*I don't own Labyrinth...but if I did...Jareth would be mine! Muwahaha!*
It was a warm summer day in the Underground. A group of friends sat around a small cottage, bored and hot. A big furry monster, a goblin, a fox – like creature accompanied by his dog, and a human girl were thinking about things to do, but it was too hot to do anything! The human girl, Sarah, glanced out the window and to the castle that sat a few hundred feet away. She looked with envy. He was probably sitting in a nice, cold castle, while she and her friends were sweltering. Who is he, you ask? Why, he's Jareth, the Goblin King!
Sarah glanced around her friends as an idea popped into her mind. "I've got a game for us to play."
"What is it, my lady?" Sir Didymus, the fox – like creature with the dog, asked.
"It's something us humans call 'Truth or Dare'," Sarah grinned mischievously.
"'Truth or Dare, you say?" Hoggle, the goblin, repeated. "How do we play?"
"It's simple, really," Sarah replied.
She began telling the rules of how to play before sending everyone off to find one more player. They were to return to the castle courtyard ten minutes later, since the cottage would be too small. They returned ten minutes later. Sarah had gotten the Wiseman, an old man with a bird on his head; Ludo had gotten the Worm; Hoggle had gotten a Firey, a reddish bird – like creature; and Sir Didymus had gotten the Junk Lady, a lady with a pile of junk on her back.
"So, uh, you've got a game for us to play?" The Wiseman asked.
"Yes, you twit!" The bird on his head squawked.
"Will you BE QUIET?" The Wiseman said a frustrated sigh.
"Alright!" The bird replied.
"Alright!" The Wiseman said.
"Alright!" The bird repeated again. The Wiseman gave the bird a dirty look. Ludo was smiling at the funny pair. Sarah suppressed a laugh and explained the game to the newcomers.
"When we're done," the Worm piped up. "We can go meet the missus."
"We ain't meeting the missus today," Hoggle shooed the Worm's suggestion.
"Ay girl," the Firey grinned. "So we gots to choose us a truth or dare?"
"Right," Sarah replied.
"Just how exactly do we choose?" The Junk Lady asked.
"A truth can be about a secret or something. A dare can be wild and outrageous, like stealing Jareth's boots or something." Sarah watched Hoggle grimaced at that thought.
They sat in a circle in the courtyard, ready to begin. Jareth had passed by a window and glanced at them, wondering what they were up to. Giving a shrug, he walked off. He hoped to dine with Sarah later on, so hopefully she wouldn't be out too late. Sarah came to visit the Underground a few times every week, but she and Jareth never really spent more time together. She normally came to see her friends.
Back down below, Sarah smiled. "Let the game begin!"
Very short. Hopefully I can make it up in the next chapter.
