The sun was breaking through the cracks of the blind through the bedroom window. Joker and Sarah were asleep. Joker was holding Sarah from behind and his arms around her waist. She was asleep holding the Arthur doll and holding one of Joker's hand.

Joker slowly opened his eyes and yawned sleepily. He remembered then that last night he'd asked Sarah to be his girlfriend and she'd said yes. He then smiled, feeling happy all over again. He then kissed her cheek while sliding his hand on her arm up and down. He nuzzled his nose against her neck and smiled Sarah giggled in her sleep feeling him.

"You're so cute when you giggle," he whispered.

She blushed and moaned softly as he kissed her neck.

He smiled as he kissed up and around her ear. He then kissed her cheek and the corner of her mouth. She moaned softly in her sleep. Joker then grope her breast gently making her moan in her sleep. He chuckled softly to himself, enjoying the way she obviously liked his touches. She moaned more and then he slide his hand down to her belly and gripped on her between her legs. She was unaware what was going on, but it made her moan. he kissed down her neck again and gently sucked on the skin, leaving a small hickey as he rubbed between her legs with his hand.

Sarah moaned more. Suddenly she opened her eyes seeing his hand under her pajama bottoms and then she screamed and jumped. "What are you doing!?"

"Touching you, intimately. You're my girlfriend, I thought it would be okay. You liked it," he explained.

"....I-I'm not...I'm not ready...," she looked down sadly.

"Alright, Kitten. That's fine. I won't rush you. I'm sorry. I misunderstood. Just because you liked it doesn't mean you're ready, I understand."

"....I mean...I did...I was dreaming it was you..."

He then smiled, "well I'm glad you saw me in your dreams," he then kissed her forehead, "I want to wait until you're ready."

She blushed and hugged him, "thank you."

He hugged her back tightly and kissed her cheek, "no problem, Kitten."

She giggles and then her phone rang for it was her mom Catherine, "hi mom," she answered.

"Hello sweetheart," Catherine said "how are you? Your father and I were wondering if you were free this afternoon?"

"Oh yes. Definitely and I like you to meet someone. And possibly his parents, but you guys know his parents," she giggled.

"Oh really?" Catherine said excitedly, "in that case I reallly cannot wait to see you and your friend very soon."

"You will love him, mom, he is a gentleman and very sweet."

"That's wonderful, honey. He sounds absolutely perfect!"

"He also said last night he can't wait to meet you also."

"Sarah, I'm so glad! I'm too excited!" Catherine squealed happily, "he sounds perfect enough to meet your father's standards!"

"I hope dad likes him. Uncle Bruce doesn't sadly."

"Oh that's such a pity. Still, your uncle Bruce isn't your father at least."

"True, where would you guys like to meet?"

"We could meet up at the diner?"

"Alright, we might be a little late, but his parents should be there to meet you."

"Perfect! Tell him I can't wait to meet him. See you soon sweetheart."

"Love you." She then hung up, "you should call your folks," she smiled at Joker.

He nodded and took out his phone to call his father.

Mr Gold answered his phone not knowing it was Arthur, "hello, Mr Gold here."

"Dad, it's Jo— Arthur. We're arranging to meet Sarah's folks this afternoon at the diner."

"Oh are you inviting me and Belle?"

"Yeah. Would you come?"

"We would love to, we haven't seen them for a long time."

"yeah well it's kind of a big moment for me. Because I'll be meeting them as.....her boyfriend."

"Did I hear they are together," Belle said. She grabbed the phone, "you said you are Sarah's boyfriend?" She then squealed happily.

Joker laughed softly, "yeah mom, I made it all official and finally asked her."

Belle squealed.

"Belle, calm down," Mr Gold chuckled.

"I'm glad I made you so happy, mom. And dad, I'm going to do things right. I won't follow around before we're married."

"Follow? You mean fool?" Mr Gold laughed.

"Oh yeah, that's what I meant. Sorry," he chuckled nervously, "my nerves are a little all over the place. Dad.... did you ever read about my....my victims. Before you knew I was your son."

"....yes I have. Especially this Randall Smythe fella, I dispise him the most. I'm sorry for what he did to you, son."

