A/N: Well . . . I got inspired to do another FanFiction . . . this one, however being set in the story of Labyrinth.

BlueMouse: That's right! Except it's sort of a next generation fic. Sorta.

Kara: Well it's definitely a Jareth/Sarah story and an OC/OC fic. We won't say how Jareth and Sarah got together since this is more focused around their son . . . with little blurbs of Jareth/Sarah every now and then.

Chibi: So without further ado, I present to you The Labyrinth – Rebeaten! I don't own anything from the awesomeness movie Labyrinth so don't sue me.

Chapter 1: A wish

A girl, age 16, ran across a creek, using the protruding stones like a bridge to get to the rather peaceful scene on the other side. A weeping willow was hiding a stone bench and it seemed like a good place to get away from the world. A warm breeze blew softly on that sunny summer day, giving sweet relief from the heat. The girl wore a forest green skirt that ended right around her knees to give her a wider range of motion. Her shirt was a sky blue with short sleeves and three buttons, two of which were undone because of the aforementioned heat. Her shoes where what she liked to call tennis, but they were actually formed for running. But they were comfortable. And that's what she liked. Comfort. Her hair, which, if left loose, fell to a little bit past her shoulders and was slightly curly, though most would call it straight, was pulled up into a ponytail to keep the hairs from sticking to the back of her neck with sweat. Her vibrant green eyes concentrated on her footing so that she wouldn't slip and fall into the creek. As soon as she crossed over it, she parted the branches of the willow tree to rest in the shade and read her book in peace.

Kailee flopped onto the stone bench with a sigh as the little red book that she held opened up to her marked page. However, she didn't look at it. "It's hot . . ." she complained and then looked down to her book and started reading it aloud. "Through dangers untold, and hardships unnumbered . . . I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the goblin city . . ." she then slammed the book shut. "How cheesy!" she whined, her lower lip jutting out in a small pout. She then sighed. Admit it . . . you like cheesy lines . . . the brown haired girl sighed. Her little inner voice was almost always right . . . except when it told her to do bad things . . . then it was wrong and her conscience stepped in. Of course . . . there was always that burst of temper that silenced her conscience for a few seconds . . . She opened the book and continued reading to herself, though she had the lines practically memorized.

"To take back the child that you have stolen . . ." she shut the book again. "Well he didn't really steal it now did he? She's the one who wished it away." Kailee sighed as she leaned against the back of the cool stone bench. "I love how I'm just talking to myself for no particular reason whatsoever . . ." ((A/N: I actually do this! XD)) Then, she heard something that caused her to sit up straight and then jump up and run for home. A clock was tolling . . . It was seven o'clock . . . and she was late . . .

When Kailee finally got home, it was pouring rain. She let out a frustrated yell. "Oh I hate this! It's not supposed to rain in summer!" she screamed into the dark sky.

"Well it is! So get in here before you catch a cold!" her mother yelled at her from the safety of the porch. Kailee ran over to the relatively dry porch that was mostly sheltered by an overhang. She sighed.

"I'm sorry mom . . . I just . . . I lost track of time and I didn't realize-"

"Yes, yes, you and your books . . . Well get in and get out of those wet clothes!" Kailee's mother said as she gently pushed her daughter into the house. "Go on!" she said impatiently. "You're father and I have an important business meeting to go to and we don't want to be late!"

"He's not my father . . ." Kailee murmured under her breath angrily. Her parents had been separated for the past few years, but just recently, they had been trying to get back together. However, it had taken a toll on Kailee as she suddenly felt very distant from the man who helped bring her into this world. A man whom she wasn't sure she wanted to let back into her life . . .

Fortunately, her mother didn't hear her so she was allowed to escape up into her room unnoticed. However, in her room was . . .

"LIZZIE!! GET OUT OF MY THINGS!!!"

Kailee's year and a half old sibling was currently chewing on one of Kailee's beloved books. "LIZZIE! STOP IT! YOU'LL RUIN IT!!" she yelled at her younger sister who promptly started to cry as her teething toy, a.k.a. the book, was taken away from her. "Oh shut up you horrible little monster!" Kailee yelled at the young girl.

Kailee's mother entered in then. "Kailee! Don't say such awful things to your sister!"

"But mom! She was chewing on my book!!" Kailee complained. "It'll get all out of shape now and it won't ever have nice straight pages again!"

"I don't care! You don't say such awful things to Lizzie!" Kailee's mother then went over to her youngest daughter and picked her up, shhing her. "Kailee, I hope you will take care of your sister tonight . . . You do know how much I'm counting on you . . ." she said with a small frown as she left the room, Lizzie still bawling her eyes out.

Kailee huffed and fell back on her bed. "I hate this life." she murmured unhappily. And I long for one like the heroines in my books . . . full of magic . . . and adventure . . . and love . . . She sighed as she rolled over and buried her head into the pillow. But no, I'm doomed to a life of hopeless romanticism and unfulfilled dreams . . . she thought sadly. She then sat up slightly when she heard a knock on her door.

"Kailee . . . your father's here . . . I'm going to go now . . . dinner is on the stove . . ." she said, her voice filled with concern.

Kailee sighed and fell back onto her bed. "Fine . . . go have fun." she said unhappily, wanting her mother to come in and comfort her . . . but no such luck . . . She heard the front door close and sighed. She picked up one of her many books and started reading, but as if she wanted to annoy her sibling, Lizzie's cries could be heard from the other room.

Kailee let out a scream in frustration as she threw down the book, no longer able to concentrate on the words as she stormed into her sister's room. "WILL YOU SHUT UP YOU HORRIBLE LITTLE PEST?!" she screamed, stamping her foot.

Lizzie's only response was to keep crying.

Kailee scowled and went over to the crib and crouched down by it. "I swear I'm gonna wish you away to the goblins if you don't shut up! Just like in the story I'll wish you away!" she threatened.

Lizzie continued to cry.

Kailee's heart softened and she sighed as she reached in and picked up her little sister, trying to calm her down. "I won't say it . . . I'm too afraid to . . ." she murmured as Lizzie's cries actually escalated in volume, causing Kailee's temper to snap.

"Oh just stop it Lizzie!" she said angrily as she placed her sister back in her bed and tucked her in, only to have more cries as her thanks.

"You know, I really should wish the goblins would come and take you away right now . . ." she said and then turned, heading out the door as she turned off the light. "It'd sure make things a lot easier on me . . ." she murmured and then froze when Lizzie's crying suddenly stopped. "L-Lizzie . . .?"

In the castle beyond the Goblin city, a young prince whose age already surpassed any mortal's, sat on his throne, a bit of a smirk on his face as he listened to the words of the infuriated mortal girl.

"You know, I really should wish the goblins would come and take you away right now . . ."

The 1,700 year old Goblin Prince Silias leaned back on his throne. "Well . . . it's not the exact wording . . . but she did say 'I wish the goblins would come and take you away right now' in the same sentence . . ." he said and then, with a wave of his hand, he disappeared in a swirl of glitter to collect the babe.
