Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, I just decided to borrow them and
cause a little havoc in the Underground. Hope that you like it. It is my
first Labyrinth fan fic, so try and go easy on it.
Authors Note: This is my first attempt on a Labyrinth story. I have seen the movie many times and decided that Sarah was crazy. This is how I think it should be. Any feedback would be welcome, but it will have to be through reviews because I'm restricted on e-mail. *= conversing with self Italics =thoughts "Dreams Come True"
"Sarah, beware, I have been generous up until now, but I can be cruel."
"Generous, what have you done that's generous?"
"Everything! Everything you wanted, I have done. You wanted the child be taken, I took him. You coward before me; I was frightening. I have re- ordered time, I have turned the world upside- down and I have done it all for you. I'm exhausted from living up to your expectations of me. Isn't that generous?"
"Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City. For my will is as strong as yours and my kingdom."
"Stop! Look Sarah, look what I'm offering. Your dreams."
Sarah looked at Jareth, deep into his emotional mismatched eyes. What she saw was nothing but love and sadness. Looking deeper, she was lost in thought. She thought about what her life would be like if she was too accept what Jareth had to offer. A life with or without Jareth. What it would be like living in a world of pure fantasy and magic. Sarah had always wanted to live in a place that was magical. She had dreamed about living in a magical place where she was loved by the people there. So unlike the world she lived in now, where people used, abused, ignored, or rejected her. After a moment of thought, she looked at him, and sighed.
"Jareth, if I do this, if I actually accept your gift, will you send Toby home?"
"Sarah, I will move the stars for you. All you have to do is ask."
"Alright, Jareth," Sarah smiled. "I'll stay here with you in the Underground."
Slowly, Sarah reached out and took the crystal. As soon as she touched it, it started to glow. Then, all of a sudden, the air started to shimmer. Jareth had transported them into the throne room. The goblins have all gone down into the city. Toby was sitting on Jareth's throne half- asleep. Sarah ran over to him and picked him up.
"Toby," she whispered.
He stirred slightly, and then fell asleep. Sarah smiled and sat down on the throne. They sat there for a few minutes, as loving brother and sister. Toby moved in his sleep and Sarah kissed his forehead. Meanwhile, Jareth had been watching the siblings, who not so long ago had been at each others throats. He smiled slightly, wondering if the two that were in his throne knew how lucky they were to have each other. Love that strong could not be broken. He sighed, knowing that what he was about to do was not going to be fun. Jareth slowly walked over to Sarah. He crouched next to her and whispered softly to her.
"Sarah, it's time. You have to let him go. I will send him home, just as I promised. With no memory of what happened. But, you, Sarah, have to let him go."
Sarah looked at him with fear in her eyes. She had just gotten her brother back, and yet she had to lose him again. She really didn't want to lose him, but she also wanted to stay in the Underground. Sarah closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and thought. After a while she looked back at Jareth, who also seemed to be in deep thought. Jareth knew what was going through her mind. If he was going to keep her he'd have to think of something and fast. He had worked so hard to get her and now she was about to lose her again. I will NOT lose her! Noticing that she was looking at him, he finally spoke.
"Sarah, I know what you're thinking. I'm going to make you a deal. I'll let you go back to Aboveground with Toby for six years. This should give you time to live the lesson you have learned here."
"Oh thank you Jareth. What do I have to do in return for getting to go?'
Jareth gave her a wicked grin, showing his fang-like teeth. This was going to be the fun part. "I get to be in your dreams until you come back. I might even grant you with my presence every once-in-a-while.
Suddenly Sarah's eyes were set ablaze. She really didn't like the fact that Jareth could enter her dreams and life while she was Aboveground. She looked at him with fire in her eyes. He seemed a little taken back with her really sudden mood swing.
"What? What did I do now?" Jareth asked innocently. (Which we all know is impossible for our beloved Goblin King.)
"Nothing yet. But I swear, if you make anything in my dreams become twisted or bad I'll give you a good reason to send me back Aboveground for the rest of your life." Sarah growled softly so she wouldn't wake up Toby. Jareth just smiled and vanished.
"I'll only do what you want me to, dear heart." Jareth purred in her ear. Sarah gasped and turned to meet Jareth's gorgeous mismatched eyes gazing lovingly down upon her. For just a brief moment, the world stopped for the two. Slowly, Jareth leaded in and lightly brushed his lips against hers. Sarah's eyes slowly closed, and he deepened the kiss. Sarah leaded in slightly, both of their passions mixing. Toby chose that moment to wake up. Sarah pulled away quickly and turned her attentions to Toby. Jareth silently cursed the small child. He knew it wasn't his fault he ruined a perfect moment, but Jareth was not happy about it. Sarah was thanking Toby for waking up. She really didn't want Jareth to see her blushing. She was actually surprised that she even kissed him.
That was an interesting first kiss. I thought that I would be kissed by a nice guy from school or something and now I'm here kissing the evil, powerful, full-of-himself, but incredibly hot Goblin King.
Sarah had no idea why she had responded to his kiss, but she did. And quiet frankly it scared her. *Oh come on, you know you liked it.* *Shut up, I did nothing of the sort.* *Oh really, then why did you accept to stay in the Underground with him?* *I don't know!* *You love him, that's why.* *No I don't!* *Not yet anyway.*
"Sarah, love, it's time," he softly whispered in her ear.
"Alright, we're ready. What do I have to do to get back? I don't have to say the words, do I?" she asked, hoping that she didn't.
Jareth chuckled. "No, love. You accepted my gift, the game is over. Until tonight, my lady."
"Until tonight, my brave knight."
With a wave of his hand, Sarah and Toby were transported to Aboveground. It was just starting to chime midnight. He did re-order time. Sarah ran upstairs to see if Toby was still asleep. She walked into his room to find him asleep in his crib. Picking up Lancelot from the floor, Sarah smiled and put the bear in the crib with Toby.
"He belongs to you now. Take good care of him."
Sarah went into her bedroom and started to get ready for bed. She heard her dad and Karen come home from where-ever they had been. Sarah changed and sat down at her vanity. She picked up her brush and started to brush her hair. Looking into the mirror and smiled. Her reflection was joined with Jareth sitting on the edge of her bed.
