When Lana and Jareth reappeared they were standing in the throne room. Which was empty.
Jareth sighed. "I suppose you will be wanting to go home then?" Jareth looked at her waiting.
Lana nodded but said something he wouldn't have expected. "Would you come and stay with me for a while?" She smiled. "I'd enjoy the company and you could see mother again."
Jareth blinked. "After what happened before your mother probably wouldn't want to see me. But yes I will come and stay with you for a few days. It'd be a nice vacation."
Lana hugged him. "Thank you!" She let go at the sudden rush of heat. "Can we go now? Or would you rather rest?"
Jareth laughed. "We can go now. I don't need anything from here for now." Lana nodded as he put his hand on her shoulder. They disappeared. When they reappeared it was in her apartment.
Lana looked at him. "I'll call in and see if I cant get a few days off. Since your job was probably turned over to someone else." She frowned slight. Looking away, she walked over to the phone. Picking it up she dialed the number. A few minutes later after she got a hold of her new boss she smiled. "He said it was all right if I take a few days off, since I hadn't the whole time I've worked there."
Jareth nodded. "That's great."
Lana laughed. "Yes, it is. Would you like to have a look around town?"
Jareth shook his head. "No." He approached her. Stopping hardly a foot away. Lana seemed a bit shocked but she pushed it aside. "What I want is something I don't think I can have." Reaching out he pulled her into a soft hug. Lana relaxed with a sighed.
"What is it that you want, Jareth?"
Jareth kissed the top of her head. "You. Even since I laid eyes upon you I've wanted you with me. That is why I brought you to the Underworld. I thought I could seduce you into bedding me. But I was proven wrong. And over time I realized I was falling in love with you." He cupped her face. "Please Lana. Live in the Underworld with me. Become my Queen."
Lana stared up at him wide eyed. But before she could answer her door was thrown open by Sarah.
"Lana!" Sarah stopped dead in her tracks at the sight that greeted her. Jareth stood right up against Lana cupping her face as if he was about to kiss her. "What- What the hell is going on!?!?"
Jareth dropped his hands moving away from Lana. "Nothings going on Sarah."
Sarah slammed the door shut. "My ass. What the hell were you doing? Where the hell have you two been all this time!? I tried calling on you. But you didn't answer. I tried calling Lana but no answer. Will someone please tell me what the hell is going on!"
Lana laughed. "Please Mom, calm down. Nothing happened. We just ran into a few problems at work and one thing led to another and there was a big ordeal in the Underworld."
Sarah looked at Lana. "What do you mean one thing led to another? You two didn't-"
Lana shook her head. "We didn't do anything." He voice was now serious. "Jareth's brother, Curt, tried to kill Jareth and make me his. But Jareth stopped him. That's all that happened. Honestly it is."
Sarah opened her mouth and then closed it. Finally she spoke. "And what about just now?"
Lana blushed slightly. "Jareth was just. Well, he was asking me to go and live with him in the Labyrinth as his Queen."
Sarah growled. "There is no way in hell I'm letting you do that."
Lana glared. "Its my choice. And I haven't decided yet. Jareth is going to be staying for a few days. I'll make up my mind by the time he leaves." Jareth seemed to have relaxed a little from before.
He nodded and spoke. "Please Sarah understand. I love Lana. Just like I loved you at one point. And I'm asking her to come with me because I don't think I can stand another minute without her near. I came here to the above ground just to be near her before when she got the better job. I was her boss and even though it was hard to not tell her I was content with just being near enough to watch over her and make sure she was well."
Sarah looked at him. "Do you mean all this time it was you that I was hearing about from her?"
Jareth nodded. "Yes."
Sarah growled. But Lana cut her off. "Please Mom don't get mad. Please understand. Jareth's my guest and I don't want him to be uncomfortable. So could you please calm down. We've both explained what happened."
Sarah sighed and nodded. "All right. I'm sure you are bother tired. Call me later Lana. We can talk more then."
Lana nodded. "Okay. I will." Sarah opened the front door leaving without another word. Jareth and Lana both sighed. "I'm sorry. I didn't know she was going to show up."
Jareth nodded. "Its all right. It wasn't your fault. Though I was a bit surprised. I guess she has every right to be mad to."
Lana sat down on the couch. "Yeah, I guess so." Letting her head fall back Lana closed her eyes. Within a matter of minutes she was asleep. Jareth watched and had to force himself not to laughing at the funny sight. Quietly he walked to her. Bending down he picked her up gently heading for her bed room. When he got there he placed her softly on the bed pulling the covers up over her.
"Sleep well Lana." Placing a light kiss on her forehead he left the room to sleep on the couch.
Jareth sighed. "I suppose you will be wanting to go home then?" Jareth looked at her waiting.
Lana nodded but said something he wouldn't have expected. "Would you come and stay with me for a while?" She smiled. "I'd enjoy the company and you could see mother again."
