Epilogue (5 years later).
Things had been so crazy for awhile...
Sarah suddenly becoming Fae had been unexpected, but she had dealt with it, with some help from Jareth. Luckily, it was a gradual phasing that would complete when they fully bonded on their wedding day. Which, after their long courtship, was coming up rather quickly. She luckily was able to spend time between both worlds, Above and Below, so she had gotten all she had desired from life; a chance to complete school, to spend time with her friends and family, truly enjoying the treasures that she possessed but had always taken for granted. She had become a better sister, daughter and step-daughter. She had gone to college, majoring in Celtic Mythology. She wanted to know all of the stories of the Fae, now that she was becoming one.
Jareth had even worked out a glamour so he could visit her above-ground, and he too, got to know her family. At first, they had all seemed a bit in awe of Jareth, all except Toby who acted like he was a long-lost friend. The level of intensity of their relationship at first made her parents wary, but soon they came to see the deep bond between the two, and not much more was thought about it. When Jareth proposed, he did it twice; once amongst their beautiful labyrinth, and then for show in front of her parents at Christmas. No one seemed too surprised when she said yes.
It had been decided that since Jareth could easily reorder time, their wedding days Above and Below would be on the same day. They would start Above, with a beautiful morning wedding and luncheon that they would slip away from, and head straight to Below, where a grand Underground wedding would be held in the Goblin Castle. Sarah knew that it would go long into the night... Jareth assured her such affairs could even go for days, but they would slip away from this one too, so that they could go off on their honeymoon. The honeymoon was a secret and surprise from Jareth to her, she could only imagine what he might have concocted! And as time went on, she could only imagine what might go on... Jareth had, of lately, made no attempts to hide his excitement at finally having her... ALL of her... at long last. She was both giddy with excitement and slightly scared, but she knew that he would never truly harm her. He couldn't.
So all in all, the Goblin King truly had fallen in love with the girl, and she with him. And they would live happily ever after, forever and ever. As she stood at her favourite window seat overlooking the labyrinth, Jareth came up from behind her and slipped his arms around her, kissing her neck softly. "What are you thinking so deeply about, Precious?" "Oh, you. Me. Our future." "Ah, I see. And what do you envision, my Queen?" "Happiness. Love. So much of it, Jareth. So much." He spun her in his grasp and smiled... as his lips descended to hers, he still took the last word.
"Indeed, my Queen. Indeed."
THE END.
