Hatter: In this story Sarah is Toby's legal guardian because of his parents death six years before. It may end up a little more modern day. Also Toby is 12 and Sarah is 26.
King: We don't own labyrinth... but damn I wish we did that was a good movie.
Ever since the parents died I have been having nightmares of a nightmare I had when Toby was little. The one where the Goblin King kidnaped him. But that was just a dream and was not my main concern because, Toby was going to start school in a new town because we had to move so I could find a job... my old one didn't work out, you know the real stuff. Luckily it was the first day for all the other kids to so he wouldn't have missed anything. I was glad to see that he was smiling when he got off the bus. I was glad it all went well. We started to walk home.
"So how was your first day?"
"Good"
"It was good"
"Yes"
"Did you meat any new friends? Or at least potential friends?"
"Yes"
"What's with the one word answers?" he paused.
"I. Don't. Know. That better that's three words"
"Oh so your going to be a little smart ass about it."
"Yes, yes I am"
"Oh are you just going to go up one word each time now?"
"No I don't think so..." he paused again and counted how many words he used on his fingers. "Huh I guess, possibly I am." he smirked. I guess 'Huh' counted as a word to him.
"Fine you do that until you run out of things to say Then I'll have peace and quiet for once!"
"Ha, ha, ha that is so funny."
"Get you smart ass inside boy"
"I will get my smart ass inside, Sarah" with that he ran in to the house to finish the unpacking he had put off until now. He was turning into a teenager I was happy sad and kind of scared.
(A week later)
Toby hadn't talked to me all week not evan his little smart talk remarks like a normal kid. So when he went to school I did some snooping.
"Now let's see what he is hiding" I was looking through his stuff it felt wrong because it was but not the point he had a lock box.
"What's this... huh I guess I need the key I wonder where it is." When I couldn't find it I gave up for the day. And I went to my room to finish unpacking my books.
"Where is it where is it? No, no where is it?" I finished unpacking the last box and I couldn't find my favorite book mother she gave it to me it was Labyrinth. I also hade her old copy it never left my sight but my copy was the one that was missing it had notes in it, about the similarities between the first nightmare and the story. When he got home that was the first thing I asked him about.
"Toby have you seen my book?"
"Which one?" that was the first thing he said to me I a week.
"Labyrinth the copy that is a little newer with a green sticker on the cover that you put on it when you where younger." he looked a little nervous.
"Haven't seen it" he answered quickly.
"Hand it over"
"What makes you think I have it?"
I raised an eye brow " do you really want to get in to this?"
"No"
"So?"
"I'll go get it." He went into his room and came out with it.
"Why did you take it?"
"Well" he blushed a little.
"It's about a girl isn't it." I said it as a statement more than a question.
"How did you know"
"I just know. Now tell me about it."
"Well there's this girl Linda she's way into that book and I wanted to impress her so I took your copy I didn't evan look at the other one because I knew you would freak."
"So you like her."
"I guess I do"
"Lets go"
"Where?"
"To get you your own copy I don't want you to use mine let alone touching my mothers." he smiled.
"Thank you" he was soon reading his own copy of labyrinth. He looked like he enjoyed the book to I liked that. He was evan marking pages he liked. A few weeks later he came home with a cute girl with long black hair and dark blue eyes she wasn't beautiful she was just cute. I could tell she adored Toby it was cute.
"I fond a job"
"Really"
"Yeah I'm now an illustrator"
"So you get to draw for a living now?" I nodded "Lucky"
"Toby... remember" Linda was reminding him of something I didn't really care. I picked up the book I was currently reading.
"Oh yeah... Sarah" but I guess it had something to do with me.
"Yes..."
"Linda needs to ask you for a favor" He pushed the slightly shorter girl in front of him.
"Wait..." she looked at Toby "Fine" she looked back to me "It is not a favor and it was Toby's idea You are going out tonight he will be here at seven his name is Ethan. He's from England he's new here he's a friend of my family he's 27 he needs to get out more and so do you" I was about to open my mouth to protest when Toby spoke.
"Sis come on you are in your room drawing all day then you pass out when your not working you need to get out a lot more than you do"
"Fine" I said with a lack of a good argument.
"Good" with that Toby and Linda went to his room.
"Damn kids why did they tell me so last minute seven is three hours from now how did they get me to do this." I cursed under my breath about twenty minuets later I took Linda home.
"Hey brat wake me at ten to five"
"Fine Sarah." he set the alarm on his watch and I drifted to sleep.
"We're coming for him Sarah" Jareth was talking to me from every where and nowhere.
"No, No you cant have him you cant take him from me"
"You will be alone Sarah" He appeared in front of me a few steps. How could something so beautiful scare me so much...
"You have no power..." he rushed over and placed a gloved hand over my mouth
"Hush you precious thing that won't work this time." next thing I knew I was in the middle of the labyrinth alone. Every time I turned a corner I would end up in the same spot I ran But I didn't go any where I heard baby Toby screaming crying I grew tiered but I kept running I had to find him.
"Toby, Toby I'm coming for you wait for me." my legs started to give out. "No I have to keep going" I tripped and I couldn't get up... I hade to find him I hade to have my little brother back... I had to I stood. I clock was ticking in my mind and it got louder as it became visible I didn't have time to find him I only had fifteen minuets and I had no clue what way I was going.
"Sarah he is the only one you have left and now he will be mine this time he will be mine" His voice was everywhere nowhere and my head.
"No, No I can't be alone I can't please" I said weakly as tears slid down my face. "You can't have him" I screamed.
"Sarah, Sarah wake up wake up now It's a dream Sarah wake up!" Toby shook me awake.
"Toby?"
"Yeah it's me Sarah it ok it was just a dream"
"Is it Ten to five yet?"
"No you were having a Nightmare you started to cry so I woke you." I pulled him into a hug. The goblin king was never going to get his hands on my brother ever again."It's ok Sarah."
"Thank you" I released him and wiped my eyes dry. "I think I'll get ready for that date you said I had to go on."
"You do that"
"I will" I went to my room and put on my favorite blouse and a pair of slacks and high heels. It was Ok for any thing except jogging. I pulled my hair back into a ponytail and applied mascara that is it I was not looking forward to this. I looked Ok I felt Ok I was expecting an Ok-ish night. I did not expect a nightmare gone sweet.
King:I am having fun with this one
Hatter: I don't know I think it needs something...
King:It needs nothing!
