As the World Falls Down…again

*sniffles* Well, my readers, here we are, at the last chapter of this story. This part always makes me a little sad. I'll save all my thanks and such until the end, so don't forget to read my notes at the bottom, ok? Oh, and my Twin, Konitsu, told me to tell you to be nice. No throwing things at me. A little late for that, isn't it? And yes, I know Konitsu is in this chapter, and you're not fond of having me in the story. But she really wanted to be in the last chapter, all right? Anyhow, hope you enjoy this final chapter, and remember to review!

Disclaimer: If you haven't figured out by now the Labyrinth isn't mine, it's not even worth it trying to convince you now.

Chapter 13: Of Weddings and Epilogues

Shocked into silence, Becka looked over at William.

"Are you serious?" she asked.

William smiled, getting down on one knee. "Becka, I know we haven't known each other for a long time, but I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you, and I know I always will. Will you marry me?"

"Yes!" cried Becka. William got up, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her.

"All right, all right!" said Destiny, laughing. "There will be plenty of time for that later. We have a double wedding to plan!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A while later, Destiny was looking over sketches of wedding dresses with Sarah and Becka, Becka with her own engagement ring now. It was a gold band, with the stone in the shape of a star. William had told her that she always seemed to shine like a beautiful star that had fallen to Earth.

Rochelle, meanwhile, had left, being taken by Adian to the dimension that Destiny and he lived in, at the house they occupied, along with several other beings.

"Lady Destiny, how do you know so much about dresses?" asked Sarah, still trying to decide between two dresses.

"Call me Emmy." Said Destiny. "And among other things, before I became Destiny I was a seamstress."

Just then, a bright flash of red light appeared, and a being was left in its place. This being was female, about the size of Lady Destiny. She had Forest green hair, cut in a short pixie style, and crimson red eyes. She was dressed similar to Destiny, only her breeches were black, and her jacket-cape was red. She even looked quite a bit like Destiny.

"Hi!" said the being cheerily. "I heard you needed my help planning a wedding, Em, so I came fast as I could. Oh, and hi other people! I'm Konitsu, Emmy's twin sister, and The Lady Fate. You must be Becka, and I know you're Sarah. Adian told me what happened when he brought back Rochelle. I couldn't believe it when I saw her, it was so weird, I…"

"Konitsu, you're babbling again." Interrupted Emmy.

"Oh, sorry." Said Konitsu. But immediately she began to get a gleam in her eyes, and rubbed her hands together. "Anyhow, let's get to work. We have a wedding to plan!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Several months later

While it took quite a lot of work, lots of planning, and, as many thought, a lot of magic from Destiny and Fate, the day of the momentous double wedding came, with just about everyone from the Underground was invited.

"Sarah, stop fidgeting dear, unless you want acupuncture treatment, all right?" said Emmy, as she put the finishing touches on Sarah's dress, sewing up a stray seam.

"I can't help it!" said Sarah. "What if something goes wrong, what if he decides he doesn't want to marry me, what about when he stays young, being Fae and all, and I grown old, and what if…"

"What if the sky turns to fire and your nose falls off?" said Emmy, laughing. "Don't worry, I know for a fact that Jareth is madly in love with you, everything will go fine I'm sure, your aging has slowed down rapidly, from being in the Underground, and you're just experiencing pre-wedding jitters. Answer all your questions?"

"Yeah Sar, it'll be fine." Said Becka, twirling around in her own dress. Sarah dress was styled after the golden gown from Beauty and the Beast, only white, and not quite so poofed out. Becka's, on the other hand, was a plainer gown, with a belt of gold fabric, and a ribbon of gold fabric down the front of the skirt, and some gold fabric around the bodice. (AN: Like Princess Fiona's dress in Shrek)

There was a knock at the door. Emmy opened it slightly, showing an uncomfortable Hoggle in formal attire. "They be ready for ye in 10 minutes."

"Thank you Hoggle." Called Sarah. Shortly after the incident with Markeen and Rochelle, Sarah had finally been able to see her friends, though it had taken a lot of explaining why she hadn't called them, and then a lot of apologizing.

Becka twirled once more, before getting too dizzy. She smiled, and remarked:

"I wonder what's going on with Will and Jareth…"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Jareth and Will at that very moment, were getting dressed, with the help of Konitsu with last minute alterations.

"Now J, stop fidgeting!" she cried, as she sewed up a small tear on his black jacket. "I have a needle and I know how to use it!"

Jareth sighed, straightening the cuffs of his white shirt, and his black vest, and smoothing his black trousers. "Don't call me J."

"Whatever you say, J." said Konitsu, grinning. She looked him over once; making sure everything was in order. She nodded, and went over to Will. Who was dressed similarly to Jareth, only with a black shirt, and his trousers were leather instead of cotton.

"I don't think I need to alter any of your outfit…and where do you think you're going J?"

Jareth, who had been tiptoeing to the door, froze. "I was…well…you see, the thing is…"

Konitsu went and blocked the door, crossing her arms over her chest. "No seeing the bride before the wedding. Don't you know it's bad luck? Now back away from the door, and go wait, before I have to go all Amazon and kick your butt. Got it?"

William laughed. "Now that would be interesting to see."

