Sarah's negative memories from her entire life had been forgotten. Clouded over and hidden from her consciousness. She did not remember physical pain such as scraping her knees as a child. She did not remember any embarrassing moments, any emotional or psychological pain. She did not remember that her mother passed away when Sarah was ten years old.

She did not remember the first years of her step mother or Toby in her life. And all of the positive memories were hazy and dream like. Some of her good memories and clarity were still missing.

Sarah could see the happy memories of her stepmother and Toby but she could not recall who they were to her...just that they existed in her life.

In the castle Sarah was given her own bed chamber. With a wardrobe of outfits to match Jareth's.

She dressed into some of her new clothes and walked around the castle. Curious to see what her life would be like from now on.
She walked past little goblins wild and free. It was fairly messy, as goblins make messes and don't clean up after themselves. However, there were some beautiful places within the castle.
Sarah came across a room she recognized...the ballroom. It had not been a fantasy or a dream. There was a ballroom. She did not know it at the time but her experiences there in that room happened inside one of the goblin king's crystals. It had been an illusion. The room existed but she had never actually set foot in it until that day, exploring the castle as princess of the kingdom.

Sarah looked around at the mirrors on the walls, the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, the fine tables and chairs and the candles.

She was interrupted by Jareth. He walked up to her and put his hand on her cheek. She felt slightly uncomfortable but fought the feeling. Logic was telling her that she and the king were "a couple". That they had both chosen this life they were beginning together. So Sarah forced a smile and looked into his eyes for a moment.
The goblin king took Sarah's hand and lead her toward the center of the room where they began to dance.
