Hey all!

This is my third Labyrinth fic so hopefully it will be even better!

There is a Jekyll & Hyde theme going on in this fic. I used a song from it my last one and then I got a really good idea today so here it is! Hope you like it as much as I do!

I don't own the Labyrinth or Jekyll & Hyde!

Enjoy!

NJEverlove!

'All I know is' I'm lost
And I'm counting the cost
My emotions are in a spin!
I don't know who to blame…'

Lucy truly had an amazing voice. They had been rehearsing for hours now and Sarah was starting to feel her voice going, but Lucy never seemed to get like that. Even through UNI Lucy had always come up the top of the class. Sarah tried to be as good as her, or even better, but she was always just one step ahead. It didn't make any difference though, they were still friends and they still worked together perfectly. They had been doing Jekyll & Hyde for a few months now and as usual, Lucy had got a huge part in it. She auditioned to be Emma but got Lucy instead as the director thought that was funny. Sarah was Emma, the posh girl. It suited her.

"Ok, I'll see you all back here tomorrow. 11 o'clock, no excuses this time Sarah." Jeff shouted across the room, his eyes locking on to Sarah. She just nodded and grabbed her stuff before heading out of the room with Lucy. Lucy was beaming as usual, singing always gave her a buzz.

"It was really good today, don't you think so?" She said, her voice high as she bounced along the corridor out of the building.

"Yeah it was good, my throat hurts a bit though." Sarah almost croaked for effect but decided to leave it.

It didn't sound like she enjoyed it, but as always Lucy let it go. "So, where shall we go for lunch?"

"I'm going to see Toby, I haven't been around in a while."

"Can I come? I love Toby, he's so cute!"

"Umm…Yeah sure." Sarah smiled and started walking to the bus. It wasn't far from the theatre so it didn't take long, but somehow today it felt so far. Something was wrong. She knew it. She just didn't know what it was, and had a feeling it was something to do with Toby. That was the reason for her visit today, she had been feeling like this for the last few days and wasn't sure if she should act on it or not. Sure, Toby was her brother and she loved him. But he always annoyed her so much. If something was happening with him, then she could just let it happen and hope he learnt his lesson. She knew she could never do that though. He was too important to her.

All the way there Lucy wouldn't stop talking about the play. It wasn't so bad, it meant Sarah didn't have to talk too much. She didn't feel like talking today.

"Sarah? Sarah come on, we're here." Lucy nudged Sarah out of her thoughts and pulled her up out of her seat. Sarah followed and tried to remember what she was thinking about.

"Sarah! Lucy!" Toby shouted as the two girls entered the house. He jumped up to give Sarah a hug and then did the same for Lucy. "I missed you, why didn't you come sooner?" He said as he jumped back up to Sarah.

"Ive been busy Tobes. But Im here now and Im all yours." She started tickling him and he wriggled in her arms, bursts of laughter erupting from him. She stopped and dropped him gently onto the sofa behind them. "Where's Dad?"

"In the kitchen." Toby said half laughing. Lucy flopped down on the seat next to Toby and they started playing video games, as they always did. She was just a bigger, female version of him really. Maybe that's why they along so well? Sarah thought as she left the room. On many occasions when she brought friends back, Toby would refuse to talk to them because he felt they were talking her away from him. The rare times when he would speak, nothing nice came out of his mouth, and for an 8 year old he could think of a lot of horrible things to say! They would get angry, and say something horrible back and Sarah wouldn't see them again. It was a harsh way to live, but she had decided when Toby was little that if they couldn't cope with him then they really couldn't be her friend. He was a huge part of her life. When Lucy had come round, Toby had tried his best to be horrible to her and make her angry, but nothing worked. He tried saying horrible things about her, but she just laughed and joined in making fun of herself. Toby found this funny, and decided that she was a good friend, a funny friend, totally different from the rest. From then on it was like she was part of the family.

"Dinners ready!" Sarah heard her Dad, Eric, shout from the kitchen. Toby was the first to get up and rush into the room.

"Sarah's here!" He shouted excitedly as he sat down at the table.

"Is she?"

"Yeah, she brought Lucy too!"

Eric laughed as Sarah and Lucy walked into the room. "Well that doesn't surprise me. Its just a good job I made extra then." He got two more plates out of the cupboard and put them on the table before dishing out Toby's favourite, Spaghetti Bolognaise. This had been his favourite since he was 2, having discovered it made a lot of mess and, it tasted better than anything else his Dad ever made. It was the only thing Eric could cook that didn't end up tasting completely different or end up being burnt to a crisp.

"I told you she would come Dad." Toby grumbled from his seat. "Didn't I tell you?"

Eric sighed. "Toby, she rang yesterday and said she would come this week."

Sarah was about to put his food in front of him but decided against it just yet, she didn't want it all over her. "Yeah but I said it would be today!" He said, his voice raising as he banged his fists against the table.

"Hey, no raised voices over dinner." Sarah interrupted before they could get any further. She knew how long their arguments could go on for and she really didn't want it to start now.

"Yeah, leave them till after dinner." Lucy said, pulling a face at Toby as he pulled one back at her. Sarah and Eric both just laughed. They really were so similar sometimes it was insane.

"So how's the play coming along?" Eric asked. Sarah hadn't really wanted to talk about it but now she had too.

"It's going well." Sarah mumbled, looking down at her plate.

"Its going brilliantly!" Lucy beamed. "And its so much fun too! We love it don't we Sarah?"

"Yeah its wonderful." She tried to add more enthusiasm to her voice and just managed it so her Dad wouldn't start asking awkward questions. She did enjoy it, she just thought it was a bit too much for her. She didn't think she was good enough.

"So when do I get to see my little star on stage then? I might tell your Mum too, she'd love to come." He had been back in touch with her Mum, Linda, for 5 years now and she had visited a few times. Sarah had seen her twice. It might be a big thing for her dad, but seeing her Mum twice in her life wasn't really a big thing for Sarah.

"Yeah that'll be good." She smiled and hoped that Lucy didn't notice it was fake. Her Dad wouldn't, she knew that because he never noticed. But Lucy was around her so much when she was acting, she always knew when she was faking it. An awkward silence followed in which only the scraping of metal against the plats could be heard.

"Finished!" Toby exclaimed before he shot out of his seat and back into the from room. The TV was turned back on and they could hear the game being started again. "Your loosing Lucy!"

"That's ok, Ill play later." Lucy shouted back as she started to clear the plates from the table. Eric went into the front room with Toby and as usual Sarah and Lucy did the dishes.

"So you don't want your Mum to come see the play?" Lucy said as she dried a plate that Sarah had just washed.

Sarah smiled briefly, having known this would be asked at some point. "I just don't think its that important. She's never taken an interest in any other part of my life, so why should she now."

"Well maybe your right. But maybe you should give her a chance."

"She's had 24 years Lucy. She's had so much time and so many chances that she hasn't taken."

"Hmm. Yeah. Well whatever you decide, you know you've still got us."

Sarah wiped her hands dry and smiled, a genuine smile this time. "Yeah. Come on, you've got a game to finish."