"......he's back, dad. He showed up at Sarah's place last night and it's the second time he's bothered her. Could some kind of black magic be responsible?"

"I heard some professor here in the Asylum. They say he is mad because he likes to bring people in life made dolls."

Joker shivered, "maybe he's behind it. Because it's definitely him dad. And now he's stalking Sarah because he hates me for what I did."

"Well, just make sure he isn't around. I will do the same."

"Okay dad. Thanks for that."

"...anyways...are we meeting together somewhere?"

"Yes, at the diner in town."

"Alright we will be there."

After he hung up, Joker looked up at Sarah and pulled her into a hug as he teared up.

"....sorry, Sarah. I'm feeling a bit emotional. I don't know why."

"...is it about Randall or meeting my folks with your parents?"

"...both...I think," Joker replied. He hugged her tightly and took deep breaths to calm his nerves, "I'll be alright, thanks honey."

" of course..I love you," Sarah then held his face and caressed his painted face. She rested her forehead and nose against his. "No matter what, Jo, I'm always here for you. Even if I'm not Alien Phantom at the moment." She then kissed his nose.

Joker smiled holding her hands. She was so sweet to him. That's what Joker/Arthur loved about her. He then smirked, pushing her on her back and tickled her. She giggled as tried to stop him.

"No, Jo! S-stop." Sarah laughed.

Joker chuckled at her and then kissed her cheek once he stopped. 

She blushed at him and Joker leaned in and kissed her forehead.

"We probably should get ready for the day, Jo~"

"Maybe...maybe not yet." He kissed around her neck.

"Jo!" Sarah giggled.

Later, Caleb and Catherine came to the diner. They didn't see Sarah anywhere, so they were about to pick a spot, but then noticed Gold and Belle.

Belle saw them and smiled. She ran to Catherine and hugged her, "oh my goodness it's been so long, how are you and Caleb?"

"Oh my gosh, we're great. It's been forever. What are you doing here?" Catherine smiled.

"Well...funny thing, we're the parents of Sarah's boyfriend." Mr Gold said.

Caleb frowned, "oh dear lord, don't tell me it's Rudy again!"

Belle looked confused.

"I can reassure you, Mr Tennyson, it's not," Mr Gold reassured him. "Besides, Rudy was never my son to began with. I was just good friends with his mother."

"Well is it Balefire?" Caleb asked, raising a brow.

"No," Belle smiled, holding her giggles.

"...well who else could it be?" Catherine asked, "isn't Bale your only son, Mr Gold?"

"That's what we thought, but after the curse, we found out we had a son...just before the curse...his name is Arthur."

"I named him after King Arthur," Belle smiled.

Caleb was making a face as if he wasn't liking this. Mr Gold understood.

"How about we sit down under hey come?" Catherine suggested.

They all agreed and sat in a big enough booth for six people and just talked for a bit.

The reason why Arthur and Sarah be late it because they need some things at the store. So they just got them put them away and got ready. Sarah put something nice and comfortable to wear, and Arthur was putting on his red wine vest his button up white shirt, and his pants that matched his vest. He combed his hair back trying to look nice, but looked so nervous. Sarah then came in and fixed his hair, "jut relax, honey. You will be fine," she kissed his cheek once she finished.

Arthur forced a tight smile, "I'll keep telling myself that. Not sure I'll believe it though. I heard what your dad said about clowns. He isn't going to like me."

"That's just because of The Joker and Rudy." She smiled, "I know not all clowns are villains, only those two, John Wayne Gacey...and those weirdos back during the clown sightings. But I fell for you and only you," she smiled straightening his vest and taking the wrinkles out of his sleeves.

"So you don't have a thing for clowns? I'd understand if you do. It's actually quite common actually," he chuckled, then his face fell, "I am a villain though. Maybe not as bad as the others, but I'm still involved in crime. If you love me I know you'll accept that. But your folks never will and I don't blame them."

Sarah smiled. She held his face and kissed his nose, "I don't know if I do or not. But you are definitely my second d boyfriend that is a clown." She giggles.

Soon they arrive to the diner. Arthur was so nervous that he turned to leave, but her mom and his mom saw them.

