Here is my new story. I hope you all like it. For preparation for this story, I did a great deal of planning. I wrote very specific summaries of what happens in each chapter in advance if I ever get writer's block while writing this story. So updates might come quicker. I have the second chapter already written and ready to be uploaded... however I do not have the time to upload it now. Plus, I still need to tweak with it, some things in the chapter need to be changed. I'll probably upload it on Thursday.

I'd like to thank my beta, Celecia Leigh, for looking over this.

Enjoy.

Chapter One – Gone?

It was a rainy, windy, and cold day in the Underground. Goblins were safe and warm in their shops and houses. Other animals and creatures were in their caves and what-not.

It would only rain twice in a year; however, this particular day was the third time that it had rained that year. The morning was greeted with buckets of water falling from the sky. The clouds had rolled in from nowhere the day before. The citizens of the Goblin City were suspicious of the randomness change of weather pattern.

A goblin could be seen running up the concrete-covered streets of the Goblin City, he had his arm raised over his head, trying to keep his head from getting wet. He finally reached the doors of the Goblin City castle.

He pushed them open with all of this strength and they swung open. He ran as fast as he could. He arrived into the Throne room. The room was scatted with goblins and chickens. Their ruler sat upon a very unique looking throne.

"Sire! Sire!" yelled the goblin running up to the throne. He bowed to his master.

"Yes?" drawled the man upon the throne.

The goblin was gasping of air. "Sh-she's gone, Sire."

Rage appeared on the Goblin King's face. "Gone? What do you mean by gone?"

The goblin flinched. "She was near the water fountain; she didn't fall in, but disappeared into thin air!"

Jareth was heaving heavily. He looked around the room. Each and every goblin were quiet and looking at him, their eyes wide open, afraid that he'll do something to them.

"Well, she still could be in the kingdom. What are you all doing here? Go find her!" he commanded loudly.

None of the goblins bothered him after that. They all quickly left the room leaving Jareth by himself.

He pulled a crystal from the air and looked into it. "Si, where are you?" he asked no one, softly.

At the exact same time somewhere else…

"Thank you again so much, Sarah, for letting Toby stay here."

She inwardly sighed. Her father and step-mother were going on an eight-day cruise, not allowed to bring children under the age of eighteen; Sarah had to baby sit Toby for eight days, despite him constantly saying he is older enough to stay by himself.

"It's no problem, Karen. He knows he can come over when ever he wants to," she replied.

Her stepmother nodded and looked down at her watch. "Oh. We better go now. Robert! We need to get going now," she called out.

Sarah's father walked into the living room, behind him was Toby wearing a frown on his pink blemished face.

"It's not fair. Why'd you have to go to a cruise that lets no kids on board?" he complained.

Sarah got a sense of deja vu, but instantly forgot about it to console her brother. "Don't worry, Toby. I'm sure we'll have a good time together."

Toby said nothing, and went to sit on the couch.

"Now, Toby, you be good for Sarah, alright?" asked Karen as she walked to the door.

"Yes, I will," he replied in monotone while he rolled his eyes unknown by his mother.

Karen walked out of the door, leaving her husband to say good-bye.

"We'll be back in eight days," Robert reminded.

Sarah nodded and moved into her father's arms to hug him. "Have a good time."

"Toby, behave yourself, ok?"

Toby nodded in response and before Sarah knew it, her father and stepmother left.

Sarah turned to notice Toby sulking. "Cheer up, Toby. We're gonna have a great time."

He didn't reply. He merely covered his face with a pillow and fell forward on the couch.

Sarah just shook her head and walked down the hallway.

It rained heavily that day. Storms were not expected from the weather forecast the night before.

Sarah looked up from her book and glanced over at Toby, who was staring out of the window, not blinking as the water fell from the sky.

Poor kid being stuck with me, Sarah thought. She closed her book. "Toby, could you get the mail before it starts to pour down?"

Toby turned his head slightly and sighed. Sarah watched him as he walked out of the house to the letterbox. It had started to pour down heavily as Toby opened the latch. And then the impossible happened…

"Toby!" she yelled as she saw her brother disappear in thin air. She ran outside and searched the street. "Toby! Toby!" she yelled again, now soaked. Thunder clapped above her, and it reminded her of something that happened years ago.

She ran back into her house, knowing what she had to do, but still scared of what that was.

A/N: And that's one down. What do you think? Should I go on? What do you think will happen next?

The title is a play on words. I chose it because it's significant to the story and movie. Can anyone guess?
