Thanks for the reviews.

Chapter 4

Sarah led Jareth into the living room. She sat on one end of the sofa and he on the other. They sat quiet for a few moments. Then Jareth turned towards her.

"What do we need to talk about?"

"I want to know why you sent the cleaners on me."

"You weren't in any real danger, but I did it because of what you said."

"All because I said "it's a piece of cake?" You need some serious help."

"I didn't want it to be a piece of cake. I wanted it to be a challenge."

Sarah turned and placed her back against the arm of the sofa. "It was for the most part. So what about the guards at the doors?

"It didn't matter which door you opened, it would have opened to the same place. The same with the other ones."

"So why have more than one door?"

"It allowed you to make a choice. It was more fun when you had to make a choice."

"No when it can lead to certain death."

"Well maybe I should have had them say something else."

"Yeah, may be you should have."

Sarah glanced at the black TV. "Why did it take you so long to come here?"

Jareth sighed. "I didn't know how you would react."

"Well don't you think a letter would have been a good place to start?"

"Maybe."

Sarah sighed. "How much longer?"

"Fifteen minutes."

Sarah nodded. "You could have tried something. Of course if you came here after I graduated, you wouldn't have found me."

"What do you mean?"

"As soon as I graduated high school, Irene kicked me out. I had to get an apartment. I can't go to school and make enough to cover the rent so I haven't been able to go to school."

"So you weren't able to complete your education?"

"Yeap. I work at the local bookstore. They pay me as much as they can. I do so much. At least I have a roof over my head and I'm close to Toby."

"If you had called, I would have helped."

"Well see I didn't know that. My life's not great, but it has its moments."

"Sarah, why did you want me to stay?"

"Well it's better to have a conversation with someone if they are really there, isn't?"

"Well yes."

"So I decided to have it for real and not just my head."

"Why would you?"

Sarah leaned forward, placing her hands on the cushions. "Because I always wondered." She began to crawl towards him.

Jareth swallowed. "About what?"

Sarah stopped beside him. "What if everyone knew the girl had fallen in love with the King of the Goblins?"

Jareth stared in shock as Sarah kissed him. Sarah pulled back when he didn't do anything.

"Did I do something wrong?"

Jareth swallowed. "No."

"Then what's wrong?"

"Are you absolutely sure, Sarah?

"Of course, I am."

Jareth grabbed Sarah by the shoulders and pulled her towards him, crushing his lips to hers. Sarah had no idea how long they were on the sofa making out, but she had a very good feeling he had reordered time at least once.

Finally after Sarah had no idea how long, they pulled away from each other.

"What time is it?"

"You still have thirty minutes until they return."

"Oh."

Jareth smirked. "Now we have to decide on where to go from here?"

"Yeah, I guess we do."

Sarah sat on the sofa. She glanced out into the hall. "So where do we start?"

"Well do you really want to stay here?"

"You in the house or this world?"

"This world, of course."

"Well, I can't leave Toby."

"It's always Toby." He stood up and began to pace in front of her. "You always pick him over me."

"Wait a minute. You don't understand. Irene makes his life horrible. I'm the only thing between him and her."

"So you have never stopped saving him it seems."

"Yeah, it seems I am."

Jareth sighed. "We could take him with us."

"What would happen if we did?"

"I would make it where neither of you were remembered here. It would be like you never existed."

"Really?"

"Yes, but of course everyone in the Labyrinth will know you and you won't be so alone."

"What do you mean?"

"Well considering how often your friends come to visit you, I think they are all you have except for Toby."

"Even if that's true, I still need to think about it. It's still a big decision."

"Yes it is."

Sarah sighed. "So how long are you willing to give me?"

Jareth sighed. "I'll give you twenty four hours or until you call me." He glanced into the hall. "I've better go as it seems they have returned."

Sarah watched as Jareth slowly disappeared. She heard the front door open. So she went to deal with Irene.

XOXOX

Jareth sat at the edge of his bed. It had only been six human world hours. So it was six am. She still had ¾ of a day to go, but he wished she would hurry up and make up her mind.

Of course he figured that she had gotten some sleep doing the last six hours, he had. But he wanted an answer now. He didn't want to spend another night alone. Jareth sighed. Well he need to dress and wait. That's all he could do.

Jareth glanced at the clock inside the throne room. It had almost been twelve hours and no word from Sarah. Sighing, he glanced at his subjects, who it seemed were still tired from the party. Most were asleep.

"Jareth, I need you."

Jareth created a crystal and disappeared. He reappeared in a horrible little space. It was barely enough room for a sofa, but something told him this was where Sarah lived. He turned towards what he had to assume was her bed.

"Have you made your choice?"

She raised her head from a pillow she was hugging. Tears fell from her eyes. "She won't let me see Toby."

"Who? I don't understand."

Sarah wiped her eyes. "I always come and take him away on Saturday, just so Irene can go to her committees and what not. Well, when I showed up today she wouldn't let me in the house. She kept going on about me letting Toby stay up too late and something else."

"What?"

"I don't know. She won't let me see him. I can't even get through on the phone. She has me blocked."

Jareth sat beside her on the bed. "Sarah."

"Jareth, we can't stay here. Would you take us, but give you and me some time?"

"I was going to give you all the time you needed, Sarah."

"So what do I do?"

"Just wish yourself and Toby away."

"Like I did before?"

"No, say were in the Labyrinth."

"K." Sarah snuffled. "I wish Toby and me were in the Labyrinth."

Well there you go. That's all folks. Well this one ended up being maybe 4 ¼ pages. So almost as long as the last chapter.

So review for the last time. If you're new, then please go read Persephone. Which will be updated soon as now I have finished this story.
