Disclaimer- Characters and setting are not my property. Only the plot is.

A/N- I write very fluffy fan fictions, this is the only one that may turn out to be a little bit dark. So if it is fluffy in places, don't be too disturbed!

A/N (2)-- This chapter is OBSCENELY short. I can guarantee that each coming chapter will be longer. I just needed to get all my pre-thoughts down and in here and in order.

Chapter 1: Dreams VS. Reality

Don't be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality. If you can dream it, you can make it so.

-Belva Davis

"Spinning Crystals and human to owl transformation, what was I thinking?" Sarah snorted.

She dumped a sketchbook and tattered diary into her bedroom waste bin.

She truly was crazy. 6 years after her initial hallucination of the 13 hour Labyrinth, she was 21 and could at last realize that it was all fake.

Jareth. What a silly name, anyhow. But still, she couldn't help but to remember his raw beauty and his arrogance. Sarah still thought about that. That dream. She just didn't understand how it could feel so real. She could still taste the tanginess of the peach, and feel Hoggle's hand as she placed her bracelet on him. Hoggle. A sharp wave of memories flooded over her. Sir Didymus, Ludo, and Hoggle. They were her friends, real or not. She curled her nose up in distaste, remembering the bog of eternal stench.

She ripped up a small drawing of her memory of Jareth.

She didn't need this right now. She didn't need to go on a winding trail of melancholy memories. She needed a sedative. With less than 2 days until her impending wedding, she couldn't stop thinking about love. At 15, she dreamt of a Ball. A Masquerade Ball. A Ball at which she found the love of her life, but alas, couldn't obtain for fear of losing her brother, Toby. It was all a dream, but Sarah knew that's how she wanted to feel.

Sarah was to marry in 2 days. She was to marry Jared, a man who resembled Jareth in many ways. His looks, his personality, even his name, but he wasn't like her Jareth enough.

Sarah was currently sitting in her and Jared's apartment. All her memories of the Labyrinth were being flung into the waste bin. Sarah was going to wipe away everything that had anything to do with the Labyrinth.

She needed to forget about Jareth in order to love Jared.

She couldn't compare her reality to a dream.

But it didn't stop her from trying.

I just needed a simple intro chapter, I can promise that each coming chapter will be longer.(again)
