What am I supposed to do with a Goblin Babe!?!
(A sequel to the sequel of the sequel of "What am I supposed to do in Thirteen
Hours!?!")
******
Disclaimer - I do not own Labyrinth, or The Man who Fell to Earth, or Satan... Just
wanted to make that clear. Although I did beat Satan at Pontoon once, which was
pretty risky seeing as my soul could have been in jeopardy there.

A/N - Hi everyone! It's me again....hey come back!!! sheesh!! Anyway I was going to
end it all on the last story but the Clover the Sea-Beast gave me a few ideas and sadly
my bloody, spaced out brain couldn't leave it alone. This has become a bit like "The
Hitchhikers Guide" now because I intended the stories to make up a trilogy which now
has a fourth part! Bugger it! This story is set one year after the last one, by the way.
I'd also like to announce that my new baby cousin has finally been given a name after
six agonising weeks. So please say hello to Rapheal Ku-rin-gai Gordon. No, I'm not
kidding. That really is his name.

Chapter 1 - Prologue : Who gets custody of the alien?
******
"Finished!" I said happily as I sent off the final chapter. "That was certainly an epic
tale." I walked into my living room and was about to enjoy a quite evening with the
Simpsons when a strange purple light shone through my window.
"That's rather weird!" I said. "It can't the neighbours, and no one ever drives past
here." At first I was rather worried because there were rumours of the area being
haunted. Headless horsemen and whatnot. Finally I plucked up the courage and
opened the front door. There, on my front lawn stood a small, glowing space ship. The
door slid open dramatically and a tall skinny, figure stepped out. It couldn't be! Could
it? My question was answered for me when the creature on board lost it's footing and
fell flat on its face in the grass.
"Good God! Are you OK?" I said.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. I just tripped." Said the creature. Hang on a minute. I could've
recognised that light cockney twang anywhere. The figure got to its feet.
"Greeting Earthling. As you may well have guessed, it is I, Hilarity Freak."
"But, you're just a fictional character! I made you up!"
"I know. This is just an MSG induced dream caused by that Chinese you had last
night."
"Oh. What do you want?"
"I have come to tell you that you're story is far from over. Trin and I did return to the
Labyrinth for another adventure some time later."
"What happened?"
"You'll know, when you wake up." said the alien and I suddenly woke up on my sofa
with a half eaten Chinese on the coffee table.
"Gotta get writing!" I cried as it all became clear to me.

Hilarity sat at her kitchen table nursing a cup of tea. It really hadn't been the best the
best night last night. In fact it had been quite nightmarish. She had thrown her
boyfriend, Danny, out of the apartment. She had been meaning to brake up with him
for some time. The last year had been quite turbulent but she hadn't been able to sum
up the nerve to end it until the night before. Her pet alien Thomas Jerome Newton
mooched into the kitchen and rested his head in her lap with a soulful expression.
"I know, kiddo. Danny's not here today so I'll have to take you for walkies." she was
about to put her coat on when her hologram phone started beeping. If it was who she
thought it was then she wasn't going to answer it. However, Trin's number appeared
on the tiny screen and she breathed a sigh of relief. "Hi Trin."
"I heard." he said ominously.
"Oh, wooptidoo!" she said sarcastically "Doesn't news travel fast."
"Hey, hey! Don't take this thing out on me. Well actually you can take this out on me
because I told your mum."
"What!!"
"Sorry. It just slipped out and I wanted to warn you that she's coming over today."
"Oh Crap! She's going to be all : "Why can't you ever keep a man? Danny was good
for you...blah blah blah!" What do I do!" she cried.
"I dunno. Move house." suggested Trin.
"I want you to get over here NOW!!!"
"But!"
"No buts! If I'm going down I'm taking you with me!"
******
A few hours later a middle aged woman who looked a bit like Hilarity entered the
building. She looked at her daughter and held out her arms.
"Darling!" she cried and gave Hilarity a hug. "Trin told me all about it, you poor thing.
Why didn't you call me?"
"Sorry mum. I just wanted some time to myself."
"Yes, yes of course, dear." her mother sighed "Oh! I was really hoping this one would
work out for you. Danny was good for you even if his family is a little bit eccentric."
"Mum, he wanted me to choose between him and my friends! I don't think that was
particularly good for me."
"Hilarity darling. Don't get angry at me, but you do hang around with some rather
shady characters. Earthlings, mythical creatures, they're a bad influence on you.
Especially that Gremlin King person. He gets you in trouble all the time. And that
alien you live with, he's just disturbing....." Hilarity had a rare talent for blanking her
mother out while pretending to listen and nodding occasionally. In these
circumstances it was better to grin and bear it than start another argument when you've
spent the whole of the night before arguing with someone else. Trin stood in the back
ground trying not to get involved and Thomas roamed the living room in search of
alcoholic
beverages. When she finally left, Hilarity let out a sigh of relief.
"I think that went quite well actually." she said to her cousin.
"I didn't know Danny wanted you to stop seeing Jareth and Sarah." said Trin.
"Well, he did and I don't want to talk about it. God, I just wish I could get out of here
for a few weeks..." she would have carried on talking had she not disappeared into
thin air.