"Archie!" Belle squealed.

Arthur sighed and turned around nervously.

"Hey, mom," he ducked his head nervously as they made their way over to the booth, "dad...," Arthur smiled at Gold. He then looked nervously at Catherine and held out his hand, "Mrs Tennyson, it's a pleasure to meet you," he took her hand and gently shook it.

"Sarah, you're right, he is a gentleman." Catherine smiled, "it's good to meet you too, Arthur."

"Just like his father," Belle smiled.

"Belle, please," Mr Gold shook his head, blushing.

Caleb then reached over and gripped Arthur's hand, "and I'm Mr Tennyson, Sarah's father," he shook his hand very firmly.

"It's also a pleasure to meet you too, sir."

"Awe, Caleb...he called you sir" Catherine giggled.

"Gold did too when we first met." Caleb nodded, not caring. "So what does your son do?"

"He's an entertainer," Mr Gold replied and Caleb widened his eyes.

"He doesn't mean like a strip club, dad!" Sarah giggled, "he entertains children for their birthdays and stuff."

"....and sick kids" Arthur added, hoping to sound nice "I visit them in hospital to try and cheer them up"

"That's so sweet" Catherine smiled

"So how do you entertain them exactly?"

Arthur blushed "I...dance and sing....and do magic tricks and stuff."

Sarah nodded.

"How you guys meet?"

"Funny thing...I met him here," Sarah lied. "It was after his shift and we both very shy, you know me, dad, and one of my coworkers Jules got us to talk. He is so sweet."

"How did you know he is Mr Gold and Belle's son?" Caleb asked easing a brow like before.

"....just...once we got talking. Not many people have the name Rumpelstiltskin" Arthur lied also, feeling himself begin to sweat.

What if Caleb sensed he was lying?

"Well also told Sarah that's why we moved here because we sensed he was here," Mr Gold added.

"That's so wonderful," Catherine smiled warmly at them both, "I'm so thrilled that you sensed your son was here and you were right."

"And I'm thankful they came here to find me" Arthur smiled at his parents "it's one of the most amazing things to ever happen to me."

Sarah smiled hugging his arm, "and I'm happy I met him. He's the best thing that has ever happened to me."

"That's what you said about Rudy," Caleb frowned.

"Well, I was blind dad, I was young, dumb and naive. But with Arthur I know it's real love."

"You also said it was real love with Rudy," Caleb said still frowning.

"Caleb," Catherine frowned slightly, "Sarah's right, she was very naive and young. Besides Arthur is nothing like Rudy."

"No of course not, he wouldn't hurt my family, or control me like Rudy did." Sarah smiled, "would you, Mr Handsome~~~?" She asked him playfully.

Arthur turned a deep shade of red "u-uh no, of course not"

Caleb rolled his eyes, "handsome? Well they do say love is blind," he then laughed.

Catherine frowned and nudged him.

"I'm not being serious. Gold knows I mean nothing by it."

"...are you implying my son is ugly?" Mr Gold frowned.

"No, not ugly. Maybe just a little plain. I'm only joking around though, Gold. And to be fair, Sarah is beautiful and a lot younger looking."

"He's just 10 years older." Sarah frowned, "dad I know you're being protective, and that's what dads do, but Arthur is an amazing guy and I love him." Sarah then kissed Arthur's cheek.

"No, Sarah, this isn't just about "and that's what dads do" because most fathers don't have to go through the hell I've gone through knowing how you've been....hurt....," he looked down.

Arthur realized what he meant and then felt bad for him, but he kept quiet as Catherine placed her hand on her husband's arm to comfort him.

"What?!" Caleb jumped up, looking worried, "did you tell the police?"

"Sarah honey, when did this happen?" Catherine asked.

"...the other night, Arthur was spending the night because I felt unsafe. And he found the camera hiding behind my dresser...he tried to call Uncle Bruce but instead he just yelled and accused him of rape. Arthur was going to sleep on the couch. He knows some friends that are kinda part of the law and they took us to Gold and Belle..."

"That does it, we're going to the police station right now, young lady," Caleb said, grabbing his car keys.

Sarah looked down tearing up, she felt she messed up again.

