Chapter 9

"Well how do I look?" Sarah asked Meeky as she showed off the ball gown she chose for tonight's dance.

"Lady Sarah is very pretty." Meeky said, walking around making any little touchups that the dress needed.

Soon they both heard a knock on Sarah's door. Sarah turned to see Jareth stick his head in. "Well are you ready?" He asked.

"Almost." She said

"Ok. I just wait here." He said as he closed the door.

About five minutes later, Sarah stepped out of her room. Jareth turned to look at what she chosen to wear, and had the breath knocked out of him. Sarah had on a long, light blue ball gown. It had clear sparkles sewn in it every which way. It was strapless and hugged her body in just the right way.

It took Jareth a minute or so to find his voice. "Sarah you look…beautiful." Jareth finally said.

Sarah looked down with a rosy blush on her cheeks. "Thanks."

"Well let's get going." Jareth said as he held out his arm.

Sarah smiled and took his arm as he led her outside to where a beautiful white carriage awaited them both.

The ball was the best thing Sarah had ever had the pleasure of attending. There were many people there. Some dressed in white, blue, orange or any other color she could think of.

There were also many creatures that Sarah didn't even know existed. There were fairies (of course, since this is a ball thrown by the fairy king), unicorns, horse-men (A/N: I'm not sure what they are really called, the creatures that are half-horse, half-human.), and many, many more.

"Sarah." Said a voice from behind her.

Sarah turned and saw Jareth behind her. He was dressed in black tights that did nothing to hide his certain manly areas, a white poet shirt, and a blue vest with tiny sparkles on it. 'Would you like to join me out on the balcony?" he asked

"Um…sure." Sarah said, walking ahead of him to the double doors that led to the balcony.

When they both walked outside, they were greeted with a nice warm night. They could see the stars that were beginning to twinkle in the night sky.

"So…are you enjoying yourself so far Sarah?" Jareth asked.

"Yes I am, this is the first ball I have ever been to." She replied. "Isn't it beautiful out here tonight?"

Jareth looked at Sarah with a dazed look on his face. "Yea, it is." He said.

Sarah turned and saw Jareth looking at her strangely. "What? Do I have something on my face?" she asked, starting to brush at her face.

Jareth took her hand from her face and held it up to his. "No, your beautiful." He said

Jareth ran his gloved hand over her face and lips, feeling how soft they were under his touch.

Jareth leaned in and took Sarah's lips with his. He kissed her as softly as he could, for he didn't want to scare her away.

Sarah was surprised when Jareth suddenly kissed her. But even with her surprise, she kissed him back, though she didn't know why. "Maybe because it feels nice?" She thought to herself. Sarah leaned into Jareth as he started to kiss her harder.

Jareth took the back of her head and lightly pushed her more into the kiss.

Sarah started to get scared, remembering the horrible events that happened with Jake flashing in her mind. "Would he do the same to me? Should I risk it? No…get off me." She said in her mind.

"Jareth…stop" Sarah asked.

"Why?" Jareth said as he continued to kiss her.

"Jareth…please."

Jareth struggled to hold onto Sarah as she struggled to get herself free from his embrace.

"Stop!" Sarah started to panic now.

"Sarah…what's wrong?" Jareth asked trying to hold onto her.

"Please stop…not again…please." Sarah said as she got herself free from his grasp and ran back inside, tears coming down her face.

"What the…"
