A/N I do not own Labyrinth or its characters. My writing is just for fun. All reviews are welcome and my grammar is awful I know.

This was Susan's idea. They had been walking home from a party together and ended up in Susan's place talking until the early hours about anything and everything. There was a lot of laughter that night until it came to talking about their teenage years. It turned out Susan had been quite the terror as a teenager, constantly in trouble with her parents for staying out late or dying her hair strange colours. She had also had rather a lot of boyfriends some not exactly what you would take home to mum and dad. Sarah had told her what a selfish brat she was. Quite the opposite to Susan, Sarah was more a loner at that age, staying home and losing herself in a world of make believe. Sarah told her how at the age of fifteen she had done something really stupid and talked about the man who had given her the chance to correct her mistake.

Susan watched Sarah as she spoke about that man. Although Sarah didn't go into detail about what she did when she spoke of him her eyes seemed to light up and her voice was full of regret. Susan had never seen Sarah talk about anyone with so much passion not even past boyfriends.

"Sarah do you love this guy"

Sarah glanced at her friend in surprise not totally sure on how to answer. Did she love him?

"Look Sarah you obviously have feelings even after all this time"

"I spent very little time with him"

"That maybe but he has made quite the impression maybe you should contact him, get back in touch"

"It isn't as simple as that. I'm not sure I can now"

"Phone him Sarah what have you got to lose"

"He won't be listed"

"Ok write a letter then. You don't have to post it or anything just write down how you feel and all the things you would say if you could see him. It will give you some closure then at least you can move on. First love is always hard to leave behind"

Sarah had remained quiet for a while before answering Susan.

"Maybe, I'll think about it"

The topic was then left alone and they talked about work and parents instead and their plans for the upcoming summer break. After another hour Sarah had said goodbye to her friend and headed home. Talking about that night had awoken a lot of old memories. Maybe Susan's idea wasn't that bad after all. As sleep was alluding her Sarah got up and rummaged through the draw of her vanity not stopping until she found some paper and a pen.

She placed them in front of her and glanced quickly at the clock three am. Luckily it was the weekend so she could sleep in late if needed. Another hour passed and she was still sat there looking at the blank paper. How did you start a letter to a King from a different world?

Jareth

Your Majesty

Dear Goblin King

This was not as easy as it first sounded Sarah realised. She didn't want it to sound to formal but also not to informal. Ok she picked up the pen and began to write.

Jareth

It has been some time since I saw you and you may not even remember me. My name is Sarah Williams and ten years ago to this day actually I wished my brother Toby away to your Goblins. Yes, I was a selfish child to do so and realised instantly the mistake I made. I hate you for taking him but am grateful that you gave me the opportunity to put things right.

Your Labyrinth, well what can I say it's amazing, everything I thought it would be and more. Although I have to be honest it was not quite the piece of cake I made it out to be. I hate you for putting me through all of that but am equally happy you did because I made some great friends along the way.

You were rather cruel I remember in your treatment of me, it was not nice running form the cleaners, I did not appreciate the drugged peach and most definitely disliked the bog of stench. Although the dream you gifted was everything I could have wanted. The ballroom although rather scary at first was lovely and the dance with you, well it was that moment that I lost my heart. Why could you not be that man?

And all too soon the whole thing was over and I had to say those words to get home with Toby, I'm sorry.

Jareth, I miss you, I miss you greatly. My life feels empty as though something is missing and I hate you for this. In fact, every relationship I have ends in disaster because I compare each man to you, they are never you. At first I thought it was maybe some school girl type crush but as the years go by I realise you still hold a special place within my heart, within me.

Why did you just leave me behind? You taught me so much in one night and because of you I grew up. You helped turn a young girl into a young woman. for a long time after I though you would return but you never did. You changed my life so much and not a day passes without you being in my thoughts. It hurts that you are not here and I have to admit I have shed a few tears over you being absent from my life.

I believed those words in the book that the King had fallen in love with the girl but had he really?

Well I am just one of many silly girls who wish their siblings away to you. I doubt you even think of me.

I hope you are happy and well. Although I do hate you for some things, I love you more.

Thank you for the adventure

All my love for I surely do love you

Sarah

She quickly placed the letter in an envelope with just one word on the front, Jareth. What do I do with it now she thought? Susan had said to write it then just put it away out of sight. Sarah looked at the clock it was five thirty. She placed the envelope next to her statue that she still had of him on her vanity. Yawning she retired to bed, she would put the letter away later. Within minutes of her head resting on the pillow she was sound asleep. She never noticed the hand that slipped through the mirror to retrieve the letter.
