving Sarah with Jareth, his family, and her friends.
"What's going on here? I thought the wedding was tonight!" Darin looked over at his mother accusingly. "How could you lie to me mother?"
She stared at him with eyes of stone. "Easily."
