A/N: Hi all. Happy Valentines Day! Unfortunately I don't have anyone to share it with this year, but I hope that you all do.

Here is another chapter for you. Sorry it took me so long to get it to you. Life kind of interrupted my writing. Also, I will be taking a vacation in a couple of days, so it will be a short while before I get the next chapter out to you. But after that, I promise that I will update this story more often. Enjoy, and don't forget to leave me some feedback on the way out, I live off of it!

All thought left Jareth's mind as his lips fell upon Sarah's, and all he could focus on were how soft they felt when they danced with his. Sarah tried to focus on making the kiss look as though the two of them were really in love, but she had to admit, it was very difficult to keep her focus.

When the two of them broke the kiss, Sarah looked into his eyes and thought she saw something burning in them, but as soon as she saw it, it was gone, and replaced by the usual cold demeanor.

They turned to see Arcinot with his mouth hanging wide open, and Antonia's eyes glaring at the two of them, her face turning redder by the second. Once Arcinot had picked his jaw up off of the floor, he asked, "Jareth, would you mind introducing us to you friend please?"

Jareth looked quickly at Sarah, then back at his visitors, "King Arcinot, the reason I can't go through with the formal proposal is because my heart belongs to another. I would like you to meet Lady Sarah," he turned his focus toward Antonia, and finished with some emphasis, "my fiancée."

"What?" Antonia shrieked at the top of her lungs. "How can you be his fiancée? Why are we only hearing about this now?"

"Yes Jareth," Arcinot agreed. "As charmed as I am to meet you Lady Sarah, I would like to know how your engagement came about."

"Well," Sarah began before Jareth could explain. "Jareth and I met each other years ago, and during our short time together, had an amazing connection." She finished and looked at Jareth to take over.

Following her cue, Jareth continued, "We came across each other not too long ago, and became friends again. Then the friendship grew into love for each other and we realized that we were meant to be together. So we decided fairly recently that we were going to get married." He wrapped his arm around Sarah's waist and pulled her to him, holding onto her tightly.

He continued, "I have just been so caught up in everything going on with Sarah, that I completely forgot to notify you of what happened. I sincerely apologize for that, Arcinot. Can you forgive me?" Jareth asked, looking back at King Arcinot.

"Why of course Jareth," Arcinot replied, reaching his hand out and grabbing Jareth's to shake. "It's completely understandable that you would have other things on your mind. Right Antonia?"

Antonia was glaring at Sarah and Jareth, one eyebrow arched up toward her hairline. She didn't answer her father, but instead turned her glare toward her father and asked angrily, "Can we leave now?" And without waiting for an answer, turned on her heel and stormed out of the throne room, the other three watching her as she went.

Arcinot sighed and turned his gaze back to Jareth and Sarah. "I apologize for Antonia's behavior," he said, "I'm sure that she will come around, and when she does, she will be happy for both of you. Sarah, it was a pleasure meeting you, and I wish you both the best in your marriage." And with that, Arcinot nodded his head, turned on his heel, and walked out the same path that his daughter took not a minute before, leaving Jareth and Sarah alone in the throne room.

Once they were sure that he was gone, Jareth and Sarah simultaneously let out a sigh of relief and Jareth dropped his arm from around her waist. She quickly moved away from him, and asked, "So you think that they bought it?"

"It would certainly seem that they did," Jareth answered. He looked at Sarah and asked, "What made you change your mind?"

"I thought about it for awhile," Sarah began, "and I realized that you saved my life. So I figured that I owed you for that."

"So you will help me then?" Jareth asked, the hope that she had seen in his eyes the previous night returning, and a small smile forming on his lips.

"Yes, I will help you, but on my terms." Sarah said to him.

The smile that had moments before appeared dropped as Jareth took in what Sarah had just said. He wasn't planning on any sort of negotiation from her, and knowing how stubborn she could be would make things all the more difficult. He said to her, "Tell me what your terms are, and I will consider them."

Sarah shook her head, then said, "No way. You have to agree to all of them right now or we can call the whole thing off, and you can call King Arcinot and Antonia back here again." She folded her arms across her chest and waited for his answer.

"What are they?" Jareth asked, a hint of frustration in his voice.

Sarah smiled, then began. "We will only act like we are madly in love with each other when others are around. Which means that I need my own room to sleep in. Second, I want to be able to see Hoggle and Ludo and sir Didymus whenever I want." She thought for a moment and said, "Also, I will still want to have access to Aboveground, be able to go back up there whenever I want to."

"I am afraid that I cannot accommodate that request, Sarah," Jareth said. "Moving back and forth between the two worlds is rather difficult and takes a lot of strength for me alone, to transport a mortal back and forth takes even more."

"But I will tell you what I can do," he said. "I will bring you back up one more time to gather some of your belongings that you might want to bring down here, and also clear any plans that you may have with friends and family so that they don't think that you will have gone missing."

"Also," he said as he pulled a crystal out of nowhere. "I will give you this crystal, which will show you anything you want to see Aboveground, so that you can keep up with friends and family."

Sarah froze, having a sense of déjà vu as Jareth held the crystal out to her. He saw the look on her face as he held the crystal, and said, "I assure you Sarah that it only shows you what I have told you, nothing more."

Reluctantly, Sarah stretched her arm out and took the crystal from Jareth's hand. "Give it a try." Jareth said as he watched her examine the crystal.

Sarah's looked from the crystal back up to Jareth, then she shook her head and said, "Maybe later. I guess I really have no other terms. Do we have a deal?"

Jareth said, "All right, I will agree. Deal." He took her outstretched hand in his and shook it. He then turned her hand a little to look at the ring that wrapped around her finger, "It does look very nice on your hand, I must say I have excellent if not exquisite taste." He said with humor in his voice, and a smile on his face.

Sarah raised an eyebrow and a small smile appeared on her face at his comment, and she pulled her hand away from his at the realization that she was enjoying the way he looked when he smiled way too much. Thinking quickly, she changed the subject, "So when can we leave and go Aboveground?"

"I can't believe that he would marry someone like her," Antonia said as she and her father sat in the carriage as it traveled out of the Goblin Kingdom. "She wasn't very pretty. I think that I am ten times more beautiful then her, yet he chose her over me."

"Now Antonia, she was not that bad." Arcinot said as he settled back into his seat, preparing for the long journey back home.

"There was something amiss between the two of them," Antonia said. "I felt that something was not right. It was like they were putting on some sort of act or something."

"Nonsense." Arcinot said. "I could tell that Jareth was really smitten by her. Although I am upset that you will not be his wife, I am happy that he found someone to be with. He deserves some peace after everything he has been through."

"Now if you don't mind," Arcinot said as he closed his eyes. "I would like to get some rest before we return back home."

Within minutes, Arcinot had fallen asleep, leaving Antonia to her thoughts. "There is something strange about this whole situation, and I intend to figure out what it is."
