AN: I WAS going to wait for a while before I uploaded this chapter. HOWEVER, since today is my birthday and I was feeling generous, I decided I'd go ahead and update. Your welcome! :)

Light: I wish I owned the Labyrinth right now!

Jareth: No can do.

Light: You heard him- I don't own Labyrinth or any of its wonderful inhabitants.

"This is where you'll be staying. You'll find clothes and shoes in your dresser. That door," he pointed, "will lead you to your bathroom. The other one,"he pointed at another door, "will lead you to the library." He saw Sarah's eyes light up at the word library. Jareth knew it was her favorite place, besides the park where she practiced her lines.

Sarah tried to take in all of the extravagant room. The floor was covered in marble, the walls were a bluish grey which went well with the curtains, which were a lavender color. Sarah could see a balcony through the curtains. Then she looked at the furnishing. All of the doors were white with dashes of gold painted across them. A few white chairs were spaced out across the room, each having a little white table on the side of it. The bed looked extremely comfortable. White silk bed sheets, pale blue pillows, and mahogany bed posts. It was way too good to be true.

Sarah turned and gave Jareth a hug. He was stunned for a moment. She's really hugging me, Jareth skipped with glee on the inside. Sarah pushed him away quickly in shock.

What am I doing, she though. He's the enemy!

"A thank you is in order. " he said calmly, trying to hide the disappointment he felt.

"For what? You steal me away from home and expect me to thank you?!" she snapped.

"Do you know how long-!" he bellowed. He caught himself and stopped. She just had to get used to the Underground first. Jareth backed away and started toward the door. "Oh and by the way," he turned and faced her, "you'll be having dinner with me at 6 o'clock. Sharp." Jareth slammed the door behind him.

Sarah jumped into the bed, screaming in her pillow. But not because she was mad at Jareth but mad at herself. Why couldn't she stop being so stubborn and at least thank the man?!

She couldn't help but think back to his grin in the hallway. His mismatched eyes seemed to smile as well. His pointed teeth made it seem more like a smirk but Sarah could tell that it was genuine. Sarah sighed and jumped off the bed. Walking over to the dresser, Sarah thought about how she would apologize to Jareth.

"Of course he would be all smug about it and say 'I told you so' or something like that," she muttered. She opened the dresser up and gasped. There were dresses, shirts, pants, and shoes of all kinds and colors. It was more than she could ever imagine. After looking through the massive amount of clothes, Sarah chose a knee-length dress, emerald-green with silver vines creeping down the sides. There was a chest of jewelry on top of the dresser. She chose a pair of silver earrings that twisted together and had a tiny emerald dangling in the center. As for a necklace, she chose a silver chain. Simple but elegant, she thought. Sarah smiled and went to work on her hair. She decided to have half of her hair up and half of it down. She twisted the top part into a loose bun and curled the bottom half, making waves as she went along. As for makeup, she went without it. Her lashes were dark enough that she didn't need mascara and she never needed to use foundation.

"Not bad," she looked at herself in the mirror. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jareth smirking in the corner.

"Like what you see?" she asked, facing the Goblin King. He sauntered over and placed his hands on her hips.

"Of course. I'd like you in anything you wore precious," he nuzzled her neck, "especially if it were nothing at all." Sarah's breath hitched as he slid his fingers up her dress and then stopping on her chest.

"Jareth," she gasped, "Stop. Please." Jareth stepped away, obliging to her plea. She'll want more later, he thought to himself. His eyes gazed over her. Her jade eyes popped out more because of her dress. And her dress-it clung to her in so many places that she hadn't noticed. Jareth could feel something growing. Normally he would have ravished the girl standing in front of him. But this was no ordinary girl. This was the girl-no woman, he corrected himself, that beat his Labyrinth. This was his angel, his Queen. He had to refrain from frightening her.

"Um...hello? Underground to Jareth?" Sarah pulled him out of his thoughts.

"Dinner. That's right."

He offered her his right arm. Sarah hesitated for a moment then took it timidly. He led her down the hallway, through two flights of stairs, five hallways, and then finally through a pair of golden doors. Sarah stood in amazement as she looked around the magnificent room. White walls, gold curtains, and a polished marble floor. In the center of the room was a table that could seat about fifteen people. However it was set for two. A vase of anemone sat in the center of the two placements. Jareth pulled a chair out for Sarah. Be gentlemanly and kind, he thought to himself, not cruel. He flashed a smile at her that was ignored by the young women. He remained calm and sat across from her.

"You look very beautiful, love." Jareth attempted at a normal conversation, fidgeting in his seat. He noticed her blush spread on her entire face.

"Thank you. And thank for setting up a room for me as well." she quietly answered.

"It was nothing really." he lied. It took him months to study her and figure out her favorite colors, her favorite type of clothing, and even her preference in shampoos for her bath (though she hadn't visited it yet).

Sarah played with the flowers. "These are really lovely Jareth," she said, trying to move away from the topic of thank yous.

"They're for you. Do you know the meaning of anemone?" he asked. Sarah shook her head. The Goblin King smiled.

"I'll let you find that out on your own. It's my gift to you." he grabbed hold of her hand that was holding a flower.

Dinner went by quickly. Sarah and Jareth left the dining hall and he escorted her back to her bedroom.

"Well precious, this is where I say goodnight," he bowed before her and kissed her knuckles, "Sweet dreams Sarah." Jareth quickly placed a kiss of her cheek. Sarah blushed and said goodnight to him.

She changed into a silk nightgown, frowning that it barely covered any cleavage at all.

"Pervert," she huffed. Sarah stepped out onto her balcony. She looked over the entire Labyrinth. She could see the Firey Forest that glowed red in the night.

Must be singing by the fire again, she shuddered at her memory of running into the Fireys. It was not something she wanted to do again. She turned to another corner of the Labyrinth. She could see a small waterfall surrounded by a forest. Well, she tried to see it.

"I need to go to sleep. I can explore tomorrow." she told herself, climbing into the huge bed.

Meanwhile, Jareth sat in his throne room, watching Sarah through his crystal ball.

"My love...," he whispered and kissed the orb lightly. It disappeared into a sprinkle of glitter.

"Yer Majesty?" a voice called from the door.

"Come in," Jareth sighed. He hated calling the dwarf in but Sarah would have to trust him after she saw her friend. Jareth shivered at the very word. He loved, and hated, that aspect of her. That she could befriend anyone and everyone in his kingdom with no trouble at all. Jareth snapped back to attention as the little man hobbled in.

"Errr...wha' did ya need me for, yer Majesty?"

"It's Sarah, Hogbrain."

"Hoggle."

"Whatever. Sarah needs a companion. And you're her 'friend'," Jareth spat the word out in disgust, "so you will take care of her while I am gone."

"Gone, yer majesty?" the dwarf questioned.

"It's none of your business. Just take care of her while I'm away," Jareth sneered, "Oh and Hogwart-"

"Hoggle!"

"If she kisses you, you'll be dipped headfirst into the Bog of Eternal Stench!" he ran out of the window and switched to his owl form, flying off in the night.

"What 'ave I done to deserve this?" Hoggle mumbled to himself and trudged out of the room.

AN: What do you think? I made sure to include Hoggle! Sir Didymus and Ludo come later, I promise. As I have said before, please R&R. It makes me a happy author. :)

With love,

your faithful author.
