Slow Burn
Chapter 40: And um... That's it! Sorry...
I am sorry to dissappoint, but as it has been brought to my attention by more than one of my faithful readers, I guess that really is a good place to end the story. And so you will have to wait for the sequel to find out what happens next... The final chapter that I WAS going to post does not really fit into context with the story, anyway. And so, my lovelies, for now... This will have to be the end. I am sorry there is really no chapter here, but Jareth and Sarah are High King and Queen of the Underground. And that is all, for now. I promise to have the sequel up soon though! I just have a couple of more things I have to take care of first, and then I will post it.
I would like to thank you all for sticking with my story to it's completion. I hope you enjoyed the final chapter, that was posted... yesterday. THANK YOU ALL and I hope it was enjoyable, with a fitting ending. Be sure to look for my new stories, they should be up soon!
Fondest wishes, Just to make you happy, here is a preview of the sequel that is to come, just to prove to you that I really am going to do one!

Jareth was getting ready for bed, and Sarah was just returning from the kitchen, after getting herself something to drink. She didn't want the life growing inside her to die of thirst, after all! She saw Kelly, and was curious as to how she'd gotten back to the castle without help.
"What are you doing here?"
"Is that any way to treat a friend?" She stood with her hands on her hips, before the door to her room that Sarah's husband had given her. Both girls giggled.
"Marek brought me back here. I told him I wasn't ready to live with him just yet. I may be experienced, but I am not like my Mom."
Sarah remembered Kelly's Mom. She was not a very good role model, but she was a nice person, at least. She knew where her friend was coming from, all the same. "That's good to know. I mean, you should stick by how you feel. I think it's good you're going through a proper courtship with him and everything."
"Yes, but that still leaves one problem..."
No it didn't! The way Sarah saw it, everything was fixed to perfection. The evil King was dead, they were in their rightful place once again, Penelope had been given her own room just down the hall as well, Marek had been crowned King, and Kelly got her man, so to speak. "What's wrong now?" She whined. Even moving the stars wouldn't have been good enough for this girl. 'Good luck, Marek,' She thought. 'Your'e going to need it!'
"I was just thinking... I'm supposed to go home tomorrow."
"Oh, I completely forgot. But what about you and Marek?"
"Now you see my problem..." Kelly sighed. "But you know what? I don't think I'm going back. I mean, I don't have to, do I?"
"There've been mortals in the Underground before and after you. I don't see why you'd ever have to go back, unless you wanted to visit your family."
Suddenly, Jareth was standing behind them. So, they had an eavesdropper... "Sarah, that reminds me. Don't you miss your family?"
"Yes, I do. It's just Karen that I don't miss."
They all laughed at her statement.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I hope that helps, for now! I can't reveal too much more, and I am really not so good at doing reviews, so please don't judge the sequel by this alone! And like I said, I really hope you are not all mad at me, b/c I will finish this, but chapter 39 was just such a good place to leave off...
