Sarah and the Laws of Queendom

Sequel to Sarah and the Laws of Physics

Author's Disclaimer: Of course, I still do not own Labyrinth, as many times as I have wished to Jareth that I could. In light of that, this work is entirely of my own creation, while the characters all belong to their respective owners. This story is a sequel, as the title points out (and highly recommended that you read that first), all about Sarah overcoming new laws, those of using magic and being the queen. This time, though, she has Jareth by her side throughout, and we can see how they are perfect for one another in their relationship, so expect a little fluff here and there, while I will be doing my best to limit excess description/wordiness. I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1: Wedding Day

At long last, the day had come. After a fierce battle of wits involving all the craziness that taking a physics class can cause, Sarah and Jareth were finally together. Now that Sarah had graduated from college, she was ready to take on a whole new job, that of being Queen of the Goblins.

This had many benefits, such as spending all her time with Jareth, and there were also some formalities to take care of, the main ones being their marriage and her coronation. Thankfully, both would be done in the same day, just not at the same time. Her human family could come to her wedding, but not the magical coronation.

But that didn't bring anyone down, not in the least. After Sarah graduated three days after her last exam, she began her preparations for her big day, and a big day it would be.

Sarah couldn't have been happier Underground. It was as though she was meant to be there, the way it worked. When she woke up, she had her own personal room, decorated personally by Jareth, and other than the gratuitous number of portraits of him, she couldn't complain (there was another portrait being planned for her wedding so that it could hang in the new suite being made for them to share, as was only appropriate). She would have all her meals with Jareth, and then a few hours were spent with Jareth, half in the throne room being with the goblins, and the rest of the time they spent alone talking and wandering throughout the castle. When not with him, Sarah planned the wedding, spent time with her three friends, and got to know the castle and servants.

When the big day finally came, Sarah was quite nervous, but in a good way. She had Karen and her brother nearby. Both were more than willing to help, while her father spent time getting to know Jareth. Her family had been picked up by her and Jareth, and then they were bewitched by Jareth to believe they had flown in Jareth's personal jet to England to have the wedding. While the wedding was rather sudden, Sarah's family could see how happy Sarah was, and how Jareth would take care of her. Toby was excited to no end to come back Underground, as he had only remembered it vaguely. He had already made Sarah promise that he could come any time, much against his parents' wishes for fear of spending all of Jareth's money, not realizing that there was an endless supply as far as they were concerned.

In addition to Sarah's family, Jareth's parents, the High King and Queen, would be making a brief appearance to bless the marriage and proceed over the coronation. All the guests were there to see Sarah at last. Everyone was ready for the big event.

The wedding itself was very simple, excluding the outfits worn by the bride and groom. Toby was ring bearer, three flower-girls came by, and Sarah's father gave her away, looking quite happy about it. Meanwhile, Sarah's look was one of pure joy, the happy, exultant joy that comes when one realizes that you will be spending the rest of eternity with someone who loves you just as much as you do.

On that one magical day, all the world is calm and peaceful as all goes right. Not the least of things to make Sarah happy was her dress, a white silk floral design reminiscent of the jewelry she now wore permanently, one of Jareth's first gifts to her. With flowers and vines all around the ends and hem, and enough glitter to make Jareth proud, Sarah sparkled and glowed more than a star, and it was all for Jareth, the proud groom.

The last few weeks had been torture for poor Jareth. Much as he wanted to reorder time to make it go faster, or better yet, have a private wedding without ceremony within a week, he knew that it was for the best. Sarah would have her big day, and his family would finally be happy that he was married. And he would be happy now that Sarah would be permanently connected to him, legally and magically. When the wedding came, Jareth was still worried that somehow Sarah would disappear, but upon seeing her radiant smile at him as she entered, he entered his state of euphoria. He was also a little relieved that she had incorporated his gifts into her dress, as he had done with his outfit. His was a dark blue and purple combination with vines and even more glitter than Sarah.

