Who: Jareth & Sarah
What: Rescue mission of sorts
Where: London
Warnings: Probably none.

Jareth was pleased to find that he was still at least endowed with his own powers, and with one thought, one simple breath of his name, he was at Sarah's side. Well, so to speak.
In fact, he was standing before her, dark and shadowed, wearing very modern attire, though still with the amulet and the slight fanciful look about him.
"Now we're both lost." He said with a smug smile. "And lost is something I've never been before."

Despite the fact that he had just been doing magic, the sudden change in dress and location was enough to make her gasp. She glanced down at her gown and then back up at him and smiled. "Very impressive.." she told him, putting her other hand up on his shoulder and let him take the lead.

She moved with him, not forgetting in the slightest how it was to dance with him so effortlessly, like they weren't even on the floor at all. "You are something.." she whispered.

His movements were easy and graceful and he spoke softly, almost in tune and time with the music. "Never near as wondrous as you have always been."

As they danced, the ballroom floor started to be filled with dancing forms, with familiar stranger's faces, and they moved in syncopation with Jareth and Sarah.

"Remember yourself, the girl you once were,
The gilded delights that drew you here,
Your mind created it all, my dear.

Simple childhood toys you've left behind,
But that world is still within your mind,
Your friends are forever waiting behind.

But never forget the fantasy,
The Underground, your destiny,
What fates exist drew you back to me,
And our reality can begin."

Her cheeks blushed, and she danced along with him to the music. The song she definitely remembered, and the faces too. She wondered briefly if she were actually dreaming, imagining or if it was all real. Probably all three if she were to ask.

She twirled along with him, stepping a bit closer. And for a while, she felt actually like she was a princess. Or at least like she was 15 again. She leaned in and whispered "Thank you" into his ear.

That was the one thing he hadn't expected to hear from Sarah. The ballroom shivered and faded away, breaking like a bubble, and they were back to reality. Their clothes stayed the same, the gown and the suit, and he slid his arm around her waist, holding her close, "Ah, Sarah." He murmured, "That gift is the greatest you've given me so far tonight."

The house was definitely different once it was noticed again. The woodwork had the same filigree that the banister started out with, all the hanging lamps were more accented, more fantastical, one was even a chandelier. The rugs were plush and crimson with labyrinth patterns on them, the chairs and sofas were overstuffed and comfortable and threaded through with silver. The knick-knacks had gone from bland, boring vases and modern art to busts of Goddesses and gargoyles. The walls were deeply colored and warm and inviting, and the whole place gleamed.

"That's much better." Said Jareth.

With the world back the way it was, and her pulled closer to him, she didn't smile, she just reached up and put her hand on his cheek. It was her own way of saying you're welcome. She didn't seem to mind being in the same dress, or the fact that the house was changed again. "Oh.. that's much better you're right," she agreed with a nod.

She hadn't moved away from her yet but her head to look at everything that had been left behind. "Maybe you've replaced an interior designer.." that would be something.

	"A what?" His tone was bemused, and he slid his hand slightly up her back, as he leaned into her touch. Sarah was so warm, he could feel her breath, smell her hair, truly experience something for once. "Amazing, what a little switch can do," his lips pressed against her cheek, and he whispered, "Sarah." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"An interior disease," she said with a laugh. "Someone who decorates the inside of people's homes for a living. Since most people have really bad taste.. or the house is almost ugly from when they buy it." her hand hadn't moved from his cheek, her thumb caressing his cheek a little.

Her eyes glanced around again briefly, "It's amazing.. you're amazing.. Jareth.." she smiled up at him.

With another warm, biting chuckle to the first, before he turned his head to press the slightest kiss to her palm, before he looked her in the eyes.

"It's yours, Sarah. I was only the tool with which you created it." He was only half-lying. It was for her that he'd done it, and if she found it at all gaudy or unpleasant, it would be changed.

"I only ever did what you willed." He said, head tilted just slightly as he traced one finger down her jawline to her chin, pressing up a bit, "And old habits..."

