Sarah planned to pull two pranks on Jareth before he could pull a prank on her for the last prank, she pulled on him. She was excited about these two pranks, but she did not know why she was excited.
The first prank that she pulled on him was a spell that when Jareth made a crystal it would pop like bubbles when he touched them. He would not be able to use any of his crystal magic for 24 hours. He would have to do everything himself.
Jareth made a crystal, when he touched it popped like a bubble. He tried this several times, each time the same thing happened. Jareth was furious; He felt that Sarah was responsible for this prank. He could not retaliate with magic. He decided that he would wait awhile before he did anything.
Later that evening in the throne room Jareth was feeling very frustrated about not being able to use his crystals. Then Sarah appeared in the throne room with a water gun. She started a water fight with him for no reason. Except the fight was not fair for, Jareth had no way to get back at Sarah. Sarah felt that the water fight was not fair so she threw him a water gun. Then they had a fun water gun fight. The water fight made him feel a little less angry. He was able to lose some of his frustration during the water gun fight.
The water had run out of the guns. Sarah dropped her gun and ran away, then she disappeared from the castle to a hiding place she had in the Labyrinth. Jareth did not know about this hiding place that Sarah had. Jareth crystals could never locate Sarah in her special place. He would never know about this place for it was well concealed.
Jareth could not find Sarah, it was like she disappeared from the underground. He would know if she went aboveground, because there was an alarm that would go off when she went aboveground. He put in the alarm after Sarah's last visit to the aboveground.
Jareth had to stop looking for her, because someone was wishing someone to the goblins. Jareth was able to use his crystals again because of the wish. It broke the spell on his being not able to do magic, but he could again. He changed his clothes and went aboveground to do his job.
Later Sarah went back to the castle unaware that Jareth got his magic back earlier than he was supposed too. She went into the throne room and saw him twirling his crystals. Sarah then noticed that there was a child in the pit. She then figured out that the wish broke the spell. Sarah then ran out of the throne room and went to their bedroom. She felt that she could not face him right now.
Jareth was planning how to get back at her, but when she least expected it.
A/N: The ideas for these pranks come from goblinphantomgirl, and Satan'sPixie.
