They talked for what seemed like hours.

"Alright Sarah now first things first , Jareth tells me that you will be traveling to the land

of the elves , so I will be teaching you the proper greetings of their culture."

Sarah looked at Jaline and was reassured by her smile that everything would be alright .

Sarah quickly joined Jaline in the center of the room . Taking her side sarah took a deep

breath .

"I'm ready." Sarah said reassuring herself more than Jaline.

"Alright , if I'm not mistaken the proper gesture in your human culture is to shake hands

right?"

"Yes." Sarah answered offering her hand that Jaline eagerly excepted.

Her hands were so soft . Like a baby , Sarah thought.

After shaking hands for a few moments Jaline released Sarah's hand.

Taking a few steps back , "In the eleven culture the tradition gesture of introduction is to separate your feet so that they are a lined with each shoulder ," she said flowing her instructions as she motioned for Sarah to do the same, "good then if you are female which both of us are depending if you are already belonging to someone you would curtsy moving your left leg back and if you were not with your right and vise versa with males . Do you fallow ?"she asked with a concerned smile.

Although Sarah understood Jaline's instructions perfectly she was still extremely confuse.

Noticing the bewilderment on her face, "Sarah are you all right were my instructions not

clear enough ? I'm sorry if they weren't I told Jareth I wasn't that good of a teacher."

"No no its not that I understood perfectly its just.."

"Just what Sarah?"

Although they had just only met Sarah felt so comfortable around Jaline . She was just the kind of person who the moment they walked into a gray room everything returned to color. Everything about her was warm and happy .

"Jaline I know that we just met and barely knew each other but can I talk to you about

something?"

"Oh Sarah of course you can. I want so deeply to be your friend . You can tell me anything ."Joy and concern took over her face as she awaited for Sarah to answer.

It was very true , she had known since Sarah had run the Labyrinth that one day she and

Jareth would be together and she wanted no more to be anything less than a sister to her.

Taking a deep breath Sarah begged that Jaline would not think her a nut job for what she

was about to tell her.

"Well its just with the gestures I don't know which one I am supposed to do ."

"What do you mean?"

"Well how you said if your taken you gesture differently than if your not well I don't

know which one I am supposed to do…"

"O I see …"

"Yes you see everything happened so fast and I'm so confused . I mean up until yesterday all I remembered about Jareth was he was just some bully who stole innocent children and made there siblings run for his own amusement . Then yesterday everything changed he told me the truth about it all and everything, everything I'd assumed about him had been wrong and that night in the ballroom wasn't just a dream it was real, he was real ,his offer was real , his love was real but I was to naive to believe him. And then last night when we… its all just happening so fast . I mean one minute I'm at home waiting for…" Sarah paused as complete bewilderment took over her face.

"You were at home waiting for what Sarah?"

"I… I don't remember . I can't remember .I think was waiting for something or someone

but I just can't remember …"

"Well tell me everything you do remember ."

"I remember as I was parking my car I thought I saw I white owl then I went inside and my house was over flowing with roses . I was afraid I'd get lost in them and then I went inside . I ate my dinner and than I must of fallen a sleep because the next thing I remember was everything flying then I was on the ground and Jareth was there then everything went black . Then when I woke up I was on a hill just beyond what was left of the Labyrinth and that's when Jareth and I cough up."

Hearing this Jaline took in a deep breath only to have her suspicions confirmed.

"Hmm I see well maybe when you were on the floor you must have hit your head. Don't

worry I'm sure it will all come back to you in due time." she smiled reassuringly.

"I hope so… but I'm not sure if it will help you see I realize now that I love Jareth and I always have . When I first read Labyrinth I fell in love with it not just for the adventure but for the King . He and I were just so similar in so many ways and I realize now that he dose feel the same way . I love Jareth I do I truly do . He did everything in his power to try to save me and all I did was mock him . I will never understand why someone like him could ever love a fool like me ."

"Sarah listen to me your not a fool you just didn't know all the facts .I'm sure if you did things would of turned out differently, but you're here now and you're going to go out and help my brother save his Labyrinth . For as long as I can remember my brother has always been withdrawn and mischievous but when you came into his life he changed a whole other side of him came to life . I had never seen my brother lovesick over a girl and it was tens times the case with you . Jareth loves you Sarah in ways you we'll soon come to find are the reasons why love is so treasured."

Jaline's words were so comforting and reassuring to Sarah. After what she had learned

last night she knew that Jareth loved her but to what extent had been a puzzle until now.

She took a deep breath as she prepared herself to tell Jaline the final thing that had been

bothering her since the moment she arrived.

"Jaline back to the gestures the one that was bothering me I'm still unsure about."

"Sarah although my brother might not of said anything I'm assuming that he is under the

impression that you two are together now ." she said smiling at Sarah.

Sarah returned the smile a little embarrassed at her own ignorance, but her smile slowly faded as she was reminded of what was still left unsaid.

"That was what was bothering me but that wasn't it when you first showed me and told me what it means , although a I was still confused about Jareth and me , there was something . A feeling deep down inside of me that told me I was taken . It was like as if I already belonged to someone but I have no idea who but it wasn't Jareth ."

Jaline's widened as she now understood Sarah's dilemma, "Sarah don't worry your still getting a grip on everything that's been happening its completely human to go through something like this and I promise everything will fall into place it will just take time." she flashed Sarah a reassuring smile as she thought of her brother and all the explaining he had to do.

Authors Note :

Hey everyone I'm sorry it took awhile for me to update but now to say my life is 'crazy' is an understatement. I was black mailed by one of my best friends and my favorite teacher (who happens to be the coach) to join the long distance track team which means everyday after school I get to go run 6 miles yay… along with that my school is preparing for our musical and Im in charge of all the painting and honestly before this I used to love painting but this has made me never want to paint again.

Then on top of everything my older brother had a seizure from watching Alice in Wonderland in 3D with his wife so we were all at the hospital for what seemed like days. Knowing how boring hospitals can be I brought my laptop so I could work on my fic well my sister-in-law read them an loved them and lucky for you guys she convinced me that my chapters were to short and they had to be longer . So from now on all my chapters will be longer!

On another note Im sorry again for the wait it really is my fault because I write my chapters out of order but let me tell you its worth the wait Im in the middle of chapter 10 which Im not done with yet and its already OVER 5 PAGES!

Thank you so much again for your wonderful reviews its what keeps me going. Without your kind words I don't think I'd have the will to go on . It really touches my heart to Know how much you love it so please if you keep it up so will I and the more reviews I get the sooner I'll update ;D

Well tata loves - Mello
