Sarah's mind couldn't focus as she stood on the balcony overlooking the land that would soon be partly hers. She would rule alongside Jareth – over the Goblin kingdom as his Queen. She had so many dreams about this in the time they had spent apart. There were daydreams in her classes when she should have been paying attention. The nights she spent under covers lying in slumber dreaming of his eyes and his hand holding hers. Here she was- on the balcony that looked over the kingdom. The dress of ivory draped across her skin, framing her chest and flowing down over her stomach and legs, finishing at the floor, flowers stitched into the dress at different points. Rouge lips parted as the wind blew at her- Sarah's eyes closed as she savoured the cool breeze. Her hair tied up loosely with strands falling, flying in the breeze. As she played with the engagement ring that graced her left hand she pondered how she had finally got to this point…
Jareth sat across his throne gazing over at the pearly throne that had been constructed for Sarah. She would finally be by his side, sat on the throne next to his, stood by his side and holding his hand. Ruling the kingdom together that he had ruled for so long by himself. The kingdom he had won from his siblings, the kingdom he so adored. He knew that she would be stood on the balcony looking out at the kingdom right now; she loved it just as much as he did. He could hear the guests congregating in the hall to watch the ceremony. The three- and dog- she had come to call her friends had been here for hours, and had visited many times since Sarah arrived. Jareth did not mind because he knew how much Sarah adored them, so he would learn to like them. Or put up with their presence for her sake.Sarah opened her eyes and peered over the balcony, looking at the Goblins checking invitations of the guests who were coming into the palace. They were all coming to see her wedding- yet her own family weren't going to be there. She could hear Ludo, Didymus and Hoggle causing a fuss and trying to get along. Failing, but they were obviously trying for Sarah's sake. Her heart warmed a little thinking of all of them together, dressed up. She had missed them terribly when she had been at home and longed to see them again. Her longing to see them when she was home was probably more intense than the longing to see her family again. Toby was the one she missed the most, his little cute nose, his chubby cheeks and the adoring way his eyes gazed at her. She looked back up to the sky, the sun falling over the horizon. Sarah slipped her hand across her stomach and pulled herself up straight, chin held high as she took in a long deep breath.
"Time to take the plunge…."
Jareth leant his head back as he closed his eyes. In mere minutes he would have a Queen and his life would change once more. The first time his life had changed since he became King was when he met Sarah, yet here she was about to dramatically alter his life a second time around. There was no remorse though, only excitement. They would be a very successful couple, relationship wise, and ruling wise. He had wished there was a way to bring Sarah's family but alas Jareth couldn't do that. He could not bear to see Sarah see her family and then chose to abandon him and return. Maybe he didn't only feel excitement. Fear slowly crept into his mind…
"Your highness, everyone is seated and ready. It's time"