Warmth spread up through her cheeks as he kissed her hand. This was definitely weird relationship that they had. "Careful.. who knows what I'm going to do with that kind of power if you're going to give me whatever I want.." she was half teasing. Mostly because she knew he'd be a pain in the arse about it.

"Yes.. old habits.. are apparently very hard to break, even if it's been more then 15 years since you've done them last.." she said with her chin tilted up and she licked her lips. "Are you happy?"

	Jareth nodded, just slightly, moving in, whispering softly as his lips were just a half an inch from hers, "I am. I've never been so lost, anxious and nervous, but I've never been so happy." His eyes closed slowly, and the arm around her waist tightened just slightly. He was anticipating that she wouldn't be stubborn and make him steal a kiss. He wasn't a thief.

	"Good, I want you to be happy.." she told him, and realized that her heart was pounding just a bit. She could hear it in her ears. Sarah swallowed and looked up at him, and finally she moved in. She brushed her lips gently against his, not sure how much of a kiss he wanted, but she didn't seem to be moving even after a moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Like a long lost lover would say their first sweet hellos, his kiss was soft, unobtrusive, light. But perfectly sensual. There was a moment before he drew away, letting out a small sigh of breath.

"You've succeeded in making me that." He murmured, "But if you aren't happy, yourself, then what really is the point." It wasn't exactly a question, not the way he said it. "Are you happy, Sarah?"

She couldn't help but smile brightly at him, "I am now.. I'm definitely happy now.." though compared to when was subjective, but really who cared when she was happy in this moment. Being here with him made her happy.

Licking her lips, she took his hand, "Then we're both happy together.. which is the best way to be, I think.. maybe this place will be good for us both.."

	"Just this side of reality for you, and just enough magic for me to feel at home. We finally found a middle ground." Jareth's eyes searched her face, "And you're impossibly more beautiful than I ever thought you'd be." He slipped away slightly. "Show me reality then. You said something about movies?"

This time she blushed even more then she had before, "Really?" not that she was vain or thought she was homely, but she supposed she never thought about it. "Thank you.." she looked down for a moment, trying not to feel flustered.

"Oh right, movies.. yes.. do you want to watch one here, or would you like to go to a theater.. where you sit in a room with other people and eat popcorn and watch it on a very big screen.. up to you.." she grinned a bit.

	He wasn't entirely prepared to be out with so many others around. "I'm a homebody by design. Let's stay here. Your choice of movies, though... If it is boring, I will insist we find something more interesting to do, I detest being bored." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'll try to keep your attention, don't worry.." she lead the way over to the living room where the tv was and the dvd player. There was already a bunch of movies. She picked out something she thought he'd find amusing, or fun and then put it in. "We could make popcorn here.. well.. if we have any.. we might.." she didn't know. "You have to have snacks when you're watching movies."

The king took a sprawling seat in a chair, out of his outfit, and back into the outfit he'd been in when he showed up. "Would you prefer your own clothes?" He said with a small smile and leaned against the armrest, looking all too much like an oversized cat. He watched her every move, as she started up the movie. He kept one hand occupied with four orbs, while he propped up his head with the other.

	"Oh.." she looked down at herself, "Yes please.. I think this is a bit too formal for watching a movie.. I can barely move. Or breathe." hence her not wearing dresses all that much. She waited patiently for him to turn her clothes back the way they were so that she could go out to the kitchen and get some popcorn or whatever else she could think of.

He didn't even have to move or breathe or even think, and her clothes were back to what they once had been as well. Jareth smirked, "I believe the purpose of beauty is to be as uncomfortable as possible. Shame. Next time, I'll think up something less drastic."

He plucked one of the four orbs up and set it into the air and it blew around at will, landing on the top of the television, where it popped and became a trailing tangled twist of ivy in a shallow pot.

Good, much better. "That's very true.. I have no idea how any woman can stand in high heels, and I'm never going to find out.." she called out from the kitchen while she made the popcorn. She came back out in a moment or two with the bowl of popcorn and something to drink and set it on the table in front of them before sitting down beside him. "Well let's hope this one doesn't bore you to tears.. it's supposed to be scary.. and funny."