Once Sarah made it to the altar, they were married with their own written vows, and with them both repeating that "together we will live, united in love and affection, until the end of time," they then kissed and the ceremony ended. After that, Sarah's parents came first to wish the happy couple the best of luck, saying that they would come visit by Thanksgiving, before they headed off to the "airport". Once they left, Jareth's own parents came, High King Gareth and Queen Clarissa. Gareth was overjoyed for the couple, while Clarissa was more hesitant to congratulate and smile, but gave her blessing, saying that she would be visiting soon to help Sarah.

Soon the rest of the guests came to give their congratulations. Perhaps the warmest well-wishes came from Benedick, King of Trolls, one of the neighboring kingdoms. In the past, the trolls had been very aggressive for more land. For the first few years, so had Benedick, until his army was beaten handily by Jareth and his magic. After that, Benedick treated Jareth well and they were cordial to one another, even if Benedick brown-nosed too much, no doubt waiting for more land for being so nice.

But Jareth knew better, and was not surprised by Benedick's warm greeting of "Oh, my good, good, friend! I am so happy for you! So lucky you are, she's so beautiful and radiant, despite having no magic of her own! I can see you two will get along quite well together." Many others came close to his level of enthusiasm, but never more.

The coronation was an equally simple event, as far as doing things was concerned. Jareth and Sarah walked up to Jareth's parents, Jareth taking Gareth's seat, while Sarah bowed before the High King and Queen, until she was brought up by the parents and then sat down in her official throne, finally brought out of hiding. Sarah then repeated her vows to help, guide, and co-rule with Jareth, while also looking after the well-being of her subjects, using her magic wisely, to the best of her ability. After that, Jareth placed her crown on her head with a huge grin on his face, and she was pronounced Queen of the Goblins.

After the coronation, a grand ball celebrating the day naturally occurred. The High King and Queen left before the ball, with their only gift being that of a black pair of leather gloves for Sarah.

"A proper queen should always keep her hands covered," said Clarissa.

"And they are so useful when you two are alone, too," said Gareth winking rather gleefully. Jareth just shooed his parents away before they said anything else embarrassing.

The ball was a grand success. Sarah and Jareth opened the dancing, dancing for half of the night together. The first dance was a royal waltz, followed by a song similar in nature to the song Sarah and Jareth first danced to in Sarah's peach dream, while the rest of the songs were all waltzes. When not dancing, they chatted with dignitaries who could stay, as well as all the goblins invited. Sarah and Jareth presided together on the throne at the beginning and end of the ball, and when everyone finally left, they made their way to their new bedroom together.

Sarah was nervous for more than one reason. True, she felt inadequate and not good enough for Jareth, but one look at him quieted her fears there. But there was still one more question that had been bugging her since the coronation.

"Jareth, what's going to happen to the kingdom since I don't have any magic of my own? I know you gave me certain powers, but is that the same thing?"

"Nothing is going to happen, Precious One. I did give you certain powers, small as they were. However, the moment you said that vow and I put that crown on your head, some of my magic and the crown's magic was given to you. This way, you can be immortal and co-rule with me as long as I do, as well as guard the kingdom properly. In time, the magic will develop, and then you will learn to harness it."

"Do you really think I'll be good enough?"

"Oh yes, very much so. I have complete faith in you. I think you will be the best and most tolerant ruler this kingdom has seen, but I'm biased. I always thought you were the best."

"At everything?"

"Naturally," he said with a wicked grin.

"You are such a great tease and lover."

"Thank you. So does this mean you believe me, and I win?"

"This time, yes," she said smiling.

"Good. Then let's continue this conversation in the morning so that you can see just how good you are."

And with that, the two made their way to the large bridal bed, to enjoy all the benefits of being a married couple.

Author's Notes: This story is back! So, after a long hiatus from college and other stories that distracted me, I am back to writing this one. I hope to be writing more soon. I have now started two stories, so I will be making every effort to write for both. I hope this satisfies your curiosity from my first story! :-) Look for more soon. Thanks so much for reading!