Jareth sighed again, pacing the floor. He glared at the grinning Konitsu. "Are you sure you and Emmy are related?"

Before Konitsu could hit him with a retort, there was a knock at the door. Konitsu opened it. "If that's you Sarah I will have no choice but to…oh, hi Didymus!"

"They art ready for His Majesty and Lord William, Milady Konitsu." Said Didymus, bowing, looking somewhat comical in formal attire, with Ambrosias wearing a bow tie.

"Thanks Didymus. Come on guys, it's show time!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The music started to play, as Sarah walked down the aisle on the arm of her Father. Yes, though it had taken quite a lot of explaining, her Father and Stepmother finally knew about the Labyrinth. Becka was on the arm of Hades, who had morphed into his human form, as he was as close as a Father to her.

At the end of the aisle, under an arch of flowers, stood Jareth on the left, and William on the right, both opening gazing at their beloved's. Emmy stood in the middle, dressed in a dark emerald green crushed velvet robe-dress, with long sleeves, and which went don all the way to the floor. It was clasped in the middle by the pendant that had been on the jacket-cloak, the silver pendant with the Celtic star and the emerald in the middle. Konitsu, who stood close by, wore the same, only a crimson red, and the jewel of her pendant was a ruby.

The two couples walked up the few stairs to Emmy and Konitsu. Emmy smiled, and began to speak.

"Dearly beloved, we have been gathered here on this most joyous occasion, to witness the joining of these two couples, King Jareth of the Goblin Kingdom, to Sarah of Earth. And of Lord William of Brenhollow to Beckaliya of the Fae Forest. If any can show just cause why these two couples should not be joined together, speak now or forever hold your peace."

Obviously, no one spoke against the union. Thus proceeded the ceremony, with the well-known Earthly vows, and of the golden wedding bands. Then came the best part:

"Do you, King Jareth, take Sarah to be your wife and Queen?"

"I do."

"Do you, Sarah, take Jareth to be your husband, and stand beside him as his Queen?"

"I do."

"Do you, William, take Beckaliya to be your wife?"

"I do."

"Do you, Beckaliya, take William to be your husband?"

"I do."

"Then by the powers vested in me by the Magic, I now pronounce these two couples joined together forever in the bonds of love and marriage. You may kiss your brides."

And a great cheer came up, as the King kissed his Queen, and the Lord kissed his Lady.

Emmy held up her hands for silence.

"It is my honor, to now present to you, King Jareth and Queen Sarah; and Lord William and Lady Becka!"

Another cheer, this one even louder, was heard throughout the Underground.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

There was to be celebrating for days, in joyous celebration of the marriages. But before any of it started, Emmy and Konitsu gave a quiet goodbye to their new friends.

"Must you leave?" asked Becka.

"Yes, we still have much work to do." Said Emmy, back in full Destiny attire, as was Konitsu as the Lady Fate.

"You are welcome here, always." Said Jareth.

"Thank you, your Majesty." Said Emmy.

"Yeah, thanks J!" said Konitsu.

Emmy clasped one of Jareth's hands in both of her own. "May your land prosper, Jareth, and may there be more peace than war, love than hate, health than sickness, and joy than sorrow. Our blessing upon you all."

And the two immortals disappeared in flashes of red and green light.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Epilogue

They never saw Emmy or Konitsu again, but the blessing remained sure. Jareth and Sarah lived quite happily, and had several children, one of which they named Konitsu. As were William and Becka happy, having five children of their own, one named Emerald. It's true, there are no Happy Endings, but there are no Sad Endings either. For nothing ever really ends.

Hey! Don' forget, I said to read my notes at the bottom. I'm not done quite yet. First of all, I want to thank everyone who reviewed. I'm honored that you have enjoyed my story. I've tried to e-mail all I can to personally thank you, but for those I couldn't, Thank you, thank you, and thank you. Wait, that's not all! I have written down ideas for stories I plan to write, please tell me what you think:

Currently un-named J/S story: When she is 18, Sarah's parents die, and Toby is taken away by social services. At the same time, the Goblin King has decided to finally seek revenge on the one who had scorned him.

The Christmas Letter: Toby sends a letter to Santa, asking for a way to make his sister happy, as she seems so sad. Santa reads this letter to his friend Lady Destiny, who takes matters into her own hands. J/S story. (Probably a one-shot, not sure. Will be written closer to the holidays)

Tales from the Underground: A series set before Sarah, mostly. Stories I know and lived growing up in the Underground. About places from the Underground, such as how I became an Amazon, stories of elves, fairies, Fae, etc,. Some may include at least cameos by the Goblin King. Don't know if I'll write these, simply because people seem more interested in J/S stories.

In-depth analysis of (insert character here): I love analyzing characters I read about in Labyrinth fiction. So, if you have a character you want me to write about, you know, getting to the heart of that character, what makes him or her tick, e-mail or IM me. I warn you, I will only accept really well thought out characters, so if I reject doing your character, don't be mad.

Well, that's all from my imagination at the moment. Please tell me what you think. Again, I'd like to thank everyone who read this story. This story is dedicated to each and every one of you. Now, for the last time for this story, say it with me now: Hope you enjoyed it, and remember…
