Jareth!

Chapter 17

Chapter 17, Magic Dance!

Sarah's POV

Sarah sure was hoping this surprise would lead to a wedding day soon. How long was she going to have to wait for Jareth to ask her to marry him? She was willing. She was able.

She was going to say yes. She loved her new life in the underworld. Living as her true goblin self now. She new tonight Jareth had a party planned for her. She was getting ready for it that night.

She heard music playing in the ballroom. This time Jareth did not have to drug her or give her a peach to kidnap her and try to her get to dance. Or listen to him. He had her full attention all on him. She sure was ready. Someone knocks on the door as she gets ready for the big ball.

"Delivery for miss Sarah" someone calls out.

"Why? What is this?" Sarah asks curiously.

"From your mother" they say before leaving her with a large box.

"To Sarah from mother" reads the card. Sarah sets the card down after reading it out loud.

She carefully opens the box. Inside was the most beautiful gown she had ever laid eyes on. There was another note inside of it for her. She reads it. It says. To my dearest daughter. On your big night. This dress was made only for you. It will fit you perfectly. May all your wildest dreams come true tonight. I only wish happiness for you my sweet child. Love mother.

Sarah smiles. The gown was breath taking. It was silverish pink. Her dress shimmered when she held it up to the light. Jareth was going to love seeing her in this dress.

She would knock his socks off. Or in his case tights off. She hugs the dress with excitement. She begins to get ready. She tries it on. She twirls around in it. She loved how it did fit her perfectly.

Goblins came in helping her do her hair they swept if off her pretty face then did her makeup. She truly at that moment felt like a princess. She was going to be a queen. Not a princess. And being a queen was even better than that. She never thought she would find her one true love. Most people did not get that lucky in life. But here she had. She had found him.

Well, he found her!

She gazed at herself in the mirror. It did not look like a girl she knew before. But it was better. She had become a woman. She smiles at herself. Maybe tonight was the night. Why would her mom bring her such a gift? Why the fuss? It had to be the reason. Her heart flutters with happiness at the thought.

"It is time Sarah our soon to be queen" says Hoggle. He bows before her. "come this way" he orders as he holds his hand out for her to take.

"Where is everyone?" wonders Sarah curiously.

She follows Hoggle into the ballroom.

Everyone had masks on. Hoggle hands her one. The music begins.

"Your date for the dance will be just around the corner" Hoggle tells her.

He smiles then heads on his way. Everyone dances around her. She tries not to bump into anyone. Mystery. Her Jareth liked it a lot. She giggles. She keeps her eyes out for her handsome king.

Then she spots him in the crowd. With a mask on. Coming down the long beautiful staircase. She makes her way in the crowd to him. Her heart races in her chest. She hurries faster to get to his side.

Once she was close enough to him he takes off the mask. Then smiles down at her.

"My queen" he says sweetly to her.

"My king!" she teases playfully. He offers her his gloved hand to take. She does. Then he walks down the steps to her side.

They begin to dance. His eyes never leaving hers. He waltzes' her out to the balcony. They dance under the moonlight. She holds him close to her side. Not able to take her eyes off his handsome face.

Then he walks over to the side of the balcony.

"What a perfect night Sarah my love" he tells her.

"It sure is. You did all this for me?" she asks. "why?"

"You will know soon enough" he answers her.

"I love this dress. Mother sent me it. What do you think?" she asks as she twirls around for him.

"Oh, you look so beautiful Sarah. You always do" he says.

She blushes with pride.

"Twirl around once more in the moonlight. You are so pretty" he asks of her.

"Certainly, my king" she says.

She twirls around once more for him. When she comes around, she sees he is kneeling on one knee before her. Holding a ring out to her. She nearly stumbles with surprise.

"Oh" she exclaims.

"Sarah, will you do the honors of becoming my wife? Will you marry me? I am so in love with you and I can't imagine loving anyone else but you my beloved" Jareth sweetly tells her.

Happy tears come to Sarah. She can hardly find her words to say yes.

She nods. Then finally the words come to her.

"YES!" she exclaims happily.

He slides the ring on her finger with a shaky hand. Then he gets up. She holds him pulling him into her arms. He twirls her around in his embrace.

They celebrate with a kiss. She returns his kiss. Feeling loved by him. They were going to help both kingdoms with their new found love. Together everyone would be saved. It was indeed a joyful time to be around.

"I think you are so creative! You remembered when you tried to keep me here before. Witch that was very sneaky of you" she teases him. "then you turned it to be something romantical. You amaze me" Sarah softly tells him. He kisses her.

"I wanted today to be something you would always look back upon and treasure for the rest of our lives. Something we can tell our kids" he says with a wink.

"I am sure this will be" she says with a smile.

"Did she say yes?" asks Hoggle.

Everyone was trying to get a view of her hand. And the ring. They were waiting so patiently for Sarah's good news to fall on the kingdom. Sarah giggles as Jareth holds out his beloveds' hand showing off the ring on her finger.

"SHE SAID YES!" he calls out.

The whole kingdom joyfully cries with joy and claps their hands. They were thrilled that Sarah was going to be their new queen.

And Jareth to remain their king. Sarah grins. Jareth twirls her in his arms. Then holds her close as she looks into his eyes. They share a kiss as everyone around them celebrates the grand moment.

Their kingdom was saved but most importantly Sarah's heart was saved. It was no longer broken. It was fully restored. It was whole. All because love found it's way into her world as it should have always been there.
