Sarah planned to prank Jareth before he pranked her. She got a hold of a bag of dog treats and icing from aboveground; She was going to take all the dog treats and cover them with vanilla icing then they would become cookies. Sarah would offer Jareth one of the cookies, he would not like it and would retaliate. The rest of the cookies she would give to the goblins; They would eat almost anything.
Sarah approached Jareth with a tray of cookies.
Sarah asked him, "Would you like a cookie."
Jareth said, "Yes I would like one."
He picked up one and took a bit. He spit out the piece that he bit on to the ground.
Jareth told her. "They are lousy cookies Sarah."
Then he walked away unaware that it was a prank. Sarah was disappointed at Jareth's reaction to the prank. Little did she know that Jareth knew it was a prank. He already had an idea for a prank. Sarah then took the cookies to the goblins. The goblins grabbed the cookies and ate them. They like the cookies very much. There was no accounting to taste in a goblin.
The next day Jareth waited for Sarah to come into the throne room, so that he could pull his prank on Sarah. He had a coin that had it edges blackened. Jareth was going to bet that Sarah could not roll the coin down her face. The results of that action would leave a mark on Sarah's face. She would not be aware of it until someone told her about it. Jareth made the bet with Sarah. She rolled the coin down the middle of her face; She did not know of the mark on her face.
It was later when one goblin told her about the mark on her face. It was then that the goblins begin to laugh at her face and her reaction to the prank. Sarah's mouth and eyes were open wide. She was so very angry at what Jareth did to her. In retaliation, she was going to pretend that it did not happen at all. This would frustrate Jareth to no end.
Sarah went and looked for Jareth to let him know that the prank did not work. She found him in the gardens wandering around. He saw her and noticed that the mark was still on her face. He wondered if she knew that it was there. Sarah went and took some of the mark off and put it on his face. He was not expecting that. Jareth conjured a crystal; it turned into a wet face cloth. He washed the mark off Sarah face and his face.
Jareth told her, "That went well didn't it."
He then disappeared to avoid Sarah's anger.
.A/N: The idea for these pranks come from Charm Shadow and Satan'sPixie.
