Misunderstandings

by Shiroikami

A sequel to "Imaginary Friend". Jareth promised that he would be there for Sarah. Sarah promised to never forget him. So why did neither of them seem to remember? Takes place during the movie.

1. A Quick Explanation

It took me awhile to figure out how I wanted to tell this story. I knew that if I wrote a sequel to "Imaginary Friend," it would have to be a retelling of the actual Labyrinth story in order to answer the big question of "who forgot?"

In the end, I decided two things. First, that I would have to break my usual, easy pattern of writing one-shots and write a chapter fic. And second that each chapter would have to be from two points of view, Jareth's and Sarah's.

So that said, I've set each chapter up with two chapter titles. The first title is Sarah's title, and the second is Jareth's title. Every chapter is the same scene told twice, from two different points of view, Sarah's, then Jareth's. Because of the timing of the story, Sarah's POV will tend to be a little stiffer, since I'm working around the existing dialogue and action from the movie. Likewise, Jareth's POV will be a bit more flow-y since he's so enigmatic in the movie that he could be thinking anything.

I tried to keep as close to the actual dialogue and progression of the movie as I could, and any omissions were for the sake of the art and my sanity. So without any further ado, I give you "Misunderstandings."
