I still dream of you

It had been three years since Sarah had left the underground, but she still dreamed of him. In her dreams she would relive the dance that she had with him. His blonde hair that cascaded to his shoulders, his lovely mismatched eyes, and his beautiful voice. She would wake up with the haunting melody echoing in her head. She had finished school and was looking for a collage but just couldn't bear to leave Toby and the memories behind. She had long since packed away her childish belongings like her stuffed animals, costumes, and toys. Toby still had Lancelot but that was the only reminder of her time underground that remained, everything else was gone. Her room was now decorated with dark fairies and angels but soon she would leave those things behind too. Karen was starting to get frustrated with how she wasn't being serious about collage, and her dad had stopped paying attention to her a year ago when she told him she wasn't feeling like part of the family anymore. She no longer hated Toby and she spoiled him rotten. If he even started tearing up she was there to comfort him even if he was in trouble. That's another reason why Karen wanted her out of the house.

"Sarah! We're leaving!" Karen called from downstairs. She and Sarah's dad were taking Toby to see Karen's parents and they would be gone for two weeks. Sarah didn't really want to go because Karen's parents didn't really like her so she was going to stay at the house and "house- sit" as Karen called it.

"Coming! Don't leave yet I want to say goodbye!" she yelled as she heard the door open, but Karen, being the bitch that she was, shut the door and hurried everyone to the car saying, "sorry Sarah but we have to go now!"

By the time Sarah got to the driveway they were pulling out onto the street. So she just waved goodbye and went back inside.

Ring….Ring….Ring

"Coming!" Sarah said to no one in particular as she ran towards the phone. Her family had left two days ago and she was so bored!

"Hello?" she said.

"Hi Sarah!"

"Oh hey Amy. What's up? How did your date with Chad go?" Sarah asked because she knew that's all Amy would talk about anyway. So she just sat and pretended to listen as she turned on the news.

"We have had multiple reports of missing children. The most recent being a toddler of age two who disappeared out of his own house. So we warn you to lock your doors and windows and keep tight watch over your kids"

"OH MY GOD!"

"Sarah what is it" Amy said sounding frustrated. "Have you even listened to me at all?"

"Sorry, but I have to go!" Sarah hung up and bounded to the garage. She pulled out the box labeled old books from the stack of boxes from her old room. She opened the box ripping the tape off and tearing through the cardboard, pulling out the books on top to get to the bottom.

There lying on the bottom was her oldest book. Labyrinth, the title read. There was no author. "I knew it! He's still alive!" Sarah cried jumping up and running into the house. She ran into the living room and turned off the TV. She stood in the middle of the living room, and looked into the mirror above the TV. "Hoggle, I need you!" she said not knowing if it would still work.

After a couple of minutes she turned away giving up, when she heard a voice from behind her. "Sarah? Is that you?" said the gruff familiar voice.

"Hoggle! I didn't know if you would hear me! It's been so long! Almost a year since we last talked! How are you?"

"Uhh…. I got married." he said blushing.

"What? Really? What's her name?"

"Her name is Kaki and we got married last winter."

"Oh that's so great! Hoggle I'm so happy for you!"

"Thanks."

"How are Ludo and Sir Dydimus?"

"They're doing fine. Ludo is helping to fill up the bog of stench and Dydimus is leading the goblin army."

"Fill up the bog of stench? Whose idea was that?"

"Mine Jareth said—"

"Hoggle! Why didn't you tell me he was still alive! All this time I thought I had killed him! Why?"

"I didn't know if you wanted to know. I mean he took your baby brother! I thought you hated him!"

"Well…. I don't hate him. I just…. Well… I don't know. I was worried I'd killed him. How is he?"

"Why don't you ask him yourself? Come for a visit! We miss you Sarah!"

"I don't know….what would I say to him?"

"I don't know but we all miss you Sarah….just think about it okay? I have to go. Kaki is back. Bye!"

"Hoggle!" but he was gone.

Sarah sat down on the couch to think and the next thing she knew she was asleep. "What?" Sarah looked around to see she was in the ballroom again but this time nobody was there. "I must be asleep." She sat in the middle of the room on a pile of cushions and started humming his song.

"There's such a sad love

Deep in your eyes

A kind of pale jewel

Open and closed

Within your eyes."

"Jareth? Where are you?" she asked standing up slowly and looking around.

"There's such a fool heart

Beating so fast

In search of new dreams

A love that will last

Within your heart

I'll place the moon

Within your heart"

"Jareth! Please!" she said getting more frantic by the minute.

"As the pain sweeps through

Makes no sense for you

Every thrill has gone

Wasn't too much fun at all

But I'll be there for you

As the world falls down"

"Jareth come on stop it! I know you're there!" Sarah turned and gasped as she saw Hoggle lying on the floor covered in blood. "HOGGLE!!"

Sarah tried to run to him but as she neared him, woke up. She ran to the mirror screaming, "Hoggle! Hoggle I need you!" but nothing happened. She waited twice as long as last time, but he didn't come.

"No! Hoggle!" Sarah ran up to her room. "I'm coming Hoggle!"

A/N sorry about the weird dream I just had to find a way to get Sarah into the labyrinth. I think I'm going to wait until I get at least one review until I put up the next chapter so review.

Disclaimer: I do not own labyrinth but I do own David Bowie! (In my dreams of course!)

Buh-bye!!!
