Chap. 1: dares and disappearances
It was a stormy night. In a nice part of a small suburban town, two girls
were playing truth or dare while watching Labyrinth 2: The Return of the
Queen. "Truth or dare?" Amanda asked her friend, Lily. "Truth," she
answered, not paying attention. "You can't pick truth every time, Lily!"
Amanda shouted, trying to sound intimidating, but not succeeding. "I can
too, I'm the guest!" Lily answered indignantly. "Oh, fine," Amanda
answered, giving in. "If you were invited to go to the Labyrinth, who would
you travel with: Ludo or Sir Diddymus?" "Um, I guess I would choose Ludo
because he can summon up the rocks. Okay, it's your turn. Truth or dare?"
Amanda considered for a moment. "Dare," she said finally. "I dare you to
wish us both to the Labyrinth." Amanda rolled her eyes but stood up for
dramatic affect. "I wish that we were in the castle beyond the Goblin
City."
They waited. No sound could be heard. Which was quite odd because it was
usually very noisy. Suddenly the lights flickered and died. Wind blew the
windows open, and rain splashed in. Then there were many sounds coming from
all over the room. Suddenly, all was quiet.
"Ms. Amanda, Ms. Lily!" Amanda's nanny came in, to check on her charge and
friend. The windows were open, but no one was in the large bedroom. She
looked around a moment; then, figuring the girls had gone out, left to
return to her soap opera.
Boy's pov
Meanwhile, thousands of miles underground, two young men sat in a castle's
steam room, discussing their ideal girls. The oldest by a couple of
seconds, Peter, said to his twin, James, "My girl would be tall and willowy
with brown hair and eyes. She would be intelligent and witty, with a
cynical nature." He looked over at his brother and inquired about his.
"Mine would be of medium height with black hair and green eyes. She would
be funny and clever, with a pure nature." Peter rolled his eyes and said,
"What do you say we wish for the Labyrinth to send us such girls. It's
about time we thought about marriage anyhow. Father and Mum have been
pestering us for months about it." "Okay, We wish that the Labyrinth would
send us our perfect matches." The ground beneath their feet shook for a
moment, then all was still. They sighed and, figuring that there were no
perfect matches for goblin princes left the steam room. They were still
discussing their bad fortune when out of the blue two girls appeared in
front of them in pajamas. The boys looked at the girls; the girls looked at
the boys, and the boys passed out straight away.
