Author's Disclaimer: No, I do not own Labyrinth in any way, shape, or form. I keep wishing, but nothing happens. New Story! See notes below for its inspiration. It's Sarah's bachelorette party before her wedding to Jareth, and it's story time, namely, how did they get together. We start at the beginning, their first meeting and reason for coming together. This story is meant to be from Sarah's POV, so I have edited it slightly. If you see words in bold, then those words are Sarah's personal thoughts, as she tells the story. If words are italicized, then it is a conversation that happened in the past that Sarah is telling. If the words are normal, then it is the conversation between Sarah and the bridal party. I hope you like it!

How To Woo Properly

Chapter 1: Sweet Revenge

"Now, as you all know, I am getting married in a week. Because of that, I am in a very good mood right now, and feeling particularly happy and romantic right now. As a result, if there are any burning questions you lovely ladies wanted to ask me, now is the time to ask. Well, who wants the first one?"

"Sarah, dear, while we know how you met Jareth, we don't know how you started seeing Jareth again. When was it, senior year of college?"

"Yes, it was, Karen. You first met him at my graduation party, though I actually first met him a little before that. Shall I tell you of how Jareth saved me, and together we had sweet revenge on that jerk, Dick Suttons?"

"Yes, do tell us!"

"Very well, it is a sweet story after all."

"Well, as you all know, I had been dating Dick for about two years. Everything was going fine, until he decided that he wanted to take things to the next level, or as he likes to call it: 'Cross another great bridge together'. I, however, was not entirely ready to get hitched right out of college, for various reasons. So, with that in mind, I told him as nicely as possible, and he acted like I had just insulted his mother for no reason! Next thing I know, he is changing the locks on my apartment (he only had the keys after all, not living with me even), sending passive-aggressive texts and voicemails of how we could be very happy together, but since I am stupid and insensitive, we shall forever be apart, or worse."

"Naturally, most of friends believed that I was not the insensitive one in this relationship, but the big problem was that about two weeks after the break-up, we were supposed to go to a party together. Dear Jessie was having her engagement party, cute dear that she is in hosting my party now, and it was all about to be very awkward. Going alone would have been fine, except then I found out, oh! Not only is The Dick coming, but he is bringing his new girlfriend! What nerve! And only three days before the party. At this point, all I want to do is hide in a hole, or go strangle the large neck off of the person who calls himself a gentleman."

"However, I am not a weeping maiden, so I decided to tough it out. And then that resolution lasted about ten seconds before I went into despair. And so, after crying yet again over that jerk of a Dick, I said very quietly, 'I wish I had someone to go with to make a fool of Dick.'"

"It was a simple enough wish, so when I went outside to go for a walk, I was rather surprised when I ran into Jareth, ran being the operative. It was like magic or something! He just seemed to suddenly appear out of a corner! Next thing I know, we are talking, catching up, and he notices how sad I look, so I tell him my problem, and he, being the gentleman that he is, suggests himself. Imagine my surprise! But, if I knew anything, I knew he would do: few can make an entrance like Jareth can."

Oh, I feel so bad that I have to hide this part of the story, but I have no choice, as they will be really confused otherwise. If only it had been outside, but no, that was not Jareth. No sooner had that been said that suddenly, a window opened, winds started to blow, and the lights flickered. The feeling of dread from years ago for my dear stepbrother came back with a start, and then Jareth appeared in all his glory, with flowing cape, dark leather pants, and glitter everywhere, in the middle of my living room, where I was bawling my eyes out.

"Sarah, you look awful. Why do you waste tears on such a horrible person?"

"It's nice to see you again, too, Goblin King."

"So formal are we still, Sarah? Surely, after all this time, you can call me Jareth now. Now, it is about time you broke up with that dolt of an idiot, Dick Sucks, or whoever he is. Really, you can do so much better."

"Glad to know you are still as stalkerish as ever, Jareth. Such a gentleman."

"Always for you, Precious. Now, about that wish. Do you really wish to make him pay for making you miserable and for thinking himself good enough for you? If so, I humbly and readily offer my services."

"I'm sure you do. However, in this case, you are right. I want to make him regret the day he ever dared to make me mad! For even thinking that he is better! I want to make him cry to his 'Dear Mummy' loudly! So, how do you propose to do so?"

"Obviously, I was not in the best of mindsets after so much crying, but it could hardly be helped. I wanted to make him pay, one way or the other. If he really thought someone could replace me so easily, he was about to see that it was not the case, and that I was just as capable, even if all I really wanted was to swear off men for six months. Jareth would do very, very well. Another hour of discussion as to what to wear and act quickly settled my mind enough that I slept quite gleefully for the first time in two weeks without waking up once."

"Come the night of the big event, all was set to go. All that was left was to show everyone just how well I could rally too."

"So, of course Jareth came on time, picked me up, and off we went to Jessie's party. Dick was already there, with his new model, who hung on his every word and muscled, chiseled body. Everyone was disgusted that he came, for no one actually knew what we had planned, so it was a great surprise when I came to the door and announced that I had brought a date."

"Naturally, we made such a cute couple that we had Dick burning several bridges in an effort to avoid the fact that we were ever together, and his girlfriend had the good sense to ogle Jareth long and hard. For the first time in my life, I did not feel bad about staring at those wonderful leather pants of Jareth's and seeing the effect. He was mine, after all."

"After that, it was no contest. Everyone knew I was just doing this to get back at Dick, and it worked great. Dick was gone with his model in less than ten minutes, and everyone really warmed to Jareth, engaging him in conversation and what he thought of the university and of graduating soon. He was in political science, and hence how I had met him since we had both taken Political Science 101 together freshman year. At the end of the night, Jareth had numbers from half the people there, about setting up different events and nights with the boys. And then he walked me home."

"It was a really nice night overall, and so when we got back and had declared the night a success, I thought it would be okay if I let Jareth kiss me. Once again, never underestimate Jareth. Why I let him kiss me when we are arguing, I shall never know. It's bad enough he always gets his way, so when we finally don't agree, naturally he has to get his way by using dirty, underhanded tactics like taking me in his arms, telling me he loves me, and then kissing me until I forget why we were arguing to begin with. Definitely a lost cause, I think."

"But anyways, after that kiss, Jareth asked if I would be willing to see him again. I told him my intention to swear off men for six months, and while he seemed upset, he kept it to himself, saying that he understood. But, in the meantime, should I ever need him; I just had to call."

"That I definitely kept in mind."

And so the girls sighed over how my friendship with Jareth began again.

Author's Notes: Thanks for reading/commenting! Anyway, this story is a continuation/spin-off of another story written by Kyndsie, All's Fair at the County Fair (read it here art/All-s-Fair-at-the-County-Fair-Labyrinth-FF-327 466467 ). She gives some good background, and I really want to fill it in with details and silly things. You should definitely read it if you haven't already! Updates should be coming fairly weekly (biweekly I figure), now that I have had time to plan this whole story out and have a few chapters done. Thanks again for reading!
