Chapter 11

Jareth led Sarah into one of the many gardens surrounding the Castle, the very one she had dreamed of the night before. They walked over to a bench and sat down, facing each other.

"Sarah, what wrong? Did something happen to Toby? Or your friends?"

Sarah smiled weakly. "Nothing is wrong. I promise."

"Then what is it?"

"Yes."

"Yes, what?" Then it him right in his face. "Yes."

Sarah nodded. Jareth smiled, stood up, grabbed hold of Sarah forcing her to stand, and then picking her up. Soon the two were spinning around.

XOXOX

Sarah walked along a path past the Goblin City. She was on her way to Hoggle's home. Her friends had taken Toby there to get him away from the yelling, now she was going to get him. Along the way back, she would on the way back tell him about Jareth and her. Sarah rounded a corner and saw a nice little cottage.

As she entered the yard, Toby came out running. "Sarah!"

Sarah kneeled down and hugged him. As the little boy moved away, Sarah smiled. "Did you have a good time?"

"Yeap."

Hoggle, Sir Didymus, and Ludo came out of the house. Hoggle came up to the siblings. "We know, Sarah. We haven't told him yet."

"Congratulations, my lady."

Sarah nodded to them. "Thanks." She stood up and took hold of Toby's hand. "Come on, Toby, we need to get back to the Castle."

"K. Bye." Toby waved as they left.

Sarah turned to head. "Bye, I promise to come back or you all can just come to the Castle."

Hoggle shook his head as they went out of view. "At least now Jareth and Sarah won't be alone."

XOXOX

Jareth sat at his desk. His parents would be returning soon. He knew they would be happy he was finally marring. Sighing, he waited for them to arrive. When the High King and Queen arrived, Jareth stood up.

Amorica moved towards her son. "Jareth, what is it?"

"She said yes."

Amorica screamed and wrapped her arms around him. His father only smiled.

Amorica pulled away form Jareth. "We need to celebrate."

Jareth smiled. "Mother, I don't think that is a good idea. Sarah wouldn't like that just yet."

Amorica nodded. "Oh, all right. But we are staying for dinner."

XOXOX

Toby and Sarah walked along the path. They had remained silent since Hoggle's house had gone out of sight. Toby looked up at his sister.

"Sarah, what's going on?"

Sarah stopped. Toby walked a bit in front of her and turned to face her.

"I'm getting married."

Toby smiled. "To Jareth?"

"Yes."

"Yippee. So we are staying here then?"

"Yes, we are staying here, Toby."

"Good."

The two continued to the Castle. As all the goblins celebrated the coming wedding of their king and the girl who remembered.
