This is an alternate universe.
Sarah had lost her bet to Jareth.
In a final attempt to save Toby she agreed to stay,
In the labyrinth,
Forever.
Sarah looked around the labyrinth. She was completely lost; it wasn't fair the labyrinth kept changing! "Oh Sarah, you precious thing it seems that your time is up." He voice broke her concentration and made her body go numb. She had… lost? Clearing her throat she turned to look at him, his face was that of smug satisfaction. "Please…" she whispered softly, "Please I didn't mean it Jareth." She said softly. "What's said is said." His voice never changed but she could see his expression soften ever so much, she looked down a little. "The goblin king had fallen in love with the young princess." Sarah remembered and quickly looked up. "What if I take his place?" she said softly, Jareth didn't speak but she knew she had peaked his interest. She felt her heart flutter angrily in her heart. "Let me take him home, When my parent's get back…" she could feel tears burning at her throat "Then you can you can bring me back here…" she took a deep breath. Jareth smirked lazily, Toby crawling in the dirt at her feet she quickly leaned down and picked him up hugging him tightly. When she went to look up at Jareth she was back in her room, Toby was sucking on the sleeve of his outfit and falling asleep.
After holding Toby for a little while Sarah finally put him down in his bed, she needed to call her mom. She at least could tell her she loved her, picking up the phone she heard it ring a few times before her mom's voice answered the phone. Sarah could tell she had been sleeping now, "Mom…" she said trying to hold back her tears. "Sarah? Honey what's wrong?" her mother yawned, it took a moment before Sarah could speak "Nothing," she said softly "I just wanted to hear your voice…" she said softly. "Sarah honey it's the middle of the night what's the matter?" her mom's voice grew a little more worried with each word. "Mom, I love you." she said, "Sarah? Sarah? Honey tell me what's wrong?" she said. Sarah closed her eyes and hung up the phone.
Sarah buried her face in her hands and sobbed, had she really agreed to stay with Jareth in the Labyrinth? Hearing her father's car pull up she rubbed her eye's to hide that she had been crying and looked up at the front door as her father entered the room. "Sarah? What's wrong your mom called she said you were crying." He said, she looked up and shook her head. "Oh I just got a little frustrated because Toby wouldn't go to bed." She said standing up, "Goodnight dad." She hugged him tightly "I love you." she released and ran up to her room before he could say anything else. Picking up Lancelot off of her shelf she slipped into the room and laid it down next to Toby. "Goodbye… Toby." She said softly.
"So you really are going to go through with it?" Jareth said from the doorway, she could see past him was the labyrinth. "I will keep my word," she said almost, brokenly. He looked at her, "Shall we go then?" his voice was its normal cruel harshness. She stepped over to him and sighed a little he moved from the doorway to let her pass into the Labyrinth for the final time. For she would never leave this place.