"Caleb wait," catneine stopped him, "let's not make today about....that monster. We should try to be making new memories not focusing on the past."

Caleb sighed, "I just want her to be safe," he choked.

Sarah got up and went to hug her father, "it's ok, dad. Really."

He hugged her back crying.

Arthur felt awkward and looked away. He was sure Caleb would feel embarrassed later for crying in front of him during their first meeting.

"Perhaps we should go, Rumpel," Belle whispered to Gold, "let them have their privacy as a family."

They then left, but Arthur didn't want to leave. Instead he stayed in the truck waiting for Sarah.

She finally came out after saying goodbye to her folks. She then got in the truck. "....I'm sorry about today. I shouldn't've said about the other other night. I just wanted him to know you're nothing like Rudy."

Arthur smiled and gently squeezed her hand, "you don't have to apologize. I understand why you mentioned it. Thank you for trying. I'm sorry your father got upset."

"...he's just...he just wants me to be safe now because I told him. Which I thank you for helping me to tell them."

"Of course. And I get it. I'd be the same if I were in his shoes. It must've been very hard for him," he hugged her comfortingly.

She hugged him back biting her face on his shoulder, "thank you though...for staying. I know it was hard. My dad said to tell you to keep me safe. And he says he is sorry if he made you uncomfortable."

"He only made me feel a little bit uncomfortable," he chuckled softly, "and of course I'll keep you safe. You don't have to thank me. I wanted to stay and make sure you were okay."

She smiled and kissed his cheek.

Arthur drove to the Krusty Krab since they probably to grab something and see her friends. This would be also his first time to meet a special star.

"Hey, you two," SpongeBob smiled, "nice to see you again...," he stopped and saw Sarah and Arthur holding hands, "AWWWWEEEEE," his eyes widened and were puppy eyes of joy.

"I know we weren't a couple before but we are now," Arthur chuckled "so I know, it's probably adorable to you."

"Yes, I dreamt this would come true, and it has. Did ya hear, Squidward!?"

"Whatever...congratulations." Squidward emotionless and not looking up from his book.

"Did I hear Sarah has a boyfriend now!? No, I'm too late!" A pink starfish came running in and dropped to his knees infront of Sarah, Arthur and SpongeBob. He then broke down in agony.

"Patrick, we have through this, you had a crush on her since she was 12 when we first met her. And now that we are adults, it's best your with Mindy." SpongeBob giggled.

"Mindy!? Is she here!? I'm not crushing on Sarah! I swear!" Patrick screamed.

"Oh, Artie, this is Patrick, Patrick, this is Arthur." Sarah blushed.

"Oh, hey" Arthur nodded hello to the manic starfish, "so we have something in common then. We both have crushes on Sarah. I mean, she is perfect, so I'm not mad at you for it," he smiled.

Patrick sneered at him, "yes....exactly. What do you have that I don't have!? Spill it buster!"

"Patrick!" SpongeBob gasped, "sorry he gets jealous and protective of Sarah. He is even jealous of Mr Gold."

"That's okay" Arthur chuckled. He then leaned in towards Patrick and said "you'd have to ask Sarah what I have. I'm afraid I just don't understand what she sees in me either."

Patrick sneered at him, "is it his good looks?"

"He's human," Sarah frowned, but giggled.

"I can be human!"

"Oh this I got to see," Squidward smirked dropping his book.

"I will, because...it's true love!" Patrick then tightened himself.

"Uh, Patrick, you might hurt yourself." SpongeBob said.

Suddenly Patrick went too hard and farted. "Oh that was just gas."

"Ewe!" Sarah frowned.

"Well I guess it goes in my favor that I'm not a very gassy person," Arthur smirked.

Patrick frowned and crossed his arms pouting, "Who are your parents I like to speak to them," Patrick frowned.

"Patrick, knock it off," Sarah sighed. Then she smirked, "besides, Mindy is here."

"Mindy!" Patrick looked around while SpongeBob gave their food to go.

They then walked out.

"Sorry about him. He is such a simp over me since I was a kid. But he truly is inlove with Princess Mindy. She is a friend of mine and cousins with an old friend of mine."
